"Sister?!" Shen Jiayao screamed!
This shout drew the attention of everyone in the living room.
Ye Qiu asked curiously, "Qingli, do you know him?"
Shen Qingli wanted to say in a very arrogant manner that she didn't know him and that the young lady had mistaken him for someone else. I am the only daughter of my parents.
But I still think it is better to tell the truth.
"Yes, my family's former adopted daughter."
No one is stupid. Seeing Shen Qingli's unenthusiastic attitude, they knew there must be a story behind it, otherwise she wouldn't have said she was "the former adopted daughter."
When Shen Jiayao heard this, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes, and the smile on her face was somewhat forced: "Sister, long time no see, why are you here?"
Shen Qingli sat on the leather sofa, his eyes lazily lowered as he teased Naitang. Without saying a word, the situation fell into awkwardness once again.
"She is my wife." Meng Xiao walked over to Shen Qingli and sat down, his long arms lazily resting on the backrest behind her in a protective gesture.
"Are you married? Sister, aren't you and Brother Zheng Chuan..." Shen Jiayao quickly covered her mouth, as if she had said it carelessly. In fact, she did it on purpose. When she saw Shen Qingli, her mind raced, guessing that she must be dating someone in the Meng family, which is why she was here.
Yes, she mentioned Zheng Chuan on purpose, but she didn't expect that they were not just dating, but were already married.
Shen Qingli saw through her little trick but didn't care at all. She raised her eyes and stared at Shen Jiayao with a half-smile: "Isn't that scumbag your brother Zheng Chuan? What? What does it have to do with me? Have you forgotten why you were kicked out of the house?"
Shen Jiayao shot herself in the foot. Her face turned pale.
"What do you mean by expelled from the family? What about adopted daughter? Yaoyao, didn't you say that the Shen family in the capital are your biological parents, and the Shenjia Village are your adoptive parents? Are you from the same Shen family as her? Are you the adopted daughter who was expelled from the Shen family?"
Wu Zhaodi's voice was a little shrill. She had thought her future daughter-in-law was a golden phoenix, but it turned out she was a fake?
No! It's impossible! She can't accept it!
"Aunt, I...I'm not like that."
Shen Jiayao's explanation became increasingly confusing as she panicked. She grabbed Meng Hao's hand and begged, "Brother Hao."
Although Meng Hao was somewhat confused and angry that she had deceived an entire family, he suddenly felt a surge of responsibility when he saw Shen Jiayao looking at him in panic and tearful eyes, asking for help.
At this moment, he suddenly wanted to stand opposite his mother and protect her.
Just as he pulled Shen Jiayao behind him, the old man spoke.
Mr. Meng couldn't stand this farce any longer. What the hell is going on?! No one is worrying!
"Okay, if you have any problems, just solve them privately. Don't bother me. Now, eat. I'm hungry, old man!"
Everyone listened to the old man's words and took their seats.
"Do we need to lock him up?" Ye Qiu asked, pointing at Naitang.
"No need, auntie. Naitang is very well behaved. Let her lie down under the stool later. She won't move around until we finish eating." Meng Kexin came over and put her arms around Shen Qingli and Ye Qiu.
After putting the candy under their stool, Meng Xiao and Shen Qingli went to the yard to wash their hands together.
"Zheng Chuan was my childhood sweetheart. Shen Jiayao hooked up with him. They signed me up to go to the countryside. After the affair was exposed, they pushed me into the river."
Shen Qingli lowered his eyes and washed his hands as he spoke lightly.
Meng Xiao's breathing stagnated: "Were you pushed into the river by her?"
Shen Qingli heard the fear and anger in his tone.
After drying her hands, she carefully wiped the water off his hands with a towel and comforted him softly: "Don't be angry, I'm fine now. She was sent away by her parents later. Besides, if they hadn't signed me up to go to the countryside to work in the fields, we wouldn't even know each other!"
It was a thing of the past, and she didn't want Meng Xiao to take the initiative to attack the third house because of this matter, but she also pretended to be relaxed.
After all, it was the original owner's life, too heavy a burden to reconcile, never to be reconciled. She hoped that these two people would never fall into her hands again, otherwise, by then, new hatreds and old grudges would be crushed in one fell swoop and they would never be able to get up again.
The two returned to the dining room, where seats had been reserved for them.
The old man personally changed the positions of several dishes, and the ones in front of her were the ones she had taken most often when eating at home.
My heart warmed: "Thank you, Grandpa."
"Come on, eat now!"
During the meal, the older generations clinked glasses and discussed national current affairs and policy trends, while the younger generations talked about work plans and the like.
Few of the women spoke, mainly because they all disliked each other. Even the lively Meng Kexin became much quieter.
After dinner, Meng Xiao drove his mother and wife to the hospital.
In the car, Ye Qiu said to Shen Qingli, "Your Third Aunt is just like that. She doesn't like anyone and wants to find fault with everyone. If she challenges you again, challenge her back. Fortunately, we haven't seen each other much in the past few years. Otherwise, if we lived together every day, we would definitely be fighting every day."
"Don't worry, Mom. I won't let myself suffer any loss. I won't let her."
Shen Qingli said this exaggeratedly, stiffening her neck. This made her mother-in-law Ye Qiu laugh repeatedly.
In the hospital
"You can get up now. There's nothing wrong. Both babies are developing well, but since they're twins, you'd better have regular checkups. From five months of gestation until one month before delivery, check once a month, and then once a week for the last month. But twins usually come early..."
The doctor explained carefully. Meng Xiao and Shen Qingli were stunned when they heard about the twins. They looked at each other in bewilderment.
Ye Qiu reacted: "Excuse me, doctor, let me interrupt you. What are you talking about? Twins? Two children? Did I hear you correctly?"
