574, Meteor Shower, Waiting for Me Back (5)

iang Po Lang instead!One male paramedic, exasperated, tightened his grip and with a forced hand chop, struck Lin Meng.Lin Meng's eyes went dark, her head slowly drooping. With tears welling up in her...If he hadn't left Li Lanqiu a gun back then, Big Brother probably wouldn't have ended up like this. With Big Brother's skills, as long as he didn't get shot, even if he fell off a cliff, he would definitely be able to escape from the rocks and climb back up.

So, it's all his fault! He's to blame!

"Sorry, sorry..."

Yu Xu kept his hands at his sides, clenching his fists tightly and suppressing a muffled voice. His head drooped heavily, as if burdened beyond measure, or perhaps instinctively trying to hide his tearful face, lest anyone see this vulnerability and cowardice. But Lin Meng still saw blurry teardrops, sliding down his resolute jawline, dropping onto the ground one by one. Every teardrop that fell was slow, like adding a mysterious power, yet hammer-like, striking at people's hearts. Upon touching the ground, they shattered, resembling a crystal cracking, causing one's heart to crack slightly as well.

Men, unlike women, are good at enduring hardship but not at crying. Their weeping is very rare, but if they do cry, it often touches people's hearts more deeply and makes them feel heavy.

“Don’t do that…”

Lin Meng actually didn't understand anything. Rong Ling had recently asked Yu Xu to rescue Li Lanqiu, but she didn't know about it at all, so she didn't understand why Yu Xu was apologizing. Yu Xu shouldn't be like this!

Get up!

Ke Yuxu didn't move, still kneeling there, suppressing his emotions as he clenched his fists and tears flowed silently, conveying his guilt. What he had done couldn't be spoken, for speaking it would bring disaster to his elder brother and his family. Therefore, Lin Meng remained oblivious to what had truly transpired. Yet, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. Even though he couldn't say anything, even though Lin Meng knew nothing, he still felt guilty and needed to apologize to Lin Meng.

Ever since he received the news, he had been restless and uneasy. As Rong Ling was still nowhere to be found, he was completely consumed by feelings of guilt.

According to the task he initially assigned his subordinates, and what they subsequently gave to Li Lanqiu, if someone from party M actually made a move, then once that person entered the cave, Li Lanqiu would use a silenced pistol to eliminate them. Then, she would find a way to attract others' attention and directly hand over her subordinate's gun, along with the body, into the sea. There were reefs below, and there were also many surging currents flowing in unknown directions that could effectively carry the body with the gun far away. In this way, even if party M wanted to investigate, they wouldn't be able to find anything.

To ensure Li Lanqiu's maximum safety, her subordinates even helped her unlock the two shackles that bound her in advance. Anyway, once m party's people are dead and pushed into the sea, many things will be unclear.

Everything was going smoothly, but at the last moment, something unexpected happened. Li Lanqiu was hiding a gun! The one she threw away was brought by the assassin from faction M, and the one she was holding when she got hurt was given to her by his men. So he was the source, he, who harmed his own brother!

Without that gun, nothing would have happened!

He thought, he really should give himself a bullet!

He previously thought he had done a good job, and after being praised by his elder brother, he was even a little happy. But now it seems, he is utterly useless. He has even cost his elder brother his life!

"Sorry..."

He wished so much that he could have taken the bullet for his older brother, and even wished to die in atonement. Even if it meant his death, he couldn't let his older brother… let his older brother...

As soon as he thought of Rong Ling's disappearance, Yu Xu could no longer hold back and punched the ground with all his might!

He can't forgive himself, he can't forgive himself, it's all his fault!

"Fourth Brother!"

The owl suddenly surged forward, grabbed his arm, and stopped his fist from landing again.

"What are you crazy!" he berated him. That punch landed hard, it was bleeding!

"Don't bother me!" Yu Xu roared, swinging his arm hard to shove Xiao Xiang. But Xiao Xiang was not so easy to deal with. From his superior position, he directly pressed Yu Xu down, then, while pinning his arms behind him.

"My brother is missing now, if you dare to cause trouble for me again, I'll beat you up!" Xiao Qiang roared. "There are a lot of things going on right now, don't give me any trouble!"

