d continuing to climb with a sore waist, Lin Meng bit her lip, her long eyes blinked, but she still decided to endure it a little. Fortunately, she didn't choose a weekend, so there weren't many hiker..."Grandma, Rong Ling should know about this already. [..tw 超多好看小說] Bingbing went this time and got the best possible result. Please don't make things difficult for her anymore!" Li Yiping finally stood her ground and boldly expressed her refusal.
She's her only precious daughter, if her mother doesn't protect her, who else will
"Well, you!" Old Mrs. He angrily pointed at Li Yiping and turned to the crowd. "Listen, all of you listen. It's true what they say about people from small families, they can't even hold their heads high, and they dare to talk back! This old woman is doing this for our entire He family, and for her and Bingbing's sake, but look at her, she..."
"Mom, please don't be angry, don't be angry..."
Several of Old Madam He's daughters-in-law immediately rushed up to dissuade her. This display was clearly saying that Li Yiping was being unreasonable!
"Grandma, you misunderstood…" Li Yiping weakly defended.
Then Old Lady He let out a heavy snort.
Li Yiping bit her lip and added, "Rong Ling has already said those words. Bingbing going there probably won't make much of a difference. Besides, he definitely wouldn't lie to a child. Since he's said it this way, let's wait and see, I guess he'll stop. I know Grandma, you care about this family more than anything, so why don't you send someone else to talk to Rong Ling Bingbing has already made her stand, so things should be easier from here on out!"
Old Mrs. He was taken aback and remembered that she had previously said she would look for Rong Ling after Bingbing. She felt ashamed in her heart. Li Yiping, this daughter-in-law, wasn't using her previous words to shame her! Asking an old woman like her to beg Rong Ling, wouldn't that ruin her face! She hadn't meant it seriously back then, it was just idle talk. She had lived in this family for so long, didn't she understand the situation!
What a lack of foresight!
Now that Old Mrs. He was looking at Li Yiping, she couldn't stand her for some reason. This attitude was very similar to when Li Yiping first married into the He family and found out she was carrying a girl. Because she felt that Bingbing seemed to have lost much of her use value, Old Mrs. He's attitude had unconsciously changed.
"Forget it, take Bingbing to rest downstairs. Don't just stand here and get in everyone's way!"
Annoying!
Li Yiping was so angry she could barely contain herself. How could she and Bingbing become such a nuisance! Logically, Bingbing was the hero of this entire incident! Without Bingbing, the He family wouldn't have been able to make any progress at all! It wasn't as if they deserved praise, but to be considered an annoyance
It's infuriating!
She immediately lowered her head, so that the storm that had just erupted in her eyes could be hidden. To say such things, her own grandmother was not being petty! She wasn't lacking in culture or experience, just a village woman! The old lady said she came from a poor family, implying that she wasn't good enough for the He family, but didn't this old lady also come from the countryside When it came to status and knowledge, she could even rival herself, a college graduate from a prestigious university! Now that the He family had risen, she seemed to have forgotten her "grassroots" origins!
Li Yiping found it ridiculous, didn't say much, and pulled Bingbing upstairs!
If they have the ability, then let them do it themselves. This time, she wouldn't be foolish enough to take her own hot face and stick it on someone else's cold behind!
Old Mrs. He hated it most when people were disrespectful to her. Li Yiping just left without a word, and from her back, she seemed quite angry. This made Old Mrs. He feel uncomfortable. She immediately said something sarcastically --
"At critical moments, one's true nature is revealed. This daughter-in-law Xiaoshu, I'm not saying this to be unkind, but she simply lacks grace and composure. For such a minor matter, she hesitates and makes excuses, behaving in a petty and unrefined manner."
This remark wasn't too high or low, but Li Yiping heard it clearly. This was also the purpose of Old Mrs. He. This old woman's narrow-minded personality made her always look down on those below her. Whenever someone made her uncomfortable, she would immediately speak up and lash out at them, regardless of the situation or how the other person might feel!
Li Yiping clenched her fists tightly and silently endured it!
My daughter is all grown up now, what else can she do but endure this!
Old Mrs. He repeatedly said, "It's nothing but a small matter," as if it wasn't worth mentioning at all. But for this "small matter," she couldn't handle it on her own. When the younger generation of the He family asked what should be done next, she shamelessly said, "Just wait."
"Since Rong Ling has spoken, then let us just watch and wait. If Rong Ling truly lacks any sense of measure, I will definitely not spare him!"
She sounds really impressive!
But now, she is simply playing a game of "delay"!
Could she really stand facing Rong Ling like this!
No!
Now that she has broken up with Rong Ling, what will happen when He Ya returns with the child! As long as the He family uses the child to force Rong Ling and He Ya into marriage, they can't use the "both sides lose" tactic. That means even if Rong Ling does something outrageous, they can only bear it for now! Just like Rong Ling said, the bottom line is that the "root" isn't destroyed. As long as the "root" is still there, it can be revived!
