Sedimentation (6)
n't many cars on the road. The agile and smooth black Porsche, like a black panther, galloped gracefully and swiftly on the road, and soon arrived at Lin Meng's school - No. 4 Middle School!“I...can I..."I'm your older brother. Right now, I don't have a job and no money. I can't afford to raise this child. You're my younger sister, you live in such a nice house and have so much money. Please help me raise this child! Just consider it a favor from your older brother!"
It's called a request, but it doesn't feel like a sincere one. ( ... tw's good-looking novels) Besides, she has nothing to do with the Lin family anymore. Does it matter to Lin Dong where she lives or if she has money
“I won’t raise this child, absolutely not. You need to raise your own child; that’s a parent’s duty! If you don’t have a job, find one. If you don’t have money, earn some. You’re a father now, and you have responsibilities. It's time to be down-to-earth and get things done!”
Lin Dong acted like a rascal. "I haven't looked for work in a long time, this sudden request to find a job and go to work, I should have an adjustment period, right So, you take care of the child first, I'll go find a job. When I find one, I'll come back and pick up the child!"
He's making this a "drag" and a "stall." The child enters Lin Meng's home, and he doesn't find work for a day. This child has to be supported by Lin Meng every day. Over time, as the child is cared for, feelings develop. Keeping the child at Lin Meng's home becomes natural!
With just this little bit of cunning, he dares to show off in front of Lin Meng! She's long since not the naive and innocent Lin Meng she used to be!
"Child, raise yourself that way!"
She is just Lin Meng. She is not a saint, nor a bodhisattva, so who the child belongs to and who raises him, she has no control over it. She can't worry about that much, and this child is someone she absolutely cannot touch. Firstly, the child is very young, only a few months old. If she took in the child, it would be like serving her ancestors, pure self-inflicted suffering. Such a young child, if raised well, others might not praise you. If raised poorly, it's a lifetime of criticism. Most importantly, the child's father is Lin Dong and his grandmother is Jin Sai Mei. She doesn't want to have anything to do with these two people!
She was even more blunt and unceremoniously ordered them to leave.
"You two, listen carefully. I, Lin Meng, and the Lin family have nothing to do with each other anymore, so please don't come near me trying to get close. Take this child back, she has nothing to do with me!"
Lin Dong was getting impatient. "How can you be like this You're surnamed Lin, you are a member of the Lin family. This is something that no one can change!"
"That's right!" Jin Sai Mei chimed in hastily. "Your family has raised you for over a decade, so it can't be as simple as saying it doesn't matter. You've taken care of other children who have no blood relation to you. This is your own niece, why can't you take care of her! At worst, we'll cover the child's upbringing costs!"
"Oh, please! I don't need your pathetic child support!" she said plainly. "I just want nothing to do with you people, and you should know that by now. Get out, or I'll call someone to escort you!"
Her face turned cold, and in that moment, the exposed coldness and majesty were somewhat frightening.
Jin Sai Mei was a bit timid, but when she thought about the child in her arms and the wealth and glory that awaited him if he entered the Lin Meng family, her heart was basically blinded by lard. She didn't have the aura to subdue Lin Meng, but her old trick of crying, making a fuss, and threatening suicide was well-practiced. Especially these years because of Lin Dong's debts, people often came to collect, and she had mastered this tactic to perfection!
“Ouch!” She cried out, slapping her thigh hard and collapsing to the ground, sobbing loudly. “You child! After all these years of raising you, is this how you repay me How can you be so heartless Your own cousin, you refuse to take care of, but go and raise a stranger, what kind of logic is that Mengmeng, you can't be so ungrateful. Think back, that heartless woman just abandoned you when you were only a year old! I raised you from diapers to adulthood, all those sacrifices, do you forget them A person shouldn't be so heartless, this will invite divine retribution! If people hear about it, they'll point fingers at your spine!”
"That's right, that's right, Mengmeng, upper-class families pay the most attention to appearances. If you do this to your family, people will laugh at you, and your child will be affected when they grow up. Nannan is a girl who is easy to raise. You have an appetite, just feed her. Our family has raised you for sixteen years, so it's only natural that you raise Nannan for sixteen years!"
"Stop, stop!" Lin Meng waved his hand. "I already paid back the debt of raising me with money, you don't have to bring it up!"
Lin Dong's expression on this front immediately revealed his embarrassment.
"Jin Saimei cried out in despair. "Money What money! I haven't touched any of it! Some of it was used to find you, some was squandered by your brother, and some was spent on your father's medical bills. Mengmeng, I haven't spent your money. I am your mother, and in the household register, you are my daughter. I have raised you for so many years, this is a fact, you can't be heartless and deny me!"
