Ron Ling still came

imes before he does. This time is no exception!Just now, she let him torment her like that, now that she's free, it's her turn to make him pay.Seizing the opportunity, she kicked him hard in the leg....When Lin Bao heard the news, he was busy with important matters and couldn't leave, so he told Mrs. Lin to come over first to look after Lin Meng.

Lin Dong also came at that time. In front of Mother Lin and Miao Qing, he very naturally asked the two to leave the ward, saying that he wanted to talk to Lin Meng.

Mrs. Lin, accustomed to indulging her son, readily agreed without hesitation and left the ward. Miao Qing, as an outsider, couldn't go against Lin Dong, a member of the family, so she followed suit.

Lin Dong didn't pay attention to the patient in the next bed. To him, that person was an irrelevant stranger, not worth guarding against. He looked at Lin Meng and let out a cold snort.

"Mengmeng, let's just forget about the past. Understand what I mean"

His tone was threatening, Lin Meng felt both angry and afraid, her face turned pale.

Lin Dong snorted. "I'm not afraid of you telling about last night, but Mengmeng, you need to think this through carefully. Do you think your parents would believe me or you"

Lin Mengxin was greatly shaken, her eyes fixed on Lin Dong's gray trousers. In an instant, she felt a sense of loss. Of course, her parents would believe her brother. Since childhood, she had been the easily overlooked one. She had bravely complained several times when wronged, but what awaited her was scolding from her parents, triumphant smiles from her older siblings, and even more intense retaliation from Lin Dong and Lin Xia once she reported them! Under such circumstances, her desire to complain faded. Whenever she suffered a loss, she would swallow it silently. This time, without any evidence, how could it be any different!

Lin Meng lowered her eyes gently, for a moment, her mouth and heart were filled with bitterness!

Lintong's face immediately lit up with a smile.

"Mengmeng, I won't say much. We'll still be like we used to be from now on. But I have to warn you, if you aren't kind, then this older brother of yours can only be unkind as well!" Lin Dong had been around for many years in society and knew plenty of ways to twist things, leaving Lin Meng speechless.

Lin Meng helplessly nodded in agreement.

Lin Dong had practically watched Lin Meng grow up, so he knew her personality well. He figured his threat must have worked, so he didn't stay long and made an excuse to leave. Lin Dong wasn't afraid at all; even if this got exposed, it would be Lin Meng who suffered the consequences. As the only son of the Lin family, what could Lin Bao really do to him! Besides, with just a few words from Lin Meng, she couldn't possibly match Lin Dong's smooth talking and ability to spin tales!

Both parties knew this, so the matter of being insulted could only be dropped. Lin Meng only hoped, as Lin Dong said, that it would just pass like this, and they would do whatever they were supposed to do in the future! She was also grateful that she could hide in the hospital for a few days because of her illness, avoiding facing Lin Dong alone. Lin Meng felt that her mind was in a mess right now, she needed to think things through properly.

Time, every minute and second passing by, the last sliver of white on the horizon was gradually engulfed by darkness. Lin Meng had expectations in her heart, anticipating Rong Ling's arrival, but this anticipation, like the temperature of a meal eventually cooling down, slowly faded away.

What are you expecting! Lin Meng bitterly mocked himself in his heart. Does he think he's not humiliated enough Does he still want that transactional, week-long arrangement to continue! Idiot, how can you be so foolish, isn't it good to go down the right path! So don't think about it, okay, just don't think about it...

He told Miaoqing to come take care of her, but it was only out of the continuation of their previous deal. He didn't want to give back a sickly daughter to their neighbors; that was just for his own face!

Lin Meng wasn't a foolish girl. She might get momentarily lost in infatuation and have her head spinning, but once she regained her composure, she would become very clear-headed. After carefully going over everything that had happened, the turbulent emotions within her gradually calmed down, leaving no room for any expectations!

On one side, Xia Zhen's friends were very lively, unlike Lin Meng's silence. They were as vibrant and individualistic as those energetic college students. They whispered jokes amongst themselves, occasionally bursting into laughter. The four of them had formed a team, even starting to play poker. Lin Meng lazily leaned against the bed, watching them play, finding it quite entertaining. There was no TV or books in the hospital, so this was their only entertainment.

Suddenly, a woman's voice called out softly.