"You don't know anything!" Yu Xu roared, his neck stretched tight, veins bulging out, revealing his agitated mood.

The falcon didn't say a word, with one hand he struck Yu Xu's heart, and with a single punch sent him reeling.

"I don't know!" he snarled. "Big Brother's business is everyone's business. Don't act like you're the only one who can handle it, like the rest of us are dead!"

"You know nothing!" Yu Xu roared, furious. He raised his hand and struck. "Get out of here! Don't bother me!"

He had something weighing on his mind, already irritable and on the verge of exploding. He desperately wanted to find someone to fight. As Xiao Qiang moved closer, it only fanned the flames of violence in his heart.

Seeing Yu Xu retaliate, Xiao Qiao also grew angry. Rong Ling's disappearance had weighed heavily on them all. Each held a beast within, needing an outlet for their suppressed feelings. So, the two brothers immediately began to fight.

"Stop!" Lin Meng shouted urgently.

Unfortunately, his voice was too low and he was ignored by the two brothers who were red-eyed from their fight.

What's going on here!

"Let them apart! Separate them quickly!" Lin Meng shouted, her voice raspy because it was too hoarse.

She was so anxious that she wanted to get out of bed herself, but Ah Zhen pressed her back down.

Ignore them!

How could I possibly ignore this!

Lin Meng was so anxious that she looked at Shi Yu and the others with her eyes. The moment Shi Yu met her gaze, he frowned and then roared angrily.

That's enough!

A refined face, with a cold bearing.

"If you've got time to squabble here, why not all go and handle business! The Big Brother is missing, and a bunch of little punks are running around inside. Get busy and eliminate those punks, then we'll have the face to wait for Big Brother to come back! You two --"

He walked over and kicked someone unceremoniously.

"Get out of here, all of you! Don't disturb MengMeng's rest!"

Since he was able to rank second, he naturally had his abilities and an aura that was hard to provoke. The two of them, Xiaochuang and Shiyu, were kicked but didn't try to fight back. They both stopped fighting. But when they went outside, they refused to let it go.

Yu Xu pursed her lips, walked to Lin Meng's front, and knelt down again.

"Ah Xu!" Lin Meng cried out in anger.

Yu Xu just said sullenly, "Mengmeng, hit me, it's all my fault. Hit me, please. Just hit me and then don't hold back anymore. I swear, I will definitely bring your brother back to you."

Lin Meng was stunned for a moment, a faint sadness rising in her heart. But she only reached out and gently patted Yu Xu's head. It was more like soothing a child than scolding him.

"I hit you, get up!"

She didn't know what kind of secrets were hidden in Yu Xu's heart. He wouldn't say them, and she didn't ask. She already knew that it wasn't just her who was grieving and suffering from this pain of feeling alone. Shi Yu, Xiao Quing, Yu Xu, and others also missed Rong Ling. On a psychological level, they were all hurting too!

She's not the only one going through tragedy in this world! Many others who care about Rong Ling are also experiencing this pain. By shutting herself off, she’s sinking into hell, and it can only cause those who care for her to feel even greater sorrow.

"Get up..."

Facing Yu Xu's suddenly surprised face, she stretched out her hand, grabbed Yu Xu's injured hand, and gently wrapped it.

You are all good brothers to Rong Ling, I know that. Don't worry, I will be alright...

Although she said so, her heart was still aching. But she would be okay, she definitely would.

Let's work together and wait for Rong Ling to come back, okay

Although, I'm almost losing hope, I still have to keep accumulating hope for myself. As long as I keep hoping, there should be a miracle, right! There will be a miracle, right!

A pale smile stretched across her face. At the same time, a drop of pink tears fell onto Yu Xu's back, blooming like a rose.

Yu Xu stared at the pink, then at Lin Mengqiang's forced smile. His eyes turned red, and he nodded heavily.

"I will definitely bring Big Brother back, I will, I definitely will!"

"Hmm," Lin Meng replied softly, her eyes half-lowered.

The people in the house, their hearts ached with a sour and bitter feeling. This little woman before them, was she strong Was she worthy of being chosen by Rong Ling What unimaginable strength did she possess within her body They had all come to comfort her, but in the end, it was she who figured it out herself, and instead comforted them!

