car's route was very regular, maintaining a certain distance. In this hurried moment, there was simply no time to form an array. They were left with no choice but to follow the original plan rigidly...."Whether or not I'm worthy, isn't it up to you to decide!" Lin Meng raised an eyebrow and looked at Rong Man arrogantly. "The matter of marriage is between me and Rong Ling. If he thinks I'm worthy, then that's all that matters! Besides—"

Lin Meng smiled gently, looked straight at Rong Man, and questioned, "I think I'm not bad myself. I can earn my own money and don't rely on him to support me. I also gave birth to his son for him, and I firmly believe that in the future marriage life, I will definitely not drag him down or cause him any burden. In this regard, I am not worse than you. In terms of appearance, I am even better! You tell me, where am I unworthy of him!"

"Since you're married, that alone disqualifies you!"

"I don't accept that, I don't think being married once makes me less valuable! You should know I came back from abroad, your feudal ideas are unacceptable to me. Getting married at most means there's one more entry in my personal file, that's it. What else You can tell me again, where am I not good enough for him!"

Rong Man was slightly surprised, because she didn't expect Lin Meng's reaction to be so agile and strong!

"This is in country Z. The saying is 'when you enter a village, follow its customs.' Our national situation is that once a woman gets married, her value drops. You can't have your own scale of values in mind; you just don't deserve him!"

“You’re a woman too, aren’t you” Lin Meng retorted to Rong Man, with a hint of mockery. “Criticizing women like this makes me wonder about your gender! Shouldn’t women stand up for each other You say such things so matter-of-factly, don’t you feel ashamed!”

A flush of embarrassment immediately crossed Rong Man's face. It was the first time she had been so unceremoniously accused by someone.

"And you're right, I have my own scale in my heart, and I understand things myself. I'm not living for others, so why should I care what they think Besides, I don't owe anyone anything, so why should I compromise my own world view to please others I'm not stupid, I won't put myself through that!"

After a pause, she smiled gently, her beautiful eyes shimmering with light, like a glimmer of dawn. "Actually, you shouldn't be trying to stop me from marrying Rong Ling; you should be persuading him instead. I'm definitely going to marry Rong Ling, no matter who tries to dissuade me. I think it would be more effective if you went to persuade Rong Ling to give up his idea of marrying me. You won't get anything out of trying to convince me!"

Rong Man would never be defeated so easily.

Since you're so insistent on marrying him, may I take it that you love him very much!

Lin Meng smiled faintly and remained silent, calm and composed.

Rong Man suddenly felt as if she was facing a giant, super-soft cotton ball. It seemed that even if she punched it with all her might, there wouldn't be a sound. But this matter, she could only rely on him, after all, he came here solely for her!

Since you love him, you should put his interests first. His current situation is very dire, marrying you would ruin his future!

“Oh!” she said, intrigued. “I’m all ears!”

Rongman was a little disheartened, feeling like she didn't want to be the bad guy. Instead, it felt like she was giving out information willingly.

Oh, she really didn't expect Lin Meng to be so difficult!

"Rong Ling has gotten into trouble recently. Dealing with the He family made him offend a lot of people, and it also made many in his clan very dissatisfied. Then, many things he did lately went wrong, and I know this is more or less related to you. His position is very unstable now, and there's an intention within the clan to force him down, but because of my father, they haven't been able to do so for now. However, if he marries you, he will definitely be removed from his post. Our Rong family can't accept someone like you as a chairperson's wife. It would be embarrassing if it got out! Once Rong Ling is removed from that position, I can tell you that you will have nothing at all, not even a single thing; and Rong Ling will also fall into ruin. All the enjoyment you received before, I can tell you clearly that you won't get a single bit of it anymore!"

"Um... " Lin Meng lightly touched her chin, looking at her in confusion. "Do I look like someone who's so vain!"

Rongman was stunned.

"Is this how I appear to you!"

Rong Man couldn't answer, she really felt that dealing with Lin Meng was a lot of pressure!

"I just told you, I have the ability to make money and support myself. Besides, my desire for enjoyment isn't that high, really. If you were sincere, you could ask people to investigate me further. I truly am not a gold-digger. The money I earn is more than enough for me! As for what you said about loving him and therefore should financially support him!"

Lin Meng's eyes flickered, and she gave a defiant smile. "Love shouldn't be this compromising, you know Just because I love her, it doesn't mean you have the right to make me compromise myself. This kind of humble love, isn't it too tiring How long can it last! I do love him, but that has nothing to do with his status. I just love that person, so I really don't want to compromise myself!"

"Is it just because you love him as a person!" Rong Man shook her head. "If Rong Ling didn't have these external conditions, his supreme status, those awe-inspiring qualities, would you still fall for him! He is the head of the Rong family, standing so high. You make him suddenly lose all of this, falling from the clouds directly to the ground, becoming an ordinary man, no different from other handsome men. Do you think he could accept it Do you think you could accept it"

I'll tell you, as long as Rong Ling sits in that position for a day, you can be your noblewoman for a day. No one dares to offend you. Even if you just open your mouth and win him over, he can buy you a small country to play with. But if he falls because of you, then anyone can step on you at that time, and you will only become an ordinary person in the world, spending every day cooking oil, salt, and rice, and having to smile and please others, depending on their faces. Even your children will only grow up like you, ordinary and struggling!

