elf: "I'm an orphan, raised by the Rong family. The Rong family raises a certain number of orphans every year, and among these orphans, those who are more outstanding will be chosen to work for the Ro..."How smug!" she hummed, not giving him any credit.

"Don't deny it!" he chuckled, teasing her. "Don't you admit you're dumb! Don't you plan to be grateful to me!"

She remained silent because she didn't know how to respond. That period was too dark; she knew her state was terrible and had no idea where to begin.

He scolded her in a low voice. "Heartless little thing!"

She wouldn't yield, retorting, "You heartless brute!"

"Sharp teeth and a sharp tongue, huh!"

She immediately bared her teeth menacingly, as if to confirm his words!

He really wanted to hold her in his arms and rub her gently. Just imagining this little woman getting all sassy, that look on her face, it would be simply adorable!

"There you go, happy now!"

A smile lit up her face, and she no longer intentionally provoked him. She happily hummed in response.

"When, oh when, will my heart find peace!"

"Ugh!"

"Divorce!" he shouted, reminding her!

She impulsively asked him, "Since I'm divorced now, will you marry me right away" But her rationality stopped her from finishing the question. After all, while this man treated her well and showed genuine affection, there was still a distance between that and actually marrying her!

"Almost there!" she could only reply.

The man snorted coldly.

She immediately added, "It's really almost time, I swear, this time it really is almost time!"

She is looking for the right time to talk to Ruan Chengyi and his group!

He couldn't keep dwelling on this childishly, so he changed the subject and instructed her over the phone not to run around and to wait for him to come back.

Although these words were similar to what she had said last night, this time when she heard them, her heart felt especially comfortable!

Turning back, she saw the little boy frowning as she carried the fruit tray upstairs.

"What's wrong!" she was a little worried.

"Mommy, I just called my godfather, but I couldn't get through!"

He had to gather his courage before making the call. Then, he was very excited, but after two calls went unanswered, he became very discouraged!

Lin Meng blushed at his words, feeling a little guilty. She replied, "It's probably because your godfather is busy. You can call him again in a while, and you should be able to get through!"

She called Rong Ling, but she didn't expect the little one on the other end to call too. She had taken up Little Treasure's line, how guilty!

"What should I say to my godfather on the phone!" she asked curiously.

The little guy chuckled, his ears reddening again. He shook his head and remained silent.

Little one, you have your own little secrets now!

Go wash your hands, then come back and eat some fruit. When you're done, call your godfather!

"Oh!" the little boy happily responded and ran to wash his hands. After he came back, he ate a beautiful meal, then ran to wash his hands again and called Rong Ling.

"Mommy, still no one answered!" the little guy frowned, looking quite frustrated.

This is the third time!

The little guy's mood was low again!

Lin Meng smiled. "We can fight later. Don't worry, your godfather is abroad; he definitely has a lot of things to keep him busy. I guess when your godfather finishes his current tasks and sees your call log, he will take the initiative to call you!"

The little guy thought about it and nodded in agreement!

Then he went over and picked up a book, nestled beside Lin Meng and started reading.

"Mommy, I'll call my godfather back later!" The little guy didn't believe in bad luck anymore. Somehow the phone always went through.

Lin Meng hummed in response, then went to grab a small fluffy cushion and spread it out. She let the little one sit on top of it, so they could be softer and more comfortable, and also to prevent them from feeling the cold floor.

The little boy looked at the book for a while, then suddenly tugged at Lin Meng's pants leg a bit sheepishly.

"What's wrong!" Today's little baby seems a bit shy and introverted!

"Mommy, you said, you said..." The little boy flipped through the book in his hand haphazardly, looking a bit nervous. "You said, Uncle... he... does he like Youyou very much! Would he... would he let Youyou call him Daddy"

Lin Meng's heart ached. This child, although he usually seemed like a little devil who was particularly sensible, at his core, he was still just a child!

She immediately dropped the sweater and knitting needles in her hands, sat down on the cushion beside him, holding the little one in her arms. She gently hugged him, her palm skillfully grasping his small hand and gently kneading it.

"Youyou, don't worry, Godfather loves you very much, very much! Godfather definitely likes it when Youyou calls him Daddy. But Youyou—"

Lin Meng kissed the little boy's face. "Mommy had some things happen with your godfather before she gave birth to you, and then Mommy married your current father, so that's why your dad doesn't let you call him 'Dad.' But, Youyou, your godfather really, really likes you. You see, your godfather is actually a very domineering and arrogant person. He doesn't like people, he won't even look at them, let alone be as close to you as this. Look, how good your godfather is to you, taking you to eat delicious food, taking you to have fun, and even arranging various lessons for you. These are things that ordinary children can't get."

