nitely be impatiently urging her son to secure this girl."Now she only has one son left, and she really doesn't want to hurt her son's heart, so she doesn't want to intervene forcefully. But for He W...Her husband, though he spoke with a carefree air, was only in his fifties. To retire so early and idle at home, he was almost becoming a useless man. Besides, she knew her own husband well; he had the ambition and drive to be successful in that position. He would have excelled there. Taking him away from it, even though he might say otherwise, would inevitably lead to depression. Over time, she feared it could cause him some serious illness. Her husband's career had been smooth sailing, with numerous ascents to the top, earning him praise and respect. Everyone says that retiring in old age with honor is the ideal scenario. But if this wasn't handled well and he was simply dismissed, it would be a stain on his reputation, a humiliation. She couldn't bear the thought of her husband, who had lived a life of glory, ending up so pathetically at the end.

Next came her son. Jiang Chengfeng was now her only hope. She couldn't say she expected her son to rise to power and become a king, but who wouldn't want their own son to succeed If something truly happened, how could she be as nonchalant as her son claimed, simply doing things honestly Although she wasn't in the official circle, she had been exposed to its complexities through her family. Who you associate with is crucial. And remember, one rises together, one falls together. With his father's past actions, others would naturally avoid him and ostracize him. Furthermore, he was a young hero, achieving great things at a tender age. There were certainly many who envied him. He had also repeatedly challenged powerful figures, creating enemies along the way. Previously, with his father in that position and the Liu family backing them, no one dared to exert pressure. However, with the Liu family's downfall and her husband's resignation, those who harbored resentment might emerge. Even if he could miraculously avoid being brought down, navigating the treacherous waters of officialdom would be fraught with pitfalls. He would undoubtedly face sabotage and exclusion. Ultimately, she envisioned a future where he struggled tirelessly, only to end up disillusioned and unhappy.

As a mother, how can I bear to see such a scene.

"Dreamy..." Jiang Mu, who had recounted the events in fits and starts, grasped Lin Meng's hand again and burst into tears.

Lin Meng frowned and thought for a moment, then patted Jiang Mu's hand again.

"Mother, don't cry. I promise I'll do everything I can to handle this. It won't be easy for the Liu family to get away with this. I think I can stop them. Of course, if the Liu family doesn't involve your husband and Jiang Gege, that would be best. So, please wipe your tears and wait here for me. I need to discuss this with Rong Ling. This is a big matter, and I need to hear his thoughts and see what he suggests."

Naturally, Jiang's mother was deeply grateful and nodded repeatedly.

Lin Meng then pointed out the location of the bathroom to Jiang's mother and went upstairs. Just as she had taken ten or so steps, she was called back by Jiang's mother.

"Dream dream!"

"Huh" she turned, confused.

“Don't force yourself!” said Jiang’s mother. “Just do your best, but don't push yourself too hard. If Rong Ling doesn't agree, then that's okay. Don't let us ruin your relationship because of this.”

Jiang Mu lowered her head. Tears followed, spilling out. Saying this felt both right and wrong. If she were more selfish, she shouldn't have said it. She should have tried her best to persuade the woman, to touch her heart, and make her do everything for her. But when she thought of the woman's hardships, being a woman herself, she didn't want to make things difficult for her, nor did she want to ruin her marriage because of this. After all, this was the woman that her youngest son had given his life to protect. This was Youyou's mother, and because...she was Lin Meng!

Lin Meng was surprised for a moment, then smiled slowly.

"Aunt, I know. Please sit down first."

She owed their family a son, and for her entire life, she had the obligation to guard that home. She would do her best, that was all. If she could do it, she would. So, she didn't promise anything with certainty, and therefore, she said she would go to Rong Ling to discuss it. She had to first protect her own small family before she could try her best to guard the Jiang family.

Your mother-in-law is kind. At such a time, she came to ask for help and could still say those words, which shows that in her heart, there's a place for you. This means she truly cares about you, instead of just seeing you as someone who owes her a debt of obligation.

Smiling, she went upstairs and told Rong Ling about it.

I don't know what to do, so I came to hear your opinion.

Rong Ling thought about it for a while, then said: "Leave this to me. Come on, I'll go talk to her in detail."

"Good," she said, her little mouth curving up into a smile that was as fresh and vibrant as a jewel.

This is what a couple is like, trusting each other completely. So, he readily agreed to her request without hesitation, and she could entrust everything to him without any doubt. He's her husband, so of course he would be able to handle things perfectly for her, and all she needed to do was rely on him. He came back, and she became a little darling again, being pampered and loved, a little darling who didn't have to work hard or put in any effort.

