When Ning Jia looked up, she saw Meng Yao talking to An Xin in the gold shop opposite. Ning Jia’s heart skipped a beat and she said to Meng Jiao, “Jiao, go look for Yao. I’m going to look at a cosmetic product.”

Meng Jiao looked around the shop and nodded.

When An Xin heard that Meng Jiao was the daughter that the Meng family had brought back from the countryside, she was shocked.

Meng Yao’s eyes were brimming with tears. She said, “Anxin, I’m the adopted daughter of the Meng family. Although my parents and brothers love me as much as they used to, Meng Jiao is the real daughter of the Meng family. I feel like I’m an extra!”

An Xin held Meng Yao’s hand and said, “Meng Yao, how can you think that? How can you be extra? Meng Jiao was the redundant one! Don’t worry. Mr. and Mrs. Meng and your brothers love you very much. So what if she’s their daughter? She’s just a country bumpkin from the countryside in the Meng family, hmph! How could she stay? You’re the real Miss Meng!”

“Anxin, having you as a friend is my greatest happiness!” Meng Yao said sincerely.

An Xin shook Meng Yao’s hand and said, “Cheer up. Don’t let that country bumpkin affect our mood!”

Meng Yao frowned and said, “Anxin, you have to be careful of her. She’s quite bad. When my father and mother aren’t around, she always says strange things to me, reminding me that I’m not their biological child. I can’t say anything either.”

“Heh, she’s really shameless! Hmph, don’t be afraid! Isn’t she going to be in the same class as us? When school starts, we’ll teach her a lesson! We must kick her out of school! I must help you vent your anger!” said An Xin with righteous indignation.

Meng Yao was moved to tears by An Xin’s words.

An Xin felt even more indignant for Meng Yao and listed Meng Jiao as one of the top ten villains in her heart.

To make Meng Yao happy, An Xin chose a bracelet to give her, and Meng Yao also gave her one in return.

When Meng Jiao came in, she saw the two of them holding hands, and the two bracelets shone brightly.

“Yao.” Meng Jiao greeted.

An Xin’s face immediately turned cold and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Meng Jiao did not say anything and looked at Meng Yao.

Meng Yao pulled An Xin and said softly, “Anxin, don’t be like that. She’s my sister.”

Seeing Meng Yao show her soft side, An Xin felt even more uncomfortable.

An Xin crossed her arms and looked at Meng Jiao arrogantly. An Xin said, “Oh, then she must be Miss Jiao! As a younger sister, shouldn’t you give Meng Yao a greeting gift? And me, we’ll be classmates in the future. Our school has an unwritten rule. As a transfer student, you have to send gifts to every student. Miss Jiao, you can’t embarrass the Meng family! I think this bracelet is very good. Why don’t you give each of us one? There are fourteen girls in our class!”

An Xin’s face revealed a vicious smile.

Life was too depressing for them. Finally, they had a tool to relieve their stress. Of course, they had to make good use of it.

Everyone knew how much Meng Yao was favored in the Meng family. An Xin had been instructed by her parents since she was young to suck up to Meng Yao everywhere, so she was already used to doing everything perfectly for Meng Yao.

The little girl in front of them was almost a head shorter than them. It was easy for An Xin to deal with her.

Meng Jiao glanced at An Xin indifferently. She was too lazy to talk to brainless people. She walked straight to the counter of the gold bracelet and looked at it seriously.

The shop assistant, who was standing at the side, had already seen and heard everything clearly. She quickly went forward to introduce them to Meng Jiao.

Meng Jiao ignored the fancy designs and chose a pair of bracelets with dragon and phoenix engraved on them.

An Xin said contemptuously, “You’re indeed a country bumpkin. With your taste, you’re really a disgrace to the Meng family. Who would like this style other than the old lady?”

When Meng Jiao heard that, she looked up at An Xin and said indifferently, “Looks like I didn’t pick the wrong one.”

Then, Meng Jiao instructed the shop assistant to wrap those up for her.

Meng Jiao then pointed at the pearl earrings at the side and wanted to have a look.

Meng Yao finally reacted and asked in shock, “Are you buying it for Grandma and Mom?”

Meng Jiao’s gaze was still wandering around the counter. She answered, “That’s right!”

Meng Yao could not help but be annoyed. She thought, ‘Where did this wretched girl learn it from? She was so greedy, yet she knew how to curry favor!’

“Grandma and Mother don’t like these tacky things!” Meng Yao hurriedly stopped Meng Jiao.

Meng Jiao insisted that the shop assistant wrap up the earrings for her. Meng Jiao said, “It’s okay. I think it’s good. This is a little token of my appreciation to the elders!”

Meng Yao persisted, “Gifts should be something the other party likes. What’s the point if the other party doesn’t like what you give?!”
