three hundred and twenty-five

porting on food safety, I reckon people wouldn't be living in such fear.Scoffing, Lin Meng tossed aside the newspaper. Recalling the photo of Zhu Yiyee plastered across the front page, and the media'...Chapter Name: 325

Ruan Chengyi and the others were not oblivious. After spending so long together, they could always sense something about Lin Meng's emotions. Moreover, the old man leaving such a beauty unattended while he remained overseas was also indicative of problems between them. If one said that Lin Meng was a cunning person, then perhaps it would be acceptable. Perhaps she could coax the old man around and make him willingly stay abroad. But, Lin Meng wasn't!

All her actions are really about elevating herself!

So, after the incident of "Who is Youyou's biological father" broke out, they became restless. Moreover, look at how Rong Ling was holding little Youyou, those two faces were simply ghostly similar, and even more hauntingly intimate. Just think about it with your toes, you know who Youyou's dad is!

Rong Ling, as a man, excels in every aspect. It would be child's play for him to seduce a woman. What they feared most was Lin Meng being abducted like this. So on the night the incident broke out, when Lin Meng wanted to speak, the three of them instinctively avoided her. However, this wasn't a long-term solution. The three brothers discussed it and decided, "Let's stop acting so sentimental and pretentious. We should quickly win over this woman, or if she runs away, what can we do" After all, this is the 21st century where divorce is commonplace. For a woman to leave a man, it's incredibly easy.

So that day, the three brothers each brought gifts home. There were some for Lin Meng, some for Youyou, of course, and some for Miao Qing. Little Haohao, who was also returning from school, couldn't be left out. After all, you love those around you, right The related ones, you always have to please them, lest Lin Meng be "bribed" by them!

This was the first big gift Lin Meng received after setting up camp in this house. She was truly taken aback. Who doesn't like gifts Who wouldn't be happy when receiving a present!

Lin Meng glared angrily. "What a fine day this is! What in the world are you doing!"

On his face, a smile arose. The little guy was also very happy, he loved receiving gifts at home the most, of course, the premise is that the gift giver has to be in his eyes! Although Xiao Haohuo didn't have much expression, from him back and forth looking at the beautifully packaged gift box, one could see the fluctuation in his heart! Miaoqing also smiled, inwardly, she was quite playful about this gift!

Ruan Chengyi is relatively quiet and taciturn. In this kind of situation, Ruan Chenghui, who has the potential to be a playboy, would be most suitable to answer.

"It's nothing, just thanking you for all your hard work these days, so we bought these. Hehe, actually, we should have bought them a long time ago!"

"It doesn't have to be so grand!" She even sent her a diamond necklace!

She gaped. "Too precious!"

"Not valuable, not valuable!" Ruan Chengan laughed with satisfaction. This was his gift, and he had wanted to give it to her for a long time. “My stepmother has put so much into this family, into the company, she deserves it!”

Then, with great tenderness, he took the necklace and was about to put it on Lin Meng. Lin Meng resisted, but she couldn't resist Ruan Chengyang's sincere gaze, so she lowered her hand and let him do as he pleased. The corner of Ruan Chengyang's mouth curled up, his smile resembling a sly cat who had caught its prey.

On one side, Ruan Chenghui watched, his heart feeling a little sour and jealous. However, he didn't dare to be so intimate because it would easily lead to more inappropriate thoughts! He would rather just watch this woman from a distance than see any other man's mark on her. Because her identity was already his stepmother, there was no way he could have anything with her. Therefore, what he couldn't get, he didn't want anyone else to get either!

This is great just the way it is!

The little boy was also happily tearing open his presents. Ruan Chengyang, like a big child, came forward to help out. Xiao Haohuo rubbed up against the little boy's side, asking the little boy to help him open his too. The little boy readily agreed. The three of them, one adult and two children, started playing. Others stood or sat watching the three of them play with smiles, occasionally chattering among themselves.

Because Nguyen Cheng Yi suggested going out for dinner tonight, the family doesn't need to cook at home this evening. Everyone just waits until it's almost time and then drives out together! But a group of uninvited guests just messed up the plans of the three Nguyen siblings!

