Glory, The Mistress of the House (6)

her decisive choice to commit suicide.She stood there, her black eyes wide, watching the man on the ground, groaning in pain, with a hint of mockery in her gaze.After a long while, besides the man's c...The next day, Lin Meng led her two children. Shortly after arriving at the company, Jiang He Shan's guard drove over to pick them up. The time elapsed between her arrival and their departure was no more than ten minutes, which made Lin Meng feel that this was intentional on Jiang He Shan's part. So, under the gaze of many people, she followed the guard in his crisp military uniform, and then, under the curious eyes of many, got into a military green jeep with distinctive army features.

If you want to pick someone up, directly at their doorstep would be fine too, wouldn't it That way it should be more convenient. I specifically told her to wait inside the company, but this soldier came to pick her up early, just like he was intentionally on time. So, is this meant for some people to see

Lin Meng had a rough idea in mind.

Then I took a nearly half-day car ride to the military camp. I registered at the entrance and was let in. After about twenty minutes by car, we stopped in front of a building painted predominantly in army green.

This is her first time coming to the military camp.

Along the way, she saw soldiers practicing various drills and sweating profusely outside her car window. She was both moved and slightly pained. Because, she thought of Rong Ling.

Though the two little ones seemed calm, their eyes were already looking out the car window.

Here we are, let's get off the car!

The guard greeted them with a smile, got out of the car first, walked around to the back seat and opened the door for Lin Meng and the others. As Lin Meng got out of the car, a group of soldiers in army green vests ran past the building. They saw a beautiful woman in white clothes who had snow-white skin, black hair like ink, and a delicate face emerging from the car. Almost as if startled, they all looked sideways at her with perfect unison. The pace of their running forward slowed down as if they were bewitched!

The dozens of men in the squad were all looking at her intently, their combined gaze was naturally impressive. Lin Meng just tilted her head to look over. This sight was extraordinary, many soldiers had almost become paralyzed, unable to move their limbs normally.To be honest, this military camp was almost like a monastery for monks, and it was rare to see a woman. Usually, if a military wife or something came by, she would rarely escape the surrounding crowd's cheers and whistles. Now, they had arrived with such a delicate beauty, so stunningly beautiful, with such an elegant temperament, these soldiers were all immediately captivated. Besides their hearts blooming with excitement, naturally, their male hormones surged out uncontrollably.

In mere seconds, the once orderly queue descended into chaos. Several times, collisions and stampedes were narrowly avoided, but thanks to their agility, they managed to escape disaster at the last moment.

Lin Meng looked at them curiously for a few more times. The two little kids who jumped out of the car also saw this and were somewhat curious.

The guard raised an eyebrow slightly, but he also knew that soldiers were like this. He didn't say anything. Besides, the woman he had received today was truly extraordinary. Even her slender frame and faintly wounded expression could evoke pity and reluctance from anyone.

"What are you doing, what are you doing!"

The squad leader was shouting orders as he ran, keeping the ranks in line. His expression was stern and his tone harsh, occasionally kicking a soldier to emphasize his point. He looked particularly tough and righteous. But if only those big eyes of his wouldn't occasionally glance her way, it would be perfect!

Lin Meng felt a little embarrassed and, while looking away, also subtly shifted her body. She walked past the two young boys who were wide-eyed with excitement and watched the long line of soldiers being trained. Following the guards, she entered the building.

This little anecdote passed just as quickly!

Going upstairs, they arrived at the office. The security guard reported, and then Lin Meng and her mother and son, along with Miao Qing, went inside together.

"Please have a seat and wait for me for a while!"

Jiang He Shan was burying his head in paperwork. As they entered, he glanced up at them briefly before returning to his work. The guard discreetly poured tea for one of them and then slipped out quietly, closing the door behind him.

It probably won't take more than three or five minutes. Jiang He Shan closed the file and put it aside, then chatted amiably with Lin Meng.

"

This way is quite a distance, you must be tired

"

"Not tired!"

