Chapter 586 She's Very Well-Behaved (Fifteen)
Shang Shang didn't refuse. The weather was bad, and it would be difficult to get off the bus and hail a taxi. Besides, she was currently thinking about going to support Du Mengmeng.
Pei Yanli looked at Shang Shang, who hadn't spoken a word the whole way. Judging from her mood, she was already furious, like a little tyrannosaurus.
It's actually kind of cute.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the residential area, I saw Du Mengmeng and Shi Jian struggling.
Shang Shang told Pei Yanli to stop the car, and as soon as it came to a stop, she rushed out.
Shi Jian's mother was still pointing and scolding Du Mengmeng from the side, showing no virtue whatsoever.
Shi Jian not only didn't try to persuade his mother, but he also grabbed Du Mengmeng's arm and told her to bear with it, apologize to his mother, and that the matter would be over.
Shang Shang couldn't stand listening to more than a couple of sentences, so she reached out and pulled Du Mengmeng over, punching Shi Jian in the face.
When Shi's mother saw her son being beaten, she became even more displeased: "Who are you? How dare you hit my son? I'll fight you to the death today."
As she spoke, she rushed towards Shangshang, who reached out and lifted her skirt, kicking it at Shi's mother.
The kick made Shi's mother fall to the ground with a thud and start wailing.
Seeing his mother being beaten, Shi Jian became displeased: "Zhou Zhiyi, what business is it of yours? Is it any of your concern? What right do you have to hit my mother?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand as if he wanted to attack Shang Shang.
Shang Shang naturally wouldn't tolerate him. Lifting her skirt, she kicked Shi Jian in the thigh again: "I'll keep quiet, bullying Mengmeng is unacceptable!"
Du Mengmeng wiped away her tears and glared at Shi Jian: "You better take your mother and get out of my house right now. We're finished, everything is over."
Ignoring his leg pain, Shi Jian shouted to Du Mengmeng, "Mengmeng, we've been together for so many years, and our relationship is so good. We can't break up."
Du Mengmeng sneered: "You just yelled at Shang Shang and even tried to hit her. If you can hit her, does that mean you'll dare to hit me in the future? Get lost!"
Shi's mother also got up and grabbed her son's arm: "Shi Jian, let me tell you, you're a man, you can't back down in front of a woman. You're not even married yet, and you're already listening to her. What will happen after you get married? Won't the woman ride roughshod over you?"
“How can a woman be in charge of a family? You must teach her a lesson today. She’s been a used woman for several years, who else can she be with but you?”
Du Mengmeng was trembling with anger, but as a public figure, she couldn't disregard her image and go over to beat up Shi's mother.
Shang Shang had already taken action, rushing over and slapping Shi's mother twice across the face.
Pei Yanli parked his car and came over. He was stunned when he saw how swiftly Shang Shang acted. He quickly went over to protect Shang Shang, afraid that she would be taken advantage of.
When Shi Jian saw his mother being beaten again, he tried to rush over to protect her, but Pei Yanli held his wrist tightly.
Shang Shang glared angrily at Shi's mother: "You're really too despicable. You're a woman too, and you seem to have a daughter as well. Is what you're saying right?"
Du Mengmeng came over and took Shang Shang's hand: "Let's not waste words with them. Let's go. If they don't move out by 5 p.m. today, I'll call the police."
Shi Jian was really anxious. He was able to gain a foothold in Beijing entirely thanks to Du Mengmeng's parents.
From the moment he started university in Beijing, he had a specific purpose in dating: to date a local girl and then settle down in Beijing.
Relying on his good looks, he went to great lengths to win over Du Mengmeng.
Although he had ulterior motives, he genuinely liked Du Mengmeng.
But now that his mother is making a scene and Du Mengmeng is demanding a breakup, he's completely panicked.
"Mengmeng, we can't break up. I apologize to you and to Zhou Zhiyi. I'll send my mom back tomorrow."
When Shi's mother saw that Du Mengmeng was serious, she was a little intimidated, but she was unwilling to let her son back down. In their hometown, men were the most powerful, and women were there to serve men.
He stared fiercely at Du Mengmeng, not daring to say a word.
Du Mengmeng was completely heartbroken this time: "Shi Jian, it's pointless to keep pestering me like this. You've already embarrassed me enough today. Let's save some dignity for each other in the end."
As raindrops began to fall, Shang Shang grabbed Du Mengmeng's hand without further ado: "Let's go, let them handle it themselves."
Pei Yanli quickly reminded them, "The car is by the roadside. Where are you going? I'll give you a ride."
Shang Shang glanced at Du Mengmeng: "Go to the house across from Chaoyang Park."
Pei Yanli then escorted the two to Shang Shang's house.
Because Pei Yanli was there, Du Mengmeng kept quiet in the car. Despite having just broken up with her boyfriend, she was now looking at Shang Shang and Pei Yanli, who was driving, with a gossipy eye.
How did they get together?
But just looking at them, the two seem quite well-matched.
Pei Yanli drove the car to the entrance of the underground parking unit and looked at Shang Shang: "You guys go back first, be careful."
Shang Shang had been conflicted the whole way. She was so focused on venting her anger for Mengmeng that she forgot Pei Yanli was right there. He was being far too violent.
With a flushed face, she waved to Pei Yanli and said, "Then be careful on your way."
But inwardly, I groaned, thinking, "If this happens, there probably won't be a next time."
Pei Yanli smiled and said, "Okay, I'll text you when I arrive."
After saying that, he nodded to Du Mengmeng, then turned around, got into the car, and drove away.
A simple "I'll text you when I arrive" made Shang Shang feel empowered again. Excitedly, she pulled Du Mengmeng along, saying, "Let's go to my place first. You can stay here tonight."
Du Mengmeng, who had just been watching the drama unfold, thought about her own experience and started crying again in the elevator, hugging Shangshang: "Shangshang, do you think I was blind? How could I have dated such a piece of trash as Shi Jian for so many years?"
Shang Shang patted her on the back: "Isn't it good that you cut your losses in time?"
Du Mengmeng was still sad. She followed Shangshang through the door and sat on the sofa, crying again: "Shangshang, don't try to comfort me. Let me cry for a while. I'm crying about my youth right now."
Shang Shang sat beside her watching, occasionally handing her a tissue, and then took out her phone to send a message to Shen Fanxing, telling her that she had arrived home.
Shen Fanxing replied quickly: "I guessed it. I'm a bit busy right now. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."
Shang Shang could picture Shen Fanxing's bright and cheerful expression when she replied to the message, and couldn't help but smile as well.
Du Mengmeng wiped away her tears and saw Shangshang laughing while holding her phone. She went over and put her arm around Shangshang's shoulder: "Shangshang, are you dating Pei Yanli?"
Shang Shang turned around in shock: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm sending a message to Chen Fanxing."
Du Mengmeng didn't believe it: "There must be something going on between you and Pei Yanli, but you two are a good match."
Shang Shang sighed, "Mengmeng, why don't you cry about your first love first, and then you can worry about me, okay?"
Mentioning it again, Du Mengmeng almost cried: "My parents were right after all. They said Shi Jian and I weren't a good match, and I didn't believe it. But we really weren't..."
Thinking about it, she hugged Shangshang and started crying again: "That bastard, how could he pretend so well?"
Shang Shang ruthlessly summarized: "It's not that Shi Jian is good at pretending, it's that love has blinded you..."
