Some things cannot be greedy

ze that this clean and spotless room must be a hospital ward.His arms still encircled her possessively at the waist. His warm breath grazed her ear, each inhale and exhale causing hers to mirror his,...Aunt Rong gestured for everyone to sit down before slowly opening her mouth.

My idea is to have Lin Meng take over my position!

The voice was soft, but the weight of it was immense. Several people gasped in shock.

"Auntie,"

Aunt Rong wore a faint smile and countered, "What do you think Isn't my idea great"

At the end of her sentence, her voice rose slightly, hinting at a touch of slyness. Her elder aunt's eyes, which were already bright and intelligent, shone even brighter. She looked several years younger like this.

Some people were moved by this.

"But—you're still young, you can continue!" Rong Liu hesitated, saying with reluctance. It was such a shame to give up this position of great honor; many women in the clan coveted it. It was second only to the head of Ming and An families. To give it up like this was truly regrettable and difficult to bear.

He truly felt sorry for his cousin. You see, the position of aunt is very important because it deals with the core secrets of the Rong family. This position isn't easily given to someone else. Unlike the head of the family, who needs a younger, more progressive person to take over when they get too old and their ambitions wane, bringing the family to a new level of prosperity, the aunt's position doesn't change as often. Because the aunt is only responsible for overseeing shares and money, and mostly carries out decisions made by the head of the family, it isn't very taxing. To ensure stability, those in this position usually stay until their health prevents them from continuing. There have been many cases of people holding this position well into their seventies or eighties. His cousin is not even sixty yet, so this decision to step down seems too early. Her decision clearly shows that she wants to keep Rong Ling and protect the entire family.

If Liu Rong could think of this, others would naturally think of it too.

"Aunty, you're looking so well. Why are you giving up your spot It's too early."

Although this is a good idea, the woman in front of us is a respectable aunt. These elders from our family wouldn't sacrifice her for their own selfish desires.

Then her aunt raised her hand and lightly touched her forehead, at the same time, her brow furrowed slightly.

“Who said I was in good health” she murmured, her voice suddenly sounding frail. “Well, although I seem to have recovered from this illness, I feel that my body is not as strong as it used to be. I often forget things when dealing with matters. Oh, getting old, I can't do what I used to…”

Upon hearing this, several people looked at each other in surprise. The quick-witted Rong Qirui, however, was not polite and burst into laughter.

Aunt Rong glared at Rong Qirui with force. "You little brat, don't laugh too soon, let me finish speaking before you do!"

"Well then!" Rong Qiru managed to stop laughing, but his eyes were still curved like crescent moons, clearly still smiling.

He looked like this, a bit more clever, and immediately understood. He couldn't help but laugh inwardly. His aunt had grown up with them after all. When she was young, her personality was quite flamboyant, and she certainly wasn't short on pranks. It's just that after she was chosen by the previous aunt to be her successor, her personality became much more stable. Moreover, because she controlled the wealth crucial to the entire clan's survival, and her personal opinions had a significant impact on how much each person received, her personality became even more reserved. She rarely joked around and treated others with a gentle demeanor that was tinged with a subtle distance, not being overly affectionate. Unexpectedly, after falling ill, she brought back the mischievous nature of her youth. Perhaps, it's also because she truly wanted to relinquish this position, so she no longer concealed her true self.

Rong Qirui was his aunt's great-nephew, so he naturally got along well with her. Their family, from a personality standpoint, were all rather quirky. Therefore, Rong Qirui knew his aunt very well; whenever she put on an act, he could immediately tell.

Suddenly exposed by Rong Qirui, the elder aunt dropped her pretense and regained her sharp tone.

“To be honest, I really want to step down. Lin Meng is the one I truly support. None of you can deny her abilities and excellence. It's not just in business, but also in finance. I’ve done my research, and in securities investment, Lin Meng has astonishing talent and incredible luck. (..tw no pop-up ads) She was accepted into the AIMR Association precisely because of her excellence in this area. The difficulty of getting into AIMR, I believe you all understand. And you have to see her young age – it's truly remarkable. Furthermore, after she returned to China, her performance in the stock market and investments, you should all have a deep understanding. Such a woman, taking on the role of aunt-in-law, is truly perfect. I can guarantee you, she will be the most outstanding aunt-in-law in history. Perhaps, in that position, she could bring about delightful changes to our almost stagnant system. I can also confidently say that missing out on Lin Meng would be our biggest regret.”

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"It seems your older sister has had her eyes on Lin Meng for quite some time, hasn't she!" Rong Qirui smiled.

"You little brat, you talk too much!"

Rong Qirui chuckled with a smile.

