Chapter 126 Sorry, my hand slipped
"Be obedient?"
"Are you testing my obedience?"
Meng Zhiyi sneered: "Mother, I am not a child anymore. I am an adult."
"I have independent thoughts and personality."
"Since you can't protect my daughter, I have to protect myself when necessary."
"Otherwise, what if everyone comes to bully me?"
Mother Meng bit her lip and realized for the first time how difficult it was to communicate seriously with her daughter.
She even felt that Meng Zhiyi was sometimes too sincere.
"Okay, I can't argue with you." Meng's mother was a little disappointed. She thought she could teach Meng Zhiyi slowly.
Even if we don't push her as hard as before, we can still slowly make her an excellent child.
But now it seems that she was too naive.
"Mom will give you some money, go buy it yourself. I'm tired, I'm going home to rest first."
After saying this, Meng's mother took out a card from her bag and gave it to Meng Zhiyi.
"Okay." Meng Zhiyi took the bank card with a smile.
Her life motto is to never make things difficult for money, no matter who you are.
When Meng's mother returned home, the father and son in the living room were puzzled to see her coming back alone.
"Mom, where's Zhiyi?" Meng Tinglan asked doubtfully.
Mother Meng put her bag on the sofa and said in a bad mood: "I let her go shopping by herself."
Hearing this, the father and son looked at each other and immediately realized something was wrong.
"Did something happen?" asked Father Meng.
Mother Meng looked embarrassed and after a moment's hesitation she told him everything that had happened in the mall.
After hearing this, the father and his son fell silent.
"I just want to protect the reputation of the Yuan family and prevent her from speaking those things out in public."
"But she said I didn't protect her, so she had to protect herself."
"Please judge for yourself. I am considering the overall situation. What's wrong with that?"
"I told her not to take it too seriously and not to bother with people who have no moral integrity. What's wrong with that?"
Meng's mother felt wronged. As an elder, she just wanted to teach her children well, but why was it so difficult?
Meng Zhizhou and Meng Tinglan looked at each other secretly, feeling helpless.
They had been instilled with such ideas since childhood, so that for a long time, the Meng brothers were seen as weak and incompetent by others.
It’s because whenever they encounter problems, they will follow their mother’s teachings and choose to “suffer in silence”.
But later they found that they needed to fight for many things on their own.
For example, respect.
You won't be respected if you're a nice person; doing so will only make people look down on you.
But as children, after they awakened themselves, they did not deny as bluntly as Meng Zhiyi did the education their mother had given them since childhood.
So at this moment, they could only choose to remain silent and throw the problem to Father Meng.
Father Meng frowned, and there was indeed a hint of disapproval in his expression.
"Huiying, if it was you, and someone used words to bully you in front of your parents, and your parents didn't defend you, but instead asked you to be more generous and not to bother with others, what would you do?"
Meng's mother was stunned for a few seconds, and then a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes.
Finally, she insisted on her philosophy and replied: "Isn't it right to consider the overall situation? This way, not only can the family's reputation be preserved, but it also does not lower one's status and talk nonsense to uneducated people."
“…”
After hearing her answer, the father and his son were all speechless.
There's no hope.
Father Meng sighed silently, shook his head and said, "I hope you don't encounter this, and I hope you don't experience it."
The two were a young couple, and Father Meng knew clearly that his wife was imprisoned by the Yuan family's inherent mindset.
Meng's mother didn't understand, but she didn't say anything else.
On the other hand, Meng Zhiyi was happily shopping in the mall with the bank card given by her mother.
"Hey, look who this is. It turns out to be the poor little one who was left behind."
"He is indeed a wild child. His father doesn't love him, and his mother doesn't care about him. He is so pitiful."
A swishing sound came from the front.
Meng Zhiyi, who was holding a skirt and gesturing at it, turned her head and saw Li Ping and her daughter standing not far away.
"What are you looking at, a wild child that no one wants." The teenage girl standing next to Li Ping is her and Yuan Bolin's daughter, named Yuan Xiaoxiao.
