NOVEL NEXT Chapter 34
He Pulled Me Out of the Abyss
Thinking of this, Meng Nianyao suddenly sneered. “Of course, you can say that I want to take revenge on you. From the moment you came to the Meng family, I treated you well and took care of you as my biological sister. You lied to me, slept with my man, brainwashed Haotian, and joined hands with you to send me to another man’s bed. You made me cuckold him, thinking that this was the only way for him to divorce me. But Jiang Shanshan, no matter how much you’ve done, I won’t be like you. If a man doesn’t love me anymore and thinks that I’m his burden, I’ll definitely let him go. I won’t pester him.”
“Meng Nianyao, don’t talk so much nonsense!” Jiang Shanshan finally remembered her purpose. She looked at Meng Nianyao stiffly. “You’re just feeling guilty and don’t dare to face my question! I still remember what you said when you left the Meng family. You said that sooner or later, you would take revenge on us! You were so powerful back then, but how long has it been since then? She could still be with Brother Haotian? I don’t believe it!”
Meng Nianyao looked down at Jiang Shanshan’s stomach and smiled. “You were able to endure the humiliation and be Meng Haotian’s mistress for so many years under my watch. What harm did he do to me? Meng Haotian did hurt me, but compared to sadness, I couldn’t sleep at night after the divorce. My mind was filled with our loving past. Perhaps others would call me stupid or muddle-headed, but no one knew that Meng Haotian was once a ray of light in my dark world. I would always remember him telling me, ‘Nianyao, don’t be afraid.’ I will take you to see the outside world, I will love you, I will protect you, I will always be with you. It was Haotian who pulled me out of the dark abyss and showed me the wonders of this world. If it weren’t for him, Meng Nianyao wouldn’t have existed. Compared to the harm he had done to me, I would rather choose to forgive him and continue to love him.”
Jiang Shanshan wanted to say something, but Meng Haotian’s deep voice came through the earpiece. “Alright, there’s no need to probe. Let’s stop here.”
Jiang Shanshan was indignant.
Meng Nianyao looked at her face and stood up. “Looks like we have nothing to talk about. Goodbye.”
…
When she returned to Splendid Garden, Meng Nianyao had just opened the door and was surprised to see two pairs of unfamiliar shoes at the door. When she looked up again, her eyes met the two old men in the living room.
Meng Nianyao was stunned.
The two old men were very old, but they looked very kind. One of the old women stood up and smiled at Meng Nianyao. “We are Gu Wencheng’s grandparents. You are… Come in, come in first.”
Gu Wencheng’s grandparents? Hearing this, Meng Nianyao stopped in her slippers, not knowing what expression to put on. She stood there without moving. The two old men looked at each other. The old man’s face was quite square, so he was extremely serious when he put on a straight face. “Why aren’t you coming in? Are we going to eat you?”
“Alright, old man, what nonsense are you talking about? Don’t scare the little girl.” The old lady cursed and waved at Meng Nianyao. “Little girl, come in quickly. Don’t listen to his nonsense. Don’t be afraid… We don’t know about Gu Wencheng’s situation, nor do we know about you… We were rude.”
“Please, Grandma, don’t say that.” Meng Nianyao walked in and introduced herself. “Hello, Grandpa and Grandma. I’m Meng Nianyao.”
“Nianyao?” The old lady walked over and sized Meng Nianyao up without batting an eyelid. Then, an even gentler smile appeared on her face. “Great, what a nice name. And she’s pretty too.”
Meng Nianyao smiled. Seeing that there was nothing on the coffee table, she said, “Grandpa, Grandma, take a seat first. I’ll go make tea for you.”
Although Meng Nianyao drank tea, she didn’t know much about it. She picked a pot of tea leaves from the cupboard, boiled some water, and went out. “Grandpa, Grandma, try it.”
Grandma Gu had been sizing up Meng Nianyao. The more she looked at her, the more she felt that this girl was good. She was polite to the elders, thoughtful, and had a gentle personality. However, she was a little introverted and didn’t like to talk.
“Alright.” Grandma Gu smiled, picked up the teacup, and blew on it. “Mm, not bad. Nianyao’s tea is not bad.”
Although she knew that Grandma Gu was probably being polite, Meng Nianyao still heaved a sigh of relief.
