Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole (2)
r, Lin Meng smiled faintly. All the shock, fear, helplessness, melancholy, sorrow, resentment, and sighs vanished! She was no longer the Lin Meng of four years ago. What did this old man's glory have...Now, let's just settle it like this. (..tw good-looking novels) Before dealing with that old woman Du Caixin, let Mengmeng learn from her aunt first, just as a game. By agreeing at the start, we also avoid having Aunt and others come to our door repeatedly. The Rong family is a bit stubborn; once they make up their minds, it's impossible to change them. If we don't agree, they'll definitely find a way to get Mengmeng to agree. It's better to agree first and let them feel that we are sincere. After settling with Du Caixin, he will naturally resolve this matter as well, and their requests will naturally cease.
He would tell Mengmeng about these things later. They were dirty things, he should handle them, and not taint his woman.
As for the excuse of having something to do until Monday, he was going to see Rong Hengduo. Since he had brought this child into his home, he couldn't have spent the effort and then ended up raising a white-eyed wolf. Rong Ling wasn't some great benefactor; he just did things with no expectation of return. Loyalty is something that needs to be cultivated. With Du Caiyi interfering, the child's loyalty would undoubtedly be affected, making him more likely to cause trouble. It was necessary to prepare for the future and nip things in the bud. Besides, this child had been around for some time now. He could take this opportunity to see if he truly had the aptitude.
As Rong Ling watched his aunt and the others' car drive away, he closed the gate behind them, turned around.
"Daddy, are mommy and daddy really going to be aunt and uncle" Xiao Youyou asked, it seemed like he had been holding it in for a long time.
Ron Ling and Lin Meng walked over together to take a look.
"Youyou, don't you like Mommy being your aunt" Lin Meng frowned slightly.
The little guy pouted. "I think it'll be very hard!"
"Once you get used to it, it's not a big deal. I don't think there are too many things to worry about."
"Who knows, maybe there will be a lot of things to do, maybe I'll be very busy!"
Lin Meng smiled wryly. Such childish behavior from the little guy.
"Youyou wants Mommy to stay at home, that way Youyou can see Mommy anytime."
Lin Meng crouched down and gently touched the little guy's head. "Mommy can work at home, you can see Mommy too. Besides, Youyou is going to school, and you have to learn martial arts, Haohuo does too, and your father has to go to work. Then if all of you leave, there will only be Mommy left at home. Mommy would feel lonely too. With this job, Mommy can also go out and make some new friends."
The little guy froze, silent for a long while, before finally stammering out something.
"Actually, Youyou is afraid that Mommy will be bullied. The people in the tribe were very bad before!"
Lin Meng's heart felt warm, but she still advised him. "As you said yourself, it was in the past. Things are different now. Besides, is Mom so easy to bully Mom can write and fight! Anyone who tries to bully Mom will definitely get what they deserve!"
The little one's face brightened up a lot after hearing that.
"Okay, then Youyou won't stop Mommy. And, Youyou, Haohuo, and Daddy will help Mommy and protect Mommy!"
Although he said that, his last sentence still revealed the little fellow's worried and cautious attitude. Heh heh, truly a small person with a big heart.
Lin Meng hugged the little guy and rubbed him all over!
Rong Ling's eyes flickered, her heart beating slightly faster.
When Rong Hengduo came over in the evening, Rong Ling asked him a question.
"Duo Duo, you've been learning here for a while now, haven't you!"
Rong Hengduo was stunned for a moment, not knowing what his uncle meant by this. Had he done something wrong Or... or was his uncle also planning to assign him a task But, it seemed a bit early, didn't it He had only been following along for a while, definitely not a long time. Or, was there really something wrong with him He felt uneasy and frightened inside, but he could only try his best to appear calm as he replied.
"Well, it has been a while!"
Rong Ling nodded and fell silent.
Rong Hengduo looked at the man who seemed as immovable as a mountain, his heart growing increasingly agitated. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't help but slip into negativity, and finally, his nervousness made him sweat slightly on his back.
His palms were stiff from restraining himself from clenching his fingers to avoid revealing his inner turmoil.
Finally, in this suffocating silence, Rong Ling spoke again.
"Today there's good news at home, your aunt has become the new head of her department. This announcement was supposed to be made next Monday, but..."
He paused, looked deeply at Rong Hentuo for several seconds, didn't finish his words, but went on to say, "This matter, for now, only our family knows. I told you this now, don't spread it!"
Rong Hengtuo was immediately overjoyed. He understood what came after the word "but". His behavior over this period had been recognized by his uncle and aunt, hadn't it That was why his uncle told him about this thing that only their family knew. His uncle was treating him like a member of the family, wasn't he
Rung Heng's eyes sparkled with joy, and his face instantly flushed red with excitement.
"Uncle, you can rest assured that I definitely won't tell anyone about this."
