Shang Boyu took a bath for nearly forty minutes, and Aunt Zhang had already brought the meal over.
As soon as he walked out, he saw Meng Sheng kneeling on the carpet.
The curtains in the room had been drawn, and the golden sunlight refracted into the room through the glass windows.
Tiny dust particles float in the beam of light, reflecting a golden glow.
Shang Boyu stood at the door for a long time.
His deep eyes stared at her without blinking, and all the beautiful words such as warmth, tenderness, etc. jumped in his mind one by one.
In the end, all of them fit onto Meng Sheng.
He always felt that he was lucky to be with her and to marry her...
Now, whenever he thought of the bad things he had done in the past, his heart would be squeezed hard by gravity, causing severe pain.
Meng Sheng looked up and met his affectionate peach blossom eyes. Even at this short distance, she could clearly catch the emotions bursting out of his eyes.
Guilt, regret, joy, excitement, and a hint of relief.
She paused in her shrimp peeling, feeling a little annoyed, and had to ask slowly, "What are you still standing there for? Come and eat, or it will get cold soon."
Shang Boyu walked over with a smile, and only then did I see four or five peeled shrimps piled in his bowl.
His eyes were so soft that they seemed to be as gentle as the clouds in the sky. He put the unpeeled shrimp in her hand into his own bowl, and took out a few tissues to wipe her hands.
"Don't prick your hand, I'll do it."
After wiping his hands, he picked up the shrimps in the bowl and returned them to her, leaving only one. "You are the one in our family who should eat more shrimps right now."
Meng Sheng didn't refuse. He picked up the chopsticks and started eating with him.
After she had almost finished eating, she opened her mouth hesitantly, and finally asked tentatively, "How is Mom now? Can she come out?"
Speaking of this, the warmth in Shang Boyu's eyes froze for a moment, and he looked up at Meng Sheng.
After hesitating for a moment, I subconsciously wanted to ask her if I could trouble her uncle and brother to help mediate?
But he couldn't quite bring himself to say this.
It felt like there was a sharp thorn stuck in my throat, as if any words I said would be shattered into pieces.
His mother wanted to drag her into the abyss completely, so what qualifications and face did he have to ask her for help?
He swallowed the bitterness and tried to make his voice gentle. "The police station won't let me see anyone. I don't know how Mom is doing now. I have to go back to the old house after dinner to discuss this matter with Dad."
"So you don't want to sleep for a while?"
"Well, I'm not going to sleep anymore." Shang Boyu was afraid that she would worry, so he added, "It's okay, you can sleep again when you get back."
Meng Sheng nodded and said nothing more.
After dinner, he changed his clothes and drove back to the old house.
When she heard the sound of a car engine downstairs, her eyes narrowed.
He picked up his phone and sent a message to the eldest lady: [Shang Boyu has come out and is going to the old house now. 】
After the message was sent, she left it alone.
As for how the eldest lady would stop her, it had nothing to do with her.
As Pei Sui said, the day after Shang Boyu was released, the police began to investigate people who had transaction records.
By the third day, the news had spread among the wealthy circles in Beijing.
Within a few hours, it became a hot topic and became a topic of conversation at many people's dinner tables.
Shang Boyu worked so hard for this matter, but Meng Sheng remained indifferent and just watched him running around.
I saw the hope in his eyes becoming increasingly slim, I saw him suffering from insomnia every night, and his emotions were gradually on the verge of collapse.
Apart from pretending to be worried and concerned when necessary, she doesn't have to do anything else.
That night, Shang Boyu finally couldn't help but hold her hand.
With red eyes, she pleaded in a low voice, "Shengsheng, can you help me, help mom?"
He really was at his wit's end.
He went back to the old house to ask his father for help, but his father's attitude was unclear and hesitant. Instead, he was scolded by his eldest brother Shang Qinian.
The brothers who usually played well with him now avoided him.
They couldn't even meet him, and some even blocked him directly.
Even when he was first taken back to the business and labeled as an "illegitimate child", he had never experienced such cold and heartless treatment.
Meng Sheng looked at the pity and helplessness in his eyes, and his heart sank slightly.
She seemed to be able to guess what he wanted to ask her.
She was slightly stunned, with confusion in her eyes, "Me? Can I help? Mom is always so kind to me, I will definitely help if I can."
Shang Boyu was stunned. He didn't expect her to agree without thinking.
