fluttered like a leaf blown by the cold wind, falling off the table in disarray. She looked as if she felt a little better, then stepped forward, stepping on the photograph with a sense of venting he...Jiang Cheng rode the wind and did not go to Rong Ling as expected, instead, he took Lin Meng to a strange residence. This was arranged by him early in the morning, so Rong Ling's people repeatedly struck out.

He harbored the intention of hiding Lin Meng. During this time, he would focus all his efforts on dealing with Rong Jia and Rong Ling. When Rong Ling fell, he could openly bring Lin Meng to the public eye.

The numbers on the elevator display blinked at position 17 before stopping. Jiang Chéngfēng pulled Lin Mèng out, swiped his card, and opened the door, leading her inside.

This house was very unfamiliar to Lin Meng. She had never been here before, but she wouldn't think too much about it. This was Jiang Chengfeng, wasn't it She trusted him.

The house was clean and bright, the windows shining. She thought this might be another one of his residences, she just glanced around briefly and lost interest. Her mood was terrible after all. But Jiang Chengfeng suddenly appeared and pulled her here, must have something to say. These days, she mostly stayed at home, actually hiding from him, afraid that seeing him would leave her torn. But this constant avoidance wasn't a solution either.

Trying to push her bad mood aside, she was pressed onto the sofa by Jiang Chengfeng and sat down. After a slight smile, she looked up and asked him.

"Brother Jiang, is there something you need from me"

"How can you still smile" Jiang Chengfeng was somewhat angry. "After seeing the two people hugging, how can you still smile"

She was slightly surprised, not understanding how he knew. But considering his appearance was such a coincidence and with the way he'd invited her to leave, she couldn't refuse. She let it go, so there was no need to pretend anymore.

"So you knew all along then" She sighed softly, her heart filled with bitterness and anger.

"Rong Ling and Li Lan Qiu have been together for a long time. Three days ago, Li Lan Qiu swallowed medicine and committed suicide, but was rescued by the hospital. Rong Ling rushed over and stayed with her. That night, he kept her company!"

Dropping this news was like a bomb. Jiang Chengfeng turned and went to the kitchen to get Lin Meng some juice to cool down, giving her a little time to digest this bombshell.

“Here.” Jiang Chengfeng opened the lid of the juice and pushed it in front of Lin Meng. But Lin Meng didn’t have the heart to drink it at all. Three days ago, wasn’t that the night Rong Ling hadn't come back She thought he was delayed by family matters, or even worried that Rong Feiwu had hurt Rong Ling again, but it turned out she was thinking too much. He went to apologize to another woman, the one named Li Lanqiu. And the worst part was, he didn't say anything. He just kept it a secret from her.

"Did you hear what I just said" Jiang Chengfeng asked.

Lin Meng shook his head honestly.

Jiang Chengfeng let out a cold snort. "As I expected. After that, Rong Ling ran to the hospital whenever he had free time, going in and out with Li Lanqiu, never trying to hide it. Moreover, they were very affectionate towards each other. To others, the two of them looked like an unmarried couple. Do you know all this"

Lin Meng still shook her head.

Jiang Cheng snorted again, his voice cold. "Before this, you didn't know anything, did you"

Besides shaking his head, what else can Lin Meng do!

She was hurt!

It's too much! It's so mean!

Jiang Cheng's face darkened as he spoke in a venomous voice. "As I suspected, he has been hiding this from you all along!"

Catching sight of Lin Meng's hurt expression, Jiang Chengfeng sat beside her and grabbed her hand with a very heavy grip.

"Mengmeng, you saw things with your own eyes this time. You should finally understand Rong Ling's true nature, right (..tw無彈窗廣告) I told you a long time ago that man wasn't worthy of your devotion, but you didn't believe me and insisted on marrying him. Now look, just look!"

Lin Meng bit her lip, her eyes turning cold.

Jiang Chengfeng very suddenly reached out and touched Lin Meng's watch. When Lin Meng was a little surprised and puzzled, he took off her watchband.

"Brother Jiang"

"You don't need this!"

He took out a small toolkit from his pocket and started dismantling the watch. Lin Meng naturally wanted to stop him.