The most important thing is, your godfather also took you to meet those uncles. Mommy told you, when Mommy first met your godfather, your godfather didn't take Mommy to meet your uncles! Yoyo, the adult world is a little complicated, it's just that if you become very important to me, I will introduce you to my good friends and brothers, your godfather is like that!

So, Youyou, don't worry and don't overthink it. Your godfather loves you very, very much, just like Mommy does! No matter what happens between me and your godfather in the end, you will always be our little treasure, the most important one! In a while, call your godfather with confidence. You can even call him "Dad" directly. He'll definitely be very happy!

Since things have come to this, that man is still so coldly calling him "daddy" for the sake of the little one, he's angry! Then, he just isn't the Rong Ling she wants!

The little boy nodded and hummed softly, a cute smile appearing on his face.

Lin Meng looked over, a smile also on her face. "Yoyo, Mommy will read you a storybook for a while first, okay After I finish reading, maybe Daddy's side will be finished!"

"Well, okay!"

The little one immediately found a comfortable spot nestled in Lin Meng's arms, then spread out the storybook on their lap and pointed at a page with their tiny finger.

"Mommy, I want to hear this one, Little Teek and his Bear Friends!"

Lin Meng took the book, glanced over it briefly, pondered for a moment, and then began to speak in a soft voice.

Rong Ling didn't answer the little boy's phone call because he was delayed. Just as Lin Meng had just hung up, a call from Ruan Cangsheng came in.

"Give me your email address, and I'll send you something!"

"What is this!" Rong Ling instinctively resisted. He had no good feelings towards this old man!

"You'll love it if you watch it. If not, you'll definitely regret it!"

"Such a big mouth!" Rong Ling let out a cold snort, but still gave Ruan Cangsheng an email address.

Ruan Cangsheng said again, "At the computer, open it up and have a look!"

Rong Ling narrowed his eyes, his mouse clicking rapidly on his laptop before entering the email. There wasn't a single word in the email, only an attached picture. He clicked it open, and his pupils contracted sharply.

What else could it be if it's not a divorce certificate written in English with "Ruan Cangsheng" and "Lin Meng" on it

He leaned forward suddenly, instinctively leaning closer to examine the divorce certificate photocopy carefully. When he finally saw that the date on it was about half a year ago, precisely the day Lin Meng returned home, his heart surged with a huge wave of emotion!

That day was deeply etched in his mind, a memory he would never forget.

That old fox, he's actually being so secretive!

Rong Ling suddenly frowned.

When Lin Meng just returned to the country, he was caught. He quickly investigated her and infiltrated the computer system in America, discovering that she was indeed married. So, he repeatedly found Old Ruan, asking him to be reasonable and let her go. But who would have thought, now another divorce certificate has popped up!

"What do you mean!" His sharp mind raced, and as he spoke, he already had a hunch.

Ruan Cangsheng smiled at the other end. "What, you're not happy to see such a result! Didn't you always want this Could it be that I was being presumptuous this time!"

"You should know I've been checking on you!"

"Don't investigate me, you aren't even qualified to!" Ruan Cang snorted and retorted back at Rong Ling, but he didn't get genuinely angry. "Do you think I gave you forged things!"

"You've been through so much wind and rain, you shouldn't be doing such foolish things!" Rong Ling didn't hide the mockery, even though, in this regard, Ruan Cangsheng was somewhat capable.

He laughed again, this time at her. He liked dealing with intelligent people. And this man was not only intelligent, but also capable enough to provide a secure future for that little woman. He liked that even more.

As you said, at my age and with all the experiences I've had, I naturally still have some abilities. A system can be both dead and alive. Money, power, connections – if used in the right places, they can make a system bend to your will, die or live as you please. But written words on paper are lifeless. Once they're stamped and sealed, they become effective!

That is to say, Ruan Cangsheng has this ability to make the system follow his ideas first. As long as he doesn't show his divorce certificate on this end, then no matter who checks the relationship between him and Lin Meng, it will be in a married state. But now he showed this divorce certificate, which gave Rong Ling great convenience. Rong Ling only needs to bring this photocopy, with his abilities, he can completely let the American system modify Ruan Cangsheng and Lin Meng's relationship! At that time, on the American side, at most they would find some excuses like "system error, employee dereliction of duty" to cover up their mistakes. Anyway, the divorce certificate was issued to people, which is considered to have fulfilled the basic responsibilities, so this matter is not a big deal!

