t to, she wants to run away, she wants to beg him to let her go, to spare her....Her struggle, to someone so tall and always interested in sports, seemed pitifully weak. But her repeated struggles onl..."Will you marry me!"

That middle-aged man, who had almost bumped into him, made such a sudden request. It was too unbelievable. She instinctively thought of refusing, but the middle-aged man's attitude was too sincere and the conditions he offered were too tempting, making it difficult for her to refuse.

Raising a child is a huge expense. From hospital bills and confinement care to the cost of raising a child from kindergarten to university, it's a massive financial burden. Her starting point was too low, making it impossible to find a well-paying legitimate job within a year or two. And the money she had on hand was simply not enough. Although she earned a little by knitting scarves, it was a drop in the bucket. Besides, as spring arrived, her business dried up. As time went on, her body grew heavier, and during confinement, all she could do was rely on her savings. After the birth of her child, she couldn't afford to hire someone else to look after him, which added another significant expense. Moreover, the domestic formula milk scandal left her feeling hopeless and unable to see any bright spots ahead.

This is her only treasure, she can't let anything happen to him.

The middle-aged man said he understood her situation, that he would marry her, take her abroad, and provide her with a comfortable life with everything she needed. He would help her as much as he could. But help is mutual, he said. He would help her, and she had to help him!

She didn't understand how she, so weak, could possibly help him. He said that when the time came, she would naturally understand. He was very certain that she could do it, and it wouldn't be difficult at all, nor would it go against her conscience or break any laws!

She isn't a fool, she doesn't just believe everything people say. More often than not, she believes there's no such thing as a free lunch. So she asks him, why pick on her! This person is faking a marriage with her, let alone what happens in four years, how does he come out ahead in these four years!

This man immediately provided his identity, claiming to be the CEO of Guangda Group, a highly reputable person, so she could trust him. She could verify his identity by searching online. As the CEO of such a large group, he wouldn't deceive a young woman. Although Lin Meng was beautiful, she was now just a pregnant woman. In a husband's eyes, a pregnant woman is perhaps the most beautiful creature, but in other men's eyes, it might not be so.

A man in his fifties said he wasn't looking for anything physical. He was too old for that kind of thing now. He only made this request because he felt a connection with her.

This leads to another story.

The man had a childhood sweetheart, but in the end, the two of them didn't end up together. The man married another woman, who gave him three sons. Logically speaking, the man is successful in his career and has a seemingly perfect family, which should be enviable. However, the relationship between the man and his wife is just lukewarm, without much passion.

Then, when the man was in high school, he ran into his childhood sweetheart. The poor woman ran away upon seeing him, looking like she had seen a ghost. He chased after her and grabbed her. The woman was down on her luck, with the passage of time leaving too many marks on her. She was actually two years younger than him, but looked a whole year older. Only her eyes remained beautiful, even as time changed everything, still dark and deep, like a calm pool of water.

Before the woman left the man, she did so without a word, claiming that she couldn't bear his way of fully devoting himself to his career and treating her like cold air. She claimed that during this time, she fell in love with another man. Because she felt ashamed and indebted to his feelings for her, she only left him a letter and didn't personally say goodbye to him. She went elsewhere with her lover.

Where did the considerate and loving man she had pictured in her heart go!

The woman stammered and said that their fate was exhausted, then politely bid him farewell.

By that time, the man had already become the CEO of a large company with tens of thousands of employees. He was no longer as naive and inexperienced as he was when he was younger. From the woman's attitude, the man sensitively picked up on something. Then, he quietly began to investigate, getting in touch with people and things around the woman. He originally wanted to find out the unfaithful man and give him a good thrashing. But after searching high and low, he found out about himself!

But it turns out, he was the unfaithful one all along!

Yet, it turned out that there was only him, one man, from beginning to end.

At that time, he was fully immersed in his career and started frequently interacting with the woman who would later become his wife. Everyone said jokingly that the two were a perfect match. His wife at the time was the daughter of a company CEO, very wealthy, and she also took a liking to him, often reaching out to him.

