His large hand encircled her s...The New Rich Times is a widely circulated newspaper, highly respected in the business community. It frequently reports on the movements of the wealthy and influential, and is also popular among ordinary people because it offers a glimpse into the lives of the elite.

On this day, a large section of the front page was dedicated to a marriage announcement. It was the wedding news of a business tycoon in the transportation industry, but this news, which should have been the headline story, was overshadowed by the guests present. The newspaper used a sensational headline --

Flowers held in hand fall upon a beauty's bosom, why not distance yourselves from the beauty of Qin and Jin!

About the process, the president of Asia-Eastern Group, Rong Ling, attended the luxurious wedding with He Ya, a wealthy young woman from a prominent family. According to custom, the bride was still holding the bouquet when it unexpectedly fell into He Ya's arms. The beautiful woman shyly held the bouquet and looked at Rong Ling with a smile in her eyes. When their eyes met, a faint smile also appeared on Rong Ling's face.

As soon as this photo came out, there was an uproar!

Many people called He Ya to congratulate her, and naturally there were also those who inquired about the truth. On Rong Ling's side, of course, close friends also called to confirm the authenticity, some even with teasing remarks.

Now, the newspaper was placed on Rong Ling's desk.

It has to be said that the photographer really knows how to use lighting and capture the moment. The photo is very well taken, highlighting the apparent romantic connection between him and He Ya. Adding to this, according to legend, an unmarried woman who receives the bride's bouquet is highly likely to be the next person to get married. It's no wonder that the media seized on this as a headline!

But-- this scandal's protagonist became Rong Ling. Seeing him in the newspaper made things seem rather unusual! Or perhaps, this new upstart Time Report really is bold!

Four years ago, Rong Ling, who had been deeply tormented by media frenzy, resolutely decided to start his own media business. Since he was bound to be criticized and scrutinized by the media, he might as well take control himself and keep things within his acceptable range. So, on one hand, he used ruthless methods to suppress any media that involved him, deterring industry insiders from making careless remarks about him; on the other hand, he subsidized his younger brother, Xiao Xiang, who developed Bi Yi Entertainment into one of the top entertainment companies in the country.

After that, all news related to him was handed over to Biyi Entertainment, and any other newspapers or magazines that dared to report on his news were suppressed by him. In severe cases, he would either forcibly acquire the media outlet or drive it into bankruptcy!

So, whenever reporters in the media world mention Rong Ling, their faces turn pale. Not a single reporter dares to write about Rong Ling. That's why when Rong Ling and Lin Meng came out of the supermarket together before, a reporter clearly saw them, his gossipy blood boiled, urging him to take a picture, but he still didn't dare!

Rong Ling attends many events and brings He Ya along quite often, but this is the first time in years that a newspaper not affiliated with Biyi Entertainment has reported on them, let alone with such a sensationalized headline speculating about an impending engagement!

Rong Ling narrowed her eyes, looking at the huge newspaper headline -- New Noble Times, and coldly raised an eyebrow.

It seems Feng Tan has made a move!

This new tabloid, "The Noble Times," belongs to Tianye Entertainment, which is under Feng Tan's name. Tianye Entertainment is a powerful entertainment company comparable in strength to its rivals. It is a veteran entertainment company with a long history, deeply rooted and well-known throughout the industry. The current president of the company, Mr. Qi, is a respected figure in the industry. Feng Tan is his grandson, and now he has become the young master of Tianye Entertainment. It's almost certain that he will inherit Tianye in the future. Nowadays, Mr. Qi basically doesn't manage anything, most of the company's affairs have been handed over to Feng Tan. This clearly means letting go of power.

That day, Rong Ling beat Feng Tan and humiliated him without any politeness. Feng Tan would definitely retaliate, and Rong Ling was not surprised at all! This kid dared to publish such things in the newspaper and even dared to gamble with his own business. He did have some courage!

Rong Ling raised his finger and tapped the table, letting out a snort from his nose. He then rolled up the newspaper and tossed it with precision into the trash can three meters away. Such accuracy was just like him - sharp as a tack!

