bowing one's head and admitting fault
Just before dawn, Old Mrs. He was finally wheeled out of the operating room. The doctor said that because she was elderly and had a brain hemorrhage, it was uncertain when she would wake up after surgery. It could be very soon, or it could take some time. Her family should just take good care of her.
The He family's emotions were mixed at that moment. They both wished the old woman, who had brought misfortune to the entire family, would just disappear, and hoped she would wake up quickly because there was a huge mess in the house right now. If she really fell down, then the He family would truly be in chaos.
He Zhanxu, because there were still matters to attend to in the unit, could only hurriedly arrange for his grandmother's ward. He comforted and entrusted his mother before hurrying back to the unit after wiping his face with cold water. As soon as he left, everyone else immediately dispersed like birds. The old lady wouldn't be waking up anytime soon, so there was no need for them to gather here like wooden statues, wasting both time and energy. Moreover, given the old lady's current state, they couldn't help but think about their own small families. They would have to get together and plan carefully when they got back.
Finally, this high-end ward was left with only three women, including He's mother. He's mother looked at the empty scene and sighed inwardly, her head aching terribly. This was both the result of a sleepless night and the aftermath of this huge change. Seeing the grandson she was about to hold disappear like that was a great pain for her. Little Ru, that stinky girl, said those words again before leaving, really hurting her son. Her son didn't say anything, but his heartache must be no less than hers.
Thinking of this, she was filled with remorse and regret. How could she have been so blinded by her desire for a grandson She had driven her granddaughter and daughter-in-law away in such a hurry, and brought Xiao Ru over instead. Of course, the root of all this was that she had raised an incompetent daughter. People say that girls should be pampered, but her daughter's excessive pampering had truly become a scourge to the whole family. All these things, traced back to their origins, were all because of her own daughter, He Ya, and, of course, not least the one lying on the bed now!
But everyone in the He family had misjudged, this was only the beginning of Xiao Ru's affair.
Because Xia Ru's miscarriage was exposed, and because she clearly stated her severance with the He family, she didn't hide anything anymore. She told Lin Meng's people everything she knew and handed over some of the things she had collected. Previously, she kept these to herself, wanting to get a few more antiques from Old Mrs. He before leaving. As the head of the family, Old Mrs. He, during that turbulent era, because her initial stance was correct, and with Old Mr. He still alive, she cautiously understood how to hide wealth, so some good things left behind by the ancestors of the He family were not damaged much. Xia Ru's pregnancy with a grandson did allow her to obtain several treasures from Old Mrs. He, this greed, simply could not be contained. But now, it was all in vain.
With Xiao Ru's efficient handover of these things, it became even easier for Rong Jia to tidy up He Jia. He Jia reacted quickly, realizing that someone had betrayed them. Combining this with previous events, the He family immediately thought of Xiao Ru, who had already turned against them.
Now, the He family was furious and couldn't bear it anymore!
There's a saying that goes: "Husband and wife are like birds of the same forest, when disaster strikes they each fly in different directions." If even husband and wife behave this way, what about He Family's complicated mess of relationships
Besides He Zhanshu's faction, everyone else has had enough. Why did He Ya and her family cause all this trouble, yet they have to make the entire He family bear the consequences.
"Just sell the assets and split the family!"
Once this idea came out, it just wouldn't be contained!
The old men who are now in custody and under investigation at home, their families don't want to get involved anymore. The Liu family has completely stopped using them as a support system. How could they possibly come up with a plan to rescue people like He Kuan They're afraid this rescue operation would be a bottomless pit, no amount of money could fill it. So, for the sake of the whole family's livelihood, perhaps those old men should just sacrifice themselves. After all, the He family has some influence, those gentlemen won't be sentenced to death. Once that time comes, with enough money, they can get things cleared up, spend a few years in prison, and then come out.
These statements were widely discussed in private, and the clamor for a split became much louder. Since Old Madam He was still unconscious, the eldest person at home was Madam He. Due to the relationship between He Ya and Xiao Ru, everyone usually respected Madam He, but at this time they directly and impolitely pressured her.
Because of this, the assets under He's name became even more turbulent, and the vigor of those below him grew even greater.
Mother He was in a terrible predicament, overwhelmed by hardship. As for He Zhan, stationed in the military, he also faced untold suffering, with desires exceeding his capabilities!
The He family is tottering, for the Rong family, they are already prey trapped in a snare. Wait until the prey's body weakens just a little more, then it will be easy to strike and kill them.
At this time, Li Yiping surprised many people. She took Bingbing to seek out Rong Ling and Lin Meng.
This smart woman, having gone through so much, understood very well the importance of Lin Meng to Rong Ling. So, she was actually looking for Lin Meng seriously. When Lin Meng and his wife went out to pick up Xiao Haohuo and Xiao Youyou from Old Master Yan's place, she waited at the door of Rong Ling's house. When Rong Ling's car drove back, she directly pulled Bingbing and knelt down. The two happened to kneel in the middle of the road, blocking the car's path.