This mother-and-son duo are going back and forth, making quite a spectacle of themselves! It's really annoying.
Lin Meng also figured out the intentions of these two people. There was no need to entangle with them any further, so she turned her head to look at Zun Shu and instructed him.
"Uncle, ask two people to take these two away. From now on, don't let these two people come to the door!"
This is basically a death sentence, Jin Sai Mei didn't beat around the bush, and stood up from the ground with a huff.
"I'm your mother, why would a daughter chase her mother away! You're so rude to me, then I'd like those news media to have a good look, this daughter, after she becomes successful, how does she treat her own mother!"
"You're not my mother, you're my stepmother!"
"I raised you, so I'm your mother. As everyone says, raising a child is greater than giving birth to one. I raised you, so this bond is huge!"
The baby girl in her womb had been fully woken by her sudden fright and yelling. Now, she opened her mouth wide and cried out loudly. The sound pierced Lin Meng's head with pain.
The lowest person is invincible.
Bring children into this!
Janice Mei, Lin Dong, you guys are really something! Doesn't she get angry Does she think she's not capable of it!
“Child support, I’ve given it. No matter how you spend it, as long as it’s spent on the Lin family. Don’t keep going on and on about being relatives with me. My patience is limited. If you want to leave peacefully, then I’ll have people send you off properly. But if you don’t know your place, don’t blame me for getting rude!”
“Oh, threatening us!” Jin Sai Mei suddenly raised the crying baby she was holding. “You’re so capable, why don’t you just kill both of us, a grandmother and her granddaughter Then what are you going to say when we’re both dead”
Leaning her head forward, she pulled Mrs. Jiang in closer. "This lady," she said, her voice tight, "please be a witness for me. You heard what Lin Meng said, didn't you Now, if anything happens to me, or this child... please help us get justice!"
Jiang's mother frowned, her slender eyebrows furrowing. Disgust flashed in her eyes, and a certain thought in her heart began to swell violently at the same time.
Lin Meng wouldn't even put Jin Saimei's threat in her eyes. Besides, Mother Jiang wouldn't stand on Jin Saimei's side. She still had some confidence in that. She waved her hand, motioning for Zun Shu to call someone over. On this side, she looked at Jin Saimei with a cool smile, finding it quite amusing.
"Everything boils down to evidence. Whether you die or someone else dies, without evidence, don't even think about blaming it on others. Now, Jin Sai Mei, Lin Dong, let me have a serious talk with both of you. Legally speaking, I have no obligation to raise Lin Dong's child. Even if you died, Lin Dong died, or Lin Zi died, I wouldn't want to raise the child, and no one else can force me to. Even if you, Jin Sai Mei, were my biological mother, and Lin Dong my biological brother, I wouldn't have an obligation to raise him. Besides, you are my stepmother, and Lin Dong and I are half-brothers. Let's talk about you involving the media. What are your qualifications What are Lin Dong's qualifications You want to smear me through this Then weigh carefully your status and your resources. You accuse me of being ungrateful, but I can easily counter that you are greedy for wealth and power, with ulterior motives. One thing is clear: my power far surpasses yours. I've dealt with the media before; frankly, some of them are afraid of me. If you don't believe me, go ahead and test it. But let me warn you, once you use the media to wage war against me, the final outcome will be that you'll become public enemies, hated by everyone. You'll be worse off than you are now, a hundredfold more miserable. Don't believe me Go out and contact the media! Go!"
Lin Meng chuckled lightly, but her eyes were icy cold. "Get out of here, do whatever you want! You have time, I'm even more idle. Things have been a little boring lately, and I just need something to play with!"
The final smile revealed a strong sense of evil. Jin Sai Mei and Lin Dong were stunned, completely subdued. Lin Meng had weathered many storms, having been the chairman's wife, the head of the Rong family, and now the designated successor to the Rong family matriarch. She had dealt with many powerful people. Her aura had been cultivated unconsciously long ago.
What she said wasn't as brutal as the threats you hear from gangsters, those who promise to break bones and limbs or wave knives around, vowing to wipe out entire families. But when she spoke of "playing games," a chill ran down your spine. It felt like... being constricted by a snake!
Golden Sae and Lin Dong had been harassed by debt collectors for years, their spirits were already broken. Hearing Lin Meng's words, the two swallowed nervously.
At this moment, two burly men over six feet tall entered from outside. Their faces were cold and stern as they strode toward Lin Dong and his mother.
Jin Sai Mei was a little scared. She thought, maybe she should just take the child and leave first. Lin Meng was tougher than they imagined!
Lin Dong was afraid, but he had also made up his mind. Because once he went out this time, he would never want to come back to this house again, and basically there was no hope left. So, he had to finish it all in one go today. He figured that Lin Meng wouldn't kill him at this time, at most he would just be beaten up. If he got beaten up, in exchange for future wealth and glory, then he would bear it. So, after thinking about it, he softened his words.
