The nurse did not notice anything strange in the room. After she left, Gong Ling called someone to clean up the mess. When everything was settled, he walked over from the balcony and realized that the lights in the ward were off. He thought, ‘That Little Cheeky should have fallen asleep.’
The next day, Meng Tang and Ning Jia finally came to visit Meng Jiao.
Ning Jia only took a glance at Meng Jiao before tears fell. She hugged Meng Jiao and cried bitterly.
“Mother, I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt anymore,” said Meng Jiao. She had been chivalrous last night.
Ning Jia kept apologizing, “My baby, it’s all my fault. I didn’t take good care of you. I didn’t make any arrangements. I made you suffer so much. I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.”
Meng Jiao raised her intact hand and touched Ning Jia’s face. She said, “Mother, don’t cry. I really don’t feel pain. You didn’t do anything wrong. There’s no need to apologize. Don’t cry, Mother.”
Ning Jia could not take it anymore. Such a good child had been abused for so many years but had not grown up crooked. Meng Jiao was still connected to Ning Jia’s heart. Ning Jia really had to thank God.
Neither of them mentioned Meng Yao, nor did Meng Jiao. As they ate the breakfast sent over by the servant, Meng Jiao analyzed her mistakes in the examination with Ning Jia. Meng Jiao was not pretentious at all and was very clear about her mistakes.
Meng Tang could not help but nod in satisfaction. Meng Jiao’s learning ability was comparable to Meng Lin’s. Meng Tang believed that Meng Jiao would also be an outstanding child.
Meng Tang was even relieved that, despite having been beaten and scolded since she was a child, Meng Jiao had no psychological trauma from so many things. Otherwise, mental trauma was far more difficult to treat than physical injury.
The three of them spent the entire morning laughing and chatting.
When Meng An pushed the door open and entered, the three of them looked so happy that he was stunned. Such a warm scene was rare in the Meng family.
“Father?”
“Master?”
Meng Tang and Meng Jiao were both shocked. The person who came in with Meng An was Bai Yu.
“How did you get hurt so badly?” Bai Yu frowned and said. He reached out and felt Meng Jiao’s pulse.
“Gong Ling asked me to come here. He asked me to help him find a trustworthy traditional medicine doctor, so I called Bai Yu,” said Meng An.
Meng Jiao was stunned, ‘Gong Ling? That name was a little familiar! Could that devilishly handsome guy next door be Gong Ling?’
Out of curiosity, Meng Jiao followed the grown-ups to the Gong family’s ward.
When Gong Ling saw Meng Jiao, he smiled. His eyes curved into crescents, and he was exceptionally good-looking. He was so good-looking that Meng Jiao felt her face heat up and turned her head away.
Bai Yu checked Old Mr. Gong’s pulse and asked Gong Ling about the medication in detail. Meng Jiao also listened carefully. She was aware of Old Mr. Gong’s pulse, and listening to her master’s prescription was a great opportunity.
Hearing that Bai Yu had a treatment plan, everyone from the Meng family and Gong Ling heaved a sigh of relief.
Meng Tang patted Gong Ling’s shoulder and comforted him, “Gong Ling, don’t worry. No matter what happens, the Meng family will always be your strong backing! No matter what you want to do, we will support you.”
Gong Ling lowered his eyes and said, “Thank you, Uncle Meng. I have a presumptuous request. I hope Grandpa Meng and Uncle Meng can agree to it.”
Meng An sighed and said, “Gong Ling, I told you not to stand on ceremony. If there’s anything you need, just say it. Your grandfather and I are best of friends. Don’t worry, I’ll make the decision for you.”
Gong Ling looked at the Meng family and took a step back. He knelt on the ground.
Meng An, Meng Tang, and Ning Jia were shocked. They asked, “Gong Ling, what are you doing?”
Meng Tang stretched out his hand to pull Gong Ling up, but Gong Ling knelt down straight and refused to get up.
Gong Ling cleared his throat and said, “Grandpa Meng, Uncle Meng, Aunt Meng, my family is unfortunate, and both my grandfather and I are in grave danger. With my current strength, I’m not strong enough to fight against my two uncles, let alone the demons and monsters outside. Grandpa Meng previously proposed to use a marriage alliance to support me, but I rejected it because I didn’t want to implicate the innocent Meng family’s daughter. But I will always remember the Meng family’s kindness.”
“You’re a good kid, we all know that,” said Meng Tang.
Meng Tang went to pull Gong Ling again. Gong Ling held his hand and looked up at him. He said, “Uncle Meng, I want to be part of the Meng family now. Ten years later, I want to marry Meng Jiao. Will you agree?”
What?
Huh?
Not only were Meng An and Meng Tang stunned, but even Meng Jiao was petrified.
