“Then how do you know that they won’t like it?” Meng Jiao asked.

Meng Yao answered furiously, “Because I know them! How many days have you been here? You haven’t even met Grandma!”

Meng Jiao looked at Meng Yao and thought, She was twelve years old, but she was not as scheming as I thought. Everything was so straightforward.’

“Then, can you tell me what Grandma and Mother like, Yao?” Meng Jiao said slowly.

“Tsk, why should she tell you? Meng Yao, you can’t tell her! I really didn’t expect you to be so scheming despite your unremarkable appearance! Are you thinking that you can ostracize our Meng Yao just because you’ve fawned over the elders? Let me tell you, our Meng Yao is kind. If it were me, I would never let you enter our house!” An Xin rushed to say, her tone disdainful and arrogant.

Meng Jiao glanced at An Xin, then turned her gaze to Meng Yao.

Meng Yao pulled An Xin back and looked around at the goods in the shop. Meng Yao pointed to a Buddha statue placed in a high position in the southeast corner and said, “Give Grandma that Buddha statue. She will definitely like it.”

An Xin smiled and said, “Not bad, not bad. There’s no better gift than the Buddha statue. Old Mrs. Meng will definitely like it!”

Judging by Meng Yao and An Xin’s expressions, Meng Jiao knew that something bad was going to happen.

Meng Jiao walked over and looked at the price of the Buddha statue. She revealed a troubled expression and said, “The price…”

“Don’t you have the principal card that Mr. Meng gave you? This price is not expensive at all!” An Xin retorted when she heard that.

“If Father knew that you bought it for Grandma, he wouldn’t have disagreed,” Meng Yao said gently.

“That’s right. Only such an expensive thing can show that it’s a gift from the Meng family’s daughter. It’s only worthy of Old Mrs. Meng’s status.”An Xin said proudly.

“Perhaps I should buy it and give it to the An family to show off their status.” Ning Jia’s cold voice sounded behind An Xin and Meng Yao.

Their souls were about to scatter as they hurriedly turned around.

“Mother!” Meng Jiao turned around and exclaimed in surprise.

In fact, when Ning Jia came in, Meng Jiao had already seen Ning Jia and the bodyguards following behind her from the reflection of the mirror. It was just that Meng Yao and An Xin’s attention was on Meng Jiao, so they did not notice.

Ning Jia reached out to pull Meng Jiao over and said to the shop assistant, “Pack up the things my daughter likes and send them to the Meng residence.”

Then, Ning Jia pulled Meng Jiao’s hand and walked out without even looking at Meng Yao and An Xin.

Meng Yao felt her legs go weak. She said, “Mother, aren’t you going to take a look at the gifts that Yao chose for you and Grandma?”

“No matter what Meng Jiao buys, it’s all because of her sincerity. Grandma and I will like it,” Ning Jia said lightly without turning her head.

The coldness in her tone made Meng Yao shiver. She knew that Ning Jia was angry with her.

An Xin was even more nervous. She quickly followed Ning Jia and smiled apologetically, “Mrs. Meng, let me accompany you to the shop.”

Ning Jia stopped and turned to look at An Xin. She pulled Meng Jiao in front of her and put her hand on her shoulder. She said expressionlessly, “An Xin, this is my daughter, Meng Jiao. You will be classmates in the future. I don’t want to hear anyone bully her in the future, do you understand?”

An Xin was so scared that she almost cried. If her father knew about this, he would probably beat her to death!

“Mrs. Meng, I-I was just joking with Meng Jiao. We… Meng Yao and I are good friends, so I will naturally be good friends with Meng Jiao. I will definitely get along well with Meng Jiao and protect her!” An Xin promised Ning Jia incoherently.

Ning Jia looked at An Xin deeply, she pulled Meng Jiao, turned around, and left without saying a word. She did not even urge Meng Yao to follow.

After Meng Yao and An Xin looked at each other, Meng Yao did not dare to say anything and quickly followed.

Ning Jia pointed to a few shops and said to the bodyguards, “Ask their manager to bring the product brochure to our house.”

Ning Jia was no longer in the mood to shop, so she might as well get someone to send her home to choose from.

Meng Jiao quickly followed Ning Jia until they got into the nanny van. Then, she asked carefully, “Mother, are you in a bad mood?”

Ning Jia glanced at the submissive Meng Yao and said to her with a pleasant expression, “No, I’m just tired from shopping and want to go home to rest. I’ll get a few good shops to send over the brochures. We can choose at home.”

Meng Jiao widened her eyes and said in surprise, “You can do that? Mother, you’re so smart.”

Ning Jia could not help but feel happy when she heard Meng Jiao’s childish words. She reached out and patted Meng Jiao’s head, thinking that she was still her child. Even though Meng Jiao had not been by her side for so many years, she was still considerate.