"Cheng Yi, Cheng Yi!"

The voice of a middle-aged woman came from outside, loudly. The familiar tone quickly allowed Ruan Chengyi and the others to identify her as their aunt Liu Haomin!

What was she doing here at this time, could it be that she came to pay back the money!

The three brothers looked at each other, then turned their gazes outward.

"That Liu Haomin shouted loudly. "Hey, you, why are you blocking me I'm the mistress of this house! Cheng Yi, Cheng Hui, Cheng Yang, come out quickly and see who is standing outside! They are so ignorant, they even dare to block us!"

Then that means Fang Kun and Fang Meijia probably came too.

Outside, Ah Yi was guarding. He knew the Fang family and had previously clashed with Lin Meng, so Ah Yi directly ordered his subordinates to stop them! So Liu Haomin started making a fuss!

Ruan Chengyi frowned, then turned back to comfort Lin Meng. "You sit here and don't go anywhere else, I'll go outside and take a look!"

As soon as Ruan Chengyi came out, Liu Haomin called out even louder.

"Cheng Yi, please tell them to let me in! What kind of people are these They have no manners at all!"

So, she's making a big scene outside the door and that's considered proper Jiang Chengfeng came to look for Lin Meng and was also stopped. He only got in after calling Lin Meng. How could Liu Haomin not know to call instead, she had to make such a loud fuss, letting the neighbors see!

Ruan Chengyi felt a bit displeased. He actually didn't like women who were like shrewish nagging wives. Perhaps it was because he hadn't paid much attention to this before, but after spending time with Lin Meng and her son these days, his aesthetic preferences had become more apparent.

"Aunt, are you here to pay back the money!"

Liu Haomin shrugged, her middle-aged face appearing somewhat dim and blurry in the night. She didn't respond, and Fang Meijia hurriedly chirped back. "Chengyi ge, yes, we are here to repay the money. Please let us in."

"Liu Haomin seemed to have just woken up from a dream, following suit and agreeing. "Right right, you hurry and let us in, is there any reason to keep elders outside the house Your mother didn't teach you that, did she!"

Mentioning his deceased mother was a sensitive topic, and it caused Ruan Chengyi to furrow his brows again. However, he still gave the go-ahead for them to enter. Ah Yi, on the other hand, signaled to one of his men with his eyes and made a gesture. The subordinate understood, nodded, and silently moved towards the door. If Fang Kun's family dared to be disrespectful again, they would be directly kidnapped and thrown out!

But Fang Kun's family, how could they really be returning the embezzled money! It's like sending charcoal in winter, and even more so because Fang Kun's family isn't particularly pleasant to deal with on a daily basis. Now that they're broke and have been kicked out by Guangda, who would dare lend them money if they knew the situation Besides, deep down, Fang Kun's family wants to keep this money!

As soon as she stepped into the room, Liu Haomin first took out a thick bundle wrapped in newspapers from her bag and placed it before Ruan Chengyi. Without lingering on this, she shifted her gaze directly to Lin Meng, saying sarcastically,

“I wonder what your father was thinking, marrying a woman like this and having her carry another man’s child. Your father is truly a flirt, but he's utterly cold towards your mother. I wonder if your mother in the afterlife is crying again!”

The faces of the three brothers, namely Ruan Chengyi, all grew somber.

Ruan Chengyi glanced at the thick bundle of newspapers, figuring there were quite a few inside. He didn't want Liu Haomin to stay any longer and directly started shooing him away.

"Auntie, it's nothing, you guys should just go back first. We're going out for dinner later!"

"Dinner! Together!"

"Liu Hao Min screamed dramatically. "At a time like this, you guys still have the mood to go eat You, Ruan Cheng Yi, you, Ruan Cheng Hui, you, Ruan Cheng Yang, are the three of you drugged Even like this, you're going out to eat with this woman! Haven't you seen what the newspaper says This woman's child—"

"Shut up!" Ruan Chengyi growled.

