Chapter 164: Retreat as Advance

Mrs. Meng's hand tapped the edge of the coffee table rhythmically.

　　

Her sharp eyes stared at Hua Lili for several minutes before slowly moving away.
　　

She said calmly: "In that case, let's do a paternity test."
　　

Hua Lili's heart sank severely.

　　

What she feared most came true.
　　

She knew that the Meng family was not so easy to fool.
　　

But she won't give up so easily.
　　

She had been brewing for a long time, and her eyes finally became moist.
　　

She raised her eyes with a pitiful look: "Mrs. Meng, you don't believe me, right? It doesn't actually matter. I have lived for more than twenty years without the protection of my parents, and I have grown to this size smoothly. The desire for family affection is not strong. Since you don’t believe me, there is no need for me to stay here.”
　　

Hua Lili took a step forward and stretched out her hand to Mrs. Meng, "Give me back the jade pendant. This is mine."
　　

Mrs. Meng squinted her eyes and looked at her.
　　

She didn't know if this girl was really sad, or if she was planning to retreat in order to advance...
　　

She raised her hand and threw the carp pattern jade pendant over.
　　

Hua Lili caught it quickly.
　　

She turned around and took a step, but then turned back.
　　MsShe bit her lip and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Meng, actually I liked you very much the first time I met you... But because you met Jiang Jin, you started to hate me...
　　

The true colors of Jiang Jin is clearly stated in the online news. How can you be biased against me just because of a person with questionable character?"
　　

"How come you are biased when we ask for a paternity test?" Mr. Meng said softly, "You have the jade pendant of our Meng family in your hand. It is normal for us to ask for a paternity test, but still, this jade pendant does not belong to you at all, right?"

Hua Lili's hand shook suddenly.
　　

Both of them are over 70 years old, how come they are still so smart?
　　

She took a deep breath and her expression became even more pitiful: "If you think this jade pendant is not mine, I have nothing to say... Maybe, I was born to be alone, and I was born not qualified to have family affection..."
　　

She bowed deeply, "Mrs. Meng, Mr. Meng, I know you don't like me, so I'd better leave first."
　　

What a great move to turn retreat into advance!
　

Mrs. Meng tensed her jaw.
　　

Is this because of a guilty conscience, or is it a first step to give the Meng family a show of strength and want the Meng family to support it?
　　

"Hey, Lili, why are you leaving?" Seeing that the two elders of the Meng family didn't respond, Mrs. Zhang quickly took Hua Lili's hand.

At the same time, Mrs. Zhang was also quite depressed.
　　

At the charity auction yesterday, Mrs. Meng was obviously looking forward to finding her granddaughter.
　　

Why did Mrs. Meng look unhappy after she personally delivered the Meng family's granddaughter to her door?
　　

What exactly is the problem?
　　

"Lili, Mrs. Meng is right. We should indeed do a paternity test." Mrs. Zhang said angrily, "As soon as the results of the paternity test come out, won't everyone be happy?"
　　

Hua Lili was about to cry.

She bit her lower lip and whispered: "But my grandparents don't like me... Even if it is proven that I am the granddaughter of the Meng family, so what, I still don't deserve to be liked by my family...
　　

In this case, it would be better not to do an appraisal, or not find my family, so that I can continue to imagine that I have a family who loves me and is always looking for me..."
　　

She practiced these words all night long.
　　

Expression, tone, pause, speaking speed, eyes...
　　

She nailed every detail.
　　

Mrs. Zhang was a little moved.
　　

The expressions of Mrs. Meng and Mr. Meng also softened a lot.
　　

They checked Hua Lili and found that she was indeed a child from the Hongri Orphanage and that she was indeed twenty-eight years old...
　　

Perhaps, this is indeed the granddaughter of their Meng family...
　　

At this moment, the door to the room was pushed open.

At the same time, Meng Shen's voice came: "Why didn't you two close the door? What if bad guys break in... Hey, it's quite lively here?"
　　

Meng Shen's footsteps stopped at the door of the room.

Because he came to see his parents, he only wore sunglasses and no disguise, and his face was directly exposed in front of Hua Lili.
　　

Hua Lili was stunned.
　　

Meng Shen!
　　

Meng Shen, a top player in the entertainment industry!
　　

The man who had an affair with Jiang Jin!
　　

Nowadays, reporters in the entertainment industry are vying for interviews!
　　

Why did he suddenly appear in the hotel room where the two elders of the Meng family lived?
　　

"Since you have guests, I'll come back later." Meng Shen turned around and was about to go out.
　　

"Sit down." Mrs. Meng said coldly, "Today's matter also has something to do with you, and we have to ask your opinion."
　　

Meng Shen pushed up his sunglasses: "What does it have to do with me?"

"I asked you to sit down. Where did all this nonsense come from?" Mr. Meng took his collar and pushed him directly onto the sofa.
　　

Mrs. Zhang was more direct and asked with a smile: "Old madam, who is this?"
　　

Mrs. Meng said calmly: "After all, my granddaughter is separated from us by a generation. Meng Shen still has to make the decision on this matter."
　　

Hua Lili's heart skipped a beat.

Meng Shen is also named Meng, could it be...
　　

Moreover, Meng Shen also gave Jiang Jin a crown worth one billion, so maybe he already knows Jiang Jin’s identity!
　　

Thinking of this, Hua Lili's face turned pale.
　　

A thin layer of sweat oozed from her palms, and she already had the idea of ​​​​escape.
　　

"The other half of the jade pendant has been found." Mrs. Meng said calmly, "This young lady named Hua is most likely a bloodline of our Meng family..."
　　

"What?!"
　　

Meng Shen's brows furrowed tightly.
　　

He stared at the half-broken jade pendant in Hua Lili's hand and said with some disbelief, "Just because of a piece of jade pendant, do you think she is my daughter?"
　　

Mrs. Zhang was stunned: "Mr. Meng and Meng Shen are actually from the Meng family in the capital?"
　　

"What else?" Meng Shen said coldly, "I, Meng Shenxing, will not change my name or my surname, but you guys came to the door with a jade pendant. What are your intentions?"
　　

Mrs. Zhang was very shocked.
　　

The Meng family in the capital was already great, but with the addition of Meng Shen, the Meng family would be unbelievable.
　　

If they can climb aboard this giant ship, the Zhang family will become prosperous.

A flattering smile appeared on Mrs. Zhang's face: "I heard that Mrs. Meng was looking for her granddaughter, so I asked someone to find out the whereabouts of the jade pendant. I didn't dare to delay for a minute and sent the jade pendant to her.

Mr. Meng Shen, if there are no accidents, this Miss Hua should be your daughter who has been living abroad for 28 years. "
　　

She pulled out Hua Lili, who was trembling a little.
　　

Then she handed the jade pendant to Meng Shen, "This half of the jade pendant and the half of the jade pendant in Mrs. Meng's hand were originally one piece. Miss Hua was originally supposed to be surnamed Meng. Your family has been separated for twenty-eight years, so you should..."
　　

Mrs. Zhang hasn't finished her sentence yet.
　　

The jade pendant in her hand was snatched away by Meng Shen.
　　

Then, he raised his hand and threw it out of the window.

Hua Lili was in disbelief.

She rushed to the window and saw an artificial lake downstairs. If the jade pendant fell into it, there would be no splashes.
