Bai Mengqiu and Shen Zekai started arguing and talking without thinking.
The two accused each other, and now recalled what had happened in the past few days, looking at each other with suspicion.
One of them had long felt that the other party paid too much attention to Wen Jingyi.
As for Shen Zekai, he suddenly realized that Bai Mengqiu's attitude towards him had become much colder during this period.
Wen Jingyi...Bai Mengqiu...
Both of them actually threw themselves into Mo Yunfan's arms!
Until Bai Mengqiu spoke without thinking, and suddenly said half angrily, half resentfully: "Haven't you noticed that everyone who gets close to my sister has a bad ending!"
Shen Zekai’s expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: “What do you mean.”
"Oh."
Bai Mengqiu shook off Shen Zekai's hand and counted them one by one:
"The adoptive parents who raised her when she was little, and then her brother Zekai who cared for her wholeheartedly, and... you saw her childhood friend a few days ago. He was a perfectly good person, but suddenly he went crazy!"
She looked deeply at Shen Zekai, lowered her voice, and said in a heavy tone: “Zerui, I don’t want to say this about my sister either.”
"But you also saw what happened to anyone who got close to her."
As Bai Mengqiu spoke, she began to wipe away her tears and said, "Of course I hope to get along well with my sister. I also know that you may think that I am not close enough to my sister."
“No one thinks so…” Shen Zekai comforted in a complicated tone.
“But I also feel guilty!”
Bai Mengqiu looked at Shen Zekai with tears in her eyes, and her helpless look instantly softened Shen Zekai's heart.
This is the girl I have cared for since she was a child.
Now she was crying loudly in front of him. Shen Zekai stretched out his hand stiffly and put it on Bai Mengqiu's back: "I don't doubt your intentions."
"Wow... I know..."
Bai Mengqiu lay in Shen Zekai's arms, sobbing softly and uncontrollably: "I also want to be close to my sister, but I'm afraid."
"My own life is not important, but what about my parents'... I can't let my parents take risks. I'm selfish and I just want my parents to be healthy forever."
She sobbed, and Shen Zekai's heart softened. He hugged Bai Mengqiu and comforted her: "This is not your fault."
The two reconciled, and Shen Zekai's doubts disappeared.
Bai Mengqiu's tears completely forced her back, and her heart was led away by Bai Mengqiu.
But there was a dark cloud around the corner not far away.
Wen Jingyi clenched her palms, her face gloomy, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Her eyes were half-closed and her gaze fell dimly on the ground.
She didn't believe what Bai Mengqiu said.
At this moment, Wen Jingyi was thinking about something else.
The cause of death of his adoptive parents has never been publicized. Even Wen's parents may not know the inside story. Bai Mengqiu is just an outsider.
How did you know that the two people died in an accident?
And you still swear that this matter has something to do with you?
Whether Bai Mengqiu was talking nonsense to deceive Shen Zekai, or she... really knew something.
In addition to the fact that she secretly visited Zhou Jingrui, Wen Jingyi would never miss this opportunity.
She stayed quietly in the corner for a long time, and when she returned downstairs, the food was already on the table.
Mrs. Wen felt a little uncomfortable.
This meal was earned by her shamelessness and acting like a spoiled brat, and her purpose was to let her adopted daughter steal her biological daughter's boyfriend.
She called Wen Jingyi with a dodgy look: "Come and eat, I made your favorite food at home."
Wen Jingyi took a casual glance and didn't see any of her favorite dishes.
When Wen Jingyi accidentally met Mo Yunfan's gaze, her expression paused, and she looked blankly at his inexplicably gloomy face.
She was about to ask what was wrong when she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have left Mo Yunfan alone with Bai Mengqiu...
As a girlfriend, it seems not very kind.
For a moment, Wen Jingyi felt a little guilty.
She sat next to Mo Yunfan, and the seat to Mo Yunfan's right was Bai Mengqiu, who was specially arranged there by Mrs. Wen.
On the right side, a faint fragrance emanated from Bai Mengqiu, and Mo Yunfan's face darkened even more.
Wen Jingyi inexplicably felt that the look in his eyes when he looked at her was particularly resentful.
"cough……"
She pursed her lips and smiled, suppressing her teasing, and whispered an apology: "I'm sorry, I just... had something urgent to do. I didn't mean to leave you here alone."
Mo Yunfan glanced at her coldly, a cold smile flashing across his lips.
He said with an ambiguous tone, "Really?"
Wen Jingyi's scalp was numb, and she felt more and more guilty. She coughed lightly and said:
"I just remembered that I have a few documents in my room that need to be taken away, but the room has been unoccupied for a long time and is too dusty, so I didn't ask you to go over."
The housemaids clean the rooms regularly.
How could a young lady's room be covered in dust?
Mo Yunfan didn't comment, but when he thought about the Wen family's attitude towards Wen Jingyi, he gave up his original plan to tease Wen Jingyi for a while.
He couldn't bear to see Wen Jingyi showing any signs of loss in the Wen family.
Mo Yunfan sighed silently, tapped the back of Wen Jingyi's hand, and said calmly, "You owe me this time. I'll remember this favor and wait for you to pay it back."
Wen Jingyi's smile froze.
He uncomfortably retracted his hand, feeling distressed in his heart, but he appeared to be very cooperative: "No problem, I was wrong this time."
Besides...
Wen Jingyi silently thought of the fanatical looks that Madam Wen and Bai Mengqiu gave Mo Yunfan.
For him, being left with Bai Mengqiu seemed like a den of wolves...
She shuddered silently, quickly put away her strange thoughts and lowered her head to eat.
As for Mrs. Wen, she had already achieved her goal of tricking Mo Yunfan into coming to her house for dinner, so naturally, she didn't say a word about apologizing to Wen Jingyi as she had originally said.
The meal went on in silence.
Bai Mengqiu glanced in the direction of Mo Yunfan and Shen Zekai in annoyance from time to time.
Today was originally a great opportunity to build a good relationship with Mo Yunfan, but who knew that Shen Zekai would suddenly appear, and because of his engagement, he couldn't get too close to Mo Yunfan.
She poked her chopsticks in dissatisfaction and sulked alone.
In Shen Zekai's eyes, he thought she was still angry that he didn't believe her, so he became more cautious in his attitude towards Bai Mengqiu.
He even stopped bothering Wen Jingyi and focused on guarding Bai Mengqiu.
After an awkward meal, Wen Jingyi stood up and said goodbye, no longer looking at Mrs. Wen's eyes that wanted to keep her.
"Oh, right!"
Mrs. Wen thought of something and looked at Mo Yunfan with shining eyes. She hurriedly urged Bai Mengqiu: "Mengqiu also prepared a gift for Mr. Wen. If Mr. Wen doesn't mind, you can take it back. It's a small token of my appreciation."
She urged Bai Mengqiu: "Go quickly."
Mo Yunfan refused calmly and then helped Wen Jingyi get into the car. When the car started, Mrs. Wen just came out with a gift.
"Ah! Why are you gone!"
She took two quick steps, tapped the car window and wanted to say something else, but at this moment the car started slowly, and Mrs. Wen lost her strength and fell face first to the ground.
