At the mention of her mother, Wei Qingran looked worried.
But she still tried to force a smile. "My mother's condition … is fine."
"Qingran, can I call you that?" Lin Mengya asked.
Wei Qingran nodded immediately.
In fact, if it wasn't for such an embarrassing moment, she would be very happy to have such a friend who could be her intimate friend.
"You must remember what I'm going to say and don't tell anyone else."
Hopefully, Wei Qingran couldn't help feeling nervous because Lin Mengya looked too serious.
"Okay, I promise you. But what do you want to tell me?"
When Lin Mengya was about to speak, she suddenly heard a woman's voice coming from the door.
"Qingran, are you inside?"
Hearing this voice, Wei Qingran immediately got up and opened the door.
Then Lin Mengya saw a woman in her thirties, who was dressed very simply and elegantly. She was holding two cups of tea in her hands.
Wei Qingran should be on good terms with this woman.
After seeing her, Lin Mengya immediately took the tray from her hands.
She said familiarly, "Aunt He, why did you bring it here personally?"
The middle-aged woman, who was called Aunt He by Wei Qingran, just smiled and said, "Now that Madam is sick, I'm afraid that they will neglect your guest."
As she spoke, she turned to look at Lin Mengya.
He looked her up and down without batting an eyelid, and finally greeted Lin Mengya politely.
Although her eyes were not explicit and seemed to be polite to her, Lin Mengya felt that her eyes and attitude were a little strange.
As she was thinking, the woman, who was called Aunt He by Wei Qingran, was about to grab her wrist.
But Lin Mengya had always been a person who didn't like to interact with strangers, so she subconsciously dodged and missed her hand.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I'm just not used to having physical contact with strangers."
Lin Mengya realized that her reaction might be a little excessive, so she immediately apologized.
Fortunately, Aunt He seemed to be very generous and didn't care about her reaction. Instead, she said apologetically, "It's my fault.
I shouldn't have acted on my own. I just feel that it's rare for Qingran to have such a close friend. "
As she spoke, she patted Wei Qingran's hand affectionately.
She looked like Wei Qingran's biological mother.
"Qingran has been introverted since she was young, and because Madam is too worried about her safety, she has never had a playmate of her age."
"Now that Master Gong is by her side, it can be considered a blessing for this child."
"Aunty He, don't say that." Wei Qingran had her own opinions.
"Master Gong is a very outstanding person. To be able to learn from her is also a blessing for me."
Wei Qingran immediately explained when she saw that Aunt He's words seemed to be comparing her to Master Gong.
"It's Auntie He who doesn't know how to speak. I just feel that you young people should understand each other. You've been doted on by Madam since you were young, so of course you can't bear any grievances. "
"Alright, Aunt He, don't say anymore. If you continue, Master Gong will leave."
Wei Qingran pulled Aunt He's arm and said coquettishly.
Aunt He shook her head helplessly, still looking at Wei Qingran lovingly.
His attitude was really like that of an elder who would worry about her.
But to Lin Mengya, it didn't sound like that at all.
She didn't know who Aunt He was, but from her words, she felt that Aunt He was trying to show off Wei Qingran's noble status in front of her.
If these words were not heard by her, but by another girl from an aristocratic family who had high self-esteem and a status comparable to Wei Qingran, they would not be able to be friends.
After all, who was born to give in to others?
They had not even become friends, but she had to give in to others. For a girl from an aristocratic family who had been spoiled since she was young, this was equivalent to an insult to her own status.
However, these words were spoken by an elder who seemed to dote on Wei Qingran very much.
Lin Mengya couldn't help but suspect her motives.
Was it like what Aunt He said, that she really didn't know how to speak, or did she have other motives?
Lin Mengya secretly raised her eyebrows and pretended that she didn't hear anything. She smiled and said, "I'm a few years older than Qingran, so of course I have to give in to her."
Wei Qingran also lowered her head in embarrassment.
Lin Mengya looked into Aunt He's eyes without any hesitation.
Before the other party could retract his probing gaze, he was caught red-handed by her.
"After talking for so long, I still don't know which elder in the Wei Family you are, and how should I address you?"
But these words really touched Aunt He's soft spot.
Aunt He, who was talking and smiling with a loving expression, froze for a moment, and didn't know what to say.
Wei Qingran said without any hesitation, "Aunt He is my mother's best friend. Because of some unforeseen events in the family a few years ago, she has been living in our mansion."