What are you doing

"You don't need to stay by Rong Ling any longer, this watch will bind you!"

In reality, it was this watch that would lead Rong Ling to her. He didn't know why Rong Ling had gotten close to Li Lanqiu again, but he had never underestimated Lin Meng's status in Rong Ling's heart; otherwise, he wouldn't have watched helplessly as she married Rong Ling. For Lin Meng, he had made way for her and Rong Ling once, but since Rong Ling had betrayed their marriage, he would take back that concession. No matter what kind of feelings Rong Ling had for Lin Meng now, he wouldn't let Lin Meng return to Rong Ling's side, nor would he allow Rong Ling to find her.

Before he planned to take Lin Meng away, he naturally did his due diligence. The watch on Lin Meng's wrist absolutely could not be left behind.

Lin Meng frowned, not quite understanding Jiang Chengfeng's words. But this watch was her connection to her son; she couldn't let Jiang Chengfeng destroy it like this.

"Brother Jiang, no!"

Jiang Cheng rode the wind, annoyance rising in his heart. "Given this situation, you still hold hope for Rong Ling"

"What" His strange words several times really left her confused.

Jiang Cheng looked at her sternly. "Wearing this, Rong Ling will find you. Are you still trying to let Rong Ling find you by stopping me"

"No, it's Youyou..." She instinctively argued back, but something about Jiang Chengfeng's words felt off. After carefully recalling what Jiang Chengfeng had just said and what he was about to do, a shiver ran down her spine.

"Brother Jiang, what do you mean"

Jiang Cheng, with a gust of wind, shattered the watch's circuit system. He felt as if he had accomplished a great feat, finally able to relax slightly. Without this, how could Rong Ling find someone when the time came!

"In Rongling's place, you shouldn't go back. A person like him doesn't deserve to be with you."

Lin Meng's heart skipped a beat, her brow furrowed. Looking at Jiang Chengfeng who said this, the fleeting ruthlessness on his face made her heart suddenly feel cold.

"Brother Jiang, I'm very angry, but I can't just walk away. I need to understand the truth about this."

"You don't have to worry about that. I'll investigate the truth for you."

Lin Meng's heart began to race. This unfamiliar and overly tidy house made her feel restless. Moreover, the flashing number 17 in the elevator just now also made her feel threatened. 17, it represented that she was currently on the seventeenth floor!

"I have to go back." she said, her voice a little dry.

But Jiang Chengfeng coldly rejected her.

"Just stay here, you are not allowed to go anywhere, until the storm outside passes!"

"Brother Jiang!" Lin Meng couldn't help but shout. Doesn't he know what he's doing!

A deep anxiety spread across her face. Looking at Jiang Chengfeng, her eyes also held a hint of hurt.

Jiang, feeling the weight of her gaze, couldn't bear it any longer. He dejectedly ran his hand through his hair and sighed.

"Mengmeng, don't look at me like that. I'm doing this for your own good! Rong Ling is with Li Lanqiu now. What are you going back for Li Lanqiu is Rong Ling's first love. He loves her from head to toe. You go back, wouldn't that be humiliating yourself"

But she didn't believe it!

Lin Meng squeezed his fist tightly.

She didn't believe it, Rong Ling didn't love her!

She and he had been through so much, only to finally be together. She didn't believe she could lose to that Li Lanqiu. She also didn't believe Rong Ling would be such a frivolous man, able to casually say the word "love". He had said it to her with his own lips, he loved her. He had even looked at her with such intense passion not long ago, making her promise to stay by his side forever.

Rong Ling stood with Li Lanqiu. He had been terribly unkind by not protecting her at that time and by not leaving with her. However, this shouldn't cause her to completely give up the love she had fought so hard to win back and the marriage she had built. Even if they had reached the most heartbreaking point of parting ways, she would make it clear and transparent. She wouldn't let anyone else handle this for her!

Not to mention, the matter between Rong Ling and Li Lanqiu felt strange. Rong Ling's behavior after returning that night also made her firmly believe that there must be something hidden behind it!

"Brother Jiang, I need to get to the bottom of what happened between Rong Ling and Li Lanqiu. That's why I have to go back!"

