Young Mistress of a Wealthy Family

  "Endure!"

  Lin Meng suddenly woke up with a start, her heart racing, and hastily got up. Because she was too flustered, all her movements were unthinking. She abruptly stood up, the intense movement causing the pearl milk tea in her hand to slosh around, spilling out a lot of liquid. The slightly scalding sensation made Lin Meng, whose hands were already shaking, even more panicked, and she lost her grip on the cup, which fell onto the table. The milk tea splashed out, but fortunately only got on Lin Meng's clothes, leaving a few light brown stains on her waist. On the tabletop, the light brown liquid flowed slowly outward.

  Lin Meng let out a low cry of "ah", hastily stretched out her hand to pick up the teacup, then somewhat flusteredly stretched out her hand again to press against the tabletop, trying to stop the slowly spreading milk from sliding onto the floor.

  It was just a momentary thing, and the three men present didn't even have time to react properly. Seeing Lin Meng struggling there, the three men furrowed their brows at the same time.

  "Stop it!" Jiang Chengfeng said calmly, reaching out and grabbing Lin Meng's small hand, pulling her up. Although he was helping, this direct action of grabbing hands was too intimate, and what's more, it was in front of Rong Ling! Rong Ling narrowed his eyes, a gloomy look starting to appear, his heart filled with indignant anger at being offended!

  Lin Meng hastily withdrew her hand. The large palm of a man was different from that of a woman, the touch feeling wider and thicker, which made her heart skip a beat.

  Jiang Chengfeng naturally withdrew his hand and pressed the bell on the table. The waiter quickly walked over with a tray, saying softly: "Sir, miss, what can I do for you?"

  "Could you clean up this table?"

  The waitress nodded and very considerately changed seats for these few people.

  Lin Meng took the opportunity to immediately propose going to the bathroom. She deliberately raised her hands high and placed them in front of the three men. Her small white hands, with a light brown substance on them, were indeed not elegant. So, Jiang Porang and Jiang Chengfeng nodded. Rong Ling sat down stiffly, emotionlessly shouting: "Go quickly and come back quickly!"

  Lin Meng hastily nodded and hurriedly walked towards the bathroom with her slender legs.

  Jiang Chengfeng and Jiang Powang sat down opposite Rong Yun, with the two brothers sitting across from him.

  Rong Ling raised an eyebrow and looked at Jiang Chengfeng without any politeness, "Didn't you say you wanted to talk to me? What is it, just say it!"

  Jiang Chengfeng narrowed his eyes, looking at him with a hint of disdain - he shouldn't have come at this time. In other words, the timing of his arrival was so coincidental that it was almost unbelievable! So, putting aside the coincidence that made people sneer, it could only be that he had sent someone to follow him!

  No, that's not right. He and Rong Ling had no feud in the past and no grudge recently, he wouldn't send someone to specifically tail him. So, the person he might have tailed... could only be her!

  "Did you send someone to follow her?!" Jiang Chengfeng suddenly narrowed his eyes, looking at Rong Ling with a gloomy gaze. He was angry about Rong Ling's distrust and the means he used on that girl!

  Rong Ling let out a cold laugh. "She's my woman, I've had people secretly protecting her, what's wrong with that?! On the other hand, you're a judge, a high-ranking judicial officer, yet you're thinking of abducting someone else's woman, don't you think that behavior is shameful?!"

  Jiang Chengfeng's face suddenly sank. He knew that Rong Ling was not an easy person to deal with, and it seemed that he had a good business mind and excellent eloquence. After thinking for a moment, he relaxed his hands and feet, leaned lazily on the sofa chair, looked at Rong Ling, and burst out laughing. "Despicable?! How could it be despicable?! As a judicial officer, I have the duty to guide the misguided girls back to the right path. On the contrary, you, Rong Ling, as the president of the Asia Eastern Group, a dignified figure, openly keep an underage girl as your mistress. If this gets out, wouldn't it make people laugh their heads off? Does the Asia Eastern Group still want to save face?"

  "Are you threatening me?" Rong Ling raised an eyebrow. His long, black eyebrows were as sharp as a well-tempered sword. "Jiang Chengfeng, do you think I'm someone who can be intimidated?! If I dare to play this game, naturally I won't be afraid of people playing tricks behind my back! Or are you, as a high-ranking judge, planning to be the first one to play dirty?!"

