“Y-You are familiar with food therapy?” Meng Wei asked in surprise.

Meng Jiao nodded and said, “I know some simple ones, but I’ve followed the books.”

Meng Wei raised his thumb and said to Meng Yao, “Yao, Jiao is truly formidable.”

Meng Yao picked up a meatball and placed it on her plate. She smiled at Meng Jiao, “Jiao, why don’t you make it for us and let us try it too? Or you can comment on the food therapy that Mother is having now.”

Meng Jiao shivered.

Meng Yao’s smile became brighter. She asked, “What’s wrong, Jiao? Don’t tell me it is all a bluff? We’re family, we won’t mind if it tastes bad. Won’t we, Wei?”

Meng Wei did not think too much about it. He nodded and said, “It’s okay, Jiao. Just give it a try. If it tastes bad, we won’t eat it. The main thing is that I’m more curious. I want to see if your cooking is as good as answering questions!”

Meng Wei’s carelessness successfully concealed Meng Yao’s malice.

Meng Jiao glanced at Meng Yao and smiled. Meng Jiao pointed at the herbal chicken soup in front of Ning Jia and said, “I think Mother’s herbal chicken soup would be more suitable for Mother if she added some wild jujube seeds. Because Mother had insomnia, it’s not enough to just use dong guai to replenish her blood.”

The four of them remained silent as they looked at Meng Jiao. No one knew if she was right.

“Meng Jiao, how do you know that I’m having insomnia? Even your father did not notice that.” Ning Jia asked softly.

Meng Jiao looked at Ning Jia with heartache in her eyes. She said, “Because your eyes are a little dark and you are less energetic in the morning. You always try your best to wake yourself up, so I think you probably don’t sleep well at night.”

Ning Jia’s tears almost fell. She thought, ‘She had only been here for a few days, but she had observed me so carefully. It showed how much she cared about me.’

Meng Tang also looked at Ning Jia carefully and patted her hand. He said, “It’s been hard on you during this period. Since we are bringing Meng Jiao to see Dr. Bai, you can also ask him to take a look at you!”

“Father, you should also consult the doctor to prescribe some medicine to soothe your liver and relieve your depression.” Meng Jiao tilted her head and said.

“Isn’t the medicine for soothing the liver and relieving depression for women? I don’t need it. I’ll give it to your mother.” Meng Tang laughed.

Ning Jia, however, said, “I think Jiao has a point. You’ve been so busy recently, and I can see that your frown hasn’t eased. Why don’t you ask your secretary to arrange a time to accompany us to see the doctor?”

“Then I’ll come with Yao as well!” Meng Wei immediately perked up.

Meng Jiao realized that Meng Wei had an endless curiosity about this world. No matter who wanted to do something, he wanted to join in. He always had a strong sense of existence.

Ning Jia looked at her husband earnestly. Meng Tang thought for a moment and looked at his three children who were looking at him expectantly. Finally, he nodded and said, “Alright, then I’ll accompany you to the doctor tomorrow!”

Ning Jia smiled and naturally put her hand on Meng Jiao’s head to stroke it. She knew her daughter would bring her good fortune!

Looking at this scene, the flames of jealousy in Meng Yao’s heart could not help but burn fiercely. That hand originally belonged to her, only to her!

When Meng Yao returned to her room at night, she felt even more depressed when she saw the room that was originally a guest room.

The bedroom upstairs had always been Meng Yao’s pride. A few of her close classmates had come to her house and visited her room. After that, they went to the school to exaggerate it. The whole school knew that Meng Yao’s room was as luxurious as a Disney princess, and Meng Yao was naturally equated with a Disney princess.

Meng Yao was the blessed daughter, and she had always been! Yet, Meng Jiao was her terminator.

Meng Jiao cleared her name with just a few words and made her understand that there was only one princess in the Meng family! Only the biological daughter of the Meng family was the real princess!

Meng Yao thought, ‘Mother used to pamper me, but when Meng Jiao came back, Mother immediately threw me to the back of her mind.

”Not only did she break her promise, but she even made me kneel and admit my mistake because of a small matter! This had never happened before Meng Jiao came back. It was all that country girl’s fault!

‘Mother had said that she would renovate my bedroom the next day, but it had been a few days, and there was no movement at all. All her attention was on that wretched girl. She still had to take her to the doctor tomorrow.

‘That girl was still alive and kicking. Why would she need to see a doctor? However, I’m staying in this simple guest room and no one cares about me. This is so unfair!’

Meng Yao could not take it anymore. She got up and went upstairs to look for Meng Jiao.

Meng Yao did not even knock on the door before walking in. Meng Jiao was reading an English book and was shocked, “Why didn’t you knock?”
