“Mother, since Jiao is fine, why don’t we go home early? No matter how good the hospital is, it’s not as good as at home.” Meng Yao saw the opportunity and suggested.

Ning Jia hesitated for a moment. She had wanted Meng Jiao to stay in the hospital for a while longer so that she could take care of her seriously and carefully.

However, what Meng Yao said made sense. Therefore, Ning Jia asked for Meng Tang’s opinion.

Meng Tang thought for a moment and said, “Okay. Then let’s go home tomorrow. You go ahead and make some arrangements. Then, hire two chefs to prepare a special meal for Meng Jiao. In a few days, we’ll invite guests to celebrate. You should also inform my mother.”

Ning Jia hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Meng Jiao saw it and understood. In her previous life, her mother did not have a good relationship with her grandmother.

Meng Jiao’s grandmother was also born into a noble family. She had worked hard for many years to become a woman with status. It was all thanks to her son, Meng Tang, who had worked hard to gain a foothold in the Meng family. Although Ning Jia’s family could help Meng Tang, at home, Ning Jia was also a woman who stole her son away.

Therefore, when their eldest son, Meng Lin, was born, his grandmother found an excuse to bring her grandson to her side and raise him, so that Ning Jia could focus on accompanying her husband to expand his career overseas.

Meng Lin grew up with his grandmother and was not close to his parents, which made Ning Jia very sad. Meng Wei had been raised by Ning Jia since he was young. However, when Meng Wei was kidnapped when he was eight years old, his grandmother flew into a rage and blamed Ning Jia for being irresponsible. She also took her second grandson under her wings.

The knot in the heart between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law grew deeper and deeper.

The old madam was so skillful that Ning Jia was no match for her. Meng Tang was a dutiful son. He did not sense the internal turmoil in the house, so there was naturally no mediation, which made Ning Jia feel even more wrong.

This time, the matter of the real daughter had happened again. The old madam was even more convinced that Ning Jia was not a good mother. She had some complaints about Ning Jia among her relatives and friends.

Meng Jiao gently pulled Ning Jia’s hand and smiled sweetly at Ning Jia. She said, “Mother, you go ahead. I’ll be good and wait for you to pick me up.”

Ning Jia’s depression was swept away. She said, “My dear, sweet child!”

“Mother, I’ll stay and take care of Jiao,” said Meng Yao as she stood up at the right time.

Ning Jia also reached out to pet Meng Yao’s head and said with a smile, “Our Yao is also a good child. With you taking care of your sister, I will be relieved.”

The so-called taking care of Jiao was just two people staring at each other.

After the parents left, the “chuunibyou” Meng Wei was in his awkward adolescence stage. He did not want to stay behind awkwardly to accompany a sister he did not know well, so he followed his parents.

Meng Jiao and Meng Yao did not have to pretend to be obedient anymore.

Meng Yao’s face turned cold.

Meng Jiao yawned lightly and adjusted herself to a comfortable position, closing her eyes to rest.

Meng Yao clenched her fists and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart. She could not hit Meng Jiao. That would be too obvious, Meng Jiao might even tell her parents.

Meng Jiao was the legitimate young lady of the Meng family, and Meng Yao had already fallen from the high platform and become an adopted daughter. There was no need for anyone to teach Meng Yao. Meng Yao also understood that she had to tuck her tail between her legs and not disappoint the Meng family.

‘I had to chase this girl away! Chase her out of the Meng family. I could not let her occupy my status in the Meng family and seized everything that belonged to me!’ Meng Yao thought.

“Are you asleep, Jiao?” Meng Yao asked gently.

Meng Jiao’s eyelids twitched, but she did not open her eyes.

“Jiao, you have already slept for so long. Do you still want to sleep? Why don’t we have a chat?” Meng Yao said patiently.

“What do you want to talk about?” Meng Jiao opened her eyes and asked.

Meng Jiao’s eyes were very similar to Ning Jia’s. That made Meng Yao’s heart burn with jealousy. The smile on Meng Yao’s face was very sweet and said, “Why don’t we talk about our lives?”

Meng Jiao nodded indifferently.

Meng Yao thought that Meng Jiao was ashamed to talk about her life in the countryside and felt proud.

Meng Yao’s face was full of pride as she glanced at Meng Jiao. Seeing that Meng Jiao was listening attentively, Meng Yao felt even more pleased. She said, “Wei dotes on me the most. He will give me all the good food and fun first even though he has a bad temper. No one dares to provoke him, whether at home or outside. But, he listens to me very much and will grant my every request! He said that I’m his only sister!”

Meng Yao emphasized the word “only” heavily.
