The Final Settlement (1)

d asking what she had said to Rong Ling. But Li Yiping didn't answer any of her calls, not even the ones she made to Bingbing!"Wrong! Wrong!..."The old woman cursed incessantly. "That stupid woman, sh...Rong Ling briefly analyzed the situation for Lin Meng. When Lin Meng heard it, her fair face was about to wrinkle into a bun.

"Well, then I won't see her anymore!" she said somewhat petulantly. "I saved her that day and didn't think about getting anything in return at all. Besides, she gave me money, so it's settled. There's no need to involve myself further."

Rong Lingjun's eyes flashed, and he smiled teasingly.

"That could very well be the family of that Jiang Big Brother who is likely to marry you. Aren't you going to pay them any mind"

"Forget it!" she replied curtly. "If they want to scheme, then I don't want to know. I owe the Jiang family, not the He family, so I don't care who they are!"

He felt as comfortable and happy as if he had just drunk a cup of fine wine.

Jiang's a man of the wind, at best, just that. But this little woman, she's willing to bury the hatchet with Rong Manbing for him and even get along with her.

"Let's go meet," he said instead.

She was quite puzzled.

He explained, “This was bound to happen sooner or later. Since they came looking for us, let’s just meet them. With the He family's capabilities, if it doesn't work out this time, there will definitely be another time!”

Lin Meng pouted her small mouth. "Well then, I'll listen to you. But I hope it's not something unpleasant!"

Lately, so many people have been coming to her door that she's starting to instinctively defend herself!

It's fine, the He family just came to express their gratitude.

As soon as Old Mrs. Cai saw Lin Meng, she was so excited that she couldn't contain herself.

"Girl, thank you, thank you, I've been looking for you for so long, finally found you, thank you, thank you..."

This is a very simple old woman, the whole person looks like a kind and amiable one. She looked at Lin Meng's eyes, unusually loving, that grateful tone, even couldn't be faked. It seems that this old lady really seemed to have been looking for her, and only now has she found her. But with He Jia's abilities, it shouldn't be!

Lin Meng hesitated, but didn't ask. After being led by the old woman who held her hand tightly to sit down, she smiled and said it was unnecessary. But the old woman still looked inexplicably grateful.

"Good person, good person. If it weren't for you, my wife might have really lost her life that day. You saved my wife's life and just left like that It really makes me feel uneasy in my heart...Luckily, I finally found you..."

The old woman chattered on and on, expressing her gratitude profusely. In the end, she pulled out some local delicacies she had brought with her, listing them one by one.

“These wild mushrooms, villagers go up the mountain to pick them themselves, they are definitely pure natural green food. No pesticides are used, and you can eat them with peace of mind. They taste good too. We have vendors coming over there specifically to queue up to buy these things. When you eat them, soak some in water and you can make soup…”

The old woman probably liked Lin Meng more and more the longer she looked at her. She treated her like a younger relative and started talking about food and drink. Turning around, she brought over wild walnuts, dried vegetables, etc.

These things aren't necessarily valuable, but they are precious nonetheless. Because the time and effort spent on them can't be measured in money. Nowadays, everyone emphasizes green living and health preservation. Many people spend exorbitant amounts just to eat pure green, non-polluted food that they feel safe consuming.

As the elder and the younger were talking, He Liji made eye contact with Rong Ling. Rong Ling saw it but ignored him. A pleading expression appeared on He Liji's face. After all, this man was also a proud son of heaven, an MBA graduate from Oxford who had started his own company early on and was well-known in the UK. People like him are usually proud and wouldn't easily lower their heads to others. Now, he didn't hesitate to show such an expression, which showed a certain degree of sincerity.

Rong Ling stood up and walked to the side. He Li Jie immediately stood up and followed. When they had walked a short distance, Rong Ling stopped. He Li Jie then whispered softly.

“A wise man doesn't speak in riddles. For what happened before, we are truly sorry. Today, I represent the He family to apologize. We ask for your understanding. Also, my grandmother is sincerely grateful to Lin Meng and has always wanted to thank her in person. However, we kept it a secret from her and said that we couldn't find her. Therefore, please don't doubt my grandmother's sincerity. She is a good person. It's just that we, the younger generation, are influenced by our environment and complicated thoughts, which led us to this situation!”

I'm not going to lie.

Feng Ling nodded lightly. Seeing that Ge Li Jie had nothing else to say, he went back.

It seems like these two are sincerely apologizing today. The tallest tree gets the most wind, and it is best not to flaunt your power. Although the Rong family has made up their mind to seek revenge, there is no need to be arrogant again. After making an example of someone, one should retreat into seclusion. So, there's no need to proudly push away the goodwill others offer. (..tw good looking novel) The He family holds a high position in the center and has a vast network. Since they are willing to extend a hand, the Rong family should accept it. Maintaining a proud and aloof image and constantly pushing people away is not the style of the Rong family that is planning to retire.

