"Nope." Xia Ze said.
I quietly ate the food in the bowl. Actually, I didn't even know what the taste of those extremely beautiful dishes were, I only thought about Xia Ze and Cheng Ruojun, I didn't think about Luo Mengjiao, because no matter what, if she continued to be so willful, her life would be over by now.
Luo Mengjiao nodded, her expression was wooden and lifeless. When I saw her like that, I unconsciously looked at Xia Ze, and I discovered that Xia Ze was quietly eating the beef on the plate. He had cut off a small piece of the beef, and he seemed to be upset, so I became even more dissatisfied with Luo Mengjiao.
Luo Mengjiao stared at the amiable Cheng Ruojun, her eyes instantly brimming with tears, glittering under the light.
"I do." "No," she said, and though she said it, her movements and expressions were clearly saying no, as we all saw.
I took a deep breath to calm myself down.
"When are you going to get married?" His tone did not change, as if he did not understand the meaning behind Luo Mengjiao's words just now.
Luo Mengjiao did not expect Cheng Ruojun to ask her in such detail. After being silent for a moment, she replied, "Very soon." Then she looked up at Xia Ze and said, "We will be married soon."
Cheng Ruojun followed her gaze. Xia Ze was drinking soup with his spoon, his expression was gloomy, this was the first time I saw him show such an expression, the reason he felt sad was because of Luo Mengjiao. I held my blade tightly, bringing Luo Mengjiao here was truly a mistake.
Xia Ze also noticed our gazes, and in the end, he looked at us and said, "I'll go get some milk."
Xia Ze stood up and went to the kitchen. I noticed that Luo Mengjiao was staring at her back, at the same time, I realized that Cheng Ruojun was looking at Luo Mengjiao and Xia Ze with a thoughtful expression.
I understand that because of his family property, Cheng Ruojun is actually very cautious of Xia Ze. Now that Luo Mengjiao suddenly popped out, it is very possible that she is Xia Ze's weakness, I do not want Luo Mengjiao to be Xia Ze's weakness, or in other words, even if Xia Ze has a weakness, I wish for Xia Ze's weakness to be me.
I lowered my eyes. Maybe Luo Mengjiao becoming my brother's wife was a good thing for me.
"Are you still in college?" Cheng Ruojun asked Luo Mengjiao.
Luo Mengjiao gave up on herself and answered, "I have already dropped out of school."
Cheng Ruojun laughed and said, "I see that you are a smart child. If you do not have a job at the moment, you can come and work at my place."
I stared at Cheng Ruojun, and I really couldn't understand why Cheng Ruojun would say that. His tone of voice was exceptionally gentle, but I sensed danger from his words, so I was certain that he was planning something.
Luo Mengjiao stared at Cheng Ruojun, her eyes sparkling, as though she was not as upset as before. Looking at Cheng Ruojun, her eyes flashed, and in that moment, I saw joy and satisfaction.
I suddenly understood what Luo Mengjiao was thinking. Maybe she felt frustrated with Xia Ze, but was able to gain back some of her dignity. She was proving her charm, but I understood that Cheng Ruojun was only using her.
I will not tolerate it any longer, I will not tolerate Cheng Ruojun, I will not let myself be wronged, so for a stone like Luo Mengjiao, which is near my feet, I will definitely not tolerate it.
After Cheng Ruojun finished speaking, he went silent, while the others had no desire to talk. I only focused on eating with my head lowered, seemingly very satisfied with the fresh fish today.
"I'll send Luo Mengjiao back." After dinner, I said, "I'll go back and talk to my brother." He wanted him to teach Luo Mengjiao well in the future. I added in my mind.
Cheng Ruojun looked at me and nodded, then his gaze landed on Luo Mengjiao's face and he said, "Welcome back."
He isn't that kind of person, he's always been acting, but Luo Mengjiao didn't notice anything. I think she's very satisfied with Cheng Ruojun now, I noticed that the sadness on her face had receded quite a bit, and her face had even turned slightly red.
I understand her. Even if she doesn't like Cheng Ruojun, she would still be happy if he expressed his goodwill towards her. After all, she has not torn apart her disguise as Cheng Ruojun and he is so outstanding.
I took a deep breath and smiled. "Let's go, Luo Mengjiao."
She nodded at me, and her expression was one of barely concealed complacency.
I thought to myself, I, who tried to persuade you, was a fool.
Xia Ze was standing there the entire time. He was extremely quiet, like a stone statue, causing people to almost forget about his existence. He was a smart person so he should be able to understand what Luo Mengjiao was thinking about.
"Then we'll be going back." I said to Cheng Ruojun.
"Let's go, Luo Mengjiao." I smiled at her. "You'll come back here when you have time."
"Alright." Luo Mengjiao replied me obediently, it was just that her expression was a little fake.
Cheng Ruojun had already diluted the damage that Xia Ze had done to her heart.
I sat in the car with Luo Mengjiao beside me. She looked out the window and then at me, as if she had something to say. I felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze.
"What's wrong?" I turned to her.
She didn't seem to expect me to ask her directly. She looked at me hesitantly, then said, "I remember what you said to me last time."
"What?" I asked curiously.
"You told me to be careful when I choose your brother." Luo Mengjiao said.
"Yes." I replied.
Luo Mengjiao did not speak anymore, and I did not understand the meaning behind her words. I turned my head to look at her, and realised that when she was looking out the window, she would occasionally smile, and I felt that she was weird, I guessed that it had something to do with Cheng Ruojun.
She is still living in my house, as if she didn't have a home. Maybe I should ask Jiang Yekun about her origins.
I took out my phone and dialed Jiang Yekun's number, but Jiang Yekun's phone kept it turned off. My heart was a little anxious, I called him today, and he is my parents' precious baby, he has always been my equal. To be more precise, if I didn't marry Cheng Ruojun and give him that much money, he might not even recognize me as his big sister.
The so-called kinship was nothing more than that.
"Thank you." Luo Mengjiao was in a hurry to get out of the car as soon as the car stopped. She opened the car door and said in high spirits.
"Elder sister, you go back first." Her voice was unusually cheerful, and most importantly, this was the first time she called me big sister. I don't know why, but I felt a bit annoyed when I saw pity in her eyes.
I smiled at her. "I want to go in, too."
Luo Mengjiao's face stiffened, she looked extremely awkward.
