Meng Wei made a face and said lazily, “You guys are clearly biased, and you don’t allow me to say anything? You gave birth to Lin and Jiao as geniuses, but I’m the dumb one! This was so unfair! It’s not fair!”

Ning Jia was amused by Meng Wei’s strange look. She said, “Don’t make excuses for your laziness! Be careful, or your Father will beat you up!”

Meng Tang and his wife were now very wary of raising the wrong child. Fortunately, Meng Wei managed to muddle through.

Meng Yao was somewhat frightened. She did not know when it started, but she had already started to be careful, afraid of touching everything about her background. The reason was all because of that wretched girl.

‘I had to! Definitely! I had to chase that wretched girl out of the Meng family!’ Meng Yao thought.

Meng Jiao felt Meng Yao’s fierce gaze and understood that she wanted to eat her up.

“Honey, take the children shopping in the afternoon. See if Meng Jiao needs anything else and get it ready for her. Then, we’ll start arranging for her tuition.” said Meng Tang as he put down his chopsticks.

Ning Jia nodded. “Yes, of course. I was thinking the same thing.”

Meng Tang took out his wallet, found a card, and handed it to Meng Jiao. He said, “I haven’t had the time to get you a bank card yet. Use this. Go shopping with your Mother in the afternoon. Buy whatever you like.”

“Thank you, Father.” Meng Jiao took the bank card and kept it.

Every child in the Meng family had a bank card to use for living expenses. In Meng Jiao’s previous life, even though she was not liked by the Meng family, the Meng family never deducted her living expenses. Although it was not as much as Meng Wei and Meng Yao, it was enough for Meng Jiao to finish her studies. She had always been grateful to the Meng family for that.

Meng Jiao did not expect that in this life, her father would give her a card on her first day back home.

Meng Jiao inadvertently saw Meng Yao staring at the card with shock and greed in her eyes, and Meng Jiao understood that this was something her father had given her on the spur of the moment. Meng Yao was probably begging for it.

After the meal, Meng Tang and Ning Jia were even more satisfied with Meng Jiao. The daughter who had led a wandering life did not have the slightest trace of cowardice or vulgarity. The blood of the Meng family flowed in her veins.

Meng Yao was looking forward to Meng Jiao making a fool of herself so that she could take the opportunity to teach Meng Yao a lesson. However, he did not expect this wretched girl to be so flawless.

Meng Yao could not help but feel puzzled, ‘How could Meng Jiao grow up to be so generous and dignified under the Zhao family’s roof?’

However, Ning Jia’s joy gradually increased with Meng Jiao’s performance.

Ning Jia’s previous worries were slowly dispelled, and she focused more and more on Meng Jiao. It could be seen that Ning Jia was very satisfied with her biological daughter.

Ning Jia’s heart, which was originally biased towards Meng Yao, slowly turned towards Meng Jiao.

Ning Jia rarely did things like shopping anymore. If she needed anything, she could just ask the shop owner to send it to her house. But today, she was very excited to bring her two daughters and Meng Wei out of the house.

Due to long-term malnutrition, Meng Jiao was thin and small. Her skin was rough, and her hair was dry and yellow. She did not even look like a grown-up. Compared to Meng Yao, who was also twelve years old, she paled in comparison, making Ning Jia’s motherly loving heart ache every minute.

‘So, the first task was to take Meng Jiao for a full-body spa and hair treatment. She would definitely be able to recover.’ Ning Jia comforted herself.

When the newly madeover Meng Jiao stood in front of her, Ning Jia could not help but be stunned.

The store manager looked at Meng Jiao and smiled. She said, “Mrs. Meng, Miss Jiao really looks like you. She’s a little beauty!”

Ning Jia stepped forward and held Meng Jiao in her arms, patting her back gently. Ning Jiao was deeply moved.

Meng Yao stood at the side and clenched her fists, the hatred in her heart increasing a little.

Ning Jia’s skincare session was not done yet. Meng Yao suggested, “Mother, why don’t I bring Jiao to look at some clothes first?”

Ning Jia nodded and said, “Alright. Help Jiao choose a few suitable clothes. We’re going to the family manor to see Grandma tonight, so we have to dress more elegantly.”

“Okay, Mother.” Meng Yao obediently agreed and held Meng Jiao’s hand.

“Miss Yao is really good to Miss Jiao. She’s such a good sister. Mrs. Meng, you’re really blessed.” the store manager praised.

Ning Jia felt very pleased.

After exiting the beauty shop, Meng Yao let go of Meng Jiao’s hand and rolled her eyes at her in disgust. Meng Yao said unhappily, “This is the best beauty salon in the city. The price of a hairdo is more than your family’s annual income!”