The river, mountains, and the land all smiled. He had a square face, so he looked different - both dignified and awe-inspiring. Even when he smiled, there was an aura of majesty about him.

Wasn't that scary

Lin Meng was stunned for a moment.

"Those brats out there," Jiang He Shan pointed at the window, "They're such a disgrace!"

While it sounds critical, there's not too much harshness behind the words.

Lin Meng smiled slightly. "Don't say that, they're pretty cute and genuine!"

Jiang He Shan chuckled and was very pleased. This woman, generous, not coy, and well-behaved. She came into the room without looking around, showing good upbringing. At first glance, she was charming.

As soon as Lin Meng walked in, he received a message. At that time, he stood by the window downstairs and saw it all. He told her to wait, saying he was dealing with documents here, but he was actually secretly observing her. He had only met her a few times, those two encounters were just nods of acknowledgment. When she brought Haohao over, she left. It was still in the courtyard at the time. At that time, he felt quite good about her. With his status, many people tried every means to get close to him, but she never deliberately approached him, nor did she say much. She simply treated him as Haohao's grandfather. And, he estimated that in her heart, he was also an irresponsible grandfather. Every time she saw him, her attitude was indifferent, unlike the way she looked at her own grandson, which was warm like a little sun.

This time, he made up his mind to run for office. He decided to think carefully about her character again.

Everything looks good now.

"They meant no harm, they were just pushed too hard!" he explained.

Lin Meng let out a soft "hmm," her expression still as serene and composed, unfazed by the exchange.

Jiang Heshan turned his gaze to the two little ones. Xiao Youyou called out, "Grandpa Jiang!" Xiao Haohuo followed suit, calling out in a flat tone, "Grandpa." Jiang Heshan glared at them with displeasure.

“This time he's actually grown up and knows to call for help!”

Turning back, he looked at Lin Meng and praised, "You're still the best teacher! This child has become much more polite since following you!"

"Hao Hao turned out to be a good kid after all." Lin Meng gave a faint smile in response, not wanting to bring up how her grandfather and father had been so out of touch that they almost made the child autistic.

Jiang He Shan laughed heartily again, looking very much enjoying what Lin Meng was saying. After all, he was his own grandson, being so affirmed and protected by Lin Meng. Naturally, the grandfather felt a surge of pride and joy. Besides, since his grandson had been brought up by Lin Meng, there had been a qualitative leap in his development. His son had always been unreliable, but to hand over his grandson to Lin Meng was quite reliable after all. However, whether it was the mother that the grandson found himself or the grandson's own talent, one thing was certain: this was Jiang He Shan's bloodline, and he hadn't disgraced it!

"Come on, we still have some time before lunch. I'll take you guys for a walk and show you around this camp!"

Lin Meng nodded slightly, holding the hands of the two children, and followed him.

After going downstairs, Jiang He Shan took the initiative to hold Xiao Hao Hao's hand. Thus, he, along with Lin Meng and her son, were all holding hands together. Looking at them, they seemed like a real family.

Behind them, the guards and Miao Qing kept a certain distance as they followed.

Jiang He Shan personally acted as a guide, introducing Lin Meng and her son to this and that. To say that the commander of this army served as a guide for her was truly a great honor!

Along the way, troops would occasionally pass by from one side. As they neared the front of the river and mountains, they would all stop simultaneously, shout "Greetings, Leader!", and then salute in unison.

That was really awe-inspiring, the sense of military dignity came straight at you, making one feel a sudden jolt in their spirit. There was an indescribable feeling of honor. The sadness in my heart seemed to dissipate quite a bit because of the strong and courageous demeanor these young men exuded!

The military, truly a place of tempering people!

Lin dreamed that Rong Ling had once stayed in a place like this. Her heart was a little sour, but also a little proud. She inexplicably felt closer to such a place.

Though the soldiers couldn't help but be awestruck by her, they kept their composure because a high-ranking official stood beside her!

To be humiliated in front of the leader, do you still have any shame left!

