Chapter 16 I shut myself off
Shen Que glanced at Meng Zhiyi, who had become somewhat withdrawn, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
He sent the screenshot to himself, and then did not forget to completely delete the pictures on Song Wei's phone.
After doing all this, Shen Que put his phone on the table and said calmly, "I will deal with this matter in the future. Don't worry grandma anymore."
Anyone could tell that Shen Que was warning Song Wei.
Only Meng Zhiyi.
She looked at Shen Que with some regret and gritted her teeth secretly.
[What the hell are you doing? Can you just follow the script? ]
[Damn, I'm not going to kill him based on the script, am I?! ]
Meng Zhiyi was actually a little unhappy.
The misunderstanding was resolved, which also meant that her mission progress was 0.
However, she felt it would be a shame if she didn't do something with such a good opportunity.
Meng Zhiyi looked at her mother, and before anyone could react, she slammed the spoon in her hand onto the table.
The porcelain white spoon broke into two pieces in an instant, giving everyone a fright.
“Yiyi, you…”
Old Madam Shen was also frightened and looked at her with some concern.
Meng Zhiyi suddenly stood up, looked at her mother sitting opposite her, squeezed out a tear, and complained: "Are you happy now? You embarrassed me in front of Brother Shen Que and stepped on my face. Are you satisfied?"
"I know that since I came back to this house, none of you are willing to accept me. You think I am a country girl and unworthy of the status of the daughter of the Meng family. You feel ashamed of my existence."
"If that's the case, why did you look for me in the first place? Why didn't you just assume I was dead?"
After finishing the accusation, Meng Zhiyi did not give Meng's mother any chance to react, and turned to Song Wei and fired again: "And you, you just want to deliberately ruin my marriage with Shen Que, and then take the position yourself."
"How does it feel when a plan fails? Doesn't it feel particularly frustrating when you don't achieve your goal?"
Meng Zhi looked at her smugly, not caring at all about Old Madam Shen who was present.
After she had finished her output, she waited to recover some progress on the mission.
[If you are still indifferent to this, do you really want me to find a male mistress? ]
[But even if I do find one, I have to find someone better looking than Shen Que, right? Otherwise, I will be the one who suffers! ]
Shen Que felt a little headache. He glanced at Meng's mother who was stunned, and her grandmother who was looking at her with a distressed expression. In order to prevent Meng Zhiyi from causing trouble again, he could only stand up and pull her away.
"Where are you taking me?" Meng Zhi wanted to shake off, but found that Shen Que was holding her tightly.
He didn't answer, but took Meng Zhiyi all the way to the restaurant in the back garden.
"Are you not hungry?"
Shen Que had just let go and asked before Meng Zhi could get angry.
Meng Zhiyi turned around and stopped, and her stomach growled at the right moment.
"If you don't want to see your mother, don't go out. After dinner, you still have to go find your eldest brother." Shen Que sat down and poured her a glass of coconut milk while speaking.
Meng Zhiyi stood there thinking for a few seconds, then sat down opposite Shen Que.
She looked at the man in front of her, whose temperament was reserved and whose every move was elegant and noble.
"How do you know the person in the photo is my eldest brother?"
"Is it difficult to know this?" Shen Que did not answer, but asked back.
Meng Zhiyi curled her lips, thinking of Shen Que's identity and background, it would not be difficult to find out something through certain means.
"It's not fun at all." Meng Zhiyi muttered.
"Why don't you explain?" Shen Que looked straight at Meng Zhiyi and asked.
Meng Zhiyi: "Why don't you explain?"
Shen Que fell silent. From what he had heard during this period, he could only be sure that the girl in front of him had changed her mind and was carrying out some mission.
Thinking about it this way, not only the Meng family, but even he, were just mission targets in Meng Zhiyi's mind.
So it's normal for her not to explain in the face of everyone's misunderstanding.
Thinking of this, Shen Que suddenly felt that his previous question was a bit redundant.
He shook his head: "Nothing."
Meng Zhi rolled her eyes slightly.
[It looks like another day of no progress, nothing! ]
*
After Shen Que took Meng Zhiyi away, only Old Madam Shen, Song Wei and Meng's mother were left in the living room.
No one had expected what had just happened.
Old Madam Shen stared at the broken spoon that Meng Zhiyi smashed. After a moment, she said in a deep voice, "Mrs. Meng, Yiyi is the granddaughter-in-law that I have chosen. From now on, I don't want to hear the word "broken engagement" again. Unless she tells me in person that she doesn't like Xiao Que and doesn't want to be the granddaughter-in-law of the Shen family."
"As for you, or the Meng family, if you don't like Yiyi, then I'll make it clear that the Shen family can afford her. If the Meng family doesn't want her, the Shen family will."
"Old lady, I may be a little rude in saying this, but please forgive me, Mrs. Meng. Yiyi suffered enough when she was little, and I don't want her to suffer any more. If you don't like her, just let her live with me."
Every word that Old Lady Shen said was filled with love for Meng Zhiyi.
If Meng Zhiyi had not done a DNA test, her mother would have suspected that she was a child of the Shen family who had been abandoned.
Including Song Wei, she couldn't figure out why Mrs. Shen liked Meng Zhiyi no matter how hard she tried.
But this did not prevent her from having a sense of crisis: "Grandma, Meng Zhiyi and Shen Que haven't gotten married yet, isn't it against the rules for them to move in?"
Old Madam Shen glanced at Song Wei coldly: "What's wrong with that? Even if you are not a member of the Shen family, don't you still live in the Shen family?"
As soon as these words came out, Song Wei's face turned pale.
She bit her lips tightly, clenched the corners of her clothes with her hands hanging at her sides, and couldn't utter a word.
Old Madam Shen did not stop, but said meaningfully: "If you were smart, you should live a good life as the orphan of a hero instead of having any crooked ideas."
This was the first time that Old Madam Shen had said such harsh words in the more than ten years that Song Wei had been in the Shen family.
Although from the very beginning, Old Madam Shen didn't like this hypocritical child, but considering that her parents had passed away and she was alone and helpless, she turned a blind eye to her son and daughter-in-law's decision to let her live in their home.
However, this does not mean that she can be tolerated to interfere in the Shen family's affairs and bully the granddaughter-in-law she chose.
After all, she is the one who supports the entire Shen family, so how could she not see Song Wei's little thoughts?
Song Wei's face was pale, her thin body was swaying as if she was about to fall, and her lips were bitten purple.
After a long while, she managed to squeeze out three words with great difficulty, and then walked out of the living room like a lost soul.
After watching Song Wei leave, Meng's mother suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Mrs. Meng, you should go back too. I don't think Yiyi will go back with you today, so I'll keep her for a home-cooked meal."
Meng's mother hesitated for a moment, but when she remembered what Meng Zhiyi had just accused her of, she finally gave up.
She stood up and bowed slightly, saying in a humble tone: "Then I won't bother you anymore. I'm sorry for offending you today. Please don't be angry, old lady."
Madam Shen waved her hands: "I'm not the one you should apologize to."
Meng Mu was suddenly in a dilemma.
Seeing this, Old Madam Shen said earnestly, "If you are wrong, you are wrong. Don't be ashamed to admit it because of your status. Yiyi has been wandering outside since she was a child, and her relationship with you is not close. If you want to create a barrier between you because of these things, you will regret it sooner or later."
