Chapter 29 List of “Charges”
When Meng Yanchen opened his eyes again, he saw the familiar ceiling of Xiao Yixiao's house.
There was an IV on the back of his hand, and the cold medicine was flowing through his blood vessels.
Xiao Yixiao was playing games with his legs crossed. The fierce gunfire in the background made his head hurt.
He felt his throat was very dry and reached for the water glass on the bedside. Only then did Xiao Yixiao realize that he was awake. He quickly put away his phone and helped him up.
"Feeling better?"
"water!"
The feeling of warm water sliding down his throat made Meng Yanchen sigh comfortably.
He looked around and recognized that this was Xiao Yixiao's villa on the outskirts of the city.
"How long have I slept?"
"Eighteen hours."
Xiao Yixiao gave a thumbs-up. "Old Meng, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're really cruel for being able to self-harm and stay awake in that situation."
Meng Yanchen did not respond, but just turned the cup.
"How's the situation going?"
"Don't worry, all the surveillance footage has been deleted, and someone has been assigned to keep an eye on Lin Su."
Xiao Yixiao's expression turned serious. "When you wake up, I'll see what you want to do."
He pulled out a cell phone from his pocket. "Oh, this is what Miss Fan asked me to give you. She said it's Lin Su's phone. She's worried there might be something recorded in it, so she wants you to handle it."
Meng Yanchen took the phone and gently stroked the screen with his fingertips.
"Where is she?"
"Don't worry, I arranged for someone to send her back last night. I gave her 100,000 yuan as a thank you gift, and she took 5,000 yuan, saying it was for the phone."
Meng Yanchen lowered his eyes and drank water without saying anything.
"Old Meng, I'm really sorry this time,"
Xiao Yixiao began to reflect on himself, "I recruited such a thing, and it targeted you. It's very ambitious, and it almost caused you to lose your virginity."
He laughed first after saying that, and then quickly added, "But you're really good. You managed to endure such a strong drug. You can even control yourself in front of such a beautiful woman. I'm really impressed."
Meng Yanchen looked at the swaying reflection in the water glass, and before his eyes appeared Fan Shengmei's face so close, her slightly parted red lips as she leaned in close to him, her warm breath brushing against his hot cheek, and the instant throbbing sensation when his fingertips touched her skin...
His Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
"wrong!"
Xiao Yixiao suddenly leaned in closer, staring at Meng Yanchen's face as if he had discovered a new world. "You thought about it then? Right, Old Meng? You thought about it then?"
Meng Yanchen glanced at him indifferently, did not respond, and continued to drink water.
"Rejected?"
Xiao Yixiao's gossip spirit was burning, "Old Meng, were you rejected by that beautiful lady Fan?"
"She's afraid of affecting the stock price." Meng Yanchen said lightly.
"share price?"
Xiao Yixiao's eyes widened, a puzzled look on his face. "No wonder she didn't call the police or send you to the hospital. She was considering your family's stock price. That means this woman is not just a vase, she's also quite smart..."
He stroked his chin in thought, "That doesn't make sense. She's already thought about you so much, so she must really like you. After yesterday's situation, how could she have the heart to reject you after you acted like that?"
Meng Yanchen calmly put down the water cup.
"She just bought Guokun's shares."
"puff--"
Xiao Yixiao spat out a mouthful of water and choked and coughed.
"Just...just because of this? Hahahaha..."
He laughed so hard that tears came out, pointing at Meng Yanchen, "So you were defeated by your own stock price? Hahahaha..."
Meng Yanchen was too lazy to pay attention to him. He deleted all the videos and photos on Ye Zi's phone and checked the cloud backup to make sure nothing was missed.
"Has it been cleaned up?"
Xiao Yixiao finally stopped laughing and asked while wiping the tears from his eyes,
"Lin Su, how are you going to deal with this?"
Meng Yanchen's eyes instantly turned cold.
