lly reached into her pocket and pulled out a cigarette and a lighter. Her hand shook violently as she tore open the wrapper. By the time she opened the pack and withdrew a slender cigarette, her hand...Speaking of this, we have to go back to the late afternoon two days ago. At that time, Lin Meng was picking up Youyou and just got home when she saw a child standing outside the yard. The child was small, about the same height as Youyou. So, she took a few more glances at the child. She always felt that she seemed to have seen this child somewhere, but she couldn't remember where.
Slowly, she took Youyou's hand, and they were getting closer to the child. The child had originally been bowing their head, but probably heard the footsteps and lifted it up. When Lin Meng looked, she was quite surprised. This seemingly dirty little boy actually looked pretty, with big eyes, a small mouth, and an oval face. His face stood out from his dirty clothes, as it was fair and tender.
He is a beautiful child!
The child saw her, and his eyes stayed fixed on her. He stood there silently with his mouth closed.
She was curious about where the child came from, standing in her own yard. She smiled and asked, "Little one, whose child are you"
She thought this child was from a neighbor's house nearby!
But the child didn't say a word, still keeping his mouth shut and looking at her.
Xiaoyou furrowed her brow, tilted her head and thought for a moment, remembering something, but didn't say it!
At this time, Lin Meng walked up to the little boy.
"Hey there, little one, are you lost This is my home!" She smiled warmly and bent down slightly to look at the little boy.
For a child, the first step is to release your kindness and let the child believe in you and be willing to approach you. Then, they will be willing to talk to you!
>But this child seemed to be beyond Lin Meng's comprehension. Even in this situation, he remained utterly silent.
Xiaoyou opened her mouth. "Mommy, forget it, let's go inside quickly!"
Lin Meng looked at the little boy again and nodded. But just as he was about to enter the courtyard, he couldn't bear it after all, so he turned his head and called out, "Little one, are you tired standing outside If you're tired, come sit at my place for a while!"
The little boy's eyes lit up instantly.
Lin dreamed, and was quite happy, continuing softly, “Little one, are you waiting for your mom and dad Come inside first, Auntie will find you a stool to sit on, and then you can sit in the yard and wait for them, okay”
The little boy still didn't answer.
Lin Meng was a little suspicious that the child might be mute or have some kind of issue. She didn't want to ask too much, fearing she might hurt him. So with a smile, she invited the little boy into the yard and asked Youyou to greet him while she went inside to get some food. Later, seeing his small hands were dirty, she fetched hot water and had him wash them with the other child.
He seemed very happy, imitating Xiao Youyou, extending his two white and tender hands in front of Lin Meng's face, asking her to wipe them dry. Lin Meng smiled and didn't think there was anything wrong, she followed suit and handled it just like with the little guy.
"I want more!"
The voice was soft and sweet, with a milky flavor, sounding especially nice. It quietly seeped into people's hearts.
Lin Meng got up again to help him.
He finished it quickly, this time letting out a small burp. Lin Meng smiled and poured him another glass of juice. Xiao Youyou watched from the side. He wasn't hungry originally, but seeing his mother dancing around the little boy made him feel a bit uncomfortable.
"Mommy, I want cake too, and I want juice!"
Children are all possessive and unwilling to share their parents' love with others.
Lin Meng pulled Youyou to her side and gently rubbed his head. “Dinner will be ready soon, Youyou needs to leave some room for dinner! Be good, don't eat too many snacks before meals!”
Xiao Youyou thought about it, then said "Oh" and stopped making a fuss!
Many times, he is very reasonable and well-behaved!
Strangely, the little boy immediately stopped drinking the juice after hearing that and pushed back the glass, which still had most of it left.
"Why aren't you drinking anymore!" Lin Meng asked with concern.
The little boy glanced at Xiao Youyou, who was snuggling affectionately beside Lin Meng. His tender face tensed slightly, then the corners of his mouth twitched upwards, revealing a stubborn curve.
"I also want to leave some room for dinner!"
Lin Meng was stunned by the little boy's words. Then she saw the little boy jump down from the small stool, walk a few steps to her side, and like a little kid, forcefully squeeze between her legs. He stretched out his two small hands and hugged her arm tightly, just like holding a priceless piece of white jade!
"I want you to be my mommy!"
After finishing his words, he stared at her with a pair of innocent eyes like a puppy. His small face was still tense, but his gaze was pleading. Those black eyes, as bright and clear as grapes just pulled from water, met hers, making one feel guilty. Suddenly, she didn't know what to say!