  Jiang Chengfeng's smile grew even more radiant, but his eyes turned colder. "What can't be done?!" He directly provoked Rong Ling!

  Rong Ling burst out laughing, revealing a row of teeth, white and sparse, somewhat frightening, as if a wild beast craving to drink blood and tear flesh.

  "Then, I'm looking forward to it!" He didn't mind having another opponent! The more people there were, the more chaotic it would be, and that was even more fun! However, correspondingly, the price he wanted his opponents to pay also had to be higher!

  Jiang Chengfeng smiled along, but the fist placed at his side slowly clenched. To be honest, he didn't like the feeling of being overshadowed by others, and Rong Ling was one who could give him that feeling. The man in front of him seemed to not take anyone else seriously. Such arrogance and confidence, did he really think this world was under his control?!

  "I think it's better if you're not too confident," Jiang Chengfeng said coldly.

  Rong Ling didn't respond, only slightly raising an eyebrow, his sharp eyes staring straight at the back of Jiang Chengfeng. Behind him, Lin Meng's face was pale as she slowly approached.

  She really didn't want to get close to these three men. She had said it before, when Rong Ling got angry, he would be very terrifying. She knew that Rong Ling was angry, so she didn't want to bear the brunt of his anger directly. How much she wanted to hide in the bathroom and not come out. But Rong Ling had clearly seen through her little thoughts, and before she left, he specially warned her to hurry back. She lingered in the bathroom for a while, but as soon as she thought of Rong Ling's cold eyes on her when she said goodbye, her heart started racing and felt chilled. She could only steel herself and come over.

  Looking from afar, the three of them sat separately. She could also see Yun Ling's lips moving, as if saying something. There was no big fight, which made her let out a sigh of relief, fearing that another scene of Yun Ling and Xiao Yi fighting would appear again. But looking closer at Yun Ling's face, which showed neither joy nor anger, nor shade nor light, her heart still sank. Her temples tightened, hurting, because the situation was still not good!

  Sit!

  Rong Ling glanced at the seat next to him with his eyes, hinting for Lin Meng to sit down. Jiang Porang turned his head, just about to ask Lin Meng to sit beside him, but upon hearing this, he could only sullenly turn back around.

  Lin Meng bit her lip and sat down beside Rong Ling. Before she could even sit properly, Rong Ling suddenly turned around, grabbed her arm with one hand, lifted her chin with the other, lowered his head, and fiercely kissed her lips. Their lips met, as if a starving beast had finally found its coveted delicacy, and they began to devour each other recklessly, sucking and nibbling wildly.

  This series of actions was so skilled that it seemed like a flowing cloud and running water, as if they had practiced thousands of times.

  "Ah——" Lin Meng suddenly widened her eyes, staring blankly at the face that had enlarged before her. To this day, she still hadn't reacted, what...what did he want to do?!

  On the other side, Jiang Poran suddenly stood up, and Jiang Chengfeng also tensed up his body. Jiang Poran reached out to grab Rong Lin, but was caught by Jiang Chengfeng's outstretched hand. Jiang Chengfeng tightly grasped Jiang Poran's arm that was about to swing out, his icy voice almost forcing its way out from between his teeth, with a hint of gritting his teeth.

  "Sit down!"

  "But—" Jiang Boran's breathing was a bit urgent, his eyes wide with anger, staring at Rong Ling, as if he wanted to punch him flying. His legs were slightly bent, ready to fight, and his other hand was also itching to pounce on Rong Ling, to beat him to death - this damned man who did whatever he pleased. But Jiang Chengfeng's grip tightened, his voice even colder and deeper.

  "Sit down!" He growled, his voice taut like a bowstring about to snap. He rarely showed emotion, always wearing a smile on his face, effortlessly deflecting all attacks with an air of nonchalance. But now he was acting this way, it was clear that Rong Yun had pushed him to the limit, and he was furious!

  Jiang Boran was a little afraid of this brother, and he hummed angrily, sitting down heavily.

  Lin Meng was suddenly attacked by Rong Ling, and she was forced to follow his footsteps closely. Rong Ling's kiss was like a stormy rain, urgent and swift, Lin Meng felt her tongue being kissed until it was numb and sore, her head was dizzy, and her body naturally heated up and went crazy. But all of this shouldn't be happening in a place like this!