Jiang Cheng frowned, about to say something, but Lin Meng made a shushing gesture before he could.

“Brother Jiang, I know you're doing this for my own good, but please hear me out. If I go back, I absolutely won't humiliate myself. I am Rong Ling's legal wife now, and I have the law protecting me. If Rong Ling truly does something to wrong me, it will be him who is humiliated. You must trust that I have the ability to make him bankrupt over this, and Li Lanqiu will become the object of everyone’s scorn. You were a judge, so you know those legal procedures better than I ever could. Besides, I can't just abandon Yoyo.”

She looked at Jiang Chengfeng sincerely.

"So, Brother Jiang, I have to go back."

But Jiang Chengfeng wouldn't let her go back. This was a rare opportunity, and if it were missed, it would be very difficult to find another one.

"You want to see Youyou, and I'll definitely bring Youyou here so you two can be together. But, I can't let you go back. Rong Ling is a man of many words, cunning and sly. If you go back, there's a high chance he'll deceive you again. Back then, when we talked about getting revenge on Xiao Lang, you definitely had that intention. However, after you returned, your resolve gradually weakened, and in the end, you didn't do anything at all. This is precisely because Rong Ling's words are so persuasive, he kept confusing and persuading you time and time again. He operates with utmost secrecy, completely blocking any way for me to talk to you again or even see you. This man is truly formidable!"

Lin Meng was speechless for a moment. As for what Jiang Chufeng had said after he got carried away by the wind, she didn't know.

Jiang Chengfeng said again, "If you go back, he will probably coax and deceive you again, making you blindly trust him and stand on his side. Then the outside world will change drastically, and you won't even know! Think carefully for yourself, these days, have you basically been staying at home What has happened outside, don't you even know"

"This..." This seems to be, but it isn't!

Jiang Chengfeng let out a hum. "This is just a veiled form of house arrest. Rong Ling is quite the cunning one, isn't he Just you wait, if you go back this time, Rong Ling will definitely confine you again, and you won't be able to leave. Then, he and Li Lanqiu will have a good time together, while you're stuck at home, knowing nothing!"

I don't think this is enough to scare Lin Meng or make her feel disgusted.

Jiang Cheng rode the wind and casually fabricated, "Perhaps Rong Ling and Li Lanqiu had already been together before that night, they just kept it a secret from you. You stayed at home the whole time, what could you possibly know"

He was just shooting blindly, but he hit Lin Meng's sore spot right away. This was also the thing she feared most in her heart. If that were true, then she would have no expectations for Rong Ling at all.

Regardless, the reasons he gave were how pompous they were!

Because, before that night, she didn't feel anything unusual. If this guess is true, then that man is too good at acting. He could act so well that she couldn't find out anything, which means that this relationship is no longer pure, and this marriage can just end here.

As soon as she thought of this, her heart felt like it was being ripped apart.

Gritting her teeth, she blinked hard, commanding herself not to think about it anymore.

At this moment, she needs confidence, she needs to be strong!

She needs to go back!

Figure everything out!

"Brother Jiang, I still have to go back!"

Jiang Chengfeng immediately became angry. Why did he say so much This woman's brain just doesn't work, does it

"Rong Ling has cheated, that's an undeniable fact. You don't need to go back. If you want evidence, I'll get it for you. If you want him ruined financially, I can help with that too. Just stay here safe and sound."

His tone was very serious!

"It's not..." Lin Meng felt a headache coming on for a moment. She thought Jiang Chengfeng was being too stubborn today, taking her words out of context.

"I'm going to do these things myself, and besides, Rongling betraying me isn't necessarily a sure thing!"

This is the last thing Jiang Cheng wanted to hear, so his voice uncontrollably rose, feeling a bit like he was shouting.

"How can you still defend him like this" he said with a look of utter disgust in his eyes. "He's a bastard at his core, an accomplice to Little Lang's death, how can you still defend him"

Lin Meng was at a loss for words for a moment. As soon as she mentioned Xiaolang, many words choked in her throat.

Despite riding the wind, Jiang seemed even more emotionally agitated.

"Xiao Lang was so young, he died so unjustly. You just watch him die wrongfully! What's good about Rong Ling He's now hooking up with another woman, and he's still lying to you! How can you still defend him like this, and believe that he might be innocent Lin Meng, wake up!"

