Chapter 524 The Niece She Chose for Herself

Guo Qingqing's face grew increasingly grim, and she asked through gritted teeth, "Are you saying that Mia went live without my knowledge and broadcast my phone conversation with Tang Jiangshui?"

“Of course not.” A mutual friend shook his head. “It was Mia’s dog, Watermelon, who overheard you telling Tang Jiangshui to stab Mia to death.”

Guo Qingqing: "..."

She frowned, utterly speechless. "What kind of joke are you talking about? How could a dog possibly understand me?"

Her mutual friend was too lazy to explain much to her, saying, "Anyway, Guo Qingqing, I look down on you."

She glanced at the prices on the menu, then handed half of it to Guo Qingqing, saying, "You don't need to treat me to this meal; we'll split the bill."

After their mutual friend finished speaking, he casually blocked her on WeChat, picked up his bag, and left.

There's no need to keep in touch with someone who would readily suggest their ex-boyfriend stab their friend to death.

Guo Qingqing was furious and grumbled all the way home.

She opened the door and went inside. Just as she was about to close it, someone suddenly rushed in.

"Guo Qingqing!"

Guo Qingqing frowned in displeasure when she saw Tang Jiangshui. "What are you doing here? Get out of here right now!"

"You bitch!" Tang Jiangshui suddenly reached out and grabbed her neck. "Mia didn't introduce you to any men, so why are you breaking up with me?"

"I..." Guo Qingqing's face flushed red, and her breathing became labored, "You..."

Tang Jiangshui slapped her hard again, "Answer me!"

"Let go...first." Guo Qingqing's face was full of pain. "Let go...first."

Tang Jiangshui did release her, but then kicked and shoved her.

Guo Qingqing was beaten so badly she crawled on the ground, crying pitifully.

The next day, Jiang Yuan and Fu Xiaoxiao invited Zhou Shuyu to dinner.

Jiang Yuan asked Zhou Shuyu to help Sun Aidi hire a lawyer.

Upon hearing about Sun Aidi's ordeal, Zhou Shuyu immediately agreed, "I'll take care of it. The young girl has had it so tough."

"Okay." Jiang Yuan smiled slightly. "Then I'll leave it to you."

Zhou Shuyu said solemnly, "You can rest assured that I can handle things."

"Of course I'm at ease," Jiang Yuan nodded with a smile.

"I need to go to the restroom," Fu Xiaoxiao stood up. "Do you want to go?"

Jiang Yuan stood up and said, "I'll stay with you."

The two walked out of the private room and continued to the end of the corridor.

Jiang Yuan came out of the restroom and stood outside waiting for Fu Xiaoxiao.

Hearing footsteps, she thought it was Fu Xiaoxiao coming out, turned around to look, and the smile on her lips instantly froze.

Meng Zhiwei was also surprised to run into Jiang Yuan here, and a look of astonishment flashed across her face.

Jiang Yuan calmly met her gaze.

Meng Zhiwei pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then took the initiative to greet her, "Hello, Jiang Yuan."

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked with a half-smile, "Ms. Meng, is there something you need?"

Meng Zhiwei pursed her lips, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes.

No manners at all!

"It's nothing," Meng Zhiwei said, brushing past her shoulder as she left.

Fu Xiaoxiao came out of the restroom and happened to see her back. She put her arm around Jiang Yuan's shoulder and asked, "Yuan Yuan, who was that person just now?"

Jiang Yuan chuckled softly, "Meng Zhiwei."

What did she say to you?

"I just said hello."

Fu Xiaoxiao found it intriguing, "Isn't it funny?"

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly. "I also found it quite funny, so I asked her if she needed anything." "And then?"

"She must have been so angry that she left."

"Hahaha~" Fu Xiaoxiao was instantly amused. "That's hilarious."

On her way back to the private room, Meng Zhiwei felt increasingly frustrated.

She regretted greeting Jiang Yuan earlier.

They didn't appreciate it at all and even asked her if she needed anything.

Who is this person? They have absolutely no manners.

Upon entering the private room, Meng Yunlan quickly noticed Meng Zhiwei's low spirits.

She asked softly, "Auntie, are you unhappy?"

Meng Zhiwei looked up at her delicate and pretty face, and all her anger instantly vanished.

She gave a gentle and loving smile and said softly, "Lanlan, I'm fine, you should eat more."

"Okay." Meng Yunlan nodded and used serving chopsticks to put food on Meng Zhiwei and Wei Fangfei's plates. "Auntie and Aunt Fangfei should eat more too."

"Thank you, Lanlan," Wei Fangfei said politely.

She was chatting with Jiang Yuan on WeChat when she heard that Jiang Yuan was also eating here, and her face lit up with surprise.

"Fangfei, what's making you so happy?" Meng Zhiwei asked with a smile.

“So Yuan Yuan eats here too,” Wei Fangfei replied instinctively.

"Yuan Yuan?" Meng Yunlan asked in surprise, "Which Yuan Yuan?"

Meng Zhiwei smiled and looked at her, "Do I know her?"

Wei Fangfei opened her mouth to answer, but then suddenly remembered their relationship and hesitated for two seconds before saying, "It's Jiang Yuan."

As soon as the words were spoken, the smiles on Meng Yunlan and Meng Zhiwei's faces began to falter.

An eerie silence fell over the air.

Wei Fangfei didn't care about their feelings at the moment. She stood up and said, "Lanlan, Weiwei, you two take your time eating. I'm going to go and talk to Yuanyuan."

Meng Yunlan forced an awkward smile. "Okay."

Meng Zhiwei pursed her lips and remained silent.

After Wei Fangfei left, the smile on Meng Yunlan's face vanished instantly.

She stared down at the food in her bowl, her hands clenched tightly on her stomach, her anger practically spitting fire.

Today, she specially asked her aunt to invite Wei Fangfei out for dinner, hoping to improve her relationship with her. Unexpectedly, this lonely old woman abandoned her to go find Jiang Yuan!

Simply sick!
Suppressing all her emotions, Meng Zhiwei looked up at Meng Yunlan and softly called out, "Lanlan, eat more."

Meng Yunlan gently shook her head, "Auntie, you eat, I don't have much of an appetite."

"No appetite?" Meng Zhiwei frowned and asked worriedly, "What's wrong, Lanlan? Are you feeling unwell?"

Meng Yunlan said softly, "It's nothing."

Seeing this, Meng Zhiwei sighed helplessly, "Lanlan, you can tell your aunt anything you're thinking."

“Auntie.” Meng Yunlan looked at her with reddened eyes, “If you want to go find Yuan Yuan like Aunt Fangfei, you can go. Don’t worry about me. It’s okay for me to stay here alone.”

"Lanlan." Meng Zhiwei's tone was filled with heartache and guilt. "I'm not going. You know, in my heart, you are my dearest niece."

"Thank you, Auntie." Meng Yunlan said, her voice choked with emotion. "Auntie is also the person I love most, so I didn't want to put her in a difficult position because of me."

"It's not difficult." Meng Zhiwei got up and walked to her side, took her hand gently, and said in a very gentle and earnest voice, "No matter what happens, your aunt will only recognize you as her niece. Your aunt can swear that."

“No need to swear.” Meng Yunlan quickly shook her head and said softly, “I believe everything Auntie says.”

"That's good." Meng Zhiwei smiled with relief and gently stroked her hair. "Then, Lanlan, please be happier, okay?"

This is enough to prove that what she did in the past was right.

Meng Yunlan was the niece she chose for herself.
