Chapter 308: The Only Niece
Meng Zhiwei came back to her senses and met Wei Fangfei’s concerned gaze. She gently shook her head and said, “I’m fine, don’t worry about me.”
“Okay,” Wei Fangfei nodded slightly. “If you feel uncomfortable, just say so.”
“I know.” Meng Zhiwei smiled, and her peripheral vision secretly glanced at Jiang Yuan, seeing her sitting there calmly.
“Yuan Yuan, what do you want to eat?” Wei Fangfei held the menu and walked over to Jiang Yuan. “The Wellington steak here is delicious, and the black truffle foie gras is also very fragrant. You can try it…”
Jiang Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded, “Yes, if Sister Fangfei says it’s delicious, then it must be excellent.”
“Oh my.” Wei Fangfei’s face lit up with happiness upon hearing her words. “If you think it’s not good, I’ll take you to another place next time.”
“Okay,” Jiang Yuan said with a smile. “I’m already looking forward to it.”
Wei Fangfei snapped her fingers. “Because of what you said, no matter if it’s good or not, I’ll definitely take you to try another place next time.”
Worried that Meng Zhiwei might feel ignored, she said to her, “Weiwei, you have to go next time too.”
After speaking, she saw Meng Zhiwei staring blankly at Jiang Yuan.
Wei Fangfei found it strange and frowned imperceptibly.
What’s wrong with Weiwei today? She seems out of sorts.
After ordering their food, Wei Fangfei wanted to go to the restroom and first asked Jiang Yuan.
“I don’t need to,” Jiang Yuan said softly.
“Okay,” Wei Fangfei agreed and turned to Meng Zhiwei, “Weiwei, will you accompany me to the restroom?”
Meng Zhiwei heard her this time and stood up, “Let’s go.”
On the way to the restroom, Wei Fangfei held her friend’s arm and asked suspiciously, “Weiwei, what’s wrong with you today? You’ve been spacing out and staring at Yuan Yuan.”
“Me… did I?” Meng Zhiwei’s eyelashes trembled slightly.
“Yes,” Wei Fangfei said helplessly. “Don’t scare Yuan Yuan, or she might misunderstand and think you don’t like her.”
Meng Zhiwei lowered her eyes and explained in a low voice, “I just think she looks a lot like my mom when she was young.”
“Really?” Wei Fangfei was surprised. “What a coincidence.”
“Yes,” Meng Zhiwei replied with a sigh.
“By the way, didn’t you say you found your niece before?” Wei Fangfei suddenly remembered. “Have you brought her back yet?”
Meng Zhiwei suddenly turned her head to look at her.
Wei Fangfei was a bit confused by her reaction and asked doubtfully, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“No,” Meng Zhiwei was uneasy, her brow furrowed. “I haven’t brought her back yet.”
“Why?” Wei Fangfei’s face showed bewilderment. “You’ve found her, so why not bring her back?”
Meng Zhiwei didn’t want to discuss this topic and perfunctorily replied, “It’s too complicated to explain clearly in a short time. I’ll find another time to tell you about it.”
“That’s fine,” Wei Fangfei nodded and changed the topic. “How is she? Isn’t Yuan Yuan beautiful?”
They had already reached the restroom. Meng Zhiwei paused her steps, as if wanting to say something, and then echoed, “Beautiful.”
“I don’t know why, but I really like her,” Wei Fangfei said before entering a stall.
Meng Zhiwei stood by the sink, staring blankly at her reflection in the mirror, recalling the information she had previously investigated about Jiang Yuan.
Didn’t they say she was a vain girl who pretended to be a socialite and hooked up with rich second-generation heirs?
This doesn’t seem to align at all with the Yuan Yuan, the animal consultant that Wei Fangfei mentioned…
Wei Fangfei came out of the restroom and walked to her side, washing her hands as she said, “Weiwei, do you know? Yuan Yuan is the first person to refuse my gift. It’s really rare; others wish I’d give them more.”
Meng Zhiwei: “Is that so?”
Seeing that she seemed uninterested, Wei Fangfei didn’t continue the topic and added with more concern in her tone, “Weiwei, are you missing Auntie Cen?”
“I miss her,” Meng Zhiwei went along with her words. “Fangfei, I don’t really have much appetite. I won’t eat with you guys.”
“Are you going back?” Wei Fangfei asked worriedly. “You haven’t had dinner yet. Have something before you go?”
Meng Zhiwei gently shook her head, “No need, I can’t eat. You guys eat.”
“Okay,” Wei Fangfei no longer insisted. “Then be careful on your way back.”
Meng Zhiwei returned to the booth seat, picked up her bag, and looked at Jiang Yuan.
Perhaps sensing her gaze, Jiang Yuan, who had been looking at her phone, lifted her eyes to look over.
Her gaze fell on the bag she was carrying, and her eyebrows slightly raised.
Meng Zhiwei’s fingers tightened, and she squeezed out a sentence from her throat, “I’m leaving now. You guys eat slowly.”
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly and said casually, “Take care.”
Meng Zhiwei: “…”
Does she know something?
Logically speaking, shouldn’t someone who is about to leave without eating have a few words of concern or be asked to stay?
“Weiwei, I’ll walk you out,” Wei Fangfei linked arms with her.
Meng Zhiwei suddenly felt as if a ball of cotton was stuck in her chest.
She took a deep breath and walked away.
Wei Fangfei saw her to the entrance and then returned. The dining table was already filled with mouth-watering dishes.
“Yuan Yuan, shall we take a group photo before we start eating?”
“Okay,” Jiang Yuan cooperated and took a few photos.
Midway through the meal, Wei Fangfei, holding her phone, looked at Jiang Yuan, her peach blossom eyes holding a hint of anticipation. “Yuan Yuan, do you mind if I post our group photo on Moments?”
“Why would I mind?” Jiang Yuan raised her eyebrows and smiled. “I’m happy to be posted on Moments by a beautiful older sister. I can only be happy.”
“That’s great,” Wei Fangfei said happily and lowered her eyes to edit her Moments post. “Done.”
Jiang Yuan picked up her phone. “I’ll be the first to like it.”
She saw Wei Fangfei’s caption and the corners of her lips curved into a smile.
【 Wei Fangfei: Eating a beautiful meal with a beautiful friend. 】
As soon as this Moments post was published, people started liking it continuously.
Meng Yunlan returned home after a gathering with friends. She opened her Moments feed, saw Wei Fangfei’s post, and her phone “thumped” as it fell to the floor.
Wei Fangfei and Jiang Yuan?
How do they know each other?
To spare Meng Zhiwei’s feelings, Wei Fangfei also included a photo of herself and Meng Zhiwei.
Meng Yunlan picked up her phone and saw the group photo of Wei Fangfei and Meng Zhiwei. Her face instantly turned pale and then flushed. She clenched her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white.
She gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with rage.
Did Meng Zhiwei take Jiang Yuan to have dinner with Wei Fangfei?
Damn that woman!
Didn’t Meng Zhiwei always claim that no matter what happened, she was her only niece?
What’s going on now?
Meng Zhiwei, you hypocritical woman!
Meng Yunlan was furious but suppressed her emotions and dared not vent her anger on Meng Zhiwei.
Meng Yunlan was not the only one who saw Wei Fangfei’s Moments post; Shen Airu also saw it.
She stared at Jiang Yuan in the photo, lost in thought for a long time.
Finally, upon seeing Meng Zhiwei’s photo, Shen Airu frowned, and a strange feeling inexplicably arose in her heart.
Weiwei is also there… Did she introduce Jiang Yuan to Fangfei?
But when did she get in touch with Jiang Yuan?