"So handsome --"

This kind of call, which was once only seen in books, is now coming from the mouths of female college students, and it's quite loud. It can only be said that today's college students are more daring and have stronger mental qualities!

Lin Meng, like any other curious person, tilted her head and looked up.

Then, amidst two startled gasps, she opened her mouth in astonishment. Staring blankly at the imposing figure striding towards her, her mind went completely blank in an instant, and the composure she had painstakingly cultivated vanished like smoke!

What does it mean when expectations are high, only to be met with disappointment! She had secretly hoped, but he didn't come. When she self-deprecatingly stopped expecting anything, he unexpectedly appeared. Could it be that fate just loves to toy with people!

Several female college students' squealing and shrieking caused Rong Ling, who was entering the ward, to faintly frown. He felt some aversion to this commotion in the hospital ward. His icy gaze swept across them, his cold eyes made the girls' hearts pound wildly. They lowered their heads bashfully and nervously, thinking to themselves, "This handsome guy has such powerful eyes, it's intimidating!"

Inside, everything fell silent. Even the poker players stopped their hands and sat there mumbling.

Some people are born as bright spots; some people are born to be revered; some people, without a single word, just one look, and sometimes even without looking, the mere presence of them standing there can make you feel an invisible pressure. Then, even if they are the most playful, they have to stand up straight and do whatever is asked.

Ruling by cruelty, that's the kind of person they are!

He just has that ability, to silence the entire room with his presence. It's amazing!

This silence, strangely, persisted for several seconds!

Then it was broken by Lin Bao!

When Lin Bao saw Rong Ling really coming, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he eagerly walked towards Rong Ling with a blushing face. To be honest, Lin Bao had only seen Rong Ling once, on the night when he sent Lin Meng away. After that, he never had the chance to see her again. Lin Bao received some business thanks to Rong Ling's favor, but it was Rong Ling's subordinates who dealt with him.

As for Rong Ling, Lin Bao held absolute awe. In Lin Bao's heart, he had already elevated Rong Ling to the same level as the mayor of J city. This - was still under the circumstances that Lin Bao hadn't been able to fully understand Rong Ling's family background.

"Mr. Rong, how did you get here!" Lin Bao was being polite, his smile stretching ear to ear. As Xi Lan had said, not everyone could call Rong Ling "Rong Shao." Someone like Lin Bao, a man of his status, could only address him as "Mr. Rong."

Rong Lingchong nodded slightly.

Lin Bao immediately took the stool from under his own buttocks and walked towards Rong Ling. "General Rong, esteemed guest, esteemed guest! Come, please sit down quickly!"

He eagerly moved the stool to Lin Meng's bedside and pointed at it, gesturing for Rong Ling to sit down.

Rong Ling replied him faintly, "Don't be so polite."

He didn't sit down, and walked towards Lin Meng by himself. He stopped at the side of her bed.

A tall, handsome man in a casual short-sleeved shirt with a silver-gray collar and matching casual pants. He exudes an extraordinary nobility, resembling the dignity of royalty. This kind of person, no matter what he wears, commands respect and appears dignified simply by his presence.

He lowered his head, long eyebrows casting shadows over two pools of darkness that gazed at her silently, as if trying to draw her very soul into them. Lin Meng trembled slightly, unaware why she was shaking!

This man's aura was too powerful, his influence too profound. Just by gazing at him, Lin Meng felt like she couldn't breathe. Then a faint sourness arose from her chest, slowly rising to the tip of her nose.

"Are you feeling better" he asked softly, his voice magnetic, like sun-baked pebbles gently colliding.

Lin Meng's heart beat erratically for a moment before she managed to find her voice again.

"Good!"

Then, I was startled to find that my voice was unusually hoarse! I couldn't help but feel annoyed, thinking to myself how embarrassing this was.

Rong Ling reached out and gently touched her forehead with his palm. Lin Meng gasped in surprise, her complexion, which wasn't very flushed, turned red as if she had drunk wine. Though seemingly unintentional, it was captivatingly alluring!

Rong Ling slowly narrowed her eyes, her heart, as if being gently teased by an invisible hand!as Jiang Pohai’s brother, the brother she admired, so in some ways, she also yearned for his recognition and blessing.Jiang Cheng drank a sip of wine before his meal, lowering his eyes. A cold glint f...