He was unaware that as his wife grew closer to him, she had secretly contacted his childhood sweetheart and used various methods to make her believe he had fallen for his wife. She even went as far as taking away the girl's innocence by sleeping with her in a hotel room. He, due to work obligations, was heavily intoxicated and completely unaware of what was happening. His wife took advantage of this to seduce him, then brought in his childhood sweetheart and they had a conversation.

Xiaoqingmei was deeply struck and depressed.

The wife even directly stated that besides liking each other, she could also bring huge help to a man's career. But what could the childhood sweetheart bring him!

Xia Qingmei wavered, but the real reason she left was her miscarriage. An accident that came with fatal consequences, her uterus was removed, and she became infertile for life.

When Xiaoqingmei was near despair, her wife came to her again, gave her some money, and asked her to leave quietly. What use is a woman who can't have children! The last bit of value Xiaoqingmei had in the man's eyes was gone!

Because of the incident where he had slept with his wife "accidentally" before, the man felt indebted to her. When he woke up on the hotel bed, he saw his naked wife and a blood-red stain on the sheets, a symbol representing her chastity. At that time, his wife was very nonchalant, pretending not to care as she said it was just an accident after drinking too much, and neither of them meant it. So, she wouldn't have him take responsibility. But when she said this, tears welled up in her eyes.

The man felt guilty, grateful, and admiring of the woman's grace, generosity, and thoughtfulness. From then on, he intentionally gave in to his wife more, agreeing to her occasional requests as compensation. After all, a woman's chastity was still very important in that era. Their interactions, observed by others, naturally appeared to be a romantic affair. Under the instigation of those with ulterior motives, Little Green Plum's heart broke, and she left in despair, even fabricating that letter.

She is a fool, even after leaving, she still hopes that this man can live a happy and fulfilling life!

But she didn't know, she would have a miscarriage because of that wife. (..)

She didn't know that her miscarriage could have been resolved with a simple, safe surgery. But under the wife's influence, the doctor forcibly removed her uterus, stripping her of the right to become a mother.

She doesn't even know, men have always loved her.

Everything, every single thing, was a plot and scheme concocted by a woman to win over a man.

She left the man, but she didn't live well. She was a hardworking and strong woman. Although she wasn't particularly skilled, she managed to support herself with her own hands. However, from childhood to adulthood, her environment had always been peaceful and beautiful. Even after leaving Qing'an Town with the man to venture outside, he still protected her carefully. He worked hard and interacted with others superficially while she was his sweet and dutiful wife. So, she never associated those terrible things with that other woman.

She never kept a job for long after that, actually because the wife was always messing things up.

She left, and the man's heart ached, numbed, and lost. He then married the woman he had slept with once due to intoxication and felt could talk to. The wife, as she wished, married the man but was still not satisfied. She didn't lay down her arms and remained wary of the childhood sweetheart, using various means to ruin her reputation and drive her to despair.

So, when the man saw Little Qingmei again, she was so old and plagued with illnesses. The time she had her child and uterus removed, she didn't take proper rest, which greatly harmed her body. Afterwards, to make a living, she had to run around constantly. Because of his wife's persecution, she couldn't find good work and could only do the kind of heavy, tiring, dirty work that others despised. Month after month, year after year, Little Qingmei's body wasn't made of iron; it was already weak on the inside.

Men are so capable, they can dig up all these old accounts. It's also the wife's fault for being too petty and never letting go of this childhood sweetheart all these years, leaving a lot of traces behind. Just one look and it can lead to a whole string of them.

The man was disappointed, heartbroken!

The thought that his wife was such a venomous woman made him feel unbearable, and he also deeply doubted his own judgment. For so many years, they had three children together. Although he didn't love his current wife, their relationship was still harmonious emotionally, and he respected her very much. He didn't learn from other bosses who kept mistresses or lovers, but it turned out that even his respect for his wife could become a laughingstock. Such a woman entered their Ruan family, which was simply an insult.

