Chapter 591 She's Very Well-Behaved (Twenty)

Pei Yanli came over to check on Shang Shang first: "How are you? Are you alright?"

Shang Shang's face flushed. In such a short time, she had seen Pei Yanli twice at the police station. Would he think she was a troublemaker? She explained in a low voice, "I wasn't injured. I just dislocated Shi Jian's arm."

Pei Yanli confirmed that Shang Shang was not injured, and as for Shi Jian's condition, he did not care: "Wait here, I'll go and take care of the formalities for you."

While signing, the police couldn't help but say a few more words: "Although the man was at fault, it's wrong to physically assault someone, especially right under our noses."

Pei Yanli, however, was somewhat indulgent: "There's nothing wrong with her preferring to help the bullied party. Besides, she just wanted to teach the other party a lesson. You should praise such a courageous person."

The police officer paused for a moment, then thought, "Forget it, no one listens anyway."

Once the papers are signed, Shang Shang can leave, but Du Mengmeng and Shi Jian haven't finished their treatment yet.

Wang Jianni couldn't help but lean over the door and shout, "Du Mengmeng, come home! Don't accept mediation, file a lawsuit directly!"

The police were still trying to persuade them, because if they could handle the case, their year-end performance would be better. If it went to court, it would mean that they hadn't tried their best to mediate, and they would also have to take responsibility.

Upon hearing Wang Jianni's shout, just as Du Mengmeng was about to speak to stop her, she stood up and said, "No need to say anything, I resolutely refuse to accept mediation."

After saying that, he ignored Shi Jian and walked straight out, ignoring the police calling him.

Wang Jianni was afraid that she would change her mind, so she grabbed her arm and walked out, saying, "Let's go back first and talk about it later."

Shang Shang and Pei Yanli lagged behind, following the two out of the police station.

The police officer looked coldly at Shi Jian and his mother: "You took her things and you'd better return them right now. You graduated from a prestigious university, and you don't know the law at all? You're not married, what right do you have to take her things?"

"Also, if she accuses you of burglary, that's entirely possible. You can decide what to do."

Shi's mother's legs went weak, and she needed Shi Jian's help to leave the police station. Her face was pale. "How about I go and apologize to Du Mengmeng?"

Shi Jian's face was grim: "It's no use. She's determined to sue us. I told her not to touch her things, why didn't you listen? And why couldn't you have waited until after our wedding? Why did you have to come now and ruin everything?"

Shi's mother hadn't expected this: "Who knew it would turn out like this? She's been sleeping with you for years. I thought this was settled, and I don't want to see a woman stepping on your head."

Thinking of this, a wicked plan suddenly came to mind: "Isn't she a TV reporter? Let's go to her workplace and cause a scene, make her lose her job, and see what she has left to be arrogant about."

This time, Shi Jian was relatively rational: "Mom, stop making a scene. If we make a scene, Du Mengmeng will lose her job, but her father still has a company, so she can still live a good life. As for me, I'm afraid I really won't be able to establish myself in Beijing."

He squatted down in frustration, pulling hard on his hair. He had persevered for so long, and was about to become a resident of Beijing, but now it was all ruined.

Wang Jianni and Du Mengmeng sat in the back of Pei Yanli's car. Wang Jianni pressed Du Mengmeng's head and said, "Look, that's the good-for-nothing you've been eyeing. I told you, what good can a man possibly be?"

Looking at Shi Jian again now, Du Mengmeng also found it unbelievable. How could she have fallen for such a calculating man?

Shang Shang, in the passenger seat, kept her head down, afraid that Wang Jianni's comment about what good men could possibly be would make Pei Yanli overthink things.

Pei Yanli glanced at her without saying a word, then asked the more assertive Wang Jianni, "Where are you going now? It's still early for lunch."

Wang Jianni thought for a moment and said, "Go to my law firm, I'll help Mengmeng sort out this case. Then, you can take Shangshang home."

Shang Shang was a little puzzled: "Don't you need me to come with you?"

Wang Jianni shook her head: "No need, you won't be of any help. Mengmeng and I can solve it faster."

Du Mengmeng wanted Shang Shang to go too. She thought that if Shang Shang was there, Wang Jianni would scold her less harshly. Just as she was about to speak, Wang Jianni grabbed her arm and glared at her fiercely.

She then gestured with her eyes to look at Pei Yanli. Pei Yanli had come to pick her up; how could they be so oblivious?

Pei Yanli saw Wang Jianni's expression in the rearview mirror and a smile appeared in his eyes. As expected of her, she was Shang Shang's best friend who had grown up together since childhood. Their relationship was so good that he was a little envious.

Du Mengmeng belatedly realized what was happening and whispered, "Well, Shangshang, as long as Nini is here, you can go and do your thing."

Shang Shang wasn't too busy, and seeing that the two of them were in agreement, she didn't insist: "Okay, then call me when you're done, and I'll come find you for lunch."

Wang Jianni waved her hand: "No need, I'll take her home to find evidence. The meals at our station are also very good, so we'll just have a simple meal here."

After dropping the two off, Wang Jianni and Du Mengmeng got out of the car very quickly, hurriedly said goodbye, and ran away, afraid that Shang Shang would call them back at any moment.

Shang Shang watched the two figures running away in surprise: "They seemed to be in a hurry."

Pei Yanli understood what the two meant. As he drove the car onto the main road, he asked Shang Shang, "If you're taking a break, come back to school with me?"

Shang Shang checked the time: "Did I interrupt your work?"

Pei Yanli nodded and smiled: "No, I have a class this afternoon and haven't prepared yet."

Then he said, "Are you free this afternoon? You could come and listen to my class. I don't know if you'd be interested."

Shang Shang immediately nodded: "I'm interested. I haven't been a student and attended a class in a long time. Sometimes I even dream about going to school."

Pei Yanli said gently, "Come to my office first, and then we'll go eat?"

Shang Shang had no objections. On their way to Pei Yanli's office, the two chatted from time to time and discovered that they had many of the same hobbies.

Shang Shang loves horseback riding. Whenever Zhou Xiye had free time, he would take her horseback riding. She also liked shooting, but she was too lazy and gave up that hobby.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yanli also liked these things, which made Shang Shang more talkative: "When we have time, we can go horseback riding at the horse farm. That horse farm is also a shooting range."

Of course, it is also an industry under the name of Shanghangzhou.

Pei Yanli replied, "Okay, call me when you have time."

When the two arrived at the school gate, Pei Yanli got out of the car to register, while Shang Shang sat in the car waiting. The car window was rolled down, and students passed by from time to time.

Two students had been walking for a while when one of them suddenly turned around, looking puzzled: "The person sitting in Professor Pei's car just now looked like my sister."

Another student didn't believe it: "Are you sure you're not mistaken? How could your sister be in Professor Pei's car? If it really is your sister, we need to hurry up and leave. If your sister sees us skipping class, you're doomed."

The student was still puzzled. He planned to call his second uncle, Li Yuanchao, during his lunch break to ask what Shangshang's sister had been up to lately.
