really!

This Meng Sheng is indeed a cunning, scheming person with sweet words but a sharp tongue!

With just a few words, he was able to clear himself from this matter cleanly, but instead of throwing dirty water on them, he even asked her to help explain and clarify.

Cui Xueheng felt so frustrated.

She has lived for more than fifty years. Except for the more than ten years when she was confused and in a trance, when has she ever felt so depressed in recent years?

Even though she never left the house, at home, even the old lady was kind to her and never said a harsh word to her.

But since Meng Sheng appeared, everything has changed.

The plan she had finally come up with was instantly destroyed by Meng Sheng just as it was about to begin.

There was no way for her to perform well.

Later on, I couldn’t even pretend anymore.

Facing everyone's gaze, after seeing the aggrieved and helpless expression on Gu Ci's face, she couldn't help but lose half of her strength and leaned half on her niece and nephew.

No matter how unwilling she was, she had to swallow back the strange sour feeling she had never tasted before.

Don't let others see the clues.

Otherwise, with Meng Sheng's personality, she believed that she would tell Asui and the old lady without hesitation that she had just tried to pretend to be sick to frame her, or she would directly reveal it in front of many guests.

She took a deep breath and could only start thinking of the words in her mind.

Then he calmly reprimanded his niece, "Well, Shanshan, you can't be so rude."

Finally, he began to explain, "When I walked here, I suddenly felt a tightness in my chest and a little breathless. I almost fainted. Shengsheng happened to pass by and helped me up."

As she spoke, she pretended to be pleasant and smiling, "Thank you very much. Without your support, if I had fallen down, I really don't know what would have happened."

Tsk, look at that.

The acting skills have improved.

It sounds like it's true.

Meng Sheng knew that Cui Xueheng must be cursing her in her heart now, but so what?

You caused all this trouble yourself, and now you're being killed by someone else. You deserve it.

As the saying goes, harming others will eventually harm yourself.

She cooperated with Cui Xueheng's play gently and modestly, "Mrs. Cui, you are very polite. It's just a matter of convenience. No need to thank me."

After saying that, she glanced at Cui Yuanshan lightly.

Cui Xueheng was really about to have a heart attack.

Cui Yuanshan is the only girl in the Cui family's generation, so it is inevitable that she is spoiled by her family.

But when she is out, she still has the proper etiquette.

She took another breath and suppressed the depression in her heart.

Continuing with a pleasant expression, he said, "Shengsheng, don't take it personally with Shanshan and Ah Ci. They absolutely don't have any bad intentions. They were just too nervous and worried just now, so they lost their composure."

The ladder was already set up, and Cui Yuanshan certainly knew what her aunt meant. No matter how dissatisfied and unhappy she was, she had to suppress it.

She tried to maintain a calm and natural expression on her face and apologized to Meng Sheng.

Meng Sheng didn't dwell on this matter. He smiled lightly and nodded slightly.

He also reminded her, "Miss Cui, it's okay if you misunderstood me today, but if you misunderstand someone else in the future, you won't be able to let it go so easily.

Sometimes what you see isn't necessarily what you think. You'd better change your habit of believing everything you hear."

Whose wind are you listening to, and what kind of rain is falling?

The profound meaning here is self-evident.

Gu Ci's heart sank, knowing that Meng Sheng was deliberately trying to alienate her from Cui Yuanshan and the others.

Isn't it just that she is using Cui Yuanshan and the others as pawns?

Silence at this time was like a tacit agreement, which could easily cause Cui Yuanshan and others to feel a little resentful.

But if I deny the explanation, it would seem like I am trying to cover up my mistake.

He couldn't follow Cui Yuanshan's example and apologize to her, otherwise wouldn't he be admitting that his opening remarks were intended to mislead Cui Yuanshan and the others?

It seems like everything I say is wrong.

Gu Ci really didn't expect that she just wanted to join in the fun, but was forced to this point by Meng Sheng's few words.

She clenched her fists and found that a thin layer of sweat had appeared on her palms without her noticing.

She took a few steps forward, seemingly blocking Cui Yuanshan behind her.

There was no intention of Shinjuku at all, and he said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Director Meng is right. Shanshan is young and simple, and she doesn't think as much as Director Meng does.

If our attitude just now made you feel uncomfortable, then I would like to apologize to you here. I am sorry."

It is indeed a high-grade green tea.

Look at this art of language. In just a few words, Meng Sheng became an aggressive, petty and unreasonable person.

She and Cui Yuanshan seemed like innocent people who had suffered a great injustice, but they still tolerated her very generously and appropriately.

The situation changed in an instant.

How amazing.

Meng Sheng's almond-shaped eyes were still filled with calmness and indifference, without a single ripple in them. She just quietly looked at Gu Ci, who was equally calm.

This was the first time they had been so confrontational in public since they met.

In the past, at least on the surface, we were still covered with a layer of false "friend".

Today was the closest the two of them had ever come to a falling out.

Although their collaboration on the exhibition has not yet ended, she is not the type to care about so-called face and swallow all the grievances and frustrations and choose to swallow her anger.

Only a stupid saint would do this kind of thing that only pleases oneself and makes the enemy happy.

Even if they fell out today, she would still be able to act when the time came.

She was silent for only a few seconds before she asked calmly, "Miss Gu, have you ever read Dream of the Red Chamber?"

This irrelevant remark made Gu Ci stunned for a moment, and his face showed some confusion and puzzlement.

Although I had a feeling that there must be something behind her words, and that it might be something very unfavorable to her, if I didn't respond, she would seem like she was stage fright.

She nodded gently. "Dream of the Red Chamber is one of the Four Great Classical Novels. I've read it at least ten times since I was a child, and I've even watched the TV series many times. Why did Director Meng suddenly ask this?"

Meng Sheng smiled, her clear and gentle voice unhurried. "Then Miss Gu should have heard of 'Smartness is Tired', right? It's a song dedicated to Wang Xifeng's tragic fate.

I've always found the first sentence of the verdict especially thought-provoking. What do you think?"
