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

Chapter 50 Telling lies

Shen Jiaojiao's scalp felt numb, and she always felt that standing here at this moment seemed a bit redundant.

Miss Jiang Er looked at her step-brother affectionately, and the step-brother also lowered his head to look at Miss Jiang. It was an extremely harmonious scene——

It turned out that the man was still holding his adopted sister's hand.

This picture is really weird.

She wished she could find a crack in the ground and crawl in, never to come out again in her life.

Meng Hui was completely unaware of her embarrassment and stretched out his hand to pull her over and block her in front of Jiang Yi.

"I promised Shen Jiaojiao that I would have a banquet with her later."

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes widened and she looked back at her adopted brother in disbelief.

How could this man tell lies with his eyes open?
When did you agree to something? How come she didn't know about it? !

Seeing Jiang Yi cast suspicious eyes on her, Shen Jiaojiao forced out a smile and said, "Yes, my sworn brother promised me that he would have dinner with me."

Have a feast! Have a feast! Eat a hell of a meal!

If it weren't for the Meng family, she wouldn't have lied for her sworn brother. She wished she could stay away from him!
"Okay." Jiang Yi's face was full of disappointment, but he quickly cheered up and said with a smile: "Then let me sit at the same table with you?"

"It's what I asked for!" Shen Jiaojiao nodded vigorously.

If her adopted brother makes her unhappy, then she has to retaliate.

The man's hand tightened suddenly, obviously dissatisfied with her agreeing.

She pretended not to feel the heat coming from her palms and spoke to Jiang Yi seriously.

Although most of the conversation was about the adopted brother.

……

The lady in charge brought by Mrs. Jiang began to preside over the banquet and simply divided the seats.

Because the government did not pay attention to the defense of men and women, there was no need for men and women to sit separately.

Shen Jiaojiao planned to sit in the corner, Wei Lan naturally followed, Meng Hui also followed her, and there was another Miss Jiang...

As a result, Meng Wan and the Jiang family ladies all came.

The corner instantly became the most distinguished seat.

Many gentlemen and young ladies want to sit there, but are worried that they are not qualified and will be kicked off.

After a while, the young men who had climbed to the top of the mountain to admire the plum blossoms came back.

Shen Jiaojiao actually knew one of the men.

She tugged on Meng Hui's sleeve and asked softly: "Brother, is that Li Shang?"

Meng Hui looked in the direction she pointed, and when he saw Li Shang's pleasant round face, he looked back and looked at Shen Jiaojiao inquiringly.

"Do you remember him?"

"Nonsense...of course." She wanted to say 'nonsense', but felt that she was not very ladylike, so she reluctantly changed it to 'of course'.

Meng Hui frowned, "Don't interact with Wei Lan if you have nothing to do, so she doesn't lead you astray."

He heard the two girls chirping just now - Wei Lan spoke vulgarly and indulgently, causing Shen Jiaojiao to become indulgent too.

"Brother Meng, I'm still sitting here!" Wei Lan glared over with dissatisfaction, then shrank back in fright at Meng Hui's indifferent glance.

"Jiaojiao, take care of your adopted brother!" Wei Lan hid behind Shen Jiaojiao and complained in a low voice, "He is scaring me!"

Shen Jiaojiao's ears were slightly red, "Don't talk nonsense! What's mine and yours!"

"I belong to your family..." Wei Lan curled his lips and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a clear voice.

"It's really lively here. Can Xiaosheng please sit next to Brother Meng?"

Before Meng Hui could answer, the visitor looked at Shen Jiaojiao with a smile, "Miss, we meet again."

Meng Hui's eyes darkened, "Li Shang, if you want to sit down, shut up immediately."

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Shang responded, pulling open the seat next to Meng Hui.

Under his leadership, the young masters from the Wei family, Jiang family and Lin family also sat down, and the table was quickly filled.

