menting how well-suited the couple was, or hearing other female guests praising Lin Meng's virtues, she felt an urge to silence everyone!These are all hers, they should all be hers.It's Lin Meng who t...It was just during rush hour, and the road was exceptionally congested. Everywhere you looked, it was a sea of cars. Even with Rong Ling's superior driving skills, he couldn't overcome this level of traffic. He could only inch forward at a torturously slow pace, stuck in a continuous cycle of acceleration and braking.
Looking at the long line of cars ahead, and the vehicles around him crawling at the same snail's pace, Rong Ling's sword eyebrows twitched slightly. His slender fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel, revealing a hint of impatience. Thinking of the woman who was probably smiling brightly, enjoying her meal and drinks at this moment, his heart felt a little heavy. He didn't even need to guess that this woman wasn't telling him anything meant she was truly angry!
Suddenly, he pursed his lips, muttering to himself in bewilderment. He immediately took out his phone and started dialing her number.
He just ran over like that, catching her off guard. Wouldn't that make her suspicious that he had someone watching her!
Such an obvious mistake, he almost made it. Sure enough, when facing her, his intelligence quotient drops!
When Lin Meng received his call, it wasn't entirely unexpected. Nevertheless, she felt a twinge of guilt. After all, as his wife, leaving him behind and taking their son out for a good time wasn't exactly right. But there was a powerful presence residing in their home, and he, as always, had been keeping things from her. Naturally, she harbored resentment, and so she couldn't resist the urge to seek a little revenge.
"Little darling, have you eaten yet!" The man habitually disguised himself, his voice as usual.
Lin Mengxin was flustered, and her answer sounded hesitant.
He said again, "Let's go out for dinner today. I'm almost home, I'll pick you up, and then we'll go get Youyou!"
Lin Meng stuck out her tongue in her heart, this couldn't be concealed anymore.
"I'm outside eating, Brother Jiang invited me to dinner, Youyou is here too!"
Then, there was silence.
Lin Meng felt a little uneasy, but she wouldn't be foolish enough to explain or comfort him.
"Where!" His voice dropped an octave.
"After we finish eating, I'll take Youyou home!"
I won't tell him the address, so he can get a taste of "anxiety"!
"Where are you!" he sounded impatient. "Tell me the address, I'll come pick you up!"
The sound, as if nearing its breaking point, carried a threat. She dared not challenge his patience further and could only give him the address.
He grunted.
"Is this how you treat your husband! Huh! Your husband is out there working his tail off, and to this day, he hasn't even had a sip of water, while you're here eating and drinking nicely!"
As he spoke, he hung up the phone as if annoyed.
Lin Meng was stunned!
Rong Ling knew how to threaten people and understood Lin Meng's personality very well. He deliberately said such things, clearly intending to make Lin Meng feel bad and force her to apologize. When Lin Meng heard this, she felt a little regretful in her heart. She had really believed Rong Ling's words. Thinking that he had been busy since this afternoon until now, perhaps even too busy to take a sip of water, her heart couldn't help but ache for him. Then she blamed herself for not answering his calls at all. Besides, he had also said he would take her and Youyou out to eat!
Lin Meng bit her lip apologetically, feeling a surge of guilt. Compared to such a man, she felt truly guilty of her sins.
"Rong Ling is calling!"
Jiang Chengfeng, sitting beside her, raised an eyebrow and asked.
Lin Meng let out an "um" and put her phone away.
He said he would be here in a little while.
When Lin Meng looked up at Youyou, she saw that Jiang's mother's expression was different from before, seeming a little displeased.
Now, Lin Meng and Jiang Chengfeng are sitting in one row, while Xiao Youyou and Jiang's mother are sitting in another. This is the result of Jiang's mother insisting on it. Because she hasn't seen Xiao Youyou for several days, when she saw him, she wanted to pull him closer. She is indeed a good grandmother, taking care of Xiao Youyou meticulously. From the beginning of the meal to now, Lin Meng has seen that Jiang's mother herself hasn't had much food, but has been giving the little boy dishes.
"Daddy's coming!" The little guy swallowed his food hastily, asking excitedly.
Lin Meng looked at her son's white and tender smile, and because of Jiang Mu's sudden cold face, she was a little embarrassed. Her mood immediately returned to normal. “Well, your father said he is on his way!”
