Chapter 107
Meng Fengdong was originally talking to his sister whom he hadn't seen for a long time, but his eyes fell on the person who appeared behind him. His originally cheerful face instantly turned cold.
Seeing this, Meng Wanqiu turned around and looked.
Seeing Tao Ya appear here, I was surprised for a moment.
How did she get here?
Judging from Feng Dong's expression, it seems that the two of them know each other.
"Feng Dong, what's going on?"
Meng Wanqiu asked her brother.
"Sister, I'll tell you in detail later." Meng Fengdong lowered his head and said to Meng Wanqiu.
Meng Wanqiu nodded. Since Meng Fengdong said so, she was no longer worried.
"Sister, you call her sister...you are siblings!" Tao Ya murmured in a low voice, her eyes full of disbelief.
How could it be such a coincidence that the man she liked was actually Pei Xingzhi's wife's younger brother.
I don’t know if Meng Fengdong knows about Pei Xing’s family. If he knew that his brother-in-law’s mother had done such a thing for their Tao family.
It's even more unlikely that she and Meng Fengdong will have a future.
During the time she was pursuing Meng Fengdong, Tao Ya had completely forgotten her pride.
If her former self saw her current appearance, she would definitely look at her with contempt and would even disdain to talk to her.
Tao Ya is a smart girl. She can see that Meng Fengdong really doesn't like her, but even though she knows this cruel fact, she still can't let go of Meng Fengdong.
She always held on to the naive fantasy that if she persisted a little longer and treated Meng Fengdong better, he would fall in love with her.
It was only with this glimmer of hope that Tao Ya was able to hold on for so long.
But when she learned about Meng Fengdong's relationship with the Pei family, she began to doubt whether her persistent expectations were meaningful.
Noticing Meng Fengdong's cold and bored look, Tao Ya's eyes darkened and her heart ached slightly.
She lowered her head, and her curly hair fell down, hiding the unwillingness in her eyes.
No, she has paid so much, she must be with Meng Fengdong.
As long as she resolved the conflict between her mother and Pei Xingzhi, the external factors that separated them would disappear. As long as she worked harder, Meng Fengdong would definitely accept her.
Thinking of this, Tao Ya regained her spirit, raised her hands and chest, showing the spirit of a beautiful girl.
"Sister-in-law, I didn't expect that you and Meng Fengdong are actually siblings. What a coincidence."
Tao Ya raised a pleasant smile and walked towards her in a swaying manner, wearing slender high heels.
"Sister-in-law!" the brother and sister said in unison, but the former was speechless, while the latter was surprised.
Meng Fengdong turned to look at his sister, his eyes full of questions. What was going on? Could Tao Ya be a relative of his brother-in-law? Wouldn't it be even harder for him to get rid of her in the future?
Meng Wanqiu twitched the corners of her mouth and said with a forced smile, "Look at what you're saying, Miss Tao. Your last name is neither Meng nor Pei. Besides, as far as I know, the Pei and Tao families don't have much of a relationship. How can I be your sister-in-law? You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Miss Tao, please be careful when you're out, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
Meng Fengdong breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, judging from the tone of my elder sister's voice, it seems that she has no relationship with Tao Ya's family. Even if she does have a relationship... it is definitely a very bad relationship.
You know, in Meng Fengdong's impression, Meng Wanqiu has targeted people only a few times, and has never done that to girls.
This was the first time I saw Meng Wanqiu speaking to someone in such a sarcastic way. It was obvious that Tao Ya had offended her elder sister.
Tao Ya's face froze for a moment after hearing Meng Wanqiu's words, but she immediately recovered and smiled again. "I was considering not leaving. Sister Meng is right. I will pay attention to it in the future."
Meng Wanqiu said nothing. Seeing Tao Ya's ability to change her face instantly, she sighed that she and Xu Huizhu were indeed mother and daughter. This face-changing technique was inherited from Xu Huizhu.
