Chapter 15: Cancel the Engagement

Meng's mother's sudden appearance surprised both Meng Zhiyi and Shen Que.

However, Old Madam Shen looked at Song Wei meaningfully, then restrained her smile and reached out to pull Meng Zhiyi behind her to protect her.

"Mrs. Meng, even if you want to discipline your child, you have to know the situation."

Old Madam Shen's attitude towards Meng's mother was completely different from when she was facing Meng Zhiyi a second ago.

"That's right, you made me kneel down as soon as you opened your mouth. Wake up, the Qing Dynasty is gone, okay?"

[If you want me to kneel, you have to be able to bear it. ]

[You really think you are the queen! ]

Meng Zhiyi naturally would not give up such a good opportunity to attract hatred. She hid behind Old Madam Shen and stuck her head out to speak.

Shen Que pinched his eyebrows, really wanting Meng Zhiyi to calm down.

"You're still talking back!" Mother Meng was at her angrier point at this moment.

It was because she received a text message from a stranger, the content of which was a photo of Meng Zhiyi and a strange man in the hospital, as well as the copywriting written by unscrupulous media on the Internet.

The photo was processed, as if they didn't want to offend the unknown man, so they blurred him. Only Meng Zhiyi's photo was clear, as if it was a high-definition face shot.

The Meng family was not as powerful as the Shen family. When Meng Zhiyi and Shen Que were engaged, everyone in the Meng family knew that they were marrying above their station.

Now Meng Zhiyi has already ruined the reputation of herself and the Meng family. Meng's mother has been carefully protecting her, fearing that she would offend the Shen family and be implicated.

Upon learning that Meng Zhiyi had caused such a big disaster, Meng's mother could no longer sit still and went directly to the Shen family to ask for compensation.

That's why he was so furious and scolded Meng Zhiyi as soon as he saw her.

In the past, no matter how unreasonable Meng Zhiyi was, he would more or less restrain himself when facing her, an elder.

But now, not only did she not admit her mistake, she also said some sarcastic words to refute it.

Mother Meng glared at Meng Zhiyi angrily and thought that she would teach her a lesson when she returned home.

Then he softened his attitude and spoke politely to Old Madam Shen.

"Madam Shen, it's because I, as a mother, didn't teach my daughter well that she did such a shameful thing."

"Don't worry, the Meng family is not the kind of family that doesn't know shame. Meng Zhiyi has done so many absurd things, and now we really don't have the face to rely on the Shen family anymore."

"The old lady should cancel the engagement between the Meng family and the Shen family. Xiao Que is a very good child and he deserves better."

After Meng's mother finished speaking, she stepped forward and stretched out her hand, ready to pull Meng Zhiyi.

Who would have thought that not only did Old Madam Shen not show any sign of being angry, she even pushed Meng Mu's hand back.

She said with a cold face and full of displeasure: "When you came, you talked a lot on your own, and never asked Yiyi what was going on from beginning to end. Is this how Mrs. Meng acts as a mother?"

Mother Meng was speechless when asked, and her eyes kept moving back and forth between Meng Zhiyi and Old Madam Shen.

She opened her mouth and stammered, "Doesn't the old lady know what she did?"

"Then tell me, what did Yiyi do to make your mother come here and make her kneel down without any reason."

As Old Madam Shen spoke, she held Meng Zhiyi's hand tightly.

"Don't be afraid, Yiyi. Grandma is here today and she will take care of the decision for you."

Madam Shen's voice was so firm, as if it was a heavy blow to her heart.

Meng Zhiyi was a little stunned. Looking at the hand holding her, a warm feeling emerged from the bottom of her heart.

It seems that no one, either in the past or now, has ever chosen himself as firmly as this old man.

At this moment, in Meng Zhiyi's heart, Mrs. Shen was more like a family member than Meng's mother, who was related to her by blood.

Shen Que stood aside, thinking he could hear something from Meng Zhiyi's thoughts.

But strangely, Meng Zhiyi became very quiet.

She obediently let Old Madam Shen lead her to the living room, where everyone sat down one after another.

"Tell me what's going on." Old Madam Shen asked Meng Zhiyi to sit next to her. There was a bowl of ice glutinous rice balls on the table in front of them.

