ion workers, leading to fights frequently. So, the security personnel below were all quite skilled.Three bodyguards surrounded Gu Jianxi, fighting him without explicitly stating that more brothers wou..."What's this for "

She is so strapped for cash right now that she's watching her precious belongings being sent away, it feels like they're ripping flesh from her bones and drinking her blood. This is beyond mere reluctance; it's a matter of life or death.

Rong Fei Wu just glared at her.

“You’re never very well-informed, are you How could you ask such a silly question. Everyone outside knows that Third Brother gave Lin Meng a gift. I saw it just now, it was a sandalwood jewelry box, that box alone is worth a fortune, and the things inside must be even more expensive than the box. And of course, there’s definitely a small box inside the jewelry box, when you send gifts, you have to fill each box individually, otherwise, it would be a shame! So Third Brother definitely went all out with this gift. Even his uncle gave her one, how could I, as her father-in-law, not give her anything! I couldn’t possibly lose face like that!”

Du Caiyi choked. She knew about Rong San giving gifts, but when it came to her own family, she instinctively didn't want to do it. However, with Rong Feiwu saying it like this, she couldn't pretend anymore. She was also a woman who valued face; with Rong San leading the way, their family did need to show some gesture, but just a token of goodwill would be enough. She wouldn't give away anything valuable.

"That's just the way it is!" She forced down her reluctance, her face softening slightly. "Alright, I'll prepare the gift."

Let her get ready!

Rong Fei is not stupid. He doesn't believe this woman. Letting her prepare is just afraid that she will be even more embarrassed later.

"No need, I've already thought about everything, I'll just go get it!"

Du Caixin's heart skipped a beat, forcing down her displeasure as she asked, "What are you planning to send"

"Jade necklace!"

"What!" Du Caiyi's voice shot up instantly. "Is it that string of jade beads"

Rong Fei Wu Lue frowned, displeased with her exaggerated reaction. "What else could be suitable for a woman to receive"

Du Caiyi only felt a surge of blood rushing to her head, so intense that she almost fainted.

“No! No!” she shouted.

"Let me tell you this, in this house, I make the rules!"

"That necklace, you wouldn't give it to your daughter as a dowry back then, but now you're giving it to Lin Meng Giving it to that outsider Good job, Rong Fei Wu! Rong Fei Wu, this is how you treat your own daughter, this is how you treat your own people. Are you bewitched, or have you been seduced by that vixen after going there"

Rong Feiwu immediately sank his face and shouted angrily.

"Du Caiyi, my things, I want to give them to whomever I please, it's none of your business. We're both so old now, I don't want to make a fuss anymore, please don't push me!"

His glacial gaze could chill you to the bone.

Du Caiyi was immediately speechless. Rong Fei Wu, what did this mean Was he going to divorce her!

As soon as she thought of this, her whole body tensed up. Even the biggest anger was suppressed by her forcefully. Taking a deep breath, she tried to speak in a normal tone.

This gift is rather valuable, which is why I'm a bit flustered. Fifth Brother, Lin Meng is quite different from our family, and as you've seen, she doesn't hold any respect for you—

"Alright, alright!" Rong Feiwu impatiently interrupted her. "I have this under control. I've told you what needs to be done, and you know it. I warn you, stop causing trouble, or I won't hesitate to take action."

Du Caiyi immediately looked sorrowful and choked up slightly. "I'm just a bit sorry for our daughter!"

"What grievances are you talking about!" Rong Fei snorted coldly. "From childhood to adulthood, has she ever lacked anything to eat or use When she got married, didn't she take a lot of things away If you still think she's wronged, then give her all your belongings. Whatever you have saved, even if you give it all away, I won't interfere. But for the things on my side, how they are used is up to me, don't mess around. That pearl necklace will be given out soon. If I hear anything bad about you outside, don't blame me for being unkind!"

Rong Fei strode away, going to fetch the jade bead necklace himself.

Du Caiyi, threatened by Rong Fei's might, could only watch helplessly as he left. ( ..tw no pop-up ads) She wanted to kill him when she was carrying him, but she had to endure it.

She's at this age, if she causes any more trouble, she'd be utterly shameless. If things really got to the point of her divorcing Rong Fei, she might as well just end it all right there.

This breath, I can only endure it! Endure it!

It's one thing to endure, but anger is quite another.

Her own son had just died, and Rong Fei Wu was already making such a big move. His heart was too biased, hurting her deeply. She felt unwilling, resentful, angry, and hateful. Would she just sit here waiting to be trampled What if in the future, Rong Fei Wu would stand beside Rong Ling openly, maybe even going so far as to disown this family altogether!

