She has a slender waist and delicate bones, and is able to seduce the ascetic horse.

Chapter 290 Drawing a Clear Boundary
Shen Jiaojiao's pupils suddenly shrank, and her face was full of disbelief.

What does this mean?
For Meng Wan's sake, is her stepmother going to use the grace of raising her to threaten her?

She raised her hand and pressed it against her heart.

I thought I had been heartbroken a long time ago and would not care about my mother's behavior, but at this moment I can truly feel the heartache.

Mrs. Meng stared at her intently. Seeing her pale face and trembling lips, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

This means that Shen Jiaojiao has not given up on her stepmother, and she can use the bargaining chip of family affection to force Shen Jiaojiao to let Wan'er go.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Meng gritted her teeth, bent her knees and was about to kneel on the ground.

"Foster mother!"

Shen Jiaojiao screamed in fright, and hurriedly stood up and hid aside.

Meng Hun was also shocked by this sudden change. Seeing that she was dodging in a hurry and almost tripping, his brows suddenly twisted.

With a tiptoe move, the man chased in the direction of Shen Jiaojiao and successfully embraced her in his arms.

Mrs. Meng was also stopped by Mr. Meng.

"Ma'am, what are you doing?!"

Mr. Meng was so angry that his voice was shaking. He raised his hand and was about to slap down the next moment.

However, Mr. Meng finally withdrew his hand angrily and started to scold harshly.

"How can Jiaojiao accept this gift from you? You are putting Jiaojiao in an unfilial and unjust position!"

If he didn't want to embarrass Madam Meng in front of the children, he would never let her go so easily!

He never thought that Mrs. Meng would be so confused.

How much magic potion did Meng Wan give Madam Meng? She no longer behaves like an elder and is no longer as steady as before.

If she knew that Meng Wan was a fake, how would she feel if she cruelly harmed her adopted daughter whom she raised since childhood just for a fake?
In such a rage, Mr. Meng wished he could reveal Meng Wan's true identity to the public right then and there.

"Do you know that Meng Wan is..."

"Dad, Jiaojiao is fine."

At the critical moment, Meng Hun interrupted Master Meng.

Mr. Meng gradually regained his senses, and after receiving the warning from his eldest son, he could only shut his mouth reluctantly.

Meng Wan was observant and heard something else in Mr. Meng's words, which seemed to be about her. She couldn't help but look up and secretly glance at Mr. Meng.

What did Dad want to say just now?

Before he had looked for long, his eyes suddenly met Mr. Meng's disgusted gaze. Meng Wan was startled and hastily withdrew his gaze.

Why is Dad looking at her like that?
Could it be that... Daddy knew something?
Meng Wan was so frightened by his own thoughts that his whole body trembled. He lowered his head and dared not look around again.

Mr. Meng snorted in annoyance, flicked his sleeves and went back to sit at the top.

"Jiaojiao, don't be afraid." Meng Hun held Shen Jiaojiao in his arms and patted her back gently.

Their bodies were pressed tightly together in a very intimate posture.

Shen Jiaojiao almost collapsed. She buried her face in the man's chest and sobbed silently.

The sweet fragrance of osmanthus surrounded her tightly.

She became more and more reluctant to let go, as if she wanted to draw some strength from this familiar fragrance.

It felt like someone had cut a big hole in my chest.

It was empty inside, there was nothing.

Pain emanated from every part of her body, making her brain feel like it was about to explode.

The feeling of not being loved is so painful.

She had never thought that her stepmother would do this for Meng Wan. Her stepmother was so unconditional in her love that she was unwilling to share even one ten-thousandth of it with her.

"If you don't love me, why do you still support me?"

Shen Jiaojiao questioned softly, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible to anyone.

Except for Meng Hui who practiced martial arts. A trace of pain flashed in the man's eyes, and he used his arms again to hold her tightly in his arms.

He put his thin lips to her ear and whispered soothing words.

"Jiaojiao, don't cry, don't be sad, you still have me."

The hot air hit her ears, creating a charming atmosphere, but it also added an endless sadness.

The two of them were obviously too intimate.

But no one was in the mood to dwell on these things. They were so frightened by Mrs. Meng's shocking move that they had no time to think.

Mrs. Meng had just been scolded in public by Mr. Meng, and now she was left aside, her face flushed with anger.

Now she couldn't do anything, whether to go back and sit down or to continue talking. She was in a dilemma.

"Jiao, Jiaojiao, that's not what mother meant. Mother... Mother is just anxious..."

Mrs. Meng looked at Shen Jiaojiao blankly and explained incoherently.

She didn't want to listen and turned her face to the other side, but her tears still kept flowing.

Meng Hun glanced at Madam Meng coldly, lowered his head and said softly: "Jiaojiao, I will take you back to Mingzhu Courtyard."

She nodded slightly.

Meng Hun picked her up by the waist and was about to walk out.

Mrs. Meng was horrified and hurriedly took two steps forward to try to stop him.

"Jiaojiao, please forgive Wan'er..."

Before he could finish his words, he was stunned by Meng Hun's sharp gaze.

I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat on my back.

Shen Jiaojiao had obviously heard these words. She raised her face from Meng Hun's arms, stared at Madam Meng with misty eyes, and said word by word:

"Mother Meng, I promise you, I will forgive Meng Wan."

The call of "Meng Yimother" instantly severed the only remaining mother-daughter relationship between the two.

From now on, she no longer had to worry about Mrs. Meng's feelings, as she had already repaid all the kindness of raising her.

Today is the day for the two of them to draw a clear line between themselves!
After saying this, Shen Jiaojiao raised her hand and grabbed Meng Hun's collar, gently pulling it a few times, reminding him to leave as soon as possible.

Meng Hun pursed his lips tightly, hugged her and strode away.

The house was dead silent.

Chen Yuanli was on pins and needles. He had not expected something like this to happen. He was afraid that if he stood up, he would be too conspicuous. If he sat still, he would be too indifferent.

Seeing Mrs. Meng standing at the door in a daze, Chen Yuanli thought again and again, and finally stood up and walked to Meng Wan's side.

"Wan'er, help your mother-in-law to sit down." Chen Yuanli reminded.

Meng Wan came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream, immediately stood up and went forward to support Madam Meng.

"Mother, it's Wan'er's fault that you have to worry about me like this."

As he spoke, tears rolled down his cheeks again.

Mrs. Meng turned her head and looked at Meng Wan in a daze.

Looking at the face that was almost exactly the same as her own when she was young, Mrs. Meng took a deep breath and suppressed the panic in her heart.

It doesn't matter, she's just an adopted daughter.

She was an adopted daughter whose entire father's family was executed, so she couldn't cause any trouble.

As long as Wan'er is fine, that's enough!
She doesn't care about Shen Jiaojiao and Meng Jiaojiao, so what does it have to do with her?
Her Wan'er is the most important.

"Don't be sad, and don't be angry with me. It's my fault. I made you worry." Meng Wan helped Madam Meng to sit down on the chair. "Wan'er believes that I won't blame you..."

Until this moment, she was still trying to please Mrs. Meng.

Mrs. Meng said "hmm" and said nothing.

Hearing this, Mr. Meng was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead. He couldn't help but raise his hand and slap the armrest of the chair hard.
