Shang Boyu said he would have dinner with Meng Sheng in the evening, but he eventually broke his promise.
But Meng Sheng was not upset by this, instead he was happy and at ease.
As for the issue of shares, she still felt a little worried and nervous.
The only variable in this matter is Yu Qionghua.
Although Shang Boyu went to confront her, she was his mother after all. She knew very well how filial Shang Boyu was to Yu Qionghua.
It was inevitable that he helped Yu Qionghua to conceal the truth. What if there were changes in the share transfer?
Meng Sheng's heart was heavy. Because she was too worried, she still didn't eat much of the meal tonight. She drank half a bowl of crucian carp and tofu soup and two pieces of pork ribs before putting down her chopsticks.
Seeing this, Mrs. Liu asked hurriedly, "Madam, is the food not to your taste? Why are you eating so little?"
Hearing this, Meng Sheng paused and ate another piece of egg pancake.
Without giving Mrs. Liu a chance to persuade her again, she said, "Put away the rest and wait for him to come back to eat it."
Mrs. Liu responded, packed up her things, and left.
When Shang Boyu came back, it was already past nine o'clock.
He stopped in the living room, took a deep breath, then walked into the dimly lit ward.
At night, Meng Sheng doesn’t like too strong light because it dazzles her eyes and affects her acting, so the table lamps in the room are not very bright.
She was soaking her feet at the moment, and when she saw him, her face looked weak and confused again. Her lifeless and empty eyes gradually focused, and she looked a little helpless.
The lips with no color moved, "You're back."
Shang Boyu's heart skipped a beat when he heard her voice. He hurried over and apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, Shengsheng. Something delayed me. Have you eaten?"
"Yes, it was sent by Sister Liu." Meng Sheng's voice was soft and there was a hint of concern in her tone. "I didn't know if you would come back for dinner, but I still left a portion for you in the microwave."
Shang Boyu was stunned for a moment, and it seemed as if a warm breeze was gently brushing against his heart, causing ripples.
The light in his eyes softened, and he said apologetically, "It's my fault. I promised you before I left, but I didn't do it. I'm sorry, my wife."
Meng Sheng looked at him, opened his mouth, and slowly shook his head, "It's okay."
Shang Boyu squeezed her hand and said with a smile, "I really didn't eat anything tonight. I'll heat it up later. Thank you, my wife, for still thinking of me."
He looked at the basin where she was soaking her feet again and asked, "Did you fetch this water yourself?"
"Yeah." Meng Sheng responded softly, paused for a few seconds, and added, "If you're not here, I'll have to do it myself."
Shang Boyu's heart softened when he heard this.
He knew that Shengsheng was still somewhat resentful about what happened between him and Ning Weiwei.
This can be seen in the detail that she usually refuses his touch.
But when the police came to investigate her illegal business, he could also feel her deep dependence on him.
And now, he knew that she still missed him.
Thinking about it this way, even though she had already discovered the clues between him and Ning Weiwei, she did not expose it, but wanted to use her mother's hand to resolve the matter.
It's understandable.
She still loves him and can't bear to leave him.
"I'm sorry, honey. It's my fault that I came back late." Thinking of this, he apologized again, his tone became softer, and he put the things in his hands on the bedside table. "I bought you a portion of sweet tofu pudding on the way back. You can try it later."
As he spoke, he put his hand into the water to test the temperature, "The water is a little cold, how long have you been soaking in it?"
"Ten minutes."
"That's about it. The water is cold. We can't soak in it anymore."
As he spoke, he took the dry towel next to him and spread it over his legs. He then lifted her feet out of the water and gently placed them on the towel, wiping the water off her feet with both sides of the towel.
All are gentle and meticulous.
After drying her feet, he helped her lie down on the bed again, "Lie down for a while, I'll go pour the water."
Meng Sheng nodded and watched him walk out of the ward carrying the basin of water. He then retracted his gaze and looked at the things he had just placed on the bedside table.
A box packed in a white bag.
It should be the sweet tofu pudding he just mentioned.
There was also something like a document, but because the front was covered underneath, she couldn't see the text.
But I already had a vague guess in my mind.
The corners of his lips couldn't wait to curl up into a shallow arc.
She knew that the plan to get rid of the contract was just one step away from success.
As long as she signs her name, the shares will be completely sold.
Shang Boyu came back quickly, spread out the folding table, opened the package of sweet tofu pudding, and handed her the spoon, "Try it, I specially asked the boss to add San Shao sugar."
Meng Sheng was stunned as he stared at the bowl of white and tender tofu pudding.
She prefers sweets.
I always feel that desserts can heal all the sorrows in the world.
Therefore, she also likes to eat sweet tofu pudding. Every time she eats it, she always adds three spoons of sugar.
Her originally distracted eyes were now slightly agitated. She took the spoon and tasted it. It was indeed the sweetness that she could accept and like.
After acting for so many days, this sweetness seemed to come as a reward and encouragement for the sadness and bitterness she had experienced along the way.
Seeing that she was enjoying the meal, Shang Boyu's smile deepened, "Is it delicious?"
“Mm, delicious.”
"I like it. I'll buy it tomorrow."
Meng Sheng responded softly again. After taking a few bites, she seemed to remember something and quickly raised her hand to grab his arm. The light in her eyes trembled and she licked her lower lip nervously. "So how is the investigation going? Is there any clue?"
Shang Boyu felt that she was holding him tightly and quickly held her hand back.
He pursed his lips and thought for a moment, "Yes, there was. That person was probably targeting Yueqifang, but because Yueqifang had been properly rectified the previous two times, he couldn't find a chance to attack, so he wanted to start with you."
He took the document on the table and said, "I went to Yueqifang this afternoon and talked to my mother. We discussed it for a long time. Because the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, I don't know what other means and strategies he will use.
So, I decided to temporarily transfer your shares to me, and then transfer them back to you after I find out the identity of the whistleblower."