If things really got to that point, would you still be able to say so firmly that you'd follow Rong Ling! Would that kind of Rong Ling still be the one you want!

Lin Meng narrowed her eyes slightly, a thoughtful expression appearing on her face.

Ron Man smiled slightly, feeling that her momentum was rising and she could probably suppress Lin Meng.

"You're not even sure yourself, are you!" She taunted, her voice rising slightly. "A smart woman should know how to choose the best path for herself. Our Rong family's head allows himself to keep women outside the marriage. Rong Ling likes you, so he could completely hide you away like a treasure. Besides a legal wife title, which you can't get, everything else is yours for the taking. Your child could also live a life above others. As his elder sister who has watched Rong Ling grow up, I know how hard he's worked to get to where he is today, so my advice is, don't so easily ruin years of his effort and destroy his foundation. Love is love, but you can't hurt someone so much in the name of love! Rong Ling will marry and take a woman from a suitable family to solidify his position. And you, by staying with him, you won't be wronged at all. You will be happier and live a more fulfilling life than most women in this world!"

After finishing her words, Rong Man looked at Lin Meng thoughtfully. Seeing that Lin Meng didn't speak, Rong Man laughed even more, a smug look flashing in her eyes. She thought to herself, people are ultimately realistic. Money and status, laid out so clearly, then that love which can't fill your stomach naturally has to step aside!

It seems her mission should be considered complete.

"I've said my piece. Think about it carefully yourself. Lin Meng, don't be foolish enough to go against money or power. You know, in this country, without money or power, you'll live with no dignity, very lowly."

She stood up, gracefully picking up the beautiful and stylish bag. She walked out in a graceful manner, wearing five-inch heels.

"I would never be a third party in a relationship!"

Behind him came Lin Meng's resolutely firm voice.

“You said so much, I've digested some of it. But I can tell you one thing, as for being a third party, I absolutely won't do that. If Rong Ling's future conflicts with mine, then I can only say, between his future and me, he can only choose one. Moreover, as a woman, Ms. Rong, I must very seriously advise you, don't so casually tell others to be third parties or mistresses, this greatly lowers your quality and makes people look down on you deeply! I want to ask, if your husband had a mistress, would you feel it was natural and welcome her with a smile”

Rong Man suddenly turned her head and glared fiercely at Lin Meng. This time, she was really angry.

Lin Meng gave a faint smile, her vermilion lips parting as she spoke in a clear voice. "Do not unto others what you would not have them do unto you!"

Feng Man Dun was at a loss for words, she didn't know how to respond. She could only let out an angry snort and stormed off. She left in such a hurry, perhaps because she was too angry, that she even forgot about little Mumu.

Lin Meng watched her leave the ultra-luxurious ward before his face fell, he retracted his nonchalant smile, returned to his room, and sulked.

When she countered Rong Man, she seemed carefree, but could those words Rong Man said not have touched her heart at all!

Marrying her would make Rong Ling lose everything! That man who is so proud, to have him lose everything, could he accept it!

That Rong family, what kind of deviant family is it! Selecting the best based on who a man marries Is that even a selection standard! What kind of criteria are they using!

Big family!

!

Humph!

She gritted her teeth angrily!

It's really baffling!

A wealthy family!

Who cares!

She just feels sorry for Rong Ling!

Xioxiang Academy first release.

Rong Man burst into Rong Sanbo's office, panting heavily, and flung her beloved bag onto the desk. The security guard at the door kept his eyes to himself, calmly closing the door behind her and standing straight, continuing his duty.

Inside, Rong Man was so angry that she stomped her high heels furiously, swearing she would break them.

"I'm so mad, I'm so mad..." She hissed through gritted teeth, accompanied by the "tap tap tap" of her high heels. That noise was definitely not pleasant!

Rong Sanbo put down his pen and pushed the bag that was in front of him, blocking his vision, aside. He looked up at his beloved daughter and asked nonchalantly, "A disastrous start to your journey!"

Rong Man's body stiffened, and her face immediately turned sour.

"Dad, it's all your fault! You made me do this tiring and thankless job!"

She pouted and mentioned Lin Meng, feeling both irritated and annoyed. “You don’t know, that Lin Meng is quite something! That mouth of hers could almost leave me speechless. Oh well, I can’t say too much about her, otherwise, if I go overboard, how will I get along with her in the future Dad, this time it’s all your fault for giving me this task. Forget it, Dad, you better compensate me well!”

Rong Man walked up to Rong San Bo, knelt down and hugged Rong San Bo's neck, acting coquettishly.

Rong Sanbo has always doted on this daughter of his, being swayed by her somewhat helplessly.

