Chapter 168 What does it mean to pull me into the room?
Shen Que felt the strength of Meng Zhiyi's struggle and tightened his grip without changing his expression.
Meng Zhiyi gritted his teeth, tilted his head, stared at Shen Que with a warning look, and mouthed: "Let me go!"
Shen Que pretended not to understand and gave her a blank expression.
[You little bastard, you shouldn't be playing dumb in front of me, right? ]
Shen Que raised his lips slightly, thinking that he didn't dare to listen to such a secret matter alone.
Just when Meng Zhiyi was secretly competing with him, Old Madam Shen had already explained everything to her.
The general meaning is that Madam Shen's flash marriage to Shen Chong was just a show for the elders.
And that Shen Chong was her step-brother in name only.
The current Shen family is actually Madam Shen's dowry. After the marriage, Shen Chong is nominally in charge, but the actual person in power is the old lady.
When the real Shen Chong teamed up with Madam Shen's stepmother to try to seize the family property, she found out and immediately killed him and found a replacement.
The real identity of this 'Shen Chong' was just someone the old lady picked up from the slums. She had him undergo plastic surgery and live as Shen Chong in order to avoid the control of his family.
The old lady tolerated his affair with his lover outside as long as it did not involve personal gain.
Who would have thought that when the illegitimate child was born, he actually wanted to take the child back to the Shen family to raise him.
This is something that Old Madam Shen would never allow no matter what.
He used his own identity to demand the child back, and if he didn't take the child back, he would expose himself as the fake Shen Chong.
It was this action that made Old Madam Shen want to kill him. Later, he was sent abroad to manage a branch company, and as luck would have it, he fell seriously ill while abroad.
He died not long after being brought back to the country by Old Madam Shen.
After listening to this, Meng Zhiyi was in a trance.
【Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? 】
[Although I know that the gossips in the rich families are very explosive, but this gossip is too exciting. ]
【Is this something I can listen to?】
Shen Que was also greatly shocked. Although he knew from childhood that his grandmother and grandfather had a bad relationship, he never expected such a story to happen.
After Old Lady Shen finished speaking, she didn't care whether Meng Zhiyi and Shen Que were frightened or not. Instead, she laughed and said, "The older generation has backward ideas, and the social atmosphere is mixed."
"You two, don't learn bad things."
Meng Zhiyi forced a smile: "Grandma, you really don't treat me as an outsider."
"Nonsense, how could you be an outsider? Even if I were to kick that brat out of the house, I would never kick you out." After saying this, Old Madam Shen reached out and tapped Meng Zhiyi's forehead.
"You are grandma's granddaughter."
At this time, Meng Zhiyi had not yet realized the true meaning of this sentence.
She just felt that Old Madam Shen liked her too much.
But Shen Que is not.
He has always been puzzled as to why his grandmother likes Meng Zhiyi.
Even though it was the soul that everyone hated before, she still made the marriage contract without hesitation.
But now, there is too much hidden information in what grandma said just now.
Afterwards, Mrs. Shen accompanied Meng Zhiyi to visit the entire Shen family home as agreed, and introduced every corner of the house to her.
Finally, he handed her a key.
"What is this?" Meng Zhiyi stared at the key in his hand, a little confused.
"At home, even though there's always someone at home, keys are not very useful. But this is your home, so you need a key to your home."
Hearing this, Meng Zhiyi felt a sudden pang of pain in his nose.
She had been back to the Meng family for so long and still didn't have the key. As a result, before she and Shen Que got married, Old Madam Shen had already given her the key.
As if she could see her emotional fluctuations, Old Madam Shen patted her head and said, "Grandma's words are always valid. The door of the Shen family will always be open to you. If you are wronged outside, or if Xiaoque bullies you, come back and tell grandma."
"Even though grandma is old, she still has the ability to make decisions for you in the capital."
Meng Zhiyi bit her lip and blinked her eyes rapidly, not wanting the mist to spread.
She walked forward and hugged Old Madam Shen, sniffed heavily, and said coquettishly, "It's great to have grandma."