"But my mother and I both trust Auntie He, and we rely on her a lot. Oh yes, my brother and I were brought up by Aunt He! "
A light flashed in Lin Mengya's eyes.
The words "best friend" had a lot of meanings.
And even if she was Mrs. Wei's best friend, she had at least lived in the Wei Family for more than ten years.
If she was thin-skinned, she would not treat Lin Mengya as half a master, even if she could not live independently because of the reality.
At first sight, Lin Mengya felt that Aunt He was more like another hostess in the family.
However, this was just a random guess of hers.
Maybe they had a "deep sisterly love", so Aunt He didn't treat Lin Mengya as an outsider.
"I see. Then I really admire Mrs. Wei's broad-mindedness."
"I think Mrs. He must be very grateful to Mrs. Wei for letting her best friend live in the mansion and taking good care of her. Otherwise, she wouldn't lower herself to take care of Mrs. Wei's son and daughter."
Lin Mengya's words completely put Aunt He in the position of a servant.
Aunt He almost couldn't keep her face. Over the years, every time people knew her identity, they would praise her for being grateful.
After all, Mrs. Wei had a good reputation.
As a result, most people neglected the fact that Madam Wei's character was the one that should be praised in this matter.
If she was really a selfish and jealous person.
In that case, why would she allow her best friend to stay in her house for more than ten years and even treat her courteously?
Lin Mengya, who was experienced in judging prostitutes and tasting tea, immediately hit the key point.
Aunt He was a little dissatisfied.
But she didn't lose her temper immediately. Instead, she held Wei Qingran's hand with a guilty look.
"Yes, if Zhen 'er hadn't taken me in, I'm afraid I would have become a skeleton."
"Maybe I'm not destined to have children in my life, so I have always taken care of you and Jiang 'er as my own."
Seeing that Aunt He's card of family was about to work, Lin Mengya mentioned it casually.
"Madam Wei is fine now. Why does it sound like Madam He is the one who's gone?"
"I like making friends with Miss Wei more and more. I presume that if I fall into trouble in the future, then Miss Wei will be able to take me in and treat me as a distinguished guest without making a distinction between us or the host and guest."
This time, Aunt He's face was completely slapped swollen.
There were some things that the host didn't care about, that was because the host was generous.
But since she was a guest, she should act like one. What was the meaning of turning the guest into the host?
Wei Qingran was not stupid.
She blinked her big eyes and looked at her new friend.
Then she looked at Aunt He, who had been by her side for many years, and couldn't help frowning.
In fact, Aunt He said that she took care of her and her brother.
But in fact, they had servants to take care of them since they were young.
Aunt He often cared about them.
But it was just verbal care. Moreover. Aunt He's words made her feel a little uncomfortable.
But for so many years, Aunt He had been by their side.
Wei Qingran was a soft-hearted and nostalgic child. She just said softly, "Thank you for your kindness, Aunt He. It's Master Gong's first time here, please don't be angry with him."
Her words showed that she was treating her as an outsider!
Aunt He's heart suddenly sank.
But she had always been in front of her children. She wouldn't reveal her true thoughts.
Although in his heart, he couldn't wait to chase that Gong Family Head out for spouting nonsense!
But on the surface, she still revealed a dejected expression and nodded.
"I know, I've overstepped my boundaries. Zhen 'er is my benefactor. It's my duty to do anything for her. "
Hearing Aunt He's words, Wei Qingran also felt a little guilty.
"Aunt He, we're a family. Don't say such things."
"Qingran, I …"
Seeing that Aunt He was going to start to stir up emotions again, Lin Mengya put down the teacup in her hand and said casually.
"Since Mrs. He is grateful, you should repay Mrs. Wei's kindness. What's more, you saved Mrs. Wei's life. Now that Mrs. Wei is ill, as a good friend, you should accompany her. "
Instead of rushing to them and stretching out his face for her to slap.
Being ridiculed by Lin Mengya again and again, Mrs. He couldn't stand it no matter how thick-skinned she was.
She left in a hurry with her servants, but her face was very ugly.
Looking at Aunt He's back, Wei Qingran shook her head helplessly.
She couldn't help but ask, "Sister Gong, this is the first time you've met Aunt He. Why are you so hostile to her?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Mengya gently knocked on her forehead.
"Little girl, you really don't know?"