But soon, Old Mrs. He would discover that the tactic of "marrying a child" was not foolproof!
The person in charge of searching for old newspapers about Lin Meng in J city has sent He Ya another message. This is a summary report!
"Miss He, I've checked inside and out. There's basically no news about Lin Meng. There is some news about Rong Ling, but he's with another woman, not Lin Meng!"
"How is that possible!"
He Yaxu raised her eyebrows and her voice became sharp. "It was definitely Lin Meng who reported it with Rong Ling at the time!"
She was also in City J at the time, but she had seen some newspapers.
"Ms. He, this is really impossible. Even if you sent someone else to investigate, they wouldn't be able to find anything out, and they might not even do a better job than I did!"
He Ya suspected that this team had influence, and the person couldn't help getting angry and arguing his point.
He Ya quickly calmed her tone. "I'm not doubting you, don't misunderstand. It's just that I had personally seen those reports before, so when you say there were none, I find it hard to believe!"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and his anger seemed to subside. He then spoke in a softer tone. "There probably is some reporting on it, but..."
"But what" He Ya eagerly pursued.
The person on the phone laughed. "Ms. He, you only asked me to search for those related newspapers before, so what I'm about to say is not worth the original price!"
He Ya cursed these people in her heart for being so obsessed with money, and replied with a very impatient and disdainful tone: "Money isn't an issue, I want results. I'm not short of money, what have you found out Tell me quickly!"
That man chuckled twice and complimented He Ya. “Miss He, with your status, you definitely wouldn’t tell lies. I like dealing with people like you — straightforward and efficient!”
"Cut the crap!" He Ya said impatiently.
The man saw that it was a good opportunity and immediately reported his findings.
After his initial investigation proved fruitless, he had to seek out other magazine editors and the like. Some of them were clueless, others evasive, and some wore expressions that were quite intriguing, almost as if they were terrified!
They are afraid!
As a private detective, he was the best at picking up on people's emotions!
But why be afraid! What is he afraid of!
As far as he knew, Lin Meng was just an ordinary person without a prominent background. He had also been abroad for four years and basically cut off contact with people in China. So why did these people react this way when he mentioned Lin Meng!
Nobody is willing to talk about this much, they mostly just shake their heads and say no!
He, of course, had his own ways. Through roundabout methods, getting people drunk, manipulating people with favors, and using threats and bribes, he finally uncovered a truly astonishing and jaw-dropping secret!
Four years ago, shortly after Lin Meng went abroad, the media industry in City J underwent a major shake-up. It's hard to imagine that such a large-scale reshuffle could happen so quietly. Many media outlets went bankrupt, employees scattered; some media were forcibly acquired by Biyi Entertainment; and even those media that remained steadfast seemed to have undergone a major staff overhaul. Accompanying this major shake-up was the disappearance of all previous reports about Lin Meng. Existing media show no record gaps, but reports related to Lin Meng before have been replaced with new content.
For example, let's say there was a magazine that once featured Lin Meng on the cover. But now, if you go to the magazine's office to look at that issue, the person on the cover has been replaced by someone else. And all the articles about Lin Meng have vanished without a trace, replaced with entirely different content!
This is quite a generous gesture!
To know, getting a magazine company to tamper with multiple magazines consecutively is feasible, but you're asking for all the media outlets in the large city of j and even those surrounding cities to collectively revise their original content. That kind of behavior can be described as "overreaching"! What kind of person has such power to force so many media outlets to falsify information
But the biggest surprise is yet to come!
Even if the media is forced to make changes, those magazines that have already been sold are in the hands of individuals. It's not something that can be changed just because you want it to be! If those magazines are found later and there are inconsistencies, it will be difficult to explain.
Even such magazines, the person responsible for investigating He Ya's case didn't find anything serious. This is because those related magazines had already been secretly bought back. This again brings up the "high-priced acquisition case" in City J four years ago. Ordinary paper is sold by the jin to the outside world. But for a period of time, some newspapers and magazines were hyped up to one yuan/sheet, two yuan/sheet, five yuan/sheet, ten yuan/sheet, or even hundreds of yuan/sheet!
Driven by such huge profits, people enthusiastically sold everything they had. In this way, all the paper products related to Lin Meng were quietly removed from public view, accompanied by some unrelated and insignificant paper products used as cover-ups.
And as for some of the posts online back then, well, needless to say, they've long been wiped clean!
There is no need to doubt it; this is a deliberate and purposeful purge. The power behind the person who made the move is simply unimaginable!
He Yaya, after hearing all this, was so angry that her whole body trembled, she could barely even hold the phone steady. The fact that things had changed in conjunction with Rong Ling also made her realize this truth without a second thought - that unparalleled powerful figure had to be Rong Ling!
That man, he's such an actor! For all these years, he's acted as if he deeply despised Lin Meng. He would even flip out when someone mentioned her, creating the false image that Lin Meng was a "terrible person from the past." But behind closed doors, he quietly did all this. If those old reports were released, it would have damaged Lin Meng's reputation. If he truly "deeply despised" her, why would he go to such great lengths to clean up after her and fix the messes she left behind!