Several people walked along, keeping their eyes peeled, until they reached a clearly demarcated section. The soldiers there gave off a distinctly different vibe from those they had encountered earlier. They seemed stronger, each one taut like a rifle barrel, demanding attention. Not only did Lin Meng’s steps falter, but even the two children came to an abrupt halt.

Here, they felt a more familiar atmosphere!

A meaningful smile appeared in Jiang He Shan's eyes.

The mother, son, and child stood silently on the periphery, watching the special forces training inside. Those soldiers were all eyes and ears, observing everything around them. At first glance, one of them spotted a beautiful woman, his heart skipped a beat, adrenaline surging, instinctively wanting to impress her. Then he noticed the high-ranking officer standing beside the beauty, and his spirit jolted even more, determined to put on an even better show. So in that instant, shouts and roars rose to a fever pitch!

The team leader in charge, who was also inside, saw this and immediately ordered his deputy to keep an eye on him while he ran out.

"Greetings, sir!" As the person came into view, he immediately straightened up and executed a perfect military salute. Every detail was impeccable, with a distinct air of authority!

The river and mountains returned the gift, after asking two questions, he instructed the person not to be so formal. The person then turned his gaze to Lin Meng, but after calling out "Sister-in-law," he became inexplicably hesitant and his expression showed a faint sadness.

Lin Meng's heart skipped a beat. This person, it seemed like they knew her!

A sudden thought crossed her mind, and she tentatively asked, "You...know Rong Ling"

That man's eyes immediately turned red, he just hummed softly. "He was my old captain. We all heard about the captain's situation, ma'am...don't be sad, the captain is a good person and has a bright future, he'll definitely be fine!"

Lynn Meng, along with two little ones, had a flicker of sadness across their faces. But Lynn Meng quickly recovered and extended her hand towards that person.

"Hello, my name is Lin Meng!"

His sun-baked face, tanned to a dark hue, seemed to flush slightly red. He extended his thick hand and gently squeezed Lin Meng's hand, then released it instantly as if afraid of crushing her delicate palm, which was as white as jade, with the utmost care.

"Sister-in-law, we've met before and seen your photos. The captain got married before, and all of us brothers were busy and couldn't make it to the wedding. Please forgive us!"

Lin Meng suddenly remembered, at the time of her marriage, there was a very special red envelope, given by many people together. Rong Ling had also told her at the time, saying that they were former subordinates. He had mentioned a few names back then, but it had been a long time, and she couldn't quite remember them for a moment.

Luckily, the person immediately added a supplement to their introduction.

"My name is Xi Yuezhong, my sister-in-law calls me Dazhong!"

"Well done, Dazhong!"

"Hey!" Dazhong responded enthusiastically, then turned his gaze to the two youngsters. He naturally extended his hand to pat Xiaoyouyou's head first.

"This is Rongyou, isn't it" I also saw him in the photo!

Xiaoyou dodged Dazhong's big hand very nimbly, dodging to the right side.

Dazhong was stunned.

Lin Meng immediately explained to him. "This child is highly vigilant. After his father disappeared, he became like this."

Big Chung immediately praised. "Good, good, good, he's truly worthy of being the captain's son!"

He didn't look angry at all, instead, he seemed happy. He looked at the little guy with a curious gaze.

"You're really good! Your dad must have taught you well!"

You know, this General Instructor's grasp was formidable. To dodge it wouldn't be easy. Although he only used half his strength, the child was surprisingly quick, his movements hinting at martial arts skills!

I heard from my old teammates that the captain married a beautiful wife and they suddenly have a five-year-old son who's learning martial arts from a master. It sounds pretty great, actually! He looks much less fierce than he did in the photos my teammate sent me ages ago!

Oh, I guess it's because my father suddenly disappeared!

Dazhong's heart felt a pang of sadness, but he quickly suppressed it. His eyes glittered as he looked at the little boy.

This soldier looked promising, with strong bones, good intuition, and potential. He didn't want to let him go easily. Especially since he was his captain's son, he naturally had even more fondness for him.