The man wants a divorce. He can't stand this kind of woman and he can't live with such a venomous woman. The man is a decisive person, who fought his way from rags to riches, from a penniless kid to the CEO of a billion-dollar company. The man has never been a soft-hearted person. His kindness was only for those he cared about!

He cares about his childhood sweetheart, all along!

"Don't!" Xiaomei stopped him. After learning the truth, she also hated that woman, but she couldn't be so selfish as to let that man abandon everything. She cried in his arms like a little baby.

“You may not care about that woman, but you have to think about your children and yourself. Things have come to this point, I don't have many years left to live. Why create sin in the last few years of my life, causing you and your children to suffer The children are innocent, so let it be, just let it be…”

She has always been thinking of him, even at this moment when the truth is revealed.

But can a man still watch her suffer!

He resolutely abandoned his wife and children, taking his childhood sweetheart abroad, leaving behind all the troubles in his homeland. He didn't necessarily have to divorce, but the feelings between him and his wife had reached their limit. Naturally, his wife found out about this and flew to America to confront him, creating a huge scene. However, she couldn't sway his decision. Looking at his wife's pampered face, then comparing it to his childhood sweetheart's obviously aged features, he felt anger and regret. Originally, these best things should have been enjoyed by his childhood sweetheart, but fate had twisted everything…

The man ripped off his mask and exposed all of his wife's dirty secrets. The wife's face turned pale, and she hurriedly flew back to China. But that woman was thick-skinned, always flying to America several times a year to cause a big scene. The man simply took his childhood sweetheart on trips around the world while there were only a few years left in her life.

Xia Qingmei has many illnesses, they are diverse and chaotic. Treating them is a painful ordeal, just lying in the hospital for several years before she can live a normal life again. After so many years of hardship at the bottom of society, Xia Qingmei has seen through many things. She doesn't bother treating her illness anymore; she just wants to spend the last few years happily with her childhood friend.

Three years later, Xiao Qingmei returned to Qing'an Town where she was born and raised. Two weeks later, she passed away with a smile in her sleep. As per her request, the man buried her in her hometown, the place that held her sweetest dreams.

The man returned to the United States, living a dazed and confused life.

When the man's wife learned of his childhood sweetheart's death, she immediately boarded a plane to find him, urging him to return home. She declared that her patience had reached its limit. The man turned away and decided to continue his wanderings around the world. His wife, furious, returned to the country but died during the flight.

The plane crash took her life, perhaps it was karma!

The man knew, but he didn't personally go back. He left it all to his subordinates. He couldn't shed a tear for his wife's death. His whole life had been nearly ruined by her.

The man lived a very painful life. He originally intended to follow his childhood sweetheart. But perhaps his childhood sweetheart anticipated his thoughts, repeatedly urging him to live well before she died. He had promised her, so he had no choice but to live well.

What does it really mean to live a good life

He didn't know, going to work and back home in a daze, then wandering like a ghost in the dark night!

Then, he fainted at his desk. He was taken to the hospital for examination and diagnosed with hepatitis B, a difficult-to-treat disease. If left untreated, he would be close to death, as if he had been preordained to die!

He didn't feel fear, but rather a sense of exhilaration, as if he were on the verge of liberation!

So, there were some matters that needed to be prepared. Seemingly because he could finally meet his childhood sweetheart with peace of mind, he was invigorated and started planning his business seriously. He also noticed his three sons whom he had ignored for many years. However, the breakdown of the parent-child relationship had made the three sons resentful towards him as their father, especially hating the woman who was equivalent to a mistress!

The man had wanted to discipline his three children well during these last few years, but he found that there was a gulf between him and them, a deep generational gap. His three sons, each with their own peculiar personalities, were all supposed to be pillars of society, yet they had turned into eccentric individuals who refused to be controlled. Every word he said was met with sarcasm, and they would often bring up his childhood sweetheart in an attempt to undermine him.

