but suddenly stopped in his tracks, stunned.The dim lighting, tinged with the yellowed hues of the 1970s and 80s, cast the figures in a haze. On this ghostly path, seemingly leading into the past, st...Du Caiyi, that was indeed the mistress of the house at one point. When she set her mind to something, her meticulous plans were truly terrifying.
At Rong Hengduo's place, she let go of her dignity as a grandmother and apologized to her grandson. This shocked Rong Hengduo.
Du Caiyi then said many more words of concern for him, and brought up his parents and younger brother. As she spoke, she started to cry again. That expression was quite touching, even Rong Hentuo started to cry and eagerly called out "Grandma" many times.
Finally, Du Caixin encouraged Rong Hengtuo and even though she was well aware of Rong Feiwu's preparations to help Rong Hengtuo in case he fainted, she pretended not to know and expressed her feelings directly to Rong Hengtuo, telling him to kneel down with peace of mind because Grandma would have a doctor and nurses ready on standby for him.
Du Caixin was going all out, showering him with affection. The level of love was truly overwhelming for Rong Henduo!
However, he was not swayed by this gesture. Du Caoyi had left, and he still needed to figure out what to do next. If his grandmother would indeed treat him well as she promised, that would be wonderful. But if not, he wouldn't lose anything. The person he cared about was the one just across the wall!
He has his goals, and he is unwavering in pursuit of them!
*
In the room, Rong Ling listened to Miao Qing's report with a light sneer.
Du Caiyi's actions throughout the day were basically presented before him without any omissions.
"Xiao Quai, you take Miao Qing to see Mom and let her explain everything to Mom properly!" He turned and glared coldly at Miao Qing. "Miao Qing, you know what to say and what not to say, right"
Miao Qing nodded.
He sat beside Lin Meng on the sofa, hesitant to move. He couldn't bear to listen any longer because if his mother heard this, her heart would surely be pained.
Ke Rong let her take care of this big matter.
"Go ahead and tell them I sent you. You're all women, women understand each other!"
Lin Meng frowned, thinking that her husband was sometimes so ruthless. He didn't give his mother any leeway at all. But as she listened to Miao Qing's report, she understood that what he did was right. Her mother should be cleanly severed from Rong Fei. There was a bit of sentimentality in her heart; that was one thing; but maintaining a clean break was another matter altogether!
This is what's going on, everything is under this man's control. Back then when the man proposed the condition of no longer being involved with Mom Rong, whether Rong Feiwu agreed or not, in the end, things would still go according to the man's wishes.
His strength moved her!
His scheming left her astonished!
But she wasn't afraid. Thinking it over, a sweet feeling arose within her. Because he would never hurt her. And it was precisely because of his strength and cunning that she was protected well, kept safe from harm!
"Then I'm off!" Once she understood, she stood up, but then quickly bent down and lightly tapped his forehead.
"You, you should rest well. Thinking so much is too hard on your mind!"
He paused for a moment. As he met her smile, his eyes softened and a hint of warmth spread across his face, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Because she understands him!
No need for words!
Lin Meng led Miao Qing to see Rong Mama. As soon as Miao Qing sat down, she stated that her investigation was entirely at Rong Ling's behest, and that Rong Ling had instructed her to come and tell Rong Mama the details of the investigation.
Mom listened the whole way through, her face changing several times. Finally, it settled into a deep gloom, like a cloud had descended upon her. It was as if there were huge amounts of moisture trapped within that cloud, about to burst into tears.
"I'm leaving now!"
Miao Qing stood up, nodded at her mother-in-law and Lin Meng separately, then went out of the room, leaving the space to this pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Lin Meng's heart was racing and she felt extremely uncomfortable. After thinking for a moment, she still opened her arms and hugged Rong Mama tightly.
"Mom, if you're feeling down, just tell me. I'm your daughter-in-law and also your daughter, I'll always be on your side!"