Such a woman, a devil in disguise. You dare to let her experience tragedy!

Although it was difficult, Lin Meng still ate the rice. Although it wasn't much, she didn't vomit it back up again. This is already a huge blessing for many people. They felt very comforted that she could recover so quickly.

Lin Meng also understood, no matter what, the living must be seen, the dead...the dead must be seen. She couldn't fall down. No matter how sad and desperate she was, she had to keep fighting to live. No news is good news, she would wait here with the greatest hope.

So, with her body relaxed, she requested to go to the edge of the cliff.

“It’s getting late, let’s talk about it tomorrow. Perhaps we'll find something tonight.” Ah-zhen gently comforted her.

Lin Meng shook her head. "I'm just sitting around anyway, just waiting. Then I might as well wait over there. Being closer to him will make me feel a little better."

A-zhen couldn't resist her, and after discussing with Miaoqing, she agreed.

Miao Qing escorted her with others, plus there was Da Mang, so it should be fine. The two little ones insisted on following, Lin Meng threatened and persuaded them both, but it didn't work.

"Youyou wants to be with Mommy forever, never to be separated!" The little one said this with clenched teeth, her small hand tightly gripping hers. Little Haohuo was also like sticky toffee, clinging tightly to her.

Because of these two little ones, she gave up her travel plans. She didn't mind, but the wind was strong at the cliff at night, and the two children followed her closely. They couldn't stand the wind, and if something happened to them, it would be her fault.

"Speak later."

She whispered to Miao Qing, which made Miao Qing overjoyed. Lin Meng was much stronger than she had imagined, and it seemed that she had already seen through a lot. Sure enough, bringing the two little ones over at the beginning was the right thing to do.

Because he gave up on his travel plans, Lin Meng took the two young ones to visit Dayang. He was quite badly injured and was currently hospitalized. Since it was a small town, the hospital wasn't too far away, and they arrived in no time.

Dayang saw that Lin Meng was a little excited, her eyes shining brightly, but they quickly dimmed again. She mumbled an apology.

"Sorry!"

"It's my fault," Lin Meng said softly, her voice as light and airy as her current mood—she couldn't bring herself to feel happy or allow her sadness to show. She didn't want to burden everyone with her sorrow, so she suppressed her emotions, letting everything fade into the background.

“At that time, I... was reckless. You just jumped like that, it was too dangerous. It was my fault, I almost got you hurt, I'm the one who should say sorry!”

"Don't say it like that, jumping down is my duty!"

Lin Meng was grateful to him, grateful for this big guy. She only learned later about the dangers of the reefs below the cliff, and at that time, if Dayang had jumped down carelessly and hit a reef with his head, she couldn't even think about it. What kind of person could disregard their own life, saying they would jump just as they thought!

This man, with his loyalty and courage, and his bravery, is worthy of our admiration!

Get well soon!

"Actually, I'm fine." Dayang argued in a gruff voice. "I want to get discharged, but Shi Shao is keeping me here!"

Stone Shao, is Stone Feather. Dayang has grown up beside Rong Ling, so he's used to calling those people by their names, unlike the later recruits who call them Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, etc.

"Take care of yourself!"

"I'm doing great, just look." Dayang was eager to return to the team. He wanted to see Rong Ling and also fulfill his promise to take care of Lin Meng. He didn't want to stay in the hospital at all.

He simply raised his arm and leg, demonstrating what he called "good," but Lin Meng immediately gently pressed him down.

"I hospitalized you so that you could recover sooner. When you get better, there's still a lot for you to do. Don't worry!"

Dayang was stunned.

May the future be long, and you prioritize your health first!

Lin Meng's words held a certain depth of meaning. Dayang understood some, yet he felt like he hadn't fully grasped it. However, he didn't make any more rash moves. Instead, he focused on recovering his body as quickly as possible so he could return to the team!

Time flew by, and it was the next morning. It had been almost 36 hours since Rong Ling disappeared, but there was still no trace of him. Lin Meng slowly ate her breakfast at twice her usual speed, finishing it off in a surprisingly short amount of time. She didn't eat much as always, but at least it put her mind somewhat at ease. The two little ones intentionally slowed down their eating to match her pace, keeping her company during the meal. They only finished their portions once they saw she was done.