  She was about to protest and push Yongling away, but Yongling suddenly let go of her, turned around, and looked at Jiang Chengfeng with arrogance and disdain.

  "You're planning to use this to attack me, are you?!"

  His eyes were icy cold, without a hint of warmth, and he didn't fall into emotional turmoil at all. Jiang Chengfeng looked at Rong Ling's clear and cold eyes, and suddenly a huge anger surged up in his heart. Good, this Rong Ling was simply deliberately showing off and provoking him.

  "Luring underage girls, this crime, although it can be big or small, but in any case, I will make sure to let my brothers treat you well!"

  "Haha……" Rong Ling smiled lightly. "Do you think the police station is your family's property?! Even if it were your father, he might not dare to speak to me in this tone! Moreover, we must seek evidence for everything and also ask for the opinions of the parties involved! Lin Meng!"

  He turned his head, pinched Lin Meng's chin with his big hand, and kissed her lips intimately, making the red and swollen lip more crimson, asking: "Are you going to sue me?!"

  Lin Meng's small face, because of that sudden kiss earlier, had turned a lovely shade of pink. Anyone with eyes could see the flush on her cheeks, and this was all thanks to Rong Ling's doing. Rong Ling pinched Lin Meng's cheek, deliberately making her face the Jiang brothers, the mocking implication of which was already quite obvious.

  Lin Mengyi met the Jiang brothers' complex gaze and closed her eyes in shame. Having been kissed by Rong Ling in front of these two, she felt ashamed and didn't dare to show her face. Especially, not long ago, these two brothers were still helping her leave Rong Ling, and she had also roughly expressed her own intentions.

  Now, all the sandpits have been overturned and started again. What's unbearable for Lin Meng is that with such a self, what face will she have to face this pair of brothers who truly want to help her in the future?

  Rong Ling, how could she possibly sue him?!

  She shook her head and forcibly pulled open Rong Ling's hand that was pinching her chin. She lowered her head in embarrassment, not daring to look at the two Jiang brothers again, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, but let's just forget about my business!"

  It seems like our previous conversation can only become a farce now.

  "Sorry!" she muttered, all she could say anymore.

  Jiang Boran's eyes widened in surprise as he stared at Lin Meng, his face filled with disappointment.

  "How can you be like this?! This is about your future life, how can you compromise so easily. Tell me, did that bastard Rong Lin blackmail you?!"

  The river bursts forth with a heroic spirit!

  Lin Meng shook her head.

  Rong Ling glared at Jiang Po with a cold eye, his jaw clenched tightly, his anger bursting forth. How dare this kid say he "blackmailed" Lin Meng!

  "Kid, you can eat as much as you want, but don't talk nonsense!" Rong Ling's voice was icy to the extreme, his eyes had turned into a dark color without any brightness. "My woman, from inside out, belongs to me, you expect her to betray me, don't you think it's ridiculous and naive?! Kid, you're still young, just stay in school and be obedient, stop thinking about things you shouldn't be thinking about!"

  There's a hint of something, too sharp!

  Jiang Poran's face turned slightly red with anger and annoyance, instinctively sensing that his thoughts about Lin Meng might have been detected by the man in front of him. What made him even more annoyed was that compared to himself, the man in front of him was tall, mature, arrogant, and confident, with an aura that had been tempered by time and experience, which was simply not something that a young person like him who was still in school could match. Jiang Poran even felt that the man in front of him, Rong Ling, had already gained the upper hand in his confrontation with his own elder brother, whom he had always admired!

  What an annoying man!

  Jiang Boran cursed angrily in his heart, his eyebrows tightly knotted. Because no one wants to admit that they are inferior to others, especially men!

  Jiang Poran's face was twisted in anger, he fiercely lifted his leg and kicked the table leg, surprisingly making the heavy table move slightly. Lin Meng was shocked, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Jiang Poran. Her pure and gentle eyes saw that Jiang Poran's face was distorted, very frustrated, very depressed, and very suffocated!

  Lin Meng's heart was suddenly pricked by something, a sour pain, and she felt that it was her fault!

  What she is doing now seems to be a turtle that makes people feel ashamed and also makes herself feel ashamed.

  In my heart, there is a sorrowful coolness.

