Chapter 153: My sworn brother is looking for me?

"You are getting more and more arrogant. In the past, you walked to the courtyard gate to greet me."

Arrive before anyone arrives.

Shen Jiaojiao was so frightened that she stood up almost immediately and walked quickly to the door of the main room.

Is the step-brother blaming her?
Before she could stand still, a black robe appeared in front of her.

She raised her eyes and looked up, her eyes falling on the man's thin lips.

"What are you looking at? Come in."

Her thin lips opened slightly and she spoke an indifferent word.

She hurriedly looked away, not daring to look again.

"Brother, please come in." As she said this, she turned sideways and made way for Meng Hui.

After saying that, he glared at Meng Hui angrily.

There was a thump in her heart, and she felt a little embarrassed.

"You guys go out quickly and guard at the door."

The step-brother could do it, but there was a real possibility that the blood of the two maids would be splattered on the spot. She couldn't take the risk.

Soon, the man sat down at the head.

But she didn't want to live in the same room with her sworn brother. After all, the relationship between the two was complicated and there was nothing to say.

The man said nothing and turned to look at the two maids who were standing respectfully.

"What is the reason why my adopted brother is looking for me?" she asked straight to the point.

She was startled and looked at Kexin Keying hurriedly.

His tone was so calm that he seemed to be telling her that the weather is really nice today...

"Satisfied." Meng Hui nodded lightly.

Meng Hui glanced at her lightly and walked towards the house.

But Xin Keying and the others clearly noticed the unkind gaze of the eldest young master.

Meng Hui obviously saw that the maid was listening to Shen Jiaojiao's order and frowned at her.

"I wouldn't mind a couple more bodies here."

Shen Jiaojiao hesitated for a moment and sat on the armchair next to Meng Hui, with a generous smile on her face.

However, they did not dare to leave without their own lady's instructions.

Does the sworn brother want Kexin Keying to leave?

Shen Jiaojiao was extremely angry and asked again, with a hint of impatience in her tone.

"Are you satisfied with this?!"

"Why are you looking for me? Tell me if you have anything to say!"

Meng Hui glanced at her lightly, "Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?"

She nodded matter-of-factly, "Of course not. Yuan Li would be jealous if he knew it. Although we are the closest relatives in the world, we must also pay attention to distance and propriety."

These words were a reminder to Meng Hui not to have any more ideas about her. They were sworn brothers and sisters, and she and Chen Yuanli were husband and wife.

Meng Hui obviously didn't take these words to heart. Perhaps because he had heard her remarks too much in the past two days, he felt very calm at the moment.

"Chen Yuanli is about to have a child, so how can he control you?"

"Are you also here to persuade me to take care of Meng Wan?"

"Yes?" Meng Hui's eyebrows moved slightly, and a trace of pity flashed across his eyes, "Shen Jiaojiao, Chen Yuanli asked you to take care of Meng Wan?"

Shen Jiaojiao did not dare to look into Meng Hui's eyes, so she naturally did not notice the pity in the man's eyes.

She sensed the irony in her sworn brother's words and replied with a frown on her face, "So what? The Chen family is able to flourish. I'm happy for Yuan Li."

"Haha." Meng Hui chuckled, "That's good. You are such a good wife and mother."

For some reason, the laughter stimulated her.

Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, she jumped up and looked down at the man.

"You don't have to worry about what happens to me. If you have anything to do, just tell me immediately. If there's nothing else, just leave!"

She would rather use the word 'go' than the word 'go'.

Fortunately, her reason overcame her anger and prevented her from reacting more violently.

She didn't know why she was angry - she felt that her step-brother was mocking her, mocking her for choosing such a husband out of thousands of choices. Thinking of this, she even felt ashamed.

Compared with the rebel brother, Chen Yuanli is indeed far behind...

Seeing how annoyed she was, a smile flashed in Meng Hui's eyes.

After all, he didn’t want to offend her, so the man asked in a kind-hearted manner:
"Where did you go this afternoon?"

Shen Jiaojiao suppressed the anger in her heart and asked back: "Didn't I tell you at the Chuihua Gate earlier? Besides, I have my adoptive father's permission to go out."

Seeing that she refused to tell the truth, Meng Hui simply pointed out the question: "Who did you meet today?"

She pursed her lips and refused to speak.

"Is he the person you met on Meishan that day?" Meng Hui asked again.

Shen Jiaojiao's heart was shocked and she could barely suppress the panic in her heart. She subconsciously clenched her hands hanging by her sides.

How could my sworn brother know?
Her meeting with Mo Gan should be very secret!

No, no, no, Shen Jiaojiao, don't scare yourself. Maybe your sworn brother is deceiving you?

Thinking of this, she pretended to be calm and said: "I don't know what you are talking about."

She paused and asked sarcastically: "What qualifications do you have to ask me? Are you so controlling? Want to know all my itineraries?"

She said this on purpose, she wanted her sworn brother to walk away in shame and annoyance.

"Let's talk about it." Meng Hui said calmly.

Shen Jiaojiao choked at these words and lowered her eyes to stare at her sworn brother's indifferent face.

Seeing him looking at her with a half-smile, he put his big hands on the square table and tapped his fingertips on the table, making a clicking sound.

It was like a knock on her heart.

She took a deep breath, simply sat down again, and recounted in detail everything that happened after going out today.

Among them, the meeting with Mo Gan in the teahouse was changed into a long talk with Wei Lan.

How can I tell him about the conversation at my daughter's house?

In this way, she perfectly concealed the fact that she was meeting Mo Gan.

Meng Hui obviously didn't believe her, but he couldn't find any flaws. He just pointed out the unusual things based on his feelings.

"You spent too long in the teahouse."

"Can't we stay in the teahouse and chat?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

Meng Hui nodded, "Okay."

She suddenly thought of something, covered her lips and laughed.

"I thought my sworn brother was looking for me because of Miss Jiang Er."

"Second Miss Jiang?" Meng Hui raised her eyebrows, wondering why she mentioned Jiang Yi.

"Brother, don't you know? Yesterday, the young ladies of the Jiang family condescended to come to attend a small concubinage ceremony in the Meng Mansion. Second Miss Jiang even specifically mentioned you to me."

She admired and continued to praise Jiang Yi.

"She seems to know the whereabouts of my adopted brother at all times. Her eyes light up when she talks about you and she is very happy for you. My adopted brother should not miss such a good girl."

Meng Hui looked at her quietly, making her feel guilty and put away her smile. Then the man said lightly: "Are you jealous?"

Her face turned red instantly, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"How could I be jealous?"

"I hope you marry your sister-in-law as soon as possible, so that I can be freed too!"

The smile on Meng Hui's lips froze, and his breathing was disordered for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

He stared deeply at Shen Jiaojiao, with undetectable pain deep in his dark pupils.

"You really think so?"

Shen Jiaojiao tried her best to ignore the uneasiness in her heart and nodded gently.

"nature."

"Do you want to end your relationship with me?" the man asked again.

Her lips trembled slightly, but the words she spoke were extremely firm, "Didn't I make it clear last night? Is there anything else unclear about my sworn brother?"