Little Youyou suddenly got angry. "Mommy is Youyou's mommy, not yours! You can't make my mommy your mommy, you can't, no way!"
Then, with a cold face, she reached out and pushed him hard.
The little boy hugged Lin Meng's arm even tighter, as if clutching the last straw. The young man pushed him hard, it was clear that the little boy was uncomfortable, but he still gritted his teeth and resisted the shove, then flushed red in the face, using all his might to hold onto Lin Meng.
This made Lin Meng feel a little sorry!
"Yoyo!" she pulled the little one.
The little guy was a bit wronged, "Mommy, you can't be his mommy anymore, Mommy is Yoyo's mommy only!"
Lin Meng chuckled, just coaxing softly, "Youyou be good..." But the little boy suddenly let go of Lin Meng's hand and rushed into the arms of the other child. "Brother, can I call you brother From now on, you're my brother!"
This was the first time, the little guy was being hugged so affectionately by a child of similar size, and called brother. The little guy's heart felt a bit strange, this strange emotion made it impossible for him to push the little boy away at once!
"Will you be my big brother, okay! From now on, I'll do whatever you ask me to do. I'll listen to everything you say. I'm really good at doing things and I can help you with lots and lots of stuff. Mommy, from now on, you'll be the mommy of me and my big brother, okay!"
The little guy was almost lured away by the other little guy, but who is he This involves a crucial issue, and he's not going to be careless about it.
"No!" the little guy also frowned and shook his head. "You have your own mommy, go find your own mommy, alright Yoyo's mommy, Yoyo doesn't want to share with anyone!"
"Brother---" The little boy hugged Youyou tightly, lowered his head, rubbed his small face against Youyou's shoulder affectionately, and then softly called out. "Brother... Brother..."
These voices, they seem to be calling into Yoyo's heart!
This child's persistence is really something else!
You You kept a straight face, unmoved. She reached out to push him away, but don't be fooled by this little boy's size, he was surprisingly strong! The kid held onto her tightly, and for a short time, she couldn't push him off!
Lin Meng could see that the little boy was a bit unhappy, so she reached out and gently patted him. "Alright, let go of Youyou first... uh, I mean him—" Lin Meng pointed at Little Youyou. “Just let him go, okay!”
The little boy, upon hearing this, immediately let go of the little creature. But he was quick and nimble as he swiftly hugged Lin Meng's outstretched arm. Then, with a wide open mouth, he affectionately called out, "Mommy—"
Lin Meng had a headache, the little guy immediately went berserk, roaring. "You're not allowed to call Mommy, Mommy is mine alone!"
After finishing his words, he raised his fist and waved it menacingly in front of the little boy. "If you dare call me again, I'll beat you up!"
"Youyou--" Lin Meng frowned and muttered.
But the little guy wouldn't let go of his fist.
But the little boy was not afraid or submissive. "If my brother wants to fight, let him fight! I just want Mommy!"
After finishing her words, she turned her head and hugged Lin Meng's arm tightly, pressing her own little face against it. It was as if she had staked her entire life on this, making people feel inexplicably uneasy!
The little guy really hit, his little fist just pounded down!
The issue of sovereignty must be clarified from the very beginning, and no one is allowed to overstep boundaries!
"Youyou--!" Lin Menggao shouted, rushing forward and grabbing the child, pulling him aside.
The little boy was also tough. After taking the punch, he didn't make a sound. He only frowned after that and said, "Mommy, hit my brother!"
The little guy paused, a bit touched by the boy's stubbornness. But he still grunted heavily, showing his displeasure!
Lin Meng didn't really take the boy's words to heart. After all, he was just a child. How could she possibly take everything he said seriously! She soothed the boy and coaxed him into revealing his name so that she could find his parents. She figured once they arrived, the boy would naturally go with them. But the boy didn't give his full name; he was surprisingly clever about it.
"Mommy, you can call me Haohuo!"
Then he added, “Haohao will be a good boy and won't cause any trouble for mommy!”
This statement is quite heartbreaking.
The little guy took a step forward, then two, and also possessively hugged Lin Meng.
"Mommy, can you have Haohao's mommy and daddy come pick him up He's in the Agate Class, I know that!"
The little boy's cleverness came in handy, which was a big help to Lin Meng. But Lin Meng could clearly feel that after the little boy revealed the boy's details, the boy suddenly hugged her leg tightly, which hurt her a bit!
Is this child afraid of his parents, or...