The matters of the previous generation should end when both women are dead. He didn't want to extend these grudges and affections to the next generation, nor did he want his three sons to know what a hideous face their mother had when she gave birth to and raised them. So, he offered no defense, but couldn't stand the veiled insults about Xiao Qingmei in their words. Unable to coexist with his three sons, he could only leave.

When Qingming Festival arrived again, he came to Qingan Town to visit his childhood sweetheart. As if by chance, when he was about to leave, he bumped into Lin Meng. She was wearing old gray clothes and appeared in front of him suddenly, which shocked him. Looking at her with a swollen belly, leaning against the wall, taking steps back, he almost cried.

Before that, he was still shedding tears, whispering to Xiaoqingmei's grave about family matters and business matters. The next moment, he ran into this person. He thought it was a sign from Xiaoqingmei!

Because Lin Meng somewhat resembled his young sweetheart, Xiaomei. Not exactly alike, but she shared three or four points of resemblance. But she wasn't a native of Qing'an Town, how could it be such a coincidence that he met her! And she was pregnant! This made him instantly think of Xiaomei's unborn child, his child with her!

Could there be anything more coincidental than this!

Heaven's will!

Heaven's will!

He paced, watching Lin Meng return home before altering his plans and settling down in Qing'an Town. As he uncovered her identity, an idea began to take shape in his mind!

He needs this girl to help him play his last game of life!

Victory or defeat, it all depends on fate!

“I can offer you six years of carefree life, with food and shelter provided. Even after the deal is done, I'll give you a million dollars. Our marriage contract is just a formality, but it's necessary. Rest assured, I won't touch you in any way. And we can sign a legal agreement about this right now. If you have any requests, we can negotiate and put them in writing. After six years, you will be free, with no further connection to me. We can even draft a divorce agreement before our wedding.”

This middle-aged man had considered almost everything, and the conditions were truly tempting for Lin Meng. It seemed like a win-win situation with no downsides. If she refused, it would make her look foolish. Ultimately, it was the little green plum in the story who convinced her to agree. She had to admit, she was touched by the little green plum's story.

The middle-aged man took her to see a young girl's grave. Sure enough, the woman in the photo on the tombstone looked a bit like her.

She agreed!

This would probably be the craziest adventure of her life, but she listened to her heart and agreed. Actually, life is full of adventures, it all depends on how you choose. Although sometimes adventures can end in total failure, everyone knows that wealth and honor are sought in risks, sometimes, you just have to take a chance!

The man said he knew her situation was a little bad right now, so it would be best if she quietly left with him. This would also make things easier for their plans four years down the line. So, she slipped away without saying goodbye, leaving only a letter.

For four years, the man's biggest request besides ensuring the well-being of his wife and child was that she not be forced to abandon her studies. She was a woman with ambition, understanding that in this world, to live a better life, one needed a degree. Even without a degree, she at least needed a skill. That way, even if one day she had no one to rely on, she could still support herself and live well!

The man was very kind, looking at her with the gaze of a gentle father. The child who Xia Qingmei had given up years ago was a daughter. Perhaps, he saw Lin Meng as his own daughter he never had.

Of course, he didn't take Lin Meng as his goddaughter, but married her. Being a nominal couple was naturally for his plan four years later!

He fully supported Linmeng's idea. As soon as Linmeng went to the US with him, he immediately registered her at a nearby university and applied for online courses. This way, she could follow some courses appropriately while pregnant.

Pregnancy was actually monotonous, but it also made it easy for her to quiet down and read. In a blink of an eye, four years passed. She graduated, received her diploma, and it was time for her to keep her promise.

His request was simple: he wanted her to return home and live with him and his three sons.

"My three sons have a deep grudge against my lover. They have always harbored resentment towards me, my lover, and the situation with their mother. Because of this, they live dissipated lives, drifting through each day aimlessly. I need you to go back and live with them, slowly influencing them in your shared life, letting them see your goodness."

"Is that it! This... seems hard to handle!"

