Chapter 228: Who is Closer: The Son or the Little Uncle?

Besides going against her, what else can she do?

Mrs. Kong raised an eyebrow, "Who?"

"Si Rong."

"Is she your relative?" Mrs. Kong looked disdainful.

Lin Meixi:...

Mrs. Kong really seemed not to know Si Rong; otherwise, her acting skills were just too good.

She herself couldn't spot a single flaw.

Could it be that she was overthinking it, and this matter had nothing to do with Si Rong?

"Xiao Fang, you're back!" Lin Meixi had originally intended to bring Mrs. Kong back quietly to see Kong Lingdong once.

She hadn't expected Wang Shen to be so annoying; she was everywhere.

As soon as they entered the Family Quarters, Wang Shen recognized Mrs. Kong.

"Xiao Fang, have you been well all these years?"

When Mrs. Kong lived in the Junshuyuan in the past, she had very good relationships with the neighbors.

Wang Shen was very excited; seeing her good friend of many years, she couldn't bear to be separated for even a moment and followed her directly to the Kong Family.

Lin Meixi:...

Not only that, but Wang Shen also brought several neighbors along.

Among them was Wu Ma, the servant from Si Rong's house.

Just like that, the Kong Family became very lively all of a sudden.

In front of so many people, Lin Meixi exchanged a look with Shen Chi, who was holding Kong Nuo.

Now did not seem like the best time for Mrs. Kong to meet Kong Lingdong.

"Where is Kong Lingdong?"

Mrs. Kong asked them.

"Uh, he is resting right now. You don't know, but ever since his stroke, his temper has been quite bad, and he doesn't want the house to be too noisy."

Mrs. Kong saw through the couple's intentions at a glance and immediately said to her son behind her, "Go in and find your dad!"

The boy responded and pushed past Shen Chi to rush inside.

To stop him, Shen Chi almost dropped the child in his arms to the ground.

"This child," Mrs. Kong said with a smile, looking at Lin Meixi, "he really looks like my father-in-law. This face shape, it's so similar!"

The neighbors burst into laughter, especially Wang Shen, "That's right, you've been away for so many years, and as soon as you return, someone has added a little uncle for you!"

Shen Chi suppressed the anger in his heart and remained silent.

Like the old Commander Kong?

He recalled the appearance of that old man in his mind, then looked at the child in his arms; it did seem a bit similar.

No! It must just be a coincidence; this is clearly his son!

"Mom! I found my dad!"

The boy pushed the wheelchair into the courtyard; the smell on Kong Lingdong was enough to almost choke the neighbors in the courtyard.

"Xiao Fang! Save me! All these years, the only woman I have loved in my heart is you!"

Seeing this strong-willed woman again, Kong Lingdong felt as if he had seen a savior.

He only now realized that this Lin Meixi was only submissive on the surface; in reality, her heart was as venomous as a snake or scorpion.

Letting a wild man enter his home and even share a bed with her—it was simply shameless!

He wanted to kick Lin Meixi out!

"Oh? I thought your true love was your successive Little Mothers!"

Wan Fang mocked without any restraint.

The neighbors burst into laughter again.

Kong Lingdong no longer cared about such sounds; he only hoped to escape from Lin Meixi's clutches.

"I didn't come to reminisce with you; it's just that this one of yours," Wan Fang couldn't think of how to address Lin Meixi for a moment, "this person ran to the company wanting to seize power. I just came to ask you about a promise from back then: the company is left to our son, right?"

Lin Meixi and Shen Chi's hearts were in their throats.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Although Kong Lingdong's words were not clear, everyone could still understand, "Our company is all left to our son."

Lin Meixi widened her eyes, "Lingdong, what about our Nuonuo?"

"Don't you dare covet the family business of our Kong Family! If Nuonuo is filial in the future, I naturally won't let him go hungry!"

Besides, Nuonuo might not even be his son; he might be his little uncle.

He could still tell who was closer between a little uncle and a son.

Lin Meixi:...

"You are being too biased!"

Kong Lingdong didn't look at her, only at Wan Fang, praying that she would remember their love from when they were young and take him away from this sea of misery.

Wan Fang was very satisfied, "That's good. The legal heir to the company was originally the son's name. With your words today, I am somewhat relieved."

"Since the matter is settled, I will be leaving first."

It wasn't that Wan Fang didn't see the pleading in Kong Lingdong's eyes, but people must always pay for their own foolish pasts.

Since he invited a wolf into his home, he could only bear the consequences alone.

Pushing Lin Meixi too far would do her no good.

After watching the lively scene, Wu Ma immediately went home to tell Si Rong about it.

Si Rong was arranging flowers; it was the season of late autumn, and the sweet osmanthus were in full bloom, their fragrance pleasant and refreshing.

The spectacle at the Kong Family was indeed worth watching.

Since Mrs. Kong had returned, Lin Meixi and Shen Chi naturally could no longer reap the benefits without effort.

This was her goal.

By what right should the hard work of several generations of another family change hands because of their schemes?

She was helping Mrs. Kong, and she was also helping that version of herself in a parallel universe.

It was just that Si Rong had not expected Wan Fang to come looking for her.

That was on the evening of the second day, as she was walking home from school with her two children.

Wan Fang stood at the intersection, smiling and nodding at her.

Si Rong returned the smile; the two of them felt quite like old friends at first sight.

"Regarding Lingdong's matter, I must thank Mrs. Jiang."

Wan Fang certainly knew that there was no such thing as kindness without a reason in this world; it was nothing more than Si Rong having some grudge against that bitch Lin Meixi.

But regardless, she had received a solid benefit.

That was why she had come specifically to say a word of thanks.

Their Wan family had moved their business abroad years ago, and the Kong Family's company was merely icing on the cake for them.

But the Kong Family was, after all, the debt of her youth; if not for the bread, then for the principle—since Kong Lingdong had promised to leave the company to their son, it could only belong to her son.

"Are these two children of yours fraternal twins?" Wan Fang looked at the two little ones beside Si Rong with kind eyes.

Si Rong nodded, "Yes, the boy is the older brother, and the girl is the younger sister. Say hello to the auntie!"

"Hello, Auntie!" Jiang Sinian called out properly.

Jiang Siyu, however, was a little social bandit; she hugged Wan Fang's arm directly, "Auntie, you are so beautiful!"

"You are very beautiful too!" Wan Fang liked such a charming little girl and immediately took off the jade bracelet on her wrist, "This is for you; I hope you are always happy!"

Si Rong also had many jade ornaments, and Mother Si quite liked studying jade; the item Wan Fang gave to Juzi was a mutton-fat jade bracelet, which was of excellent quality and very precious.

"Thank you, Auntie Wan!"

Si Rong:...

She handed the mutton-fat jade back to Wan Fang, "No, this is too valuable; Juzi cannot accept it."

"We look at these things in terms of value, but children don't," Wan Fang squatted in front of Jiang Siyu and asked her, "Do you like this bracelet?"

The mutton-fat jade was delicate and warm, its color white and tender; Jiang Siyu shook the bracelet on her chubby wrist, her eyes curving into crescents with her smile.

"I like it!"

It fit her perfectly; her mother always complained that she was fat, but if she were thin, would she be able to wear this bracelet properly?

"Auntie Wan, I like you so much! Can you come to my house as a guest?" Jiang Siyu planted a kiss on Wan Fang's cheek with a smack.
