Mr. Gu's wife is a little naughty

Chapter 125: Night Talk in the Study

Night fell as expected, and the Tian family villa area was particularly quiet tonight.

Tian Mengmeng, who seemed unconcerned about all this, was still thinking about the mysterious person from the daytime. She had become uneasy since nightfall, fearing someone would notice her abnormality. She hadn't even gone near the window the entire afternoon.

There was a knock on the door, which scared Tian Mengmeng, who was already restless. She looked towards the door with some fear.

"Who is it?"

What she didn't know was that she was so nervous that her voice began to tremble. She only felt her whole body shaking, her legs began to retreat involuntarily, and her eyes looked vigilantly at the closed door.

No one responded to her at the door, and she couldn't help but become more nervous.

"Who is there!"

She couldn't help but ask again, and this time someone finally responded to her.

"It's me, Mom!"

Hearing this familiar voice, she couldn't help but sigh secretly, and her heart, which had been beating wildly with nervousness, immediately became much calmer.

"I...I've already fallen asleep."

She quickly moved to her bedside, climbed onto it swiftly, pulled the quilt over herself and wrapped herself tightly in it, but her eyes were still somewhat panicked as she looked towards the door.

"Mom just wants to say a few words to you. I won't come in. Just listen." Jiang Lai's voice could still be heard from outside the house, and it seemed a little different from usual.

"Oh....Oh okay mom, I'm listening."

Tian Mengmeng guessed that her face must not look very good at the moment, perhaps it was really because of her nervousness.

"Well, don't blame your Uncle Tian for grounding you. After all, you went a little too far this time." Jiang Lai seemed to be hesitating. "Also, now that Tian Tian is back, I still hope you can put aside your prejudice and try to get along with her. After all, she is the real eldest daughter of this family. We should be content with the life we ​​have today."

Tian Mengmeng didn't know why her mother said this to her, but her mind was not here at all at the moment, so she just said a few perfunctory words.

"Also, it's best not to do anything stupid again. There are some situations here that you don't know about. The water here in Fanjiang is too deep. I'm afraid you will get stuck and hurt yourself." Jiang Lai was still persuading her earnestly outside the door. It was not until this time that Tian Mengmeng realized Jiang Lai's abnormality tonight.

"Hasn't she always cared about what I do? Why did she come to tell me all this tonight?" Tian Mengmeng wondered secretly in her heart, and her brows frowned even deeper.

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. Think about it carefully. Your Uncle Tian should let you out after tonight. Don't cause any more trouble."

After Jiang Lai finished saying this, he glanced at the door, sighed silently, took a sip of the red wine in his hand, and turned away helplessly.

There was no more sound coming from outside the house, and Tian Mengmeng's tense nerves finally relaxed. She kicked away the quilt covering her body and couldn't help but breathe heavily.

"Did she know something?" Tian Mengmeng glanced at the closed door, then at the window with no curtains drawn, and her heart started beating wildly again.

When Jiang Lai passed by the study, the light in the room was still on. She stood at the door and hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to go in.

Tian Zhenyuan seemed to have guessed that she would come, as if he was waiting for her.

"You...you knew I was coming?" Jiang Lai looked at Tian Zhenyuan who was sitting there and asked uncertainly.

A smile appeared on Tian Zhenyuan's face. He glanced behind her. Jiang Lai nodded, closed the door, walked over and sat down opposite him.

"How did the talk go?" Tian Zhenyuan also poured himself a glass of red wine, took a sip and asked lightly.

Jiang Lai sighed, "That child didn't seem to care about what I told her." Then she looked up at Tian Zhenyuan again, "Why are you telling me this?"

Tian Zhenyuan put down the wine glass, stared at the red liquid inside and thought for a while, then looked at Jiang Lai again.

The two of them have been together for 15 years, but this is the first time I have looked at her so carefully and attentively like today.

Jiang Lai didn't understand why Tian Zhenyuan was looking at her like that. She looked down at her body and only looked back up after making sure there was nothing wrong.

"You have been in my Tian family for 15 years!" Tian Zhenyuan suddenly said.

Jiang Lai nodded mechanically. "Thank you for taking care of us mother and daughter for so many years. Although the child caused you a lot of trouble, I still thank you for your tolerance. Even though we have only been a nominal couple for 15 years, I am still very grateful to you."

Tian Zhenyuan shook his head gently. "Thank you, you're being polite. After all, we both know what we want. It's just a matter of each of us getting what we need." He then sighed softly. "Actually, I still like Mengmeng very much, but you know we each have our own missions. I still think it's best not to involve the children in our adult grievances."

Jiang Lai agreed with Tian Zhenyuan's suggestion, but when she thought of his biological daughter Tian Tian, ​​she couldn't help but feel confused as to why he did this.

"What about Tian Tian? Can you bear to let her be dragged into this matter?" Jiang Lai asked, looking into Tian Zhenyuan's eyes.

"She was born with a mission. After all, if it weren't for the eldest brother, there would be no Tian Zhenyuan today. So for everyone in our Tian family, protecting everything that the eldest brother left behind is our Tian family's mission. Tian Tian is just a pawn in this mission." When Tian Zhenyuan said this, Jiang Lai could not see any expression on his face, as if this matter was reasonable to him.

"What exactly are you protecting? Why are the five major families so cautious? Even the Jiang and Long families are the same." Jiang Lai was also a pawn in this matter, but she was acting in a confused manner. She had not seen her husband since Tian Mengmeng was three years old. She was even sent to the Tian family after being drugged by someone from the Jiang family and was in a coma.

She just knew that the Jiang family wanted her to pay attention to Tian Zhenyuan's every move at all times, and to report everything Tian Zhenyuan did to the Jiang family, no matter how big or small.

Tian Zhenyuan interrupted Jiang Lai's thoughts, "Don't you regret telling me everything about you?"

"What?" Jiang Lai looked at Tian Zhenyuan suspiciously.

"Don't you regret betraying the Jiang family?" Tian Zhenyuan added.

Jiang Lai smiled bitterly, helplessness filling her delicate face.

"Ever since Mengmeng's father was imprisoned by them, my heart no longer belongs to the Jiang family. My heart has long been dead to that family that has no bottom line and does things without leaving any room for compromise."

Tian Zhenyuan felt deep sympathy and understanding for her situation. After all, his wife had been imprisoned by them, and he had no idea where she was or whether she was still alive. The Jiang family had gone completely mad, completely abandoning any bottom line to achieve their goals, and had no regard for the reputation of the extended family.

To be honest, if it weren't for the Long family's covert and overt support over the years, Tian Zhenyuan didn't know if he would have been able to survive. In fact, deep down, he had long hated the Jiang family.

"Okay, I promise you, no matter how this matter turns out, at least I will ensure the safety of you and your child."

Looking into Tian Zhenyuan's eyes, Jiang Lai knew that she had no way out. She could only trust Tian Zhenyuan. After all, in such a family, she actually had no room for maneuver.

Jiang Lai said nothing more, but stood up and turned to leave silently. Just like she always did, she still maintained her unique elegance and nobility.

"I will send someone to protect Mengmeng tonight, don't worry." Tian Zhenyuan added. Jiang Lai turned his head slightly to glance at him, then walked out firmly.
