Chapter 38

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Compared to the handsome guy on the balcony, Meng Jiao was really ugly. She touched the lump on her forehead that hurt so much that it made her gasp. She hated Meng Yao and An Xin again.

Meng Wei entered the ward carefully.

Meng Jiao had never seen such a Meng Wei in her two lifetimes.

“Tsk! How did you end up like this?” Meng Wei looked at Meng Jiao and frowned.

Meng Jiao was expressionless. With her face, it was not very obvious no matter what expression she made.

“Does it still hurt? Tell me what you want to eat!” Meng Wei softened his voice.

Meng Jiao shook her head and said, “Where’s Mother and Father? Are they angry at me? Did I embarrass them?”

Meng Wei’s gaze shifted and said, “Father and Mother won’t be angry with you. You didn’t lose face. They’re dealing with Meng Yao’s matter.”

Meng Wei had a straightforward personality and said whatever he wanted. He was not good at lying, nor was he good at hiding.

“Yao? What happened to Yao?” Meng Jiao asked curiously.

Meng Wei opened his mouth and felt a little awkward, but he still chose to tell the truth, “I heard that the people who beat you were instructed by Meng Yao. Father and Mother were very angry. He even wanted to send Meng Yao away, saying that she wasn’t the daughter of the Meng family anyway.”

It turned out that things had actually come to this point. It seemed that An Xin was forced into a corner. Meng Yao’s little trick to win over the hearts of the people would be seen through by the adults of each family. It would not work.

Seeing Meng Wei’s expression, Meng Jiao hurriedly said, “How could this matter be related to Yao? When I entered the classroom, Yao was crying on the table. She didn’t seem to do well this time. Those people hitting me had nothing to do with Yao!”

Meng Wei looked at Meng Jiao gratefully. He felt that Meng Jiao was really sensible. She was beaten beyond recognition, but she still spoke up for Meng Yao. Yet, Meng Yao kept saying that Meng Jiao deliberately provoked everyone to beat Meng Jiao so that Meng Jiao could frame Meng Yao.

‘How did Yao become like that? No wonder Father said that if one was not of the Meng family’s bloodline, one could not be part of the family through education.’ Meng Wei thought.

“Jiao, do you know that they don’t like you?” Meng Wei hesitated for a moment and asked tactfully.

Meng Jiao smiled, although the smile on her face was quite ugly. She said, “Wei, I don’t care about whether they like me. I only care about whether my parents, brothers, sisters, and grandparents like me. My good grades are not for my classmates to see. I just want to prove to my family that I’m a child of the Meng family and that I’m equally outstanding.”

Meng Jiao’s eyes were filled with pride. This was the goal she had always strived for in her previous life.

Meng Wei pulled Meng Jiao’s hand that was not injected with the needle and praised, “Jiao, you’re very outstanding. Everyone in the family will like you!”

‘They “will” like me.’ Meng Jiao thought.

Meng Jiao understood Meng Wei’s words. She also knew that the person who could not like her was Meng Yao. In Meng Wei’s heart, and even in Ning Jia’s heart, Meng Yao was a member of the Meng family. No matter what she did, she was still a member of the Meng family.

But it did not matter. Sooner or later, Meng Jiao would show them what kind of person Meng Yao was.

Meng Wei sat there for a while before leaving. Meng Jiao kept asking him to plead with her parents that her injuries had nothing to do with Meng Yao.

Meng Jiao’s pleading would make Meng Yao’s defense even more powerless.

In the middle of the night, Meng Jiao heard a sound next door in a daze. She suddenly woke up and listened carefully.

With a bang, it felt like the chair had fallen to the ground.

Meng Jiao lifted the blanket and got out of bed. Just as she walked to the door, she felt that something was wrong. The lights in the corridor were very dim, and it was quiet outside. There seemed to be no sound from the next door.

Meng Jiao thought for a moment and retreated to the small balcony. The small balcony was connected by only a fence. She should be able to observe the situation in the room next door.

However, when she got close to the fence, she suddenly smelled a fragrance. This smell was a little strange. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind. She thought of what it was and her expression changed.

Without hesitation, she used her bandaged hand to support herself and jumped over the fence. She bent down and hid under the windowsill, carefully looking into the room.

The handsome man was lying in the middle of the ground, seemingly unconscious. There was an overturned chair beside him, which seemed to have been pulled down by him before he fainted.

A man in black, wearing a mask and a hat, was standing by the bed and looking at the patient. He reached out and pulled over the medicine bottle that was being infused. He held the syringe in his hand and wanted to inject something into the medicine bottle.