“Dreamy, don't do this. I'm your brother, your own family. Help me out today, and in the future, my family will help you too. A woman who marries into a wealthy family needs someone from her own family to support her. Otherwise, she'll be taken advantage of later on. Haven't you seen those reports in the newspapers They all talk about this! Zi Zi has married the president of Tangshi Enterprise and is now the chairman's wife. She can help you too in the future—”
"My daughter, no need for outsiders to help!" A clear voice, yet carrying an air of authority, suddenly rang out. The speaker was none other than Jiang's mother! After much deliberation and contemplation, she had finally made up her mind.
Lin Meng looked at Jiang Mu in astonishment!
Everyone in the house looked astonished!
Jiang Mu patted Lin Meng's hand and smiled faintly. When she turned her head to look at Jin Sai Mei and her son, her face turned cold. This woman, who had once been a powerful figure in the business world, ran a company on her own, and her husband was also someone of status. She was naturally full of aura and fierceness.
"You're looking at our Mengmeng because her mother isn't here, so you came to bully her, didn't you"
Jiang's mother let out a cold laugh. "You can go out and find out who my Yan Xiyan is! To dare to bully my daughter, that's really living on borrowed time. The law does stipulate that children have the obligation to support their parents, even stepparents, but that's only if the stepparents raise the children well. Jin Sai Mei, how much have you given Mengmeng over these twenty years You know it in your heart. And how much have you taken from Mengmeng You must also understand. Stirring up the media—"
"Jiang's mother let out a cold snort. "If you really want to make a scene, do it big. Go straight to court and see what the final judgment will be. Before accusing her of being ungrateful, think carefully about who is currently taking care of your husband. Who paid for his expensive nursing home placement Also, reflect on your own precious daughter, Lin Zi. What did she use to catch Tang Shengjun's eye And what did she use to marry that old man Tang! If you really want to make a mess, the first person who will be humiliated is Lin Zi. Believe me, I can get Tang Shengjun and Lin Zi divorced and ensure that your Lin family gets nothing from this!"
Jin Sai Mei and Lin Dong drew in a collective gasp. They couldn't believe that this somewhat familiar woman knew so much about their Lin family's situation!
“You… are you Mengmeng’s biological mother” Jin Sai Mei trembled her lips, fear flashing in her eyes!
Ms. Jiang smiled faintly. "I'm her godmother, but I protect my daughter's heart just as much as a biological mother would. My abilities are not something ordinary people can provoke! Lin Zi has finally married into a wealthy family, so I advise you all to be honest, otherwise, you came from where, and you go back there!"
After that, her eyes were as cold as needles!
Jin Sai Mei shrank her shoulders, her head in a daze, not knowing what to do. Lin Dong was the same way. The woman before them could call Tang Shengjun by name and directly address him as "Old Man Tang," which meant she was definitely someone formidable. Such a person was terrifying!
"I… I just want Mengmeng to help me raise my daughter. Her kids turn out so well!" Lin Dong said dryly, still a little unwilling to give up. However, it was clear that he was about to break.
If the Jiang family mother knew about this today, she would have to nip it in the bud directly, otherwise, it would be a recurring problem. What she just said could only scare that person for a while. If she wanted to truly subdue them for life, she had to let them see her power!
So, she raised an eyebrow coldly and pointed at Lin Meng. "Don't you even know who is sitting in front of you"
Lin Dong and Jin Saimei both made a blunder. How could they not know, this is Lin Meng!
Mother Jiang shook her head, thinking to herself that these two people were indeed foolish.
“The person sitting in front of you is someone that most powerful figures in this huge city B wouldn't dare to provoke. She hasn't been harsh on you because she still values the family relationship, otherwise, if she disregarded it, today, you wouldn't even be able to enter this house, let alone get to her doorstep and walk away unharmed. You are foolish, unaware of the situation, so you dared to come here uninvited, and even said you would raise the child for Mengmeng Your child is fortunate enough to have such a blessing The two outsiders living in this house now, one has a grandfather who is the head of the military region, and his father is the chairman of Jianghe Group; the other has a grandfather who is the head of the Rong family, and his grandmother's family are the Mu family. Go investigate for yourself, which one of these people can you possibly reach Oh—”
Jiang's mother sneered. "With your status, you probably don't even know how formidable those people I just mentioned are. It doesn't matter, there's still Lin Zi here, go ask her, who those people really are! Also, go and investigate thoroughly, who Rong Ling and Lin Meng truly are! When you find out, if you still dare to marry into this family, then I'll be impressed!"
