Wei Xue began to declare that she was the master of the Wei family. Mother Wei listened at the side and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She looked at Wei Xue with approval, indicating that this was how it should be.
Wei Xue received a signal from her mother and felt even less worried.
A servant saw Su Meng sitting down and immediately asked her what she wanted to drink. Su Meng politely asked for a glass of water and started chatting with Wei Xue. “Xiao Xue, did you see the box your brother gave me? I can’t find it no matter how I look for it. Do you think it was taken away by the servants as garbage?”
Wei Xue pretended not to know and nodded. “It’s possible. After all, that box doesn’t look like it’s worth much. However, if it was really taken away by the servants, it’s fine. I’ll help you ask after the banquet is over. They won’t throw away the garbage so quickly.”
Su Meng nodded and sighed helplessly, “Xiao Xue, you don’t know, but your brother said that this box is very important. He even lectured me after he found out that I lost it. Xiao Xue, why do you think I’m so unlucky? I can’t even do such a small thing and made your brother so angry.”
At this point, Su Meng pulled Wei Xue’s hand and begged in a pitiful tone, “Xiao Xue, my good sister, I know you’ve always been the best to me, so you have to help me this time. Your brother is very angry with me right now, so I’m counting on you to put in a good word for me.”
Su Meng pretended to be true, but Wei Xue wasn’t that easy to fool.
After hearing Su Meng’s words, she asked in confusion, “Brother Wei Ting, is really angry with you? But I saw you two being so intimate just now. You didn’t seem to be quarreling.”
‘I didn’t expect you to be so thoughtful,’ Su Meng thought.
“I was just coaxing your brother just now. I told him that I would definitely find the thing and that he wouldn’t have to worry. He hugged me because the wound on my body opened up and it hurt so much that I couldn’t walk. That’s why he helped me,” Su Meng frowned and said in a pitiful tone.
If others heard this, they might think that Su Meng was really afraid of Wei Ting.
Because Su Meng was too serious, Wei Xue stared at her for a long time and saw that Su Meng didn’t seem to be lying. She then recalled how Wei Ting did not look too good when Su Meng whispered into his ear. Hence, Wei Xue believed her.
“Don’t worry, Sister Su Meng. We’re good friends. I’ll definitely help you,” she said arrogantly.
Su Meng looked at Wei Xue and asked again with a smile, “Xiao Xue, are you sure you don’t know where the box is?”
Wei Xue’s hair stood on end under Su Meng’s gaze. She looked at Su Meng as if she had seen through her.
However, on second thought, she realized that Su Meng really didn’t know that the box was with her since she asked for her help so sincerely. If she knew, why would she be so quiet? She would definitely think of a way to talk back.
Wei Xue looked at Su Meng and then turned to look at Wei Ting. Wei Ting was looking at his phone and his face was cold. He seemed to be in a bad mood. Wei Xue thought that Wei Ting was indeed angry about the box. Su Meng was not lying.
As she thought of this, a plan suddenly came to her mind.
She scanned Su Meng from head to toe and pretended to be surprised. “Sister Su Meng, I found that you look especially good today. You look much better too. As expected, your body has almost recovered? It’s much better than the day of the car accident.”
Hearing Wei Xue’s praise, Su Meng knew that Wei Xue had come up with another bad idea. But no matter if it was sincere or not, she was still complimenting herself. She just had to accept it.
“Really?” Su Meng laughed. “I also think I’m getting more and more good-looking. Xiao Xue, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but look at your face now. It’s sallow. Did you not rest well recently? This won’t do. You have to learn from me to relax and sleep more. Otherwise, you’ll age prematurely.”
Wei Xue’s smile froze on her face when she heard Su Meng’s words.
She thought that Su Meng would take the opportunity to be humble and then praise herself. He didn’t expect her to mock her instead of complimenting her. As expected, she had no EQ. No wonder Wei Ting didn’t like her.
Forcing a smile, Wei Xue said perfunctorily, “Sister Su Meng is right. I will learn more from you in the future.” These words were squeezed out from Wei Xue’s teeth, but she still had to maintain a smile on her face.
Su Meng looked at Wei Xue’s fake expression and found it funny. It must have been hard on her to force herself to pretend to be gentle and virtuous. Su Meng felt tired for Wei Xue.