"Well. I chose you because you resemble my wife. So if you go back, they will definitely transfer some of their hatred for my wife onto you. You would be indirectly bearing the brunt of their anger towards my wife's children. But I can see that you are very similar to my wife, both of you are strong and resilient women. After spending time with you, these three children will surely feel your goodness and gradually change their perspectives."

But, I’m not entirely confident!

“Hee hee…” he chuckled softly. “I don’t need complete confidence, I just need you to do your best. My three children, the eldest plays with cars, the second with women, and the third with corpses. Each one is a worry, like mud that can’t be propped up. But my son, Ruan Cangsheng's, shouldn't be too much of a coward. So I still want to give it a try.”

Now they've been driven to desperation, longing for those luxurious days of the past, but it's impossible. Back then, I built my fortune from nothing. If they were truly dragons, clinging to that shrunken capital, they could still make a comeback. If they reach this point and refuse to repent, continuing their meaningless lives, well, let them be. Do your best, don't force yourself. I've also prepared a fallback plan for the three of them.

They can do their best to get ahead, so they won't be looked down upon in the future. If they can't make it, then that's just their fate. I gave them the opportunity and did everything I could, no one can blame anyone!

Lin Meng was a little curious about what he meant by "back-up plan," but she quickly suppressed the thought. She figured if she asked, this man would spill everything. He had been so good to her over these four years, treating her with utmost care. Just because he had revised the divorce agreement and placed it before her, she knew that she had won the craziest gamble of her life!

She couldn't ask, afraid that doing so would hinder her own peace of mind. Only by remaining unaware of the specifics could she stand shoulder-to-shoulder with those three boys, supporting the already crumbling Guangda Group together.

Thus, in this autumn season, she returned, bringing her precious son with her.

Actually, she shouldn't have brought her son back. Because this is a dangerous land, she could encounter that man at any time. So, the risk of losing her child would increase significantly. However, after much deliberation, she still brought her son along.

Among these, it was the man's affairs that gave her great encouragement!

The man chuckled and revealed that he had long expected the tens of millions of yuan in losses Guangda Group suffered overseas, and could have stopped it. However, he allowed his eldest son, Ruan Chengyi, to sign the deal and create this disaster.

Tens of billions!

It's a number that would stun ordinary people, yet this man said to throw it away was to throw it away.

"To smash the cooking pots and sink the boats, one should have that kind of courage. And some things, as long as there's a sliver of possibility, we should try our best, even if it means paying a heavy price, even if the result is nine losses out of ten!"

She had been an love fugitive for over four years, so she wanted to give it a try. The story of the old man and his childhood sweetheart told him that love wasn't that complicated; it just took two people supporting each other, caring for each other, and walking together calmly until they grew old.

Rong Ling, that person who seemed so high and mighty, she always felt unworthy of him. She always felt she couldn't marry into his kind of family, but this time, she wanted to try, to give it her all. Failure meant just a broken heart, it wasn't that bad really. And if she succeeded, she could gain the greatest happiness of her life.

He Rongling had a vast and impressive fortune, but she didn't care much for it. She Linmeng had nothing, but she thought that someone as proud as Rongling wouldn't stoop to using her husband's wealth to boost his own status.

This is a huge gamble, but she still wants to take it. Even if she loses, she won't regret it in the future because she tried her best.

As for her precious son, the child was still so young that she wanted to keep him close and raise him herself. She couldn't trust anyone else with him. She had also been afraid that Rong Ling would discover her son's identity and try to take him away from her. But then she thought about Rong Ling's status as the head of the Rong family, known for his many romantic affairs. If he really wanted a child, he could easily find women all over the world to have children with him. He wouldn't need to be so petty and clingy to her son!

She came back after considering everything that happened before and after.

But encountering Rong Ling was too early, beyond her expectations. She was caught off guard, but—it didn't seem as bad as she imagined.

She smiled, her lips curving upward slightly.

That man, at least, was only a little domineering with her in bed. He didn't really do anything to her. In that sense, she still has a good chance.

