, she still decided to listen to Gao Xi and go back to her room.As she walked back along the same path, her pace was leisurely and her spirits lifted considerably. All this little woman needed was a b...Chapter Name: 079

"Rónglíng!"

Lin Meng let out a low gasp, her heart pounding. She scrambled to her feet. (..tw)Because she was too flustered, all her actions were impulsive and unthought-out. She stood up abruptly, the sudden movement causing the pearl milk tea she had been clutching in her hand to shake violently, splattering milk liquid everywhere. The warm sensation made Lin Meng's already trembling hands even more unsteady. She lost her grip, and the cup teetered before falling to the table with a thud. The cup landed, sending the milk tea flying. Thankfully, it only splashed onto Lin Meng, leaving a few patches of light brown milk stains on her waistline. On the table, the light brown milk liquid slowly began to spread.

Lin Meng let out a soft cry of "ah" and quickly reached out to steady the teacup. Then, flustered, she reached out and pressed her hand against the table surface, trying to stop the slow-spreading milk from sliding onto the floor.

It all happened in a flash, so fast that the three men present didn't even have time to react properly. Seeing Lin Meng there, flustered and scrambling around, the three men simultaneously frowned.

"Enough!" Jiang Chengfeng said lightly, reaching out and grabbing Lin Meng's hand, pulling her up. Although he was helping, this direct action of grabbing her hand was too intimate, especially with Rong Ling present! Rong Ling narrowed his eyes, a gloominess appearing in them, and inside, he felt anger at being disrespected!

Lin Meng retracted her hand somewhat flustered. The man's large palm was different from a woman's, feeling broader and thicker, which made her heart skip a beat.

Jiang Cheng wind naturally retracted his hand and pressed the bell on the table. The waiter quickly came over with a tray, saying softly, “Sir, Miss, what can I do for you!”

"Could you please tidy up this table"

The female attendant nodded, very thoughtfully changing seats for these few people.

Lin Meng seized this opportunity and immediately requested to use the restroom. She deliberately held her hands high, displaying them before the three men. Her fair hands, covered with a light brown liquid, were indeed unsightly. As a result, Jiang Po浪 and Jiang Chéngfēng nodded in agreement. Rong Ling sat down abruptly, his expression devoid of emotion as he barked, "Go quickly and return swiftly!"

Lin Meng quickly nodded and, taking small steps, hurried into the bathroom.

Jiang Chēngfēng and Jiang Bòlàng sat down accordingly, the two brothers facing Rong Líng.

Rong Lingji sneered, raising an eyebrow as she looked at Jiang Chengfeng without any politeness, "Didn't you say you wanted to have a talk with me If you have something to say, just say it!"

Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes, regarding Rong Ling -- he shouldn't have come at this time. To put it another way, his arrival was too incredibly coincidental! So, disregarding that ridiculous coincidence, there was only one possibility: he had someone following him!

No, no. He and Rong Ling had no grievances in the past or present. It's impossible for him to send someone to specifically follow him. Then, the person he might have people follow is... it can only be her!

"You had people following her!" Jiang Chengfeng narrowed his eyes abruptly, glaring menacingly at Rong Ling. For Rong Ling's distrust, for Rong Ling using such methods on that girl!

Rong Ling let out a cold laugh. "She's my woman, I have people secretly protecting her, is there anything wrong with that! On the contrary, you, as a judge, a high-ranking judicial official, are thinking about seducing another man's woman. Don't you find such behavior disgraceful!"

Jiang Chengfeng suddenly sank his face. He knew Rong Ling was a tough nut to crack. It seemed that besides having a good business sense, he was also very eloquent. He thought for a moment, relaxed his limbs, leaned lazily on the sofa, looked at Rong Ling, and smiled. "Shameful How could it be shameful As a judicial officer, I naturally have the duty to guide wayward girls back to the right path. It's you, Rong Ling, as the president of the prestigious Yaodong Group, a prominent figure, who openly keeps a minor girl. If this gets out, wouldn't people laugh their teeth out Your huge Yaodong Group, are you still going to keep your face!"

