Chapter 4 If you want to humiliate me, just say it
In the huge living room, no one dared to make a sound.
Mother Zhong noticed the old man's serious expression, her heart tightened, and she took the initiative to stand up:
"It was my fault for not arranging it properly," she said, gently and carefully pulling Ye Jinmo's hand, her voice tense and apologetic, "Jinmo, it's Mom's fault. We have a lot of rooms. I'll pick another one for you."
As the eldest grandson of the Zhong family, Zhong Shaoqing was not timid in front of his elders. "Mom, this arrangement is indeed inappropriate. Jinmo is the eldest daughter of our Zhong family. If this gets out, how will outsiders view our Zhong family?"
Mrs. Zhong's face turned red after hearing what her son said. It's not that she was irrational, but she just heard Meng Shanshan say that the dressing room had good lighting and was suitable for girls to live in, so she didn't think too much about it.
Master Zhong glanced at everyone and saw Meng Shanshan's pale face and trembling shoulders. He paused, then looked forward and his tone returned to his usual dignified tone: "Shao Qing is right. The daughter of our Zhong family cannot be wronged because of the house."
This one sentence made Meng Shanshan's pale face turn green and blue.
Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Master Zhong announced again: "Let Jinmo live in the south room on the third floor. Shaoqing, come down and see what decoration style Jinmo likes and rearrange it."
"Okay, grandpa." Zhong Shaoqing smiled.
The atmosphere did not become relaxed, but instead it was filled with an eerie quietness.
Ye Jinmo glanced at the expressions of the crowd and felt confused.
It was just a bedroom, why did their expressions look...incredibly shocked?
After the simple meeting was over, she followed her eldest brother up to the third floor. The moment she opened the door, she was stunned.
I’m afraid the decoration of the entire house of the Ye family cannot match the decoration of this one bedroom!
The intricate and gorgeous European carvings become warm with the embellishment of flowers on the counter.
"Momo, this is the room that grandma lived in when she was alive. It faces south and has the best lighting and decoration. No one has lived here for more than ten years, but someone cleans it every day. If you see anything missing, tell your eldest brother."
She stared at the room in front of her, her heart wrapped in warmth.
She had been living in the attic of the Ye family before and was used to being alienated. Now that she was being treated so attentively, her eyes were misty.
She raised her head, her wet eyelashes trembling slightly, and smiled at Zhong Shaoqing. The thousands of words in her heart merged into a hoarse sentence:
"Thank you, brother and grandpa."
Zhong Shaoqing lowered his head and met her red eyes. His heart softened. He raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, put his arm around her shoulders, gently stroked her hair, and said, "You don't have to thank me, big brother."
A warm current surged in Ye Jinmo's heart. She pursed her lips lightly, her watery almond eyes clear and pure. She looked at her elder brother with all her heart and eyes, without a trace of complexity.
Zhong Shaoqing took her into the bedroom, and the servant behind them brought the suitcase.
After thanking the servant, she opened the paint-chipped lock and was about to hang up the few clothes she had brought with her when her hand was held down.
"Is this what you wear at Ye's house?"
He frowned as he looked at the clothes that were not even as good as those sold at street stalls, and felt distressed.
How badly did his sister live in the Ye family?
He took out his cell phone and transferred 100,000 yuan to her: "We have a family rule in the Zhong family that minors cannot be too extravagant, and their monthly pocket money cannot exceed 100,000 yuan. Go buy some new clothes first, and I'll find someone to make them for you later."
Ye Jinmo was a little overwhelmed. It was the first time she received so much money, and the clothes in the box only added up to three hundred yuan.
"Brother, no need, I can wear these..."
"Sister, just accept it!"
At this time, a sweet female voice appeared.
She looked up and saw it was Meng Shanshan.
Meng Shanshan looked around calmly and felt jealous.
She has been in the Zhong family for so many years, and she has only heard that this room is very important and no one is qualified to live in it.
As a result, on the first day Ye Jinmo moved in, the old man let her move in.
So hateful!
She quickly concealed the emotions on her face and continued with a smile: "This is a token of my brother's love."
Facing Mr. Zhong's most trusted eldest grandson, she had to be as friendly as possible.
"Shanshan is right," Zhong Shaoqing continued with a smile, "Just keep what my brother gave you."
Meng Shanshan stepped into the door, took a few steps forward, took Ye Jinmo's arm intimately, and said in a tender voice:
"I heard from my aunt that you are a few months older than me, so I just call you sister! Sister Jinmo, you take the money from big brother, let's go shopping for clothes together!"
Ye Jinmo felt uncomfortable being hugged like this suddenly, but when she looked at Zhong Shaoqing's expression, she suppressed her emotions and nodded.
The largest shopping mall in the imperial capital.
Meng Shanshan glanced at her slightly surprised expression, then looked at the cheap clothes she was wearing, and felt a sense of superiority.
Tsk, she probably has never been to such a high-end shopping mall?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but raise her neck: "Brother often brings me here to go shopping, let's go to the second floor and take a look!"
Ye Jinmo nodded silently. She was not surprised by how luxurious the shopping mall in front of her was, but her fingers accidentally rested on Meng Shanshan's wrist.
It’s really strange, how could a 16-year-old girl have liver qi stagnation?
Today in the living room, she could clearly feel that Mother Zhong had deep feelings for Meng Shanshan. With such loving relatives, such a good living environment, and not having to go out to work to earn a living, what was there to be unhappy about?
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Meng Shanshan's eyes became even more proud. She just thought that Ye Jinmo was shocked by such a luxurious shopping mall, and patted her hand soothingly.
"This mall is nothing special. Although our family doesn't have much pocket money, my elder and second brothers often transfer money to me. If you don't have enough money today, I'm still here..."
Before she could finish, Ye Jinmo suddenly turned around and looked at her intently.
"You have some liver qi stagnation. You need to stay in a good mood so that you can get better quickly. You are still so young. If you don't treat it soon, you will develop nodules and cysts."
Meng Shanshan was stunned at first, then shook her hand away with force, and her neck instantly turned red with anger.
Is this an obvious accusation that she is jealous? And cursed her to get sick!
She put away the smile on her face and said angrily: "I am in good health, sister, if you want to humiliate me, just say it directly, don't curse me!"
After saying that, he walked forward with the clatter of his leather shoes.
Ye Jinmo shrugged.
If you don’t want to listen, just forget it. Don’t force it.
Then, he followed Meng Shanshan into a clothing store.
When the shopping guide saw the two of them come in, he hurried forward to greet them.
"Ms. Shanshan, please come in!"
Meng Shanshan pointed behind her and said contemptuously, "Pick out some clothes for her."
The shopping guide was a shrewd man. He glanced at Ye Jinmo and saw her T-shirt and jeans that were deformed after washing, and chuckled.
"Ms. Shanshan, you are so kind. Are you going to buy clothes for rural girls who have dropped out of school?"
