Meng Tingyao cried very sadly.

As a good best friend, Zhou Pianran quickly comforted her, "I know you must have been deceived. If you ask me, Qi Mu just has no brains."

"He's been dating someone for more than half a year, and he doesn't even know if he's a boy or a girl? Now he's blaming you, it's really disgusting!"

Meng Tingyao was resting her head on the woman's shoulder, her body twitching.

It took a few minutes for the mood to stabilize.

By the time the Bentley drove into the Zhou family's old house, Meng Tingyao had put on a smiling face again.

Except for the redness and swelling of the eyes, there was no other abnormality.

Seeing this, Zhou Pianran sighed without any evil intentions.

"Yao Yao, I wish I could have a mentality like yours. One second I was crying, and the next second I acted like nothing happened."

Meng Tingyao, who was sensitive, could only smile awkwardly.

"I'm just afraid that Yu Bai will be worried..."

The atmosphere in the old house was much more relaxed today than it was yesterday.

Mother Zhou sat and talked with Mr. Lin, and from time to time she would ask a few more questions about her son and daughter's marriage.

When it came to Zhou Yubai, Mr. Lin took his birth date and calculated it carefully.

Finally he sighed heavily.

"Pity."

Mother Zhou was stunned and quickly asked: "What's wrong, Mr. Lin?"

"Was your child married and then divorced?"

"Yes."

"You have lost your good match!"

Mother Zhou was confused.

Good match?

Is Meng Xingluan a good match for her son? Are you kidding?

Her son is so outstanding, how could Meng Xingluan, a man from a small family, be worthy of him?

Mother Zhou wanted to continue asking for details, but Mr. Lin said with an enigmatic face: "The secret must not be leaked."

Mother Zhou: "..."

I said it but didn't seem to say it.

But she took Mr. Lin's words seriously.

At this time, Zhou Pianran came in holding Meng Tingyao, "Mom, I'm back."

"Aunt Xu."

Meng Tingyao shouted immediately.

But Zhou's mother's attitude was always cold, and she didn't even give Meng Tingyao a straight look.

She remembered clearly the last time her son and daughter lost their etiquette in the Sheng family, and it was all because of Meng Tingyao.

It's really stupid and sad to be beaten up instead of harming others.

Zhou Pianran lowered her voice and said to Meng Tingyao: "Don't worry too much, my mother has been in a bad mood recently because of my grandfather's affairs."

Meng Tingyao shook her head and said it didn't matter.

The two found a seat on the sofa and sat down.

Mr. Lin on the side put down his tea cup and looked at Zhou Pianran. Thinking of what happened yesterday, he immediately became serious.

"Miss Zhou, have you thought about who gave you that jade pendant?"

In Zhou Pianran's eyes, this fairy-like old man and Meng Xingluan were in the same group, and the two were in cahoots.

Faced with the question, she raised her chin with disdain.

"Who gave it to me, what does it have to do with you? Aren't you awesome? Why don't you do it yourself? What's the point of asking me?"

Mr. Lin's face darkened visibly.

Zhou's mother, who knew the other party's true identity, winked at her daughter.

"Of course, you can't be so rude!"

After being scolded by her own mother, Zhou Pianran finally calmed down a little.

"Mr. Lin, my daughter has been spoiled by me. Please be more patient. I'm so sorry."

Zhou's mother's tone was full of apology, but there was no trace of apology on her face.

Mr. Lin saw through it but didn't say anything.

During the stalemate between the two of them, Meng Xingluan had just come downstairs with his front foot, and Zhou Yubai also came down with his rear foot.

The two people's movements in tandem made Meng Tingyao blush.

Her fingers almost made holes in the hem of her skirt.

When Meng Xingluan walked to the opposite side and sat down, she softly called her sister.

But Meng Xingluan didn't even look at her and pretended not to hear.

An awkward atmosphere spread among everyone.

In the end, it was Zhou Yubai who came to her rescue.

"Why didn't you call me when you came here? I asked the driver to pick you up."

The corners of Meng Tingyao's eyes were red, but she tried her best to smile.

"It's okay, I don't want you to be too tired."

Mother Zhou kept frowning as she heard this.

She wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it.

Meng Tingyao expected Zhou Yubai to sit next to her, but the man seemed to not understand at all and sat on the other side.

The woman's fingers pressed harder, and the hem of her skirt was already hooked.

Why did Meng Xingluan show up at Zhou's house early in the morning?

Did she spend the night here last night?

As soon as this speculation came up, Meng Tingyao almost lost control of her temper.

She took a deep breath and told herself it was impossible.

Zhou Yubai hated Meng Xingluan so much that there was no way he could keep her at home overnight.

Must be thinking too much.

Just after comforting himself, he was shaken back to his original state by Mr. Lin's next words.

"Girl Meng, did you sleep well last night? I heard some noise from your side."

Mr. Lin's concerned eyes fell on Meng Xingluan.

"Well, I slept well."

The jealousy in Meng Tingyao's eyes was about to turn into reality.

She was shaking with anger.

To avoid being seen, he buried his head very low.

Zhou Pianran was the first to notice something was wrong with her.

"Yao Yao, what's wrong with you? Why are your hands so cold? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Except for Meng Xingluan, everyone else's eyes were focused on Meng Tingyao.

Meng Tingyao spent a lot of effort to calm down.

"It's okay, I'm just a little dizzy from not having breakfast."

Zhou Pianran got up and went to see if there was milk and bread in the refrigerator, but was stopped by Zhou's mother.

"Of course, I will ask the servant to prepare breakfast later. Now tell Mr. Lin where the jade pendant you gave grandpa came from."

The topic came back again.

Zhou Pianran didn't want to say anything, but under Zhou Yubai's pressing gaze, she spoke reluctantly.

"A friend of mine gave it to me. He said wearing it can relieve people's worries and make them worry-free."

"Haven't I often seen grandpa with a sad face recently? I just wanted to give it to grandpa, at least to make grandpa happy."

What Zhou Pianran said was not entirely true.

But she has said it all, whether others believe it or not.

Just as he was about to take a sip of water, Meng Xingluan suddenly said something.

"Aren't dead people carefree?"

Because of these words, the living room fell into dead silence.

Zhou Pianran's eyes widened with rage, "Meng Xingluan, are you sick? Thanks to my grandfather being so kind to you, you actually cursed him like this!"

Meng Xingluan met her eyes without any fear.

He raised his lips with a half-smile, "Don't you know if what I said is right or not?"

Zhou Pianran is not innocent for Mr. Zhou to become what he is today.

At least she is not as simple as she seems to know about this jade pendant.

Zhou Pianran was stared at and her back felt cold.

Incompetent and furious, he could only sit down.

Mr. Lin said: "This jade pendant is a very dangerous thing. Miss Zhou, you were deceived by your friend."

"Do you know that you almost indirectly killed your grandfather?"

Zhou Pianran lowered her head, her arrogance gone for a moment.

Meng Tingyao, who was beside her, held her hand and said calmly to Mr. Lin: "Ranran doesn't know. She is just worried about Grandpa Zhou. You are too serious."
