n, still gently stroking her silky hair.She had cried enough, lifting her face that was wet with tears. Her bloodshot eyes were wide open, staring straight at him, her silver teeth almost breaking thr...Lin Meng took a deep breath, forcing herself to push down the complicated and chaotic emotions in her heart. Right now, what she needed was to focus on handling the situation at hand. When she had been holding the tray just now, she saw from afar that there were quite a few people gathered by the large basketball court, which made her worried, so she hurried over. And when she saw Xiao Youyou's figure, she immediately ran towards him.

The little one is her only treasure, she can't let anything happen to him!

"Yoyo, come here and tell mommy what's wrong!"

She casually placed the tray on the ground and then knelt down, her gentle eyes warm and accepting as she looked at the little one. The little one pouted, but their heart was already warming up. There wasn't a trace of anger on Lin Meng's face, only the gentleness of a mother. This made the little one feel cared for, deeply loved.

"Mommy..."

The little boy told everything that happened in detail. He didn't intentionally throw the ball at the little girl, he just didn't want the boy to steal the ball away. Besides, he threw it towards the side of the floor, probably because the ball bounced after landing and hit the little girl in the face. You can actually see this from the little girl's injured face now. If the boy had done it on purpose, the little girl wouldn't have just suffered such minor injuries, her nose only had a little bit of blood. A child's nose is fragile, if their face was really hit that hard, the bridge of their nose would definitely be damaged and they would cry out in pain!

But some people apparently don't think so!

At the beginning, the pampered noblewoman immediately became displeased when she heard from the young boy that her precious son had kicked him, not even considering basketball ethics. The woman's name was Mu Xin Feng, born into a wealthy family, and her husband was Rong Qi Keng, the man who would have become the head of the Rong family in this generation if it hadn't been for Rong Ling's sudden appearance as a dark horse. Although her husband didn't become the head of the family, he still held a certain position within the Rong family. The woman had always lived a pampered life, being indulged and adored from childhood. She couldn't tolerate others speaking ill of her. After her husband lost his position as head of the family, she devoted herself to cultivating their son, hoping that he would one day reclaim the position for his father and restore his honor. Therefore, she had always been proud of her son and absolutely refused to allow anyone to criticize him.

"Hmph, at such a young age you already know how to quibble. You're clearly the one with bad intentions in your heart, yet you stubbornly try to smear others. What an ill-mannered child!"

Mu Xin Feng looked at Lin Meng and her son with disgust. The words that came out of her mouth were as vulgar as those of commoners, truly unbecoming of a noblewoman.

Lin Mengxin's heart was still filled with anger, but her face showed nothing. She touched Youyou's head and stood up, giving Mu Xin Feng a deep look. Her expression remained calm, showing no sign of distress, let alone any shame.

"As for who was right and who was wrong, I believe both children understand in their hearts. And I also believe that if anyone had seen the two children fighting over the ball just now, they would understand too. I believe my son would never do something like throw a ball at someone!"

"tsk tsk, what kind of mother, what kind of child! It's precisely because you have a mother who is blind to right and wrong and indulges her children unconditionally that there are so many social scum!"

"Oh!" Lin Meng smiled softly. "Then this sentence, I think I'll return it to you word for word!"

The noblewoman's face suddenly fell, her expression turning cold. She realized this woman before her was no ordinary person; she seemed impervious to insults, unfazed and calm. Her anger felt like it was hitting a soft cotton ball—it dissipated instantly, leaving nothing but frustration.

In this world, there are two kinds of people who are not to be trifled with!

One kind is like Rong Ling, powerful and influential with extraordinary ability, making people too afraid to even consider provoking them; the other is clearly lowly, like mud, anyone can trample on them, yet they maintain a lukewarm demeanor, smiling at everyone equally, just like the person in front of me!

At such a young age, could she possibly have that kind of patience!

A murmur arose in Lady Mu Xin Feng's heart.

Over there, Lin Meng led Youyou forward. Facing Rong Ling's fierce gaze and the chilling murderous aura that could be felt even from afar, she arrived in front of the little girl. She smiled gently at the little girl held in Rong Ling's arms and softly asked, "Does little sister still hurt What Big Brother did just now was wrong. Auntie brought Big Brother here to apologize to you!"

Youyou immediately became alert and opened her mouth again, saying, "I'm sorry, but I really didn't mean to!"

The latter half of the sentence still shows the kid's unwillingness to yield. He would never admit to something he didn't do.

“How can something like this just be dismissed!” Mu Xin Feng continued, unwilling to let it go. “Just saying sorry doesn't solve anything when someone has done wrong! If criminals could just get away with anything by apologizing, wouldn't society fall into chaos”

She simply wouldn't be defeated by such a bizarre, young woman.

Lin Meng frowned, somewhat disgusted with Mu Xin Feng's persistence. It was clear that she came from a wealthy family and should have received good upbringing, so why was she acting this way towards a child! Children are just being children; what does it matter As an adult, she shouldn't be holding a grudge against a child like this!

Lin Meng's heart was filled with some helplessness!