However, Sister Meng——
Meng Wanqiu shuddered. This was too corny. She got goosebumps all over her body. She quickly grabbed Meng Fengdong's arm to steady herself.
"Okay, have you packed your things? If you have, come home with me. Your brother-in-law will make something delicious tonight."
"Almost there, sister, wait for me for a moment, I'll be down soon."
"Do you want me to go up and get you some?"
Meng Fengdong waved his hands repeatedly, "No need, sister, just wait for me here, I'll be there soon." The conditions in the boys' dormitory were so bad, with smelly socks and big underpants everywhere, and he didn't want to stink up his sister.
After saying that, Meng Fengdong ran into the dormitory building.
Tao Ya was very upset at being ignored by the siblings, but she could do nothing about it. But she didn't want to leave like this. During the holidays, away from the school environment, it would be difficult for her to find out where Meng Fengdong was, so she didn't want to leave so hastily. She wanted to say goodbye to him properly.
Seeing that Tao Ya hadn't left, Meng Wanqiu didn't say anything. Instead, she pulled out a small vocabulary notebook from her bag and started memorizing words. A foreign language, if you don't read or speak it for a day, will become like a new thing to Meng Wanqiu after a week.
In order to pass the foreign language exams in her freshman and sophomore years, Meng Wanqiu had no choice but to bow to the evil foreign language.
Not long after, Meng Fengdong came down with a handbag. He didn't have much stuff, just some casual clothes, and a handbag was enough.
Meng Wanqiu unzipped it and took a look, then said in her native dialect, "These clothes are thin. It will get cold in a few days."
Meng Fengdong let out a loud 'ang' and followed suit in his hometown dialect, "Is that so? Then I'll go get some more thick clothes."
Meng Wanqiu slapped him on the back and said, "Why are you going? Go home. I've prepared everything for you. You wear a uniform every day at school, so where would you get thick clothes?"
Meng Fengdong chuckled and put his arm around Meng Wanqiu's shoulders.
"Winter!"
Seeing that Meng Fengdong didn't even look at her and was about to leave, Tao Ya hurriedly called him.
Meng Fengdong turned around and glanced at Tao Ya, then retracted his gaze and said to Meng Wanqiu, "Sister, you go first. I'll say a few words to her and I'll catch up right away."
Meng Wanqiu nodded and said, "Hurry up."
Her younger brother is already an adult, and Meng Wanqiu doesn't want to interfere in his interpersonal relationships. Even if she doesn't like the person he is with, she won't intervene.
Seeing Meng Fengdong walking towards her, Tao Ya smiled and said, "You finally talked to me."
Meng Fengdong, however, did not share Tao Ya's good mood. He spoke sternly and coldly, "Tao Ya, Miss Tao, this is the last time, the last time I'm going to make it clear to you. I, Meng Fengdong, do not like you. I will never like you before, now, or in the future. There is nothing between us. Please respect yourself and don't come to me again. Your behavior has seriously disturbed me. Please don't continue this meaningless behavior and waste my time and yours. Thank you!"
Meng Fengdong's cold words were like a bolt from the blue to Tao Ya.
Every word Meng Fengdong said was like a sharp dagger, piercing her body fiercely. The pain was so severe that her soul seemed to have broken away from her body, and her body turned into a piece of wood that felt no pain.
"Did...did your sister say something to you?"
It was unknown how long it had been before Tao Ya found her voice again and she stammered as she questioned Meng Fengdong.
Meng Fengdong frowned fiercely, the displeasure in his eyes deepening. "What does my rejection of you have to do with my sister? Are you okay?"
It's really confusing.
Meng Fengdong, who had long lost his patience with Tao Ya, did not want to wait for her reply. After leaving a word, he left neatly.
"Anyway, I've made my words clear enough. If you continue to be stubborn, Miss Tao, I won't be as easy to talk to as I am now."