"Threatening me" Rong Ling raised an eyebrow. His long, black eyebrows were as dark as ink, sharp as if forged after a thousand hammerings. "Jiang Chengfeng, do you think I'm scared If I dare to play like this, I naturally won't be afraid of someone playing tricks behind my back. Or are you, this high-ranking judge, planning to be the first person to play dirty"

Jiang Cheng laughed, his smile growing wider and brighter with each passing moment, yet it held a chilling coldness. "What's wrong with that!" he challenged Rong Ling directly.

Rong Ling suddenly smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth that were somewhat frightening, like a beast thirsting for blood and flesh.

"Then, I'll be waiting!" He didn't mind having one more opponent! The more people there were, the messier things got, and the more fun it was! However, the price the other side needed to pay had to be higher as well!

Jiang Cheng followed with a smile, but the fist at his side clenched slowly. To be honest, he didn't like being overpowered. And Rong Ling was the one who always gave him that feeling. The man before him seemed to not consider anyone else. So arrogant and confident, did he really think the world revolved around him!

"I think you'd better not be too confident," Jiang Chengfeng sarcastically said.

Rong Ling didn't respond, just raised an eyebrow slightly. Her sharp eyes were fixed on the direction behind Jiang Chengfeng. Behind him, Lin Meng walked slowly, her face pale.

She really didn't want to get close to the three men. She had said that Rong Ling when angry, would be terrifying. She knew Rong Ling was angry, so she didn't want to directly bear his wrath. She longed to stay in the restroom forever. But Rong Ling clearly saw through her little schemes. Before she left, he even warned her to hurry up and come back. She lingered in the restroom for a while. Thinking of Rong Ling's cold eyes falling on her when she indicated she was leaving, her heart pounded with fear and coldness. She could only grit her teeth and face it.

Looking from afar, the three of them sat separately. She could also see Rong Ling's lips moving, as if saying something. There was no fighting, which let her breathe a sigh of relief; she was terrified to see Rong Ling and Xiao Yi clashing again. But upon closer inspection, Rong Ling's indifferent, neither happy nor angry, neither dark nor bright expression made her heart sink. Her temples tightened, aching because the situation was still dire!

"Sit!"

Rong Ling glanced at the seat beside him and beckoned to Lin Meng to sit down. Jiang Po Lang turned his head, just about to call Lin Meng to sit beside him, but upon hearing this, he could only reluctantly turn his head back.

Lin Meng bit her lip and sat down beside Rong Ling. Before she could even settle, Rong Ling suddenly turned to face her, grabbing her arm with one hand and lifting her chin with the other. He leaned in and fiercely kissed her lips. Their lips met, like a starving beast finally finding its long-sought prey. He devoured her relentlessly, sucking and biting with wild abandon.

The series of movements was so fluent and smooth, like flowing water. It seemed as if they had been practiced thousands of times.

"Ugh..." Lin Meng's eyes widened suddenly, staring blankly at the face growing larger before her. She hadn't reacted yet, he... what was he trying to do!

There, Jiang Po-lang suddenly stood up, and Jiang Chengfeng also tensed his body. Jiang Po-lang reached out to grab Rong Ling, but was stopped by Jiang Chengfeng grabbing his arm. Jiang Chengfeng held onto Jiang Po-lang's arm tightly, preventing him from swinging it out. His cold voice came out almost word for word, squeezed out from between his teeth, with a hint of gritted teeth.

"Sit down!"

“But――” Jiang Po-lang’s breath was a little quick, his eyes wide, staring at Rong Ling, wishing he could just fly him away. His legs were slightly bent, ready to fight, his other hand twitching, preparing to pounce and beat Rong Ling up――this damned man who did whatever he wanted. But, Jiang Chengfeng tightened his grip, his voice colder and deeper.

“Sit down!” he growled, his voice tight as a bowstring about to snap. He didn’t often let his emotions show, always maintaining a smiling face and effortlessly deflecting all attacks with an air of casual indifference. The fact that he was displaying such anger now meant he’d been pushed too far, clearly enraged beyond measure!

Jiang Po-lang was a little afraid of this older brother. He snorted angrily and sat down heavily.

Lin Meng was stunned by Rong Ling's sudden attack, forced to follow his steps and become intimate. Rong Ling's kiss was like a storm, urgent and swift. Lin Meng felt his tongue numb and painful, his head dizzy, his body naturally heating up and becoming wild. But all this shouldn't be happening in this place!