Yuan Xiaoxiao is only fourteen years old this year. She is obviously still a junior high school student, but she dresses very maturely.
Meng Zhiyi was unmoved by her words, but looked him up and down with a look of disdain.
As if sensing the disdain in Meng Zhiyi's eyes, Yuan Xiaoxiao's smile froze, and then she said angrily, "What's that look in your eyes?"
Meng Zhiyi: "You're disgusted, can't you see it?"
Li Ping's face turned black: "What qualifications do you have to dislike my daughter?"
Meng Zhi smiled maliciously and said venomously, "What kind of good family would dress up an underage child like this? What, are you planning to let her take over your job?"
"That's right. You have to resort to all means to marry into a wealthy family. Unlike me, I easily got the title of Young Lady of the Shen Family."
When Li Ping heard Meng Zhiyi mention the bed-climbing incident again, she rushed forward with a sly expression, "You little bastard, how noble do you think you are? You've been wandering around for so many years, you must be a nobody!"
"Want to learn from your high-and-mighty mother? She only has the identity of a young lady from the Yuan family. Without that identity, she is not even as good as me."
Li Ping hated Meng's mother because she looked down on her and always felt that she was not worthy of entering the Yuan family.
Therefore, Li Ping also hated Meng's mother and her children.
However, Li Ping did not dare to provoke the other four sons, so she could only choose Meng Zhiyi who seemed a little easier to bully.
Meng Zhiyi looked indifferent. After listening to Li Ping's scolding, he raised his hand and slapped her.
Li Ping didn't expect that she would dare to attack her. She covered her face and stared at her in disbelief.
Meng Zhiyi flexed her slender fingers, admired her nails, and said, "Now you should know that I am different from my mother, right?"
Li Ping: “?”
Meng Zhiyi smiled coldly: "My mother claims to be noble and never bothers with people like you, but I am not like that. What you said just now made me very unhappy, so my hand slipped just now. Sorry."
"You dare to hit my mother?!" Yuan Xiaoxiao reacted, rushed up angrily, and reached out to grab Meng Zhiyi.
She grabbed Yuan Xiaoxiao's hand, her eyes cold: "Why, do you want to be beaten too?"
Yuan Xiaoxiao was not frightened by her words. Instead, she struggled fiercely, waving her hands to tear Meng Zhiyi apart and gave her a wave of Nine Yin White Bone Claws.
Meng Zhiyi lost her patience and threw her towards Li Ping.
I don't want to argue with a minor.
As a result, Li Ping lost her balance and both mother and daughter fell to the ground.
"Ouch...my waist." Li Ping wailed, holding her waist.
Meng Zhiyi clapped his hands and watched coldly as the mother and daughter fought and knocked over all the clothes hangers in the store.
When the staff rushed over, they saw all the clothes had fallen to the ground.
"Customer, the clothes are dirty and cannot be sold. You are responsible." The staff stood in front of Li Ping and said sternly.
This is not an ordinary clothing store. Every piece of clothing here costs five figures.
Although Li Ping's marriage to Yuan Bolin was already a high-class marriage, the Yuan family was not as financially capable as the Meng family, and she did not have the money to buy these clothes!
Li Ping was helped up by Yuan Xiaoxiao and pointed at Meng Zhiyi fiercely: "Go find her, she was the one who did it!"
Meng Zhiyi, however, looked innocent: "Sister, I suggest you check the surveillance video. I was just choosing clothes here and they came to trouble me for no apparent reason."
"I just pushed it in self-defense. The main responsibility lies with them."
Li Ping: "Stop talking nonsense, we don't have that!"
Meng Zhiyi: "Why don't we call the police and let them judge?"
"We can't call the police!" Li Ping said urgently.
If we call the police, this matter will be brought to the attention of the old man!
Meng Zhiyi's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of wickedness in his smile.
"No, I can't prove my innocence if I don't call the police." After saying that, she directly dialed the police number.
Doesn’t the Yuan family care most about reputation? Then she must give them a big gift.
By then, Meng's mother might get angry again because of this matter.
Meng Zhiyi thought about it, and the smile on his face widened.
