"But... what if I really say something that makes my aunt unhappy?"

At this moment, Wu Xuanyue repeated her old tricks and began to pretend to be pitiful in front of her elders. She looked really aggrieved and pitiful.

However, Nalan Youmeng and Wu Xuanyue have been together for a long time, and he understands this ghost girl's character too well, and he especially doesn't like her pretentiousness.

She glared at Wu Xuanyue fiercely, sneered coldly, glanced at the empty wine glass in Gouzi's hand, and signaled him to refill her wine.

Wu Xuanyue understood, and immediately rushed to apologize and neatly poured wine for Nalan Youmeng.

"Are you girl really afraid that I'll be angry? I can't tell. You're just a little bad guy. You have the same virtues as your father. You've obviously done something to pull people into trouble, but you still pretend to be pitiful. If you were really afraid that I would be angry, why would you coax me to drink with you? You knew that I must have violated the rules of the family by doing this, but you drank one glass after another with me. You said it was to relieve my worries, but in fact What? Haha~"

Having said this, Nalan Youmeng raised his sharp eyes and squinted at the expression of the woman next to him to see how she would respond next.

"This... Auntie is smart, isn't she? I saw through my little trick at a glance, and she feels sorry for me~ So she cooperated with me. After all, Yue'er was just greedy and wanted to drink, so she pulled her along I'm in the water~ As the saying goes, a thousand cups of wine are too few to drink with a close friend. If I had the opportunity to have a drink with my aunt today, how could I see a different side of her? To be honest, aunt - I really like you now, real, free and easy, You are not formal, and you are completely different from the aloof you usually are. You are more approachable like this."

I never thought that Wu Xuanyue was not cunningly blaming others this time, but actually admitted what she had done. This was something Nalan Youmeng did not expect.

Nalan Youmeng was stunned after hearing this, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer the question.

"Hey! You did the opposite~ Is this the Wu Xuanyue I know?"

After a while, Nalan Youmeng gave a wry smile, followed by another burst of cynicism, in order to resolve his embarrassment.

"Auntie...didn't I tell you...that I don't like Yue'er's pretense and hypocrisy? Since she doesn't like it, and I still commit crimes against her will, won't that make her even more annoying? So..."

As he said that, Wu Xuanyue began to pout coquettishly again, but he really said one thing with his mouth and another on his face.

"Come again? Come less!"

Seeing this, Nalan Youmeng not only rolled her eyes, raised her head, and downed a glass of wine.

Wu Xuanyue knew that Nalan Youmeng was too lazy to argue with her, so she continued to act coquettishly - "Who is not a baby? You know, auntie, I haven't been able to act like a baby since I was a child, and I finally met someone who can act like a baby. Elder, I wanted to make up for all the grievances I had suffered over the years, but in the end I was bored by it."

"Haha~ Time has changed, how old are you? You're still a baby~ I couldn't act coquettishly when I was a child. Now you go and act like a spoiled child to your man. I really can't stand it. Since you like me as my aunt so much, Then change your behavior, I still like simple and sincere emotions for being scheming, in other words, if I always play tricks on you, Yue'er, will you treat me sincerely?"

As soon as these words came out, Wu Xuanyue looked embarrassed. She knew that Nalan Youmeng was talking about the general herself. What she said was very clear. They are all her own family members. Treating each other sincerely is the first priority. There is no need to treat outsiders. Means to treat yourself, isn't it?

Wu Xuanyue chuckled, then hurriedly filled Nalan Youmeng's glass with wine, and said with a smile: "If my aunt doesn't like it, just change it. I will never cause trouble for my aunt in the future."

"This person, if he wears the mask for a long time, he can't tell whether it is real or fake. Maybe the mask will stay on his face and won't come off..."

At this point, Nalan Youmeng glanced at Wu Xuanyue meaningfully. When she said this, although her tone was sarcastic, she also felt distressed.

After all, it is his own child. Who can help but feel distressed when he becomes like this?

"What exactly did you experience in Wumen? What made you become what you are now?"

Saying that, Nalan Youmeng drank a glass of wine with regret.

Wu Xuanyue was stunned for a moment, then sighed with sadness, and with a wry smile, she wisely brought herself a glass of wine and drank it alone as a memorial to her former self.

"The past is the past, no matter how unbearable it is, it is also the only way in my life. Since I am a member of the Wu family, some experiences must be experienced. If I don't take this path, others will not be able to go on. I I don’t regret everything I experienced in Wumen. I used to think it was hardship, but now it seems that is not the case. It turns out that what my parents taught me was a way to save my life. Who told me that I am a child of the Wu family. If I couldn’t learn how to save my life, I would have been in Wumen for a long time. If I die just outside the door, how can I come out and get to know Mayor Cao and my aunt?"

As soon as these words came out, Nalan Youmeng's eyes trembled slightly. She was stunned and felt even more sorry for her niece. What kind of cruel childhood did Wumen give her? How can a little girl be so mentally rigid?

"So...are you more calculating than loving towards Cao Yunfei?"

At this point, Nalan Youmeng took a deep breath and asked.

Wu Xuanyue did not answer immediately at first, but after drinking a glass of wine, she finally said: "I... don't know what my feelings are for Brother Yunfei, because our encounter has been a relationship of interest from the beginning. I don’t know how pure love is without the material basis. Since the interests are intertwined and the relationships are complicated, none of us can live without the other. What’s the point of having to distinguish between true and false friendships? ?”

As soon as these words came out, Nalan Youmeng was stunned again. Such an answer left her puzzled.

"When I choose to take this path, I must get to know people who are related to my interests. Either Cao Yunfei or someone else. Town Master Cao and I have had a friendship since childhood. Compared with those who value interests, he has There are still many shining points. For example, he obviously has more opportunities to meet people who are more valuable than me. If he is willing, he can easily climb the high branches of the Shangguan family, but he has no choice. Wu Chaoyang chose me instead... It shows that he is a person who values ​​​​power very much, but values ​​character and ability, so... in a sense, I admire him very much as a person, no matter what others do in the future. Whether you say he took advantage of his relationship with me or he was just a freeloader, I will always remember the friendship we had in those years. In my opinion, he was the one person who managed to survive a desperate situation in my life. Shu Guang, if it weren’t for Cao Yunfei back then, there would be no Wu Xuanyue now…”
