Chapter 180 Similar family backgrounds
She turned around and looked down at Meng Hui.

Their eyes collided in mid-air.

Meng Hui raised his chin slightly and looked at her with interest, with an indifferent smile on his lips.

Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips, and while sitting down, she looked away in panic.

The step-brother mistakenly thought she was pretending?

No, that's not right...

What does it have to do with her adopted brother whether she pretends to be fake or not?
Thinking of this, she coughed lightly, straightened her back, and turned her gaze to the side, landing on Chen Yuanli.

"Yuan Li called me, but is there something urgent?"

Chen Yuanli's eyes were filled with unabashed amazement, and he even raised his feet and walked towards her.

Everyone knows that Shen Jiaojiao is beautiful.

You can know one thing or two from the fact that she was dubbed 'the most beautiful woman in Lin'an'.

But everyone is also used to her dislike of dressing up - she rarely dresses up deliberately, not wanting to attract attention from others, nor do she want to steal the limelight.

She was able to overwhelm the beauties of Lin'an just by virtue of her beautiful face with clear water blooming like hibiscus.

Even Meng Wan looked pale sitting next to her.

"Husband!"

Meng Wan screamed and put down the tea cup in her hand.

"What are you going to do? My parents still have something to say."

Meng Wan couldn't see Chen Yuanli's happy expression towards Shen Jiaojiao, and felt panic and anxiety in her heart. She wished she could catch him back.

This is the husband she snatched back half way——

She knew that Shen Jiaojiao and Chen Yuanli were engaged, and she also knew that they had lived in harmony for three years, even though they didn't get along much during those three years.

But Meng Wan could sense that Chen Yuanli had feelings for Shen Jiaojiao without saying anything.

He even believed that Shen Jiaojiao was his only wife.

What frightened Meng Wan even more was Shen Jiaojiao's face, a face that any man would flock to after seeing her.

Meng Wan's cry woke up Chen Yuanli.

He came back to his senses and found that he was standing in the center, with everyone's eyes focused on him.

Chen Yuanli touched his nose awkwardly and quickly returned to his seat.

"I...I was thinking about Jiaojiao." He quickly found a slightly embarrassing excuse, "Why are you here so late? What happened?"

Shen Jiaojiao gave him face and nodded immediately, "I'm a little tired from going out today."

Chen Yuanli got off the slope and said, "I heard that you are going to meet the second young lady of the Jiang family with your sworn brother?"

"Well, we met once." As she said that, she glanced at Meng Hui quickly.

The man sitting opposite was drinking tea slowly and seemed not to take this matter to heart.

Shen Jiaojiao lowered her eyes, feeling a little disappointed for no reason.

"Oh! Ah Hui finally got the idea!" Mrs. Meng's overjoyed voice came from above.

Everyone looked up.

Mrs. Meng smiled cheerfully, "If you ask me, the second young lady of the Jiang family has a very good appearance and temperament, and her family background is similar to that of Ah Hui. She is really a good choice."

With that said, he pushed the arm of Mr. Meng next door.

"Master, do you think so?"

Mr. Meng waved his hands in disbelief, "You and I don't have to say anything about this matter. I have to be happy with Ah Hui."

Then, look around.

"The children are here, what are you talking about?"

It’s not that he doesn’t care about Meng Hui’s marriage, but he doesn’t want Meng Hui to end up like his adopted daughter——

Marrying someone you don't like will waste the rest of your life.

Then he would rather let his eldest son wait until the day the person he likes appears, and then work hard for him.

Everyone's eyes fell on Meng Hui again. "I have my own sense of discretion." Meng Hui said calmly.

Mrs. Meng narrowed her eyes with a smile and took out an invitation from her arms.

"The banquet at the Jiang family's side has been decided. Our family will be invited to the banquet tomorrow."

"Family? Everyone?" Meng Wan glanced at Shen Jiaojiao unhappily, obviously not wanting to take her there.

Mrs. Meng frowned and glared at Meng Wan displeasedly, "Of course it's everyone, please stop saying a few words to me."

Qingmai on the side walked up to Shen Jiaojiao in time and presented an invitation.

Shen Jiaojiao looked at the invitation with confusion. She didn't know what Qingmai was holding and didn't dare to accept it.

"Jiaojiao, this is an invitation sent to you by Mrs. Jiang alone. If I ask you to go to the banquet, you can't refuse."

Shen Jiaojiao felt relieved and took the post.

She didn't want to go.

But Mrs. Chiang specially sent someone to deliver the invitation to her, and the Chiangs and his wife treated her well and helped her with many things. It was reasonable and reasonable for her to go.

Seeing that she was willing to accept the invitation, Mrs. Meng first breathed a sigh of relief, then lowered her face and looked at her dissatisfied.

"Jiaojiao, you acted so recklessly today that Wan'er was so scared that she almost contracted her fetus. If the doctor hadn't been right beside her, she might not have been able to survive!"

Shen Jiaojiao looked surprised. She looked at Meng Wan and then at her adoptive mother, not quite sure what she meant.

She looked at Meng Wan's rosy face, and how could he look like he was almost pregnant?

However, the stepmother looked a little pale and didn't know what happened.

"What are you looking at Wan'er? Do you want her to speak for you?" Mrs. Meng asked.

Shen Jiaojiao stood up and saluted, "Jiaojiao knows she was wrong...but if it happens again, I will still do it."

The 'thing' she mentioned was Meng Wan's humiliation of Aunt Zhou.

"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Meng slammed the armrest of the seat with an angry look on her face. She was obviously angry with her.

"How can anyone else be as important as your sister? It's just a trivial matter, but you have to cause Wan'er to have a miscarriage?"

"Is this a trivial matter?" she asked in surprise.

"Yuanli, tell me, is Wan'er's health the most important thing right now?"

Mrs. Meng snorted coldly and turned to look at Chen Yuanli.

"Wan'er was almost frightened to the point of having a fetal infection today. If the tire slipped unexpectedly, your eldest son would be dead!"

Chen Yuanli's expression changed, and he was a little scared.

Indeed, that was his first child.

If it disappears because of this...

He sighed and advised Shen Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, of course Wan'er is more important right now..."

"Husband..." Meng Wan had tears in her eyes and seemed to be moved by Chen Yuanli's words.

She folded her hands on her lower abdomen, as if she wanted to protect this hard-won child.

Chen Yuanli walked quickly to Meng Wan and took her into his arms, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

Shen Jiaojiao frowned, looking at the scene in front of her, feeling as disgusted as if she had eaten a fly.

Because of Aunt Zhou's tragic experience, he was the one who wanted to move out in anger;
And because of the few words spoken by the culprit, he was the one who felt distressed and comforted him.

What is in his noble mind that can take part in scientific examinations?
You shouldn't hesitate to enjoy the beauty of others, right?
"Chen Yuanli, if you forget what Meng Wan did to Aunt Zhou, I don't mind recalling it for you."

Shen Jiaojiao recounted what Meng Wan did today with an attitude that would not allow her to refuse.

Meng Wan tried to interrupt several times, but failed to stop Shen Jiaojiao's words.

After listening to the whole story again, Chen Yuanli's heart burned with anger again.

Meng Wan dared to do such a thing to his concubine, she simply didn't take him seriously!

He actually feels sorry for such a poisonous woman!
Thinking of this, Chen Yuanli held Meng Wan's shoulders and pulled her out of his arms.

"Wan'er, you disappoint me so much!"
