She has a slender waist and delicate bones, and is able to seduce the ascetic horse.

Chapter 6 Support
Shen Jiaojiao's eyes widened and she looked at the man standing in front of her in panic.

Why is my adopted brother here? !
How could he show up now?

What if someone sees the clues? !

She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at her adopted brother again, for fear that someone would notice her horrified expression.

"Brother, it's Shen Jiaojiao..."

Meng Wan repeated his old tricks and wanted to throw dirty water on Shen Jiaojiao.

Meng Hui interrupted her, "Don't use such unflattering tactics in front of me."

Meng Wan was so frightened by these words that she stiffened up and subconsciously took two steps back, but accidentally fell through the air.

Hearing the screams, Shen Jiaojiao poked her head out from behind Meng Hui to see what was going on.

A scent of osmanthus, with a hint of sweetness, poured into her nostrils.

One second she was wondering how her adopted brother could smoke cinnamon, and the next moment she remembered that it was the incense she made by herself when she took her maid to the garden to pick osmanthus in the autumn.

It was a small thing at first, but after last night's joy, it became a little different...

She didn't dare to look at her adopted brother, so she simply turned her gaze to Meng Wan who fell to the ground.

This time it was a real fall, a terrible fall, and there was a faint trace of blood on the ground.

Meng Wan raised her hand and saw that the skin on her palm was scratched, and bright red blood came out. She was about to cry to her parents when she saw her eldest brother staring at her expressionlessly.

She shivered and didn't dare to say anything.

"Wan'er!" Mrs. Meng screamed, rushed to protect Meng Wan behind her, and asked Meng Hui, "Ah Hui, how could you do this to your sister!"

"Sister?" Meng Hui narrowed his eyes slightly, "I would like to ask, who is the 'foreign man' that my sister talks about?"

Meng Wan trembled all over and shrank into Mrs. Meng's arms, not daring to speak.

A layer of cold sweat gradually formed on my back.

She is too impatient!

She didn't expect her eldest brother to protect Shen Jiaojiao like this!
Mrs. Meng patted her daughter's back distressedly. When she looked at Meng Hui again, her face became a little sullen, "Ah Hui, you know Wan'er doesn't mean this, so don't deliberately misinterpret her!"

"She's mute? Let her speak for herself." Meng Hui did not give Meng Wan any face.

"Ah Hui!" Mrs. Meng was angry, "Are you going to contradict me for Shen Jiaojiao?!"

Meng Hui sneered, "Shen Jiaojiao? Haha, compared to this sister of unknown origin, I watched Shen Jiaojiao grow up anyway, so what if I just favor her?"

Hearing her eldest brother's ruthless words, Meng Wan was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a crack in the ground and crawl in.

It turned out that in his heart, he was just a stranger with unknown origins.

No wonder every time she tried to please her eldest brother, his attitude was very cold.

God knows how much she hopes that her eldest brother can treat her like Shen Jiaojiao, discipline her strictly and treat her as a real family member.

"Ah Hui, Wan'er is your biological sister!" Mrs. Meng was furious.

"It's your business if you want to be coaxed around by Meng Wan. Don't expect me to have feelings for this so-called sister."

As he spoke, his sharp eyes glanced at Chen Yuanli who was standing aside.

He was a little taller than Chen Yuanli, and his deep eyes exuded an icy chill, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"Chen Yuanli, you are fine."

This gloomy compliment made Chen Yuanli's legs weak and almost unable to stand.

"Brother, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have thought about Wan'er's suffering outside for more than ten years and indulged her so much..."

Chen Yuanli hurriedly stepped forward to accuse him.

"Of course you are wrong. I have only been away from the house for half a year, and you just let Meng Wan humiliate Shen Jiaojiao to this point."

Meng Hui paused and said three words in a solemn tone, "Let's make peace."

"what?!"

Except for Meng Wan, several people in the room screamed at the same time.

Shen Jiaojiao did not dare to disobey him directly, so she could only express her attitude tremblingly, "Brother, I don't want to..."