Mother's face immediately slid down two lines of tears, but this weeping was silent and unseen. Sometimes, not crying aloud hurts more than crying out loud.
Mom understood her son's meaning very well.
Her son has always disapproved of her involvement with Rong Feiwu. She understood this and had always been clear-headed, which is why she stayed in City J and didn't come here. This time, it was because her son got married and had a grandson, so she came here and stayed. She felt that she wasn't much different from before, and that she should maintain distance from Rong Feiwu, and she did. But actually, things were different. The onlooker sees clearly what the insider cannot. Her son should see this clearly, which is why he pointed it out to her.
These days, she unconsciously developed a desire to compete with Du Caiyi. Because of Du Caiyi's boisterous behavior, she also felt the urge to look down on her. When Rong Feiwu called to ask for adoption of Rong Henda, she readily agreed without thinking it through. Adopting a child was a major decision, but she agreed so easily. She was blinded by her emotions!
Last night, she reflected on it!
This evening, her son had Miao Qing bring over a report that made her realize just how severe her own confusion was!
Du Caixin is indeed Du Caixin. She has a noble birth, a powerful family background, and years of familial ties. Her husband, Rong Fei, is a well-respected warrior known for his righteous conduct. Whatever she does is reasonable. Even if she makes mistakes, they will be easily forgiven because her status speaks for itself. (..) But that's not the case for me. I have always adhered to righteousness and order in my actions and dealings with people. However, even the slightest misstep could lead to thousands of people pointing fingers and condemning me. It's all because of this awkward identity I possess, and one that will never be rectified!
She should have known this a long time ago. But these days, she has been walking all over Du Caixin's head. Her son is capable, her daughter-in-law is capable, and her two grandsons are capable. Anyone who sees her will praise her. Therefore, she feels a little high above the world and has forgotten her initial self-awareness and persistence!
Although she had the worst possible start, it absolutely cannot have a bad ending. Even if not for herself, it has to be good for her son. And even if not for her son, it has to be good for her two grandsons!
Looking at Du Caiyi's methods, you can see that if she didn't have a great son, she would definitely ruin him!
What's it to you why he should get involved in Rong Hengduo's affairs!
That's Du Caiyi's legitimate grandson, but what would others think if he came into this family What would people say if Rong Feiwu kept coming over Du Caiyi's family has been persuading and warning Rong Feiwu, they're practically saying she's a woman with ulterior motives who stole someone's husband and now wants to steal their only two grandsons. The only people they have left to rely on are their husband and their two grandsons. If you take both of them away, how will they survive!
She was foolish, incredibly so, acting without a shred of thought. She agreed simply out of pity for the child and because Fei Wu pleaded with her. But she needs to understand that her family is not an ordinary one. She has excellent children, grandchildren, and many eyes watching their every move. How could she act so recklessly! Moreover, she brought someone in so easily but ultimately placed the burden of raising them on her son and daughter-in-law. This is selfishness!
Unforgivable!
How selfish, how foolish, and how conceited I am! I have done these things, and even implicated my good daughter-in-law, getting her scolded by her son!
She should reflect deeply on her actions!
"Mengmeng—" She turned slightly and hugged Lin Meng again, tears falling down her cheeks. "You're fine, you're really fine..."
Mom is acting so recklessly, yet you tolerate her, flatter her, and help her. It's Mom who owes you an apology!
"Mom, don't think too much..." Lin Meng comforted weakly, but she really didn't know how to speak!
She's truly grateful that the man she met at the very beginning was Rong Ling. Otherwise, she would have inevitably become the second mistress!
Although Rong Fei was devoted to his mother-in-law, he lacked the sincerity of Rong Ling. He didn't possess the courage to abandon his family and everything like Rong Ling, nor did he have the audacity to create a kingdom solely his own!
She was grateful to Rong Ling, grateful for her man!
Actually, at this moment, she truly felt how lucky and favored by heaven she was!
"Mom, it's okay..."
