Chapter 1920: Deliberately Tearing Off the Mask

Jiang Motian did manage to see a bit of what was going on.

She tilted her head and explained on Sun Qing's behalf: "Qingqing isn't saying that my eldest brother is narrow-minded, but rather that she's worried about things being awkward if everyone meets in the future."

This explanation made Sun Qing heave a sigh of relief.

Then she added: "This is also my father's intention; he feels that since our two families are on good terms, there shouldn't be any friction between the children."

"So that's how it is. Hey, you should have said so earlier!"

Li Moning's face showed a sudden realization, and then she took a sip of juice.

She then picked up a shrimp coated in sauce and chewed it in her mouth.

Mmm, delicious!

Li Moning ate with enjoyment.

Sun Qing, however, felt a tightness in her chest!

Really, she had never seen someone so bad at holding a conversation!

Yet, Sun Qing couldn't show any look of disgust.

On the contrary, she had to take the responsibility upon herself: "It's because I was too anxious, so I didn't express myself properly."

"If you ask me, you don't need to be anxious. Even if my eldest brother has a bad impression of you, there's still my second brother, isn't there?"

Li Moning's unintentional remark made Sun Qing's smile freeze instantly.

But Li Moning was looking down and didn't see that momentary stiffness.

She continued: "When my second brother comes back, I'll help you say some nice things; I guarantee my second brother will have a great impression of you."

"No, no, there's no need!"

"Don't be so polite. You've already given us gifts, so helping you out a little is only right."

"I really don't need it, let's just eat!"

After saying this, Sun Qing couldn't care about dieting anymore; she picked up a piece of spare rib and stuffed it into her mouth.

Afterward, she ate and ate, as if she were too busy to talk.

Sun Qing had, of course, met Jiang Mobai before.

But she had disliked Jiang Mobai since she was a child.

Because that guy always liked to tease her and make her lose face.

She heard that over these years, Jiang Mo-

-bai had changed countless girlfriends abroad.

Sun Qing had seen plenty of people like that.

She felt an instinctive aversion to him.

Naturally, she didn't want to get involved with him.

Sun Qing's unusual behavior caught Li Moning's attention.

Li Moning had long since noticed that Sun Qing was being insincere.

She could also feel that this woman had ulterior motives regarding her eldest brother.

It was normal to have designs on her eldest brother.

But couldn't she be a bit more open and aboveboard?

Going in such big circles, and even looking down on her second brother...

Well, the second brother probably deserved to be looked down upon.

But all in all, this was a vain woman.

Li Moning didn't like her.

Facing someone she didn't like...

Li Moning suddenly curled her lips and asked with a smile: "Sister Qingqing, I have a question I don't quite understand."

That "Sister Qingqing" made Sun Qing's heart tremble.

Sun Qing absolutely did not want to engage with this little girl.

But she couldn't.

Sun Qing could only adjust her mindset, meet Li Moning's gaze, and say gently: "What is it?"

"You said you wanted to get along well with my father's children, so why are you avoiding my second brother like the plague?"

"Ah, this... how am I avoiding him? My thought is that your second brother has seen so many beauties that he might find someone like me, a mere common face, to be an eyesore."

"It's true that my second brother likes beauties, but he doesn't measure everything by beauty, such as friendship. You're so cautious, could it be that you want to... with my second brother?"

As Li Moning said this, she raised an eyebrow.

Her expression was quite suggestive.

Sun Qing was instantly disgusted!

She hurriedly said: "No, no, I don't mean that at all!"

"But I do! I suddenly think you and my second brother are a great match! How about I give your contact information to my second brother?"

"No need."

"Don't be shy."

【Line 56 is a continuation of 55】

"I already said no need, can't you understand that!"

Sun Qing completely lost her composure, opened her mouth, and shouted.

Then, the scene turned awkward.

And Sun Qing regained her calm.

She became flustered, seemingly wanting to apologize, yet afraid of not being accepted.

At this moment, Jiang Motian was the first to break the silence: "Sorry, my sister is spoiled and speaks without thinking."

"It's my fault; Momo meant well, I was just too impatient, sorry."

Li Moning, however, showed no change in expression.

She shrugged and replied: "I'm not a dictator; you can contradict me, everyone has freedom of speech."

After saying this, she lowered her head and continued drinking her juice.

Sun Qing looked at Jiang Motian helplessly and muttered: "I think I've offended Momo..."

"Don't take it to heart, she just has a childish temper, she'll be fine in a moment."

Jiang Motian smiled as she comforted Sun Qing, looking very gentle.

But Sun Qing was not satisfied with her performance at all!

Because Jiang Motian's words were just playing both sides.

She didn't side with her, nor did she help by reprimanding Li Moning.

Thinking back to the conversation just now...

Actually, if Jiang Motian had wanted to, she could have stopped Li Moning at any time and kept her from saying those overstepping things.

But she didn't!

Sun Qing couldn't figure out what Jiang Motian's attitude was, and for a moment, she didn't speak.

Jiang Motian could indeed have stopped the conversation just now.

And the reason she didn't intervene was because she saw that Li Moning was intentionally annoying Sun Qing.

As for the reason, she also knew it.

It was nothing more than wanting to tear off the mask and keep a distance from Sun Qing, so as not to have to look at her hypocritical appearance.

Jiang Motian didn't mind letting her sister be a little willful.

Anyway, with her presiding over the big picture,

it was enough to keep everyone's face intact.

Once tonight was over, everyone would go their separate ways tomorrow.

Jiang Motian didn't need to keep fantasizing about gaining another friendship...

In an awkward silence, Sun Qing stood up, lowered her eyes, and said: "I'm full, I'm going back to my room to rest."

Jiang Motian didn't ask her to stay, only letting a servant take Sun Qing to her bedroom.

But as soon as she left, Li Moning wanted to vent.

But Jiang Motian stopped her.

Then she took Li Moning back to their shared bedroom.

"I'll take a shower first, then we can talk."

Jiang Motian wanted to change her mood first, so she went to the bathroom.

After taking a fragrant shower, Jiang Motian's mood was indeed a bit more relaxed.

She even suggested to Li Moning: "Do you want to go take a shower?"

"No, I can't wait to vent to you about that woman!"

"Alright, then go ahead."

Jiang Motian replied, then sat in front of the vanity mirror to apply skincare products.

Li Moning leaned behind Jiang Motian, wanting to speak.

But a fragrant scent drifted into her nostrils first.

Li Moning sniffed hard, then said intoxicatedly: "Sis, you smell so good, what body wash did you use?"

"Just that purple bottle, it's in the bathroom."

"I want to wash up and smell fragrant in a bit too!"

After saying this, Li Moning tilted her head to look at the woman in the mirror and muttered: "I feel like you've become very charming since you started dating."

Jiang Motian laughed: "Are you wearing your own filters?"

"Not at all, it's true! Sis, does dating make you have feminine charm?"

This...

Jiang Motian felt it was a bit awkward to talk about this topic with her sister who was still a student, so she brought up something else: "Weren't you going to vent about Sun Qing?"

Venting...

Oh my, I was

so dazzled by my sister's beauty that I forgot the main business!
