"Mom, you can eat fruit too. I'll peel it for you myself."
Bai Mengqiu came close to Mrs. Wen, and Mrs. Wen had obviously forgiven Bai Mengqiu for his previous plot against her.
Hearing this, he said with satisfaction: "This kind of thing can be done by the servants."
"I want to help my mother."
The two of them stood together, showing their deep affection for each other. Wen Jingyi looked at them indifferently, but her suspicion grew deeper.
She suddenly spoke, interrupting their exaggerated intimacy: "Mrs. Wen said before, how old was I when I left home?"
"Three years old."
Seeing Mrs. Wen speak subconsciously, Wen Jingyi understood.
She nodded silently, then asked, "Okay, children under three are already basically independent. Can I ask how my family took care of me back then? Did I leave any toys behind?"
"How can I remember something that happened so many years ago?"
Mrs. Wen was a little impatient.
I always feel that whenever Wen Jingyi brings up what happened back then, she is questioning her own irresponsibility and complaining about the unfair treatment she is receiving now.
But the Wen family has been good enough to Wen Jingyi, so why should she be dissatisfied?
Mrs. Wen retracted her smile and recalled indifferently, "What does a three-year-old child know? Every day he just eats and sleeps. After so long, I have long forgotten everything."
Have you completely forgotten all the memories of your biological daughter?
And it was a daughter who was lost since childhood.
If it were someone else, they would probably want to remember this memory forever. Which mother would be as calm as Mrs. Wen?
Wen Jingyi raised her eyebrows and paid attention to Mrs. Wen's expression.
It seemed that there was a subtle hint of unnaturalness on her arrogant and indifferent face.
What is she hiding from me?
Wen Jingyi was thinking about how she could get more information from Mrs. Wen about what happened back then.
At this time, Bai Mengqiu could no longer sit still.
She couldn't bear to see Wen Jingyi get lost in exchange for Mrs. Wen's sympathy.
So he quickly took Madam Wen's hand and reminded her, "Sister, come to think of it, Mr. Mo's birthday is coming soon. Should we prepare something at home?"
Mrs. Wen's attention was instantly drawn away.
Mo Yunfan is the most important person now.
Although they are both their own daughters, letting Wen Jingyi marry Mo Yunfan... is obviously not as cost-effective as letting Bai Mengqiu take advantage of this.
Even if Wen Jingyi, this ungrateful person, had a golden thigh like Mo Yunfan, she would not think of giving anything back to her family.
She fully supported Bai Mengqiu marrying Mo Yunfan.
Now that the business was brought up, he rolled his eyes and said, "That's true. Why don't we invite Mr. Mo to our house and hold a banquet for him?"
"Of course, if Mr. Mo doesn't like crowds, then we can just have a simple family dinner and let Mengqiu cook for him personally."
Madam Wen caressed Bai Mengqiu's hand lovingly: "Mengqiu has also learned to cook recently."
The two of them sang the same tune, almost assuming that Wen Jingyi would definitely agree.
It seems to be a done deal.
But no one asked Wen Jingyi's opinion.
"Then it's settled—"
"Feel sorry."
Wen Jingyi suddenly smiled apologetically, her tone calm: "He didn't say he was going to hold a party. We plan to celebrate the birthday alone. No one else needs to attend. There's no need to go to such trouble."
The expressions of the two unrelated people were varied.
Madam Wen forced a smile and said, "How can this be possible? Mr. Mo is such a person of high status. It's too petty for you to celebrate his birthday alone. Not only is it unworthy of Mr. Mo's status."
"If outsiders knew about this, they would think we treated Mr. Mo coldly and spread rumors about our Wen family."
Isn’t there enough gossip about the Wen family?
Wen Jingyi remained unmoved and continued to speak slowly:
"Bai Mengqiu is a rich lady, how can we let her condescend to cook for outsiders?"
"Oh, what kind of young lady is she!" Mrs. Wen blurted out.
But before she finished her words, she realized that she had said the wrong thing in a hurry, and she awkwardly patted Bai Mengqiu's hand.
Then he added, "What I mean is that Mr. Mo is not an outsider. Sooner or later, we will be a family. Meng Qiu doesn't mind."
The mother and daughter's efforts to win over Mo Yunfan really opened Wen Jingyi's eyes.
Even Bai Mengqiu's expression froze for only a moment before he smiled gently and said, "Compared to Mr. Mo, our status is not up to par. I'm not wronged."
Without waiting for Wen Jingyi to refuse again, this time, Shen Zekai was also very moved.
That was Mo Yunfan’s birthday party.
If I could become the organizer... even if Mo Yunfan didn't say anything, it would be a huge honor in the eyes of outsiders.
Who would spread rumors that he and Mo Yunfan have a bad relationship then?
In the past, Xingyun withdrew the contract with the Shen family, and Shen Zekai has been secretly ridiculed until now.
This is the best chance to turn the game around!
So, without caring about Bai Mengqiu's excessive enthusiasm for Mo Yunfan, he urged Wen Jingyi: "Aunt and Mengqiu are right. Mr. Mo's birthday really can't be sloppy."
The three of them bombarded her in turns. Wen Jingyi clenched her palms and watched the scene coldly.
They really are a family with similar interests.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Bai Mengqiu gently asked Wen Jingyi, "But if Sister doesn't like it, we won't force it."
"We know that my sister has worked hard to build a good relationship with Mr. Mo. Perhaps she wants to spend more time alone with him. We understand that you feel insecure."
Madam Wen was unhappy. "It's precisely because we all know that she can't win over Mr. Mo on her own that we have to help host the banquet. Otherwise, it would be rude for her to celebrate Mr. Mo's birthday alone in such a shabby way."
