This week, how to accept (2)

lay there on the ground, chin resting on her hand, staring at Linglan with interest. She watched like this for quite some time, until lunchtime.The doorbell rang again, and she ran to it excitedly. Th...She handed the pearl necklace to Rong Fei Wu, and with her other hand, she subtly pulled the wooden box closer to herself.

"This gift is too precious, I feel unworthy of it. Your kindness, I understand. I like this rosewood box, so I won't be polite and will accept it. But this pearl necklace, please take it back. Wait for its true owner!"

Gasps of astonishment escaped the onlookers!

Although the sandalwood is precious, it's still just wood. Compared to this jade necklace, its value is negligible. Lin Meng actually left behind the wooden box and returned the valuable necklace! This is simply insane!

>While some may express their admiration vocally, others with greater fortitude remain silent in their praise.

With such a priceless treasure before him, Lin Meng remained unmoved. To say he would return it and actually do so was truly admirable! They all saw clearly: when Lin Meng opened the wooden box, the emerald green jewels caught her eye, yet her gaze remained unchanged. Her expression was still as calm as ever, as if it were an ordinary stone she had picked up on the roadside. When she reached out to take the pearl necklace, her movements were graceful and natural. The necklace trembled not in her hand, a testament to her inner peace. She took the box with one hand and returned the necklace with the other. Her actions were elegant yet decisive, even her rejection was as gentle as a light breeze caressing her cheek.

Her performance, no matter who sees it, wouldn't think she was slapping Rong Feiwu's face. No one could find fault with it. Because Rong Feiwu's affection, she received it, taking the wooden box that had a destiny with her. And jade has always been said to be spiritual. Her words letting this necklace wait for the true destined person, yet having a heart of cherishing and loving jade, would make people feel even more elegant about her. Moreover, in this world, how many people could have such feelings to leave behind the box and send out this precious jade!

This is the true mistress of the house, she won't be blinded by expensive things easily!

And, with that push of hers, she did it perfectly. She didn't hit Rong Feiwu's face, but also made it clear to the discerning that she wasn't entirely accepting his affections!

This move is high and clever!

Such a woman, when she is the mistress of the household, is truly excellent, excellent!

In the eyes of those who admired him, there was also a hint of joy. Even Rong Sanbo, who was sitting on one side, showed a faint smile and nodded slightly.

Of course, he loved his wife naturally. He thought she was the best no matter what. Now seeing his wife handle this so well, though his expression remained as cold as ever, his eyes shone with admiration.

Even Rong Fei Wu was a big shot, seeing the true gift being returned, although his excitement and pride instantly evaporated, his face almost couldn't hold up. However, when he met Lin Meng's faint smile, his heart calmed down. A few thoughts flashed through his mind, and he immediately chuckled, naturally taking the pearl necklace.

"Alright, I'll do as you say. Let it wait for its destined person, hehe…"

Then, he casually shoved the priceless pearl necklace into his trouser pocket, not showing it any regard, as if its true value had already been lost when it passed through Lin Meng's hands.

When the curtain fell on this scene, many people looked at Lin Meng with even more admiration. Many people asked themselves, if such a treasure were presented to them, could they remain unmoved!

I'm afraid not!

After this, everyone's attitude towards Lin Meng became even more enthusiastic. The grand family gathering was filled with joy and warmth thanks to Lin Meng's beautiful performance. Later on, someone suggested that Rong Ling and Lin Meng should come back to live in the clan. It wasn't appropriate for these two, who were considered the heads of the family, to stay away from their kin. Living within the clan would surely make it more convenient for them to handle matters.

But Rong Ling refused, saying that things were fine as they were now. Besides, he was only acting as the leader for now. Once this crisis passed, he would step down.

At that time, the clan would choose a suitable person to take his place.

As soon as these words were spoken, the excitement in everyone's hearts turned to dismay. Some even wore expressions of panic on their faces.

So it turns out, this position that everyone admires and many covet, in Rong Ling's eyes, is still worthless. You had intentions to force him down from that position, but who knew he didn't care at all.

This time, everyone sincerely wants Rong Ling to take this position, and naturally it's better if they can stay in it for a long time.

So some people's eyes turned to Lin Meng, hoping to get something from her. But Lin Meng's attitude, just like Rong Ling's, was utterly hopeless. It turned out that she didn't care about the position of head wife at all. After all, just look at how casually she returned the pearl necklace earlier, it showed that she wasn't someone who cared much for material possessions. And from her previous actions, it was clear she wasn't someone who craved fame and fortune either.

Those who once shouted to drive Lin Meng out and prevent her from handling family affairs or managing Yadon, calling her ambitious and plotting against the Rong family, are now ashamed. They truly acted like villains, completely "judging others by their own selfish standards"!