Thinking about it, she still called the kindergarten. The little boy hung his head and didn't speak, only hugging her. His fair face looked a bit gloomy at this moment.
The kindergarten received the news and immediately sent Ms. Topaz Class teacher. The teacher recognized the child at once, his full name was Jiang Haofeng, but the teacher also felt troubled because this child was really difficult to handle. This child had lost his mother, and his father was completely indifferent to him. So, even if his father was rich and powerful, and his grandfather held immense authority, this child was not even as well off as an ordinary child.
Because, no one cared about his life or death! The teacher only knew that the child was picked up and dropped off from school by a driver every day, and she only had the driver's phone number. It seemed like no one in his family paid close attention to him either; this could be seen from the fact that he hadn't changed his clothes for ten days or half a month. Sometimes when he came to school, he looked haggard and dirty.
Moreover, this child has a rather gloomy personality. After being diagnosed by the kindergarten psychologist, it seems he might have mild autism. He always keeps to himself and sits alone in a dark corner, lost in his own world. When did he ever show such enthusiasm to approach people, and even cling to them!
The teacher was somewhat surprised, but she did a good job of hiding it. Lin Meng, she knew, was the mother of a famous child in kindergarten, and was also known as a "god of wealth." Besides that, there was a powerful force behind her that one couldn't help but respect!
The teacher and Lin Meng briefly explained Jiang Haofeng's situation, then quickly dialed the driver's phone. The driver arrived, but Jiang Haofeng refused to leave. He stared gloomily at the driver, not saying a word, just staring gloomily.
That driver immediately shirked responsibility. "Madam, it's a trouble for you to take care of him first. After I get back, I'll contact our boss and see what his attitude is!"
How is this possible How can a father not care about his child at all What kind of situation allows the driver to be in charge! And why can't the driver even contact the child's father, forcing him to go back and tell him later Plus, just casually handing the child off to someone else like that This is too reckless!
Lin Meng thought it was unbelievable, but the driver seemed to think it was normal. After throwing out those words, he simply and decisively left! He didn't seem to care about the child at all, which made Lin Meng angry. She felt even more sorry for the little boy in her heart!
"Don't you know your father's phone number! Didn't your father tell you!"
Jiang Haofeng said nothing, pursed his lips, and remained silent.
The teacher looked at Lin Meng with difficulty. “You see this…”
Lin Meng also frowned.
The teacher thought to herself, how could she possibly offend Lin Meng She could only grit her teeth and take this unpleasant task upon herself. "Mrs. Lin, how about this, I'll take Jiang Haofeng back first—"
"Roll!" the young boy, Jiang Haofeng, suddenly screamed, like an animal's roar, scaring the female teacher half to death.
"I want to stay with Mommy forever, go away! Go away!" Little Hao shouted loudly.
The female teacher's expression became even more embarrassed!
Lin Meng actually felt a bit sorry for this little boy. As a mother herself, she had more tenderness towards children.
"Mr. Xu, why don't we just keep this child here for now You go back and try to contact the child's father. Then, when you get in touch with him, have him come pick up the child."
Teacher Xu's heart immediately felt lighter, and she readily agreed. After that, she used all her skills to try to make Xiao Haohuo laugh, hoping to ease the awkwardness caused by his previous roar, but Xiao Haohuo wouldn't give her any face, not even a smile. Teacher Xu awkwardly smiled and politely left!
So, Xiao Haohuo stayed! Then, he became a shadow following Lin Meng everywhere. Wherever Lin Meng went, he followed. But what was particularly touching about this child was that he never complained; he just silently trailed behind, keeping a comfortable distance from Lin Meng. He placed himself within her field of vision but never bothered her.
The little guy wasn't willing to fall behind, just like he was competing with Xiao Hao. He followed Lin Meng's back too. So, there were two little followers behind Lin Meng! Even when eating, they flanked Lin Meng on either side.
Because Little Haohao was a guest, Lin Meng was also afraid that he would be uncomfortable in someone else's home, so she proactively clipped vegetables into his bowl. Every time this happened, Little Haohao would smile sweetly, his black eyes twinkling. After saying a few "Thank you, Mommy" at the beginning, he wouldn't say anything else. He would smile at Lin Meng every time and then eat all the vegetables she had clipped for him clean.
The little guy felt jealous and wanted the same treatment. Lin Meng loved her children and knew that kids were small and prone to jealousy, so she didn't scold the little guy and even helped him get some food, one chopstick for each of them, neither more nor less, treating them fairly. The little guy ate with a glistening mouth, but his eyes constantly watched Xiao Haohuo, afraid he would receive more love.