Xiaoyouyou didn't dodge him this time, and she replied to him.

"My father taught me, my master also taught me, and I learn some myself!"

Well, that sounds pretty impressive!

"Show Uncle what you got!"

Xiaoyou pursed her lips and didn't respond.

Dazhong didn't force it, smiling at Xiao Haohuo. "This must be Chief's grandson, he really looks like you!"

"The rivers and mountains are delighted. "Yes, his name is Jiang Haofeng! "

"

Actually, Xiao Haohuo doesn't really resemble him much. He looks more like his deceased mother. However, as the head of a special forces unit, Xi Yuezhong naturally has his own channels to obtain information. He said that with some confidence in mind.

The river, mountains, and hills all knew, but they didn't reveal it.

This just goes to show how capable Xi Yuezhong is; he's delighted as the leader. The soldiers under his command need to have this kind of skill!

Xi Yuezhong crouched down, this time Qiqi reached out and placed her hand on the shoulders of the two little ones, controlling her strength as she squeezed. Without saying a word, she stood up again.

This soldier, sometimes, is just that solid. One action, and it can encompass a thousand words!

Little Youyou opened her mouth. "Uncle, it's no fun to fight alone. So, I'll fight with Haohuo together, just like the uncles inside, we spar!"

This is great!

"Good!"

He immediately smiled and rushed to Jiang Heshan, asking, "Chief, you see, it's almost time for our meal break. How about we dismiss the team a few minutes early Let our soldiers get a glimpse of these two youngsters' talents!"

They basically only eat after the ordinary soldiers finish their meal. Moreover, the training camp is especially located near the dining hall so that these special forces can improve their endurance by being surrounded by the aroma of food during training!

Jiang He Shan nodded, and Xi Yue Zhong immediately straightened his posture, bowed respectfully, and ran back to the training ground. With his command, all the soldiers in training stopped their movements, quickly returned to their ranks, and then quickly formed a circle, leaving a large open space in the middle.

Two small figures entered the circle, one with a stern face and the other with an air of habitual indifference. Both remained calm and composed, showing no signs of fear whatsoever.

"And now, let's welcome our two young comrades, Rong You and Jiang Hao Feng, to perform for us. Please give them a warm round of applause!"

A wave of applause immediately erupted, like thunder, shaking people's eardrums.

These soldiers are too enthusiastic!

Lin Meng's beautiful eyes held a touch of worry as she looked at the two little ones, but seeing them remain calm and composed put her heart at ease. They dared to enter this circle, so they must have confidence. These two were proud individuals!

Looking at the two children surrounded by those towering special forces soldiers, Lin Meng's heart began to swell with a mix of excitement and pride!

She didn't stop him!

From beginning to end, it's basically letting the two little ones have free rein. Because these are two children whom one can trust. She would never underestimate the two little ones; in their hearts, they should be thinking straight.

Being merely a district chief, Jiang He Shan specially led her for a walk and came here again. Meeting acquaintances again, then why not make even more of a fuss The bigger the commotion, the greater the harvest this group would receive today. She didn't know if these two had reached this point intentionally or not! Had they also discovered the deeper meaning within like her!

If the answer is affirmative, then—

She sighed inwardly again: she would never underestimate these two treasures!

At this time, Jiang He Shan's comforting words reached his ear. "Don't worry, I think those two kids will be able to handle this situation!"

He thought Lin Meng was worried.

Lin Meng smiled lightly, hummed softly, and turned her gaze back to the stage.

At this time, the special forces soldiers all sat on the ground. The two little ones finally emerged as more prominent figures within that circle. Because this scene was rather unique, with two small kids surrounded by the special forces, soldiers who had finished their lunch and were in a state of midday rest, gathered around. They usually paid special attention to these special forces soldiers, looking up at them with the ambition to catch up with them someday. Seeing this unusual formation, they naturally wouldn't miss it. However, they didn't dare get too close because the Chief was right there!

