Chapter 142 No One Else
Mother Zhong has no feelings for her brother-in-law.
Shortly after her sister died of childbirth complications, he married his first love, Jin Lan, and brought them home with a daughter who was two years older than Meng Shanshan.
Only then did she find out that Meng Hong had already had a child with his first love before marriage, and she had been raising Meng Shanshan since then. Meng Hong also had a son five years ago.
Over the years, thanks to the blood relationship between Meng Shanshan and him, the Meng family has received a lot of help from the Zhong family, and is considered one of the most wealthy families in the imperial capital.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Meng Hong's face froze: "Sister, it's not that I'm cruel, but I think Shanshan is only sixteen years old and has just started college, and you kicked her out. It will definitely have an impact on the child's physical and mental health."
This face is disgusting.
Mother Zhong once again felt how cruel it was to be a biological parent but not love her own child!
"Jinmo has been found. It's not like I didn't give Shanshan a chance. Now Shanshan must leave. You are her legal guardian." She said firmly.
Meng Hong understood.
Isn’t it just that there is a conflict between the biological daughter and the adopted daughter, so you don’t want the adopted daughter?
But if Meng Shanshan returns to the Meng family, won’t he never be able to get projects from Zhongsheng Group again?
"Sister, what you mean is to throw Shanshan back after you've used her. You took the child away from birth and discarded her when you don't need her anymore. I wonder how sad Shanshan's poor mother would be if she knew about this..."
Mother Zhong couldn't help but clench her hands. She did miss her sister in her heart, but when she thought of Jinmo, she couldn't continue to make the same mistake.
"Shanshan must return to the Meng family!"
Mother Zhong became irritated and didn't want to listen to him anymore. She packed her things and went to the lobby to prepare to leave the hospital.
Meng Hong was so angry that he punched the wall.
At this time, a delicate voice was heard.
"Brother Hong."
He looked up and hurried forward to help.
The person who was speaking was Jin Lan, who was wearing a slim-fitting cheongsam. Her belly was slightly loose, showing her pregnancy.
At forty years old she doesn't look old at all. Instead, she looks like a young woman in her thirties, full of charm.
"Alan, why did you come out by yourself without waiting for me to help you?" The man's voice was a little reproachful, but full of doting.
"I'm fine. The doctor said the baby is healthy. I saw you and Sister Zhong were chatting, so I didn't come over to disturb you." Jin Lan said in a gentle voice.
At this point, Meng Hong sighed: "Alan, I am incompetent. I am afraid that you and the children will be wronged."
Jin Lan's body stiffened: "Are you talking about Shanshan's return home?"
The man nodded, looking apologetic. He had originally wanted to give his wife a complete home where she would not be disturbed by anyone. The family of four had been living a happy life, but now it was going to be broken by Shanshan!
Jin Lan's eyes flashed with disgust, but she immediately regained her gentle expression: "Brother Hong, it's a good thing that Shanshan is back. Our Qingqing is also studying at the Imperial University. They are freshmen in the same class, so they can definitely be good friends."
After a pause, she continued, "Besides, Shanshan is your daughter after all. If you refuse, it will inevitably make outsiders think that we are heartless. I don't want you to bear such a stigma because of me."
Meng Hong was deeply moved. He hugged his beloved wife tightly and made a plan in his mind.

Time flies, the military training is over and the review ceremony is about to begin.
During this period of time, without the disturbance of Ye Shuran and Meng Shanshan, life was much more comfortable.
Ye Jinmo and his group arrived at the playground early and lined up.
There was still some time before the ceremony started and people were whispering nearby.
"Have you heard? Ji Sichen will be here today too!"
"I know him, but aren't outsiders allowed to attend the military parade?"
“Two days ago, he donated two buildings to the school.”
Everyone was silent.
Tan Qinghuan tugged at Ye Jinmo's sleeve, winked at her, and mouthed: How romantic!
Of course she understood what was going on.
It’s just that Mr. Ji doesn’t want to miss someone’s highlight moment!
Ye Jinmo glared at her in reproach, her ears turned slightly red and her heart beat like thunder.
She looked up and glanced at the podium, noticing that the man was looking at her.
The people in the back row exclaimed quietly.
"Oh my god, is he looking in our direction?"
"Quick, quick, who has a cell phone? Take this photo!"
"Are you done filming? The instructor is coming over!"
There was another round of confusion.
The music started and the teams from each department began to be reviewed.
Passing by the rostrum, I saw Ji Sichen holding up his cell phone, seemingly recording a video.
She is in the first row and is the vanguard.
Following the instructor's instructions, she tightened her face and completed the movements with everyone else.
It was a sunny day, and the sunlight shone on her cheek, creating a halo.
The man on the podium stared at her little face with burning eyes.
The entire team walked to the rostrum, where sat the principal and school investors, including Ji Sichen.
As the instructor shouted: "Medical Department Parade, please review it!"
All the students turned their heads to look towards the podium.
Her eyes happened to meet Ji Sichen's.
The man was smiling at her and gave her a thumbs up with his hand on the table without saying a word.
Her heart was beating fast and her pink lips curled up.
As the vanguard, her movements were standard and skillful.
"March in step!"
As the slogan sounded, everyone turned around, looked forward, and walked away from the rostrum in neat steps.
The review ceremony ended with the principal’s speech.
"...I declare that the military training for the 2024 freshmen of Imperial University has been successfully completed!"
There was thunderous applause from the audience.
"Today we are also very lucky to have invited the well-known alumnus Ji Sichen. In order to encourage everyone to make continuous progress in their future studies, he brought small gifts to everyone today. They have been distributed to the heads of various departments, and everyone lined up in an orderly manner to receive them."
The audience cheered and left in an orderly manner to receive small gifts.
Tan Qinghuan pulled Ye Jinmo.
"Jinmo, President Ji is so generous! Do you think he wanted to give you a gift?"
The next second, Ye Jinmo covered her mouth.
Tan Qinghuan nodded to show that she understood.
The gift was very thoughtful, a bouquet of gladiolus, a high-end gym membership, and a small cake.
Secretary Li was there too. When he saw her coming over, he smiled and handed her something that he had specially prepared.
Everything else is the same, except for the flower, which is a combination of gladiolus and wind chimes.
Tan Qinghuan raised his eyebrows, quietly pulled her over, and whispered: "Feng Ling's words are to love only one person in your life! Tsk tsk!"
Seeing her friend scolding her, she patted Ye Jinmo on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone! Our classmate Jinmo has high aspirations and currently just wants to study hard!"
The two of them walked towards the dormitory laughing.
Suddenly, Ye Jinmo heard a familiar voice behind her.
"Jinmo..."
The two turned around and saw Zhong's mother and Zhong Beichi standing not far away.
Zhong's mother was holding a big bouquet of flowers, Zhong Beichi was holding a bunch of gift boxes, and there were two bodyguards following behind, also holding a bunch of things in their hands.
"Jinmo, Mom came here today to celebrate the end of your military training... Can we have lunch together at noon today?"
Ye Jinmo stopped smiling and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Will Meng Shanshan be there to celebrate the end of military training?
Mother Zhong clenched the bouquet tightly, as if she saw her worry, and quickly assured her: "Mom just wants to invite you and your good friends to dinner, no one else!"
