C502 Nocturnal Conversation Under Tree

"No money?" Chu Rou did not believe Shangguan Yingfei's words at all. She glanced at the car outside and sneered: "If I'm not wrong, the car outside would have landed at least three million. It looks like it's quite new. "Also, that area outside is mine too. Could you please take your car away quickly?"

"You can't sell this car. That was my grandpa's birthday present before he died. It's the only thing that I can't bear to part with." Shangguan Yingfei said firmly.

"Then go sleep on the street. Your Shangguan Family has already become hostile towards my brother. I have no reason to keep you."

With that, Chu Rou pulled Shangguan Yingfei's hand away from the door frame and prepared to close the door.

"Xiao Rou, who's that? Why didn't you invite him in?" Suddenly, Meng Lan's voice sounded from within the room.

"Mom, no one, just a scoundrel. I'll chase her away immediately." Chu Rou turned around and shouted.

Who would have thought that Shangguan Yingfei would take advantage of this opportunity to push Chu Rou away, slip under her armpit, and quickly pounce in front of Meng Lan, saying miserably, "Mom, I'm your daughter-in-law. I just came to visit you today, but little sister actually wants to lock me out."

"Ah?" A daughter-in-law? You. When did you become my daughter-in-law? " Meng Lan still remembered, last time at the Meng Family, this girl seemed to have fought with Lee Hongtian.

"Mom, don't listen to her nonsense. Last time, when we kidnapped you, Shangguan Heeyan was her little brother. She's not my sister-in-law anymore. I don't know what kind of crazy trouble she got onto my brother to be his girlfriend." Chu Rou said angrily as she ran over to pull Shangguan Yingfei away.

"Ah?" This … "What's going on?"

Meng Lan didn't know what to say. She didn't know if it was because she was afraid of the kidnapping incident, but she unconsciously took a few steps back.

It just so happened that Tianying and Liu had also heard the three words "Shangguan Family". They immediately rushed over and shielded Meng Lan and Chu Rou behind them. The two of them looked at Shangguan Yingfei with vigilance.

As for Zheng Loong, he ran in front of Lau Ruxue as if he was about to face a great enemy.

"What are you doing here?" Liu asked.

Tianying didn't say anything, but his hand was already placed on the small of his back, where a gun was lying.

"I'm here to rely on you." Shangguan Yingfei said sincerely.

"Hoho, you want to join us? I think you are here to pick on my mother's Green Jade Treasure Box, right? " Chu Rou sneered.

"Yes." Shangguan Yingfei said again.

Tianying frowned as the pistol appeared in his hand. He pointed it at Shangguan Yingfei and said coldly, "Leave this place or die."

Shangguan Yingfei: "Mom …"

Meng Lan frowned and shouted: "Miss Shangguan, my son Lee Hongtian already has a wife, please behave yourself."

"All right, Auntie, listen to me." Shangguan Yingfei said anxiously: "I admit, I really do want to get the Green Jade Treasure Box in your hands, but I promise you, I will definitely make you give it to me willingly, and not through any other despicable means. I already have nothing to do with Shangguan Family now, and what I said to Chu Rou's sister just now that I have nowhere to go is true.

"Auntie, what should we do?" Liu looked at Meng Lan and asked.

Lee Hongtian was not home, and Meng Lan was the oldest at home. Although he and Tianying could just throw Shangguan Yingfei out directly, they still had to ask for Meng Lan's opinion.

Meng Lan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Xiao Rou, Miss Shangguan doesn't seem to be lying. After all, we have quite a number of rooms in this house, so you should go and arrange one for her to sleep in later. It's time for dinner."

Chu Rou was so angry that she stomped her feet and shouted anxiously, "Mom …"

Meng Lan cut her off with a wave of her hand and said gently: "Alright, Shangguan Family is Shangguan Family, and Miss Shangguan is Miss Shangguan. I can see that Miss Shangguan has no ill intentions, and furthermore, am I not surnamed Meng in your eyes? "Tianying, put away your guns. Liu, Zheng Loong, you don't have to be so nervous. Go wash your hands and eat."

"Yes, Auntie." Tianying, Liu, and Zheng Loong answered in unison.

Chu Rou stomped her foot and glared fiercely at Shangguan Yingfei. However, she didn't say anything else. Even if her mother had spoken, she couldn't resist.

After the meal, the atmosphere was very strange.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Shangguan Yingfei, with fury, curiosity, admiration, and vigilance in their eyes.0

Only Shangguan Yingfei acted as if nothing had happened and ate the rice in big mouthfuls. As she ate, she even vaguely praised Meng Lan's cooking skills.

Chu Rou gritted her teeth at the sight. She couldn't remember what it tasted like when she ate it.

After dinner, Meng Lan ordered Chu Rou to wash the dishes, which was a rare occurrence. Chu Rou had no choice but to go obediently, and Lau Ruxue followed her into the kitchen to help out.

As for Liu and the other men, Meng Lan instructed them to do whatever they wanted.

However, she called for Shangguan Yingfei herself. The two of them went into the courtyard and sat down on the stone bench under the shade of a tree.

Meng Lan spoke lightly, "Miss Shangguan, can you tell me why we have to leave the Shangguan Family?"

He didn't probe her, nor did he doubt her. Just saying that meant that Meng Lan believed everything Shangguan Yingfei said to be true.

Lili was surprised for a moment, but at the same time, she was a little touched. She smiled and said, "Aunt, please call me Yingfei. As for why I have to leave the Shangguan Family, it might be because I can't bear to see the way they do things."

Meng Lan said, "There are always many schemes and schemes behind the glory of every family. I believe you should be aware of this."

She planned to follow her own thoughts and continue to smile, "Yes, especially in a large clan like Shangguan Family, if family affection could be used as a bargaining chip, what's the point of a family like this?"

"Well said!" She looked at Shangguan Yingfei with a pained expression in her eyes as she said faintly, "You really are a bit like me back then. In the future, if you want to stay in this house, you can continue to do so. But when Hongtian comes back, if he drives you away, I won't speak up for you."

"Ah?" He dares to disobey you? " The happiness that had just been ignited in Shangguan Yingfei's heart instantly vanished.

Meng Lan smiled and said, "When a child grows up, he will eventually have his own thoughts."

There was some meaning behind her words, but before Shangguan Yingfei could fully understand the meaning behind them, Meng Lan had already stood up and was walking into the house.

"Auntie, why do you believe me?" Shangguan Yingfei shouted at Meng Lan's back.

Meng Lan didn't stop her footsteps. She said in a soft voice, "When you begged us to take you in, the light in your eyes also appeared in mine."

Eh?

What did that mean?

Shangguan Yingfei was at a loss again.
