Chapter 69 – 69 69 Insults

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Insults Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Insults They said there were fruits to eat, and Shen Ci’s eyes lit up.

It wasn’t that he was greedy, but the fruits that Meng Chuyue had brought him the last two times were too delicious.

He didn’t know if it would be the same this time.

He unabashedly picked out an orange, peeled it, and ate a segment, squinting his eyes in satisfaction.

Yes, it was still that same taste.

Meng Chuyue returned quickly, only to see three neatly placed orange peels on the ground in front of Shen Ci.

The corners of her lips twitched, she left the fruit and only took the vegetables, saying, “I’ll leave the fruit for you, I need to go back now.

If there’s anything, just shout for me.”

At this moment, the two of them were at the staircase on the first floor.

Passersby who saw them together cast strange glances, and some lingered for a long time before leaving with a weird smile.

This situation would definitely cause trouble.

Meng Chuyue refused to accept such an outcome and decided to cold-heartedly leave Shen Ci alone and go home by herself.

Shen Ci, who felt he didn’t need company, ended up with a big bag of fruits and was extremely pleased.

He smirked, “Hmm, thanks and sorry for the trouble.”

Meng Chuyue didn’t respond to him and walked away without looking back, holding the vegetables.

Shen Ci: “…”

What a strange girl.

Sometimes she was incredibly tender-hearted, and sometimes she was exceptionally cold-hearted and… cool.

It always made him itch with curiosity, wanting to spend more time and talk more with her.

Unfortunately, he was still unable to defend himself against the plots and traps set by Shen Wenxiu and others, how could he possibly drag her into this mess?

…

After Meng Chuyue entered the house, she took two bags of fruit from storage and knocked on the master bedroom’s door.

Meng Wanhua, who was silently crying, quickly wiped her tears and forced a smile as she got up to open the door, “Chuyue, why are you back already?”

Meng Chuyue smiled, “I came back to have lunch with you.

The doctor said that besides taking medicine, patients need to eat on time.

I was worried that Sister Jingfen wasn’t around and you wouldn’t feel like having lunch, so I decided to come back at noon from now on since the shop isn’t far from home.”

Indeed, Meng Wanhua, who hadn’t planned to eat lunch, thought about it.

With Lin Youdong and others sent away, Chuyue could come home freely.

She nodded and said, “Alright, you’ve been working half a day, take a break, and I’ll cook.”

Meng Chuyue shook her head, “The shop has just opened, and there isn’t much business, we’re pretty free just sitting around, so let me cook.

I brought two bags of fruit, each weighing ten pounds.

One is for your friends, and the other is for you to eat.”

Saying so, she put down the bags of fruit and turned towards the kitchen.

Meng Wanhua wanted to follow her and help with cooking, but tears kept streaming down her face, forcing her to sit silently back on the bed.

Staring at the two bags of fruit beside the bed, and remembering the awful things Lin Fangwei had said that morning, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and weep silently.

…

Rewinding back to this morning, Meng Wanhua had gone to the hospital with Meng Jingfen to get a health certificate and had sent Jingfen to the pastry shop.

On her way back home, Lin Fangwei pulled up in her car and gestured for her to get in.

Originally, Meng Wanhua wanted to sit in the back, but Lin Fangwei insisted she sit in the front passenger seat, so she reluctantly complied.

After the car started, Lin Fangwei, with a cold smirk, said to Meng Wanhua, “I never thought Mom was so capable, managing to find such a good job for Sister.”

Meng Wanhua stared straight ahead, silent.

Lin Fangwei tilted her head and chuckled sinisterly, “However, if I wanted to, not to mention keeping a good job, Sister wouldn’t even be able to keep a factory job.”

“You…”

Meng Wanhua turned incredulously to look at Lin Fangwei, unable to comprehend how someone so tender and beautiful could have such a devilish nature.

“Heh…” Lin Fangwei scoffed coldly, “You think I’m bad, huh?

Even if I am, I inherited it from you.

You could swap children without a second thought, who could be worse than you?”

Meng Wanhua, verbally abused by her own daughter: “…”

What sins I have committed.
