"Hello." The colleagues on the other end were a little embarrassed. They hadn't spoken to Meng Yixuan all day, and they all felt awkward meeting her elders.
Zhu Qingling, however, felt that Meng Yixuan was doing it on purpose. Was she a three-year-old? Did she call her parents in because of a conflict at work?
Thinking of this, she rolled her eyes at the two of them.
"Zhu Qingling, what kind of attitude is that? My aunt is talking to you." Meng Yixuan was actually quite pleased to see how uncomfortable they were.
Looking up, Su Ti was eating with her head down, not paying any attention to them at all. Zhu Qingling did look at them, but rolled her eyes at them.
"Yixuan!" Meng Yalan stopped her, then looked at Zhu Qingling with an embarrassed expression.
"Comrade, my daughter Yixuan is spoiled by her family. Did she do something to upset you? I'll talk to her properly later, please don't take it to heart."
As Meng Yalan spoke, she squeezed Meng Yixuan's hand and turned to look at her with a stern gaze.
Meng Yixuan could tell that her aunt was angry. Remembering what her aunt had said—that she had to listen to her in everything—she couldn't afford to anger her aunt any further, or she would really have no one to help her.
"It's nothing." Zhu Qingling felt a little awkward seeing her elder apologizing to her, so she didn't say anything more and lowered her head to eat quietly.
The dinner table was unusually quiet, with everyone feeling that Meng Yixuan had brought the elders along to give them a hard time.
"Yixuan, is this woman also your colleague? I didn't even notice her. Oh, she's pregnant. She's really beautiful."
Meng Yalan pretended to ask Meng Yixuan a question. She had been waiting for Su Ti to make eye contact with her, but half a day had passed and the meal was almost finished, and the person still hadn't looked at her properly.
She had no choice but to speak up; she realized that what her niece said was just what she thought.
This girl's looks and overall demeanor far surpass her niece's, and her calm demeanor shows she doesn't take them seriously at all.
Everyone else's character is written all over their face, but she still can't figure out what kind of person this is; she gives off an unfathomable feeling.
"Are you talking to me?" Suti swallowed the food in his mouth before looking over.
The main problem is that everyone else is watching her, so she has no choice but to respond.
"Yes, I've been watching you eat a lot. You must be starving, right? Pregnant women do have a bigger appetite."
"I was the same way back then. I was just curious to see you working with such a big belly."
Seeing her calm demeanor, Meng Yalan softened her tone, but her words still conveyed the impression that Su Ti was impolite.
He kept his head down and ate without greeting anyone.
"Yes, you're right." Su Ti nodded in agreement, then continued eating with her head down, clearly not taking her words to heart at all.
Meng Yalan: "..."
"Su Ti, what do you mean? How dare you speak to my aunt like that?" Before Meng Yalan could even speak, Meng Yixuan stood up like a firecracker.
"What's wrong with me? Can't I say you're always right? Or are you always wrong? Besides, she's your aunt. You can bring her home and treat her with respect if you want, but we have no obligation to do so."
Su Ti glanced at Meng Yixuan and her so-called aunt, well, the little white lotus and the old white lotus.
Is this a case of the younger one being wronged, and the older one coming to her rescue? If she hadn't spoken to her earlier, she might have believed that she had just happened to be passing by.
Now it seems this was specifically targeting her.
"Yes, Meng Yixuan, don't forget what you did to us yesterday. What did you want to do by bringing your aunt here? To scold us? We're not afraid of you."
When Zhu Qingling saw the two arguing, she naturally sided with Su Ti.
Everyone else remained silent, like quails, but their gazes towards Meng Yixuan were equally full of disdain.
Meng Yalan grabbed her brainless niece. It was obvious at a glance that she wasn't doing well in the office, since no one spoke to her.
"Comrades, you've misunderstood. Yixuan has always been close to me since she was little, and she can't bear to see me suffer any injustice. Please don't mind her."
Meng Yalan kept apologizing, and her words implied that it was all their fault.
"You mean you were wronged? I didn't realize that my statement, 'You're right in everything, but you've been wronged,' was quite a grievance."
Suti had no idea what these two innocent-looking people were up to, but since they were both planning to offend someone, why pretend to be friendly?
She was thinking about her man; she couldn't stand it.
That's not what I meant.
"Yes, that's not what you meant. I misunderstood you again."
Before Meng Yalan could speak, Su Ti interrupted her.
"You've misunderstood me. That's not what I meant. It's all my fault." (This is a phrase often used by those who are innocent and naive, implying a naive and scheming person.)
Meng Yalan: "..."
She underestimated her; this woman is very capable.
"Comrade, did Yixuan do something wrong? If there's anything wrong with her, tell me and I'll teach her a lesson later."
Meng Yalan realized that this person was not simple and was even more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.
"Is she mute? Or is she just three years old? If she really does something wrong, can't she apologize herself and has to bring her parents to mediate?"
"I didn't say she did anything wrong from beginning to end, did I? Every single word you said was her fault, and your fault too. Anyone who didn't know better would think I was bullying you!"
"What did you do that I don't know about? Why are you so guilty and keep coming to apologize?"
"Besides, we're not familiar with each other, and I'm not her supervisor. If there's anything wrong, you should report it to your supervisor. I'll leave now that I've finished eating."
Su Ti had no intention of arguing with her any further; the worse her attitude was now, the more she would provoke Meng Yixuan.
Seeing that she's brought her elders along, there's really nothing else we can do.
"Yes, we've finished eating, so we'll be leaving now." Seeing that Su Ti was about to leave, Zhu Qingling also finished eating the food on her plate and left.
The colleagues over there looked at each other, then wolfed down their food and ran off.
They had never had such a choking meal before; it was all Meng Yixuan's fault.
"Auntie, look at them." Meng Yixuan stared at the group of people in disbelief, and only complained to her aunt after they left.
"Let's eat first, we'll talk outside." Meng Yalan noticed that many people around them were watching them, and she had never been so humiliated before.
I never knew that my niece was such a person who couldn't keep secrets; she could be easily exposed by just a few words from someone.
It takes skill to offend everyone in the office. Does she really think she's invincible?
She's still so arrogant and doesn't know where she went wrong. Does she really think she's omnipotent and can defeat everyone as long as she takes action?
She really overestimated her; that Suti is a tough nut to crack.
Only after the two left did Meng Yalan say to Meng Yixuan earnestly, "Yixuan, if I were you, I would give up. You are no match for that Su Ti."