But after all, this matter was because of her own son, she had no position to speak out against him. Besides, seeing Rong Ling hold the little girl so tightly, it seemed that the little girl's identity was unusual, certainly belonging to a prominent family that ordinary people couldn't afford to offend. She had just returned and there was no need to cause trouble for herself.

After going through a whirlwind of thoughts in her mind, Lin Meng turned her head and looked at the woman standing beside Rong Ling. Driven by her maternal instincts, she knew that this woman, whose eyes had been constantly fixed on the little girl, must be the little girl's mother.

"Are you the mother of this little girl" she asked with a smile.

The woman's expression was calm, but she ignored Lin Meng completely. As a woman, she had such arrogant capital. Besides, her precious daughter had been hurt, giving her even more reason to disregard Lin Meng. Putting herself in Lin Meng's shoes, he couldn't complain about the woman's attitude right now. He just supported his smile and continued, "Let's take my little sister to the hospital first. I'll be fully responsible for the medical expenses..."

"Hey, you think we're trying to scam you for medical expenses!"

It's Mu Xinfeng again!

"What kind of people are we that we would even care about money! Ridiculous. Do you think you're someone special, that money can solve everything"

Mu Xin Feng walked over, holding her son's hand, and looked at Lin Meng mockingly. "Our little Mu Mu is the apple of Grandpa's eye, even if he shed a single drop of blood, you would be heartbroken for half a day. Can money solve the problem when your child has tortured his sister like this!"

"Then what do you want to do!" Lin Meng shifted her body, turning away from Rong Ling's gaze that had always felt like it was dissecting her.

"How dare you!" Mu Xinfeng snorted coldly. "Bring your man here, and we'll talk. Some things are not something a woman like you can solve!"

Lin Meng's heart ached, wounded by these words! Man! Her man! Where did she get a man! The only man she had ever known was the one standing beside her, yet he was glaring at her with hatred. Now it seemed she had angered the Rong family again; truly, she had offended everyone who could be offended.

Couldn't she hear the implication in this noblewoman's words She probably wanted to find out about her husband's identity, so she could use the Rong family's influence to intimidate them. She was no longer an innocent girl; she knew something about using power to oppress others.

"It seems you're a woman of the house as well, huh" Lin Meng still smiled. "If I were to find my husband, it wouldn't be appropriate for you to talk to him, would it"

This lighthearted question was like a slap in the face to Mu Xin Feng!

Mu Xin Feng's eyes widened, and the displeasure on his face was quite obvious.

Just then, the little girl's mother suddenly chimed in, "Lady, don't you think your attitude is problematic! You are in the wrong now. Instead of sincerely apologizing, you are confronting people head-on. Such behavior is truly unpleasant!"

Don't look at the woman, she hasn't been speaking seriously all along, but once she opened her mouth, her killing intent was much stronger than Mu Xin Feng's! Mu Xin Feng is considered to be protecting her daughter, and naturally she can't bear to see Mu Xin Feng fall behind in the confrontation with Lin Meng.

Lin Meng let out a soft sigh, feeling both amused and exasperated. She thought to herself that she had really forgotten to check the calendar before going out today, and now she was facing such an outrageous situation. She had always been submissive and sincere, but the other party refused her advances. What could she do

Well, what do you want! Forgive my simplicity, I can only think of compensation for sending the child to the hospital. If you have any ideas in mind, just say them!

The woman glanced at her, but didn't say a word. She turned her head to look at her young daughter, completely ignoring Lin Meng.

“Mommy!” Little Youyou tugged on Lin Meng’s pants, her face scrunched up and her big black eyes cold. “I already apologized, there's nothing left to do about it. They were the ones who came to pick on me in the first place. If they hadn't come and steal the ball, this wouldn't have happened. It's just a little nosebleed! Making a fuss and crying non-stop…”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and slammed his clenched fist into his own nose.

"Youyou!"

Lin Meng screamed, but she couldn't stop it in time. She saw Xiao Youyou open his hand, and then bright red blood flowed down his nose slowly.

"Now I'm bleeding too, it's even!" Little Youyou said with a straight face, her childish voice cold.

A sharp pain pierced Lin Meng's heart, it felt like it was breaking!

She knelt down and hurriedly embraced the little boy in her arms, letting him lean against her. With one hand, she held his head back, slightly lifting his face to prevent the blood from flowing out of his nose. The other hand quickly pinched his nose shut. But what her fingertips felt was a warmth, that of blood!

It's the blood of her beloved little treasure!

Lin Meng's heart was filled with intense pain!

"Yoyo, open your mouth and breathe!"

The little guy obediently opened his mouth and even had the energy to giggle and wink at Lin Meng. "Mommy, it's okay, it doesn't hurt, not at all..."

Lin Meng heard this, her nose ached, and tears welled up in her eyes. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and two hot tears rolled out of her eye sockets, splashing onto the little boy's face.

The little boy was startled, and tears sprang to his eyes. His small hand reached up frantically, wanting to touch Lin Meng's face, and he choked out, "Mommy, don't cry, it's Youyou's fault. Mommy, don't cry, Youyou was wrong, I won't do it again next time, Mommy please stop crying…"

Soft little hands, clumsily touched Lin Meng's eyes. There were crystal tears, sliding down the child's cheeks along both temples.