This guess is frightening!

She has to guard against it!

* Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Rong Fei Wu deliberately returned in a hurry while everyone was there, during the most lively time. He took something and rushed back. This act showed his deep thoughtfulness. He knew he and Rong Ling couldn't go back to the beginning, and this good-for-nothing son didn't have any ulterior motives towards him. He estimated that his son even hoped that if he could appear less in front of him, it would be better. Under these circumstances, even if the gift he sent could buy the entire universe, in his son's eyes, it was worthless. As for Lin Meng, there was no need to say more. Since her son had that attitude, she would definitely have the same attitude. So, he could only gamble with his own face in front of everyone, betting that Lin Meng wouldn't directly reject the gift he sent.

He truly wanted to mend his relationship with his son. The past was the past, after all. It was a pity that he only had one son and one daughter left. His daughter was clueless, completely devoted to her husband's family. So, naturally, this only son became increasingly precious to him. He also made every effort to ease the tension between them.

Finally, in front of everyone, he gave out the gift.

"Mengmeng, your Uncle just gave you a big gift, so Dad can't be left behind. Just take this!"

Although what he said sounded smooth, everyone knew that this kind of action was inappropriate for this situation. So, the lively atmosphere went silent because of Rong Feiwu's actions. Everyone stared at the scene, waiting to see how Lin Meng would respond.

Lin Meng did not move.

Feng Fei's heart was slightly lifted. Seeing Lin Meng like this, his worries deepened, but he didn't show it on his face, maintaining a composed and relaxed demeanor. It seemed that this gift-giving was just a simple act.

This is just a small carved box, it doesn't look big at all, and it's only the size of an adult's palm. But everyone knows that in this tiny space, what's inside must be incredibly precious. Otherwise, Rong Fei Wu wouldn't have taken out this hand, nor would he have brought Rong San Bo out first.

What would Lin Meng do

Everyone was watching her closely. Because many people knew this was Rong Feiwu's gesture of goodwill, and even more humbly speaking, it was his way of pleasing them.

Lin Meng looked at Rong Fei Wu's eyes, they were piercing and glistening like two clear springs, also carrying a faint coolness. She sat there, without turning her head to look at Rong Ling, she just stared at Rong Fei Wu, her expression calm. Because, when she sat here, she was the mistress of the house, she needed her own decisions, rather than always seeking Rong Ling's opinion.

Lin Mengxiang understood that Rong Feiwu's actions were extremely risky. There was a high probability that she would refuse, and even if she did, some people might gossip, saying she wasn't giving him face. However, most people would understand, as her achievements over this period were undeniable, and people's hearts generally leaned towards her. Besides, the members of this tribe mostly knew about Lin Mengxiang's family and Rong Feiwu's past. If she refused, they could also understand. So, Rong Feiwu was in danger. In front of so many people, as a former head of his household, being so unceremoniously rejected by a young woman would result in ridicule, sympathy, or even sarcasm. No matter which it was, it would be negative. With Rong Feiwu's intelligence, he couldn't possibly not know how likely he was to be rejected, nor could he not understand that it would solely humiliate him, yet he still did it.

Fengfei Wu, is this a sincere gesture Then should I accept this kindness

……

No!

She doesn't want to!

She can't forget the hurt her husband suffered at his hands. Love, that's how it is, when you arrive too late, too late for me even needed it anymore, then what value does this love hold!

But, she still reached out her hand.

Because, despite her reluctance, others still paired Rong Fei Wu and her family together. If Rong Fei Wu lost face, then her family would lose some face as well. She could disregard herself, but she couldn't disregard her husband and her son!

A hand extended like a white scallion made Rong Feiwu's face instantly burst with ecstasy.

He won! He won!

This excitement is no less than when he made his first big deal in his life!

As everyone watched the wooden box being taken by Lin Meng, many hearts that had been hanging in suspense finally settled. Then they saw Lin Meng open the box, her slender fingers reaching inside and taking out what was inside.

The emerald fluorescence, under the light, spread out like a cluster of green lotus. Its breathtaking beauty elicited low gasps from the onlookers. Each jade bead, carved and large as a thumbnail, was priceless. And such beads were not just one or two, but dozens, strung together into an extravagant necklace. The clasp was a very rare and precious ruby.

"So beautiful..."

Low murmurs of praise immediately flowed out, as if they had been bewitched by this jade and could no longer control themselves.

Rong Fei proudly puffed out his chest. He would say, his gift was definitely top-notch, no matter where it was placed, it wouldn't be embarrassing!

But just the next second, Lin Meng did something that left many people stunned.