  She took a deep breath, suddenly let go, straightened her waist and neck, and placed her small hands on the table. Actually, after Rong Ling appeared, she had been afraid all along, and her small hands would tremble from time to time. Now she thought that if she put her hands openly on the table, under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes, she shouldn't be embarrassed to tremble, and the fear in her heart should also subside a bit.

  She turned her head, curled up her lips and smiled slowly. Facing the cold and gloomy eyes of Rong Ling, she didn't know how much courage it took her to do so.

  "Rong Ling, don't say that about Ah Lang. This matter... actually from start to finish, it's all my fault, and has nothing to do with Ah Lang or Jiang Ge!"

  At this moment, her words are exceptionally clear and pure in tone, like a clear spring hitting a huge rock.

  Rong Ling raised an eyebrow, surprised by Lin Meng's reaction at this moment. He thought that this girl who seemed weak and timid, at least on the surface, should be silent from head to toe after he made things difficult for her, pretending to be an ostrich...

  She... seemed to have brought him another surprise!

  "This is all because I'm muddled in the head. Ah Lang and Jiang Ge are both kind-hearted, they brought up that idea also because...also because my heart was wavering and they sensed my thoughts. As friends, Ah Lang and Jiang Ge both want me to live a better life, so maybe their methods were a bit overboard. But Rong Ling, you have to believe me, I absolutely won't sue you. Ah Lang...and Jiang Ge won't do that either!"

  "Right?!" Lin Meng turned her head, looking at Jiang Poran and Jiang Chengfeng, still smiling. But that smile, no matter how you looked at it, made the Jiang brothers feel heartbroken. And the silent plea revealed in Lin Meng's eyes was too much for the Jiang brothers to bear. These two brothers were absolutely not stupid, they knew exactly why Lin Meng said what she did - she was trying to make excuses for them. She... didn't want them to offend Rong Ling, did she?! This silly girl, was she using this method to make excuses for them?! Silly girl, silly girl, how could she be so foolish, did she really think they couldn't touch Rong Ling?!

  Okay

  Jiang Chengfeng lowered his eyes, and the black eyelashes covered the dimness that flashed in his eyes. However, Lin Meng did not want to prosecute Rong Ling, after all, they couldn't do anything to Rong Ling! In such a case, the most important thing is the testimony and attitude of the parties involved.

  Lin Meng said such words, there may be many reasons, but Jiang Chengfeng probably guessed that among these reasons, one of them must be because - Lin Meng is concerned about Rong Ling. Because she cares about him, she can say "Rong Ling, you have to believe me, I absolutely won't sue you"!

  It seems that the play is over!

  Jiang Chengfeng sneered at himself in his heart, so he said that he was not very willing to take action. Because some things, if delayed by a step, would be difficult to catch up with. And he seemed to have been late for more than just one step!

  She raised her eyes and Jiang Chengfeng was smiling warmly at Lin Meng, clearly agreeing with him, "Indeed, we wouldn't do that."

  "Big brother?!" Jiang Poran called out in a low voice, looking at Jiang Chengfeng with a complex expression. In fact, his mood was also very complicated, and his mind was now all tangled up. Big brother had said such words, he didn't know what to do next either!

  Jiang Chengfeng reached out and patted his younger brother's shoulder. He thought to himself, on the battlefield, victory or defeat is all about timing. Now, the timing isn't right, no matter what we do, it will only end in disappointment. It's better not to act, so as to avoid losing men and generals!

  "Come on, Xiaolang! Let's go!"

  Jiang broke the waves and slightly opened his mouth, at a loss and helpless. But seeing Jiang Chengfeng stand up, he also stood up with inertia, being gently pushed by Jiang Chengfeng, taking a few steps forward.

  Jiang Chengfeng turned around and smiled at Rong Lin again as he quickly walked out of the small teahouse. However, the smile did not reach his eyes.

  "Rong Ling, people should learn to cherish their blessings!"

  With that said, Jiang Chengfeng directly pulled Jiang Poran and left.

  Lin Meng's hand tightened, looking at the two people leaving, her eyes immediately turned sour. When she saw the two of them exit the store, her body went limp and fell down, as if all her strength had been drained away. Behind her, a pair of large male palms immediately reached out and gently picked her up.

  She didn't know what happened and suddenly shuddered!