After dinner, while he sent the little ones and Xiao Haohuo to brush their teeth, wash their faces, and wash their hands, Ruan Chengyang approached Lin Meng and whispered in her ear that Xiao Haohuo was not welcome by his father at all. His father, Jiang Changhao, was a heartless person who didn't even acknowledge his own family. Lin Meng keeping this child would probably cause some trouble.
"But the child has run to our doorstep! What can we do! No matter, I can't bear this in my heart!"
Ruan Chengyang frowned and recounted the information he had gathered. "The child's mother is unknown, seemingly having died when giving birth to him. After her death, the child was taken in by Jiang Changhao. It seems Jiang Changhao dislikes the child and never brings him to public events. For all these years, he has been raising him this way!"
After a pause, Ruan Chengyang seemed hesitant to speak.
"How!" Lin Meng was a little curious. (..)
Ruan Chengyang felt a little embarrassed. "It's just that...that...people say Jiang Changhao isn't good anymore, uh..."
Ruan Chengyang felt a little awkward, especially when facing Lin Meng's innocent face. But he still had to bite the bullet and continue speaking.
“That is, um, he probably won’t have any more children after this. So people speculate that this child isn’t important anymore, and in the end, all of Jiang Changhao's wealth will be inherited by him. At that time, a gang of kidnappers had a bad idea and kidnapped the child. Because Jiang Changhao didn't care about the child at all, the child was easily taken by the kidnappers. The kidnappers called Jiang Changhao and demanded a ransom. Jiang Changhao was ruthless and directly said that he didn’t want the child anymore, so he let the kidnappers do whatever they wanted. He even said that if the child came back, even when he died, he wouldn't give the child a penny. Then, he continued to do business, went abroad, and didn't even call the police. At the time, this incident caused quite a stir, and his reputation as “abandoning his family” became well-known. Finally, the kidnappers probably gave up and secretly sent the child back. After being sent back, Jiang Changhao didn’t seem to change at all, still ignoring the child. Now, most people in City B know that this child is just an extra burden, even worse than an orphan! You kept him, and now the child keeps clinging to you. I feel that it will be very troublesome!”
The most important thing is that there are enough people in the family. Ruan Chengyang also wants Lin Meng to care for him. Why did another kid come along Yuyu is Lin Meng's biological son, he can't help it. But an outsider, why would they be so sweet, calling her "Mommy" all the time It's simply outrageous!
Ruan Chengyang, inside, is also a child who hasn't grown up, and he has jealousy too. But with his height, which is even taller than Lin Meng's, standing there, he has no face to show his jealousy!
Lin Meng was somewhat surprised that there were such parents in the world, but when she thought about her own experiences from childhood to adulthood, she felt a little relieved!
"Well, Haohao is that man's son after all, he can't just ignore him completely, can he"
She muttered those words, but her heart wasn't settled.
"Anyway, it's best if someone comes tomorrow to take this child away!"
Lin Meng chuckled softly and hummed in response. At that moment, two exquisitely beautiful children came out of the bathroom simultaneously and walked towards Lin Meng. Lin Meng spent a while watching television with the children before taking the two little ones upstairs!
Because Xiao Haohuo didn't have any clean clothes, Lin Meng gave Xiao Haohuo a set of pajamas from Xiao Youyou after getting consent from both Xiao Haohuo and Xiao Youyou.
"Thank you, big brother!" Little Haohao was so happy!
The little boy grumbled, but his attitude towards Xiao Haohuo wasn't as sharp. After all, the two were the same age and had been hanging out together since just now, so it was natural for them to develop a bit of friendship!
After Lin Meng sent the two of them to take a bath together, giggles soon came from inside the bathroom.
"Silly, you have to wash like this, if you wash that way, it won't be clean..."
……
"Stupid, it's not like that, it's like this, mumble, look at me, like this, like this..."
……
"Well, learn from me, okay Mommy said good kids should know how to take a bath by themselves..."
……
"Hey, how can you be so clumsy Come here, come here, let me wipe it for you first, watch carefully!"
……
"Right, that's it. Don't scrub too hard, you'll hurt your skin…"
……
Lin Meng eavesdropped outside for a while and felt that the situation inside was good, so he went back to the house with peace of mind.
"Jiang Changhao will definitely come to pick up his son tomorrow!" Miao Qing gave Lin Meng a definitive answer. Even if the driver didn't mention it, she naturally had a way to contact Jiang Changhao.