These two kids are so well-behaved and lovable!

A family of three, in the midst of light rain, went to the cliff. The wind was strong on the cliff and the rain was coming down rather heavily, so they didn't get out of the car. They just sat there, waiting and watching as the rescue team worked hard.

This drizzly weather has worsened the search and rescue efforts. The rain makes visibility blurry and the sea surface appears even more treacherous. Moreover, it dampens the spirits of the rescuers, making them feel irritated and averse to this repetitive task of searching.

"These people, be sure to treat them well. When it comes to lunch or dinner, if possible, provide them with the best food and drinks you can afford, and give them extra allowances as well."

Lin Meng looked at the planes shuttling through the rain and said softly.

Miao Qing replied with a sound. "I know, I'll make arrangements!"

When delegating tasks, if you want others to give their all, you should also show your appreciation and support.

As noon approached, the rain intensified. The two boys sat in the car, gripping Lin Meng's hand tightly. Lin Meng occasionally looked back from the car window and, when he glanced at the two children, he could see the worry etched on their faces that they couldn't hide.

Aren't these two little kids afraid too

"Don't be afraid, Mommy is here!"

She pulled the two children into her arms and held them tightly, kissing each one. Then she turned her gaze back outside. It seemed as if someone was always waiting for her out there. Just by looking, she could keep that person's heart connected to hers, so he wouldn't get lost, so he wouldn't forget about her.

Ronger, I'm waiting for you, waiting for you, waiting for you....

Such whispers, in her heart, she didn't know how many times they had been repeated, but she would never tire of them.

Let's set a time. If you don't come, I'll go find you, okay Okay...

Night had fallen, the rain softened to a gentle drizzle. Rong Ling was still nowhere to be found. Lin Meng sighed softly and ordered them to head back, the car turning towards the small town. Miao Qing, sitting in the front seat, glanced at Lin Meng from the rearview mirror, seeming to have something to say but holding back. Meanwhile, in the backseat, Ah Zhen's eyes held a deep worry.

When she got back to the temporary rental house, most people's expressions were like A Zhen's, with worry mixed with caution. She wanted to say that she wasn't so fragile and they didn't need to be so careful. But the words just rolled around in her heart and wouldn't come out of her mouth.

Suddenly, I felt completely drained of energy!

When she lay down at night, the two children nestled beside her, one on each side, pressed tightly against her. Each little hand grabbed one of her arms possessively, holding on tight as if afraid she would disappear. Sometimes when she moved slightly, the two kids would wake up with a start, their eyes widening instantly before they saw that she was still there, and then they quickly closed their eyes again. But turning over just made them grip her arms even tighter.

She didn't sleep, so she had seen this scene many times. Later on, out of pity, she just lay still. Even so, the two children couldn't sleep soundly. There would always be a moment when, suddenly, they seemed startled. Their small frames would tremble, and then they would burrow closer to her side.

A sigh would once again pass through her heart.

Have you seen all of this! Do you know what kind of life we, your mother and I, have had since you disappeared! How could you bear to just disappear like that without a word!

She even sometimes resented him, resented that he set up such a situation, and resented that he just let go!

This resentment, too, is only a momentary mood. It will quickly dissipate, and then there will be the deep bone-chilling longing and the heart-wrenching sorrow. Only in this silent night can she slightly indulge, allowing that desperate sadness to spread like a net. And she, is the fish at the very center, caught in the net, out of water, powerless to struggle, closing her eyes and clinging to life, waiting only for an end.

"Ugh..."

Her heart ached, a searing ice that burned and stung. Finally, it broke through her composure, escaping in a soft, stifled moan.

Miao Qing, who had been guarding silently, suddenly sat up like a cat and looked at her. Seeing that she was lying there peacefully, he asked softly.

"Can't sleep"

"Um," she murmured softly.

Miao Qing remained silent for a long time. She could be tougher and more capable than men, but she couldn't compare to some women's delicate nature. She -- didn't know how to comfort people, so after half a day passed, she finally spoke slowly, several beats behind the rest of the conversation.