Jinsai Mei and Lin Dong were frightened, their faces turning as white as paper. Jiang Mu's cold and harsh words were more terrifying than the little baby girl's desperate cries. Her words felt like a sharpened sword, piercing through the air with icy malice, slicing right to the heart of everyone present. Just one step closer, and it would have been fatal!
Jiang's mother let out a few cold snorts and closed her mouth.
Lin Mengqi opened her lips and spoke slowly, her words casual, yet each one sent a chill down people's spines.
“You guys came to her doorstep today, Lin Zi doesn't know about it. Right now, she's the only one you can rely on, don't ruin her hard-won marriage. There are plenty of pretty little actresses in this world, Old Tang can marry Lin Zi, and he can marry someone else later. But if Lin Zi loses Old Tang, she'll definitely break with all of you!”
Of course!
This is said with absolute confidence!
Though she didn't speak in a threatening tone, the hidden edge in her last words sent shivers down your spine!
Jin Sai and Mei's visit to Lin Meng was precisely timed with Lin Zi and Tang Shengjun's trip abroad for their honeymoon. While Lin Zi had married Tang Shengjun and become the chairman's wife, it was merely a superficial facade of grandeur. Tang Shengjun already had children, his company was primarily managed by his son, and most of his assets were pre-divided. The portion Lin Zi could receive was only a small part. Given the circumstances of the Tang family and Lin Zi's situation, Lin Dong would absolutely not send his daughter to be raised by Lin Zi, lest it become a burden for her in the future. In Lin Dong's memory, Lin Meng remained the same as before. Although he heard she had grown wealthy and capable, their interactions were limited, and his original impression of her still held sway. Therefore, he went to her doorstep with his daughter. It was also due to a sliver of hope that he harbored, thinking that since Lin Meng already had three children, adding one more wouldn't make much difference. Besides, those three were boys, and they could be quite mischievous. His daughter, on the other hand, would undoubtedly be more cherished compared to them. However, he was completely taken aback by Lin Meng's power – she had managed to orchestrate a divorce between Tang Lao Tou and Lin Zi, even severing their ties with each other!
Lin Dong felt regret in his heart. All his gambling money came from Lin Zi. That girl was crazy, really pushing her to the limit. She could do anything. As siblings who had been together for so many years, Lin Dong knew very well about Lin Zi's personality and methods. He wasn't unaware of Rong Ling's methods either, but he couldn't bear to not bring his daughter over to try. Besides, firstly, he was Lin Meng's elder brother, and secondly, Lin Zi was now wealthy and married Tang Shengjun, a well-known figure in the business world. But that awe-inspiring Tang Shengjun, who seemed so powerful, became an insignificant person as soon as he arrived at Lin Meng's place!
This dream of mine, it's so deep, too deep!
He was truly terrified. At that moment, he remembered Lin Zi's many warnings in the past, telling him not to provoke Lin Meng, saying that Lin Meng was someone you couldn't mess with. But he really had no idea just how unprovokable Lin Meng was.
He was so frightened that he trembled several times. He stammered as he tried to speak.
"This... I'm here... just because... just because I think Mengmeng is good. Since we can't keep her, then... just... forget it!"
So weak that even flattery seems ineffective!
Lin Meng with a wave of his hand, the two bodyguards came over to invite people. They said it was an invitation, but in the end, it was more like dragging them along. Lin Dong and Jin Sai Mei were almost dragged all the way out, because both of them were so scared that their legs went weak. Jin Sai Mei was finally about to lose her grip on her child, slipping once, the child almost fell to the ground, but the bodyguard reacted quickly and caught the child in time.
When Lin Meng saw it, he frowned.
I really don't understand what this family is up to. To say that all the expenses on her father's side are covered by her, and Jin Se-mei claims she doesn't provide anything, but Jin Se-mei lives in the nursing home under the guise of caring for her father, eating with him too. The most basic necessities of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, she doesn't have to worry about at all. What else does she want! Lin Zi-shen, as a star whose fame is growing bigger and earning more money, could easily ensure Jin Se-mei and Lin Dong have comfortable lives with room for some spending. This mother-son duo doesn't raise their own child but relies on others to support their child through backdoor means. It's simply despicable!
She had to call Linzi back, she still needed to threaten her. As for Lin Dong and Jin Saimei, things couldn't just end there. These people, if you don't give them a good lesson, they'll keep making mistakes!
She was deep in thought when Jiang's mother gently called out to her.
"Dreamy!"
She immediately came to her senses and saw Mother Jiang looking at her somewhat embarrassedly.
"This... Auntie acted on her own accord and considered you her daughter. You won't blame Auntie, will you"
Although she said so, she couldn't help but eagerly gaze at Lin Meng.