Lin Meng frowned as she sat in the car. The two little ones also frowned, their faces turning pale. Rong Ling sat in the car, his expression indifferent and unfathomable.
Li Yiping didn't beat around the bush. She stated her intention directly: she requested Rong Ling and his wife to show mercy and spare the He family a life. She promised that one day, if she or her daughter had a bright future, they would repay their kindness. Or, if Rong Ling and his wife ever needed help from them, they would be happy to oblige.
Li Yiping put on a brave face and told Rong Ling all the things Bingbing had done to harm Lin Meng in the past. She clearly explained everything and apologized to Lin Meng. Bingbing also kept saying sorry and kowtowed vigorously to Lin Meng. This girl had been disciplined by Li Yiping these days, and her personality had become much more stable. She didn't fake her kowtows; she hit the concrete floor hard, and after a while, her forehead was red and bleeding.
Lin Meng's brows furrowed again. After all, women's hearts are easily softened. Seeing Bingbing like this, she couldn't bear it. Actually, Lin Meng had already let go of what happened at the amusement park on her birthday. In that secret base covered with rose petals, when the man hugged her and said sorry, she let go. And she knew that there were twists and turns in this matter, and her own man must have known about it too. Those old scores between adults could just be left like that.
What she didn't expect was that this little girl, Bingbing, actually admitted her mistake and even kowtowed to apologize in front of so many people. Li Yiping had gone too far this time. She wasn't just losing face herself, but also her daughter's. After all, falsely accusing someone is not a glorious thing to spread around. Making her daughter admit and apologize publicly was actually a punishment for Bingbing as well. Li Yiping, she must have done this on purpose.
Lin Meng sighed in her heart. Thinking that Li Yi Ping was now in such a state, and He Zhanshu had reached that point, she still cared about the He family and came to ask for this favor. What is love in the world, it makes people...it makes people...
Oh!
This Li Yiping, she couldn't help but feel a bit sympathetic towards her. Moreover, this single mother with a daughter, Lin Meng thought about it for a moment, and found it difficult to be as hard-hearted as iron.
"Rong Ling..." She looked to the man sitting beside her for help.
"Make someone help them up!" Rong Ling finally spoke, but he was addressing Dayang. The moment Dayang received his gaze from the mirror, he made a phone call. Immediately, two men came out of the security room and forcibly pulled Li Yiping and her daughter up. Finally, after some effort, they managed to get the mother and daughter off the ground.
"Please..."
Li Yiping looked inside the car, her nose running and tears flowing. She didn't care about her image at all, she just let it go!
Lin Meng's hand grasped Rong Ling's big palm. Rong Ling clasped back, gently squeezing it, and said softly.
"This apology, it's what they both owe you. Don't feel bad about it!"
Lin Meng whispered, "I'm a little confused right now..."
He understands!
Given her personality, she would definitely be conflicted and flustered if something like this happened.
"I'll take care of it!"
He soothed her softly, but he didn't get out of the car. Instead, he just leaned his face out the window and looked at Li Yiping and her daughter with coldness, his tone icy and devoid of warmth.
"You two, get back! Let the ones who should come, come!"
The irresistible tone made Li Yiping pause for a moment before joy washed over her.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you..."
She exclaimed with delight, a faint blood trickle on her forehead, slowly sliding down her face. Lin watched silently, unconsciously clutching Rong Ling's large palm.
Rong Lingchong waved his hand outside, and then ordered Dayang to drive.
Li Yiping and her daughter were dragged aside by Rong Ling's subordinates to the side of the road. As the car slowly slid past Li Yiping and her daughter, Lin Meng couldn't bear it anymore. She crossed Rong Ling, leaned her face slightly towards the car window, and uttered a sentence.
"When you go back to tell them, just say that we are doing this out of respect for your mother and daughter!"
Why make it difficult for women She has already done what she can to help.
Outside the car window, Li Yiping stared blankly, tears welling up in her eyes, but she lowered her head. She was a smart woman, so she understood Lin Meng's last words! So, truly ashamed, truly grateful!
In the car, Lin Meng shrank back but still childishly rubbed her face against Rong Ling's shoulder, looking just as tangled as before.
Rong Ling's lips curled into a smile, his face no longer holding even the slightest trace of coldness.
"Alright, I've said everything. Don't think about it anymore. Be good, it's not a big deal, don't worry about it!"
Lin Meng rubbed her face fiercely before finally lifting her head.
"Oh, I've done it again!"
Her cheeks were flushed from the playful teasing. Rong Ling found it amusing, so he reached out and gently pinched her cheek, his tone laced with a smile that was more indulgent than reproachful.
"Aren't you supposed to stop thinking about it Still thinking"
Then she smiled shyly.
"What you just meant was that you're going to give the He family a way out, weren't you"
She better not get it wrong!
Rong Ling smiled mysteriously again. "Yes, and no. Let's see what the He family does!" So, your family can try to think about getting me and He Ya together, but the position of head of the Rong family, he cannot give it!He Kuan naturally and readily replied, "I know about this!""Then w...