After soaking in the warm water, her body was much more comfortable, and the pain lessened. She got out of the bathtub, drained the water, wiped herself clean, and put on her clothes.

The little kid outside had eaten most of the snacks. Seeing Lin Meng come out, he tilted his little head up and smiled sweetly. "Mommy, come here, come here..."

She walked over and sat down on the sofa.

The little guy extended his small hand, holding the pastry, and brought it to Lin Meng's mouth.

"Mommy, eat."

The little fellow was a kind soul who knew how to share. Whenever he had something delicious, he always set aside one for his beloved mommy. Lin Meng opened her mouth and took a bite, savoring the subtle fragrance that danced on her tongue. The sweetness reached straight to her heart.

Holding her son in her arms, she softly asked him what he had seen. Though still young, the boy already showed signs of his intelligence. Lin Meng paid great attention to her child's education and especially enjoyed spending time interacting with him. In fact, it was largely thanks to her that the little guy, at such a young age, was so smart and adorable.

Give a child a picture book and let them read it themselves. Then, based on the content in the pictures, they can weave their own story. The story they create might differ from the original intent, but it can greatly develop a child's intelligence and imagination. After all, children are still young, so sometimes their words are naive. The stories they come up with often make Lin Meng burst into laughter. She enjoys this moment, listening to her child narrate the world they see through their innocent eyes.

The little boy is a child who never gives up. Because Lin Meng has always used an encouraging style of education, he dares to think, speak, and act. When his mommy said she wanted to hear him tell a story, the little boy immediately beamed with joy and began to talk. He felt that being able to tell his mommy a story was an honor. In this process, it actually effectively exercises the child's language organization ability.

The little kid was already incredibly intelligent. With his consistent effort and gradual training, he had become much smarter than other children of the same age.

Moreover, Lin Meng usually doesn't avoid children when doing things. She often chats with them about daily life, economy, politics, novels... etc. She has her own way of communicating with children. Using concise language interspersed with everyday life, those dry political and economic terms become clear and easy to understand. Moreover, through individual examples, she teaches children what is right and what is beautiful.

This seems a bit ahead of the curve. But you can't expect all children around the world to have to follow that same rigid educational model. Every family is different, every child is different, and every mother is unique. If the little one enjoys listening, doesn't find it tedious, and is enthusiastic about it, then that kind of enlightenment is a success!

Lin Meng listened very attentively as her son finished telling his story, smiling and giving him feedback. First, she showered him with praise, then gently pointed out where the logic wasn't quite smooth. The little boy frowned, accepting it humbly.

This guy's personality is much like his father's, it seems. The young man has never gotten angry at being pointed out his shortcomings or flaws. At most, when his temper flares, he gets a bit sulky and gives people a gloomy back to look at, making them feel intimidated. You can't coax him out of it unless Lin Meng comes forward personally.

"Mommy, what's this!" The little boy suddenly reached out and poked at Lin Meng's neck. It turned out that sometime during their cuddle, the high collar of Lin Meng's sweater had been pulled down just a bit, revealing the rather frightening hickey. The little boy moved quickly, immediately climbing out of Lin Meng's arms, grabbing her shoulders with one hand and her collar with the other.

"So many!" the little kid frowned, his face scrunched up, not happy at all.

"Mommy got bitten by a bug!" The childish voice asked with annoyance.

Lin Meng felt guilty and could only nod slowly, trying to cover it up by saying, "It's nothing, just apply some medicine."

"Ugh, nasty bugs!" The little kid pouted and let out a cold snort. "Next time I see them, I'll kill them."

He spoke, a sinister flash crossing his face. The little guy adored his mommy. Anyone who dared to bully his mommy would find him rushing headlong into a fight, even though he was just a tiny radish head. This brave and fierce nature, Lin Meng absolutely refused to admit it was inherited from himself, it must have come from his cold, gloomy, power-hungry father!