This is Uncle's affirmation of him!
He will definitely not disappoint his uncle's affirmation and expectations!
Rong Ling nodded once and began the lesson. After tonight's class ended, Rong Hengduo sat in the car, repeatedly ruminating over Rong Ling's words, and chewing out another layer of meaning. Perhaps, this was also Uncle's test of him, to see if he had the perseverance to keep his mouth shut.
Anyway, whether it was a confirmation or a test, he would resolutely complete the mission. However, he didn't expect that he would face the challenge so soon. After returning home that night, Du Caiyi didn't ask him what he had learned, but asked him directly.
"Auntie went to Rong Ling's house today, did you hear anything"
It's alright, he had already braced himself mentally. He wouldn't say anything to anyone who asked, so he could only shake his head.
"This matter is no small thing, Dodo. Whatever you know, tell grandma at once!"
Du Caoyi glared at him sternly. You see, she was extremely anxious inside. She learned from others that today, her aunt and Rong Qi and others went out together by car. Later, after lunchtime, they returned together by car. Rong Qi and his group, huddled together, could only go to Rong Ling's place. She inquired about it and confirmed that Rong Qi and the others were indeed doing so. Then, her aunt also went to Rong Ling's place. Her aunt has always lived a secluded life. What did she go to Rong Ling's place for What kind of matter would require her aunt to make the trip herself!
She heard that Rong Qi and his people had been secretly discussing ways to keep Rong Ling, which made her suspect her aunt. Her aunt had just recovered from her illness and was already making such a big move, it was too suspicious. She even thought of the worst outcome, that her aunt had found Lin Meng and asked her to be her successor!
Absolutely not!
With her, without her!
This aunt's position is hers for the taking, she won't allow it to fall into anyone else's hands, let alone Lin Meng's. It's just a shame that Rong Qi and the others are too tight-lipped, unable to pry anything out of them. As for the aunt herself, she has been consciously approaching her aunt, getting close to her, showing concern and care. But when it comes to asking about the next successor, she just can't bring herself to ask. Because that question is hurtful, and it would make all her closeness with her aunt appear premeditated. If she asked, it would easily give the impression that she doesn't trust her aunt's health, thinks she's dying soon, or even implies that she should step down. In short, asking would only damage her position in her aunt's heart.
She couldn't even ask, and if she did, she wouldn't get an answer. It was driving her crazy. So, she could only look to Rong Hengduo. He had been with Rong Ling for so long; with his intelligence, it should have been easy for him to pick up on some clues. But the little rascal was infuriatingly unhelpful and just said he didn't know. Du Caiyi had no choice but to give him a hint.
"Auntie went to Rongling's house today, don't you know anything about it Auntie went with your great-grandfather and stayed there for a long time, haven't you heard"
Yong Hengduo lowered his eyes and replied coldly, "Grandma, I only went to Uncle's place to study. I studied in the study for two hours. After I finished, I came back. Besides studying, I don't know anything else."
“I see you’re getting dumber the more you learn, you’re almost becoming an idiot.” Du Caiyi couldn’t help but reprimand sharply. “With your abilities, how can you expect to become capable in the future You don’t even have the basic skills of reading between the lines or noticing subtle clues and analyzing things yourself. With this kind of rote learning, how much can you achieve”
Rong Heng stood silently, only refuting in his heart. If he really became like grandma, wouldn't he be like a spy or secret agent He went there with ulterior motives, probing this and that. Just wait, in a few days, Uncle would definitely kick him out. Who did Grandma think Uncle was! How could he have learned it from the dead He wasn't brainless, he was using his head. He knew what he should know, but dealing with people requires measure!
He suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Could his uncle have foreseen this when he told him about it today Or, could it be that his uncle knew about the daily questioning by his grandmother after he finished his studies and returned home
He trembled slightly for a moment, because he would never forget his uncle's unfathomable depth!
Uncle, you probably know everything!
This time, it might really be a test!
You can't say anything!
Du Caiyi saw that he remained silent, so her voice rose several tones, laced with anger. "Did you even hear what I just said to you"
Rong Hengduo now raised his eyes completely, looking at her coldly and clearly.
"Grandma, is there anything else"
Du Caoyi immediately narrowed her eyes.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back now. I'm a bit tired today and want to go to sleep early!"
He was called to Du Caiyi's room alone after watching Rong Fei Wu.
Du Caiyi's face turned cold. Since there were only the two of them in the room, she didn't care about her manners.
"Is this how you talk to your grandmother"
Ronger's heart was troubled, his brow furrowed, then quickly relaxed again.
"Grandma, you say, I listen!"
Well, it's just a matter of listening to her chatter.g their mouths as if they were about to say something. Rong Ling, however, gave a faint smile. It was just this smile that made them shut up. Because their boss had always been cold and aloof, rarely...