"Mom laughed, and wiped her own tears. 'Mom's this age now, not a child anymore. There's nothing really wrong, just feeling a bit sentimental for a moment. It's fine, don't worry!'
"
Lin Meng reached out and helped Rong's mother wipe away her tears.
“I hope Mom, to be happy and cheerful!” She looked earnestly at Rong Mama, her black eyes twinkling with the strongest longing. “I hope Mom, to have the best place to belong! But Rong Ling said that your heart is already occupied by someone else, there's no room for others. So Mom, cherish this good thing.”
She smiled slowly, her eyes brightening little by little, sparkling like stars had been gathered within them. Within them, there was the purest truth and the sweetest dreams.
“I always think, if I can deeply love one person in my life, that would be a great happiness. Many people, throughout their lives, haven't experienced what love is like. Even if they get married, they just live together blankly and muddle through their entire lives. How regrettable!”
She chuckled softly, her eyes becoming even more dreamy. "When I broke up with Rong Ling, although my heart was very bitter and painful, sometimes when I think about it, my heart is actually sweet. At that time, we were worlds apart. I longed to be with him, but also felt it would be a fantasy. But I told myself, in this lifetime, I have loved a man, and he has treated me well, cherished me, that's enough, that's enough. Even if in the end, I can't be with him happily ever after, it's still enough. I won't love another man, nor will I marry another man. Holding onto this kind of love, holding onto the feeling that when I think of him, my heart overflows with a bittersweetness, I can walk through this life peacefully. Mom, isn't that what you're thinking in your heart too"
Crystal tears slid down Mother Rong's face once more, but Mother Rong smiled beautifully. It was the beauty that came after years of weathering life's hardships!
She nodded heavily, in acknowledgement.
"Yes, you're right, you got it exactly! Mom has surpassed many women, so many! And Mom also has good sons, a good daughter-in-law, and good grandchildren, especially you—"
She looked at Lin Meng lovingly.
"As a girl as good as you, I couldn't bear to let Rong Ling leave you alone and ignore you. If he dared, I wouldn't let him get away with it!"
Lin Meng sniffed and wiped away Mrs. Rong's tears again.
"Mom, thank you!"
"You silly girl, what are you thanking me for!"
"No, you must thank her. Mom, thank you for giving birth to such a wonderful son! Mom, you gave birth to a great son, so you fulfilled my love. Mom, thank you, really, I'm so grateful…"
"Silly girl!" Mom scolded, her heart both sour and sweet, a mix of emotion – touched and filled with love. What a good, yet foolish girl she was!
She quickly reached out and helped Lin Meng, who was sobbing as she spoke. Tears welled up in her own eyes, and she feigned anxiety: “Don’t cry, or else, Rong Ling will see and be worried about me!”
Lin Meng laughed out loud, tickled by his words. Her husband was actually capable of doing such things!
Then don't cry either, Rong Ling will blame me for not being good enough and say I don't know how to cheer Mom up!
"Mom was so happy, overjoyed!"
Lin Meng laughed and cupped Rong Mama's face, leaning in suddenly and giving her a very heavy kiss on the cheek. The crisp " smack" sound was especially loud, shocking Rong Mama. When she saw Lin Meng with her huge, bright, dark eyes, and cheeks flushed red like they were painted with the finest rouge, she spoke dreamily and shyly to her —
"Mom, you are so great! You gave birth to Rongling. I think you are the greatest mom in the world!"
This is such high praise!
Mom chuckled, thoroughly amused by Lin Meng's sincere expression and admiring tone. For a moment, the room was filled only with her laughter.
She was elated, she was at ease, she was unrestrained!
Listen, she is the greatest mother!
Because of her, the greatest love was completed!
She was happy, she was proud, she was satisfied!
This is her family, who will love her, cherish her, respect her, and unconditionally embrace her!
What other regrets does she have!
No regrets!
Not a bit of regret!
Tears, silently, disappeared without a trace!
