He only found out about this when Pei Yuan accidentally let it slip yesterday.

Xie Yanci's first reaction was to be angry.

Even though the other party was his mother, he showed his anger with a cold face.

From childhood to adulthood, men have been emotionally stable.

Emotional ups and downs other than indifference rarely occur.

But now, he is angry because of a woman.

Pei Yuan felt very fresh.

She had met Meng Xingluan. In fact, regardless of his second marriage status and family background, he matched her son in every aspect.

The thank-you speech that had been ascetic for 24 years finally fell into the hands of a woman.

As a mother, Pei Yuan didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy.

The Xie family values ​​family status, but Meng Xingluan never reaches the threshold.

but……

There is nothing I can do if my son likes it.

So Pei Yuan took the initiative to apologize and promised not to go to Meng Xingluan behind his back again.

Xie Yanci still didn't calm down.

In the end, Pei Yuan had to give Xie Yanci his ancestral emerald necklace.

——"This is what your grandma left to me. Now I am giving it to you. As for who you want to give it to, it has nothing to do with me."

Today Xie Yanci came here with a necklace to apologize.

Hearing the sound, the woman looked up.

The fair and beautiful facial features make people's hearts tremble, Xie Yanci restrained his expression.

Try to act as normal as possible.

Can't be seen.

"how do you know?"

"I apologize to you on her behalf. This is a gift..."

"Mrs. Xie is very funny, no need to apologize."

The man has already taken out the gift.

In his broad, cold palm lay a retro wooden box.

The carved patterns on it are exquisite without any flaws.

Regardless of what's inside, the box itself is pretty pricey.

"No, if it weren't for me, she wouldn't have come to you privately... Miss Meng, if you don't accept it, my conscience will be troubled."

Xie Yanci said this in a low, magnetic voice with sincere eyes.

It's as if she's being unforgivable if she doesn't accept it.

"If I accept it, I won't be able to live with my conscience."

Thank you speech: "...This is an apology gift."

"No need, your mother didn't do anything to make me angry, she just chatted and had a meal by the way."

The emotion on the woman's face was dull, but according to Xie Yanci's understanding of her, the other party was really not angry.

But gifts still have to be given.

The thank you speech changed the topic.

"I heard about what happened yesterday. I'm sorry, I couldn't come over right away."

"Why are you saying sorry? She is here to target me and has nothing to do with you."

"...I have already said hello to the police station and will keep her in custody for a few more days within the legal scope."

This matter is undoubtedly drizzle to the Xie family.

The Zhou family doesn't have the foresight to come and bully the people he cares about, that's good, they have made a new enemy.

Oh no, he and Zhou Yubai have been enemies for a long time.

Now the Zhou family is supported by Zhou Yubai alone.

Xie Yanci's eyes darkened.

He wanted to see how long the other party could last.

Beijing People's Hospital.

Meng Jinan sat next to Meng's father, lowering his head and peeling an apple.

Meng's father's legs were hung with gauze. After the operation, the doctor said that there would be at least three months of recovery.

This also means that during this time, he can't do anything.

The man looked haggard. Where could he still be as bright as before?

Most of his hair has turned white, and wrinkles have crept into the corners of his eyes.

The whole person is much older.

"An An."

Father Meng called him.

Meng Jinan didn't raise his head, only hummed in a muffled voice.

"...Did you return the jade pendant at home?"

Hearing this, the young man paused in his peeling movements, then raised his head, panic flashing through his eyes.

"Dad, you know everything?"

Father Meng's eyes suddenly dimmed.

He opened his mouth and finally swallowed back the words that had reached his throat.

After a moment, he said again in a hoarse voice: "Do you think...your mother and I have changed?"

Meng Jinan lowered his head again.

Struggling emotions flashed in his eyes, and finally, he asked in a hoarse voice: "So, was it really you who stole that jade pendant?"

The word "steal" made the man on the hospital bed suddenly stiffen.

His expression became unnatural.

But still didn't admit it.

"What does stealing mean? She is my daughter! Shouldn't she help when the family is in trouble?"

If it were before, Meng Jinan would still think he was right.

But now...

"But that's still stealing, isn't it?"

The ward fell into silence for a while, and the atmosphere was quiet and strange.

No matter how Father Meng explained it, it all seemed feeble.

"Dad, those things on the Internet were also done by you, right? You wanted to use public opinion to force Sister and Meng Xingluan to come back, but did you see the reverse? Did you really abandon her back then?"

This is something Meng Jinan cannot accept no matter what.

He always thought that Meng Xingluan's loss was just an accident, but the evidence was all in front of him.

It was clear that they could find her back then, but because of someone else's words, Meng's father and Meng's mother gave up.

And in order to appease his conscience, he adopted an orphan.

The boy's eyes were red and his chest was heaving up and down.

Father Meng was speechless.

He just kept saying no.

It was at this time that Meng Tingyao walked in from outside the ward.

Her face was pale and fragile, and her body was as thin as a piece of paper.

She heard everything Meng Jinan said just now.

"An'an, you can't talk to dad like that."

Meng Jinan glanced at her and did not call her sister as usual.

Meng Tingyao's body shook.

"If you want to blame the jade pendant, blame me. I gave my parents the idea. Don't make them sad."

The woman showed a stubborn and pitiful expression.

In her words, she admitted that it was her idea to steal the jade pendant, but with such a scene and expression, it was difficult for people to believe that she was the mastermind.

Meng Jinan clenched his fists, lowered his head and said nothing.

"An'an, you are the only breadwinner in the family now. If you have any grievances, you can point them at me. My parents are still sick and can't stand the stimulation."

Meng Tingyao said again.

She was thinking and worrying about Meng's father and Meng's mother with every word she said, but Meng's father still didn't feel the slightest disturbance in his heart.

Father Meng stared at Meng Tingyao for a long time, and then asked, "Did the Zhou family really allow you to come in?"

The tone and words together made Meng Tingyao's heart ache.

She forced herself to stand up straight.

Show a fragile smile.

"Dad, don't worry, Yu Bai will marry me."