Since Feng Tan dared to post, Rong Ling dares to accept the challenge! This man is born a fighter, mediocrity is not his style, killing is his instinct. Life being too smooth is no good either, luckily there are always opponents like Feng Tan who appear to let him have some fun!

He thought for a moment, put away the papers in his hand, gave the secretary an instruction, and left!

To say Feng Tan had no backup plan is simply impossible. I estimate a newspaper has already been delivered to that woman's hands. It's been several days since he last saw her, so he's going to go see her now and see what her attitude is like.

Of all the people, it was Xiao Youyou who was most thrilled about Rong Ling's arrival. When he saw Rong Ling, he couldn't help but grin widely.

"Uncle Rong!" he called out crisply. "Are you finished with your business!"

Rong Ling raised an eyebrow, glanced at Lin Meng who was sitting beside him, and saw that she just smiled without any other expression. He nodded slightly. But in his heart, he didn't like it very much. How could this woman be so calm! He hadn't appeared for days, and when she saw him, she didn't have a single excited emotion! Or, if she had seen the newspaper and him, why wasn't there a hint of resentment in her

That smile, so faint and gentle, with an air of compassion, as if he had attained enlightenment. No matter how he looked at it, it made him feel uneasy!

The little guy is recovering well, and these days his scrapes and sprained ankle are basically healed. Lying in bed for so many days, his spleen hasn't shown any negative changes, which is very reassuring. Kids are naturally playful and active, and it's hard for the little guy to be stuck in bed for so long without proper play. Now that Rong Ling has come, he happily greets Rong Ling and proudly takes out the Rubik's Cube from his bedside table. He looks at it seriously, takes a deep breath, and hands it to Rong Ling, signaling him to scramble it.

Rong Ling was startled, his brow twitching slightly, a glimmer of admiration flashing in his eyes. After scrambling the Rubik's Cube, he handed it to the little boy. The little boy took it, pursed his lips, looked seriously at the Rubik's Cube, then closed his eyes. His short fingers began to clumsily manipulate the cube, which was as big as his hand.

The little guy's movements weren't fast, but they definitely weren't slow. He was making a serious face that made his clumsy actions seem almost sacred. Each of his moves looked very deliberate, although because his fingers were short, they appeared awkward. However, the way the Rubik's Cube slowly changed in his hands was surprisingly graceful.

Then, the scrambled Rubik's Cube returned to its original neat state. The little boy closed his eyes and a smile appeared on his face. He was clearly confident of victory. When he opened his eyes, he proudly held up the Rubik's Cube and glanced at Rong Ling.

Rong Ling this time did not hold back on praise, praising him with one sentence.

"That's great!"

The little fellow burst into laughter, "giggle giggle," just like a cheerful little bird. After laughing, he said with great determination, “I’ll keep trying!”

That means he will try his best to surpass Rong Ling.

Rong Ling silently smirked, stroking the little fellow's head. Then, with a sharp glance, he scrutinized the ward without a trace, finally spotting the New Noble Times on the side table, where it was buried under several folders.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, glancing at Lin Meng who was sitting quietly beside him. She had her head down, seemingly focusing all her attention on the documents in front of her, which made him think she was being insincere. This woman was far too quiet today. He could almost be certain that she had seen the news, so what she was doing now... was she deliberately trying to irritate him!

Does she want him to come comfort her first, appease her first! Does she think that if she ignores him on purpose, he'll inevitably come crawling back to her!

He let out a mocking snort in his heart and turned his gaze away. After playing with the little guy for a while, he left directly. Basically, he didn't say much to her. When he left, he only said goodbye to the little guy.

"Leaving already!" She closed the folder on her lap, stood up, and smiled at him.

She was still as beautiful as ever, with a natural charm that no other woman could match. He flickered his eyes, his heartstrings still tugged by her, but he only murmured an "嗯" and turned to leave. She followed him, seeing him out the door.

"Walk slowly!" she said with a smile as she bid farewell.

He looked at her with cold eyes, secretly pleased. After all, she couldn't keep up that faade of calmness and indifference forever! There he was, just saying he was leaving, and wouldn't you know it, she reacted! She even walked him to the door! And with that alluring smile...