This is also why, when Lin Meng angrily said she didn't want to meet, Rong Ling still let these two people in. One more friend is always better than one more enemy. Of course, some enemies are forever ineligible to become your friends.

He Li Jie and Old Madam Cai left soon after. Since it was their first visit, they naturally couldn't stay too long. After the two of them left, Lin Meng looked at these mountain goods with a smile.

"The old lady is still a pretty good person!"

Rong Ling nodded. She was a woman who, during difficult times, had selflessly adopted another family's child, even going hungry herself to ensure the child ate first. Even when that child became wealthy, she didn't try to enjoy his prosperity or use his influence for her own children or personal gain.

Even though such ordinary people are commonplace, they are worthy of respect!

"If you like these, I'll have them sent to you often."

Given his abilities, doing these things would be easy for him. Besides, he also contracted farmland in the countryside. The most fashionable organic mountain delicacies served at places like Tongzhou Grand Hotel were all sourced from that farmland.

He and his brothers like Shiyu had a keen sense of business opportunity. Wherever there was money to be made, they invested. They would provide the funding and a general plan, then find some talented managers to execute it. This place is not lacking in people, but in opportunities!

Lin Meng hummed twice and started packing her things. After roughly organizing them, she turned back to Rong Ling and said:

"I see, they are all things from our own home, it seems like there's no need for a return gift. What do you think"

"You handle it." He smiled slightly.

"I won't be staying any longer then. Let's see what happens later." This act alone already makes her a qualified hostess.

"I've never tried that wild vegetable before. I'll look it up online in a bit to see if it can be used to wrap dumplings. I've had similar ones used for dumplings before. If it works, Youyou will be in for a treat..."

Little kids love to eat dumplings!

She murmured softly. This, however, was a proper wife after all.

He raised an eyebrow, teasing her. "What about me"

"Hmm" she questioned, without turning her head.

"You only think about your son, what about me"

She finally turned her head, but gave him a playful glance, her eyes brimming with allure.

He persisted. "What about me"

She chuckled, unable to resist. “Alright, you win. What do you want to eat I’ll make it for you!”

But the man just smirked. "As long as you did it, I love it!"

Her face flushed, but her eyes sparkled with extraordinary brilliance.

Then you wait!

She didn't say anything more, but in her heart she went through each dish that the man particularly liked to eat. Quickly, she matched those dishes with some local specialties and came up with a rough menu. Then she started preparing.

When dinner time came, Rong Ling glanced at the table filled with six dishes and one soup. Four of them were his favorites, so he naturally understood that his wife's heart was most on that person. His heart swelled with happiness. However, no matter how happy he felt, he remained composed, putting his cunning nature to perfect use. Only when it was time to tend to her in the evening did he become a little more forceful.

Anyway, Lin Meng didn't know his thoughts. If she knew that her favoritism towards this man came at the cost of being deeply exploited, she would definitely resent him.

To get to the point, after the He family paid their respects and visited the Rong family, the number of people who came knocking on Rong Ling's door with gifts increased. It was like a sudden surge of growth, everyone vying to be first. In truth, everyone was waiting for an opportunity. However, due to the recent actions of the Rong family, which were quite ruthless, they hesitated to visit. They feared that they wouldn't be well-received and might even offend Rong Ling. But with Jiang Yancheng's family affair becoming public, followed by the He family incident, some people couldn't hold back any longer.

There is no wall that cannot be penetrated in this world. The Jiang family first met Rong Ling, and then they were able to meet Rong Sanbo. Many people thought over and over about the connection behind it, and their hearts were scratched by a cat, itchy and unbearable. Although Rong Sanbo was down on his luck, they were unable to help the Rong family during those difficult times, but now that Rong Sanbo has come out, and the Rong family is in a weakened state due to previous events, they naturally need to make some gestures before adding icing to the cake.

But, the Rong family suffered a great blow to their energy. That was part of the Rong family's plan. These people came with gifts expressing their willingness to continue cooperating with the Asia-Eastern Group and establish friendly trade relations, but Asia-Eastern didn't need them.

Without exception, all of these people's requests to meet were met with rejection!

As everyone realized, Rong Ling was still the same Rong Ling. Her arrogance hadn't changed at all. Just like the East Asia Group's relentless pursuit of several prominent families under the Dong family, they were willing to let the country's only publicly listed company change hands again, rather than abandon this pressure or accept help from others at this time. This desperate and reckless attitude scared many people. The Dong family and other prominent families, under the overwhelming pressure of the Rong family, finally gave up resistance. Their assets were sold, and those who declared bankruptcy did so. In the end, these people either went to cities far away from Kyoto to start anew in a low-key manner; or they simply moved their entire families abroad, afraid to stay on this land any longer.

Such a result once made people in the business world change color when they mentioned Yandon, and as for Rong Ling, who was behind all of this, he was avoided like a plague god and no one dared to mention his name easily.
