Chapter 87 The selfishness of the sworn brother

Meng Hui walked forward quickly, took the greeting card, glanced at it, and crumpled the message into his palm.

The usually indifferent face was stained with anger.

"You don't overestimate your capabilities." He sneered, flicked his fingers, and smashed into Chen Yuanli's arms, "Take a good look."

Chen Yuanli looked surprised. He picked up the crumpled invitation and unfolded it. After reading ten lines at a glance, he showed an even more angry expression than Meng Hui.

"This is unreasonable! This person dares to humiliate me like this!"

He was so angry that he smashed the greeting card on the ground.

"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely be named on the gold list next year so that the evil thief will not dare to think of Jiao Jiao even a little bit!"

Meng Hui nodded lightly, "Your knowledge is no worse than others, it's okay."

Seeing that both of them were so angry, Meng Wan asked curiously: "Husband, what is written on the post? Why are you so angry?"

"Nothing." Chen Yuanli bent down to pick up the greeting card and put it into his sleeve, for fear of being seen.

Meng Wan rolled her eyes, knowing in her heart that they were nothing more than words about coveting Shen Jiaojiao, so she didn't say them. She could ask her mother later.

But... who is this Murong Zi? To actually make both my eldest brother and husband angry?
Thinking of this, Meng Wan asked again: "Husband, why are people outside so afraid of Murong Zi? Does he have three heads and six arms?"

Chen Yuanli shook his head, "He's just a villain who took advantage of everything."

Under Meng Wan's repeated questioning, Chen Yuanli had no choice but to describe Murong Zi's background in detail——

Murong Zi was not from Lin'an, so he took over Yichun Court by chance, and gathered a group of talented people from nowhere to start a killer organization.

From the killer organization at the beginning to the Wanshi Gang, it only took seven or eight years for its power to spread all over the south of the Yangtze River.

Some people had suspected that there was someone behind Murong Zi, but no one had ever found out who was behind him.

All in all, this person is in charge of most of the underground forces in Lin'an City and cannot afford to offend easily.

"I see." Meng Wan nodded and glanced meaningfully at Shen Jiaojiao, "Murong Zi cares about sister, what should we do?"

Shen Jiaojiao paid no attention, but had a thoughtful expression on her face.

Logically speaking, what kind of woman does a man like Murong Zi want? Why do you fall in love with her?
She is a married woman!

"Sister? Sister?" Meng Wan walked to her side and her voice became much louder.

She came back to her senses, raised her eyes and looked at Meng Wan who was close at hand, "What's wrong?"

Meng Wan covered her lips and smiled and asked, "What are you thinking about, sister, so absorbed in your thoughts? You didn't even hear me calling you."

"nothing."

"Are you thinking about Murong Zi? I heard that he fell in love with his sister at first sight, and he must be her!"

"Meng Wan!"

Shen Jiaojiao lowered her face and glared angrily.

"What are you talking about? No one in the room knows what kind of person I am? How could I do such shameless things?"

"Husband, look at sister..." Meng Wan stood beside Chen Yuanli, stretched out her hand to grab his sleeves, and complained with a pursed lips, "I just asked a question, and she retorted me so much. She didn't know anything. I thought she was being a thief..."

"Lang Noisy." Meng Hui glanced over coldly.

Meng Wan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she did not dare to say anything for fear of angering her elder brother.

Mrs. Meng rubbed her temples and tried to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, let's stop making trouble. What's more important now is that Murong Zi comes to visit."

After saying that, he raised his eyes and looked at Meng Hui.

"Ah Hui, how do you plan to handle this matter? If it's not done right, it might affect my Meng family's business."

"We'll talk about it when he comes," Meng Hui said. He had already made a plan in his mind, and he only waited for Murong Zi to send Aoxue back before making any plans.

Mrs. Meng smiled with relief, "Fortunately you are back. Mom doesn't understand these things. Your father went to the government office early in the morning, and I don't know when he will return."

"Mansion office?" Meng Hui's eyebrows twitched, "I'll send someone to ask."

Seeing that Meng Hui was willing to take over this hot potato, Mrs. Meng was relieved and looked at Shen Jiaojiao again.

"Hey, Jiaojiao, why did you cause such trouble? You are not allowed to go out at will from now on."

Shen Jiaojiao also felt that she had caused trouble for the family, so she hurriedly lowered her eyes and said, "What my stepmother said is that I will never go to these places again."

Seeing her submissive look, Meng Hui frowned slightly.

You were still angry at him on the bed this morning. How could you be so concerned about the overall situation in the blink of an eye?

Why should his sister be so aggrieved?
But when I think about her audacity, she dared to break into Yichun Courtyard with a little maid, and last time she met a stranger alone in Meishan, completely disregarding her own safety.

Meng Hui felt that it was right to control her.

If you can hide your beauty in a golden house, lock her in Yingyuan, and then use those golden shackles to fasten her ankles...

"Let's be grounded for half a year." Meng Hui said.

Shen Jiaojiao raised her head in surprise, and her eyes happened to hit the man's deep pupils.

The man lowered his eyes and looked at her, with a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes, "However, I will take Shen Jiaojiao to visit Yingyuan."

Her eyes suddenly widened and she hesitated, "Ying..."

Isn't Yingyuan the property in the name of the sworn brother?
Who is she taking her to visit?
"Did the owner of Yingyuan invite you?" Mrs. Meng's face was full of joy, "Go, go, of course I will go."

"No..." Shen Jiaojiao opened her mouth and was about to refuse, but then she thought about going out in the future.

If she was confined at home, how could she check those things?

But her sworn brother only gave her one choice, that is, she could either be grounded or he would take her out...

Thinking of this, she glared at her adopted brother resentfully and remained silent.

"Mom, what kind of place is Yingyuan?" Meng Wan became interested when she saw Mrs. Meng was so concerned.

"Mom doesn't know. No one has ever gone in. Your eldest brother and sister are the first."

When she said this, Mrs. Meng was still a little proud.

"It is said that the owner of Yingyuan is a high-ranking official from the capital. It will definitely be good to have a relationship with them."

"I want to go too!" Meng Wan's eyes lit up and she turned to look at Meng Hui, "Brother, can I go with you?"

"No." Meng Hui flatly refused.

Meng Wan puffed up her face and said angrily: "We are all sisters anyway, can't you just take me with you?"

"They are not blind either."

"Brother!" Meng Wan screamed and stamped her feet on the spot, "How could you do this!"

While the brother and sister were talking, Chen Yuanli finally stood in front of Shen Jiaojiao and spoke to her.

"Jiaojiao, just listen to my elder brother and go to Yingyuan." He said, sighing, "I can't protect you now, so I hope the one in Yingyuan can protect you."

Chen Yuanli's face was gentle, and he was always thinking about her.

She was stunned and almost choked on her saliva. She coughed several times before gradually calming down.

How can there be any high officials in Yingyuan?
It is clearly the selfishness of the sworn brother!
Didn't Chen Yuanli's words push her towards her adopted brother?
