She has a slender waist and delicate bones, and is able to seduce the ascetic horse.

Chapter 141 Turning against others

Ke Xin persuaded her to get up from the bed and comb her hair into a new bun.

When they arrived at the main room, Keying was waiting inside.

Master Meng sat at the top, and Meng Hui sat in his usual place. There was a cup of tea beside him, which was obviously for Shen Jiaojiao.

Shen Jiaojiao walked in, without even looking at Meng Hui or the cup of tea, she walked straight to the top and sat down next to Master Meng.

"How come my foster father has time to come to my place today?"

Mr. Meng's face was a little ugly, but when facing his adopted daughter, he still forced a smile and said, "I'll have lunch with you."

She looked out the window and saw the sun hanging high overhead. It was obviously almost noon.

I just met Aunt Zhou once and chatted a few words with Kexin Keying and Aoxue. Half of today's time has passed.

"It's almost noon, I'll let the small kitchen prepare food." Shen Jiaojiao said.

Her adoptive father came specially to have dinner with her. It seemed that he had something important to talk to her about.

It's just...what does it mean for the sworn brother to sit there and say nothing?
Want to have a casual meal?

Shen Jiaojiao had no intention of talking to Meng Hui, so she simply left him alone and chatted with her adoptive father.

The two of them didn't say a word for a long time.

After the dishes were served, the three of them went to the dining room.

Mr. Meng quickly took his seat, and she leaned over to sit next to him as usual, far away from Meng Hui.

"Jiaojiao, did you quarrel with Ah Hui?"

Master Meng realized that the two of them seemed to be having trouble.

Jiaojiao clearly didn't want to talk to Ah Hui, she kept a straight face, and the two of them didn't even say a word.

Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips and said nothing.

She didn't want to lie in front of her adoptive father.

"Are you angry because of what happened last night?" Master Meng asked.

The relationship between the adopted brothers and sisters has always been very good, except for what happened last night...

Thinking of this, Master Meng felt even more guilty.

"No..." She was about to deny it, but was interrupted by her adoptive father's words.

"Jiaojiao, I apologize to you on Wan'er's behalf. It was me who failed to teach her well and made you feel wronged."

Looking at the white hair on her adoptive father's temples, her eyes turned red and she shook her head repeatedly, "No, it's not..."

Mr. Meng took out a land deed from his sleeve, rolled it up and stuffed it into her hand.

"In that waterside farm in the suburbs, your adoptive father will send you to relieve your shock."

As soon as the words 'Water Village Farm' came out, Shen Jiaojiao's fingertips trembled and she hurriedly stuffed the title deed back.

"I don't want this, you take it back."

This is a large farm with the largest area and the most fertile land in the entire Lin'an City, comparable to the three manors combined.

"Good boy, accept it." Mr. Meng sighed, "Meng Wan not only disgraced the Meng family by doing such a thing, but also almost harmed you. If you don't accept it, how can your adoptive father feel at ease? "

After hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao accepted the land deed without delay.

She knew that her adoptive father felt uncomfortable and wanted to make it up to her.

If he didn't accept it, the adoptive father might feel even worse.

Meng Hui was left alone, but he didn't mind. While watching the two of them acting out their father-daughter love, they ate their food as if no one else was watching.

Mr. Meng glanced at him and began to persuade his adopted daughter earnestly.

"Jiaojiao, your sworn brother is also in a difficult situation. Don't blame him. The palms and backs of his hands are all flesh. He can't send Meng Wan to the government..."

"No matter how angry you are, you shouldn't be angry at Ah Hui. At least he arrived in time to save you yesterday."

After a pause, he sighed again.

"Alas! It's all because of my lack of education Wan'er!"

Seeing her adoptive father blaming himself, Shen Jiaojiao quickly comforted him with a few words.

But she never dared to talk to Meng Hui.

She had only made Chen Yuanli angry with her sworn brother last night. Now seeing her sworn brother's face gloomy, how could she dare to say anything more? He only responded perfunctorily twice. After dinner, Mr. Meng took her to chat for a long time.

It wasn't until Kexin came to report that Wei Lan had arrived that Master Meng planned to leave.

Shen Jiaojiao quickly stopped him, "Father, I made an appointment with A-Lan to go out to play, but my foster mother banned my feet last time..."

"Nothing, just go out and I'll tell your adoptive mother." Mr. Meng waved his hand, signaling her to do as she pleased.

She smiled and nodded vigorously.

After finally sending the two away, she breathed a sigh of relief and was about to ask Ke Xin to bring Wei Lan in when she saw her sworn brother returning.

The man had a sullen face, pinched her wrist, and pulled her into the east wing.

She staggered behind, feeling a terrible pain in her wrist.

"Ah! It hurts! What are you going to do?!"

Meng Hui didn't say anything. He pulled the person into the inner room of the east wing and then stopped.

His sinister eyes glanced around.

After confirming that there was nothing belonging to Chen Yuanli inside, and that he didn't smell anyone else's scent, the gloomy face finally relaxed a little.

"Shen Jiaojiao, did Guangshan tell you something?" Meng Hui asked.

How smart is Shen Jiaojiao?
Just from this question, I could tell that the man was lying.

If Meng Hui knew what Guangshan said yesterday, he would never ask her like this.

It seems that the sworn brother did not ask any questions from Guangshan.

She did not answer Meng Hui's question and said calmly: "Let go, you're pinching my hand."

Hearing this, the hand that held her wrist loosened a little.

But he didn't completely let go, still holding her tightly to prevent her from escaping.

"You won't become like this for no reason. Just tell me, okay?" The man slowed down his tone.

Shen Jiaojiao lowered her eyelids, "I have decided to live a good life with Yuan Li. Please stop pestering me, okay?"

Meng Hui stared, the anger on his face barely concealable.

"Brother, you know that Meng Wan lost his integrity yesterday, and Yuan Li also knows about it. From now on, he will never be good to Meng Wan again. I am Yuan Li's only wife."

"Hi!" Meng Hui laughed angrily, "Are you sick? What is it about people like Chen Yuanli that you like?"

Shen Jiaojiao smiled slightly and said, "Chen Yuanli never forces me."

"Did I force you? Don't you enjoy it?" Meng Hui asked.

As he spoke, the distance between the two became closer and closer, and Shen Jiaojiao was almost pulled closer to him by him.

"What? Now you've turned your back on me and don't recognize anyone?"

Meng Hui said, holding her wrist with one hand, pinching her slim waist with the other, and pressing her into his arms.

The humiliation in the words was obvious.

Shen Jiaojiao's face turned pale, she raised her head in disbelief and looked at Meng Hui.

Meng Hui lowered his eyes and looked at her quietly.

There was something cold in the depths of those dark pupils.

She closed her eyes hard, and when she opened them again, there was a self-deprecating smile in her eyes.

"Yes, I have feelings for everyone. Doesn't my sworn brother know this best? When Chen Yuanli hugged me and kissed me yesterday, I felt it too."

Meng Hui's eyes narrowed, and he pressed her against the wall, placing his hands on the wall to imprison her in the middle.

The sleeves slipped down, exposing the veins on his arms.

The man came closer to her, his thin lips almost touching the shell of her ear.

"Are you angry with me?"

The tone was very soft, but Shen Jiaojiao trembled in shock and her eyes suddenly widened.

My step-brother is so strange...

Why is she scared?