He still has Lin Meng in his heart.
He did so that when Lin Meng came back, she would be free from burdens!
That woman treated him that way, even actively avoiding him, but he still protected her.
Then, he started doing all of these things!
Then, all these years, has he been secretly waiting for her to come back! That's why he cleaned up so thoroughly this morning!
He Ya bit her lip hard, and her slightly pale lips immediately split open, spilling a trace of blood. Tasting the metallic bitterness on her lips, she felt that her performance over the past few years was truly ridiculous!
She was wrong!
The mistake is to judge Lin Meng based on his identity from the beginning, and then elevate oneself while belittling Lin Meng!
That woman, Rong Ling really cares about her. Otherwise, with Rong Ling's pride, it would be impossible for her to do that after being played around like that!
She always thought that woman was no match for her, and with her past, there was no way she could marry into the Rong family. But she was wrong. With Rong Ling's personality and capabilities, if he truly had his eyes on that woman, he might actually be able to marry her. What could the Rong family do about it! If the Rong family were truly that powerful, then Rong Ling, with his illegitimate son status, would never have been able to rise to power!
Hate!
How hateful!
She clenched her slender hand so tightly, she almost crushed the phone!
"Haven't you found a single one of those related newspapers!" he questioned angrily.
"No, but give me some more time and maybe I'll have something to show for it!"
That person slyly replied that he didn't have any on hand right now, but with his skills, if he researched and researched some more, he believed it wouldn't be difficult to get a few. After all, there are always "escaped fish" in this world!
"Well then, I'll be waiting for your good news!" He Ya paused, then let out a cold laugh. "As for the price, that's no problem!"
That person was waiting for that very sentence. The reason he didn't finish things properly and instead left some parts incomplete to report to He Ya, was so he could earn more money.
The call is over, He Ya put away her phone!
Licking the blood from her lips with a wicked smile, He Ya laughed with a bloodthirsty glee. Within her anger and sorrow, there was also a hint of triumph!
Not too late!
It's not too late!
Rong Ling protected Lin Meng too well. First, he created the illusion of "disgust," and now he maintains a nonchalant and distant attitude, making people think he was simply keeping a mistress. This prevents anyone from taking her seriously.
Now she has discovered the secret!
It's not too late!
It's not too late!
If she really waits until she's pregnant to make a move, it will be too late. She has always thought that "Youyou" was a major obstacle and wanted to get rid of him. But actually, the real obstacle is Lin Meng. A child can be born again. But as long as that woman is alive for a day, she will never be able to marry Rong Ling!
If there's a dream, then she doesn't exist!
Therefore, Lin Meng must be eliminated!
Now that she's gone, everything else will naturally fall into place!
She immediately went to find Old Madam He and told her about her discovery. Old Madam He snorted, her cloudy old eyes filled with disdain. “I knew that woman was trouble. She looks like a vixen, bound to cause chaos. Hmph, Rong Ling's attack this time must have been instigated by that little fox!”
"Grandma, Lin Meng must be removed! With me instead of her!" He Ya's face was full of madness.
"Uh huh."
After a moment of silence, Old Mrs. He rasped, "This matter can't be rushed. We have to wait until you go abroad. That way, we can distance ourselves from it!"
She narrowed her eyes and let out a sinister cackle. "This world is full of disasters, both natural and man-made. Accidents like car crashes happen all the time, and even stabbings in broad daylight are common. Rest assured, killing someone without a trace isn't difficult at all!"
"Grandma --" He Yayuan called out happily. "You're the best to me, hehehe, thank you Grandma..."
Outside, Li Yiping, holding a fruit platter in her hand, was shocked! She knew that the old lady already disliked her a bit, so now she could only try her best to please her. She had specially peeled some fruits and brought them out to pay respects to the old lady, but just as she reached the door, she heard this unbelievable conversation.
For some unknown reason, she eavesdropped!
Now, her heart was pounding wildly in her chest, she was terrified!
If Rong Ling is truly as powerful as He Ya said, then why would the He family commit the murder of Lin Meng Wouldn't Rong Ling know everything in the end! Knowing everything, would Rong Ling obediently follow what the old lady expects, marry He Ya and pretend nothing happened!
No, this...this is too obvious!
Rong Ling might go crazy, and become even more vengeful!
Now, he can cause chaos within the He family without even making a sound, bringing most of their business to a standstill. If he were to openly attack them with full force, would the He family be able to withstand his wrath!
She -- couldn't imagine!
Inside, the aged voice and crisp sound still echoed back and forth, while she, holding a fruit tray, quietly retreated as if she had always done.
She doesn't have time to appease the old woman now, she needs to calm down and think things through. Alone, by herself, she needs to think things through carefully...hearted woman would be the one to take the initiative and come closer. But who knew she would say something like that!He immediately turned his head, glaring at her with ferocity. His eyes were cold y...