"Hehehe, that's great. When daddy comes, we can eat together. The food here is delicious, Youyou also wants daddy to try it!"
"Good!" Lin Meng's heart felt warm.
"What's he here for!" Jiang's mother retorted, displeasure evident in her voice. "After dinner, Xiaofeng will naturally send you and Youyou back. Why are you rushing over like this Do you think Xiaofeng and I won't be able to eat you and Youyou"
Lin Meng paused for a moment, looking up at her mother Jiang with a strained smile.
"I still want to stay with Youyou for a while longer, he just came…" Jiang's mother frowned and didn't say any more.
Lin Meng cherished Jiang's mother deeply from the bottom of her heart. So, when she occasionally said a few harsh words to her, Jiang's mother would bear them with an extraordinary amount of tolerance.
"Mother-in-law, please rest assured, I will definitely let Youyou spend more time with you. When Rongling comes, we won't leave so soon."
Then Jiang Mu's face was no longer so cold.
"Youyou, you wouldn't just abandon your grandma when Daddy comes here, would you!"
Mother Jiang feigned pity and looked at Xiao Youyou. The little boy shook his head and said resolutely, "No!"
Jiang Mu was overjoyed immediately, she held the little boy's face and kissed him heavily. If this had happened to anyone else, the little boy would have definitely gotten angry, but facing Jiang Mu, the little boy strangely wasn't angry at all. He obediently let her kiss him and didn't say anything. He even used his small hand to pick up some vegetables and put them on Jiang Mu's plate.
Grandma, here you go!
Jiang Mu was overjoyed. She could barely contain herself, rushing towards Xiao Youyou and showering her with praise: "Good child," "乖" (meaning obedient), "such a good child." Her affection for the little one was simply overwhelming. It seemed as if she had poured all her thoughts and attention onto this child. Lin Meng observed this scene and felt a slight ease in her heart.
To be honest, she really didn't want to ruin her relationship with Jiang's mother. She had an instinctive urge to please her, everything was just for the child she lost because of her! After becoming a mother herself, she could truly feel the pain, how heartbreaking it would be for a mother to lose such a big son, gone just like that! It's a tragedy beyond comprehension!
"He doesn't know you came here!" it was Jiang Chengfeng who asked in a low voice. As for Jiang's mother, she didn't even glance at him or Lin Meng, her entire attention was still focused on the little one.
Lin Meng blushed a little and nodded, admitting it. Since things had come to this, she couldn't lie!
Jiang Chengfeng's eyes flashed with a sudden spark, which vanished in an instant. Looking at it this way, Li Lanqiu, who had appeared suddenly, really caused discord in Lin Meng and Rong Ling's married life. Coupled with the injury on Lin Meng's finger, Jiang Chengfeng estimated that his guess was probably eight or nine out of ten.
When he first met her, he immediately noticed something unusual about her hands. Upon inquiry, she simply said that a dish had broken and she had been injured while picking it up. But he knew she was a careful person who wouldn't recklessly injure multiple fingers. So obviously, something must have happened!
"Long time no see!"
Jiang Chengfeng hummed a tune in his heart. It would be best if he could get closer to Li Lanqiu, that way, when he was done with her, it would save him a lot of trouble. That time overseas, he had been lucky. He had planned everything perfectly, but she had still managed to escape. However, his subordinates later reported that Lin Meng had stood in front of him at the time, preventing him from making a move.--
His heart ached. He was so helpless, watching the woman beside him, for the man he hated most, she was willing to sacrifice her life. And that man, after just finishing his honeymoon, allowed another woman to move into their home! He desperately wanted to hold onto the woman in his arms. Was Rong Ling, that bastard, going to treat her this way!
A mouthful of blood surged in his chest. Jiang Chengfeng raised his beer, took a large gulp, and finally suppressed the anger.
"Haven't you two done anything"
Lin Meng was startled. She didn't expect Jiang Chengfeng's observation to be so sharp.
"No...no!" she hurriedly replied. This was between her and Rong Ling, she didn't want anyone else to know.
"Really!" Jiang Chengfeng looked at her with displeasure. "Treat me like an outsider! Keep secrets from me!"
Lin Meng was very embarrassed and didn't know how to answer!
