Chapter 19: Angry
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As soon as they reached home, Ning Jia said with a cold face, “Meng Yao, come upstairs with me!”
Meng Yao lowered her head and followed Ning Jia upstairs.
Seeing that, Meng Wei quickly followed and asked Meng Jiao, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
“I don’t know.” Meng Jiao was confused.
Meng Wei frowned in disbelief and asked, “Didn’t you guys go shopping together? How could I not know?” Meng Wei frowned in disbelief.
“I really don’t know.” Meng Jiao shook her head.
Meng Wei looked at the various shopping bags that the bodyguards had put down and patiently asked Meng Jiao what had happened.
The servant happened to bring a plate of strawberries over. Meng Jiao took a strawberry and told Meng Wei and the others what they had done as she ate.
“Kneel!” Ning Jia sat on the rocking chair on the balcony with her back facing Meng Yao and shouted coldly.
Meng Yao obediently knelt down.
No one knew Ning Jia’s temper better than Meng Yao.
“Mother, I was wrong. I won’t do it again.” Meng Yao automatically admitted her mistake, and tears flowed down.
“What did you do wrong?” Ning Jia asked lightly.
Meng Yao bit her lip and did not speak.
Ning Jia slowly turned around and looked at her adopted daughter who was kneeling in front of her. She said, “Before we brought Meng Jiao back, we had already agreed that you were raised by me and will always be my daughter. Even if Meng Jiao comes back, you will still be a daughter of the Meng family. Whatever you had in the past, you will still have it in the future. There won’t be any changes. Did you not understand, or did I not make it clear?”
“I understand, Mother. I understand. I understand everything.” said Meng Yao. She took two steps forward on her knees and put her hands on Ning Jia’s legs, crying with tears streaming down her face.
Ning Jia looked at Meng Yao coldly and questioned, “Then why did you bully her? How could you allow her to wear those dresses of different colors to meet Grandma? She didn’t know but don’t you know what Grandma likes and doesn’t?”
Meng Yao was speechless.
Ning Jia looked at Meng Yao and felt disappointed. Ning Jia said, “You are scheming against her, but do you know? Jiao is thinking about you with all her heart! She bought an extra dress for every dress you picked out for her. It’s your size! She acknowledged you as her sister, but you never treated her as your sister! What’s the difference between you and an ingrate?”
Meng Yao raised her head in shock. When she saw Ning Jia’s angry eyes, she could not help but lower her head again. She cursed in her heart, ‘That country bumpkin actually bought dresses for me? Would she be so kind?’
“Mother, I was wrong. I won’t do it again.” Meng Yao quickly apologized.
Ning Jia remained silent.
Meng Yao cried, “Mother, I’m so scared. I’m so scared that you won’t love me anymore after having Jiao. After all, Jiao is your biological daughter. I-I even dreamt that you chased me out of the house and did not want me anymore. I was too scared to sleep. Mother, what should I do? What should I do?”
Meng Yao hugged Ning Jia’s leg and cried her heart out.
Looking at the top of Meng Yao’s head, Ning Jia’s heart softened. She gently placed her hand on Meng Yao’s head and said resentfully, “Why are you so silly?”
Meng Yao’s nervous heart finally settled down. This round was considered passed.
After listening to Meng Jiao’s narration, Meng Wei was a little confused. He asked, “There’s nothing wrong with that? Why would Mother be angry?”
Meng Jiao shook her head and said, “I’ve asked Mother. But she said she’s not angry.”
Meng Wei looked at Meng Jiao helplessly. He said, “I’m already stupid enough in this house. I didn’t expect someone even more stupid than me.”
Meng Jiao looked at Meng Wei and smiled innocently.
Meng Wei could not help but remind Meng Jiao, “When we go to Grandma’s house tonight, don’t talk nonsense. Just stay by Mother’s side obediently. Grandma has a bad temper. Don’t make her angry. If she’s angry, the whole family won’t have a good time.”
Unknowingly, Meng Wei had already accepted Meng Jiao. He had long forgotten about his agreement with Meng Yao to ignore his new sister.
When Meng Tang came back from work, the family returned to the Meng family manor together.
Ning Jia wore the dress she had worn the day she brought Meng Jiao home. It matched the dress that Meng Jiao had chosen for herself. Ning Jia chose the same series of clothes for Meng Wei and Meng Yao. Meng Wei did not care about these small details. But, Meng Yao’s expression darkened.
Meng Yao had finally lost her place in her mother’s heart. Looking at the dress on Meng Jiao, Meng Yao coldly looked away. She had underestimated this country bumpkin. There was still a long way to go, so she could only plan ahead.
