Meng Yan had a party with a friend of Lai Zipeng tonight, and she came back a little late, and when she heard Sister-in-law Lin talk about the night, she hurriedly went upstairs to her father's study.

Curled his finger and tapped twice on the door: "Dad, it's me, Meng Yan, can I come in?"

"Come in!"

Meng Yan pushed the door in response, Meng Chaozong was still working at this time, his brows were tightly locked, and it could be seen that what he was doing should not be very smooth.

Seeing Meng Yan come in, Meng Chaozong stopped what he was doing, raised his hand and pinched his swollen eyebrows, and gestured to the sofa in front of his desk: "Sit!"

Meng Yan nodded, but did not sit down immediately, but said to Meng Chaozong with a concerned face: "Dad, what's wrong? My head hurts again? Why don't I help you massage it, it should be better!"

"It's okay, it's an old problem, don't worry!"

Meng Chaozong waved his hand and did not agree to Meng Yan's proposal, but perhaps because of his daughter's concern, his face, which had been tense just now, was soothed a lot.

Seeing this, Meng Yan quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she sat down on the sofa, and said gently: "Dad, Sister-in-law Lin said that you are looking for me, is there something?"

Meng Chaozong glanced at her and asked rhetorically, "Didn't Sister-in-law Lin tell you?"

Meng Yan shook her head blankly: "No!" Her father doesn't like the servants at home to talk nonsense, not to mention the embarrassing thing like a dispute between the two masters, at this time, it is impossible for her to "betray" Sister-in-law Lin, otherwise if something happens at home in the future, someone will report to her!

Sure enough, hearing her say this, a trace of satisfaction flashed in Meng Chaozong's eyes, and he nodded lightly.

"Your third uncle came over before, argued with me for a few words, and said that Hui'er said, you once went out to eat and met Meng Jing, but you didn't let her and Min'er come back to tell the family about it, is this true?"

"Dad, I, I was wrong—"

Before Meng Yan went upstairs, she had already learned from Sister-in-law Lin about the content of her third uncle's dispute with her father, and she had already thought of her words, she lowered her head slightly, admitting her mistake in her mouth, but the expression on her face was a little aggrieved, anyone who could understand at a glance that there was a reason behind her doing this. And she admitted her mistake first the first time, which gave people the impression that she did not shirk her responsibility.

"Yan'er, I know that you are a child who knows what is important, Meng Jing has a token in her hand that can decide who is the real next head of the Meng family, we have not given up looking for her all these years, since you have met this time, why don't you keep her?

Although Meng Chaozong questioned continuously, he could hear that his tone was not stern, but more about Meng Yan making such a decision, he felt very puzzled.

"Dad—"

Meng Yan bit her lower lip, hung her head slightly and looked very embarrassed, paused, she raised her head to look at Meng Chaozong, and said with a pleading face: "Dad, then you have to promise Yan'er, don't be too angry with Min'er and Hui'er!"

Meng Chaozong frowned: "You don't let your family know that Meng Jing is in the imperial capital, what does this have to do with Min'er and Hui'er?"

"Dad, did the third uncle say that we were at the Shabu Mutton Restaurant that day, did we meet anyone other than Ah Jing?"

"No!" Meng Chaozong shook his head, thinking of Meng Chaozong's attitude before, the unhappiness in his heart came out again. "As soon as he came, he blamed him in a weird way, as if I was instigating behind my back and deliberately not letting them know Meng Jing's whereabouts, it's really funny!"

Meng Yan hurriedly made a very self-reproachful expression: "Dad, I'm sorry! It's all my fault, causing the third uncle to misunderstand you like this! I'll go to the third uncle early tomorrow morning, and I must explain it to him well——"

"Leave him alone. Meng Chaozong shook his head, "Tell me first, who else did you meet that day?

"In addition to meeting Ah Jing that day, we also met Leng Shao and his fiancée, Miss Ke......" Meng Yan recounted what happened in the Shabu Mutton Restaurant that day.

"Dad, Min'er and Hui'er thought that Ah Jing had no love for Zipeng that day, and they followed us, so they deliberately poured her mutton soup. They didn't know that Ah Jing and Leng Shao's fiancée were friends at the time, and they were eating together, otherwise, they would definitely not do that!"

Meng Yan blamed herself: "I'm afraid that if I tell my family about the situation that day, Min'er and Hui'er will be punished! Dad, I am their sister, and they will be like this because they are acting for me, although the behavior is wrong, how can I bear to see them punished!"

So, so I thought I'd keep it a secret for a while, and then I'll talk about it later—"

Saying that, Meng Yan couldn't help but have a little worry on her face: "Dad, I know that Ah Jing has a token of the head of the family in her hand, but she is very close to Miss Ke now, and it can be seen that Miss Ke is very protective of her and believes in her personality, we want to get the jade pendant from her at this time, she must be unwilling to give it, otherwise she knew the importance of the jade pendant back then, how could she leave quietly with it?"

But if we use strong words, it is very likely to offend Miss Ke behind her. ”