Although she did not show any resentment towards her mother in the past two days, he thought she was always feeling uncomfortable.
After all, his mother's intention to drag her into the water was too obvious, so he hadn't mentioned his mother in the past few days.
His eyes were filled with pity, and he squeezed her hand and said softly, "Of course you can help. Now that this matter has come to this point, only you can help Mom."
Meng Sheng urged anxiously, "Tell me quickly, how can I help Mom get out?"
Shang Boyu's eyes were red, and his voice was choked with sobs. "It's actually very simple. You just need to call your eldest brother and uncle and ask them to help mediate. I won't say that you can completely exonerate Mom.
But at least my mother won’t suffer in there or be bullied. My mother is 52 years old this year. She suffered for more than ten years because of raising me. As a son, I really can't bear to let her suffer in prison for another ten years. ”
really.
She was right.
With the merchants sitting idly by, in the entire Beijing city, only her brother Meng Shixu and her uncle's family can take action.
But how thick-skinned does he have to be able to say that?
He clearly knew that Yu Qionghua was scheming and exploiting her, but under such circumstances, he still had the nerve to ask her to seek help from her brother and uncle.
Only shameless people can be invincible.
Sarcasm and contempt continued to seep out of her.
There was a hint of just the right amount of surprise in his eyes, and then his face was filled with heartache, "I see, I'll call you later... Forget it, such a big thing, I can't handle it over the phone.
It’s definitely not enough to explain it in a few words. I’ll go back to the north of the city tomorrow and talk to my uncle in person, but…”
Shang Boyu's heart had just been relieved, but was lifted up again by her word "but".
He asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"
Meng Sheng hesitated, "My brother is in Denmark. He may not be able to come back this year. I'm afraid... he can't help."
Shang Boyu simply let out the breath that was hanging in his throat and coaxed him gently, "It's okay. For something like this, there's no need for me to come back. You just need to give him a call."
Meng Sheng heard this and nodded slightly, "I understand. Then I will go back to the north of the city first."
"Your physical condition..." Shang Boyu's eyebrows showed his worry, "I'll drive you back."
How hypocritical.
While he cared about her, he also asked her to run around for Yu Qionghua's affairs.
She sneered in her heart, her voice still gentle, "It's okay, it would be inconvenient for you to go back with me, I still have to go and talk about this matter."
Shang Boyu sighed and said distressedly, "Wife, you have worked hard."
"Since it's for Mom's business, I don't think it's hard."
She agreed verbally, but of course she would not put it into action. The next day, she returned to Xu's house in the north of the city and talked to her uncle about the Yu Qionghua case.
After having lunch and chatting with my aunt, I returned to the south of the city in the afternoon and lied to Shang Boyu, saying that her uncle and brother had already agreed, and asked him not to worry and to be patient.
After hearing this, Shang Boyu's heart, which had been anxious for so many days, suddenly calmed down because of her words.
He believed that Meng Sheng, Xu Fengyun and Meng Shixu had this ability.
The progress of this case is much faster than Meng Sheng imagined.
In just one week, all the clients of the prostitution industry had been identified.
The wealthy families in the entire Beijing city were in chaos, and hot searches continued to appear one after another.
On the afternoon of January 15th, Meng Sheng suddenly received a message from Pei Sui: [In the Yueqifang prostitution case, the evidence is conclusive and the case will be closed and transferred to the procuratorate and the court for public prosecution and trial in a few days. 】
She was stunned.
For so many days, she has been waiting for the case to be concluded.
Now that she had finally waited for it, the excitement and rush made her heart beat faster and faster uncontrollably.
She has been taking this step by step for more than three months, and only she knows how difficult and painful the process was.
The final scene is finally coming to an end.
She pondered for a moment, a faint light tinged her eyes, and she edited the text and sent it over: [I want to meet Yu Qionghua, is that okay? 】
Pei Sui replied: [When? 】
Meng Sheng: [Transfer it to the court and the procuratorate. 】
More than half an hour had passed since Pei Sui sent this message, but he still hadn't responded.
It was not until dinner time that a message from him flashed onto the phone screen: [You can go to the police station to find Captain Chen tomorrow morning. He will take you in. 】
Meng Sheng paused while picking up the food.
It turned out that during the time I didn't reply to the message, I was helping her make arrangements.
She felt relieved, curled the corners of her lips imperceptibly, and replied "OK, thank you".
