Ning Jia pursed her lips and did not say anything. Meng Yao stepped forward and quietly held Ning Jia’s hand.
Ning Jia’s heart warmed. After all, Meng Yao was the child Ning Jia had raised since she was young. Meng Yao knew how to care for Ning Jia.
Seeing Meng Tang pulling Meng Jiao, Ning Jia heaved a sigh of relief, ‘At least he didn’t let the old madam trick another child.’
The servant standing at the door came in and reported, “Old Mr. Meng is back.”
Ning Jia heaved a sigh of relief, ‘Father-in-law is back, and my mother-in-law’s trouble has come to an end.’
Meng Jiao quietly turned her head and saw a spirited old man with silver hair striding in. Behind him was a tall and handsome young man. Meng Jiao’s heart could not help but beat faster.
They were her grandfather and elder brother. They were the few people in the Meng family who had always treated Meng Jiao well.
Wei Hui stood up with her son, daughter-in-law, and children to welcome them.
Meng An immediately saw the little girl standing beside Meng Tang. He stopped in his tracks and stood in front of Meng Jiao. He bent down and asked kindly, “You’re our Little Meng Jiao?”
Meng Jiao raised her head slightly, her eyes a little wet and said, “Hello, Grandpa! I’m Meng Jiao!”
Meng An was taken aback by her swiftness. He straightened up and reached out to touch her hand. He looked at his son, Meng Tang, and said, “She doesn’t look like a kid from the countryside.”
Meng Tang was also quite pleased. He said, “Yes, when I brought her back, she was already tortured beyond recognition. I didn’t expect to find her a sensible and obedient child. Even in such an environment, she didn’t lose the strength of the Meng family.”
Meng An lowered his gaze and looked at Meng Jiao. The corners of his lips curled up. He said, “Good child, if you survive a great disaster, you will definitely have good fortune.”
Meng An patted Meng Jiao’s thin shoulder and walked to his seat.
Meng Lin tugged at Meng Jiao’s hair and said softly, “I’m your brother, Meng Lin.”
“Lin,” said Meng Jiao as she looked up at Meng Lin.
Meng Lin smiled and nodded at his father. Then, he walked to the corner behind his grandfather and sat down.
In Meng Jiao’s memory, Meng Lin was calm and capable. Since he was sixteen, he had been studying and attending important meetings of the group with his grandfather. He was directly groomed as a successor.
Meng An had nurtured Meng Lin far more than their father.
However, because Meng Lin grew up by Wei Hui’s side, he was not very close to Ning Jia due to Wei Hui’s relationship with Ning Jia was not good.
This was Ning Jia’s lifelong regret. Wei Hui kept both her grandsons by her side, thinking that in the name of her good intentions, she had deprived Ning Jia’s right to raise her sons.
Meng Lin was a talent among men, an elite prodigy praised by everyone, but he was a man of few words and was not close to Ning Jia. Although Meng Wei was also smart and had no estrangement from Ning Jia, he was spoiled by Wei Hui. He was mischievous and always gave Ning Jia a headache.
When Meng Yao was twelve years old, Ning Jia was often reprimanded by Wei Hui and made a mistake that Meng Yao was not the Meng family’s biological daughter.
Now that Meng Jiao was back, judging from Wei Hui’s attitude during their first meeting, she would not like Meng Jiao either. The three of them were destined to be a thorn in Wei Hui’s eyes.
Ning Jia’s face turned cold.
Wei Hui glared at Ning Jia in disdain and thought, ‘I did not expect that after twenty years of marriage, Ning Jia did not teach Meng Jiao to hide her emotions. Such shrewdness really didn’t deserve to stand by my son’s side. My son was so outstanding, but he was so unlucky in marriage!’
“Why are you back so early today?” Wei Hui asked Meng An with a smile.
As long as Ning Jia was present, Wei Hui would always show her the propriety of a qualified wife.
Meng An frowned and did not look at his wife. Instead, he looked at his son, Meng Tang. Meng An said, “Something happened to the Gong family.”
Meng Tang was surprised, “The Gong family? What happened?”
Meng An gestured to his grandson, “Lin, tell him.”
Meng Lin walked over and stood by the armrest of Meng An’s sofa. The whole family looked at him in disbelief.
“Mr. and Mrs. Gong had a car accident and Old Mr. Gong had a heart attack and was admitted to the hospital. Gong Ling flew back from abroad to wait at the door of the operating room. When Old Mr. Gong was admitted to the ICU, Gong Ling fainted. The Gong family is currently in a mess and the situation is handled by the two young Mr. Gong.”
For a moment, the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
Meng Jiao stole a glance at Meng Yao. In Meng Jiao’s previous life, Gong Ling was Meng Yao’s fiancé. However, Meng Yao fell in love with Lu Chong, another scion of a wealthy family, and plotted against the Gong family with Lu Chong.
Both the Gong family and the Lu family had been friends with the Meng family for generations. However, in this generation, the three families had turned against each other because of Meng Yao.
But at that time, Meng Jiao had already left home, so she did not know the details and was not in the mood to find out.
Unexpectedly, after Meng Jiao had been reborn, the trajectory of some events changed.