Old Madam Shen let Meng Zhiyi eat as if no one was around, and the smile in her eyes was filled with undisguised love.

Song Wei looked a little jealous.

She had been fostered in the Shen family for more than ten years and had never been treated like this by Old Madam Shen.

"Grandma, regarding Sister Zhiyi's matter..." Song Wei stopped talking halfway and looked embarrassed.

She pretended to be worried and looked at Shen Que, who had said nothing from beginning to end, bit her lip and said, "Although I believe that sister Zhiyi is not that kind of person, the impact of this incident on the Shen family is still not small."

"Just say whatever you want to say. Don't beat around the bush." ​​Old Madam Shen was a little impatient.

Meng Zhiyi was enjoying her iced glutinous rice balls happily, looking at them with round eyes, as if she had nothing to do with this.

[That’s right, why not just tell her that I’m pregnant with a man who doesn’t know me, and then show up at the hospital late at night to get an abortion?]

[I am really impressed. The media has already written the copy for you, why can't you use it properly? ]

Among those present, Shen Que and Meng's mother, who could hear Meng Zhiyi's thoughts, were almost stunned.

Mother Meng could not sit still and stared at Meng Zhiyi with her eyes fixed.

[Well, whether we can successfully complete the task this time depends on Song Wei's support. ]

[You have to keep up the good work. I have sacrificed my reputation to play this role with you. Please don't let me down.]

[Otherwise, once it is discovered that the person in the photo is my eldest brother, all my efforts will be in vain! ]

"Sister Zhiyi was photographed with a man in the hospital last night. The internet said...she went there to get an abortion."

The two voices fell at the same time, and Meng's mother suddenly took a deep breath.

"Cough, cough, cough..." She started coughing uncontrollably.

Shen Que quickly signaled the servant beside him to pour her some water and handed her a tissue politely: "Aunt Meng, don't get excited."

Meng's mother coughed for a while, slowed down her breathing, and looked at Meng Zhiyi in disbelief.

Is the man in the photo the eldest brother of their family?

At this time, Meng's mother simply ignored what Song Wei continued to say.

She quickly took out her cell phone and opened the photo sent by the stranger, carefully examining the manipulated portrait over and over again.

On the other side, Old Madam Shen listened to what Song Wei said with an expressionless face and did not react at all.

Seeing that no one responded, Song Wei vaguely felt that what she had just said sounded like a complaint, so she quickly took out her cell phone.

"This is the evidence I took a screenshot of this morning. Grandma, you can take a look."

After saying that, she handed the phone over.

Old Madam Shen took the phone and squinted at the photo.

Meng Zhiyi peeked sideways, and just when she was waiting for Old Madam Shen to get mad, she heard her say, "Who took the photo? The technique is not good, and Yiyi is too short in the photo."

"???"

Meng Zhiyi was dumbfounded.

[No, old lady, you got the point wrong, didn't you? ]

Meng Mu and Shen Que remained silent.

Only Song Wei was a little crazy.

Why did things develop differently from what she expected?

"Xiao Que, remember the person who posted on Weibo, and those who followed suit and spread rumors, and sue them one by one." After saying that, Madam Shen handed the phone to Shen Que.

"Ah?" Meng Zhiyi was confused.

[Help! What kind of magic potion did the original owner feed Old Madam Shen?! How can you trust her unconditionally?!]

[No, I can't miss such a good opportunity! ]

[giao! It's true that no one can be trusted. In the end, I still have to do it myself! ]

"Ahem, um, I..." Meng Zhiyi cleared her throat and put down the glass bowl in her hand. Before she could put down the spoon, she was interrupted by Shen Que.

"The person in the photo is Brother Meng. This matter also concerns the reputation of the Meng family. Do I need to tell him?" Shen Que interrupted Meng Zhiyi and asked.

Mother Meng gritted her teeth and said, "Yes! Of course! I will! How dare they spread rumors? I will sue them and put them in jail!"

Meng Zhiyi looked up at the ceiling, speechless.

[I feel like dying...]

[How did Shen Que know that the person in the photo was my eldest brother!!!]