"Go to sleep!" The most clumsy, inept way of offering comfort imaginable.

And after a long while, a very long while, Lin Meng also slowed down her pace as she filmed an "um" sound.

Now Miao Qing couldn't fall asleep even more!

Then, the cycle repeated, and dawn broke again. Nearly 60 hours had passed since Rong Ling's disappearance, but there was still no word from him. Everyone's faces were heavier than ever, like a gray sky about to unleash a storm. However, the weather outside had improved considerably, with clear skies. It was still damp from yesterday's rain, though, making the air sticky and irritable.

Lin Meng still took the car to the cliff, and the two little guys needless to say, followed closely behind every step of the way. That day, Lin Meng stood at the edge of the cliff, facing the wind, and blew for a whole day. When returning, her nose was stuffy.

"Why don't you go to the hospital and have a check-up" Ah Zhen suggested.

"It's nothing, just too much wind!"

A-zhen and Miaoqing couldn't agree, so they finally called the doctor. It wasn't a big deal, the doctor prescribed some medicine, claiming that it should be fine after taking it. However, before leaving, he did give a warning, saying that the patient seemed to have something weighing on their chest and they should find a way to relax, otherwise, they could easily get seriously ill.

Those who have been deeply saddened since ancient times are mostly short-lived. Ah Zhen and Miao Qing both know this, but what can they do! A heart ailment needs heart medicine, but that heart medicine was thrown into the sea and hasn't been found yet!

In the dead of night, the two little ones nestled up beside Lin Meng and fell asleep again. Lin Meng, with his eyes closed, was actually wide awake, feigning sleep. The door creaked open softly. Miao Qing, who was sleeping on the floor, only opened one eye to glance at the newcomer before closing it again. The person who entered was Ah Zhen, whom she had made an appointment with. She wasn't good at giving delicate advice, so she could only rely on someone who was.

The door was gently pushed open again, and Ah Zhen slowly walked in. Though she limped, she walked very steadily and silently. She reached the bedside and sat down.

"Didn't you sleep!"

Lin Meng heard it, but it seemed like he didn't. He was still lying there stiffly.

Azhen reached out and gently touched her head. Originally, she wanted to grab hands, but Lin Meng's hands were both held by two little ones, so she could only touch her head. In fact, Lin Meng was very small, much smaller than Azhen. Compared to Azhen, she was like a younger sister. Without Rong Ling by her side, Azhen now looked at her, truly just a younger sister. However, within this immature body, there was an undeniable power.

"Let me tell you a story," she said softly, leaning down slightly, as if caring for a little sister, gently parting Lin Meng's bangs and stroking her head again and again.

Lin Meng's eyelids fluttered slightly.

"As for me and Aguang, I don't know how much you know. But I think there's one thing you definitely don't quite understand."

She hesitated, as if collecting her emotions.

Lin Meng slightly opened her eyes and saw the bitterness in Ah Zhen's eyes. This -- felt a little familiar!

"At that time, we were fighting fiercely. I always felt that he hated me, hated me to the point where he wished I was dead and vanished from his sight forever. And then, death truly arrived. On that rainy night, the car simply ran over me. It must have been too painful because I couldn't feel the pain anymore. All I could clearly feel was the sickening crunch of my bones shattering, the grinding of my muscles into mush, and my insides... well, they probably met a similar fate. At that moment, I thought, "Well, it's finally over." The man should be happy now. But you know what That man started crying, begging me not to die. He said he couldn't live without me, that if I dared to die, he would commit suicide and join me in death. I thought, how interesting. This man is truly pathetic. Only when he almost lost me did he realize how much he cherished me. But later, to save me, that arrogant man, the one who wouldn't even kneel down to beg anyone else, knelt before the doctors, begging them with his whole being. The doctor said I had no chance, and he immediately pulled out a gun, threatening the doctor, saying that if I died, he would kill every doctor and nurse in the room, then himself, so everyone could be buried with me.At that moment, I thought this man was finally making sense. I'd worked so hard for this very outcome. Was it not worth fighting for To die now would just reward other women. It wasn't fair! So, I struggled, fought against the inevitable, and somehow pulled through. The lead surgeon always said to me that my survival was a miracle. I thought, what miracle It was simply willpower. A strong spirit can achieve more than any miracle. I had trained this man with my own hands; he wasn't meant for anyone else. He walked straight into hell, but I would crawl back, even if it took every ounce of strength. That's just the kind of person I am, competitive and determined. Did you not see that!"

