It is about to enter March, and the weather in Beijing has become slightly warmer.
Pei Sui was wearing a brown single-button suit today, which made him look less elite and more casual.
The last time we met was before the New Year.
It’s about twenty-two or twenty-three days from now.
However, on WeChat, he sent her a message of "Happy New Year" at midnight on New Year's Eve, and he would send her messages every now and then afterwards.
Most of them were just greetings. Only four days ago, he talked about a property recovery case and had sent a copy of the complaint to Ning Weiwei.
Calculating the time, Ning Weiwei should have received it yesterday or today.
I just don’t know how Ning Weiwei’s health has recovered after her miscarriage.
She stood up and said slowly, "Mrs. Cui left seven or eight minutes ago. Would you like to sit for a while and have some black coffee?"
When Pei Sui walked into the office, his face was calm and his brows were furrowed.
Now knowing that Cui Xueheng was gone, his brows furrowed even more tightly.
He looked at Meng Sheng's beautiful, rich face, as if trying to catch a hint of anger or some other emotion from it.
Unfortunately, no.
She was calm, no different from usual.
He walked in, stood in front of her desk, pursed his lips, and said slowly, "No need to bother. I'm sorry for causing you trouble.
I apologize to you...I'm sorry for her abruptness, intrusion and rudeness. ”
Meng Sheng listened and looked at his cold and three-dimensional face.
I couldn't say "It's okay" for a long time.
She moved her slightly stiff fingers and asked hesitantly, "Did you tell Mrs. Cui that..."
Pei Sui shook his head, "No. Now is not the time to talk about it."
The implication is that at least we have to wait until she agrees.
Only then was it legal and logical.
Meng Sheng's doubts deepened, "Then why did Madam Cui think that I was with you? She came to me several times and said..."
Pei Sui looked at her tense jawline and guessed that his mother must have said a lot of unpleasant things.
Too.
With my mother's personality, I can't say anything nice about her.
His face was grim, and he suddenly realized this detail, and asked in a low voice, "She came to see you many times?"
Meng Sheng said, "Yes. I made an appointment with her today. I thought she asked to see me twice because she wanted to cooperate with the art museum."
A hint of darkness flashed across Pei Sui's eyes.
I also sensed something unusual.
Cui Xueheng is a person who doesn't like to go out all year round. The last time he went out was three years ago when his grandfather passed away.
Return to Qingling City to hold the funeral.
But this time, he came to the south of the city several times to look for Meng Sheng.
It doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it.
He asked again, "What did she tell you?"
this……
She couldn't repeat those words.
Meng Sheng hesitated for a moment, then decided to be brief and concise, "They said we are not suitable..."
In fact, what Cui Xueheng said makes sense.
She and Pei Sui were indeed not suitable.
However, before he could finish his words, Pei Sui took over the conversation, "Don't take my mother's words to heart, and don't listen to her. She has no say in my affairs.
Don't worry, things like what happened today will never happen again. I'm sorry. ”
Meng Sheng looked into his deep and beautiful eyes, but could not catch any other emotions from him.
His apology at this moment was pure and sincere.
After a moment, she didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly, "Yeah."
Pei Sui said, "This matter is a bit unusual. I need to go back to the west of the city."
"good."
Meng Sheng tried to walk him a few steps, but he stopped her, "Don't walk him, just do your thing."
After leaving the office, his expression sank again, his fists clenched slightly, and he drove directly back to the west of the city.
Except during festivals, when the old lady of the Pei family is around, or when he is working, he rarely goes back to the west city.
The Pei family's old house is not as luxurious as the modern ones standing on the mountain or in the villa area.
Its layout is like an ancient house with four or five courtyards. It covers a very large area and is located in an ancient alley.
The two towering red-painted gates exude a majestic grandeur.
It was a huge house, but it seemed very quiet and lifeless.
The servants walked and talked very quietly.
They were all afraid of disturbing Cui Xueheng in the inner courtyard.
The Pei family also has an unwritten rule that they do not entertain guests during festivals or on ordinary days.
Cui Xueheng is not like other noble ladies who would make appointments to play cards or get beauty treatments every few days.
She was like a woman trapped in a large mansion in ancient times, living in that small world all year round and speaking very little.
Pei Sui and Cui Xueheng arrived almost at the same time.
The two met under the corridor of the third courtyard.
The weather was nice today, and the sun was bright and warm, but Pei Sui's body felt as if it had been quenched by extremely cold frost.
Cui Xueheng just glanced at him and walked past him.
After entering the main hall of the fifth courtyard, a middle-aged woman came up to them with a tray and nodded slightly to her and Pei Sui behind her.
"Madam, the second young master."
Pei Sui said nothing and sat down casually on a throne.
He knew that three and four o'clock in the afternoon were the time for his mother to take medicine, which was already past the time limit.
Cui Xueheng's illness has been going on for many years, but it is not particularly stable. She still suffers from mental disorders occasionally and has to take a lot of medicine every day.
The middle-aged woman who was handing her medicine and serving her water was named Du, and people in Pei's house usually called her Aunt Du.
She took care of Cui Xueheng for more than 20 years.
She is also Pei Huan’s biological mother.
While Cui Xueheng was taking medicine, someone brought Pei Sui a cup of tea. By the time he finished half of his tea, Cui Xueheng had also finished her medicine.
There was a hint of fatigue on her cold face and her brows were tightly furrowed, as if she was annoyed about taking medicine.
Aunt Du saw that the second young master had something to say to the lady, so she took the tray and left with a few servants outside the door.
The huge main hall suddenly became quiet.
Pei Sui looked at her and asked directly, "Why do you want to find Meng Sheng?"
"She is not suitable for the Pei family."
Cui Xueheng raised her hand and gently pressed her forehead, as if she had a headache, and her voice was cold.
Not suitable?
Oh.
Pei Sui was not angry. His expression was calm, but there was a hint of mockery in his heart.
He asked in a different way, "Then how did you know about Meng Sheng? Who told you?"
Cui Xueheng heard this and looked straight at his face. "Are you going to talk to me the same way you would talk to a criminal? She is a second marriage and is not suitable for our Pei family at all!
how? Has our Pei family fallen to the point where we have to marry a divorced woman? He is very ambitious. ”
Pei Sui listened to her words, and felt as if he was there personally to understand how Meng Sheng felt when he heard these words.
I just couldn't stop feeling annoyed.
There was a chill in his eyes as he shot at her, and in the huge hall, a tense atmosphere suddenly arose.
His voice was also cold, and even contained a hint of mockery.
"You haven't cared about me for more than 20 years. Now you want to interfere in my affairs like a loving mother and control who I like, who I want to be with, and who I want to marry. Who are you pretending to be for?"
