Huadu macho

From the beginning to the end, Ding Linglong has always shown the care and love of the kindly elders towards the younger generation, and her tone is amiable, even closer than Ding Xiangwan and Ding Xiangnuan. It seems that there is nothing wrong with it. OK.

But as a magician, Li Mengnan is best at observing, borrowing, and controlling human emotions. Naturally, he can also see Ding Linglong's well-disguised insincere words.

Li Mengnan could feel that this stepmother, Ding Linglong, was not as friendly and open-minded as she appeared on the surface. Although her tone was gentle, it was obviously polite.

Politeness is a kind of respect, but being too polite is a disguised rejection.

In other words, Ding Linglong didn't welcome him as an unexpected guest in her heart - this can be seen from the fact that she forcibly took over Li Hongming halfway and sent him an invitation.

If you really treat him as a family member and hope that he lives here, you can wait for Li Hongming to send out an invitation, and then help persuade him, and the act of actively grabbing the topic is somewhat self-defeating.

Of course, there is a greater possibility that she deliberately wanted Li Mengnan to feel this way.

Just like when the host sees off the guest, he often doesn’t say it directly, as long as he says “stay for a meal”, the guest will know that he should go, and he will not hurt his face if he is friendly.

The Chinese language is so broad and profound.

However, Li Mengnan will not feel the inexplicable insult and anger like in the online novels, leaving a sentence like "30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor" and slam the door... Then It's too high school.

Thinking about it, I can understand that although Ding Linglong bears the title of stepmother, after all, she has no real blood relationship with him. If she is willing to politely give a smiling face, it can be regarded as the utmost kindness. Why does she have to act like her own son? for him?It doesn't make sense at all...

Comparing my heart to my heart, if one day someone dares to come over and hug his thigh and beg his father to take him in, Li Mengnan feels that he will definitely punch out the other's shit...and it has to come out from above.

"Why is this so embarrassing? But speaking of it, I really like it here..."

Li Mengnan deliberately pretended to be an excuse to go down the donkey, and kept looking around, as if he wanted to agree to come down.

He didn't want to stimulate Ding Linglong or play a prank, but just wanted to verify his conjecture. After all, everyone's habits and behaviors are different. It would be bad if he misunderstood the other party's meaning and failed his good intentions.

But the facts proved that Li Mengnan did not misjudge.

After hearing this cheap opening remark, Ding Linglong's body was visibly stiff for a moment, and the smile on his face also appeared unnatural for a short time, and he fell into silence for a while, obviously not knowing how to continue, and he couldn't follow along. Li Mengnan's words really promise this matter?

Even Li Mengnan can be counted as her child in name, but after all, there is no blood relationship, and he is not the kind of adopted son raised since childhood. She doesn't care about money or anything, but a strange young man lives in the family like this. No matter how I think about it, I feel awkward.

Just when Ding Linglong was racking her brains on how to politely refuse without hurting face, Li Mengnan's words directly relieved her.

"I really like it here. To be honest, I have never lived in such a nice house when I grew up... But after all, it is too far away from the school, and it is not convenient to go to and from school every day. Besides, I have to apply for a day program in the department. It's quite troublesome, I'd better stay in the dormitory!"

Ding Linglong subconsciously sized up Li Mengnan again, but with her eyesight, she couldn't tell whether Li Mengnan was deliberately tempting or just said it unintentionally, but since Li Mengnan didn't intend to move in with her, she was obviously relieved. He chuckled lightly and said, "That's really a pity... But it's good for you to think so. You are still a student, and your main task is to study. Living in a dormitory can also exercise interpersonal communication, which will be very helpful for you to enter society in the future. You It’s different from Nuan Nuan Wan Wan and the others, you are a boy, and eating more hardships will be of great benefit to your future growth, Bao Jian’s edge comes from sharpening, plum blossoms come from bitter cold, Auntie is optimistic about you!”

"Thank you, Aunt Ding, I am actually very optimistic about myself, really."

In view of Li Mengnan's previous knowledge and interest, Ding Linglong's attitude towards him was obviously much more friendly. After some useful and useless chatting, Li Mengnan prepared to get up and leave with the excuse that it was getting late.

Anyway, his biological father Li Hongming also saw him, and the biggest purpose of this visit has been achieved. It is no longer important to Li Mengnan whether he can deny this relationship and win the favor of his new family.

Although his father is a bit different from what he imagined, and he is still a softie, but at least he has a happy family, a beautiful wife, and a cute daughter. Li Mengnan doesn't want to disturb his originally peaceful life.

"That...Xiao Nan, wait a minute."

Just when Li Mengnan bid farewell to the two and was about to get up, Ding Linglong opened the wallet, took out all the cash in it and pushed it in front of Li Mengnan, saying: "We met for the first time, and Auntie didn't prepare any gifts for the meeting, so I used the money as pocket money Well, if you are short of money in the future, you can come to Auntie to get it."

Li Mengnan has to admit that although this woman named Ding Linglong has more eyes and a strong personality, she is still a pretty good person. At least she has a lot of affection for his father Li Hongming, otherwise she would not treat him like this again and again care.

Of course, this can't be regarded as love for the house, but just to protect the face of his father Li Hongming, so that his father would not be difficult in front of his son who came suddenly.

Ding Linglong obviously didn't have the habit of carrying too much cash with her, but even so, the money on the table was at least 8000 to [-] yuan, and the red stack was very eye-catching.

Li Mengnan didn't refuse, nor did he fully accept it, he just took out ten of them and put them in his pocket, pushed the rest back, and said with a smile: "It's from the elders, I don't dare to resign... But these are enough."

Ding Linglong couldn't help but be a little surprised by Li Mengnan's move, but she could see that Li Mengnan wasn't playing a game of playing hard to get. After all, the other party and her husband Li Hongming were in a real father-son relationship. what means.

And she also noticed that when facing the money, Li Mengnan did not show any excitement or greed from the beginning to the end, as if it was just a pile of worthless blank paper in front of him.

If such a person is not born in a wealthy family, then he really regards money as something outside his body.

The former is obviously impossible, while the latter's realm is too high. It is hard for Ding Linglong to imagine that a 20-year-old young man would not be greedy for money at all. That is a kind of indifference that only a sage and hermit who is fully enlightened in ancient times can achieve.