Lin Meng knew about Miao Qing's abilities. Upon hearing this, her heart should have felt more at ease, but remembering what Ruan Chengyang said, her heart felt uneasy. A good child lost their mother and wasn't favored by their father. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't feel comfortable!
Miao Qing suggested that the child sleep with her tonight, but Lin Meng refused. She -- wanted to learn more about the child. Her abilities might be insufficient, but she wanted to do her best to comfort him, give him more love, and help him become braver and more independent in the future!
"Mommy!" The little boy ran out, shaking his wet head. Little Haohao followed behind him. Seeing the little boy move a stool and sit between Lin Meng's legs, holding a towel and letting Lin Meng wipe him, Little Haohao also imitated him, moving a stool and sitting beside him, tugging at a dry towel.
"Mommy will wipe you up in a bit!" Little Haohao acted like he was entitled to it, as if he were the child of this family!
Lin dreamt that the visitor would be a guest, so she could have Xiao Hao come first. But Xiao Hao hid back and insisted, "Big brother should come first, Haohao is the younger brother, and younger brothers should stand behind older brothers!"
Actually, from some perspectives, his upbringing is quite good, and this child is very well-behaved!
With everything as it was, Lin Meng didn't push further. She went over both of their heads to stop the water from dripping and then took out a hairdryer, working quickly one by one. When it came to Xiao Haohuo's turn, Lin Meng patiently explained things to him.
"Haohao, you should call her Auntie, not Auntie Mommy, okay!"
Xiaohào didn't answer.
The little boy sat right in front of him and made a silly face.
Lin Meng sighed and asked curiously, "Well, why would you want your aunt to be your mommy!"
Little Hao remained silent, but his mind was racing. Though he kept to himself and rarely spoke, in reality, his intelligence was astonishingly high. His sharp eyes had already observed everything and formed his own opinions.
Xiaoyou saw the beautiful and gentle Linmeng on his first day at kindergarten. He immediately paid attention to this pretty mommy. Then, he kept secretly observing her. This mommy is beautiful, good to children, and always comes to pick up Xiaoyou and plays games with him. The way she kisses Xiaoyou and hugs Xiaoyou is so gentle, just like the mommy described in books. And this mommy is amazing, especially protective of her own child, she won't beat her child randomly. Even though Xiaoyou hit so many people, this mommy still protected him and said she believed in her child!
Such a great mom!
And, this mommy meant what she said. She told the other kids' moms that she would make those newspapers apologize to her, and wouldn't you know it, this mommy actually did it.
What touched his heart and solidified his desire for this mommy was from a party they had before. He saw that other kids' mothers sincerely apologized to her, and little Youyou stood proudly beside her. He saw her lead Youyou around to talk to each child one by one, and in the end, all the children happily said they wanted to be friends with Youyou. He saw her organize the children to play together, and he saw her tell stories to the children. He wanted a mommy like that!
He saw her teaching the children how to brush and grill meat with one hand, and readily accepting all kinds of requests from the children.
She just kept smiling like that, not even a bit impatient. She was even gentler than the teachers at kindergarten!
He wants a mommy like that!
If, let her be his mommy, he would definitely be very happy and very happy!
He doesn't want anything else, he just wants a mommy who loves him and cares for him!
"Mommy, it's fragrant, soft, sweet, and so good!"
He lifted his head and gazed at her with longing. Although she wouldn't let him call her "Mommy," she was his mommy!
From the moment he could understand, he knew there was no mommy. So he went looking for one, and now, he has found her, and he believes she's the one!
Such innocent and childlike eyes, expressions, and words... It seems like a sin to refuse him!
Lin Meng sighed in her heart, no longer dwelling on this topic. Everything, just wait until the child's father arrives and then talk about it!
Later, Lin Meng had a good talk with Xiao Youyou, making him understand what "guests are welcome," "Kong Rong letting pears," "fraternal love and respect," and "a gentleman's demeanor" mean.
The little boy "hmm" pointed his head and immediately pulled out his toy, offering it to Xiao Haohuo. Xiao Haohuo was delighted, automatically filtering out Lin Meng's words like "guest," and sweetly said "thank you, brother" before playing with the little boy.
Children need playmates. They can only have fun playing with others.
The little boy used to be the only child at home. With Xiao Haohuo's arrival, he found it quite interesting. Of course, if Xiao Haohuo wouldn't call him "Mommy," that would be even better. Besides, Xiao Haohuo is very smart. Basically, when it comes to some educational games, he and Xiao Youyou can maintain a fairly equal footing, which aroused the little boy's competitive spirit. When they play, they are even more dedicated!