She was about to protest and push Rong Ling away, but Rong Ling suddenly let go of her, turned his head, and looked at Jiang Chengfeng arrogantly and condescendingly.

"Are you going to use this to attack me, are you!"

His eyes were cold, devoid of any warmth, and he hadn't fallen for it at all. Jiang Chengfeng looked at Rong Ling's frigid gaze, a surge of immense anger rising in his heart. Very good, this Rong Ling was deliberately showing off and provoking him.

"Kidnapping a minor girl, this crime, although it can be big or small, but rest assured, General Rong, I will definitely let my brothers treat you well!"

"Hee hee..." Rong Ling chuckled softly. "Do you think the police station is your house! Even if it were your father, he wouldn't dare speak to me like that. Besides, everything needs evidence, and we also need to ask the victim's opinion! Lin Meng!"

He turned his head, pinching Lin Meng's chin with his big hand and taking a loving bite on her lips, making the swollen lip even more vibrant red. He asked, "Are you going to sue me!"

Lin Meng's small face, flushed from the sudden kiss just now. Anyone with eyes could see the blush on her face, brought on by Rong Ling's actions. Rong Ling pinched her delicate face, deliberately making Lin Meng face the Jiang brothers, the mockery in his action was already quite obvious.

Lin Mengyi met the complex gazes of the Jiang brothers and shamefully closed her eyes. Being kissed by Rong Ling in front of these two made her feel ashamed, and she had no face to see anyone. Especially, not long ago, these two brothers were still helping her leave Rong Ling, and she had vaguely expressed her own intentions.

Now, all the sand tables are overturned and start anew. What's truly hard for Lin Meng is that with such a self, what face will she have to meet these two brothers who sincerely want to help her in the future!

It's impossible! How could she possibly sue him!

He shook his head, and Lin Meng forcefully pulled away Rong Ling's hand that was holding her chin. She lowered her head in embarrassment, not daring or having the face to look at the Jiang brothers again. She mumbled softly; "Thank you, but... my business, just forget it!"

Previous conversations, it seems, can only become a farce.

"I'm sorry!" she whispered, it was the only thing she could say anymore.

Jiang Po Lang widened his eyes, looking at Lin Meng, his face full of disappointment.

"You...how could you be like this! This concerns your entire future, how can you so easily compromise You...you...tell me, was it Rong Ling that scoundrel blackmailing you!"

Jiang Po Lang let out a furious roar!

Lin Meng shook her head.

Rong Ling looked at Jiang Po Lang with cold eyes, his jaw clenched, anger welling up inside him. The audacity of that boy to say he "blackmailed" Lin Meng! He was truly bold!

“You can eat whatever you want, but don't talk nonsense!” Rong Ling’s voice was cold to the extreme, his eyes had turned into a darkness without a trace of light. “My woman belongs to me inside and out. Don't you think it's ridiculous and naive for you to expect her to betray me! You young man, stay in school obediently and don't go around thinking about things you shouldn't.”

Implied, too sharp!

Jiang Po-lang was both angry and annoyed. His handsome face flushed slightly, and instinctively, he sensed that the man in front of him had probably noticed his feelings for Lin Meng. What annoyed him even more was that compared to him, this man was tall, mature, arrogant, and confident. The aura he exuded, cultivated by time and experience, was simply something a young man still stuck in school like him couldn't compare to. Jiang Po-lang even felt that Rong Ling, facing his always admired older brother, was already subtly gaining the upper hand!

He is such a despicable man!

Jiang Po Lang fumed silently in his heart, his brows furrowed tightly. Because, no one wants to admit they are worse than others, especially men!

Jiang Po-lang was furious. He kicked the table leg with all his might, actually managing to nudge the heavy table slightly. Lin Meng was startled. She abruptly raised her head and looked at Jiang Po-lang. Her innocent eyes saw his sullen face, a mixture of helplessness, frustration, and suppressed anger!

Lin Meng's heart was suddenly pierced by something, a sharp, stinging pain. She felt it was her fault!

Her current actions seem to be those of a creature that is both despicable and shameful, even to herself!

My heart is filled with a chilling sadness.