Mr. Meng also scolded him with a serious face: "Ah Hui, don't fool around! How can marriage be a piece of cake? As an elder brother, you don't expect the two of them to live in harmony, but instead want to be separated. What's the point of this?" Mrs. Meng added He glared at Shen Jiaojiao unhappily.

For her sake, Ah Hui actually said such treacherous words, and even asked the two of them to reconcile regardless of the Meng family's face...

Mrs. Meng's heart sank slightly. The engagement ceremony between Shen Jiaojiao and Chen Yuanli was so loud that even the ordinary people in Lin'an City knew about it.

If the two separate at this juncture, there is no telling what will happen.

Maybe the reputation of robbing her brother-in-law will fall on Meng Wan!

There was a difference between closeness and distance, and Mrs. Meng felt even more sorry for her own daughter who had endured hardships outside for many years, and would never allow Meng Wan's reputation to be ruined.

Perhaps this gaze was too fiery, Shen Jiaojiao noticed it keenly and raised her eyes to look over.

Mrs. Meng had withdrawn her gaze and was admonishing her eldest son earnestly.

"Mom knows that you care about Jiaojiao, but this is just a small matter. How can you just make peace with her and leave her? What if Jiaojiao and Lihou can't get married?"

Shen Jiaojiao took a breath and subconsciously grabbed her sworn brother's sleeves, fearing that he would say something like 'marry me'.

Meng Hui glanced back at her and said calmly: "My sister, I will take care of her."

No matter how much Mr. Meng and others persuaded him, he couldn't get enough of it and was determined to reconcile the two of them.

When Chen Yuanli saw something was wrong, he gritted his teeth and knelt down towards Meng Hui.

"Brother, I know it's my unfair treatment that makes you angry. I promise you that I will treat Jiaojiao kindly from now on. If you can't do that, if you want us to reconcile again, I will have nothing to say."

Seeing this scene, Shen Jiaojiao felt inexplicably funny.

This person doesn't really love her, he just sees that his sworn brother values ​​her and doesn't want to divorce her.

If her sworn brother didn't make the decision for her, he might have allowed Meng Wan to bully her until she died.

Meng Hui turned around again and glanced at her with a half-smile, as if he was mocking her for choosing a 'good man'.

She lowered her head and said nothing.

Seeing her quail appearance, Meng Hui suddenly laughed softly, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"It seems that Yuan Li treats Shen Jiaojiao with deep affection."

Before Chen Yuanli could answer, Shen Jiaojiao suddenly snorted.

A blush quickly appeared on her cheeks, and her earlobes were as red as agate.

Seeing everyone looking over, Shen Jiaojiao quickly lowered her head and whispered, "Yuan Li and I are of the same mind."

With her delicate and timid appearance, her "friendship" for Chen Yuanli can be seen at a glance.

The hands that moved around her waist tightened quickly.

Shen Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and refused to make any more noise.

Who would have thought that this seemingly charming sworn brother would pinch her waist in front of everyone!

Fortunately, Meng Hui was blocking the front, so no one else could see the slightest clue.

Shen Jiaojiao's tense nerves relaxed slightly.

She had no personal feelings for her adopted brother, and he only pinched her waist because he felt pity for her being treated harshly by Chen Yuanli and was angry at her for indulging Chen Yuanli.

On second thought, she found a suitable excuse for Meng Hui.

"Yes! Jiaojiao and I are of the same mind!" Chen Yuanli looked at Shen Jiaojiao excitedly, his eyes full of affection.

Shen Jiaojiao didn't look at him.

She was holding the big hand on her waist tightly, trying her best to cover up her gaffe.

Meng Hui quickly retracted her hand and turned to look at Meng Wan who was hiding behind Mrs. Meng.

"What do you think of Wan'er?" The corners of his mouth curled up in a cold arc, but his tone was almost coaxing and intimate.

"If Wan'er wants them to break off the engagement, I will definitely make the decision for you, as you wish."

"Sworn brother!" Shen Jiaojiao was anxious.

How could the sworn brother ask Meng Wan about this kind of thing?
Meng Wan longed to be the official wife, so how could she refuse? !
