Not long after Meng Ting and the old lady finished talking, Hou Shuqin personally came to visit. The old lady did not dare to treat her lightly, and immediately entertained her.

"Grandma Meng, you don't have to be so busy." As it was suddenly Hou Shuqin's visit and it was already time for dinner, the old lady hurriedly ordered the kitchen to prepare some food.

"Then, what do you want to eat? Let's go outside?" The old lady was well aware of the host's friendship. If she had come hungry, then she definitely could not let her go back with an empty stomach. Otherwise, she would be the laughingstock of those people.

As an elder, Old Mistress Meng always had a lot of these traditional etiquette in his head.

However, Hou Shuqin was unreserved, she shook her head, "Really, there's no need to prepare. Grandma Meng, I only came to pass a message, it's just a matter of a few minutes, you don't have to go through so much trouble."

The Old Mistress Meng listened and said amiably: "What did he say? Madam Hou asked you to come, right? "

Hou Shuqin nodded: "Yes, it was my mother who asked me to say. You two should know about what happened between Meng Luo and I. But no one could have imagined that Meng's business would suffer such a huge loss in such a short week. If you want to say that it has nothing to do with us, even we cannot justify ourselves. "

The old lady told the kitchen to stop preparing for now and knew that this child was someone who was easy to deal with. She opened her mouth and said, "Although Meng Luo and I greeted each other previously, no one predicted that the market would be like this."

Hou Shuqin then said: "It's just a large tree rousing the wind, we have already predicted that after a while, when the temperature of this matter drops, it should be fine. So my mother came today to ask me to send you a letter of promise saying that you don't have to worry about it. Although this matter didn't happen, the two families can still get along and this is the only way for them to prosper for a long time. "

The Old Mistress Meng thought so, "The Hou Family is a large business family, their words and actions are way above ordinary business people. Since they have already said this, I think there is no need to be polite. Miss Hou, please pass on my reply to your mother: In that case, we will no longer be entangled with this matter. In the future, the Meng and Hou families will be friends, not enemies. "Thank you very much for your mother's concern."

Hou Shuqin nodded: "I understand, then I will take my leave, Grandma Meng, please take care." With that, Hou Shuqin prepared to stand up and leave.

But Old Mistress Meng did not plan to let this person who was supposed to be her grandson leave just like that. Old Mistress Meng did not get up for a long time, and asked Hou Shuqin instead, "Don't worry Miss Hou, the kitchen didn't make dinner, but a few small snacks just came out. Although I am not able to properly entertain you, I will still invite you to have a taste of my family's ordinary food.

Hou Shuqin groaned in her heart. Actually, she had long wished to leave, but this old lady was stubborn and stubborn. If she could not get along with him properly, she might cause trouble in the future.

Therefore, she could only reluctantly agree to sit down.

When the person from the kitchen had just brought out the snacks, Old Mistress Meng immediately put the snacks into Hou Shuqin's hands in an extremely attentive manner.

"Miss Hou, actually, I wanted to ask you some questions, do you mind?"

Hou Shuqin smiled, tasted a bit of the dim sum, and drank a bit of the tea, happily praising: "This is a really good dim sum. Grandma Meng's kitchen skills are quite good. "

The old lady laughed to the point that her eyes narrowed. "Eat more if you want to."

"Oh, Grandmother, what do you want to ask?" Hou Shuqin did not care about body management in the first place, when he saw especially delicious food, he could not control his own mouth, just like most normal girls.

"How did you and Meng Luo get along during this period of time?"

Hou Shuqin knew that she would probably need to ask this. Fortunately she was prepared for it, Hou Shuqin happily picked up a piece of dessert and said indifferently:

"Actually, we can get along quite well if we were to be friends. However, it might really be inappropriate to be a life partner."

The sentence was simple and clear, Hou Shuqin had purposely said those words to stop him from continuing. What she did not expect was that the older she was, the sharper the ginger. The old lady did not react to her words, but instead threw a question at her.

However, Meng Luo told me a few days ago that he had never liked you since the first time we met. "Don't worry. My old woman has always been concerned about her grandson's marriage since she was old, so be a bit more obedient. You, as a young girl, should take more responsibility."

Hou Shuqin nodded his head, but the dim sum in his hand was a sign of her unhappiness.

The Old Mistress Meng continued to speak: "The reason why Meng Luo told me about this matter was because he forced me to tell you about it. The reason why I told you about this matter is because the way he talks and acts is too sudden, so I hope you do not take offense to him."

Hou Shuqin put down the dim sum, his face still carrying a beautiful smile: "We've known each other for so long, I never thought that Meng Luo would still be hiding such a deep thought. It's true that we broke up peacefully, and I don't really care. You don't have to worry about that, and you don't have to worry about it anymore. "

The old lady nodded in understanding.

However, what Hou Shuqin said next made her unable to remain calm.

Hou Shuqin casually continued: "But maybe you don't know your grandson that well either."

"What do you mean?"

"I say, have you ever thought about whether it's because of someone else instead of me that Meng Luo stopped this matter?"

Hou Shuqin's words were tactful, but a person with such a rich experience of life and society like Old Mistress Meng would definitely understand what she meant.

The meaning behind these words, was that Meng Luo was the leader of this matter, and it wasn't because Hou Shuqin wasn't unattractive. But in Meng Luo's heart, there was already someone else.

The old lady was extremely shocked. She immediately thought that her provocation was very effective and she immediately managed to elicit some words from this young marquis' daughter.

Some truths that she couldn't deduce from Meng Luo's mouth.

That was, from the beginning till the end, Meng Luo had never paid attention to this matter. He kept pretending that he already had someone in his heart, but for some reason, he didn't say it.

The old lady's heart was in turmoil. After sending Hou Shuqin off, her frown deepened.

No matter what reason Meng Luo did not tell him, the girl he liked was definitely going to be troublesome.

This was Old Mistress Meng's intuition. Her first instinct had been real for years.

Meng Luo, this time, you have truly disappointed Grandma.

In the living room, Meng Ting quietly appeared behind the door. Seeing the old lady sitting alone on the sofa, deep in thought, she guessed that she had achieved her goal.
