Cheng Shimumeng ignored the confusion of the two and continued playing the riddle master.
She had said she would investigate the An family matters, so she would investigate immediately.
In this city, as long as it was information she wanted, no matter what it was, it would easily reach her ears.
Not to mention a place like the An family… just listening to some gossip was enough to understand the whole story.
First was the incident of the two An family daughters running away from home…
In a sense, it could not really be called running away from home.
They had only gone out to stay for one day and returned the next day.
According to what Cheng Shimumeng had learned, the matter was not much different from what An Yu had said.
When faced with Jiang Qinghe and An Yunfan’s inexplicable accusations… An Qing had stepped forward to protect An Yu.
The girl slightly curved her lips and revealed a somewhat pleased smile.
Even now, she still remembered the impression An Qing had given when she first met her.
Although that somewhat beautiful girl was smiling, Cheng Shimumeng could tell at a glance that the smile was as fake as it could be.
An Qing’s eyes were somewhat gloomy, and those crimson eyes were filled with hatred.
Therefore… no matter what, Cheng Shimumeng would not allow An Qing to get close to An Yu.
Because that hatred was most likely directed at An Yu.
At least from the information Cheng Shimumeng could obtain, that was the case.
The true daughter who had returned from the wild resented the pampered fake.
Perhaps there was nothing wrong with that…
But Cheng Shimumeng felt that anyone who could hate someone like An Yu was truly something else.
An Yu was like a cute little animal, gentle and adorable, occasionally making some unexpectedly tender gestures.
No matter how great the resentment, directing it at An Yu was wrong.
However, Cheng Shimumeng really did not understand where such great hatred came from in An Qing.
But before she could understand, the hatred on An Qing had been swept away completely.
In its place was…
Hehe… An Yu had truly given her a huge surprise.
Even someone like that could unknowingly change because of An Yu.
Cheng Shimumeng gently pressed her finger to the corner of her lips and revealed a pleased smile.
And now… An Qing and An Yu probably thought those two people were not home, right?
Unfortunately, due to some other circumstances, they had not left.
Perhaps because Chen Guang had nothing better to do than promote these two sisters, she also wanted to see what choice would be made when facing an unexpected situation again.
This was a test… and also an opportunity.
Of course, no matter how An Qing chose, Cheng Shimumeng would not let An Yu have any problems.
If An Qing’s behavior was unsatisfactory… she would take the opportunity to take An Yu away from the An family.
Otherwise… she would choose to wait.
An Qing, oh An Qing, let me see if you can become part of my plan~
“Isn’t this, Cheng Shimumeng, why are you not saying a single word and not even responding to questions?!”
Huai Xiang angrily patted Cheng Shimumeng’s shoulder.
Looking at her somewhat hunched back, Huai Xiang even wanted to kick her.
“Ah, Xiangxiang… did you say something?”
Cheng Shimumeng looked at Huai Xiang with a face full of smiles, as if nothing had happened.
“Hiss…” Huai Xiang sucked in a breath of cold air.
“I have asked almost a hundred times already. Where are we going?!”
“Well…” Cheng Shimumeng blinked.
“Mall?”
“Question form?”
Huai Xiang widened her eyes and looked at Cheng Shimumeng with an incredulous face, as if she had not expected her to be so unreliable.
“Probably.”
Huai Xiang got even angrier.
“Probably??”
“Aiya, it’s nothing. Let’s just go to the mall and play,” she had originally thought Cheng Shimumeng had a reason, that there was a promotion there or something that needed to be done without An Yu.
In the end, what kind of tone was this?
Why did it seem like going to a mall was something she had just thought of on the spot?
“Mm… yeah, let’s go quickly~”
Cheng Shimumeng smiled, as if she did not want to elaborate on this matter any further.
“You you you!”
Huai Xiang was clearly furious, but before she could do anything, she was pulled back by Ning Wanciu beside her.
“Alright… let’s just go to the mall with Shimumeng.”
Ning Wanciu smiled gently and did not look unwilling at all.
“Ah, Wanciu, you’re siding with her too!”
“It’s not that… it’s just that the few of us really have not gone out to play together like this in a long time, right?” Ning Wanciu shook her head.
“So, it doesn’t matter, right?”
Ning Wanciu spoke while staring at Huai Xiang somewhat seriously.
Seeing this, Huai Xiang could only nod silently.
Damn it… if it were Cheng Shimumeng, this bad woman, saying this, she could refute it.
But if it was Ning Wanciu saying it, she really had nothing to say…
Huai Xiang raised her head with puffed cheeks.
Her light purple eyes looked somewhat resentful.
Cheng Shimumeng seized the opportunity and spoke with a light smile.
“You see, Wanciu said so too~”
“Hmph!”
Forget it, forget it.
She would not bother arguing with this bad woman.
Going to the mall was fine.
Anyway, it had indeed been a long time since she last went out to play.
Thinking this way, Huai Xiang quickly stepped forward and headed toward the mall’s location, soon leaving Ning Wanciu and Cheng Shimumeng a short distance behind.
Seeing her leave in a hurry, Ning Wanciu smiled helplessly and slowly shook her head.
This Xiangxiang… really.
She had just wanted to follow when she saw Cheng Shimumeng staring at her.
Ning Wanciu also looked at the green-haired girl before her with a serious expression.
Cheng Shimumeng… when she was reliable, she was truly very reliable.
But if she had her own goals, she would do many outrageous things.
This was Ning Wanciu’s deep realization after getting along for so long.
Ning Wanciu did not know why Cheng Shimumeng had to let An Yu go home with An Qing, nor why she used this excuse to send Huai Xiang away.
In any case, this strangeness definitely had some hidden purpose.
“You really have no questions, Wanciu?”
Cheng Shimumeng smiled slightly and looked very calm.
“Mm… if I asked, would you tell me?”
Of course she would not tell Ning Wanciu about her harem plan for An Yu.
Ning Wanciu also returned a smile.
Cheng Shimumeng only shook her head.
“I wouldn’t~”
It was still too early to say now.
Or rather… Ning Wanciu was walking at the very front…
Her possessiveness was stronger than she herself imagined.
Even if Ning Wanciu could accept Ning Dongli, after hearing her plan, she would definitely find it unimaginable.
However, rest assured, I am acting so that everyone can obtain happiness~
Cheng Shimumeng spoke with a light smile.
This was the truth, and also her only purpose.
“Is that so…”
Ning Wanciu narrowed her eyes slightly.
Although she did not know what Cheng Shimumeng meant by everyone being able to be happy.
But she at least knew that Cheng Shimumeng was not harming anyone.
She always had a feeling of relief.
She had just let out a breath when she heard Cheng Shimumeng continue speaking.
“By the way, I have also asked for An Yu’s opinion.”