The two of them exchanged a quick fist bump before launching into their usual playful sparring match. They were so accustomed to this kind of play that even surrounded by these extraordinary soldiers, they remained completely at ease. Their movements flowed seamlessly: relaxed and tense, contracting and expanding, with a clear plan and purpose. Though fierce and powerful, their strikes were measured and controlled, a harmonious blend of strength and gentleness. This display quickly drew excited roars from the onlookers.

"Great!"

"Good!"

After every brilliant attack or defense, the soldiers couldn't help but applaud, their eyes shifting from initial indifference to eager interest and finally to undisguised admiration.

Under the scorching sun, the two youngsters quickly flushed and broke into a sweat. Their glistening beads of perspiration flew outward with their nimble movements, reflecting an unusual brilliance in the sunlight, almost dazzling!

Outside, the crowd gathering to watch is growing larger and larger.

After the two of them had finished their spar, panting heavily, they patted each other on the shoulders in a gesture of camaraderie and bowed to the crowd. All the spectators followed suit with a thunderous cheer of "good!" It was like an explosion went off on level ground, radiating genuine admiration, and then applause erupted, wave after wave.

The two youngsters tried to be composed, but they were still children at heart. Being praised by so many enthusiastic soldiers was too much for them to handle, their eyes sparkled uncontrollably, like they held two black diamonds. When the two youngsters walked up to Jiang He Shan, they raised their heads and smiled faintly, and many people's eyes lit up.

Oh my, these two little ones seem to be relatives of the leader! Look at how happy the leader is, holding one in each hand and lifting them both up. He's even smiling with his usually stern eyes squinting shut!

At this time, the higher-ranking officers in the unit all gathered together. Such a unique exchange of banter and such a lively scene, anyone who was close by rushed over as soon as possible.

"Lao Jiang, you're not being fair! Your two grandsons came, and you didn't even let me know!"

The political commissar, with a smile on his face, directly pointed out the identities of the two youngsters in front of everyone.

The crowd's eyes lit up a little more when they looked at the two children.

"Jiang He Shan let out a hearty laugh. “Well, then I’ll be straightforward. Come, have dinner with us. You haven’t eaten yet, have you”

At this point, even if I eat, it's as if I didn't. I'm not stupid!

However, the political commissar truly didn't eat and immediately agreed. As for the others, they naturally wouldn't give up this opportunity to build a good relationship with the leader's relatives. Even those who had already eaten, shamelessly joined in.

These few ranks were higher, and in the end, they ate with those special forces who fired last.

"The food in our canteen is still very good, you should try it!"

Jiang He Shan softened his voice and said to Lin Meng.

Then someone became curious. "Leader, this is… "

Because the woman in front of them was too young, despite her sharp attire, she looked like a college student. They didn't dare guess that this woman was the mother of the two children for a while, although she seemed very close to them.

"This is my grandson's mother!"

"Well, well, looks like the leader's daughter-in-law!" one person chuckled. "I just had a feeling it was her. Not just anyone can get into the leader's house, huh Leader, you sure keep things hidden."

The rivers, mountains, and lakes all laughed with a hearty chuckle.

The smiles on some faces became even more eager, and they began trying to chat with Lin Meng. Lin Meng responded calmly while thinking, "What does Grandpa Jiang mean by this" Youyou called Grandpa Jiang 'Grandpa', and he called Jiang Changhao 'Dad'. He was considered Grandpa Jiang's grandson, no doubt about it. But Rong Ling didn't recognize Grandpa Jiang as his father either. Grandpa Jiang didn't deny it either, just skipped past it directly. Could this be him casually accepting Rong Ling However, Rong Ling wouldn't agree, that man is too proud! Perhaps Grandpa Jiang didn't have that intention either; he was just protecting her. Because now that the daughter-in-law has acknowledged him, then Liu family, and others, would definitely have to be more cautious!stand that Jian'an Forest Industry has a long history as a state-owned enterprise. Later, due to the leader’s instructions for reform, it was transformed into a private company. But what lies behind t...