Rong Ling took Lin Meng downstairs and asked Jiang Mu to give a detailed account of the situation. Jiang Mu was a little embarrassed. This time, she came here secretly, behind her husband and son's backs. Her husband and son were also protecting her and didn't want her to worry too much, so some details hadn't been explained to him in full.

"Fengling also decisively said, 'Alright then, you call the two of them and tell them to come here directly after work. I'll first get a clear understanding of the situation before deciding on the next steps!'"

He was a man of his word, with an aura of natural authority that commanded respect. When he spoke in such terms, Mrs. Jiang felt a sense of relief wash over her, a newfound confidence blooming within her. She believed that with this man handling the matter, everything would be resolved without issue.

Her heart settled a little at once, and after several thanks, she made a phone call. As expected, she was met with reproaches from her husband and complaints from her son. But both men understood in their hearts that she did this for them, for the family, so they finally relented and said they would come over as soon as they got off work.

In the evening, Jiang Yichen and Jiang Chengfeng came together. Jiang Chengfeng was fine; he had faced Rong Ling many times before. It was just that Jiang Yichen had limited face-to-face encounters with Rong Ling, so after seeing Rong Ling, he seemed a little awkward and restrained. After all, this was the reason why he came here. But even so, he was an outstanding man. Thinking that his wife had sacrificed her face for him and secretly worked hard for him, he realized that if he still cared about face, it would be ridiculous, and a betrayal to his wife. So, his expression quickly returned to normal.

Things had come to this, and he wasn't putting on a show. After sitting down, he went straight to the point.

"Our family is very grateful for your help this time. The Jiang family knows how to appreciate kindness, and we will always remember those who have been good to us. I won't say much more, time will prove everything!"

Even in this pleading tone, there's still a hint of pride.

The arrogance of some people is such that it cannot be worn down, no matter what environment they are in.

Rong Ling wasn't very interested in what people called "returning favors." He would lend a hand because it was for his women. To be frank, the Jiang family was proud and not the kind who were shameless enough to ask for help twice after you'd helped them once. So, he helped out when he could. Besides, this matter would inevitably involve San Bo in the end. This time could then become an opportunity to alleviate the tension between San Bo, Lin Meng, and the Jiang family. He believed that with this help, Jiang Po Lang's unjust death could be viewed with a normal heart.

"Tell me, what's the situation now!" Rong Ling was also straightforward.

People who are straightforward deal with each other efficiently. Jiang Yichen was the main speaker, and Jiang Chengfeng occasionally added a few words, making the current situation very clear.

Actually, from their candid confession, it also shows that they have let go of their prejudice against Rong Ling, or perhaps, they have the most basic trust in Rong Ling. Otherwise, everything they said, if Rong Ling was determined, could definitely hurt them even worse than the Liu family.

The Jiang family is also more than just talk!

They are expressing their trust and gratitude to Rongling in their own way!

With his sharp mind, he naturally understood. He listened intently, thought deeply, and asked questions along the way. After Jiang Yichen and his father had finished explaining everything, he asked some more questions. Then he instructed the Jiang family to sit there for a while, with Lin Meng accompanying them, while he needed to make a call to his third uncle.

The Jiang family naturally nodded.

Then Rong Ling went aside to make a phone call. After returning, he said that he had asked the Jiang family to go to his third uncle's place.

Jiang Yancheng was stunned, unable to pinpoint exactly what emotions were swirling within him at that moment. Was it astonishment Perhaps not quite; resentment No, it wasn't that either; joy It seemed lacking in intensity; sorrow There was a tinge of it, but only a faint one...

That's a feeling that's hard to describe in words!

After all, that person had once made him hate so much!

After all, that person was indeed a powerful being, too strong to be shaken.

Yet, after all, he remained aloof, and he, had he not taken this step today, would probably have been reduced to dust!

After all, he is now someone many people want to curry favor with, and he has such a decisive personality that he can completely ignore how others treat him.

He went, as much as he didn't want to admit it, that was making friends.

When people are willing to help you and let you into their circle, that is a sign of recognition. Especially in the current situation, they have no obligation to even pay attention to you!

No matter how his emotions fluctuated, Jiang Yichen still clicked on the head.

So, the group headed towards the military compound. Even Youyou and Xiao Haohuo went along. There was Xiaomumu there, their little companion. They could go, and Xiaomumu would be over the moon. Earlier on the phone call, Sanbo had explicitly mentioned to Rong Ling that he should bring both children along.