Rong Ling pursed her lips and cut to the chase, asking, "Why say it now! What do you want!"

"Young man, don't be nervous!" Ruan Cang said after a pause, with a smile. "There's nothing here that I'm interested in plotting. I'm showing you these as a courtesy, you see Dream Dream is fond of you, and you are Youyou's biological father! You're a decent guy, haven't tormented Dream Dream to the point of death again this time. From what I can see, among all the men around her, you're the best choice."

She's naive and only thinks about arranging a good retirement for me, this old man. She expects my three sons to take me home, but she hasn't seriously planned for herself. I'm at this age, some things I've already let go of, some things I don't care about anymore. I truly treat her as my own daughter. These past four years, with her company and little Youyou, I've truly enjoyed the father-daughter and grandfather-grandson relationships. I am grateful and content!

About domestic matters, I've always been keeping an eye on things. Now that we've reached this point, I can't let that foolish girl be taken advantage of. I'm showing you this to give you a head start. If you truly want her, act quickly. Don't keep thinking she's unappealing. Plenty of people want her; they're not fools either. Anyone with eyes can see her beauty. Just think about the past four years in America – many tried to take advantage of her, but I always found a way to stop them. Now, there are plenty more eager individuals around her back home as well!

Ruan Cangsheng let out a complacent chuckle, his voice brimming with pride. It seemed as though it was his own daughter who had captured the fervent attention of all the men present. This air of familial pride and satisfaction irked Rong Ling!

First, it was his wife, now it's his daughter. This old geezer sure has a big appetite! He let her take advantage of him so much already, and this old scoundrel still wants to get involved with Mengmeng!

On one hand, he thought coldly in his heart, on the other hand, Ruan Cangsheng continued: "Rong Ling, someone like you should be very clear about what you want. I'm giving you a chance in advance, see if you can grasp it! Let me tell you, even though I'm old, I still have some influence in front of Mengmeng. If you really don't want to or don't want to grasp it, then rest assured, I will find someone else for her who is not much worse than you!"

Rong Ling raised an eyebrow coldly and said, "You'd better rest for now. Don't bother yourself with future matters!"

"So, you would marry her!"

"I said, 'My business with her is none of your concern!'"

"Young people, don't be so arrogant!"

Rong Ling let out a cold snort, his eyes narrowed slightly, with two sharp beams of light flashing in them.

With a heavy sigh, he showed no mercy whatsoever and called out his name directly: "Ruan Cangsheng, don't think that because you gave me this, I will remember your favor and obediently follow your instructions. Let me tell you, Mengmeng is my woman. Even without what you just showed me, you should let go. You have to let go. The reason why I haven't made a move against you is because of Mengmeng's face. Don't think you are that powerful! You should be thankful that you weren't stupid enough to wait until later and do this, otherwise, I would make you regret it!"

He had already made up his mind. When Lin Meng left the Ruan family, he would take revenge on them. Lin Meng's husband's title, that Ruan Cangsheng thought he could just take over so easily !

Ruan Cangsheng was stunned for a moment, speechless for a while!

He never expected that after giving this thing away, Rong Ling would be grateful or not. He didn't expect much from that, but the fact that he could threaten him back was simply too arrogant!

"Your position right now isn't stable!" Ruan Cangsheng shot him a reminder.

No one would want someone to be so arrogant in front of them!

Rong Ling let out a cold snort, becoming even more arrogant. "Whether it's stable or not, it's all up to my thoughts!"

Ruan Cangsheng was stunned!

This person --

Ruǎncāngshèng is also the one who developed a small company into one that serves multinational corporations. He's not so senile that he wouldn't understand the hidden meaning in Rónglíng's words. This man, could he actually have such abilities!

Ruan Cangsheng narrowed his eyes suddenly. It seemed that there was still a mistake in his investigation!

Upon second thought, Ruan Cangsheng let it go. After all, he had been abroad for many years and was somewhat out of touch with domestic affairs; the Rong family members were so close to Rong Ling, each one capable and skilled, yet they hadn't figured out Rong Ling's true nature. How could he possibly have that capability

He really underestimated this man!

Since this man is so strong, what he's doing now, is it right or wrong!

It's because Rong Ling's current position is a bit unstable, and also because something exploded over there with Lin Meng in the country, so he felt it was time, so he sent Rong Ling these contents. He expected that Rong Ling now needs help, and their Ruan family can help Rong Ling at this time. If Lin Meng gets divorced, she will basically be powerless. He is afraid that she will suffer too much at that time, so if they can help Rong Ling with this favor, then when Lin Meng marries Rong Ling later, she probably won't suffer as much. In this marriage, she will probably have more say!