Jiang Chengfeng was also unwilling to force her, moreover, now that there was Li Lanqiu, he could slightly change his forceful methods. Because doing so would inevitably cause Lin Meng certain resentment. Instead, he might as well wait for Li Lanqiu to make a successful move, let her be disappointed with Rong Ling, and then he would follow up!
"If you have anything, feel free to ask me for help. I am the head of the Serious Crimes Unit after all, many things that might be difficult for you, would be easy for me!"
He is implying this.
Lin Meng was startled. She suspected that Jiang Chengfeng knew everything! When he said this, she was indeed moved and impulsively wanted him to help her investigate Li Lanqiu. But reason quickly stopped her from doing so!
Rong Ling had already said that once Li Lanqiu was sent away, he would tell her everything. (..tw) Then, she should believe him. If she privately went to someone to investigate, then her distrust would hurt Rong Ling!
She... can't do that yet!
She didn't answer, she still laughed as she rode the wind on the river. She turned her gaze to the dishes on the table and then awkwardly picked up her chopsticks to grab some food!
Jiang Cheng watched that beautiful and warm smile, feeling that the coldness and gloom he had always kept locked up in his heart dissipated quite a bit. He had done many things against morality, so what he needed most was her smile, like the spring breeze. Now, every time he saw her smile, he felt as if he had gained a sliver of redemption.
"You!" he said, his tone unconsciously turning fond. "Keeping all your worries bottled up inside like this, you're not afraid of suffocating yourself"
"Where...where is it!" she weakly defended, lightly biting her luscious lips.
He watched, a spark of desire igniting in his heart. He yearned to kiss her lips. But he could only dream.
He reached out and helped her put some dishes onto her plate.
"I'll come. Your hands aren't convenient, or should I help you get some food Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll get it for you!"
Lin Meng looked at her hand wrapped in a bandage, feeling a bit annoyed. At lunchtime when she ate wontons, she used a spoon, so she didn't feel anything was wrong with her hand. But now that she was using chopsticks, she could feel the clumsiness of her fingers. And as soon as she stretched out her hand, the brown-yellow patches on several of her fingertips were quite eye-catching.
She retracted her hand and smiled, thanking Jiang Chengfeng.
"It's fine, I can eat slowly. You eat first, Jiang Gege!"
This is a soft refusal.
Jiang, riding the wind, pretended not to hear and didn't respond. Instead, he continued the previous topic.
Even though you don't say anything, I can't just stand by and watch you get mistreated. So, if I need to step in, I will!
He will definitely let her know about Li Lanqiu and Rong Ling's affair. Now, he is informing her, which is a chance to start, so that the following things can be reasonable, lest she think he is secretly watching her.
"Uh!" Lin Meng just clumsily picked up the dish from the plate, but upon hearing this, he put it back down again. Then, he turned his head and looked at Jiang Chengfeng with a bewildered expression.
"Eat!" Jiang Chengfeng smiled. Then he reached out and gently touched her head.
This is so endearing!
When he smiled, he was really handsome. It was a kind of handsome that radiated masculinity, so handsome that Lin Meng could only turn her head and start eating slowly.
The delicious food in front of her looked really tempting. If Rong Ling hadn't called, she would definitely have had a big feast. But after hearing Rong Ling's complaining voice, she didn't feel like eating it anymore. She thought about waiting for Rong Ling to come over and have a good meal together.
So, she ate very slowly, but no matter how slow, there would come a time when she finished all the food on her plate. At that moment, Jiang Chengfeng always disregarded her previous "no need" and would put food onto her plate. This made her embarrassed to refuse any further, so she could only eat even slower!
As these scenes unfolded, they were witnessed not only by Yu Xu's men but also by another woman. Watching Jiang Chengfeng displaying tenderness towards Lin Meng in a way he never showed others, she let out a heavy snort. Opening the car door, she picked up her latest LV bag, and with her slender high heels, strode toward their table!
The woman was wearing Chanel's latest design, a tight white blouse and a light purple miniskirt, which made her look particularly intellectual and wealthy. Her figure wasn't bad either, with a delicate face hidden beneath shoulder-length wavy curls that exuded an indescribable charm. Her high chest, slender waist, and legs comparable to those of models on a T-stage were simply drool-worthy. People walking down the street and sitting in their private cars couldn't help but cast their gazes upon her.
The woman had long since become accustomed to such attention. Not only was she not constrained by it, but she smiled faintly, even more so, radiating her charm outwards, as if she enjoyed seeing more men captivated by her.