"You haven't even reported your results, and you're here asking for things That's not reasonable!"

“The result is Lin Meng won't budge, making your daughter so angry that her heart, liver, spleen, and lungs ache. The preliminary assessment shows success, but for the final judgment, we still need you, Dad, to personally make the call!”

"Oh! How did you tell her!"

"What else is there to say!" Rong Man scoffed, giving a vague explanation.

"Look, she's amazing, isn't she Dad, I think we underestimated her!"

Rong Sanbo chuckled and gave a fair assessment: “Someone who is self-aware, and doesn’t rely on others’ faces to eat, then basically no one can get to her! When she went to the US to study finance and securities back then, it seemed that she was intelligent and had long-term vision! Being able to support her family through this shows she's even more capable!”

"Dad, you're praising her! Amazing, amazing. You actually praised someone, and it's even a woman!"

"Jealous, are you" Rong Sanbo turned to look at his daughter. Rong Man stuck out her tongue.

A pampered daughter, even after marriage, still hasn't lost her little girl mentality!

"She's better at this than you!" Rong Sanbo spoke the truth.

Ronan stared at her father, displeasure evident in her eyes. "Dad, is that how you belittle your own daughter!"

When they met, San Bo did not express anything, his face remained unchanged. Rong Man laughed in amusement.

“Fine, fine, I admit it, she’s better than me in this one area, but there are other things where I'm definitely stronger!”

Even though Rong Sanbo's daughter was raised with the utmost care, how could she possibly be inferior to others She is graceful and confident, knowledgeable about social decorum and possesses clear judgment. These qualities alone surpass many women from prominent families!

"Dad, I think what I said today had some impact on her! Otherwise, she shouldn't have been thinking so hard!"

Rong Sanbo shook his head slightly, "You haven't quite finished this matter. Before you leave, if you could add one more sentence, saying that I will help and won't let her marry Rong Ling, then the effect would be much stronger!"

After a heart-stirring moment, the final attack can be even more effective!

"I'm so embarrassed... Well, I was really upset by what Lin Meng said at the end. Seriously, after she said all that, I felt so ashamed of myself. Encouraging her to be a third wheel Ugh, I hate it! I can't believe I actually said those things to her!"

"Dad—" Rong Man fiercely hugged Rong Sanbo, clinging to him tightly. She tugged at him stubbornly. "This time, my daughter has done you a favor but it cost me dearly. I've suffered great harm! You must compensate me well!"

"Okay, okay..." Rong Sanbo helplessly replied.

Ruman smiled, feeling a little lighter in her heart.

"Dad, maybe when I go back to pick up Mumu, I can say something to Lin Meng. Tell her that you'll be taking care of this yourself and she should watch out. What do you think"

"You abandoned Mumu!" Rong Sanbo raised an eyebrow. "Be careful, if you provoke her like this, she might turn around and mistreat your daughter!"

"That's impossible!" Rong Man laughed openly. "She's not that kind of person! Rong Ling has such a discerning eye for women, he wouldn't choose someone this mediocre!"

Then you're a failure as a mother, how could you abandon Mumu!

Ruman smiled slyly. "I'm not playing the villain permanently, am I Can't just cut ties so abruptly either. Gotta keep things oiled with a little kid in the middle, right"

"You're full of tricks!"

Rong Man smiled again, a hint of smugness in her expression. However, after the smile faded, she felt a twinge of uncertainty.

"Dad, you said, after all this commotion, will Lin Meng not want to see me anymore!"

After all, what she said back then was pretty hurtful! Anyone would feel offended!

Rong Sanbo didn't answer, settled down, and looked at his file again.

"Dad, you said so, you did!..." Rong Man struggled to get a response out of Rong Sanbo.

Rong Sanbo scribbled a few words on the file, then said in a soft voice, "No! People reveal themselves over time. She'll know what you're really like if you spend enough time together!"

"Dad—" Rong Man drew out her voice, rolling her eyes. "You're so dismissive!"

Rong Sanbo didn't respond!

Rong Man looked at her father who was calmly seated there, flipping through files as if nothing could faze him, not even Mount Tai collapsing. She thought for a moment, suppressing the smirk that threatened to appear on her face, and muttered nonchalantly.

"Actually, I don't really care. If Lin Meng doesn't like me, then so be it. I'm just afraid that Youyou won't like Mumu either, and won't like you either. You know, that little guy, he protects his mother!"

Rong Sanbo was stunned for a moment.

Rong Man giggled, took her bag, and walked away lightly. She went to find her husband to act cute, complain, and get comfort!

Leave the rest to her dad. She believes that with her father's wisdom, he will definitely arrange everything perfectly!

That little A-you, that's just his father's Achilles heel!

She saw it coming a long time ago!

She was looking forward to the moment when her father and Lin Meng would be pitted against each other!

That's a good show, she definitely has to find a spot to watch it well!st her, a tingling sensation spread wherever it touched. It was so intense that her entire body went soft, as if she had lost control. Even her breath seemed to belong to someone else, shallow and une...
