When Lan Guoer and Tang Zhan arrived at Mr. Meng's door, there were already quite a few people gathered there.
Mr. Meng's guards were standing in front of the gate and were in a stalemate with Mrs. Ding.
Old Mrs. Ding's son Meng Liang and daughter Meng Xin stood on both sides of her body, supporting her, looking very filial.
Zhao Bing and Meng Jiao stood behind the three of them, looking very well-behaved.
"Grandpa Meng, these are your family members after all. Please let them come inside and talk! Standing here at the door, exposed to outsiders, is so undignified."
Seeing that Mrs. Ding had failed in her first attempt, Zhao Bing began to persuade her.
"Respectable? Humph!" Old Meng narrowed his eyes and looked at him fiercely! "Whoever brought them in, please go home! They are not welcome here!"
Old Meng had heard about the matter between the Zhao family's grandson and Meng Jiao. He knew clearly that if Zhao Bing had not been there today, the Meng family would not have been able to enter the compound.
"Grandpa Meng, please don't be angry! I know I brought them here without informing you in advance. It was my fault!" Zhao Bing explained.
"But I mean well, don't I? You said that blood ties are like bones and tendons, so how can they be severed?
"It was Meng Jiao, my uncle, my aunt, and my grandma who were wrong before, but they all know they were wrong! Besides, it's been so long since it happened, so please be tolerant and forgive them!"
I have to say, Zhao Bing's words were quite skillful!
Not only did they describe his behavior of acting on his own initiative and bringing people to the door without regard for the owner's wishes as a good intention to persuade reconciliation, but they also praised Mr. Meng to death!
Forgiveness is the old man's magnanimity, and it is what he deserves!
If he doesn't forgive, the old man will seem petty!
Most people these days advocate reconciliation rather than separation, and they also like to meddle in other people's affairs. As soon as he said this, the aunties and grandmas in the courtyard began to chatter and try to persuade them to reconcile.
"Yes! Mr. Meng, every young person makes mistakes! If they make a mistake, can't they just correct it? How can you really sever the relationship? Just let the children in! Go home and educate them as you should, why not just let them in?"
"That's right! If there's any problem, we can always solve it by talking it over behind closed doors. After all, they are our own children and grandchildren!"
"I heard that your granddaughter is going to marry into the Zhao family soon. We're all neighbors, and it's polite for the children to come visit you as a grandfather before their wedding. Please don't be foolish and let the children in quickly!"
“…”
The aunties and grandmas were trying to persuade the reconciliation with each other.
Mr. Meng felt aggrieved, but knowing everyone's good intentions, he couldn't get angry at them, so his face flushed crimson.
Lan Guoer stood in the crowd, listening to everyone's discussions. Her identity was particularly sensitive at this moment.
As the goddaughter publicly acknowledged by Old Master Su, if she came out to stand on Old Master Meng's side now, she would definitely be criticized! What about competing for favor with his own granddaughter, or taking over the magpie's nest...
She knew without thinking how unpleasant the comments would be waiting for her behind her back.
But if they succeed in getting in this time, and they use the same trick again, Mr. Meng will probably never have peace in the future!
At this moment, Meng Jiao turned towards the crowd and happened to see her at a glance!
The two looked at each other, and Meng Jiao was furious! She pointed at Lan Guoer and was about to say something!
Lan Guoer knew that nothing nice could come out of her mouth, so before she opened her mouth, she instantly released her mental power.
Meng Jiao seemed to have forgotten Lan Guoer's existence in an instant and entered a state of near madness!
She rushed to Mrs. Ding in two steps and cursed at Mr. Meng.
"You old fool! Have you lost your mind after living in a cowshed? You don't even acknowledge your own granddaughter! Why would you acknowledge your adopted granddaughter?
Still want to deny me? I'm telling you today, no way! "
Everyone was stunned by this sudden reversal, and they didn't react for a moment! Even Mrs. Ding looked at her in surprise. Why did she feel that her granddaughter was a little different?
But Meng Jiao seemed not to see everyone's reaction!
She widened her eyes and glared at Mr. Meng, her voice filled with anger and dissatisfaction.
"It would have been fine if you had died! But you came back!
Didn't you say you loved me, your granddaughter, the most? Then your money, your house, everything you have is mine! Only mine!
Don’t think about anyone else!”
"Shut up!"
Old Mrs. Ding finally realized that something was wrong and winked at her.
"Isn't that what you said?"
Meng Jiao was stopped by Mrs. Ding's roar and turned to her, "You were the one who said everything this old man owns is mine! You told me to acknowledge him as my grandfather before I get anything! What, did I say something wrong?"
Old Mrs. Ding was stunned by her question!
"Jiaojiao has a fever today! She must be confused now!" She knew that if she let Meng Jiao continue to talk like this, something bad would happen! She quickly directed Zhao Bing,
"Soldier, take her home to rest. She's pregnant and can't stand this kind of torture."
"Jiaojiao, let's go home first."
How could Zhao Bing not notice Meng Jiao's abnormality, and hurried forward to pull her.
"I won't leave!"
Meng Jiao suddenly became incredibly strong, and with a swing of her arm, she threw Zhao Bing far away.
"Are you afraid that I might let something slip?"
She looked at Old Lady Ding with a smile on her lips, but her eyes were cold, which made Old Lady Ding shiver.
"Meng Jiao! What nonsense are you talking about!"
She roared! Her eyes flickered, as if something horrible was about to happen!
But Meng Jiao was like a fearless warrior at this moment, not afraid of Mrs. Ding's anger at all.
"I'm talking nonsense? What nonsense am I talking about?" She retorted with her neck stiff!
Then, as if she thought of something, she scratched her forehead and nodded, "Yes! I did say one thing wrong!"
I am not this old man's biological granddaughter, because my father and my aunt are not his children at all!"
......
There was a sudden silence in the crowd!
Old Mrs. Ding's eyes widened and she looked back at her father. Meng Liang and Meng Xin could hardly hold her up!
Is the secret she's kept hidden for most of her life about to be exposed to the scorching sun? No! No way!
"You're crazy! You must be crazy! Do you know what nonsense you are talking about?"
But now she could only find this reason to stop the situation from developing.
Mr. Meng stood there in a daze!
He was so shocked by Meng Jiao's words that he almost stopped breathing!
The past scenes replayed in his mind, and he seemed to have an epiphany all of a sudden!
No wonder Meng Liang gave birth prematurely! No wonder she reported it without mercy.
No wonder she remarried another woman as soon as he went to the country;
No wonder his so-called children were so heartless and ungrateful to him...
It turns out that it was wrong from the beginning!
At that time, it was the middle of the Republic of China, and he was at the age of high spirits.