Unknowingly, this night passed harmoniously like that.
When Lin Meng woke up in the morning, there were two children on either side of her, like two little koala bears, clinging to her. They were both innocent and adorable, as if they were God's favorites! Both looked like young animals that couldn't leave their mother, clinging tightly to her, drawing warmth and comfort.
One of them is definitely not her child, she just doesn't know which one to take back!
When Jiang Changhao arrived, Xiao Haohuo didn't struggle, he just cried, silently. Tears, like water breaking through a dam, flowed turbulently down his cheeks. He looked at her, sorrowfully as if he had lost his own world.
His tall and handsome father ordered him to follow.
He remained motionless, his still eyes brimming with tears that flowed ceaselessly, fixed on Lin Meng.
Lin Meng's heart, so painful!
Xiaoyou also tensed up, reaching out and unconsciously tugging at Lin Meng's pants.
Jiang Changhao directly grabbed Xia Haohuo's collar and dragged him out like a doll. Xia Haohuo was dragged, his small body soft and limp, just like a doll being carried by his father. Only his tearful eyes remained unblinking as they stared at Lin Meng. He stubbornly cried silently, his lips pursed tightly, not a sob escaping his throat.
"Don't do that!"
Lin Meng couldn't help but speak up, feeling that Jiang Changhao's actions were too rude. Wasn't he afraid that the child would be choked by him
Then Jiang Changhao stopped, furrowed his brow, and scooped up Xiao Haohuo in his arms before striding away.
Xiao Hao turned his face towards Lin Meng, but he was quite far away. Lin Meng only saw the little boy's tear-soaked face move slightly. His small mouth opened a little and uttered a word. Looking at his lip movements, it seemed like -- "Mommy"!
Lin Meng sadly hung her head, her heart feeling heavy and dull.
The little boy also felt a kind of sorrow and uneasiness that he couldn't describe. He suddenly turned around and hugged Lin Meng tightly, burying his face deeply in her legs.
"Mommy!"
Then, the little fellow was as if stimulated, softly asking Lin Meng for a hug, and following her like a shadow. Even after going to school and learning martial arts, he would call her from time to time.
"Mommy, do you miss Youyou Youyou misses mommy, Youyou wants to be with mommy all the time!"
Every time this happened, Lin Meng's heart would soften to the core. She would naturally coax the little one with kind words and repeatedly declare that she would be with the little one for life. But after hanging up the phone, she would remember that tear-stained face, silently and quietly looking at her, so yearning that a single cry seemed like a lifetime!
My heart felt uneasy!
Wasn't it like that back then She had nowhere else to turn, placing all her hopes on Rong Ling. When she begged him to take care of her, was she making this kind of expression! That kind of expression where she gave everything she had and only sought his mercy!
That's just a child, how could they possibly have such feelings!
Heart, tense up!
But she had to tell herself that her situation was complicated enough and she shouldn't involve others. Besides, as the saying goes, a stepmother faces many difficulties; she wasn't even qualified for that title. Taking on another child would make things even more difficult. And what about the child's father He was such a wealthy and influential figure!
Stop thinking about it. Don't think about it anymore!
She ordered herself to stop the kind of thinking that gave her a headache, just let it go. Then, on that day, it was quiet, and there was no more news from that child. In the evening, when she held her little one in her arms, somehow, guilt welled up in her heart. But, she was just Lin Meng, not a savior of the world, so, sleep, sleep!
After waking up, she was greeted by Jiang Changhao's article, which was just as shocking. A call also came from the company, stating that people from the Jianghe Group had arrived at the company to discuss the operation of the 10 billion funds!
She rushed over, her head slightly dizzy as she watched Ruan Chengyi and Ruan Chenghui discuss with the other party in the reception room. In the end, she was a little dazed. After taking Youyou home, she was greeted by Xiaoh hao dragging his small luggage. Following closely behind him, swaggeringly, was his irresponsible father. The father, who looked to be in his early thirties, had his hands in his pockets and followed Xiaoh hao so conspicuously. Seeing his son struggling to drag the suitcase, he just didn't lend a hand.
Finally, the scene we see now unfolded. Little Haohao, who is only one meter tall, stood before Lin Meng. He had a stern face, his eyes were downcast, and he clutched the handle of his small suitcase tightly with both hands. His lips were pressed together in silence.