Lin Meng took a few deep breaths, forcing back the tears in her eyes. She withdrew her hand that was pinching the little boy's nose and reached into her pocket to pull out a tissue. She tore it in half, forming two balls, and stuffed them into the little boy's nostrils.

She reached out again, dabbing at the tears welling in her eyes. Making sure there were no traces of fear on her face, she then reached out and scooped the little one into her arms. Holding him close to her chest, she embraced him tightly, as a mother hen would protect her chick.

"It wasn't Youyou's fault, it was Mommy's fault!" she murmured, a self-deprecating smile playing on her lips.

She looked up at the little girl, then at the little girl's mother. Both of them were taken aback by Xiao Youyou's sudden action and looked rather stunned.

Lin Meng's smile vanished from her face, replaced by a cold stare as she looked at the little girl's mother. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a one hundred yuan bill, waving it in front of the little girl's mother.

“I intended to be kind and generous, treating others well while also taking care of myself. However, it seems that kindness is often taken advantage of. As for my son Youyou, I know his character well. He wouldn't do something like bullying a child. It's only reasonable for him to apologize to your daughter, but things have gone this far, and I can only stop here. A little nosebleed, I believe that one hundred yuan for medicine is more than enough. Please accept it.”

She waved her hand and threw a hundred-dollar bill, almost like she was slapping the woman's face with money.

Lin Meng laughed again, but this time it was a mocking laugh. "I know your status might be extraordinary, but this isn't a feudal society. There's no need for me, a lowly commoner like myself, to flatter you! Your child is precious, and so are mine. They aren't necessarily inferior. If you want to deal with me, come right at me. My name is Lin Meng, I await your arrival and that of your family!"

After she finished speaking, she hugged Little Youyou and turned to leave. Her back was crisp and decisive, with a backbone that couldn't be bent. Little Youyou, who was leaning on her back, had tears that hadn't dried yet, grinning and grimacing, making a funny face at the woman!

The woman's face changed!

...after she heard the name Lin Meng!

Dream of the forest!

She said her name is Lin Meng!

Isn't that Lin Meng!

Is that her!

Could it be her!

She suddenly turned her head, widened her eyes, and stared at Rong Ling standing on the side!

Seeing his composed face, staring intently at Lin Meng with a sinister gaze, his eyes seemed to still be surging with murderous bloodlust. Her heart sank like a stone.

She wasn't oblivious to Rong Ling's sinister gaze just now, but she was stubbornly wishful thinking that Rong Ling acted that way because he cared about his precious niece being bullied by that woman. (..tw)However, Rong Ling didn't utter a single word from beginning to end! Since that woman appeared, he hadn't said a word, only staring at her with almost laser-like intensity!

Yes, his gaze, from the moment the woman appeared, never left her for a second. Throughout the entire time, his eyes remained fixed on her. Even his harsh glare was solely directed at her, not giving anyone else even a glance.

It's her!

It is Lin Meng!

That woman didn't know what words to use to describe her!

She is back!

Then, can Rong Ling still be that Rong Ling!

Four years ago, Rong Ling's madness, even now she thinks about it, her heart trembles. There is a sense of unease in her heart, a faint feeling that a storm is brewing. She began to regret that if she had known the woman was Lin Meng earlier, she would never have treated her with such indifference. Because of Lin Meng, her father already had a rift with Rong Ling. Thankfully, with her and Mu Mu mediating, the relationship remained superficially friendly. Just now, she almost offended that woman. Also, the child that woman brought, it wasn't apparent how young he was, yet so resolute and unyielding, raising his hand to smash her nose with one punch. With just one hand, I'm afraid not even some adults would have this courage!

That child is hurt, I'm afraid Lin Meng might also feel unwilling in her heart!

Oh!

The woman let out a sigh in her heart and whispered, "Rong Ling..."

Since four years ago, she hasn't been able to figure out Rong Ling's thoughts!

"Take her to the hospital!" Rong Ling said coldly, his expression icy. He extended his arms and returned the little girl to the woman's embrace. The woman immediately reached out and hugged her.

"Lao Si, you send Sister Man and them there!"

Yu Xu responded with a sound, the woman, Rong Man, forced a smile and followed Yu Xu.

"Uncle..." The little girl called out in confusion, not understanding why her uncle wasn't hugging her anymore and wasn't leaving with her!

Ke Rong remained motionless, his expression cold as ice. He stood there silently, his chilling gaze still fixed on Lin Meng's retreating figure.

"Uncle..." The little girl cried pitifully, and the child's mother immediately soothed her in a soft voice.

Over there, Mu Xinfeng also took back his lofty arrogance, lowered his head slightly, and led the two boys by the hand, hurriedly following behind.

Lin Meng ---

Mu Xin Feng is definitely not unfamiliar with this name!

She is also feeling very anxious now and doesn't want to stay and bear the possible anger of Rong Ling, or some other messy emotions!led like orchids, with a hint of wine. He followed the scent of wine, his index finger gently touching her lips. Her thin lips moved closer, as if ready for a kiss.She giggled, looking at his enlarged...
