Chapter 296 Entanglement
"Then you can take Madam Yue over there. Jiaojiao and I have something else to do."

Meng Hui said this and turned to look at Shen Jiaojiao.

"You go back first. I agree to what you said."

Shen Jiaojiao raised her head and looked over there in confusion.

What did she say? What did her brother-in-law promise her? How come she didn't know?
Chen Yuanli was obviously also intrigued, and asked curiously: "What's the matter? Jiaojiao, you too, how can you rely on your brother for everything?"

The last sentence was said to Shen Jiaojiao.

She pursed her lips and resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

You don't know anything and you just start blaming her.

Marrying this man is unfortunate for her.

Fortunately, Meng Wan showed up early, allowing her to see Chen Yuanli's true character and avoid this pitfall. If she had waited until she got married, got pregnant and had a child, she would have found out that this man was fickle and had a concubine outside...

Just thinking about it made her shudder.

"It's nothing, there are just too many things going on in the mansion in recent days. Jiaojiao is not feeling well and said she wants to go to the hot spring villa to relax." Meng Hun said.

Hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but look at the man with an inquiring look.

She only told Ke Xin and Keying that she wanted to go to the hot spring villa. How did her brother know?
Could it be that... Ke Ying is really my sworn brother's person?
"What are you looking at me for? Don't you want to go?"

Meng Hun looked back at her calmly, with a calm expression.

"In the past, our whole family would go to the hot spring villa to escape the cold. This year, Meng Wan is pregnant, and there are many things to do... The older generation will not go, so I have to accompany you this year."

"This..." She frowned and said nothing, feeling very unhappy.

This explanation makes sense.

But if her brother-in-law went with her, she could fully imagine that this hot spring trip would not be a pleasant one - her brother-in-law would definitely pester her.

Chen Yuanli saw her dilemma and thought that she didn't want to go with Meng Hun, so he took the initiative to step forward to help her out.

"Don't worry, brother. I will go with Jiaojiao this year."

Hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao frowned even more tightly, and felt even more disgusted in her heart.

If she had to choose between the two, she might as well choose her sworn brother!

At least she can still talk to her brother.

"Forget it. Since my stepfather and stepmother are not available, I won't go this year." She shook her head and rejected the two men. "I want the whole family to go to the hot spring villa together. Now it's just the few of us. It's meaningless to go."

Chen Yuanli looked at her with concern. "A lot of things have happened in the past few days. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to tell me."

She curled her lips and didn't want to say a word.

He opened a dyeing factory after being given some color. This person is really...

Chen Yuanli seemed to be unable to sense her indifference and rushed to get close to her, "Jiaojiao, don't worry. No matter what you have been through or what you have encountered, you are still my Jiaojiao in my heart."

As he said that, he stood up and walked towards her.

Seeing the other party looking at her with what she thought was deep affection, Shen Jiaojiao took a breath and looked as if she had seen a ghost.

"Stop! Stand there and don't move!"

"Jiaojiao..." Chen Yuanli immediately stopped, shook his head helplessly, with a doting smile on his face.

It seemed as if he was indulging her in her unreasonable behavior.

She couldn't help but roll her eyes to the sky. "I thought I made it very clear yesterday. Have you forgotten? Do you want me to repeat it again in front of my brother?"

Chen Yuanli's face froze and he became visibly panicked. He looked at Meng Hun beside him in panic.

If Shen Jiaojiao took the initiative to say the word "divorce", Meng Hun doted on his sister and would definitely stand up for her.

He can't lose the support of the Meng family!
"Jiaojiao, don't be like this, my brother will laugh at us soon." After Chen Yuanli finished speaking, he turned to Meng Hun and said, "Brother, don't mind it, Jiaojiao is in a bad mood, I made her angry yesterday."

Meng Hun picked up the teacup and took a sip, seemingly not intending to pay attention to the dispute between the two.

Chen Yuanli secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked at the woman again, there was a hint of pleading in his eyes. "Jiaojiao, I have something important to talk to you about. Shall we go out and talk?"

He didn't want to involve Meng Hun, and what happened next was not suitable for Meng Hun to hear.

Shen Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows slightly, and the corners of her mouth curved up in a mocking arc, as if she was smiling and said: "There is nothing that cannot be said to others, just say it directly."

"This……"

"What? Could it be that my brother can't bear to hear this? Are you on guard against my brother?"

"No, no, no, don't think too much..."

"Hmm? What does Yuan Li want to say to Jiaojiao? It's so mysterious that even I can't listen." Meng Hun said lightly, and casually placed the teacup on the square table with a light "click" sound.

Chen Yuanli was already afraid of his brother-in-law, and when he saw that he seemed angry, he became even more frightened and uneasy.

"No, nothing, just some trivial matters."

He replied nervously, then stood there with his neck shrunk and remained silent, as if he was being punished.

Shen Jiaojiao rolled her eyes again. She had never seen such a cowardly man.

I’m so scared that my brother is like this.

"Let's go." She stood up.

She was still very interested in what Chen Yuanli wanted to say. After all, this man had just come from Meng Wan. Maybe he could give her a surprise?

Chen Yuanli's eyes sparkled with joy, "Jiaojiao!"

"It just so happens that I have to go back to Mingzhu Courtyard," she added.

"I'll take you back, I'll take you back." Chen Yuanli immediately followed her.

Meng Hun, who was sitting at the top, was unhappy and pursed his lips into a straight line.

"Going back now?"

Shen Jiaojiao looked back at him, a warning in her eyes, "What else?"

Meng Hun was choked by these words. He searched his brain for a long time but could not find an excuse to keep them. He could only watch the two leave.

Fortunately, Yuzhu was smart and quickly called Yumei, Kexin and Keying to follow, not giving the two a chance to be alone.

There was a thick layer of snow in the yard, and the central path was cleared so that two people could walk on it.

Shen Jiaojiao looked back at Chen Yuanli and didn't want to squeeze with him, so she called Ke Xin to come over and hold an umbrella for her.

"There's no need to hold an umbrella." Chen Yuanli muttered and looked up at the sky.

Although the sky is gloomy, there is no sign of snow, so why do we need an umbrella?
In this regard, Keying's explanation is -

"Miss has been taking medicine to regulate her body these days. The doctor said it's best to avoid sunlight."

Chen Yuanli nodded, feeling that something was strange.

Are there really any medicines that need to be protected from light?

And this weather... doesn't look like there's much sunshine.

After walking out of Qinghui Courtyard, Shen Jiaojiao stopped and turned back to signal him to follow.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Chen Yuanli took two quick steps to her side, snatched the oil-paper umbrella from Ke Xin's hand, and diligently held it for her.

"It's hard to say. Please let them stay away and I will talk to you later."

"What a hassle." Shen Jiaojiao pouted unhappily and turned to look at the maids, "You guys should lag behind a few steps and don't follow too closely."

His eyes met Yumei's in mid-air.

She signaled Yumei with her eyes to be careful.

Chen Yuanli suddenly wanted to chat with her privately, who knew what would happen.
