Chapter 202 Fake
"Brother, were you the one who manipulated Meng Wan and my adopted mother?"

The calm voice echoed in the empty hall.

Meng Hui glanced at her, "Why do you ask Jiaojiao like this?"

Shen Jiaojiao took a deep breath and analyzed rationally.

"Yesterday, Meng Wan suddenly became dizzy and went crazy in the main courtyard. She even got into an argument with Chen Yuanli, and then she suspected that I had drugged her.

"Just now, my adoptive mother also suddenly lost her manners, ignored the guests at the banquet, slapped the table and scolded me.

"My adopted mother is very careful about her words and deeds outside and cares about her reputation. If she hadn't been drugged, how could she have scolded her adopted daughter in front of everyone?"

Meng Hui raised his lips and smiled, raising his hand to give three high-fives, as if he was not surprised that she could see it.

"Jiaojiao really sees clearly."

There was no joy on Shen Jiaojiao's face, but she frowned, "Why did you attack Meng Wan and her adoptive mother?"

She could understand even attacking Meng Wan.

But the adoptive mother...the adoptive mother is the biological mother who gave birth to the adopted brother!

How could a step-brother do such a thing to his step-mother?
Meng Hui calmed down and smiled lightly, "It's just a small punishment, it won't hurt them at all."

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at her.

"If you weren't weak, how could I take action?"

Her eyes suddenly widened and she looked at the man in disbelief, "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

What does her weakness have to do with her adopted brother?
Why use her excuses to harm others?

Besides, it was enough to attack Meng Wan. After all, Meng Wan had done many things to hurt her, but her adoptive mother had not hurt her.

The foster mother was just helping Meng Wan.

Even if the adoptive mother does not love her, this does not deny the foster mother's kindness to her in raising her. As long as the adoptive mother does not harm her, how can she do anything to the adoptive mother? !
Meng Hui glared at her with hatred.

"The poison in your body belongs to Meng Wan, and the man she sent was arranged by Madam. Even if you know this, are you not willing to treat him the same way he did?"

The word 'Madam' was spoken very smoothly.

Shen Jiaojiao blinked, her face full of confusion.

My step-brother actually didn't even call me 'Mother'!
"Really a foster mother?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

"Otherwise?" Meng Hui asked, "Do you really think Meng Wan is so capable? The Pearl Courtyard is guarded by you like an iron barrel. How do you think the people arranged by Meng Wan came here?"

Meng Hui was even more furious when he saw that she still had illusions about Mrs. Meng.

He was wrong.

He shouldn't have been so harsh in his management, and he shouldn't have taught Shen Jiaojiao to be so gentle and submissive, yet he was bullied to the point of being bullied and didn't know how to resist!

"But... my adopted mother is your mother, how could you treat her like this?" Shen Jiaojiao murmured.

She couldn't understand that there were people in the world who would do anything to her mother.

There are no bad parents in the world.

Even if the adoptive mother did something wrong, the adoptive brother should ask first!

Meng Hui pursed her thin lips slightly and stared at her.

In the depths of his deep pupils, there seemed to be a thousand words to say, but in the end no explanation was given.

"Brother, if you were doing this for me, you wouldn't have to do this..."

Halfway through her words, Shen Jiaojiao paused.

My step-brother is not such a person.

The adopted brother would not do such a thing for her.

After getting along day and night for more than ten years, she understood what her adopted brother was like - even though he was usually indifferent and distant towards others and seemed to have no affection for his family, she knew that his adopted brother had family in his heart.

Family is the bottom line for a sworn brother.

How could the adopted brother take action against his own family?

Various possibilities flew through her mind, and she felt as if she had grasped the edge of something. After thinking about it carefully, she couldn't figure it out.

"Brother, are you..."

"Shen Jiaojiao, is this the only thing you want to ask me about?" Meng Hui glanced sideways at her, interrupting her speculation and question.

"Otherwise?" Shen Jiaojiao was stunned.

Meng Hui's eyebrows moved slightly, with a half-smile expression on his face, "I thought you would ask Meng Wan."

"Meng Wan?" She frowned and muttered, and quickly realized what her step-brother was talking about. Earlier in Lanshui Garden, her adopted brother seemed to want to tell her something important about Meng Wan.

Unfortunately, it was interrupted by Jiang Yi's sudden appearance.

Thinking of this, her face became a little more solemn.

Her intuition told her that what her sworn brother was going to say next would most likely subvert her imagination.

"Go ahead." She sat upright, waiting for the man to speak.

Seeing how cautious she was, Meng Hui raised the corners of his mouth slightly, walked over and pulled her to sit down, and ordered the maid to serve tea.

Only then did Shen Jiaojiao realize that she had been standing and talking to her sworn brother, without even offering a cup of tea.

Her face was slightly red, and she sat obediently on the armchair.

Keying quickly walked in, holding a wooden tray in her hand and placing two cups of tea and several plates of exquisite snacks.

After everything is done, Ke Ying Shiqu retreats.

"Brother, drink tea." Shen Jiaojiao pushed the teacup towards the man and made a 'please' gesture.

Meng Hui did not drink in a hurry, but stretched out his knuckled hand.

His fingertips touched the tea cup in front of Shen Jiaojiao.

After confirming that the temperature was not hot, the man took his hand back and squeezed his cup of tea.

Shen Jiaojiao noticed his movements, and felt a touch of warmth in her heart.

Ever since he was scalded at Zhiwei Tea House, his step-brother has developed this habit - whenever he drinks tea, he has to check her temperature to prevent her from getting burned by tea again.

"The maids in your courtyard are pretty good." Meng Hui praised.

She smiled proudly, "That's natural."

As he said that, he picked up the tea cup in front of him, opened the lid and saw that the temperature was really suitable.

Taking a sip only slightly burns your mouth.

"You are so squeamish." The man muttered something unclear.

Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head slightly, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and her ears gradually turned red.

This...how should she answer?

Just as she was twisting her mind, a man's deep voice suddenly came to her ears.

"Maybe Meng Wan is not my sister."

The words exploded in her mind like thunder.

She froze in place, her mind went blank, and she couldn't think at all.

What is the stepbrother talking about? !

Is there something wrong with her ears? Why do you feel like you are hearing hallucinations?

"Maybe Meng Wan is not the lost child of my Meng family." Meng Hui repeated.

This time, Shen Jiaojiao really heard it clearly.

"You, you, me... how could she..."

She was stunned and couldn't control her mouth at all. She didn't know what to say at this moment.

"Previously, I wanted to investigate the matter as soon as possible, and I didn't dare to alert the enemy, so I treated Meng Wan lightly."

As he said this, a hint of apology flashed in Meng Hui's eyes.

"I'm afraid that after you learn the truth, you won't be able to hide things in your heart... I'm sorry for making you worry for so long."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded blankly.

"Okay, I accept your apology."

After the words were spoken, she realized what she had just said.

"No!" She quickly added, "That's not what I meant..."

Facing her sworn brother's serious gaze, she swallowed hard and continued.

"I mean, it's normal for my step-brother to have his own concerns. It's okay not to tell me. After all, I can't hide things..."

"No, I can also hide things. I will never tell anyone what you told me today!"
