Chapter 569: Chapter 7: First Encounter (7)

“Tingting, we’ve known each other for so many years, and in that moment, I still thought of you in the worst way. I felt you betrayed me, and at that time, I lost control to the point I wanted to strangle you.”

“I know you too well, and after my anger subsided, I thought about it carefully. You’re not that kind of person. But Tingting, you were about to get married the next day, and as a girl, do you think you should go to such a chaotic bar? And your sister, Meng Jingjing, is scheming. Your father has tried multiple times to get her to marry me. You must know this in your heart, so why did you still go out with her?”

“If that man really did something to you that night, what do you think would happen?”

“If I hadn’t come to my senses, a rift would have developed between us. What would we do then? Do you still think you didn’t do anything wrong?”

Meng Ting was shocked. She didn’t expect so many things to happen in such a short time: “Brother Xin, I’m sorry, I won’t do it again in the future. I will be more careful from now on.”

Yun Zixin nodded, reminding her today to prevent Meng Ting from making the same mistake again in the future.

As for letting Meng Jingjing join the Yun Family, there’s no rush. Brother Zimo has mentioned that the other party is so eager, they will definitely bring it up again.

After that, the two went on a trip.

Over at the Meng Family, Meng Jingjing actually followed them abroad.

Even abroad, Yun Zimo didn’t relax and always had someone watching over.

He also made arrangements in advance at Yun Chaoyang’s house, or else it would be his responsibility if something happened while letting Meng Jingjing in.

Yun Zixin still lived at home, and it was spacious, with numerous drivers and servants.

So arranging things was quite easy.

A month later, Yun Zixin and Meng Ting returned, both with beaming smiles and rosy complexions, clearly happy from their trip.

They bought a lot of things and gave out gifts before going back to their room to unpack.

After a tiring journey, they were somewhat exhausted and planned to take a nap to rest.

When the two woke up from their nap, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Going downstairs, they saw a woman sitting in the living room chatting with Yun Zixin’s mother.

This woman really is a lingering ghost.

The person sitting there was Meng Jingjing.

One has to admit, though, this woman acts quite convincingly.

Meng Ting was cultivated meticulously by the Meng Family, so her every word and action were full of grace.

But this Meng Jingjing came from a remote mountain village, yet in such a short time, sitting there, she looked quite pleasing to the eye, and she spoke appropriately. Her father-in-law must have put in a lot of effort.

Seeing Yun Zixin and Meng Ting come down, Meng Jingjing stood up calmly, greeted them, and then sat back down, displaying excellent manners.

“Zixin, Tingting, you’re down. I’ll leave Jingjing to you then. I have an appointment and need to head out.”

Yun Zixin’s mother, having nothing to do usually, liked to go out with friends for shopping, strolling, and visiting beauty salons.

She had made an appointment today, originally for three thirty, but Meng Jingjing couldn’t seem to understand human language and stayed there, leaving her with no choice. As the host, she couldn’t just leave.

Although Meng Jingjing kept saying she didn’t need to mind her and that she could just wait.

It was really frustrating that even though she knew Zixin and Tingting had just come back and were probably tired, she stayed anyway, even when she knew the host had something to do. Truly incomprehensible.

As someone who watched Meng Ting grow up, she really couldn’t develop any good feelings toward Meng Jingjing.

“Brother-in-law, sister, you’re finally back. I have something to discuss with you.”

Meng Ting frowned. Meng Jingjing’s address made her a bit uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could say. With Meng Jingjing being recognized by her father, calling her sister, she couldn’t exactly make a fuss and tell her to stop, right?

“Sister, I know my arrival created a rift between father and mother, and that’s my fault. But sister, I had no choice.”

At this moment, Meng Jingjing’s face was covered in tears, and with her natural beauty, even without makeup, she looked pitiful yet possessed a fatal allure.

“Sister, there are some things I haven’t told you. If my mother hadn’t had an accident, I wouldn’t have come to the Capital City. My mother passed away, my grandparents didn’t care about me, and my uncle was actually willing to take me in. I was very touched at the time, but I didn’t realize how dangerous human nature could be.”

Meng Jingjing was still crying, but Meng Ting felt inexplicably sad.

“My uncle was a loafer, and the wife in his family was very weak. After taking me in, they treated me pretty well at first, and I felt I needed to repay my uncle. I took care of all the household chores in my uncle’s home. I didn’t expect to accidentally overhear my uncle talking about selling me to a hooligan in the neighboring village. I was terrified.”

“That’s when I knew what my uncle was up to. I’d lost my mother and had no more shelter, so I became a prized possession in other people’s eyes.”

“It’s because I had no other option that I sought refuge with my father, sister. I didn’t mean to, really. My mother understood it too, that her relationship with my father was just an accident back then. Sister, during this month I’ve talked a lot with father, and he’s decided to explain everything to mother. They reconciled not long ago and are now traveling together.”

Meng Ting listened, feeling a sense of relief. Is this true? If so, that would be wonderful.

Meng Ting, kind-hearted as always, felt a bit of pity for Meng Jingjing after hearing her story.

They talked for quite a while until it was almost dark, and then they invited Meng Jingjing to stay for dinner.

Later, they even assigned a driver to send Meng Jingjing home.

However, knowing that Meng Jingjing was alone at the Meng Family residence, Meng Ting felt a twinge of concern.

Throughout it all, Yun Zixin said nothing about Meng Ting’s actions. He’s figured it out, this girl is the kind who never learns her lesson.

It seems Brother Zimo was right, just let them be for now and see what that woman really intends to do.

If she’s really sincere, then just treat her as an additional sister and send some dowries or something when the time comes.

But if there’s an ulterior motive, then don’t blame him later.

That night, Meng Ting called her mother and found out that her father and mother really did reconcile and were traveling outside. Meng Ting’s mood improved a lot.

As for that Meng Jingjing, she wasn’t as hostile anymore.

Afterwards, Meng Jingjing came every day to find Meng Ting, to chat, and occasionally go out shopping together, seemingly without any ulterior moves.

Meng Ting increasingly placed this sister in her heart.

On this day, the two made plans to try out a new restaurant. Meng Ting had dressed up beautifully in advance, waiting for Meng Jingjing’s arrival.
