Chapter 190 Kissing
"Everyone, I invite you here today to announce a great happy event, and I also want you to be a witness."

Mrs. Jiang stood up and looked at Shen Jiaojiao.

Everyone present also turned their attention to her.

Shen Jiaojiao was startled, her eyes widened, and she looked at Mrs. Jiang at a loss, not understanding why the other party was looking at her.

Do you still have to wait for her to arrive?
Could it be that...Mrs. Jiang wanted her to witness the happy event between her adopted brother and Jiang Yi?
Thinking of this, she subconsciously turned her attention to Meng Hui.

The man turned his back to her and sat at a table with a group of noble men.

Some of the gentlemen at the table were looking at her, some were joking, and their mouths seemed to be congratulating her adopted brother.

Shen Jiaojiao stared at her adopted brother's back, hoping that the other party would give her some hints.

Unfortunately, there is nothing.

The man picked up the tea cup and sipped it lightly, sitting as steady as a clock.

Seeing that she couldn't get any hints from her adopted brother, she felt a little discouraged and could only look away and look at her adopted mother.

Mrs. Meng actually had a smile on her face.

But the adoptive mother didn't seem to understand why Mrs. Jiang valued her so much, and had to wait until she was present before announcing it.

Mrs. Meng didn't pay attention to this episode.

After all, isn't valuing Shen Jiaojiao the same as valuing the Meng family?

This is actually a good thing for the Meng family.

"Jiaojiao, what are you looking at? You are so entranced." Wei Lan's voice came from the side.

Shen Jiaojiao came back to her senses, hurriedly straightened her head, put her chin slightly back, and stared straight ahead.

She didn't even dare to look around anymore, avoiding everyone's eyes, silently waiting for the good news from Mrs. Jiang.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jiang stood at the top and waved to her, "Jiaojiao, come to Auntie."

She looked around, trying to confirm whether the 'Jiaojiao' was calling her.

Wei Lan beside her pushed her forward.

"Mrs. Jiang is calling you, go quickly."

Shen Jiaojiao was pushed forward two steps, completely exposed to everyone's sight.

Mrs. Jiang smiled gently and waved to her again, as if she wanted her to stand beside her.

In full view of everyone, she couldn't shirk away, so she could only walk over step by step with heavy steps.

When passing by Meng Hui's dining table, she couldn't help but turn her head and look over.

The man lowered his eyes and didn't even look at her.

She took a deep breath and looked away.

There was a dense sourness in my heart, as if I had been soaked in vinegar.

It seems that Yumei was wrong.

The sworn brother wants to get engaged to Jiang Yi...

How ironic, the two of them slept together last night, and today they were about to witness his good news.

Shen Jiaojiao thought that if her adopted brother made a marriage arrangement today, she would never get entangled with her adopted brother again even if she tried her best not to take this life and did not understand the poison.

How could she hurt Jiang Yi so cruelly?
In just a few steps, she seemed to have walked as long as a year.

Mrs. Jiang reached out and pulled her to her side.

That well-maintained hand never let go and kept holding her hand tightly.

Shen Jiaojiao struggled unaccustomedly, but failed to break free. Instead, she was held tighter.

She frowned, but she was afraid that if she pulled her hand back hard, it would discredit Mrs. Jiang, she had no choice but to give up.

"Everyone, the good news I want to announce to you is——"

Mrs. Jiang had a happy smile on her face and undisguised happiness in her tone.

"Today I will recognize Miss Shen Jiaojiao as my adopted daughter. From now on, the Jiang and Meng families will be one family and get along with each other like relatives."

As soon as he finished speaking, the originally noisy lobby suddenly became quiet.

The sounds of talking, drinking tea, and walking... all disappeared, and it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone looked at Mrs. Jiang and then at Shen Jiaojiao, wondering why the promised engagement turned into a recognition of marriage.

This is too strange...

What about the marriage between the eldest young master of the Meng family and the second young lady of the Jiang family?

Is it possible that the Meng and Jiang families want to get closer? Shen Jiaojiao froze on the spot, motionless as if her acupuncture points had been tapped.

what happened?

Why is this happening?
She twisted her neck stiffly and looked in the direction of her adoptive mother.

Mrs. Meng stood up at some point.

From the look of surprise on the adoptive mother's face, it is not difficult to see that the adoptive mother must also be unaware of this.

There are only two people in the Meng Mansion who can take charge.

The adoptive mother did not know, and the adoptive father could not discuss the matter with Mrs. Chiang alone. Who else could it be...

A flash of inspiration quickly flashed in my mind.

Shen Jiaojiao suddenly raised her head and glanced at Meng Hui.

The man who was supposed to be drinking tea leisurely put down the tea cup at some point, folded his hands on his knees, and was looking at her lightly.

Deep in the dark pupils, a ray of warmth flowed.

When she wanted to take a closer look, she returned to her usual calm and distant look.

She can be sure that her sworn brother must know!

She even suspected that the so-called betrothal between Meng and Jiang was just a smokescreen set off by the sworn brother and Mrs. Chiang.

As for why there is such a big fanfare to recognize the relationship...

Shen Jiaojiao couldn't understand.

At this moment, she simply couldn't refuse.

Mrs. Jiang said in front of many guests that she would accept her as her goddaughter. How could she stand up and refuse at this time?

Didn't even the adoptive mother dare to say a word without seeing her?

Just when everyone didn't know how to react, a round of applause sounded.

Immediately afterwards, sparse applause broke out.

Everyone woke up from a dream and congratulated the Meng and Jiang families while stroking their palms.

"congratulations!"

"It turns out this is the date we've arranged for!"

"Young lady is so lucky. It would be nice to have a godmother to care for you."

……

The people present were all human beings. After they realized what they were doing, they immediately praised Shen Jiaojiao to the heavens and the earth. They also lamented Mrs. Jiang's good luck in having a good daughter.

Shen Jiaojiao felt guilty after being praised, so she forced out an embarrassed smile.

Mrs. Jiang shook her hand and waited until she raised her eyes to look over before she made a promise.

"Jiaojiao, I will definitely treat you as my own daughter."

"Ah?" She was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

The idea of ​​having sex in public was beyond her imagination.

She didn't know how to respond at all...

The corners of Mrs. Jiang's eyes were slightly moist, and she raised her hand to hold her shoulder, and patted her shoulder vigorously with her gentle hand.

"A good boy, a good boy from a foster mother."

The pronunciation of the word "righteousness" in the stepmother's name is unclear, it sounds like the second tone.

Shen Jiaojiao nodded, still not knowing what to say.

Mrs. Jiang didn't care about her rudeness. She couldn't suppress the curvature of the corners of her mouth, and she hugged her and babbled.

“I felt particularly connected to you as soon as I saw you.

"Maybe it's because you look similar to a few girls in my family, or maybe it's fate. Ever since I saw you, I've been looking forward to getting closer to you.

"Your sworn brother came to visit you a few days ago. I told him my expectations. I thought that the Meng family was unwilling to give up love, but I didn't expect..."

At this point, Mrs. Meng covered her face and cried.

Shen Jiaojiao's pupils trembled, and she hurriedly took out the snow-white handkerchief from her arms and handed it over.

What happened to Mrs. Jiang?
It's just a marriage, how can you act like you have fulfilled a long-cherished wish?