"I gave her a chance, but she didn't cherish it. So... I'll pursue it to the end."
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to the Guokun Group headquarters.
After a morning of absence, the desk was piled with documents waiting to be processed. Meng Yanchen rubbed his temples and quickly got down to work.
The sky outside the window gradually darkened. When he finished signing the last document, he put down his pen and looked at his watch. It was already 6:30 in the evening.
The screen is dark.
He opened the chat dialog box with Fan Shengmei. The interface was still stuck on the bar address he sent yesterday, with no new messages.
The slender finger hovered on the screen for a moment, and finally exited the interface.
Meng Yanchen put his phone back on the table and took out a piece of A4 paper from the drawer. He paused with his pen and wrote:
1. Inconsiderate (×)
——From last night until now, there has not been a single message of inquiry. It is obviously not considerate enough, and this is not unfair to her.
The tip of the pen hovered above the bracket, and he suddenly remembered how she hurriedly wrapped a towel around him last night, and the warmth of her fingertips when she handed him warm water.
The pen crossed out this line of words and filled it next to it.
——Know how to maintain an appropriate distance (√)
He stared at the line for a while, then wrote:
2. Greed for money (×)
——Only stocks in sight.
The cautious expression on her face when she said, "I bought some of your company's stocks" appeared in front of my eyes. This was not unfair to her.
But in the end, she refused the 100,000 yuan and only took 5,000 yuan...
The pen crossed out the line again and wrote next to it:
——Only take what you deserve, and have a sense of propriety (√)
3. Noisy (×)
——She can talk about Ode to Joy for ten minutes even when there is no water. She keeps talking non-stop. It is not unfair to blame her.
But he seemed to hear her nagging voice again in his ears, which was like an anchor that kept him on the edge of sanity in that chaotic night.
The pen crossed out a third time and wrote:
——Can relieve tension (√)
4. Materialistic and vain (×)
——Her circle of friends is full of yearning for material things, so this cannot be considered unfair to her.
Then I thought, the bucket of ice water seemed to be poured down on my head again.
Whenever he thought of this, Meng Yanchen felt helpless.
He sighed softly, raised his eyebrows, crossed it out, and wrote:
——Don’t want meal tickets, want stocks, cute. (√)
Meng Yanchen looked at the "charges" listed on the paper and suddenly felt that his behavior was a bit childish and funny.
He opened the drawer and locked the paper in the bottom layer.
He then pulled out another piece of white paper, clicked on Fan Shengmei's circle of friends, and quickly swiped the screen, his eyes scanning every photo she posted and liked -
A brand's new bracelet, limited edition bag, perfume advertisement...
The pen moved quickly across the fresh paper, listing a string of luxury goods names and models.
"Knock knock knock—"
Qin Yu knocked on the door and came in. "Mr. Meng, if you have nothing else to do, I'll leave work first."
"etc."
Meng Yanchen looked up and handed over the list, "Buy everything on it in the next two days."
Qin Yu took the list and quickly glanced through it.
"Okay. Where do you want it delivered to?"
Meng Yanchen tapped his fingers twice on the table.
"Straight to my house."
"clear."
Qin Yu nodded and left, closing the door gently.
The office became quiet again.
Meng Yanchen picked up his phone and opened the dialog box with Fan Shengmei. His fingertips hovered on the screen for a moment, and finally sent a message:
Thank you for yesterday.
Fan Shengmei's phone screen suddenly lit up.
"Who? Who sent you the message?"
The creditor with a fat face saw Fan Shengmei's phone light up and quickly tried to snatch the phone.
Fan Shengmei glanced at the message from Meng Yanchen and quickly deleted Meng Yanchen and locked the phone at the moment her phone was taken away.
“Pah—”
A loud slap landed on her face.
"Bitch!"
The creditor grabbed her hair and said, "How dare you delete the message in front of me? Tell me, who is that wild man? Call him and ask him to come and pay you back!"