He seemed very nervous, so nervous that his little hands gripped the handle tightly, white-knuckled. He seemed uneasy, his lowered eyelashes trembling frequently, making one afraid they would flutter off because of the intensity. He seemed afraid of being disliked, standing stiffly and upright, yet daring not to meet her gaze.
The child's father spoke at this time, and what he said was quite shocking.
"From now on, this child will be under your care. You'll be the child's godmother!"
Lin Meng couldn't help but laugh and cry. Is there such a thing as forced winning
“This child is easy to raise. Just give him a bite to eat! Usually, if you want to hit him, hit him. If you want to scold him, scold him. If his skin itches, just beat him up. As for this child's clothes, just take two old pieces of your son Yoyo's clothes and let him wear them.”
Lin Meng was dumbfounded!
Once, she wondered if the Jiang Changhao standing before her was really the one reported in the newspaper! Was there any parent who raised a child like this Oh, he didn't even frown as he threw out 10 billion yuan in child support, just to let others mistreat the child!
He was so generous before, but now he says this What does he really think of this child!
Lin Meng frowned. She especially disliked parents who gave birth to children but didn't raise them properly. If you don't want to raise a child, don't give birth to one; but once the child is born, you have to take good care of it!
"Mr. Jiang, please don't say things like that anymore!"
She didn't disguise her distaste, nor did she fear offending this patron who had just given Guangda 10 billion.
Jiang Changhao shrugged his shoulders, but he looked very agreeable. "Okay, okay, you say whether or not, and I won't say!"
Turning back, he reached out and patted Xiaohuao's head. "Boy, this is what you wished for. From now on, listen to your godmother well, alright"
Xiao Hao nodded heavily.
Lin Meng frowned, not liking his attitude towards the child!
Mr. Jiang, you are already a father, so for the education of this child, please don't shirk your responsibility. You brought the child into this world, and you must be responsible!
Jiang Changhao suddenly smiled.
"You're quite interesting!"
Ah!
Lin Meng was stunned by Jiang Changhao's out-of-the-box thinking!
This man, just looking at him, had an indescribable air of wealth and nobility. But his nonchalant attitude, his listless expression, and the way everything seemed to enter his heart yet completely missed it, all pointed to the mannerisms of a pampered scion. Perhaps because his father held a high official position, there was a natural arrogance in his indifference, coupled with an aura of untouchable lawlessness!
Such a person should be classified as the highest echelon of Gao Gan, but not someone Lin Meng admires!
Your child is very good!
He gave a thumbs up, but this line of thinking was too far ahead! Lin Meng couldn't keep up!
"My son recognizes you, it's fate that brought the two of you together. I have no connection with this boy, so from now on, treat him well!"
Saying that, she heavily rubbed Xiao Haohuo's head, turned around and strode away, ignoring Lin Meng's attitude!
But for some reason, Lin Meng felt that the last sentence, "Treat him well," seemed to be the man's true feelings!
This man, like a riddle, is somewhat enigmatic!
Lin Meng shook her head, rubbing her temples with a slight headache. When she looked up, she was met with a cautious face. Seeing that his spying had been discovered, Xiao Haohuo suddenly lowered his head again, looking uneasy but also trying very hard to appear obedient and well-behaved!
Lin Meng let out a smile, but didn't rush to greet Xiao Haohuo. Instead, she reached out and hugged Xiao Youyou into her arms.
"Yoyo, you saw what just happened. Now, Haohuo wants to live with us. Are you willing In the future, there will be a little kid who eats and sleeps with you, plays with you, learns with you. Are you willing"
The little guy frowned, thought for a long time, didn't say a word, just stretched out his hand and hugged Lin Meng.
He didn't directly say no, which was his biggest concession!
Lin Meng kissed the little guy's face and greeted Haohuo.
"Hao Hao, come here!"
Xiao Hao immediately took his luggage and, in a few steps, ran to Lin Meng's side, tightly grasping the hand that Lin Meng had extended toward him.
Lin Meng gently stroked Xiao Haohao, her eyes flickering with hesitation and worry. But she couldn't bear to push him away cruelly, so there were some things she had to say.
"Haohao, look!"
Holding Xiaoyou in his arms, Lin Meng extended his other hand to Xiaohao.
"People say that when dealing with your own children, you have to treat them equally, because they are all flesh and blood! But look at Haohao..."