Lin Meng didn't want to see the child so young, already exhibiting such extreme negativity. So, smiling, she fiercely kissed her little one's cheek and softly said: "Thank you, Youyou, but that naughty bug has already been killed by Mommy, okay Youyou isn't angry, Mommy loves you..."

The little one's face looked a bit better, but he tugged on Lin Meng's arm and shouted, "Mommy, put medicine on it, put medicine on it..."

Hurry and get Lin Meng to apply medicine immediately!

As there was no ointment for inflammation and pain relief, or promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis around, Lin Meng estimated that the front desk would have some, but considering her whole body was covered in those heavy hickeys, it would be safer to go to a drugstore. Besides, she needed to buy other things as well.

Thus, the mother and son, dressed and ready, walked hand-in-hand out of the hotel and straight to the pharmacy. They bought ointment and some other miscellaneous over-the-counter medications. While the little boy was excitedly helping his mommy buy other essential medicines, Lin Meng quickly took a box of birth control pills and secretly put them into the basket, mixing them in with the other medicine.

Relieved, Lin Meng secretly thought her actions were a bit ridiculous. She had even considered buying condoms, but those seemed too conspicuous, obviously different from medicine. If the little one found them, it wouldn't be good. She'd just wait and talk about it later. The child's father had disappeared without a trace and hadn't returned yet; she wasn't sure what his attitude was. It was best not to rush things.

After buying a large bag of medicine, the two took a taxi to the business hall.

She came back to this country from abroad, and she needed to get a domestic card so that she could contact others more conveniently. The business hall also sold mobile phones, and Lin Meng's heart moved. After finishing the card application, she took her son to look at the mobile phones. She planned to buy a mobile phone for her son too. It didn't have to be too expensive. As long as it could make calls and send text messages, such a cheap mobile phone would not attract too much attention and cause unnecessary trouble. Buying a phone for her son was also because the two of them were new to this place. If they accidentally got separated or lost their way because of something, at least they could contact each other with a phone. Later on, she would probably have to run around for work. Having a mobile phone would allow her son to contact her as soon as possible if something happened.

In this world, only her son is closely attached to her. She has to ensure her son's safety at all times, so she has to think of everything that needs to be thought of.

The salesperson immediately became cold when Lin Meng asked for the cheapest phone. He casually pointed out a few models to Lin Meng and then stopped paying attention, instead chatting with another salesperson. There were several mobile phone booths in the hall, so there were quite a few salespeople around.

Just then, the two of them were heard laughing and playfully teasing each other.

"Oh, that guy who just went out looked familiar. I wonder if he's a young heir from some company!"

"Ha ha, caught me! It's Guangda's second young master!"

"Wow! You really scored big time! That's a huge company! You must have incredible luck in love, to snag someone like this diamond king!"

“Where!” The woman wore a smug expression on her face, but her tone revealed a hint of disdain. “Guangda isn’t what it used to be. It’s gone downhill, just a shell of its former self.”

"Well, well, if you can't handle it, you could always ditch that Young Master Wang and follow him!"

"He's got money, right They say even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. I guess his family still has some assets, so I'm in. He's generous to women and can afford it, so let's just go with it!"

Lin Meng frowned and looked up at the salesperson for the first time, really looking at him. He looked very young and handsome, with a great figure, curvy and voluptuous. His chest looked so big, like rolling waves. She was wearing a unique professional outfit that was more serious than others, but it couldn't hide her charm. The makeup on her small face was delicate, making her look like a beauty, but the words she spoke were rather unpleasant.

"Who would marry him!" the woman laughed, nonchalantly shrugging her shoulders. "It's just for fun. He's always a player, one woman after another. This time, if it wasn't for his family falling on hard times, he probably wouldn't even look at someone like me. I'm not stupid, just playing around, make some money and leave. Who would want to spend their life with him Trust me, his family is really struggling. The places he takes me are awful, totally beneath me. He gave me a necklace, which was only worth a few tens of thousands..."

"Wow, a necklace worth tens of thousands You guys only met a few days ago, and you're already spending so lavishly"
