Chapter 119 Cheng Yan uses brotherly love to block the knife
Cheng Yan was terrified because she had been jealous of Cheng Qian since she was a child, so she would try every possible way to sabotage anything that happened to her.
When she was in charge of preparing Xiaoye's diet, she secretly added some pig feed to it. Although the amount was small, after adding it, Xiaoye's body really became fatter day by day.
Later, Cheng Yan didn't dare to add any more people to the group, for fear of being discovered and being regarded as a bad person.
Ever since Cheng Qian returned to China, Cheng Yan has been hoping that her relationship with Li Zhinan would break up quickly.
Some time ago, she received news that their relationship had cooled and they had not slept together in almost a year of separation. Cheng Yan thought she saw hope.
Who would have thought that after a period of quarrel, their relationship seems to have revived recently.
Cheng Yan was full of anger, so she naturally increased the force when she kicked the ball at Xiaoye.
She thought no one would find out that she did it on purpose, and the little guy would get up quickly if he fell and would not complain.
But what made her feel cold was that Li Zhinan suddenly appeared.
Xia Mengjiao on the second floor recorded a video for Cheng Qian to watch.
Cheng Qian saw the small figure on the grass, who seemed to have been knocked down by the ball, and her heart tightened instantly.
Fortunately, Li Zhinan did not give her a perfunctory answer and really went over to take the child away.
In the bedroom on the second floor, Li Zhinan looked at the child's little butt. There was only a red mark, which would be fine if he rubbed it gently.
"Xiao Ye, can daddy accompany you to draw?" Li Zhinan decided to take care of the child by himself.
Although it was just an accident just now, it would be really worrying if the child was not under my own supervision and I couldn't pay attention to his every move.
It is said that a two-year-old should be kept in the hands and a three-year-old should be kept in the eyes. Li Zhinan does not want to be a father in name only anymore.
Cheng Yan was taking care of the two elders downstairs enthusiastically, running around, and the two elders seemed really satisfied.
"Okay, here is a bottle of essential oil with more than 20 kinds of medicinal herbs in it. Apply it once every night, and it can beautify your skin and protect your bones." Cheng Yan introduced a new product launched by their company.
Mrs. Li nodded with satisfaction: "Xiaoyan, I heard that the sales of your company's flagship products have always been very good. This is all thanks to you."
Cheng Yan lowered her eyebrows and smiled as she said, "It's the result of the team's efforts, not just mine."
"Look at this child, he is so humble." Old Mrs. Li smiled even more happily.
Jiang Meng also nodded: "Miss Cheng has a noble character, which is indeed rare."
Cheng Yan blushed at the praise and lowered her head, not daring to respond.
"I have another beauty product that pregnant women can use. I'll go upstairs to talk to Mengjiao." Cheng Yan has already won the favor of the elders. Next, the target of her pursuit becomes Xia Mengjiao.
At this moment, Xia Mengjiao had just finished breastfeeding her two children, and her husband Li Zhishi took them to the room to play.
She took out the script and leaned back on the sofa to read it.
There was a very soft knock on the door, making her look back.
"Mengjiao, is the child asleep?" Cheng Yan walked in with a smile and a concerned tone.
"What's the matter?" Xia Mengjiao was already very disgusted with this woman.
As a scientific researcher, her sister-in-law is always busy and comes home late every day. But she goes to the Li family every day. If outsiders don’t know, they would think that she is Mrs. Li.
"I've noticed you haven't looked your best lately, taking care of the kids. Would you like to try this new pure Chinese herbal beauty product our company has just launched..."
"I don't look well?" Xia Mengjiao's face darkened.
Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment. Was Xia Mengjiao so sensitive about her appearance? She just said one sentence, and her face darkened.
"No, I just said that you brought the kids and joined the crew to film..."
"You're trying to please me." Xia Mengjiao put the script on her knees, propped up her chin, and looked at Cheng Yan with a smile: "You've tried to please everyone in our Li family. What on earth do you want to do?"
Cheng Yan's heart was shocked. Xia Mengjiao's eyes that saw through everything made her feel uneasy.
"Mengjiao, what are you talking about? You misunderstood me." Cheng Yan immediately pretended to be innocent and began to explain.
"There's no misunderstanding. We're all women. I know what you're thinking." Xia Mengjiao wasn't afraid of offending her. She scoffed coldly, "I've been acting in TV dramas for six years. In my opinion, your acting has too many flaws. Oh, I played a mistress in a drama two years ago. I was the third party. My thoughts at the time were somewhat similar to your behavior now."
Cheng Yan's face froze. She didn't expect Xia Mengjiao to be so disrespectful to her.
"Mengjiao, how can you say that to me? I'm nice to the elders of the Li family because..." When Cheng Yan said this, her eyes suddenly turned red and she choked up.
Just at this moment, Jiang Meng passed by the corridor and heard Cheng Yan's choking voice. She pushed the door open and came in to show her concern.
"What's wrong? Mengjiao, did you bully Miss Cheng?"
Xia Mengjiao was fearless, but she was afraid of her mother-in-law. She immediately played dumb and said, "No, I was just having a normal chat with her."
Cheng Yan had already seen that Xia Mengjiao was trying to stop her from entering the Li family. She took this opportunity to squeeze out two lines of tears: "Aunt Jiang, I won't eat dinner. I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do..."
"Xia Mengjiao, what did you say?" Jiang Meng immediately stared at his second daughter-in-law seriously: "Don't be arrogant at home. In this family, your words don't count."
Xia Mengjiao shrank her neck, not wanting to argue with her mother-in-law.
"Aunt Jiang, don't blame Mengjiao. Maybe I really was too much and made her misunderstand my motives." Cheng Yan said this, she turned to Xia Mengjiao and said, "A few days ago, I recognized Zhinan as my eldest brother. Now he and I are just brother and sister. Mengjiao, you really misunderstood me. I was nice to the people of the Li family only because my eldest brother treated me as his sister. I thought I was a part of this family. It turns out... I took myself too seriously."
After Cheng Yan finished speaking, she turned around and walked out.
Xia Mengjiao widened her eyes. She didn't expect Cheng Yan's method to be so clever that she actually used the love between brother and sister to block the knife.
Jiang Meng was very displeased and warned Xia Mengjiao: "Grandma and I know Cheng Yan better than you do. Stop trying to sow discord here."
After saying that, Jiang Meng chased downstairs.
Xia Mengjiao was filled with anger. Cheng Yan, this shameless woman, actually wanted to take a radical approach and squeeze into the Li family as a younger sister, wanting to become a part of the Li family.
Downstairs, Cheng Yan was already in the car, ready to leave.
At this moment, the car door was opened by a hand, and Jiang Meng grabbed her arm: "Xiaoyan, don't be angry, I have already taught Mengjiao a lesson. She is jealous. She had a quarrel with Cheng Qian before, and now she can't stand you being popular in the Li family."
Cheng Yan said with a look of self-blame: "Aunt Jiang, I really want to be good to you, and I don't have any ulterior motives."
Jiang Meng laughed: "You are sincere, you have no ulterior motives, but now I have discussed it with your grandmother, you and Zhinan are a good match."
Cheng Yan was stunned when she heard this: "Aunt Jiang, what are you talking about?"
Jiang Meng no longer concealed it and asked directly: "Xiaoyan, do you like Zhinan? If you like him, do you want to marry him and become his wife?"