This time, he was mostly satisfied with the harvest. He just waited to see when this woman would start making trouble about it. He had already planned his countermeasures in his mind and just waited for the woman to make a move and ruin everything!

How could Lin Meng possibly know what he was thinking! She had only done her best to fulfill the courtesies expected of a hostess. After seeing Rong Ling leave, she closed the door and returned to handling her documents.

Both Ruan Chengyi and Ruan Chenghui were gone, so for some company business dealings that needed a final signature, everyone had to find her. Uncle Lin was a huge help. He would first skim through the general business matters, then categorize and organize them before having his assistants bring them to the hospital for Lin Meng's final decision.Lin Meng majored in economics management in America, so she wasn't fazed by general documents. Besides, she had been frantically brushing up on her knowledge of financial aspects related to her family's company recently. Coupled with Uncle Lin's constant guidance, she was able to handle most of the company's business dealings.

After skimming through all the files, Lin Meng signed his name on the top sheet and then stamped those that needed to be stamped. Those that needed to be resubmitted for review were also sent back. At 3:30 in the afternoon, Uncle Lin's assistant came over to collect the files. With a smile, Lin Meng handed over a stack of files to the assistant, and then saw him off. When he returned, there was only the new "Guishi Times" newspaper left on the tea table.

She saw it, her eyes darkened slightly, ignoring the pang of pain that rose in her heart. The newspaper Feng Tan had specially sent, she naturally saw the sensational news on it, but... what could she do! Rong Ling was here, so what grounds did she have to question him!

Some things just are what they are!

Let it just fade away quietly!

She wasn't a complex person to begin with, her mind couldn't handle such complicated matters, so she'd just keep things simple. Whatever was considered right and proper, that's what she would do!

Let everything be, and let things take their course!

Smiling and shaking her head, she rolled up the newspaper and gathered some other trash, throwing it all into the bin. She then fastened the garbage bag and waited to take it out later.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the little one to be discharged from the hospital. Ah Zhen came promptly to pick him up, and Sun Fei also squeezed in some free time to join them. They had a lively reunion, laughing and saying things like "the evil spirit is gone, the body is healthy," before the little one finally returned to his long-awaited home.

Although the little guy is basically fine now, as Lin Meng only has this one precious child, she naturally wants him to stay home for a while longer. Plus, Christmas and New Year's are just around the corner, so she didn't send him back to kindergarten. Mr. Yan also had to delay things because of the little guy's illness, waiting until after the holidays to send the child over!

The little boy didn't mind, he was still happy playing by himself at home. He would tinker with his building blocks, dolls, dominoes and similar toys for hours on end. Ah, since the day the little boy was discharged from the hospital, I gave him a dazzling jigsaw puzzle as a gift, and he found something new to play with. These days, he's become obsessed with puzzles. Although he loves to tease, his temperament is actually quite steady. For such a quiet activity that requires a lot of time and patience, he would sit alone for hours on end without complaint!

Lin Meng rarely left the little guy's side. This time, when the little guy had an accident, her heart cast a shadow, so unless it was absolutely necessary, she wouldn't easily leave the little guy's side. Even if there was something at work that required her to go in person, she would repeatedly remind the little guy to stay home and not come out.

That day, she returned from the company after finishing several urgent cases, and stopped by the supermarket to buy some fresh fruits and vegetables. As she got off the bus and walked slowly towards home, she saw a woman peeking at her doorstep from afar. Lin Meng gradually approached, she could confirm that she didn't know this woman, but she felt a sense of familiarity about her, as if she had vaguely seen this person somewhere!

The woman seemed agitated, biting her lip and occasionally glancing up at the three-story building. She paced back and forth outside the fence as if troubled by something, wanting to go inside but hesitant to do so.

Lin Meng walked slowly closer, finally stopping two meters in front of the woman.

The woman seemed to be truly troubled by something. Even though Lin Meng was so close to her, she didn't seem to notice him at all.

"May I ask you something" Lin Meng slightly raised her lips. "What's the matter!"

The woman bit her lip, somewhat startled and raised her head!ld make her pay. Then, with a cold demeanor, he went to speak privately with Old Tu, wanting to understand the full details of what had happened!When she was alone, about to die on that path rarely tr...
