From beginning to end, Ding Linglong has always expressed the care and love of the kind elders for the younger generations, and her tone is amiable, even closer than the two daughters of Ding Xiang Wanwan and Ding Xiang Nuannuan, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

But as a trickster, what Li Mengnan is best at is observing, borrowing, and controlling human feelings, and naturally he can see that Ding Linglong's well-concealed words are insincere.

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

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

In other words, Ding Linglong did not welcome him as an uninvited guest in her heart - this can be seen from the fact that she forcibly took Li Hongming's words from the middle of the way and extended an invitation to him.

If you really treat him as a family member and want him to live here, you can wait for Li Hongming to send an invitation and help persuade him, and the act of taking the initiative to grab the topic is somewhat of a feeling of wanting to cover up.

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

Just like the host often doesn't say it directly, as long as he says "stay for some food", the guest will know that it is time to go, and he will not hurt his face.

The Chinese language is so broad and profound.

However, Li Mengnan did not feel the inexplicable insult and anger like in the online novel, and left a cruel sentence such as "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the poor youth" and other cruel words slammed the door...... That's too middle two.

It's understandable to think about it, although Ding Linglong has the name of his stepmother, but after all, he has no real blood relationship with him, and people are willing to politely give a smile can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, why do they have to provide for him like a son? It doesn't make any sense......

Comparing his heart to his heart, if one day someone dares to run over and hug his thigh and shout at his father to beg him to take him in, Li Mengnan feels that he will definitely beat out the other party's...... And it has to come out of above.

"What's so embarrassing about that? But speaking of which, I do like it here......"

Li Mengnan deliberately pretended to borrow the donkey from the slope, and his eyes couldn't stop looking around, looking like he was going to agree to come down.

He didn't want to provoke Ding Linglong or play a prank, he just wanted to verify his conjecture, after all, everyone's habits are different, and if he misunderstands the other party's meaning, it will not be good to live up to the kindness of others.

However, it turns out that Li Mengnan obviously did not miscalculate.

After hearing this very cheap opening sentence, Ding Linglong's body stiffened obviously for a moment, and the smile on her face was also unnatural for a short time, and she fell silent for a while, obviously not knowing how to continue, she couldn't really agree to this matter according to Li Mengnan's words, right?

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 she feels awkward to live in a strange young man at home.

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

"I really like it here, and to be honest, I've never lived in such a nice house when I'm so big...... But after all, it's too far away from the school, and it's not convenient to go to and from school every day, and it's also very troublesome to apply to the department for day study procedures, so I'm still living in a dormitory! ”

Ding Linglong subconsciously glanced at Li Mengnan again, and with her eyesight, she couldn't tell whether Li Mengnan was intentionally tentative or unintentional, but since Li Mengnan had no intention of moving in with her, she was also obviously relieved, and chuckled: "That's really a pity...... But it's good that you can think like this, you are still a student, your main task is to study, and living in the dormitory can also exercise interpersonal communication, which is very helpful for you to enter the society in the future. You are different from Nuan Nuan Wanwan, you are a boy, enduring more hardships is good for your future growth, the sword is sharpened, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, Auntie is optimistic about you! ”

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

In view of Li Mengnan's previous knowledge, Ding Linglong's attitude towards him was obviously much more cordial, and after some useful and useless chat, Li Mengnan excused himself to get up and say goodbye under the pretext that it was late.

Anyway, his biological father Li Hongming also saw it, the biggest purpose of coming this time has been achieved, and it is no longer important for Li Mengnan to deny this kiss and win the favor of the new family.

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

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

Just as Li Mengnan said goodbye to the two and was about to get up, Ding Linglong opened her wallet, pulled out all the cash in it and pushed it in front of Li Mengnan, and said: "When we meet for the first time, Auntie didn't prepare any meeting gifts, let's use this money to make pocket money, if you are short of money in the future, you will 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 very good person, at least she has a lot of feelings for his father Li Hongming, otherwise she would not take care of him again and again.

Of course, this can't be regarded as loving the house and Wu, just to protect the face of his father Li Hongming, so as not to make it difficult for his father in front of his son who suddenly visited.

Ding Linglong obviously didn't have the habit of carrying too much cash with her, but even so, the money on the table was seven or eight thousand yuan, and the red stack was very eye-catching.

Li Mengnan didn't refuse, nor did he fully accept it, but just took out ten pockets from it, pushed the rest back, and said with a smile: "The elder gives, don't dare to resign...... But that's enough. ”

Li Mengnan's move couldn't help but surprise Ding Linglong, but she could see that Li Mengnan was not playing any tricks to get away with it, after all, the other party and her husband Li Hongming were real fathers and sons, and it was completely natural to ask for pocket money at the door, and there was no need to use any means at all.

And she also noticed that in the face of the money, Li Mengnan never showed the slightest expression of excitement or greed, as if it was just a pile of worthless white paper in front of her.

If such a person is not from a wealthy family, he or she truly regards money as something outside of his body.

The former is obviously impossible, and the realm of the latter is too high, Ding Linglong can hardly imagine that a twenty-year-old young man will not be greedy for money at all, it is a kind of indifference that only the sage hermit who was enlightened in ancient times could achieve.