Liu Haomin, harboring ill intentions to humiliate Lin Meng, couldn't keep silent and retorted, "That child isn't your brother at all! Why are you defending him so fiercely Your father has already been completely manipulated by this daughter. Now, even you are being blinded by her! Remember, that child isn't from the Ruan family. In the future, your company could very well be swallowed up by this woman. Your mother, if she knew about this, would definitely be heartbroken!"

Ruan Chengyang glared coldly at Liu Hao min, his voice chilling. "Auntie, don't bring our mother into this. This has nothing to do with you anymore. Just leave!"

"Cheng Yang Ge, how dare you speak to me like that!" Fang Meijia snapped, her originally pretty face contorting into something ugly. "Lan Yi told you all before she had an accident, to listen to my mother, don't you remember!"

All three were stunned.

Liu Hao Min was immediately pleased with herself and retorted, "Or are you all just forgetting your poor mother You've all sided with this woman! She's the newcomer! Your brother-in-law should have been there for your sister, but in the end, she ruined everything. How can you protect her like this Stand on her side!"

Sānzi simultaneously pursed their lips, their face looking rather unpleasant.

"My sister suddenly had such an incident. I'm your aunt, and before your mother passed away, I was closest to her among all of you. For the three of you, I should take good care of you, so that your mother's soul can rest in peace. Regarding some things, I shouldn't interfere too much, but for important matters, I cannot just stand by and do nothing! This woman--"

She raised her hand, extended a finger, and pointed it fiercely at Lin Meng. "This woman cannot stay in this house any longer. Your father must divorce her. The Ruan family can't afford such humiliation!"

"Oh, what humiliation!" Lin Meng smiled faintly and coldly retorted.

"Shut up, I'm talking here, what do you have to say!"

“What do you think you are!” Lin Meng slowly stood up, looking down at Liu Haomin arrogantly. “Since you know some things are none of your business, shouldn’t you just stay home peacefully Now, you run to other people's homes and make a fuss about what!”

“You—you—” Liu Haomin was dumbfounded by Lin Meng’s sharpness for the first time. She flushed red with anger. “You despicable vixen, you…how dare you speak to me like that!”

"All beings are equal!" Lin Meng said coldly.

Liu Haomin was suddenly speechless.

Fan Meijia hurriedly stepped forward, supporting her mother and said quickly, "My mother is your elder sister! In terms of seniority, she should be above you. How can you be so rude!"

"Oh, is that so Then I'm on the same level as your mother, and you, a junior, jumping out to interrupt and question me, how polite!"

Fang Meijia's face flushed red immediately, biting her lip. She stubbornly retorted, "You're not even as big as me, and you want to be my elder Dream on! My mother didn't humiliate you; it was you who got pregnant before marriage, stole someone, and schemed your way into marrying my uncle. You—you are simply shameless!"

Lin Meng's face instantly fell!

Fang Meijia began to laugh triumphantly.

"That's enough!" Ruan Chengyi couldn't bear it any longer and drove them away.

"Wait!" Lin Meng spoke up, stopping Fang Meijia and directly asking her, "I ask you, Miss Fang, how many men have you had"

Fang Meijia was stunned for a moment, and then her face flushed red with shame.

"You――you――" When it came to such a sensitive issue, she suddenly became weak and helpless!

Lin Meng smiled coldly. As expected, she was right. A student from an arts school, especially one who majored in acting and had acted in some roles, must have many connections in the industry!

Miss Fang isn't even chaste herself and yet she dares to mock others, how ridiculous! Besides, there are so many people who get in the car first and buy the ticket later these days. How is that shameless of me! Even being an unwed mother isn't particularly disgraceful, is it I stand upright, walk straight, and haven't harmed society in any way. Where do you have the right to criticize me! It seems Miss Fang has really gotten into character, spouting outdated feudalistic principles from a hundred years ago! But since you hold yourself to such standards, aren't you――"

She gave Fang Meijia a condescending once-over. "Isn't that right You should lead by example first. That way, when you're lecturing others, you'll have more standing."e in charge of contacting you! Just wait for my call then!"“That's not very appropriate, is it” the man said urgently. “We know Miss He’s character, so we could accept payment afterward. But if you ch...