She took a deep breath, letting it out suddenly. She straightened her back and her neck, placing her small hand on the table. In fact, ever since Rong Ling appeared, she had been afraid, her small hand trembling from time to time. Now she thought, if she placed her hand openly on the table, then under the gaze of so many eyes, she should not be seen as shamefully shaking, and the fear in her heart should subside a bit.

She turned her head and slowly curled the corners of her lips into a smile. Facing Shang Rong's cold and gloomy eyes, it took her an unknown amount of courage to do so.

"Rong Ling, don't speak to A-Lang like that. This... actually from beginning to end, it was all my fault. A-Lang and Jiang Ge are not involved!"

At this moment, her speech was unusually clear and pure, like a spring striking against a boulder.

Rong Ling narrowed his eyes, surprised by Lin Meng's reaction at this moment. He thought that this girl, whose nature seemed weak, er... at least from appearances, should be the kind of weak girl who would be silent from beginning to end after he challenged her, acting like an ostrich, but --

She... seemed to have surprised him again!

“This was my fault. I was being foolish. Ah Lang and Brother Jiang meant well, suggesting that idea because...because they saw my hesitation, my wavering thoughts. As friends, Ah Lang and Brother Jiang want me to have a better life, so maybe their methods were a bit extreme. But Rong Ling, you have to believe me, I would never sue you. Ah Lang...and Brother Jiang, they wouldn't do that either!”

"Right!" Lin Meng turned her head, looking at Jiang Po浪 and Jiang Chengfeng, still smiling. But that smile, no matter how you looked at it, made the Jiang brothers feel heartache. And besides, the silent plea in Lin Meng's eyes was too heartbreaking for the Jiang brothers. These two brothers were definitely not idiots; they knew exactly what Lin Meng meant by saying this – she was taking the blame for them. She… didn't want the two of them to offend Rong Ling, did she! This silly girl, was she trying to take the blame for them in this way! Silly girl, silly girl, how could she be so foolish Did she really think they couldn't move against Rong Ling!

> maybe--

Jiang Cheng lowered his eyes, the dark eyelashes covering the flicker of gloom in them. However, Lin Meng didn't want to press charges against Rong Ling. They truly couldn't do anything to him! In such a case, the most important things were the victim's statement and attitude.

Lin Meng might have said that for many reasons, but Jiang Chengfeng probably guessed that one of the reasons must be— Lin Meng cared about Rong Ling. Because she cared about him, she could say something like, "Rong Ling, you have to believe me, I will never sue you!"

It seems the show is over!

Jiang Cheng laughed at himself in his heart, so that's why he wasn't willing to make a move. Because some things, if you miss one step, it's very difficult to catch up. And it seemed he had missed more than just one step!

Lifting his gaze, Jiang Chengfeng was looking at Lin Meng softly as if the wind was carrying his words. He smiled gently and clearly agreed, “Indeed, we wouldn’t do that.”

"Big Brother!" Jiang Po Lang called out in a low voice, looking at Jiang Cheng Feng with a complicated expression. To be honest, his heart was also very complicated, his mind was in a mess right now. Big Brother said such things, he didn't know what to do next!

Jiang Cheng reached out and patted his younger brother's shoulder. He thought to himself, "On the battlefield, winning and losing depend on timing. Right now, the timing is off. Whatever we do will be pointless. It's better not to act and avoid unnecessary casualties!"

"Little Wave, let's go!"

Jiang Po浪 opened her mouth slightly, confused and at a loss. But seeing Jiang Chengfeng stand up, she instinctively stood up as well, being gently pushed by Jiang Chengfeng as they walked out a few steps.

As Jiang Cheng was about to leave the teahouse, he turned back and smiled at Rong Ling again. The smile, however, didn't reach his eyes.

"Rong Ling, one must know how to cherish one's blessings!"

Here, Jiang Chengfeng directly pulled Jiang Po Lang away.

Lin Meng's hand tightened, watching the two people leave. Her eyes immediately stung with tears. When she saw the two leave the shop, her body softened and she collapsed, as if all her strength had drained away. Behind her, a pair of male hands reached out and gently lifted her up.

She didn't know how, but she shivered!his eye, but on the other hand, he was giggling mischievously."Daddy just scared Youyou to death, Youyou thought Daddy didn't want Youyou anymore!""That's not true!" Rong Ling thought for a moment, th...