Numerous handsome men and beautiful women entered the venue under the banner of "One Dish, One Master," but today's beauty seemed to be of a different caliber. Like Lin Meng who had previously amazed everyone, this woman instantly caught the eye!
Such a beautiful woman, even the waiters seemed more enthusiastic. A male waiter hurried over to greet her.
The woman extended a finger.
"I'm here to find someone!"
Her voice was soft yet carried an air of regal authority. At first glance, it was clear she was more than just a wealthy heiress!
The male attendant, following the woman's gaze, still led her with unusual enthusiasm towards the inside. As they neared Jiang Chengfeng's table, Mrs. Jiang noticed the woman and her smile blossomed like a flower, becoming particularly radiant.
"Wénwén, you're here to eat too!"
Wenwen, He Wen immediately burst into a perfect smile when she saw her mother Jiang.
"Yes, what a coincidence! I was just looking for somewhere to eat nearby, and then I saw Aunt [Name] and you. Since it's better to meet unexpectedly than to make plans, I came over!"
"Well then, have a seat!"
Saying that, Jiang's mother unexpectedly scooped up little Youyou.
"YoYo, be a good girl and sit on grandma's lap!"
Here again, she greeted He Wen. "Wenwen, come sit down!"
He also called the waiter over to bring another menu.
"Wenwen, we just finished eating not long ago. Take a look at the menu and pick a few you like to add!"
"Okay!" He Wen replied generously, not even glancing at Jiang Chengfeng's somewhat displeasure at her arrival. She glanced at the menu, casually ordering four dishes!
After the waiter left, He Wen cast a curious glance at Xiao Youyou who was sitting on Jiang's lap.
"Wow, such a cute little handsome boy! Aunty, where did you get him from!"
This casual tone, if uttered by anyone else, would be considered rude and likely upset Mrs. Jiang. But coming from her, Mrs. Jiang found it perfectly acceptable, even endearing. She felt that this lack of restraint was what made their relationship so close.
"Hee hee, this isn't a brought-in one, this is my real grandson!"
"Sun Tzu!"
He Wen smiled lightly. “Mother-in-law, I had no idea Feng possessed such a grown son!”
Riding the wind, a very affectionate term!
This caused Jiang Chengfeng to furrow his brow quickly!
This woman, she's really driving me crazy. All I did was humiliate her a bit that night at the bar when she was feeling down and out. Afterwards, she didn't avoid me, nor did she use her father's power to pressure me. Instead, she keeps showing up in front of me, expressing her interest in me openly. It's like something out of a fantasy novel!
"What is this woman made of! He thought she was crazy, there's no way she could be this pathetic, right Or maybe she has a masochistic streak"
He turned cold to her many times, even spoke harshly, sometimes directly showing his disdain for her. But she seemed happier than ever, always giggling and swaying before him, then saying, “Jiang Chengfeng, you’re truly different. My interest in you is growing stronger by the day!”
Damn it!
He really cursed!
After she finished speaking, he yelled "Damn it!" at her.
But her behavior was completely unlike that of a normal woman. Instead, she batted her eyelashes and blew him a wolf whistle!
"Man enough!"
His mouth twitched!
If it weren't for the fact that she was the daughter of Director He, he could have dealt with this woman directly, making her unable to live a peaceful life. Don't think that because she is a woman, he would be reluctant to take action!
The worst part is, she's so lucky to have someone like that! He really can't afford to offend her!
This woman, time and time again, challenges his limits. He truly has the urge to lift his foot and kick her away!
You ignore her, she doesn't care at all. She just sits in front of you happily, reading, playing games, then looking at him again. He furiously calls the Chief, but that bastard hides from him. Oh, he can't afford to offend the daughter of Director He, so he lets her act more like a police officer than the actual police officers around him. Oh, is that just so Jiang Chengfeng can be offended at will!
Now that he's arrived, all eyes are on him with veiled intentions. I bet the whole place knows by now that Jiang Chengfeng is being pursued by a beautiful woman. Then there's the slew of emotionally charged advice: some envy him for catching the eye of such a wealthy woman, others urge him to just give in and take her.
So many hassles!
He decided to avoid going back home and instead went out on missions, thinking that would keep him away from her. But this woman was cunning and resourceful; she managed to intrude into his house. Now, there's only his son left at home. No matter how hard or tired he is every day, he has to climb back home. So there's nowhere to hide, he inevitably has to meet this formidable woman!