Old Madam Shen patted her back gently and said lovingly, "Silly girl, grandma will always be yours."
So, in this life, grandma should be able to wait until you remember everything, right?
In the evening, the sun has already set.
Old Madam Shen was reluctant to let Meng Zhiyi go, so she called the Meng family herself and simply let her stay.
The room was located next to Shen Que's bedroom.
Meng Zhiyi took a shower, changed into pajamas, and went to the balcony to enjoy the fresh air, overlooking the entire Shen family's old house.
Just as her thoughts were wandering, the balcony door next door was pushed open.
Meng Zhiyi turned around and saw Shen Que walking out.
His hair was still a little wet, hanging obediently on his forehead, making him look more casual and friendly.
She blinked, feeling that the atmosphere was a little subtle.
"Didn't you blow-dry your hair?" Shen Que walked over and stopped at the balcony partition to stare at her.
Meng Zhiyi scratched her hair and muttered, "Blowing my hair is so tiring. I'm lazy."
As soon as she finished speaking, before she had time to say anything else, she saw Shen Que supporting himself on the wall with one hand and flipping over in a flash.
"???"
[Okay, okay, this wall is designed to be so low, so it’s convenient to climb over, right? ]
[Why do we need to live separately? We can just live together. ]
Shen Que landed on the ground, and after hearing her thoughts, he thought that it was not impossible.
But he didn't say anything, just walked over and took her hand and walked into the room.
Meng Zhiyi's eyelids twitched.
【What? 】
[You don’t even perform now? 】
【What does it mean to pull me to the room?】
Shen Que stopped and turned around to stare at Meng Zhiyi who was muttering to himself.
The next second, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he grabbed the back of her head and kissed her.
“Hmm…”
Meng Zhiyi was caught off guard and was held in the man's arms and kissed for a long time before being let go.
Shen Que stared at her flushed face for a while, then contentedly let her sit on the edge of the bed and took out a hair dryer from the cabinet.
"It's cold at night. You'll easily catch a cold if you don't blow your hair dry." Shen Que said as he gently blew her hair.
The comfortable warm breeze and the tingling sensation caused by fingers combing her hair made Meng Zhiyi unable to help but hum softly.
She sat quietly and enjoyed Shen Que's service.
After her hair was blown dry, Meng Zhiyi rubbed her sore eyes, turned her head to look at Shen Que, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong?" Shen Que looked at her tenderly.
Meng Zhiyi opened her mouth and hesitated for a few seconds before speaking: "Um... Grandma was hospitalized before, how is her health?"
[This is difficult. How should I tell Shen Que that there is always someone around grandma who drugs her? ]
[The novel doesn't mention who it is, and I can't find it myself. ]
[Grandma is so kind, I don’t want anything to happen to her.]
Shen Que smiled, walked over and sat beside her, and said, "Grandma has regular health checkups, and there's nothing wrong with her."
"However, the last time she fainted, it happened so suddenly that I was worried, so I took all of her medications and food for testing. We found some unclean things and caught the unclean people."
"real?"
[The male protagonist is the male protagonist, he has a good brain and can even detect something is wrong. 】
[Now that the person who drugged me has been caught, I feel relieved. ]
"Okay, it's getting late, go to bed early."
Shen Que did not stay in Meng Zhiyi's room for long, as he was afraid that if he stayed any longer he would become reluctant to leave.
Meanwhile, here is the old lady.
The housekeeper came in with a bowl of sleeping soup and saw Madam Shen rubbing her eyebrows.
He quickly put down his bowl and walked over, asking concernedly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Madam Shen shook her head: "No, I just think about what happened today and feel that I have wronged you."
Hearing this, the housekeeper chuckled and walked around to the old lady and squatted down: "I don't feel wronged. As long as I can always be with you, I don't care about my status."
Madam Shen looked apologetic and said slowly, "It will be soon. As long as Zhiyi can remember everything, we can find a paradise to live in in our old age."