The tears that were already welling up in her eyes could no longer be held back and rolled down her pretty face. Her pitiful appearance made the dormitory manager who was watching the fun nearby sigh in pain.
How can a person who doesn't love himself get the love of others?
There is a bus stop at the gate of the Police University, and Line 1 goes directly to the residential area where the Pei family lives.
In the car, Meng Fengdong asked Meng Wanqiu how she knew Tao Ya, and Meng Wanqiu told him about the grudge between the Pei and Tao families.
After hearing that Tao Ya had once asked her brother-in-law to forgive her inhuman mother, Meng Fengdong's impression of Tao Ya became even worse.
There's nothing you can do about it, the people in their family just protect their own people.
"Then what is your relationship with the girl from the Tao family?" Meng Wanqiu asked with interest.
Meng Fengdong frowned and explained, "I have nothing to do with her."
Meng Wanqiu raised her eyebrows and teased, "Oh! Really? But the situation I saw before doesn't seem to match what you said."
Seeing the curiosity and teasing in his sister's eyes, Meng Fengdong's brows twitched, and his tone was very helpless, "It really doesn't matter."
But judging from Meng Wanqiu's reaction, she didn't believe it at all.
Helplessly, Meng Fengdong had to tell Meng Wanqiu the whole story from beginning to end.
Hearing that Tao Ya used her family's power to frequently disturb Meng Fengdong, and even Meng Fengdong's counselor advised him to be patient, Meng Wanqiu became completely furious.
"You silly boy, don't you even know how to say something when you're in trouble? Your sister and brother-in-law are nearby, but you don't ask for help when you're in trouble. You're a complete fool."
Meng Fengdong hugged his angry sister and begged for mercy: "Ah, actually she didn't go too far. I can tolerate it."
"If you could bear it, you wouldn't have that expression on your face." Meng Wanqiu pulled the boy's hand away and said unhappily.
When Meng Fengdong saw Tao Ya before, he was completely impatient and indifferent, even worse than a stranger.
"Oh, don't be angry, don't be angry. I have explained it clearly to her today, and everything will be fine from now on." After being pushed away, Meng Fengdong shamelessly moved forward again.
Knowing that his sister cared about him, Meng Fengdong felt warm in his heart even though he was scolded.
Hearing this, Meng Wanqiu's expression softened slightly. "I hope that girl can take your words to heart, otherwise..."
Meng Wanqiu snorted. If she didn't get angry, would she be treated as a sick cat?
She's just a young girl, and there are so many ways to deal with her.
In the evening, Pei Xingzhi asked Meng Fengdong about his experience at school. Meng Fengdong answered kindly that it was good, which made Meng Wanqiu angry again.
He told Pei Xingzhi about Tao Ya pestering him.
Pei Xingzhi frowned at that time. He wondered if the Tao family was relying on him. It was like a dog-skin plaster.
However, under Meng Fengdong's persuasion, Meng Wanqiu and Pei Xingzhi decided not to cause trouble for the Tao family.
Meng Fengdong is already a grown man. Whenever he speaks, Meng Wanqiu and Pei Xingzhi will listen to him carefully. Since Meng Fengdong does not intend to pursue the matter further, they respect his opinion.
However, besides the three of them, there was also a little kid at the dinner table.
Inheriting the Meng family's protective bloodline, little Pei Jingxi couldn't help but feel angry when she heard that her favorite uncle was bullied.
Xixi was smart. When she heard her uncle say that he didn't want to pursue the matter anymore, she didn't say it directly and silently memorized the name of the bad guy.
Then he kept picking up vegetables and meat for Meng Fengdong, yelling at his uncle to eat more, saying that his uncle had lost weight and was very sweet-mouthed.
It was so corny for Meng Wanqiu and Pei Xingzhi, the two parents, but as the uncle, Meng Fengdong was so moved that his eyes were red.
Holding the little guy in his arms, he kept being affectionate with him. The uncle and nephew hugged each other and whispered something that only each other could hear. Their relationship was extremely good.