I don't know what she did, but now she has made her in-laws very happy. As the daughter of Minister He, it is impossible for her own parents not to like her. Especially her own father, who directly seized this opportunity and took her down. With Minister He joining, there is even more certainty in bringing down Rong Sanbo. Basically, the probability of success is over ninety percent. And from his father's perspective, marrying this woman would allow him to save twenty years of struggle!
Damn it!
Does he need to climb up with the help of women!
And the woman he wanted to marry was Lin Meng!
It's Lin Meng!
How much effort did he put in to get his father to agree Now it's like this, as soon as this mentally unstable woman shows up, his father's whole attitude changes. Even his mother is starting to waver!
This is outrageous!
Now, seeing his own mother's affectionate attitude toward her, he found it annoying.
"I don't have a son, but Youyou is almost like a son to me!"
Lin Meng's hand trembled, her chopsticks almost flying out of her grasp. She hurriedly tightened her grip, her face half-lowered, but her eyes were wide open in surprise.
"Ah!" He Wen immediately expressed her surprise in an exaggerated way.
"Aunt, this!"
She stared at Madam Jiang with wide eyes, looking somewhat flustered. It seemed that she had been hit hard by Jiang Chengfeng's words.
Jiang Mu is a bit calculating, to be honest. She likes Xiao Youyou and treats her like her own grandson or son, doting on her immensely. Because of Xiao Youyou and because of her eldest son's insistence, she has restrained her hatred for Lin Meng and tried her best to accept her. However, the appearance of He Wen has shaken her!
"Compared to Lin Mengyi, He Wen is like heaven and earth, a stark difference. From every angle, she'd much rather have He Wen as her daughter-in-law. Besides, this girl is truly beautiful, kind-natured, sweet-mouthed, with a clean background. Her father still holds that position of influence. She looks at the girl, scrutinizes her – everything seems perfect. If this were in the past, she would definitely be impatiently urging her son to secure this girl."
Now she only has one son left, and she really doesn't want to hurt her son's heart, so she doesn't want to intervene forcefully. But for He Wen, she has very high expectations. So, hearing Jiang Chengfeng say that, and seeing He Wen like this, Jiang's mother thought about it for a moment and immediately explained.
"Well, well, Youyou is such a lovely child. Who wouldn't want to snatch him up as their son Little Wind's future son should be just like Youyou! Mumble, I haven't introduced you yet, this is Youyou's mother, Lin Meng. As for the father, he's driving here right now!"
He Wen let out a visible sigh of relief, patted her chest in a very feminine way, then chuckled softly. She glanced at Jiang Chengfeng with eyes full of affection, and then looked at Jiang's mother with a hint of reproach.
"Riding the wind is just bad, he always comes to scare me on purpose! Aunt, you have to do something about him!"
This tone, this speech, immediately revealed that her relationship with Jiang Chengfeng was unusual!
Lin Mengben's heart was a bit flustered, but instantly calmed down. Then he smiled!
It seems she overthought it!
Brother Jiang's words were totally normal!
Hehehe, now looking at it, it seems like Big Brother Jiang is about to have some good fortune!
Thinking about it, she turned her head and looked at Jiang Chengfeng, who mischievously winked at her, then gave her an ambiguous smile!
Jian Chengfeng's face immediately fell.
He knew Lin Meng had misunderstood!
But he hated this misunderstanding!
"Why are you so scared" He said to Ge Wen, his tone a little harsh. His attitude was also cold.
Lin Meng was dumbfounded!
This is the first time I've seen Jiang Chengfeng be so rude to a woman. Because, he has always been like a big brother to her, gentle and caring!
He Wen immediately pouted her lips and tugged on Jiang Mu's arm, complaining.
"Aunt, look! I'm being chased by the wind!"
"Little Wind, don't do that!"
Jiang Mu frowned and gave Jiang Chengfeng a warning look! In front of others, she didn't want to see her son be so rude to He Wen! There was still a lot of hope between her son and He Wen, wasn't there!
Lin Meng, seeing this, also joined the ranks of those persuading her.
"Brother Jiang, you shouldn't be like that, she is a girl! You should be more gentle!"
Jiang Cheng was about to lose it!
