Meng Wenlan looked at Jin Yanyan with some dissatisfaction: "Mom, I always thought you were a smart woman. Grandma praised you for being smart and thoughtful in everything you do, which is better than my aunt. But look at what you did? When you married my dad, you should have used the power of the Meng family to get rid of Guan Xiuzhi and the others, and there wouldn't be such a mess today!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Yanyan glared at her eldest daughter in shock and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Those are human lives!"

"What's wrong with human life? Since you have successfully snatched away my love and become Mrs. Meng, why do you still care about a few lives? The troubles left behind back then are like cutting the grass without removing the roots. It will grow again when the spring breeze blows, and it has become a roadblock for me and Wen Xin!"

Jin Yanyan twisted her hands and bit her lip: "You can't have such thoughts. How can you treat human life as worthless? I had no choice back then. If I knew Guan Xiuzhi was also pregnant, I would not have done that!"

"What should we do now? Dad is obsessed with his biological daughter. He will definitely do everything he can to find her and bring her back to the Meng family. What about Wen Xin and me? We have been daughters of the Meng family for twenty years. It's time to choose a marriage partner, but suddenly you say we are not daughters of the Meng family. Are you going to let us live? Do you want us to just marry a worker or a small cadre and live a poor and humble life at the bottom of the society?"

"Dad won't let you live that kind of life. Even if you are not my biological daughter, the father-daughter relationship is real. You are still the daughters of the Meng family, and dad loves you so much. Biological daughter? Biological daughters are not raised from childhood, so they are not as close as you."

Jin Yanyan tried hard to sort out her messy mind, which resulted in her speaking incoherently but very quickly, as if she was neurotic.

Meng Wenxin leaned into her arms and cried, "Mom, I don't want that biological daughter to come back. Dad loves her and doesn't love me anymore!"

"No, Daddy is just sharing some of his love with her."

"Then I'm short of it, I don't!"

"Don't cry, she hasn't come yet, has she? From what your eldest brother said, maybe she won't come at all! Your eldest brother didn't even tell your father the girl's address!"

Meng Wenxin was still crying, but was pushed away by Meng Wenlan. Meng Wenlan was fed up with her sister's weakness and uselessness. She still wanted to talk to Jin Yanyan about serious matters:

"Mom, don't forget, it's not difficult for Dad to use his power to find someone!"

Jin Yanyan's expression changed.

Meng Wenlan added, "And my eldest brother is usually cold and indifferent to Wen Xin and me. I just heard him talk about us with my father in a tone that really disgusted me! My eldest brother is the eldest grandson of the Meng family. My father treats him so well. Among the male grandsons of the Meng family, my father favors him. If my eldest brother doesn't like us and whispers to my father, or if he directly talks to the old man and the old lady to force and urge my father to abandon us, it is possible!"

Jin Yanyan's face turned pale and she shook her head: "No! Your father and I have been married for 20 years..."

"Mom! What's twenty years of love? Didn't he just push you and Wen Xin away in order to find his biological daughter? If he takes that biological daughter back and then reveals that Wen Xin and I are not biological children, do you think we still have a place in the Meng family? I'm afraid the whole capital will think we are a joke!"

Jin Yanyan's chest rose and fell sharply, she was panting, and sweat was visible on her forehead and nose. "You, you and your sister go back to the room first, let me be quiet, I need to think about it carefully."

"Mom, we are not children anymore. We can discuss things together and we can give you some advice."

Meng Wenlan supported Jin Yanyan and said, "There's no one else at home right now. Let's go downstairs to the living room and talk slowly, and wait for Dad to come back."

The mother and her two daughters went downstairs and sat on the sofa.

Meng Wenlan approached Jin Yanyan and asked, "Mom, if my eldest brother doesn't live with us, where will he go?"

"Will they eat at the guest house?"

"Where else can we go? It's New Year's Day and the state-owned restaurants outside have already closed."

"Mom, do you know the waiter at the guesthouse?"

"what?"

Meng Wenlan sat up straight, with a resolute expression: "Big Brother is full of malice towards us, we definitely can't let him slaughter us like little lambs, we must resist! And we have to strike first!"

Jin Yanyan looked at her eldest daughter in doubt: "What do you want to do? Don't do it recklessly. Your eldest brother is not an ordinary person. You will suffer."

"I'm not stupid, how can I confront him head-on?"

Meng Wenlan said, "I know he has a problem. He won't get drunk when drinking in public. That's because he took medicine beforehand. Medicine is poisonous to the body. If you take too much, it will definitely harm your body. So he doesn't take medicine when drinking with his family or friends. He will get drunk after two cups at most. Usually, whenever he comes, my father will drink two cups with him. Now, maybe they are drinking in the guesthouse!"

"So what?"

"He will get drunk after drinking. He can't tolerate us, so there is no need for us to show mercy to him. Let's go all out. Wen Xin studied pharmacy and stole a lot of drugs from her teacher's laboratory. We can just use them!"

Meng Wenxin covered her mouth and shrank into the corner of the sofa like a frightened little white rabbit: "No, no, I don't want to hurt my brother!"

Meng Wenlan glared at her: "If you don't hurt him, he will drive you out of the Meng family. If you leave the Meng family, you will be just an ordinary civilian girl. You still want to marry Shen Yu? Dream on!"

Meng Wenxin whimpered a few times: "Can you... not let big brother die, but just let him sleep forever? Like a vegetable?"

"All right, as long as he doesn't speak!"

Jin Yanyan reached out and poked Meng Wenlan on the forehead: "I told you not to do anything stupid, but you brought your sister with you!"

This was not feasible at all. It was not dangerous. She had seen drunk Meng Zhehan before. He had no resistance. But Meng Zhehan was not an ordinary person. He was the eldest grandson of the Meng family. If something happened to him, it would be a big deal for the Meng family. It must be investigated strictly. Who could escape? Meng Wenlan and Meng Wenxin were too young. They were simple-minded and took things for granted. Jin Yanyan naturally could not let them do stupid things.

"Mom, what should we do?" Meng Wenlan stomped her feet.

"Don't worry too much, mom and dad are here."

Although Jin Yanyan was in a state of anxiety, she still had to comfort her two daughters first: "Your father will go with your eldest brother and will definitely have a good talk with him. You also heard what was said in the study just now. Your eldest brother promised that this matter will be resolved by your father himself. He will not interfere and will not tell the family without your father. So you can rest assured and believe in your father. Your father has us in his heart, because only we can give him a happy and joyful family!"