My aunt continued, "Setting aside Lin Meng as a person, the position of Great Aunt must be passed down to him because Lin Meng has Rong Ling behind him. I don't need to say more on this point, you have all considered it very clearly. As long as Lin Meng is there, even if Rong Ling leaves, it doesn't matter because Rong Ling cannot let go of Lin Meng. As long as Lin Meng holds the position of Great Aunt for a day, Rong Ling has to care about the Rong family for a day. Thus, our Rong family can be guaranteed at least half a century of stability!"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Rongs Seven seemed very excited. "Auntie, it's hard for you to be sick and still worry so much about family matters."

"What's so strange about it Don't I belong to the Rong family" Aunt smiled faintly.

"My suggestion is to put it forward, and you guys discuss it and see if it's possible"

The discussion among Rong Qi and the others naturally became more agreeable with each passing moment. However, a problem arose: what if Lin Meng refused

Birds of a feather flock together. Like Lin Meng, Rong Ling also doesn't care about power and money at all. Furthermore, at the beginning, there were some unpleasant incidents between Rong's family and Lin Meng, so they were afraid that Lin Meng wouldn't take on this position. They wanted her to take over, but it was somewhat difficult.

“Leave this to me!” Auntie confidently replied. “Finding a successor is my responsibility after all. Since I like Lin Meng, I naturally have to personally persuade her. But I want to make sure that during the handover process, there aren't too many discordant voices, otherwise, if the scene becomes too embarrassing, it will reflect poorly on me!”

"Alright, I'll take care of it!"

"Rest assured, Aunt Seven. Lin Meng is currently very popular within the clan. Her position as your aunt is basically a consensus."

"Auntie shook her head. 'There are always a few who don't know any better.'"

After all, human nature is unpredictable. Not everyone who comes from the Rong family is an elite!

"Leave it to me!" Rong Si replied again. "Grandaunt, just rest assured. During this period, the Discipline Hall's reputation has been restored, and very few people dare to act recklessly!"

Then her elder aunt nodded.

Since the decision was made, Auntie naturally had to take the initiative and find Rong Ling. Rong Ling was cunning and incredibly smart. If she alerted him beforehand, she feared he would have time to think of reasons to refuse. By then, even if she spoke eloquently, she wouldn't be able to persuade him. Therefore, Auntie took advantage of the opportunity when Rong Qi came to the door to discuss business with Rong Ling, joining them and giving Rong Ling and his wife a surprise.

Lin dreamt of her, and was astonished. “Aunt, how did you come here”

It is known that Aunt has lived a secluded life, mostly staying at the ancestral home in the clan and rarely going out. Moreover, she just recovered from a serious illness and needs to recuperate well. Now that she has suddenly come here, could it be that something major has happened in the clan

Lin Meng had interacted with her aunt, the elder aunt of the Rong family, quite a bit during her time as the acting president of the East Asia Group. They were close.This aunt of the Rong family, to be blunt, was the biggest financial director of the Rong family. All major stock transactions and capital flows needed her seal of approval. She was amiable, elegant and easy to get along with. Moreover, when Lin Meng proposed a delisting plan and used market tactics to fight against her opponents, there was quite a lot of opposition from within the family. But her aunt was very supportive and expressed her approval in private. She was a wise elder who may have been behind the scenes, but her intelligence was no less than any male member of the Rong family seen publicly.

Although Lin Meng was puzzled, she warmly greeted him. "Come come come, have a seat, have a seat. You said you were just recovering from your illness, yet you traveled so far. If there was something, I and Rong Ling would have gone over instead."

Auntie then chuckled and, using Lin Meng's hand, sat down.

"Today, I really have to go there myself. Even if I'm sick, I still have to go. You know, I never miss a chance to visit the Three Treasures Hall. So you better prepare yourself mentally."

It sounded quite serious, but after her aunt's somewhat teasing tone, it didn't seem so bad. Lin Meng smiled and replied cheerfully.

"What's the matter Tell me."

In her eyes, as long as her husband and son were well, that was the biggest blessing. Everything else was insignificant to her.

Then Auntie saw Rong Ling with a glance.

Rong Ling raised an eyebrow, her eyes appearing a bit dark and cold. It seemed she had seen through her intentions. She knew very well how deep this junior was, so she tried to release her goodwill as amicably as possible.

Luckily, Rong Ling still gave her some face and sat down beside her without saying anything else.

She gently patted Lin Meng's hand and said kindly, "Mengmeng, here's the thing. I admire you very much and want you to take over this position as my niece."

Lin Meng was surprised.

This came as such a surprise!

"No..." she instinctively refused.

After Ding'er had retired from the Rong family, she no longer had any dealings with them. This was a consensus she and Rong Ling had reached long ago.

Then her aunt immediately gave her hand a light pat. "Don't rush to refuse, hear me out first, okay"

Lin Meng frowned and nodded.

Auntie's face needs to be given.
