The feeling of a hangover is naturally not much better.
Meng Sheng didn't sleep very well that night, but thanks to Pei Sui's bowl of sobering soup and lean meat porridge, she didn't vomit at least, but just had a headache.
I woke up the next day feeling groggy and still hadn't completely recovered.
So, now that the closing ceremony was over, she just lay down at home for the day.
Later, the headache became unbearable, so I got up and took two painkillers. It was not until the afternoon that I felt a little better.
She glanced at the azaleas on the low platform. Apart from the four pots that had already bloomed, the buds in the two pots that had been given to her earlier were gradually growing bigger.
It looks like it will bloom in a few days.
She walked over, picked up the watering can, and watered the six pots of azalea in turn.
Beep!
The phone on the coffee table suddenly received a WeChat notification sound.
She paused, put down the watering can, and picked up her phone to look at it.
The message was sent by Pei Sui.
[In the case of unjust enrichment with Ning Weiwei, the court has just issued a notice that the mediation session will be held at 10 a.m. on the 9th.]
9th morning?
That day…
Isn’t it also the time of the trial of Yu Qionghua’s case?
What a coincidence.
But she had no interest in the Yu Qionghua case.
According to Pei Sui, the case with Ning Weiwei should have a verdict on the 9th.
Meng Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
This was the moment when Ning Weiwei hit rock bottom.
It's finally here.
She smiled and replied to his message: [Okay, I got it.]
Pei Sui: [I'll call you before we leave the day after tomorrow.]
This means we are going to the court together.
It also makes sense.
After all, he was her attorney.
She didn't hesitate and agreed.
Four or five minutes later, Pei Sui sent another message: [Did you sleep well last night? Does your head still hurt?]
Meng Sheng paused with his knuckles: [Yeah, it’s good, thank you. ]
Pei Sui: [When did you get up? ]
Meng Sheng: [A little after twelve o'clock.]
Pei Sui: [Have you had lunch? ]
It's already past two o'clock.
I must have eaten.
but……
Meng Sheng glanced at the word "rice" and suddenly felt a blessing coming to his heart.
I don’t know if I’m overthinking it.
But I should thank him for last night.
She thought for a moment before typing: [I've already eaten. Do you have time tonight? I'll treat you to dinner.]
Pei Sui: [Okay. I'll be done with my work around 7 o'clock today. Just book a place and send me the location.]
Look, how readily he agreed.
Meng Sheng had reasonable suspicions that he did not think too much about it, but had fully understood it.
She stared at the deserted chat box and couldn't help laughing.
After logging out of WeChat, she searched for nearby restaurants and locked onto a shop that served meat cooked in a copper pot.
She called and reserved a seat.
It's only about ten minutes away from the Left Bank Courtyard, so it's quite suitable to walk there.
In the past, it was a walk, and now it is to digest the food.
After 6:41 in the evening, Meng Sheng wore a casual outfit, no makeup, tied her hair casually, and went out wearing sneakers.
But when she saw the nude high heels next to the shoe cabinet, she paused.
The image of the slightly blurry figure in a black shirt, with a cool and distinguished temperament, casually helping her carry her high heels last night emerged in her mind.
She pursed her lips, then withdrew her gaze and entered the elevator.
The days in March were a little longer and the temperature had risen a bit, but by this point, it was also completely dark.
The gentle evening breeze is mixed with a faint scent of cherry blossoms.
There are cherry trees on both sides of the left bank garden road.
The air was filled with a slightly sweet floral scent.
Meng Sheng walked slowly to the copper pot hot pot restaurant and didn't notice the shadow following behind him in the distance.
After she went in, Shang Boyu did not leave. Along the way, he was a little confused and didn't know where she was going.
Now I wonder if she came here to eat alone?
However, in less than twenty minutes, a tall and straight figure solved his puzzle.
It’s Pei Sui.
The moment he saw him, Shang Boyu's face turned cold.
As expected, the one who is closest to the water gets the moon first.
This statement is absolutely correct.
It seems that the two of them are making good progress and can even eat together near their home.
In his impression, this kind of thing was more like something a young couple would do.
I suddenly felt a mixture of emotions.
Jealousy, resentment, unwillingness, and a hint of melancholy and loss.
For a moment, he really wanted to rush in, grab Meng Sheng's hand, and warn Pei Sui to stay away from her.
But he is not qualified now.
Instead, it will make Meng Sheng hate him even more.
He can't do that.
He took a deep breath, and stayed downstairs for about five or six minutes to calm himself down before walking towards the Zuo'an Courtyard Community in a sullen manner.
His car is still parked over there.
I came here today just to try my luck and take a look at Meng Sheng from afar.
I really don’t know whether this luck is good or bad.
It’s good because I can see her walking out of the neighborhood.
The bad thing is that I didn't expect to see her having dinner with Pei Sui.
In the past few days, he had been looking around to see if there were any houses for sale in Zuo'an Courtyard, with the intention of moving there.
It’s a pity that this high-end residential complex was booked when it was first launched.
Who would suddenly resell a house like this? It would be too late to wait for it to appreciate in value.
Unless you need the money urgently.
He pulled the corners of his lips in self-mockery. When he passed the gate of Zuo'an Courtyard Community, he unexpectedly saw a graceful figure in a pink and white cheongsam walking out.
He was stunned for a moment, and then stopped walking.
The woman naturally saw him and was slightly stunned, then nodded to him politely and distantly.
Shang Boyu felt that this woman looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
But every time I think about it, those disorganized thoughts will drift away with the wind.
He frowned, not liking this feeling very much.
But when the woman was about to leave, he still asked, "Miss Lvy, are you here to see Shengsheng?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Ci was slightly stunned, stopped and looked sideways at him.
After about ten seconds, he shook his head slightly and asked, "Mr. Shang, are you here to see Director Meng?"
"Um."
Shang Boyu did not deny it, but asked, "Do you live here too?"
Gu Ci smiled slowly, as if she didn't know what was going on in her eyes. "Mr. Shang and I have only met once. Why is Mr. Shang trying to find out about you?"
"I'm sorry, I was just curious, I didn't mean anything else. I apologize for my incompetence."
Shang Boyu immediately apologized politely upon seeing this, and then asked bluntly, "What's your name?"
Gu Ci glanced at his gentle features and replied softly, "Gu Ci."