A-zhen charged toward Lin Meng, chuckled softly, and caressed her with even more tenderness.

"I thought, when it comes to being competitive and ambitious, I'm far inferior to Rong Ling. At that time, I was so badly injured, most of my internal organs were ruptured, but I survived. As for Rong Ling, he only suffered a few gunshots. Plus, with his skills, I figured he was in much better shape than me. And you, you're better off than me! You're the one he deeply loves. How could he possibly abandon you! You were also someone he painstakingly trained. With his terrifying possessiveness, he definitely wouldn't stand for giving you to another man. Even if it meant crawling out of hell, he would come back for you. I kept thinking, he definitely won't die. Leaving you all alone like this, he couldn't possibly be okay with that! And I always firmly believed that until the very last moment, we shouldn't jump to conclusions. You see, at the time, A-Kuang and I were together. No one was optimistic about us. Everyone said that with our situation, we were bound to break up. But look at us now, how good things are. If I had listened to those people back then, or if I had lost my confidence halfway through and given up, what a loss that would have been! Now let's talk about Rong Ling. To put it bluntly, living requires seeing him alive, dying requires seeing his corpse. We haven't seen either, not until the very last moment, can anyone know the final outcome! My personality is strong-willed. I will never give up until the very end. A-Kuang was clueless back then, pushing me to my limits. But I just wouldn't lose, refusing to die even if it meant going against the Yellow River. In the end, wasn't it all worth it! Mengmeng, your inner strength isn't any less than mine. Now, before there's a final verdict, you're torturing yourself like this. This isn't you, Mengmeng. Remember, you are Lin Meng, the one who had the guts to run away with her son and even came back for that top-notch man after getting married! Lin Meng, Rong Ling is gone, so you're not Xiao Gui anymore. Xiao Gui was Rong Ling's Xiao Gui. Now he's gone, go back to being Lin Meng – the courageous, resilient, confident, and strong woman with her own goals. Stand up, and then find a way to get that man back! Lin Meng, remember, you are Lin Meng!"

Azhen tapped her brow heavily, retracted her hand, and sat quietly on the side, giving her time to slowly digest what she had said.

Time, flowing silently, passed for a long time... a very long time....

A-zhen raised her eyebrow and gently reached out to probe beneath Lin Meng's nose. After a moment, she let out a soft whisper.

"Dreamy"

The feeling of breath on my fingers was still as steady as before.

Azhen just smiled, slowly withdrew his hand, and gently stood up. Miaoqing, who had been keeping her eyes closed the whole time, was as if she had eyes all over her body. She quickly sat up, opened her eyes, and looked at Azhen.

Azhen nodded at her and silently made a mouth gesture to her.

"Asleep!"

Miao Qing's eyes lit up immediately, she stood up lightly like a cat, silently approached, and stood at the head of the bed, staring at Lin Meng for a while. Then she turned her head and gave Azi a thumbs-up.

Indeed, this person was right!

Azhen pointed outside with her finger, and Miaoqing nodded, following Azhen out of the room. They closed the door behind them, and at the doorway they lowered their voices to whisper to each other.

"If she can fall asleep, then it looks like she's gotten over the hump."

Miao Qing immediately sincerely thanked her, but she was scolded back by Ah Zhen.

"No need to thank me, it was my honor. However, we should still keep a close eye on her."

That's natural.

Neither of them said anything more and went back to their rooms.

The next day, something happened. The search and rescue team called off the search. After three days and three nights of searching for someone who had little hope of surviving in the first place, the German side felt they had shown their utmost sincerity and it was time to withdraw, and indeed they did. Xiao Ba couldn't muster any strength, nor could Rong San Bo.

Although Shi Yu and his brothers were indignant, they also knew that the German side had already given them considerable face. They could send people to continue the search and rescue operation, but the scale would certainly be inferior to the government's, and how could they explain this to Lin Meng!

