The spring sun after 8:30 in the morning is like a cup of freshly brewed tea, warm but not scorching.
When Meng Sheng arrived at the 16th floor, Gu Ci had just finished taking medicine and was basking in the sun by the windowsill. Her hands were not idle either, as she was trimming a bunch of sunflowers with a pair of scissors.
When he saw her, he was stunned for two seconds, and then a smile of surprise and joy appeared on his pale and pretty face, "Director Meng? What a rare guest! Come in and sit down."
She put down the scissors and asked the nanny to pour water.
"No need to rush." Meng Sheng stopped him, sat on the single sofa, and asked casually, "How is your health recently?"
"I'm much better now. I wanted to be discharged from the hospital in the next few days, but my mom and her family disagreed and insisted that I stay for a while longer."
Gu Ci took out an alcohol wipe and wiped her hands, then said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern. Team Leader Yun has shown me the third revised plan. I am very satisfied and look forward to the effect of the exhibition."
"I heard from Qiao Na that once the exhibition team has communicated with the material supplier, we can discuss the opening date."
Meng Sheng smiled faintly and was very kind, but he didn't exchange too many pleasantries with her.
He said directly, "I came here today because I have something else I want to confirm with Miss Gu."
Gu Ci nodded, "Director Meng, please speak."
"Miss Gu, do you like Pei Sui?"
Gu Ci paused, her heart tightened slightly, and the surprise in her eyes covered up all the crushed emotions well.
"Why did Director Meng suddenly ask this?"
"He's pursuing me, and I'm currently considering it."
Originally, when she learned last night that there was no evidence to catch the mastermind behind the report, she wanted to test Gu Ci.
But more than half an hour ago, Pei Sui gave her a surprise.
With the evidence that Gu Qinglian instigated the internet trolls to lead the trend, even if the ones leading the report were not their Gu family, she would still put the blame on their Gu family.
This is a warning as well as a warning.
This is to prevent the two sisters, Gu Ci and Gu Qinglian, one sinister and one vicious, from throwing all the dirty water on her and treating her like a sick cat.
Meng Sheng's eyes were calm and he said frankly, "If Miss Gu still likes him, you should try your best to please him. If you can make him change his mind and reconcile with you, then that's your ability.
But you wasted all that time on me, and even threw dirty water on me. Your methods are not worthy of being the third daughter of the Gu family."
The smile on Gu Ci's face froze instantly, and even the light in her eyes froze.
My heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand.
Her eyes flashed, as if she thought of something.
Her lips, which were originally a bit pink, gradually lost their color. She pursed her lips and said, "Director Meng, what do you mean by this?"
Meng Sheng stared at her deeply shocked, weak and pitiful appearance, and smiled softly, "I don't mean anything else, I'm just kindly reminding Miss Gu, aren't we friends?
In addition, we are now in a cooperative relationship, and we cannot allow misunderstandings to stand in the way and create rifts between us, so it is better to speak out the ugly truth up front."
Gu Ci's good temper instantly disappeared, and her face was full of hurt, "Director Meng, I think that from the time we met until now, I have sincerely wanted to be friends with you.
It’s true that Asui and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts, but we broke off our engagement six years ago and are now just friends.
I don't know what Director Meng misunderstood that made him humiliate me like this?"
Are you really sincere?
Not necessarily.
It is actually more accurate to say that he has ulterior motives.
"Meng Sheng!"
Before she could say anything, an angry roar came from the door, "Who gave you the courage to come here and bully Ah Ci? Do you think there is no one left in our Gu family?"
When Meng Sheng saw who was coming, Gu Qinglian had already stopped Gu Ci behind him and was staring at her with a ferocious look.
"What? You can't win Pei Sui's heart, but you still come to Ah Ci to show off? Your Meng family is one of the most scholarly families in Beijing, and this is all you get from this family education?"
Gu Qinglian was really going crazy.
When she walked to the door, she heard Meng Sheng's "ugly words first" words. After hearing Ah Ci's subsequent words, she roughly knew what had happened inside.
In Meng Sheng's eyes, Gu Qinglian now really looks like a competitive fighting cock.
She smiled lightly, but a thin layer of ice floated in her eyes, "Your Gu family really proves the saying - the leeks in the field are worse than the previous ones."
As she said this, she looked at Gu Ci, "Originally, I wanted to do your sake and not pursue yesterday's matter with Miss Gu Er, but since you two don't appreciate it, then forget it.
I will formally sue Miss Gu Qinglian for insult and defamation, and I hope Miss Gu Er will be able to discuss tutoring with me in court in the future."
Gu Ci's face turned pale again, and her throat felt like it was blocked by a soft sponge.
Every time she breathed, water would flow into her heart and lungs.
It's swollen and painful.
Sue Gu Qinglian?
Not her?
She subconsciously glanced at Gu Qinglian, who was already extremely embarrassed, and seemed to realize something.
Seeing Meng Sheng about to leave, he quickly stood up and held her back, "Director Meng, what happened? Is there any misunderstanding?"
If we let Meng Sheng go at this time, once she really goes through the prosecution process, the Gu family will be completely disgraced.
Meng Sheng looked back at her coldly and asked in an unclear mood, "Miss Gu San, don't you know that there was a rumor about me and Professor Fu on the Internet yesterday, and Miss Gu Er gathered hundreds of Internet trolls to slander me?"
Gu Ci's heart sank.
She looked at Gu Qinglian in surprise, "Sister, you...what Director Meng said...is it true?"
Gu Qinglian stood there with a tense expression.
The moment she regained her senses, she suddenly remembered what her father had said in the morning about how she acted without thinking and without considering the consequences, and he had sternly asked her to come to the hospital and apologize to Meng Sheng.
Suddenly I was speechless.
Seeing her reaction, Gu Ci said angrily with red eyes, "Sister, you...you are confused, how could you do such a thing? How can I face Director Meng in the future?!"
Gu Qinglian looked at her most beloved sister crying, and she hurriedly explained, "I... Ah Ci, I just wanted to vent your anger..."
Gu Ci opened her eyes wide in disbelief, and her tone became more serious, "So...so you fabricated such a scandal to discredit Director Meng?
Sister, I really admire Director Meng and really want to be friends with her. How can I be angry with her? Can you please stop taking it for granted? "
Meng Sheng stood by and watched quietly as Gu Ci came to question him.
I sneered in my heart.
It seems that she really didn't know about Gu Qinglan's use of internet trolls to stir up trouble, but now she wants to go with the flow and push Gu Qinglan out to take the blame.
You are quite capable.
He even schemed against his own sister.
This Gu Ci...
