Chapter 327 How can we stop all of this?
"Lanlan?" Shen Airu asked, somewhat surprised. "Why is she telling you all this?"

As she went downstairs to the lobby, Meng Zhiwei said to the aunt beside her, "Aunt Liu, brew a pot of tea that I just brought and take it to the garden."

"Okay, Weiwei," Aunt Liu replied.

The two women, an aunt and her sister-in-law, arrived at the pavilion in the back garden of the villa.

After Meng Zhiwei sat down, she sighed softly, "When has this girl ever seen me not talking about you?"

"Is that so?" Shen Airu replied with a half-smile. "She certainly has a kind heart."

"Sister-in-law," Meng Zhiwei said tentatively, scrutinizing the expression on her face, "Did you see Fangfei's post on WeChat Moments last week?"

Shen Airu didn't answer immediately, but frowned slightly in thought: "Was it Fangfei's post on WeChat Moments last week?"

The fact that Meng Zhiwei asked this question means that Wei Fangfei was unaware of the phone call he made that night.

Shen Airu lowered her eyes and shook her head: "I don't remember. Let me check now."

She pretended to take out her phone.

Meng Zhiwei reached out and took her phone, placing it aside. "Since you didn't see it, let me tell my sister-in-law."

"What is it?" Shen Airu looked at her in confusion.

“Fangfei asked me to meet her last week, but when I arrived, I found there was someone else there,” Meng Zhiwei said softly. “It was Jiang Yuan.”

Shen Airu's brows furrowed slightly. "Jiang Yuan."

“Yes.” Meng Zhiwei’s tone was tinged with melancholy. “I had no idea how to face her, nor did I know what my elder brother and sister-in-law thought, so I left without even eating.”

"So that's how it is." Shen Airu sighed.

“Sister-in-law,” Meng Zhiwei’s eyes were fixed on the woman opposite her, “earlier…”

She suddenly fell silent, and Aunt Liu brought over a pot of tea, refilling both of their teacups.

"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Liu." After saying that, Meng Zhiwei picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Shen Airu. "Sister-in-law, try this tea. I brought it back from my business trip."

"Okay." Shen Airu took the tea.

Seeing that Aunt Liu had walked away out of the corner of her eye, Meng Zhiwei continued the conversation, "Didn't we say we'd give that child some money and not bring him back?"

Shen Airu opened her mouth, then suddenly wanted to slap herself hard for saying those words.

How could you say such heinous things to your own flesh and blood?
Shen Airu's eyes burned, and a layer of misty tears welled up in them.

Seeing her reaction, Meng Zhiwei frowned almost imperceptibly. "Sister-in-law? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Shen Airu wiped away her tears with her fingers, looked directly into the other person's eyes, and asked, "Weiwei, do you think what we're doing is appropriate?"

Meng Zhiwei's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, she said, "I...I don't know how to say it either."

“Yuan Yuan is the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to,” Shen Airu said, choking back tears. “Weiwei, can you understand? You’ve never given birth, so maybe you can’t understand this feeling.”

Meng Zhiwei pursed her lips and remained silent.

Perhaps she can understand.

Although she never experienced ten months of pregnancy, she spent ten months with that person.

Meng Zhiwei remained silent for a moment before changing the subject: "Sister-in-law, what about Lanlan? Have you considered Lanlan's feelings? Although she wasn't born from your pregnancy, you've been her only mother since birth."

"It's because I've been considering Lanlan's feelings that I haven't brought my biological daughter back yet," Shen Airu suddenly said, her emotions rising.

“Weiwei, Yuanyuan is not only my biological daughter, but also your biological niece.”

Meng Zhiwei looked slightly taken aback.

How could she not know that?

She knew it better than anyone. But so what?
Jiang Yuan is no match for Lanlan.

“Sister-in-law, I know Jiang Yuan is my niece.” Meng Zhiwei put aside her thoughts and said seriously, “But Lanlan has lived with us for so many years, so she is definitely more important to me.”

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Lanlan has been well-behaved and sensible since she was little. We've protected her too much, so she's fragile and sensitive. If we bring Jiang Yuan back, Lanlan will definitely feel neglected and abandoned."

Shen Airu stared at her blankly, and murmured, "Then Weiwei, what do you think we should do?"

Meng Zhiwei fell silent again.

After a moment, she sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, I've said everything I need to say. You can think about the rest yourselves."

After saying that, she stood up and left.

Shen Airu stared at her retreating figure, her eyes filled with doubt and scrutiny.

Did Weiwei and Lanlan have such a deep relationship before?
Meng Zhiwei and Shen Airu parted on bad terms.

She got back into the car, her heart filled with unease.

Shen Airu's attitude makes it highly likely that she will bring Jiang Yuan back.

Lanlan will definitely be very sad once Jiang Yuan returns.

Meng Zhiwei gripped the steering wheel tightly, her furrowed brows revealing deep thought.

How can we stop all of this?
**
Jiang Yuan hasn't done a live stream for a week.

The kittens that were brought back on the 9th have gotten even fatter.

Jiang Yuan was very satisfied and took a set of photos of them, which were then posted on a live streaming platform to lay the groundwork for finding them a suitable owner.

Deng Rui, wearing a sun hat and sunglasses, walked over and said, "Yuan Yuan, I need to go out for a bit."

"Mom, where are you going?" Jiang Yuan stood up and asked her, "Going hiking?"

“I went to the housekeeping company,” Deng Rui explained. “She said she had some new candidates and asked me to go and take a look.”

She wasn't satisfied with the aunties she had seen the previous times.

Finding a housekeeper is not an easy task, and Deng Rui didn't want to bring back a troublesome woman to annoy her.

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Then I'll go with you."

"Okay," Deng Rui said with a smile, "Let's go."

Jiang Yuan was wearing sporty loungewear, which she could wear directly out.

The mother and daughter arrived at the housekeeping company, where Manager Zhang warmly welcomed them into his office.

"Ms. Deng, is this your daughter? She's so pretty."

“Yes.” Deng Rui was even happier to hear others praising Jiang Yuan than they were praising herself. “My daughter was the school beauty when she was in school.”

"This look must be from you." Manager Zhang's smile stretched almost to his temples.

Manager Zhang was a plump middle-aged woman, wearing a fitted white short-sleeved shirt and black trousers, her hair neatly pulled back, and a small red mole between her eyebrows.

"Manager Zhang, where is the person you mentioned? Has he arrived yet?" Deng Rui skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point.

"Almost there." Manager Zhang glanced at his watch. "He sent a WeChat message saying there was traffic on the way, so he took the subway. Another person is coming by electric bike. They should be here soon."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the young woman at the front desk knocked on the door. "Manager Zhang, the applicant has arrived."

"Bring them in directly," Manager Zhang said.

"Okay," the young receptionist replied, leading a plump woman into the office.

The plump woman rushed in and asked anxiously, "Manager Zhang, is there work to be done?"
