I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 67 But I will definitely treat you as my own daughter.

"Your child?!"

The woman rubbed her shoulders, looked at Zhou Heng and the other two, and raised her eyebrows high.

"Which one is your child? How did you raise them? How rude! I'm their elder, after all!"

The woman glared at Zhou Heng and Tang Zhi, her nose twitching, her lips pursed, and she looked utterly speechless.

Yin Mengran leaned against Tang Zhi's chest, head down, not daring to look ahead.

She knew she was the one who caused all this trouble, even involving Zhou Heng and Tang Zhi, who had nothing to do with her but had gotten themselves into it.

Which parent would allow their child to associate with someone like them? There's always the possibility of trouble arising from that; they themselves are quite a burden.

So when Liu Wei arrived, Yin Mengran only felt guilty. It was all because of her presence that this kind of person had been attracted...

Liu Wei frowned, looking extremely dissatisfied. She pointed towards Zhou Heng and the others, and said:

"All three are my children. Who are you calling rude? Say it again and see!"

"!"

Upon hearing Liu Wei's words, Yin Mengran suddenly raised her head, tears still glistening on her face, and looked at her in disbelief.

Am I... included in this too? Like Zhou Heng and Tang Zhi?

If she were to be ostracized at this time, it would indeed make her feel very sad, as if she were superfluous.

But now, Yin Mengran felt a surge of security, which made her feel like she was being protected by her mother again.

"All three... Ha... So you still treat Yin Mengran like your own child? Yin Mengran, is this the stepmother you found? Really... I wasn't wrong about you, you ingrate! Your mother has only been gone for a few days, and you've already accepted it so quickly!"

"Snapped!"

The woman had barely finished speaking when a glass of water was suddenly splashed in her face! It instantly soaked her hair and collar.

The woman's eyes widened, and she was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted.

Looking up at Liu Wei, who remained calm and composed, her anger instantly reached its peak!

"what are you doing?!"

The woman screamed loudly, her voice shrill and piercing, and her entire body of fat trembled.

Liu Wei raised her head, looking quite innocent, spread her hands, and said calmly:

"What did I do? I just wanted to pour out the water, why did you have to stand here?"

The woman gritted her teeth, pointed at Liu Wei, and shouted, "You! You!"

Liu Wei's eyes sharpened as she glared at her and said sternly:

"What do you mean, 'you'? Look at yourself, you look like a QR code. If you don't scan it, you won't even know what you are. You're quite creative in appearance, and quite courageous in your life. Are you so arrogant because you have an animal association protecting you? No amount of cheap perfume can cover up your animal smell!"

“I…I!”

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, ''? Just because you're mentally challenged doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. Does that donkey do nothing but kick your head all day? You only have one face, don't you know how to save face? An adult bullying a child, and you're acting like an elder? You're just going to die faster than my kids."

The woman gasped for breath, as if she couldn't catch her breath, and took two steps back, almost losing her balance. Her legs felt weak, and she would have been unable to stand if she hadn't been holding onto the wall.

This was the first time she had suffered such humiliation. Her face turned bright red, almost dripping blood, like a furious lion, her expression contorted in a desperate struggle.

Zhou Heng and Tang Zhi even covered their faces with their hands, afraid they wouldn't be able to stop laughing.

Yin Mengran was also surprised; she hadn't expected Zhou Heng's mother to be so aggressive...

I was always so gentle when I spoke to them; I never expected to see this side of them. If they were scolding me, I would have burst into tears by now...

Liu Wei stared intently ahead and said in a cold voice:

"Let me tell you, Xiao Ran is different now. She's my child. If you dare to bully her again, I will definitely not let you off the hook. Whether it's open or covert, black or white, it's up to you. Do you really think our family is easy to mess with?"

"well..."

The woman pointed at Liu Wei, then at Yin Mengran, her face puffed up with anger, like a popcorn popper.

Then, she wiped the water off her face, turned around, and stormed off.

As soon as she left, the entire restaurant returned to silence and instantly became harmonious.

Liu Wei exhaled, as if releasing all the anger she had just vented.

Then, she sat down next to Yin Mengran.

Yin Mengran had stopped crying by now. Liu Wei had stood up for her, and she felt extremely relieved, though there were still traces of tears in the corners of her eyes.

She lowered her head and whispered:

"Thank you... Auntie..."

She didn't know how to express her gratitude, nor did she know how to face Liu Wei now.

Because of Liu Wei's words, "She is my child," she felt a pang of emotion, her eyes tightened, and she felt an urge to cry.

Maybe I was just saying it to that woman back then, but now that the matter is resolved, should I take it seriously...?

At this moment, Liu Wei took a few tissues, reached out, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Yin Mengran's eyes.

"Don't be afraid, baby. You don't have to be afraid of her bullying you anymore. You have someone to protect you now. I will protect you from now on."

Liu Wei grasped Yin Mengran's hand, a gentle, pearly smile blooming on her lips, her eyes filled with even deeper tenderness.

Yin Mengran froze, then her eyes began to light up, and her eyelashes fluttered several times...

"Well--"

The next second, she burst into tears like a child, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Unable to contain her most vulnerable emotions, she threw herself into Liu Wei's arms and burst into tears.

Liu Wei hugged Yin Mengran, gently patted her back, and whispered in her ear:

"Okay, okay, don't be afraid anymore. Although I certainly can't be as good as your mother, I promise I will treat you the same way I treated Zhou Heng. You don't need to treat me like your mother, but I will definitely treat you like my own daughter."

"me..."

Yin Mengran sobbed, unable to utter a complete sentence. She couldn't believe it was real; it felt like a dream.

Since the misfortune befell her family, she has never felt that sense of home again.

But at Zhou Heng's house, she felt it again.

How she longed to be a part of it, how she wished she could be one of them.

So, she was somewhat flattered by the current situation, and if it were a dream, she wouldn't want to wake up.

Tang Zhi, who was watching from the side, suddenly spoke up:

"Aunt, can you adopt Yin Mengran as your goddaughter? Didn't you always say you wanted a daughter?"

Liu Wei smiled, as if she had been waiting for this opportunity.

Then, she looked at Yin Mengran in her arms and asked softly:

"Are you willing?"
