Chapter 142 Choice?

Shen Jiaojiao swallowed and did not dare to speak.

The hot breath exhaled from the man's nose, hitting the white ear shell, dyeing her ears tender pink.

Her face still looked ugly.

No matter how close the two were, so close that she was pressed against the wall, and there was a steady stream of heat in front of her, the cold wall against which her back was pressed reminded her all the time——

The adopted brother was angry.

She suppressed the fear in her heart and raised her hand to push the person away.

The man remained motionless, holding her captive.

The thin lips pressed against her ear at some point.

She trembled again, and her struggling and resisting movements became more obvious.

Sensing her resistance, a cold flash flashed through the man's eyes.

"Shen Jiaojiao, you are angry with me, right?"

As he spoke, he gently closed his eyelids and held her in his arms.

Shen Jiaojiao's thin lips trembled, not even daring to say the word 'no'.

She noticed that her adopted brother was not in a normal mood and seemed to be on the verge of rage.

"Don't say these hurtful words, okay? Is there something I did wrong?"

The voice was low, as if pleading with her.

But she felt more and more frightened.

The sworn brother has a weird mind. We have been together for more than ten years and have never seen him show weakness. Now he is actually begging in a low voice in front of her...

The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. She immediately turned her face to the side, avoiding the man's thin lips.
"No! You didn't do anything wrong. What's wrong is that this relationship shouldn't have started in the first place."

After saying that, she struggled again.

Meng Hui paused and opened his eyes suddenly. All the tenderness in his eyes disappeared, and his expression became colder.

He distanced the two of them, raised his hand to hold her chin, and said word by word: "It won't end until I say it's over. If you continue to make trouble, I don't mind letting the world see our relationship."

Shen Jiaojiao's pupils trembled and she stared at the person in front of her, "Are you threatening me?"

"Whatever you think." The man looked at her with a complicated expression, "Shen Jiaojiao, you can either tell me clearly, or you can make peace with Chen Yuanli. There are only two options. Make your own choice."

"Choice?" She sneered, "Do I have a choice?"

She had no choice at all!
How else should she explain it clearly? If she said she knew everything, wouldn't it just be a warning to her not to provoke Meng Wan? Aren't they the only ones who are a family?
If she can't afford to offend him, why can't she hide from him?

Why did he chase her to Mingzhuyuan to force her?
The more Shen Jiaojiao thought about it, the angrier she became, and the angrier she became, the more she hated her. She felt a surge of strength from nowhere, raised her hand, pushed the man away, and ran out.

It wasn't until she ran out of the wing and saw Ke Xin that she breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the door.

The sworn brother did not catch up.

"What's wrong, miss?" Kexin stepped forward to help her and asked, "Why are you so panicked? Is there anyone in the house?"

Shen Jiaojiao grabbed Kexin's sleeve and said, "Don't look, there's no one inside."

As he spoke, he looked out of the yard.

"Didn't I say that A Lan is here? Where is the person?"

"Second Miss Wei said she was too lazy to come in. She is waiting for you in the outer courtyard."

"Okay, let's go."

She pulled Ke Xin to the small kitchen, called Aoxue and Ke Ying, and the master and servant came to the front yard together.

After meeting Wei Lan, the two girls went to Mengxianju first as usual.

When the waiter saw that the driver was the eldest lady, he quickly asked the groom to drive the carriage into the backyard and take them to the private room they usually used.

"Miss, what do you want to eat today?"

Before Shen Jiaojiao could speak, Wei Lan tilted her head and looked at the door, "Where is your shopkeeper? Why didn't you come to greet your eldest lady?"

The waiter smiled and said, "If Miss Wei Er wants to see the shopkeeper, you have to wait a while. The shopkeeper is meeting guests."

"What guest is more important than a young lady?"

"If the eldest lady comes first, the shopkeeper will naturally not see the customer. It's just that it took a while for the distinguished guest to come..."

Wei Lan wanted to continue to "fake the power of the tiger", but was stopped by Shen Jiaojiao. "Okay, okay, just ask Shopkeeper Li to come over in a moment." She looked at her friend suspiciously, "Why are you always thinking about him?"

"How can I not!" Wei Lan's face suddenly turned red and he knocked over the tea cup at hand.

Shen Jiaojiao glared over, "You still said no?"

This was so panic-stricken that anyone with a discerning eye could tell what Wei Lan was thinking at a glance.

The waiter is used to reading people's faces, so he only hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "I'll report it to the shopkeeper right now."

"Go on, go on." Shen Jiaojiao waved her hand to the waiter to get down, and moved to the next door.

Wei Lan also moved towards her.

The round table is very big. If this part gets wet, sit on another place.

The two waited for a while until four plates of exquisite snacks were served, but Li Shang did not arrive.

"Alan, shopkeeper Li may be busy, why don't we first..."

Wei Lan grinned and interrupted her.

"Okay, let's go find him now."

Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips, trying to say that she didn't mean it.

She wanted to use up her snacks and get down to business.

But her friend was very interested, and she couldn't refuse, so she could only nod and agree.

She was not very familiar with the layout of Mengxianju, but fortunately Keying had been here several times.

Without saying a word, he took them to the top.

"That's it." Keying pointed to one of the rooms with a closed door, "I came to Mengxianju to pick up dishes earlier, and the young master asked me here."

"What are you talking about?" Wei Lan asked curiously.

Keying glanced at her young lady and kept silent.

"Okay, if you can't say it, just say it." Wei Lan shrugged and pulled Shen Jiaojiao towards the door.

As soon as the two approached, they heard voices coming from inside.

"No, go back and tell your master that this can't be done now. If you don't trust us, there's nothing we can do."

"Evidence? What more evidence do you need? Didn't I tell you? The Meng family and the Shen family had a marriage contract, and they have been sworn brothers and sisters for more than ten years...

"In short, General Shang Meng cannot give up his choice. Believe it or not, your master, just find someone else to cooperate."

Wei Lan's expression changed, he looked at Shen Jiaojiao in shock, and shouted silently: "Jiaojiao?"

Shen Jiaojiao was also frightened by these words and pulled Meng Wan over to retreat.

Unexpectedly, the two of them walked too fast, and their shoes hit the ground, making a series of footsteps, which alarmed the people inside.

"Who's out there?!"

Li Shang's angry voice came.

Before the two women had time to react, the door was opened from inside.

"You guys..." Li Shang looked at the two of them.

Wei Lan chuckled, stood up straight in a hurry, and pushed Shen Jiaojiao forward.

"Jiaojiao has something to do with you."

Shen Jiaojiao looked back at her friend, raised her finger and pointed at herself, but stopped talking.

Wei Lan winked at her.

She coughed awkwardly and smiled at Li Shang, "Shopkeeper Li, I have something to ask you."

As for what? She doesn't know either.

Let’s stabilize the situation first.

Li Shang turned his attention to Shen Jiaojiao, "When did the eldest lady come? Do you want to see me for something? Did you hear anything..."

"You heard everything you should and shouldn't hear."

An intriguing smile appeared on her lips.
