Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After leaving the hospital, Meng Tang received a call and immediately told the driver, “To the Meng family manor.”

“Why are we going to the Meng family manor?” Ning Jia was very alert at the mention of the Meng family manor, and even her voice was a little sharp.

Meng Tang held Ning Jia’s shoulder and said, “Father called and said that the Lu family is coming for a visit. He asked us to go back and accompany them.”

Ning Jia realized that she had lost her composure and calmed down. She said, “Oh.”

Meng Tang had not told Ning Jia that Old Mr. Gong wanted Meng Yao and Gong Ling to be engaged. After thinking about it, Meng Tang decided to wait. After all, Old Mr. Gong had not left the ICU yet.

Meng Jiao’s mind was focused on the book in her hand as she carefully flipped through page by page.

“Meng Jiao, do you like traditional medicine that much?” Ning Jia could not help but ask.

In just a few days, Ning Jia realized that Meng Jiao was a very special child. Meng Jiao did not show any fear or cowardice toward the Meng family’s wealth. She also responded appropriately to everyone in the Meng family. Even when facing the tricky Old Mrs. Meng, she did not show any fear.

That made Ning Jia very gratified. After all, Meng Jiao was her daughter. Meng Jiao had a noble and dignified demeanor in her bones. Even Meng Yao, whom Ning Jia had carefully nurtured since childhood, could not do it.

Meng Jiao nodded and smiled. She said, “If I can become a great doctor like Master, I can be your exclusive doctor, Mother.”

Ning Jia caressed Meng Jiao’s head and kissed her gently on the forehead.

Meng Jiao’s body stiffened. She lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, “No one has ever treated me as well as you, Mother.”

Ning Jia and Meng Jiao hugged each other. She was clearly Ning Jia’s daughter, but she lacked love for so many years. Ning Jia was the one who had let her down.

SNAP!

The bracelet on Meng Yao’s hand suddenly broke, and small beads scattered everywhere.

“Oh no!” Meng Yao exclaimed.

Everyone’s gaze was attracted over. Meng Yao was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She said, “Mother, this is the bracelet you gave me. If it’s broken, how can I find the bead?”

Ning Jia took Meng Yao’s hand and looked at it. She said softly, “It’s okay. We’ll just go get another one.”

Meng Yao pouted and said, “But it’s very expensive. When we get to the Meng family manor later, you guys get into the house. I’ll look for it carefully. When I find all of them, I’ll take them to the shop to repair them.”

“When did our Meng Yao learn to be thrifty? It’s just a bracelet. It’s fine,” Ning Jia said with a smile.

Meng Yao pulled Meng Jiao’s hand through Ning Jia and said, “It was Jiao who taught me. When Jiao was young, she lived such a hard life, but I had always lived a luxurious life. When I think about it, I feel that I’ve let Jiao down. I can’t make up for what happened in the past. But in the future, I want to get rid of those bad habits. I also want to save money to do charity with you and help more poor children like Jiao.”

Ning Jia was very happy. She hugged Meng Yao and kissed her. She said, “Our Yao is really sensible.”

The corners of Meng Jiao’s lips curled up slightly. She thought, ‘Was Meng Yao provoked again? Was she going to start fighting back?’

When they arrived at the Meng family manor, everyone got out of the car. Meng Yao pulled Meng Jiao back and said, “Jiao, accompany me to look for it.”

“Alright,” Meng Jiao said with a smile.

Meng Tang gazed deeply at Meng Yao and signaled for a bodyguard to stay with them. Meng Tang and Ning Jia entered the house.

Meng Jiao did not know what Meng Yao was up to, but Meng Jiao guessed that the bracelet did not break by itself.

Meng Jiao helped Meng Yao to find the beads seriously. The space in the car was not big, and there were not many beads. It was not difficult to find them.

Meng Jiao handed the beads she found to Meng Yao. Meng Yao thanked her very gently and kindly. After putting the bead away, Meng Yao held Meng Jiao’s hand and said, “Jiao, let’s go.”

Meng Jiao remained calm and allowed Meng Yao to pull her.

Meng Jiao had already developed a conditioned reflex. No matter what Meng Yao said or did, Meng Jiao would think that Meng Yao must have hidden her motive and set a trap for Meng Jiao. Meng Yao had already caused Meng Jiao to develop PTSD.

“Hey! Raise your hands!” A person suddenly rushed out from the bushes and shouted.

“Ah!” Meng Jiao was caught off guard and squatted on the ground.

The bodyguard behind Meng Jiao quickly went forward and hugged Meng Jiao.

Meng Jiao’s heart almost jumped out of her chest. At that moment, she instinctively thought of Zhao Dong and instinctively hugged her head to prevent Zhao Dong from punching and kicking her.

“Hahahahaha.”

“Hehehehe.”

The happy laughter of a boy and a girl, as well as the broad embrace of the bodyguard, finally brought Meng Jiao back to her senses.

“Miss Jiao, don’t be afraid. It’s Young Master Lu who’s joking with you.” the bodyguard whispered in her ear.

Meng Jiao composed herself and looked at Meng Yao who was holding the other teenager’s hand and laughing wildly.

Meng Jiao had never been wrong about Meng Yao, but it was impossible to guard against her.

“Lu Chong, you finally got your way once. Are you happy?” Meng Yao laughed until he was out of breath, but his tone was full of flattery.
