Chapter 923
Chapter 923
Yuan Youan has never paid any attention to me. When I took the initiative to say hello just now, his expression was extremely cold.
But I didn't expect that he would take the initiative to answer my question at this moment.
Because it was unexpected, I didn’t know how to answer for a moment.
It was still Yuan Jianing. She patted the back of my hand and said in a soothing tone, "Mother is a little unhappy today and is too lazy to move. Father is upstairs to comfort her, but they should be able to come down soon. Mengmeng, you just sit here and relax."
Yuan Jianing's words surprised me even more than Yuan Youan's just now.
I was surprised at her calmness and also surprised at how she addressed her as Sister Min.
Sister Min obviously doesn't like this pair of siblings. Last time, Sister Min had a big fight with Mr. Yuan because of Yuan Youan, and the two even separated for a night.
However, Yuan Jianing actually called Sister Min mother.
Perhaps, Sister Min just doesn't like Yuan Youan, and should not be so repulsive to Yuan Jianing. After all, Yuan Jianing and Yuan Youan have completely opposite personalities and temperaments. Who would reject such a gentle, amiable and emotionally intelligent girl?
She even affectionately called me Mengmeng.
What a cute name.
"Baby, you and your sister sit here for a while. I'll go upstairs to take a look." When Ono heard that Sister Min and Mr. Yuan were upstairs, his face changed and he immediately got up to go upstairs.
I also wanted to go upstairs with him to see Sister Min, but this behavior is not appropriate now.
I haven’t met Mr. Yuan and Sister Min since the engagement party, nor have I met them online. I don’t know what their attitude towards me is now.
If they have something to say about me, they will definitely be unhappy if I rashly enter their private space.
So I nodded and agreed.
After Ono hurried up to the second floor, I suddenly regretted it.
Because I was facing Yuan Youan alone, my heart began to feel uneasy again. Although Yuan Jianing kept holding my hand and still looked smiling, I still felt that the atmosphere had changed.
"Mengmeng, have some tea." Fortunately, Yuan Jianing was still gentle and amiable. She handed me a cup of tea brought by the servant.
I took it immediately and thanked her politely: "Thank you, sister."
This cup of tea came at the perfect time. By drinking the tea, I can avoid Yuan Youan's uncomfortable gaze, and temporarily escape from this subtle atmosphere.
However, just as I took a sip of tea, Yuan Jianing beside me asked again: "Mengmeng, I heard that you are the daughter that Madam Zhang Si found. Do you still remember your childhood?"
Why did Yuan Jianing suddenly bring up this topic?
"Um..." I almost choked, and quickly swallowed the tea and explained seriously, "No, I am my godmother's adopted daughter. The daughter that my godmother once lost has not been found yet."
A special ceremony and banquet were held to celebrate the relationship between me and my godmother. All the wealthy circles in Beijing and Hong Kong attended the event. The Yuan family is a family with close relations with the Zhang family, so everyone in the Yuan family knew about this.
How could Yuan Jianing not know this? And he asked such a question in front of me.
This is not something a person with high emotional intelligence can do.
"Sorry, sorry Mengmeng, I have been abroad for the past two years and just returned recently. I am not very clear about the relationship between you and Madam Zhang Si, so I made a mistake. Please don't mind it." After hearing what I said, Yuan Jianing's smile began to turn awkward, and she hurriedly explained and apologized.
Yes, I heard from Xiao Ye before that Yuan Youan has been in Beijing and Hong Kong, and also in the Yuan family’s company, but Yuan Jianing has not been at home in the past two years. She is studying abroad.
She did not attend the ceremony between me and my godmother, so it is understandable that she misunderstood the true relationship between me and my godmother.
I waved my hands: "It's okay, sister."
"It's not your fault for making a mistake. When I first saw her, I also thought she was Madam Zhang Si's biological daughter. She looks and has the same temperament." At this moment, Yuan Youan suddenly said something.
He acted quite suddenly. He had been observing me silently, and then suddenly said something that was quite scary.
It's a bit like a sinister snake, always waiting by your side for the right opportunity to strike.
It made me feel more and more uncomfortable.
"Yeah, I think so too. They look too similar, so there is a misunderstanding." Yuan Jianing nodded gently.
"Well, a lot of people say that my godmother and I look alike. When I first saw her, I also felt that we were a bit alike, and I inexplicably wanted to be close to her. I guess this is our fate." I coughed lightly and nodded.
Fortunately, Yuan Jianing is here. Her gentleness can ease the discomfort that Yuan Youan brings to me.
But I still felt uncomfortable, uneasy, and even a little restless.
"Then Mengmeng, have you ever thought that maybe you really are the daughter of Madam Zhang Si? After all, you are so similar, and you also said that you felt a sense of familiarity the first time you met." Yuan Jianing said slowly.
I shook my head: "Really not."
I don’t want to say more, because I inevitably thought of my biological father Lin Youde, what he did to me, and Lin Xixi.
All of this makes me unhappy.
If possible, I really hope that I am the daughter of my godmother. I hope that I have nothing to do with Lin Youde and Lin Xixi. However, contrary to my wishes, I am indeed Lin Youde’s biological daughter...
"Really? Miss Meng, have you ever thought about doing a DNA test, which would be more accurate?" Yuan Youan suddenly said again.
Not only did he speak suddenly, he was also quite presumptuous!
I have already told you that my godmother and I have no blood relationship, we are just adopted relatives, but he is still so persistent and even wants me to do a DNA test.
Is this just a casual chat or an interrogation?
I was unhappy and frowned: "I don't think it's necessary."
"A goddaughter is still a daughter. Madam Zhang Si loves you so much. It's obvious that she treats you like her own daughter." Yuan Jianing tried to smooth things over.
I was a little angry at first, but after Yuan Jianing calmed me down, I couldn't be angry anymore and nodded: "Yes, godmother treats me very well."
Forget it. Xiao Ye has said that his eldest brother has a bit of a weird temper. Although the relationship between the two brothers is not close, not as close as that between him and Zhang Tingyuan, Xiao Ye obviously still respects Yuan Youan.
Even if I am considering Ono, I am here today to express my apologies and I will not conflict with Yuan Youan over a few words.
However, there are some things that I cannot get even if I make sacrifices.
After finishing this topic, I continued to drink tea, but Yuan Youan suddenly said, "Miss Meng seems to have a special relationship with the eldest son of the Zhou family? Is your relationship really over? How long do you plan to wear the hat of Xiaoye?"
It was like a bolt of thunder out of the blue. My emotions, which had just calmed down, were shaken up again by Yuan Youan's words, and I almost knocked over the teacup in my hand.