Lin Meng turned over her palms and backs of her hands. "The palms and backs of the hands are actually different! The palms are fair and tender, softer and better protected. The color on the backs of the hands is not as fair as the palms, it's a bit rougher, facing the wind and rain outside. And—"
She pointed to the boy's heart. "See, your heart is here, it's not in the middle, it's off-center. That means, people's hearts are naturally off-center. So, you want Aunt [Name] to be your mommy, but I would definitely treat you better than [Other parent], wouldn't that work for you"
Xiao Hao nodded quickly, without a moment's hesitation.
Lin Meng thought for a moment, then asked again. "Do you understand what I'm saying"
Xiaohuo nodded heavily this time.
Lin Meng asked again, "Do you really understand!"
Because, some things need to be made clear. She's not a Bodhisattva who saves all beings equally, she's just an ordinary person with seven emotions and six desires. She can't be a Mother Mary, so at the beginning, everything should be laid out.
Little Hao still nodded, then said very clearly, "Haohao understands. Haohao is the younger brother, he should be behind his older brother. Mommy should be nicer to his older brother first, and then to Haohao!"
Lin Meng didn't know how much Xiao Haohuo actually understood, but she had done her best.
She took the little boy's hand and gently stroked Xiao Haohuo's face. With this tenderness, she bridged the relationship between the children. Then, with one hand each, she grasped the little boy's and Xiao Haohuo's small hands, making their hands tightly clasped together.
"I hope the two of you will become good friends and good brothers in the future!"
Turning her head, she added to Youyou, "Just like your godfather and those uncles of yours who are good brothers, you can completely trust them and rely on each other!"
The little boy's eyes lit up when he heard this. Then, as he looked at Little Haohuo again, his eyes seemed different!
Xiaohuo also seemed to understand something, tilted his head and looked at the little guy. Then, when the little guy took the initiative to hold his hand tightly, he smiled faintly!

After Jiang Changhao's unexpected and lightning-fast intervention, Lin Meng's reputation reached its peak. Even the news media, who had been struggling to keep up, finally admitted defeat and issued an apology. For a while, Guangda was the center of attention, with booming business and soaring reputation. But just then, something happened that sent shockwaves throughout city B.
The son of Bank of Communications General Manager Lin Menglin, it turns out that his father is unknown!
The Headline Evening News stirred up a huge whirlpool. The newspaper reported that, according to insiders, she had personally witnessed Lin Meng being drugged in the bar and losing herself to a mysterious person. She stayed in the bar all night and only left the next morning. Judging from her son's birthdate, the child must have been conceived that night. Because before and after that, Lin Meng was always alone! The informant boldly speculated that it might be Lin Meng herself who didn't even know who the father of the child was. Because the person who drugged her was her friend, and she knew the effect of that drug - it would make people hallucinate and forget everything.
Prior to this, because the media relentlessly pursued Lin Meng, information about her was already quite detailed. From the child sharing Lin Meng's surname, the media speculated that the child was probably not Ruan Cangsheng's!
Now that this revelation has come out, many people's eyes are fixed on Lin Meng, and most of them have their eyes gleaming with envy, like wolves!
Why!
Because Lin Meng has unbeatable luck!
Because Lin Meng is unbeatable at making money!
Because Lin Meng is incredibly beautiful!
For she is by no means just a decorative vase. In terms of intelligence, she is certainly no less capable than those outstanding white-collar workers!
These things can be seen from what she has done recently!
Who doesn't want to marry a beautiful wife and take her home!
Which man wouldn't want to come home to a beautiful and intelligent wife!
Men, who wouldn't want to marry a beautiful but intelligent woman who is also incredibly lucky
Which man doesn't want a wife who is beautiful but intelligent, lucky beyond measure, and brings wealth constantly
Such a woman, she's almost as rare as a mythical creature! Men have long been coveting her, trying to figure out how to win her over.
Now, with the father unknown, it's a golden opportunity!
Whoever has intentions will flock to her. Because maybe, you have the chance to become her child's father. And you also have the opportunity to possess such a beautiful and alluring woman!

On the other hand, Rong Qikeng smiled darkly.
This whole scheme will force Lin Meng into a divorce, and then she'll be forced to remarry. He doesn't believe that Rong Ling can sit idly by. Which of the elite in City B wouldn't be smitten with Lin Meng Even he himself finds her very appealing. Such a great opportunity, anyone with even a little bit of power would flock to Lin Meng's side. At that time, with so many people against him, how could Rong Ling not be thrown into disarray!
He just needs to sit back and watch the tigers fight, letting them weaken each other while he benefits from their conflict!
Just wait, master. The position of the head is within reach!