He suddenly clamped his hands onto Lin Meng's shoulders and shook her violently.

"You were once a very perceptive person, how come you've become so blind in this matter of Rong Ling! Tell me yourself, because of Rong Ling, have you completely forgotten about Xiaolang's death! Because of Rong Ling, are you now planning to turn a blind eye to his and Li Lanqiu's actions! You still say you want to go back, Lin Meng, you've truly disappointed us!"

In the end, Jiang Chengfeng nearly shouted that sentence.

Lin Meng's face immediately flushed red, then paled. What Jiang Chengfeng said was partially true, so she felt ashamed. But it wasn't that she couldn't see clearly, it was that she needed to see clearly, which is why she had to go back.

"Brother Jiang, I know you blame me about Xiaolang. But, I really didn't do anything." Because of this, she has suffered many times already.

Carefully, she told Jiang Chengfeng all that she knew.

Jiang Cheng's face darkened instantly. He hadn't expected that Lin Meng already understood this so clearly. Then, considering Rong Ling's position in her heart, the fact that she had never acted upon it made some sense to him.

Lin Meng said apologetically, "The death of Xiaolang, actually the most guilty person is me――"

"Don't say any more." Jiang Chengfeng immediately coldly interrupted her. He knew what she was going to say next, he didn't want to hear her speak up for Rong Ling, nor did he want to hear her take the blame onto herself and then torture herself in a corner.

"Rong Ling, I definitely have to deal with him because he and Rong Sanbo are one. I'm not holding Rong Ling accountable for Xiao Lang's death, but if I want Rong Sanbo to fall, I can't avoid dealing with Rong Ling. Because if Rong Ling doesn't fall, Rong Sanbo won't either."

This was the most difficult point for Lin Meng to deal with, so she kept burying her head in the sand and refused to inquire about it. Just like when Rong Ling said he was busy with Rong Sanbo's affairs, she immediately didn't want to hear it. She also didn't want to hear about Jiang Chengfeng's involvement in this matter.

"Stop talking!"

She wearily covered her forehead with her hand, her brows and eyes drooping.

"Rong Ling said he wouldn't go after you."

"But I will get back at him!" Jiang Chengfeng said coldly, then added. "And besides, I don't believe him."

If that blade's gaze were about to sever his throat, he wouldn't believe Rong Ling would stand idly by and not retaliate. That wasn't the man's character!

Lin Meng's head immediately ached.

Jiang Cheng's decision has once again led her into a dilemma.

She became agitated and instead reached out to cup her head in her hands, then gripped her own hair tightly. The force of her grip made her knuckles stand out.

Jiang Cheng immediately felt a pang of sympathy and quickly grabbed her hand, but the words that came out of his mouth were still forcing her.

"If you leave Rong Ling, I will let him off with a warning. That's what I said before, and it still stands. He's treating you this way now, isn't it a good time for you to leave him"

Lin Meng was stunned, and Jiang Chengfeng let go of his hand.

"Mengmeng, think about it carefully. I have something to do, so I'll leave first and come back later to see you."

He stood up and ordered again.

"This house has everything you need, just settle in here. As for Youyou, I'll get him to you as soon as possible."

"Brother Jiang!" Lin Meng suddenly stood up.

Jiang Cheng's gaze was fixed on her, piercing and sharp.

He actually blocked all her paths, saying it was to let her think things over properly. In reality, he didn't give her any room to choose. Lin Meng knew this very well, so she felt heavy and pained in her heart. This cry of "Jiang gege" (elder brother) was a subconscious struggle from her. She hoped that this big brother, whom she had always trusted with all her heart, could be like Rong Ling before, treating her with tenderness and understanding, accommodating her as much as possible, so that she could lighten the burden in her heart caused by Xiao Lang's death and feel more at ease. However, from Jiang Chengfeng's face, in his eyes, she only saw – rejection!

He is not a bully!

...and her beauty...

Stifling, the feeling surged like waves, filling her heart. She watched helplessly as Jiang Chengfeng left, closing the door behind him.

She felt like she had become a cocoon!

Stuck!
