Chapter 49 Want something?
"Jiaojiao? I'm talking to you, why are you looking at me like this?"

Second Miss Jiang was extremely thick-skinned, and she was able to remind Shen Jiaojiao to come back to her senses without changing her expression or heartbeat.

Shen Jiaojiao put away her surprise and laughed dryly.

"No, it's nothing."

Second Miss Jiang smiled and winked in Meng Hui's direction, "Jiaojiao, you haven't introduced your brother to me yet."

"Brother?" She read again and looked up at Meng Hui.

Hearing the soft 'brother', Meng Hui's eyes darkened slightly and he looked at her silently.

Shen Jiaojiao only persisted for a moment and then hurriedly withdrew her gaze.

She never called him 'brother'.

In the Meng Mansion, she had always been dignified and polite. When she was young, her mother-in-law taught her to call her "Sworn Brother", and she has continued to do so for so many years.

I remember that when Meng Wan first returned home, she called her sworn brother "brother" a few times, but was severely scolded by Meng Hui and could only call her "elder brother"...

She guessed that her sworn brother hated this kind of title.

"Oh, hurry up and introduce me!" Second Miss Jiang couldn't stand her ink stains and couldn't help but shake her arm to urge her.

"Don't you know?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

Second Miss Jiang sighed, "Oh, that was just what was said in rumors. How could it be more accurate than if you directly introduced your brother?"

Shen Jiaojiao had no choice but to introduce them to the two of them.

"Brother, this is the second Miss Jiang, Jiang..."

What is Miss Jiang's name?

"Jiang Yi." Miss Jiang saw that she was stuck and quickly answered, "Yi from IKEA Yishi."

Meng Hui nodded slightly, "Yeah."

Shen Jiaojiao looked at Meng Hui in shock.

My step-brother has changed his temper? In the past, when encountering such an occasion, I would just walk away, but today I actually responded?

She couldn't understand, so she continued to introduce.

"Second Miss Jiang, this is my sworn brother, Meng Hui."

After saying that, she wanted to pull away the hand held by Jiang Yi, but found that she couldn't break free.

"Second Miss Jiang, do you have anything else to do?" She looked at Jiang Yi helplessly and motioned for him to let go.

The words Miss Jiang Er said earlier caused her to be ridiculed for "wanting to be in the limelight."

She didn't have a good impression of Miss Jiang Er, and she just wanted to stay away as soon as possible.

"Ah? Aren't we chatting?" Jiang Yi pretended to be confused.

Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and said no more.

Meng Hui noticed that she was a little unhappy, as if she was embarrassed to reject Miss Jiang.

His eyebrows moved and he stretched out his hand towards her.

"Shen Jiaojiao, come here."

"What's wrong?" When she heard her adopted brother calling her, she walked forward reflexively.

Jiang Yi also wanted to follow him, but saw the man glance at him lightly, his eyes were sharper than a knife, and he was so frightened that he froze on the spot.

Meng Hui took Shen Jiaojiao's hand, led her to the many ladies, and saluted them.

She slowed down for a moment and then saluted.

"Look, this busy man of my family. I haven't seen him attend a banquet for a long time. If you ask me, Mrs. Chiang has the most face." Mrs. Meng smiled softly. While teasing Meng Hui, she also praised Mrs. Chiang.

Hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao quietly raised her head and glanced at Mrs. Wei quickly.

As expected, Mrs. Wei looked ugly, obviously angered by her adoptive mother's words. The sworn brother had never attended banquets before, but now he attended the plum blossom appreciation banquet hosted by Mrs. Chiang.

Isn't this a slap in Magistrate Wei's face?
Mrs. Jiang was already paying attention to Shen Jiaojiao. When she saw her little actions, she secretly laughed at her intelligence and decided to help her.

"Hey, stop talking. I better come to the door in person to invite this kid."

Mrs. Jiang shook her head and complained to Mrs. Wei on the side, "I had to tell him several times before he reluctantly participated. If I had known that this guy was so difficult to recruit, I wouldn't have bothered with this!"

Mrs. Wei's expression softened a lot, and she also laughed, "Mr. Meng is a busy man, it's already a big deal to invite him."

Mrs. Meng reacted quickly, but she didn't know how to turn around. She never thought that Mrs. Jiang would speak for herself.
Immediately my impression of Mrs. Jiang became much better.

The ladies chatted and laughed for a while, and the topic fell on Meng Hui again.

"Ah Hui, can you see the girls in my family today?" Mrs. Meng asked with a smile, her eyes falling on the hands he and Shen Jiaojiao were holding.

Shen Jiaojiao felt uncomfortable being looked at and wanted to pull her hand back, but was squeezed tightly.

She didn't dare to break away vigorously, so she could only give up.

Meng Hui glanced down at her and replied, "I've met Miss Jiang."

"My Yi'er..." Mrs. Jiang suddenly laughed, pointed at Jiang Yi who was rushing over and smiled at everyone: "Look, Cao Cao is here just after you say Cao Cao."

Jiang Yi snuggled into Mrs. Jiang's arms and said coquettishly, "Mom, what are you talking about Yi'er? You can't say bad things about me in front of Brother Meng Hui."

"Who dares to say bad things about you?" Mrs. Jiang smiled and shook her head, "Also, that is my charming brother, why did you call me brother?"

"mother!"

Jiang Yi blushed with embarrassment and buried his head in Mrs. Jiang's arms, refusing to come out.

The ladies present here are all smart people, so they naturally saw Jiang Yi's thoughts and did not stop when they saw Mrs. Jiang. They were obviously happy to facilitate this marriage.

Mrs. Wei asked jokingly: "Meng Hui, are you willing to recognize this sister?"

Hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao's breathing became messy, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at her adopted brother beside her, clenching her hands unconsciously.

Can the sworn brother hear the deeper meaning in Mrs. Wei's words?

How would the sworn brother respond?

When she thought that Meng Hui would get married in the future and she would have an extra sister-in-law, her heart felt as if it was blocked, and she felt tight and uncomfortable.

Meng Hui noticed her emotional instability, slightly retracted his palm, and held her hand back, but did not look back at her.

A faint voice came from the side.

"One sister is enough."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Jiaojiao.

Meng Wan is the true daughter of the Meng family, and she is Meng Hui's well-deserved younger sister. So who does Shen Jiaojiao count?
Only Mrs. Meng and Meng Wan's expressions changed with fear, fearing that Meng Hui would say something like "Meng Wan is not my sister" in front of everyone.

"It seems that you are still a very emotional person." Mrs. Jiang pointed out.

"Everyone says that businessmen value profits, but boys value feelings the most." Meng Hui answered modestly.

Shen Jiaojiao stood beside him, but there was a strange feeling in her heart.

The adopted brother's attitude towards Mrs. Chiang was very unusual.

In the past, even if my sworn brother attended a banquet, he would not take the initiative to talk to the elders, let alone stand in front of them and chat.

Could it be that...the sworn brother wants something from Mrs. Jiang?
After thinking for a moment, Shen Jiaojiao felt that she had thought too much.

The sworn brother is as rich as the country, so how can he ask Mrs. Chiang?
She suppressed this thought for the time being and continued to listen to the elders.

When Miss Jiang heard the ladies' joke, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes. She mustered up her courage again, walked to Meng Hui, and extended an invitation——

"Brother Meng Hui, would you like to go out with me to enjoy the snow?"