At night, Xixi, who had been coaxed to sleep by her uncle, suddenly opened her big eyes. There was no sleepiness in her eyes, but she was very awake.
Xixi rolled down from the bed, holding the little tiger doll, slipping on her slippers, and secretly ran to the study.
He climbed onto the chair swiftly, and judging by the skill with which he did this, it was obviously not his first time.
With his upper body lying on the desk, he picked up the landline phone with his little fleshy hand, put the receiver to his ear, and used the fingers of his other hand to press the numbers one by one.
After a while, the phone was connected——
"Hello!" A steady and low voice came from the microphone.
Xixi raised the corners of her mouth high, and said in a sweet voice, "Wow, Grandpa!"
Pei Zhongyuan was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and his voice softened. "It's Xixi, why are you calling grandpa so late?"
Xixi didn't answer directly, but continued to ask in a sweet voice: "Grandpa, have you eaten yet?"
Pei Zhongyuan smiled, "I've eaten it, where's our Xixi?"
Xixi nodded, "That's good, Xixi has eaten too. Grandpa is busy with work, don't forget to eat on time!"
The smile on Pei Zhongyuan's face became even brighter. Assistant Li next to him was not surprised. Minister Pei was a granddaughter-obsessed person, and every time he spoke to Xiaoxi, his voice had a softening effect.
However, there were other people in the office, subordinates who came to report on their work. They had not spent a long time with Minister Pei. In their impression, Minister Pei had always been a strict leader who was serious and worked to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep.
Now seeing such a contrasting side of Minister Pei, my jaw dropped.
Secretary Li smiled apologetically at everyone and put his index finger in front of his mouth.
The others instantly understood what he meant and immediately shut up, not disturbing the emotional exchange between the grandfather and grandson.
After chatting about some family matters for a while, Xixi finally made her reason clear.
"Grandpa, my uncle came today. Dad asked him how he was doing at school, and Mom said someone was bullying him."
Pei Zhongyuan raised his eyebrows and continued, "Is that so? Then this person is really annoying."
Xixi pouted and nodded in agreement, "Xixi doesn't like this person, but my uncle asked Mom and Dad not to pursue the matter, and Mom and Dad agreed. However, Xixi is still very angry."
Pei Zhongyuan patiently coaxed the little guy, "Don't be angry, dear. Be careful not to get angry and hurt your body."
"Grandpa, please help me, okay? I'm going to give that bad guy some trouble and see if he dares to bully my uncle again."
Xixi was so angry that she clenched her fists. If she were there, she would beat the bad guy to death.
Pei Zhongyuan on the opposite side smiled. The little guy hadn't even graduated from kindergarten yet, but he already knew about revenge. His tone was a little fierce, but listening to him, my heart almost melted.
"Okay, you protective little brat, go to bed quickly. Grandpa will go investigate and report the results to you then, okay?" If someone really bullied the kid from the Meng family, Pei Zhongyuan certainly couldn't just sit there and do nothing.
The next day, Pei Zhongyuan found out what happened between Meng Fengdong and Tao Ya.
What a narrow road for enemies to cross, Pei Zhongyuan sighed in his heart.
Now that he holds an important position, all personal matters must give way to state affairs, so he has no time to deal with the Tao family.
As a result, the Tao family actually took the initiative to bump into us.
Pei Zhongyuan's eyes darkened as he clenched the information in his hand.
——It’s time to close the net.
…
After hanging up the phone, Xixi showed a satisfied smile. Grandpa is still the best.
With her little butt sticking out, Xixi tiptoed to reach the stool below, but she touched a warm body. She was so frightened that her hands went limp and she slid down.
Meng Wanqiu grabbed the spirited little fellow and said sinisterly, "Pei Jingxi, you've become quite capable!"
Xixi: Death——
That night, if Meng Fengdong hadn't stopped her, Xixi would have enjoyed a complete childhood.