When faced with Lin Meng, the brothers felt very awkward. Lin Meng saw right through them.

"Have the search and rescue operations stopped"

Brothers, all staring at her in astonishment, they hadn't expected her to be so smart, guessing this as well. Moreover, they hadn't expected Lin Meng to be so calm; this...this...it was too different from what they had imagined!

But, hey, I have to say, today Lin Meng seems... a little different!

"You..." Shi Yu hesitated for a moment, carefully choosing his words, and asked, "What are your plans next"

"Stay here for a moment!"

Saying this, her expression remained calm.

Shiyu was a little uncertain, so he could only softly reply with a gentle tone, "Alright, then let's wait. We have our own people too, and we can find him ourselves. We'll definitely bring Big Brother back."

Lin Meng softly hummed in response, but she didn't seem excited at all. This made the men uneasy. They felt that this might be a good thing, but they were also afraid it could be bad. They worried that Lin Meng's calmness was just the stillness after a storm, so they turned their heads to look at each other, silently and eagerly exchanging messages.

Lin Meng looked at this scene, her heart warming slightly. Not dwelling solely in sorrow would allow her to more truly discover the loveliness of these men. They were like family, embracing her, cherishing her, and caring for her. These people, how good they are!

She twitched the corner of her mouth, revealing a faint smile.

This startled the men, causing their eyebrows to furrow, their eyes to widen, and their faces to contort as if they were deeply frightened!

My dearest one!

"Dream...dream dream..." Yu Xu was so scared that he stuttered.

Lin Meng's smile widened, blossoming brighter than ever.

Yu Xu immediately looked like he was about to cry!

She shook her head. "Don't worry, I'm fine, just spacing out."

What's on your mind

The men looked suspicious and uneasy.

Lin Meng walked over to Ajia's side and held her hand.

"This is all thanks to Ah Zhen!"

Turning her head, she looked at Ah Zhen earnestly. "Ah Zhen, thank you!"

"Hey, that's a bit forward, isn't it" A-zhen put on a displeased face and glared.

Lin Meng just smiled.

"What I need to thank you for isn't being overly sentimental, but it comes from the deepest part of my heart. You opened my eyes and prevented me from missing out on too much!"

Azhen just shook her hand in return.

"Remember, we are sisters-in-law!"

Then, he winked at her.

So, don't be a stranger.

Lin Meng nodded.

Although the men were dying of curiosity, they also started to see through it. Their expressions on their faces weren't so heavy anymore. When Lin Meng turned around and explained everything to them, a glimmer of light appeared on their faces.

"What I just said was that I would wait. Firstly, I'm waiting for Rong Ling. Secondly, I'm waiting for people from the Rong family. Rong Ling, I will never give up searching for him. I will wait for him to come back. As for the Rong family matter, Rong Ling put in a lot of effort in the beginning. Since he's not here now, I have to carry on with this. I want those people to see what it means to have real power, and then, shut your mouths!"

The last sentence was spoken with conviction, powerfully echoing through the room. It was clear that Lin Meng spoke these words with complete confidence and youthful energy.

Lin Meng, this is standing up!

The men were a little surprised!

Then he became even more curious, wondering what Ah Zhen had said to him and how it could have such a great effect, almost magical. He looked at his wife intently with his eyes, silently asking questions. But Ah Zhen just rolled her eyes at him and ignored him. He frowned, thinking to himself, "What's wrong with my wife" No, he had to ask her privately later. It seemed like his wife had some resentment towards him!

...And what happened to Ah Zhen after that, how she was pursued by men and guarded her secret so fiercely, never revealing a word. Let's just say on the Rong family side, someone arrived – a heavyweight visitor: Rong Qi!

It was him who came to the Rong family, and it was at this time again. Lin Meng was satisfied. Now that she had figured things out, she naturally understood what was most important right now. She originally had a talent for business and had outstanding performance in that area. It's just that she didn't aspire to be a female CEO, so after marrying Rong Ling, she didn't have the intention of starting her own company. But not opening a company doesn't mean she was oblivious to current business affairs. Rong Ling never hid anything from her about what he did.
