Si Mei smiled faintly and said nothing, neither admitting nor denying.
This ambiguity only confirmed everyone's suspicions. Could this really be the mysterious granddaughter-in-law? Or the hidden daughter of the Si family?
Even Mrs. Shu had some hesitations in her heart. Si Mei said they were just ordinary friends, but were they really just ordinary friends?
The Si family is very protective of their descendants. She only knows that the Si family has two young masters, but she doesn't know their names or what they look like. It's not surprising that they have a daughter hidden.
If she is really the daughter of the Si family, then she must do it. If she is the granddaughter-in-law, she will completely offend the Si family.
These are two extreme results, and either choice will bring great changes to the Shu family.
It seems that we cannot act rashly and we need to understand the situation clearly first.
Madam Shu gave the lady who had just spoken a look without leaving any trace, asking her to continue testing.
The noble lady was distressed. Miss Si San had no intention of speaking out. She could only change the subject and hint at it:
"Miss Si San, I heard that your eldest nephew is getting married. I wonder which famous family he is from? How old is he? Is he from Mocheng? Bring him out to see me when you have time."
"Okay, I'll bring her out when I have the chance." Si Mei agreed readily, but was unwilling to say anything else.
Hearing Si Mei's answer, Yan Mo breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was not exposed to her. She didn't want to become the target of public criticism and be talked about. Now she just wanted to learn something quietly.
Mrs. Shu cursed the idiot in her heart. I asked so many questions at once. If it were her, she would not answer every question.
Unable to get an answer from Si Mei, Mrs. Shu turned her attention to Yan Mo and winked at the woman walking beside Yan Mo.
The woman understood immediately, gave a relieved expression, and immediately asked Yan Mo:
"Little beauty, your name is Momo?"
Yan Mo nodded: "Yes."
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Yes."
"So, do you have any plans to get married? When do you plan to get married?"
“…”
Yan Mo was puzzled, but for Si Mei's sake, she answered truthfully.
After hearing Yan Mo's words, Mrs. Shu gradually made a decision in her mind.
According to her understanding, the eldest son of the Si family got married a few months ago.
It seems that this girl is not the wife of the Si family.
From her answer just now, this girl had just returned from abroad a few months ago, which made her very likely to be the daughter of the Si family. Thinking of this possibility, she felt secretly happy in her heart. As long as San'er had that kind of relationship with her, the Shu family could take another step forward.
"What does your boyfriend do for a living?" The woman was about to ask some specific questions.
Mrs. Shu was overwhelmed with joy and felt that there was no need to waste any more time, so she stopped it immediately and winked at the woman.
The woman gave up questioning Yan Mo and said with a smile, "Madam Shu, Miss Si San, you must be tired from walking!" Then she pointed to the courtyard not far away and said, "Sit down and rest your feet!"
"That's fine." Madam Shu agreed with a smile, looking at Si Mei and asking seemingly casually, but she really couldn't refuse:
"Miss Si San, do you want to take a break? Together?"
"Of course, Madam Shu, if you want to take a rest, I will accompany you." Si Mei didn't think much about it and took the lead to walk towards the courtyard.
She had never expected that Third Young Master Shu, who was obviously following her daughter on a blind date, would fall for the unremarkable Yan Mo.
He even boldly told his mother that the most unsurprising thing was that Madam Shu, who seemed to be indifferent to the world and had a good reputation as a role model in Mocheng, would instruct others to do despicable things for the sake of her son.
This was something no one could have imagined, let alone Si Mei.
So, things went exceptionally smoothly.
Yan Mo followed the noble ladies into the courtyard. It was a small Chinese-style teahouse. The chairs and tea tables were all made of golden nanmu wood with hollow carvings.
A tea artist wearing a turquoise cheongsam sat in front of the tea table, waiting for everyone to arrive.
After entering the courtyard, everyone sat down. The woman next to Yan Mo sat in the main seat, Mrs. Shu and Si Mei sat in the VIP seats, and Yan Mo was arranged to sit at the back.
Sit down for a while.
At the woman's signal, the tea artist began to brew tea for everyone. While brewing tea, he also introduced the effects of tea and its benefits to the body.
soon,
A faint aroma of tofu pudding filled the air, and in front of everyone was a cup of clear and transparent West Lake Longjing tea.
Yan Mo was the last one, and the tea artist asked the tea artist to serve her a cup of tea.
The woman smiled and raised her glass, inviting everyone to drink.
Drinking tea is a science. Yan Mo just took a small sip for the sake of courtesy and began to observe others.
Seeing this, Mrs. Shu and the woman became anxious. They looked at each other and saw what the other was thinking.
Did he discover something and deliberately not drink it?
Afterwards, the woman raised her glass with everyone several times. Yan Mo also just pursed his lips and looked at everyone with a smile on his face.
After a few times, the woman and Mrs. Shu were almost certain that the girl knew that something was added to the tea?
What they couldn't understand was how she knew that.
Madam Shu looked at Si Mei who was sitting opposite her. She didn't even know this Third Miss Si, so how could she be discovered by that girl?
She still didn't believe it, so she pretended to be casual and asked, "Miss Si San, does your niece not like tea?"
Hearing this, Si Mei looked at Yan Mo, and found that the tea in the cup was indeed untouched.
"Don't you like tea?" Si Mei asked lightly, putting down the teacup.
"Hmm?" Yan Mo looked at the tea in the cup blankly. She didn't dislike drinking tea!
It's just that she and Ning Xin had eaten too much just now, and she was still full now. If she drank some tea, she would be even fuller. She estimated that she would need to go to the bathroom in a short while. The most important thing was that she had a bad stomach and was afraid of having diarrhea, so she always pretended to go.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Yan Mo thought for a moment and decided to pick up the cup and drink the tea.
Under the expectant gazes of the woman and Madam Shu, Yan Mo lifted the teacup to his lips and was about to drink it...
"Stop drinking." Si Mei stopped him.
The woman looked at Si Mei in shock, her palms full of sweat. She didn't understand why Si Mei stopped her.
Si Mei didn't care and said, "The tea is cold, don't drink it, it will make you upset."
"Okay." Yan Mo responded.
But before she could put down the cup, the tea artist sitting in front of the tea table stood up at the woman's signal, holding a steaming cup of tea in his hand and walked towards Yan Mo.
"Miss, please have some tea." She placed the cup of tea in front of Yan Mo and said softly.
As a woman, Yan Mo couldn't refuse that voice. She quickly handed the completely cold tea in her hand to the tea artist:
"Thank you, sorry for the trouble."
Seeing Yan Mo refill his cup, the woman smiled and raised her cup again, urging him, "Everyone, have some tea. Miss Momo, have some tea too."
"Okay." After being called, it was impossible to keep pretending, so Yan Mo could only pick up the steaming hot tea.