Now it seems quite different!

This man is incredibly confident, as if the entire situation revolves around his word!

This…this…this---

Ruan Cangsheng's old face creased, and as worry began to cloud his brow, his mind raced. He couldn't afford to show mercy to Rong Ling now. Some men, by their very nature, were arrogant. If you showed them mercy, you would only be looked down upon, and it might even stir up their rebelliousness and anger! You tell him to go east, and perhaps he will stubbornly choose to go west!

Besides, judging from Rong Ling's meaning, this man is planning to deal with their Ruan family in the future! If he were still in his prime and in power, he would have confidence in fighting this man. But now that the company is in such a state, and although the three sons at home have made progress, they are nowhere near Rong Ling's opponent!

It seems like the previous plans need to be revised!

"I'll show you something else!" Ruan Cangsheng gritted his teeth and got up to work on his computer. This time, he was no longer hiding anything. He directly sent Rong Ling his medical records and all the agreements he had signed with Lin Meng from beginning to end.

"Have a good look at this!"

Rong Ling took her phone and quickly glanced through the photos one by one. At the same time, she knew that this should be all of Ruan Cangsheng's cards laid bare.

“As for Mengmeng, you can rest assured that I have no ill intentions. Rong Ling, I show you these not out of weakness, but to make it clear that me, our Ruan family, and you are absolutely not enemies. In this world, having one more friend is always stronger than having one more enemy!”

I also want to tell you, this world doesn't belong to you. There are people stronger than you, and there are things beyond the sky. You are strong, but our Ruan family isn't weak either. If we fight each other, neither of us will come out on top! Besides, this would only hurt Mengmeng who is caught in the middle!

Most importantly, I want to tell you, if you want a dream marriage, you need to take action and treat her well. A woman, so young, left her home for you and gave birth to children for you; in order to be better suited to you and stand by your side, she was willing to give up a comfortable and wealthy life and chose to go to university to pursue a degree, even one that many men would find difficult – finance. For these four years, she has remained loyal to you, rejecting the advances of other men. So don't take her sincerity for granted and treat it like dirt under your feet.

International and domestic news communication is not easy. Can you imagine her sneaking online to print out all the reports about you, then secretly cutting them up and making a book Can you understand that four years later, when she could have been self-sufficient, living well, even marrying a rich man and becoming a wealthy wife, she still brought Yoyo back to the country knowing she would be noticed by you, even risking everything

Tolerance, this woman isn't materialistic! Yes, you are good enough, but being excellent doesn't necessarily make one a good husband! Many people could be her husband! But there must be something about you that touched her, so much that even when she was forced to leave, she still wants to come back to you!

She likes you, and I like you too, willing to make things work for both of you! To be honest with you, I can still hold on for a few years. I can completely let her be my nominal wife for a few more years! But this woman is truly good, I genuinely care for her, and I'm willing to give her happiness and make her happy!

"I've made myself clear. You just do it! If you can't give her what she wants, I won't stand by and watch her get mistreated by you! Hmph—"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Ruan Cangsheng finally threw out these words with all his might. Perhaps because he became too excited as he spoke, his breathing became noticeably rapid, and then he began to cough violently.

Rong Ling raised an eyebrow, and continued to mock him nonchalantly. "You old geezer, calm down a bit! At your age, you should control your emotions better. You might die of anger prematurely!"

"You..." Ruan Cangsheng fell silent, his anger evident. He couldn't help but sigh, this man was so cold and heartless. It was truly difficult for Lin Meng to tolerate him with her gentle nature!

To fall in love with this man, I'd have to work so hard!

I was truly annoyed. Ruan Cangsheng didn't say another word before hanging up the phone! If this had happened during his prime, he would have fought tooth and nail against such an opponent! But once the anger subsided, he shook his head. He was a man of unwavering composure, yet that man, with just a few words, had stirred his emotions so easily. Just this power alone demonstrated the man's strength! To fight him to the death... well, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough.

I also hope that in the end, Lin Meng will be able to tame this unruly steed!

That old man, he talks tough, but in reality, he's only offering help from the sidelines! When it comes to matters of the heart, fundamentally speaking, it's always between two people!g of being threatened, controlled by someone, was really unpleasant. What made it worse was that the one threatening him was a young woman, a woman he could crush with one hand, and yet, dammit, he wa...
