"This is not his fault."
Meng Jingwei stepped forward, "I also bear responsibility."
At the time, listening to He Xiaomingjin and He Kalingchuan arguing in the private room, she just felt her head ache and left without thinking much.
It was indeed improper.
"It has nothing to do with you, and you wouldn't understand what we were talking about then."
He Xiaomingjin took responsibility for his actions and would never shift the blame to Meng Jingwei.
Now, Meng Jingwei had no way to explain.
Just as He Xiaomingjin said, she 'didn't understand' what they were talking about. If she were to argue now and say she had a translator and could understand their conversation, wouldn't that be like playing with fire?
Meng Jingwei: "..."
Then you... good luck to yourself.
"Alas, Mingjin, you were too impulsive," Daisy Ti Ni also shook her head.
After speaking, she turned to look at Old Chen Tou, "Teacher, Mingjin is probably not suitable to show his face these few days, and Jingwei also needs someone to protect and translate for her. What should we do?"
They already knew about He Qingtang looking for Meng Jingwei, but they didn't ask much about it.
Of course, even if Old Chen Tou and the others didn't ask, Meng Jingwei would never volunteer to tell them.
Old Chen Tou raised his hand and touched his short, graying hair. He sighed deeply, his head growing a size larger with worry.
Meng Jingwei's eyes drooped slightly, a flash of light appearing in their depths, "Why don't you let Tiezhu accompany me? My own skills are fine, I don't need protection. Moreover, he is the only one who is not an Hidden Clan member."
Meng Jingwei deliberately drew out the last sentence.
"This..."
Daisy Ti Ni looked surprised, then glanced back in the direction of the kitchen. She happened to see 'Tiezhu' walking over with dishes.
She withdrew her gaze and exchanged a look with Old Chen Tou, as if seeking his opinion.
"No!"
He Xiaomingjin was the first to step forward to object, "Tiezhu is just a commoner, he doesn't understand anything, and he doesn't know other members of the Hidden Clan. How can it be okay for him to follow?"
"Only you are capable? Look at what you've done!"
Old Chen Tou slammed the table again, huffing with anger.
"What? What did I do?"
Qing Muyie looked at them with a 'bewildered' expression, appearing naive and honest, giving a somewhat foolish impression.
His acting was superb.
Meng Jingwei secretly marveled, "This guy is such a good actor, how did I not notice it before?"
Tsk tsk tsk, it's a shame he's not an actor, such great potential wasted.
"You..."
Old Chen Tou frowned deeply. After much deliberation, he finally said, "Alright, for these next few days, let Tiezhu accompany you for now. I will take this opportunity to find someone new to protect you."
"Yes, that's what I was thinking too," Daisy Ti Ni agreed wholeheartedly.
He Xiaomingjin, standing by, immediately darkened his expression, "We agreed that I would protect Sister Weiwei, so what does this mean? It's just one He Kalingchuan, I'll just avoid him in the future."
"Shut up, go back to your room and reflect. You're not allowed to eat dinner tonight!"
Old Chen Tou rebuked him sternly, his eyes blazing with anger.
The grandfather and grandson locked eyes, and finally, He Xiaomingjin conceded defeat. He stomped back to his room indignantly, slamming the door shut with a bang.
"You stubborn girl, what are you standing there for? Come and eat quickly."
After the living room returned to calm, Old Chen Tou beckoned Meng Jingwei, inviting her to eat.
During the meal, Qing Muyie remained alone in the kitchen.
To avoid exposing his identity, he didn't want to appear before Old Chen Tou too much, but Meng Jingwei felt rather uncomfortable, her food tasting like wax, because Qing Muyie could only dine in the kitchen.
At the dinner table, Old Chen Tou served Meng Jingwei food and comforted her, "Mingjin is still young and a bit impulsive, so don't take it to heart too much. Let Tiezhu accompany you these few days. Although his skills are not as good as yours, he has worked under Daisy Ti Ni for many years and is absolutely trustworthy."
