Sophie was slightly stunned. Unlike usual, perhaps because of this incident, she felt particularly insecure.
He held Zhao Dong's arm slightly tightened, and a calm smile appeared on his face, and then he took the initiative to speak, "Miss Meng!"
Meng Jiao was also a little surprised, but she quickly returned to normal. She first looked at Sophie, and then looked at Zhao Dong.
Finally, he withdrew his gaze and said, "Miss Su, do you live here too?"
Sophie smiled and asked, "Miss Meng doesn't know?"
Meng Jiao was about to explain, but Zhang Tong's voice came from behind, "Jiaojiao, I forgot to tell you just now that the house in front is Miss Su's house."
"I moved into this community earlier than Miss Su, and we are neighbors!"
As Zhang Tong finished speaking, Meng Jiao didn't know how to speak, and the atmosphere was a little weird.
Fortunately, the daughter in Zhang Tong's arms broke the embarrassment and greeted with a childlike face: "Uncle Zhao, beautiful sister!"
Sophie stepped forward and shook the girl's little hand, smiled and turned around and said, "Miss Meng is planning to move in?"
Meng Jiao explained, "The apartment over there has been retired. I am now living with Sister Tong and help Sister Tong take care of the children."
Sophie nodded, "Then the relationship is good, we can be neighbors again."
"How is it, is there anything that can't be busy?"
Meng Jiao smiled, "It's nothing. We hired a moving company and we've moved almost all the time."
Sophie said enthusiastically: "Zhao Dong, please leave a helping hand to see if there is any place to help. I'll go up first."
Meng Jiao hurriedly said: "No need..."
Sophie waved her hand and said generously: "It doesn't matter, a distant relative is worse than a close neighbor. If you can't handle anything, you can call Zhao Dong at any time. He is kind-hearted, you know."
Without waiting for Zhao Dong to answer, Sophie walked away.
Meng Jiao's thoughts were disappointed, she opened her mouth, and was about to explain to Zhao Dong.
As a result, Zhao Dong didn't even look at her, turned around and left with Sophie, while holding Sophie in his hand.
Meng Jiao's heart seemed to be clenched tightly, and even her breathing became a little difficult!
When the two of them walked away, Zhang Tong put his daughter on the ground and reminded him: "Go and play by yourself, don't go far."
Meng Jiao asked almost lost her mind: "Sister Tong, why didn't you tell me before?"
Zhang Tong asked back, "What did you tell you? I told you that Sophie and I are neighbors, and I told you that I live in the same community with Zhao Dong?"
"Or tell you that you can see the windows of their bedroom from my bedroom?"
"Jiaojiao, since you don't want to lose to Sophie, you must first adjust your mentality. If you live here, will you still have to be approved by her Sophie?"
"You have to remember that this is my home. We two are sisters now. You are invited by me when you live in my home!"
"You Meng Jiao is justified and you don't need to worry about anyone's eyes!"
Meng Jiao opened her mouth, "But..."
Zhang Tong waved his hand, "I know, you don't want Zhao Dong to misunderstand that you are deliberately approaching him."
"But have you noticed that you care too much about other people's feelings?"
"Have you noticed that no matter how open you are on the surface, you always have a natural fear of Sophie psychologically?"
"You always feel that you are one head lower than Sophie, you always feel that you are not justified, and even breathing in front of Sophie!"
"Jiaojiao, you have a wrong mentality!"
"If you have always had this mentality, when will you stand upright in front of Sophie?"
Seeing Meng Jiao thinking, Zhang Tong pulled her arm and said, "The reason why I don't tell you this is because I want to help you adjust your mentality."
"As long as we live openly and as long as we have a clear conscience, is what others think of us important?"
"As it said, the reason why I promised to help you is not to fight for anything, but to give you a chance and myself."
"I don't want to bow my head in front of men easily, and I don't want to give those men a chance to hurt themselves easily!"
"I want to prove to everyone that if we women leave men, we can live openly and wonderfully!"
Zhang Tong smiled bitterly, "Sisters who are connected to the same life, why do you say these strange words?"
Meng Jiao tentatively said: "Sister Tong, you know much more about emotional issues than me."
Zhang Tong sighed, "As I experienced more and suffered more injuries, I naturally understand more. Sometimes I really hope I can understand less."
Meng Jiao hesitated for a moment and spoke in confusion, "Sister Tong, why do I feel that you don't seem to like Sophie very much?"
Zhang Tong smiled and asked, "Why, are you afraid I will fall in love with Zhao Dong?"
Meng Jiao laughed at herself, "How can I be qualified?"
Zhang Tong seemed to be trapped in memories, and after a moment of silence, he spoke, "It's not a question of whether he likes or not, but I was once trampled under my feet by a woman like Sophie, so I couldn't raise my head."
"So I can't be kind to women of this kind. Seeing you is like seeing me who used to be, the same humbleness."
Meng Jiao seemed to understand something, "Sister Tong, you..."
Zhang Tong didn't say much, "I have many stories, I'll tell you when I have the chance."
"Jiaojiao, I have a question to ask you?"
Meng Jiao nodded, "You said."
Zhang Tong asked seriously: "Is the reason why you fall between Zhao Dong and Sophie because you can't let go of Zhao Dong and like him in your heart? Or is it because you simply don't want to lose to Sophie and want to compete with her?"
Meng Jiao was surprised, "Sister Tong, why did you ask that?"
Zhang Tong didn't say much, "Answer me first, don't hide it."
Meng Jiao thought seriously and then smiled bitterly, "I don't know, maybe they all?"
"It's certain that I like Zhao Dong, otherwise I wouldn't have done so much for him at the beginning."
Zhang Tong’s question was sharp again, “Even if he abandoned you for Sophie, you wouldn’t hate him?”
Meng Jiao smiled, "I hated him, but later I figured it out. It was because I didn't have the courage to express it. What qualifications do I have to hate him?"
"What's more, I didn't expect him to repay anything when I did for Zhao Dong, but I just hoped to help him."
Zhang Tong said thoughtfully: "So, everything you did today is for Zhao Dong?"
Meng Jiao shook her head and said, "That's right, I want to be excellent, I want to live with a bright light."
"But my purpose is not to snatch Zhao Dong from Sophie."
"I'm not so shameless about destroying other people's families just because of my own preferences."
"I just hope I can live happily and confidently like Sophie."
"I just hope that when Zhao Dong is in trouble, I can help him."
"Maybe there are some points that are competitive. I want to prove to everyone that I, Meng Jiao, are no worse than Sophie. I can still do what Sophie can do!"
Zhang Tong was even more puzzled, "So, you did all this without any intention, just to ask for psychological comfort?"
