Meng Sheng heard this, his lips trembled, his eyes filled with confusion.
It’s as if to say, you’ve already cheated on me and betrayed me, how can I still trust you? Are you still worthy of my trust?
Shang Boyu seemed to see the hesitation and wavering in her eyes, and he held her hand a little tighter.
His tone became more resolute. "Illegal business is not a trivial matter. If it is really discovered, it will be at least three years. Can I lie to you about this? I know you don't want to believe me now.
But... Shengsheng, I absolutely love you in my heart, and everything I said to you before was true. Just believe me this time, okay?
If I let you down again this time and cheat you again, I, Shang Bo Yutian, will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death! ”
He spoke so sincerely, his eyes still focused and affectionate, afraid that she would not believe him, he even raised two fingers and swore an oath.
Meng Sheng saw through it.
He is indeed repenting now and trying his best to keep her and make amends with her.
Perhaps because she was already extremely disappointed with him, she felt no wavering in her heart.
However, now that things have come to this, it’s time for her to release some of her “dependence” on him.
This would reinforce his desire to make amends and be nice to her.
By then, he will be more willing to deal with the shares.
She couldn't help but feel a little excited now. When Yu went in, what kind of mood would he be in after he knew the truth?
remorse? pain? Anger comes from sadness?
Just thinking about that scene, she felt inexplicably happy to refuse.
That's how it should be.
Both mother and son deserve it.
No matter what kind of tragic ending it is, they deserve it.
At this moment, the hesitation in her eyes subsided a little. She did not pull her hand away, but just lowered her eyes uneasily and shed tears.
"What if...what if they really find out?"
Shang Boyu was stunned, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Shengsheng, are you..."
"I don't have any. What if it's one of those in the store..."
She actually owns four or five stores, but she doesn't usually get involved in their operations and only checks the accounts once every six months.
Shang Boyu breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "It's okay. Didn't I tell you? I'm here. I will definitely help you solve it. Just rest assured and recuperate in the hospital."
Meng Sheng pursed her lips, blinked, and tears fell again.
After a long while, he said "hmm" softly.
Seeing that she no longer resisted, Shang Boyu felt a little excited and a strong sense of pity in his heart. He still forced himself to turn sideways, took out two tissues, and wiped her tears.
The other hand did not let go of her hand, and coaxed her again, "Okay, don't cry. After lunch, I will have someone investigate this afternoon to find out who reported it and what their intentions are."
*
Since the police came to his house, Meng Sheng became more and more silent. He often didn't say much for the whole day and would stare at one place for a long time.
In just a few days, he lost a lot of weight.
However, his attitude towards Shang Boyu was less repulsive, which made him feel guilty.
He completely put aside the company's affairs and stayed in the hospital with Meng Sheng at ease.
I only hold video conferences and make phone calls occasionally, and many things are handled by my assistant and deputy general agent.
I don’t know if it’s because Shang Boyu is not efficient enough, or because Xu Fengyun gave too few clues and they were too obscure.
On the fifth day of Meng Sheng's hospitalization, he had not yet found out about Yueqifang's underground industry.
In the afternoon, when Shang Boyu was eating fruit and talking with her, he received a call.
"Shengsheng, I'm going to answer a call, you eat first."
Perhaps he was afraid that she would overthink and misunderstand, so he showed her his phone and said, "It's a call from the company."
The caller ID showed the three words "Special Assistant Liang".
He is Shang Boyu's assistant.
There was no emotion in Meng Sheng's eyes, and there was still no light in them. He just nodded slightly.
After he left and the ward door closed, her eyes gradually focused. She threw the fork back into the fruit bowl, lifted the quilt and walked to the window.
Looking at the bright and beautiful sky outside the window, his expression was unclear.
She couldn't stand staying in the hospital any longer. She had been acting for so many days and it was so boring that it made her upset.
I have to face Shang Boyu's face all the time and I can't eat properly.
bite!
The quiet office was suddenly broken by the sound of a mobile phone text message.
Meng Sheng paused, focused his thoughts, suppressed the depression in his heart, turned back to the edge of the bed, picked up his phone and unlocked it.
It was still from that mysterious unfamiliar number.
[Shang Boyu's people have already discovered Yueqifang's underground industry. In the afternoon, he will go to Yueqifang to confront Yu Qionghua. 】
Meng Sheng pursed his lips.
If Shang Boyu went over to confront Yu Qionghua, Yu Qionghua would definitely investigate who leaked the information to him afterwards.
Then we have to hurry up with the share transfer.
Maybe I can hint at it later.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the sound of a door opening behind him. Meng Sheng deleted the text message calmly and quickly clicked on the WeChat interface.
The timing was just right. When Shang Boyu came over, he saw the WeChat interface.
"Why did you get up?"
"I've been lying down for too long, my waist is sore, let's move around." Meng Sheng calmly put down his phone, hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Regarding the illegal business, have you found anything in the past few days?"
Shang Boyu was stunned when he heard this, and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? Did the police call you?"
A hint of just the right amount of sadness appeared on her face. "No, Qiao Na just sent me a message saying that the police are checking the museum's accounts, but they can't find out anything...
The joint exhibition is getting closer and closer. Things haven’t gotten out of hand yet, but I’m afraid it will get worse. What if it affects the reputation of the museum?”
She thought for a while and said, "You can ask Aunt Ren later. I want to be discharged from the hospital. I am worried if I don't go to the art museum."
"No! You haven't fully recovered yet. Wait two more days and I'll go ask Aunt Ren."
Shang Boyu's eyes were filled with worry and distress. "Didn't you tell me about the other things? I'm also involved!"
Meng Sheng opened his mouth weakly and lifelessly when he heard that.
She whispered softly, as if talking to herself, "It has to happen at this time... My child is gone... The art museum is the last thing my mother left me, and I'm afraid I can't even keep this."
It happened just when she was most helpless.
And it just so happens that all these things happen at the same time.
The room was so quiet that Shang Boyu could hear her soft words clearly.
His heart was hit hard in an instant, guilt and severe pain intertwined together, making his breathing difficult, rapid and uneasy.
Shengsheng has lost her child. For her, the Yisheng Art Museum is both an obsession and a lifeline.
How could he bear to let her lose even this?
"How could that be? Shengsheng, don't overthink it. The police are just conducting a routine inspection at the art museum. I estimate that in two days, the police will give a conclusion.
As for the person behind the scenes, I'm still investigating, so don't worry. ”
He whispered softly to calm Meng Sheng's uneasy emotions, and there was still a hint of emotion in his deep, dark peach blossom eyes, as if a huge storm was hidden.
After feeling that her emotions had almost stabilized, Shang Boyu poured her another glass of warm water.
"Shengsheng, I have something at the company that I need to deal with in person. I will be back before dinner."
Meng Sheng paused, a ripple of emotion flashing in his eyes.
Although it calmed down quickly, Shang Boyu still captured it accurately.
His heart softened, and his tone was gentle but firm, "Really, I swear, it's really just a company matter, Shengsheng, you believe me."
Meng Sheng pursed her lips, avoided his gaze, and said calmly, "Go ahead."
"I will come back to accompany you as soon as possible."
Shang Boyu's face darkened when he came out of the ward. Before leaving, he gave a few words of advice to Aunt Zhang who came to deliver the clothes today.
"Before I come back, you stay here. Don't leave. If there's any movement inside, go in and take a look."
Aunt Zhang knew what the young master was worried about.
Perhaps it was because the young lady had been in a bad mood these days and he was afraid that she would not be able to bear such a blow and might have thoughts of committing suicide.
She nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, Master."