"Is this Ah Hui's sister? She was really well hidden, and she was finally brought out today." The man sitting opposite Shen Jiaojiao suddenly spoke. "My sister is so beautiful and fragrant, no wonder she has to hide her."

"Hey, Sister Jiang and Sister Shen seem to be somewhat similar!"

Everyone joked a little and praised Shen Jiaojiao's beauty, but they didn't notice that Meng Hui's face became more and more gloomy.

Li Shang saw this and quickly tried to dissuade her, "Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense. The eldest lady is not something you can talk nonsense about." He glanced at Meng Hui and signaled everyone to stop talking nonsense.

Seeing that he was unhappy, everyone shut up.

"Jiaojiao is so popular, but it's a pity that she's already married." Jiang Yi said sourly, "Why didn't you bring your husband with you to the plum appreciation banquet today?"

Shen Jiaojiao heard the target in Jiang Yi's words and was about to speak, but Meng Wan beat her to it.

"Brother Yuanli is studying in the academy."

"Eh? How did you know?" Jiang Yi asked knowingly.

Meng Wan was suddenly embarrassed and subconsciously turned to Meng Hui for help.

Everyone in Lin'an City knew that Shen Jiaojiao and Chen Yuanli had been engaged for a long time, and Meng Wan had snatched her position as concubine.

Now being exposed to the public...

Meng Hui ignored Meng Wan's eyes.

Shen Jiaojiao came to her rescue, "They are all my sisters."

"Sisters..." Jiang Yi opened his mouth to say more, but Wei Lan took over the topic.

"Why are you asking so much? It's not your turn to take care of other people's family affairs. What's wrong? Do you want to reach out and take care of Meng's house?" Wei Lan smiled coldly.

Jiang Yi was shocked and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but couldn't help but look at Meng Hui.

Meng Hui lowered his head, his long and thick eyelashes drooping, casting a shadow under his eyes.

He didn't seem to be listening to the people at the table.

No one knew that his face seemed indifferent, and the hand hanging at his side was intertwined with Shen Jiaojiao's sleeves, using the cover of the sleeves to carefully play with her delicate fingers.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, why are you looking at Meng Hui?" Wei Lan attacked again.

Even Wei Lan's brother was shocked and didn't understand where his sister could be so angry.

"I didn't..." Jiang Yi was about to retort, but was stopped by Miss Jiang San on the side.

"My sister is impatient and didn't mean it at all. Please don't interpret it too much, Miss Wei. I will apologize to everyone on my behalf."

After saying that, he stood up and bowed to everyone.

“It’s our first time coming to your country and there are many things we are not familiar with. I hope we can have more exchanges in the future.”

Shen Jiaojiao noticed that Miss Jiang San was looking at her, and she quickly smiled and said, "Everyone is friends, let's not talk about this."

"Yes, friend." Wei Lan agreed under her gaze.

This farce has finally come to an end.

Shen Jiaojiao thought everything was over, but she didn't expect that the next banquet would be the one that made her sit on pins and needles the most.

Regardless of everyone's surprised looks, the adopted brother brought her tea and water, picked up vegetables and wiped her mouth, taking care of her in every possible way.

Li Shang could only bite the bullet and take cover, "Look, this is my brother Meng's precious sister. Do you understand why he is protecting her like this this time?"

Everyone nodded in unison and looked at Meng Hui with a little more admiration.

No wonder he is someone who can do big business!
You are so kind to your sister, so affectionate and righteous!

Only Meng Wan next to her was so angry that she gritted her teeth - she was clearly the eldest brother's biological sister!

Shen Jiaojiao's mind was almost blank after eating a meal, and her whole face was red.

Seeing that her step-brother wanted to pick up food for her again, she quickly said that she wanted to get some fresh air.

Jiang Yi stood up enthusiastically and wanted to go with her.

Without waiting for her to refuse, he took her arm.

When they walked to a deserted place, Jiang Yi's slightly cold voice came, "Shen Jiaojiao, what is your relationship with Brother Meng Hui?"