It's so embarrassing!

Some people simply hung their heads or quietly retreated to the outer layer.

The atmosphere was a bit cold and stiff.

Everyone says that blood is thicker than water, but these two clearly put fame and fortune above all else. They have no idea how to give advice, and besides, there's no way Rong Ling could convince them. As for Lin Meng, she's probably just as tough. You can tell from her recent actions that she's soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Once she's made up her mind, it's almost impossible to change it.

How could they possibly let him go!

When the anger had grown increasingly heavy, Rong Sanbo finally spoke.

"Today isn't a welcome back for me, is it How did we end up here while talking about something else! Let's not talk about that, let's not talk about that—"

As soon as he got the hint, his quick wit immediately agreed.

"Yes, yes, don't mention it, don't mention it --"

The more cunning ones immediately steered the conversation to a different topic, brushing this matter aside.

Since the crisis was far from over, they had plenty of time to come up with a good plan. There was no need to rush into things and confront Rong Ling and the other right away!

The outcome is in your hands!

They always find a way to keep this couple!

Shortly after, the formal dinner began. When everyone had finished eating almost all their food, three children walked over and sat beside Xiao Youyou and Xiao Haohuo who were sitting next to Lin Meng.

"Auntie, we want to invite Rongyu and Jiang Haofeng over to play games with us. Can we"

The little boy speaking had fair skin and big, bright eyes that seemed full of intelligence and wit. He was also very polite and composed in his dealings with Lin Meng, making him rather endearing.

Lin Meng then asked the three children their names and lowered her head to touch the heads of her two sons.

"Several brothers sincerely invite you to come and play. You should go. But be careful, and don't cause trouble for others."

Children, especially boys, would still benefit from interacting with more friends.

The two kids, upon hearing this, jumped down from their chairs and followed the three kids. Finally, as it got late, Lin Meng had someone help guide the two younger ones back. After they returned, both of their little faces were flushed red, covered in sweat, and their hair was soaked through. However, their eyes shone particularly brightly. It seemed like the two were having a very happy time.

The boy who had previously been the leader, Rong Yiyan, also came over. He smiled at Lin Meng like a little adult and told her to bring Youyou and Haohuo over to play more often. Lin Meng smiled and nodded, holding the two children's hands and following behind Rong Ling.

As soon as they got in the car, both kids couldn't hold back and started chattering excitedly. They were so thrilled that they even started dancing. It turned out that both kids had been holding back all along. It was during a game of "Police and Robbers" with the children from Rong's family that they teamed up with Rong Yiyan and others, using their smaller numbers to their advantage and defeating the other side soundly.

"Hehehe, you little punk, trying to pull a fast one on us Just wait until I and Haohao get our hands on them; they'll be begging for mercy!"

Lin Meng's face darkened when she heard this. When did this child become so violent

"Get to the point! Do you understand" Lin Meng scolded. "The most important thing about martial arts is to strengthen your body and mind, second is to protect the people you need to protect, not to bully others, do you know that"

Little Youyou immediately stuck out her tongue. "I know, I didn't bully anyone either, it was just playing games, playing games..."

Xiao Hao thought of several companions who had been beaten up and bruised. He wisely chose to remain silent immediately. Anyway, he was used to being silent, and his mommy probably wouldn't give him too hard a time.

This kid is sly and cunning.

As expected, Lin Meng, who had picked up on some clues, began to inquire about playing games in detail. Xiao Youyou was starting to get overwhelmed and elbowed Xiao Haohuo several times, but Xiao Haohuo just acted like a mute, refusing to speak no matter how much he was nudged. This made Xiao Youyou furious, his eyes blazing with anger. He thought to himself, "This brother has no loyalty at all!"

Rong Ling spoke up at that moment, coming to Xiao Youyou's rescue.

"Children are just playing around, there's no need to make a fuss. Boys need a little bit of discipline to truly grow up!"

When Lin Meng dreamed heard this, he stopped asking.

Xiaoyou was overjoyed and immediately pounced on Rong Ling, calling out "Daddy" repeatedly in a fawning manner. Rong Ling raised his hand and lightly tapped his head as a small reprimand, then straightened him up and held him firmly in his arms.

"Listen carefully to what your mother says. She trained you to be strong, not reckless!"

Since daddy, the big boss, said so, little Youyou naturally nodded in agreement.

Rong Ling turned back and said to Lin Meng.

"Those kids came to play with Youyou, I bet they were sent by an adult!"

Lin Meng was slightly taken aback, then quickly understood.ands proved that He Ya's art exhibition was definitely going to be held, and that too very soon, just five days later! The He family hoped that this grandly named exhibition could quickly dispel the r...
