Yuan Siying was stunned when she saw the text message, especially the two words "Pei Sui". They sounded a little strange to her, yet seemed very familiar.
After meeting Pei Sui at the racetrack for the first time, she collected a lot of information about Pei Sui on the Internet.
Later, when she pretended to attack He Xian, she and Pei Sui met twice more.
To her, Pei Sui was like a snow lotus growing in the cool mountains, noble and cold, yet out of reach.
But all those desires, expectations and yearnings were hidden deep in my heart with the series of events that happened later.
No one else knew about this except her aunt Yu Qionghua.
But this text message said that it would help her pursue Pei Sui.
Are you kidding me?!
She felt it was ridiculous, but at the same time she felt it was like a life-saving straw appearing in her dark world.
She wanted to grab it, but hesitated.
She typed tentatively: [Who are you? Why do you know this? And why are you helping me? ]
Two minutes after the message was sent, the message came back: [You don't need to know who I am, you just need to tell me whether you want to deal with Meng Sheng or pursue Pei Sui.]
Yuan Siying: [What is your purpose in helping me like this? Do you want to use me? ]
[Yu Qionghua is in prison, and your cousin Shang Boyu is still unknown whether he is alive or dead. You don't think Meng Sheng will let you stay in the art museum forever, do you? She is just waiting for the right time.]
Does it matter if I'm using you or not? What matters is that I can really help you, at least get you out of the precarious situation you're in now.
Yuan Siying glanced at these words and felt that something hard in her heart was being disintegrated bit by bit.
But I still felt a little bit of fear and uneasiness towards the unknown person who sent the text message.
Deqing Affiliated Hospital.
Having not received a reply from Yuan Siying for a long time, Gu Ci curled the corners of his lips indifferently, and simply put the phone aside, looking at the rainy sky outside with a pair of calm and indifferent eyes.
Yuan Siying needs time to think about it, so she will give her time to think about it.
Given how obsessed Yuan Siying is with Pei Sui, there is no way she would let go of such a big pie hanging in front of her.
The Pei family had just changed their view of her, and Pei Sui was now suspicious and alienated from her, so she could only "calm down" and take a two-pronged approach.
"Aci, what are you thinking about?" Gu Qinglian came in and saw her in a daze, "I called you several times but you didn't respond."
Gu Ci came back to her senses, and all the active thoughts in her mind came to an abrupt halt.
Meeting Gu Qinglian's worried look, she smiled and said, "Nothing, I'm just watching the rain outside."
Although Gu Qinglian didn't understand what was so beautiful about the rain, she didn't say anything.
"Aci, have you seen the trending searches? Meng Sheng's ex-husband Shang Boyu committed suicide for her. Meng Sheng is really cold-blooded and heartless.
As soon as the trending search came out, the museum issued a statement early in the morning saying that she and Shang Boyu had divorced a long time ago and it didn’t matter. It was so high-sounding. ”
Of course Gu Ci had seen this hot search.
It was because of this that she decided to contact Yuan Siying.
Because Yuan Siying’s last support for living in Beijing’s upper class society was gone.
She originally thought that this chess piece could only be used when the internal strife among the Shang family was over and Shang Boyu was completely defeated.
She had never expected that Shang Boyu would commit suicide by swallowing a needle.
But it also gave her a chance to "rest".
"How is Shang Boyu now? Is he in danger?"
"I called to ask specifically, and they said Shang Boyu had swallowed six needles in total, causing severe trauma to his stomach and intestines, and bleeding in his lungs. He was lucky to have survived, but his life is completely ruined."
Gu Ci was a little surprised.
Six needles.
How much courage and determination does it take to swallow this?

Three days later, Meng Sheng learned about Shang Boyu's current condition from Yuan Siying. He was in a vegetative state, although his hands and feet could move.
Yuan Siying begged her to go to the hospital to visit Shang Boyu, but she felt it was meaningless and she had no obligation to do so.
And what would happen if she took a look?
Can Shang Boyu get better?
Yuan Siying really didn't expect that someone who looked so gentle and kind could be so heartless.
"My brother is already in that state, why do you have to be so heartless and indifferent? I just asked you to go to the hospital to see him and give him a chance to live, but you are unwilling to do so?"
Meng Sheng looked at her coldly, "Why should I agree? What qualifications do you have to make me agree? When you say these words, think about how your brother and your aunt treat me first, and then think about it.
If you really want someone to visit him, you can wait until Ning Weiwei is released from prison. She might be willing to visit your brother."
"you!"
Yuan Siying was so overwhelmed by her words that she couldn't say anything and could only turn away.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Qiao Na walked into the office and handed her the tablet. "Director, take a look."
Meng Sheng lowered his eyes to the tablet, on which was a video, about two minutes long, showing Yuan Siying standing at the hospital entrance with red eyes being interviewed by reporters.
The first two questions were normal, but when the reporter asked her the reason why Shang Boyu committed suicide, her eyes seemed to be even redder.
There is also the art of speaking, but it is also easy for people to understand the meaning.
It was nothing more than confirming that Shang Boyu's suicide was related to Meng Sheng, but she was so cold-hearted that she was unwilling to even go to the hospital to see Shang Boyu.
Meng Sheng didn't react much. After reading it calmly, he said calmly, "Fire Yuan Siying. Contact reporter Zhang and reporter Liu to come to the art museum."
No one can throw this dirty water on her!
Moreover, she had also decided on Yuan Siying's face.
No one remembered that Shang Boyu had an affair with her "best friend" Ning Weiwei, so she didn't mind reminding netizens again.
When Qiao Na heard this, she immediately understood what she meant and nodded to go out and make arrangements.
Less than three hours after Yuan Siying’s interview was released, Meng Sheng’s interview was also released.
In the video, Meng Sheng was not wearing any makeup, and her beautiful face was gentle and peaceful. When faced with reporters' questions, she did not give a long speech, but spoke briefly and to the point.
The answer was strong and sharp.
He clearly stated that he would not be influenced by any moral blackmail, and also emphasized the reason for his divorce from Shang Boyu.
That night, someone directly dug up the reason why Yuan Siying worked in the art museum and firmly attached the label of "ungrateful" to her.
When this happened, the person who was most angry was not Yuan Siying, but Gu Ci.
She cursed Yuan Siying in her heart as a fool!
Let her think about it for two more days, but she ended up giving Meng Sheng a good opportunity to fire her!
It's so hopelessly stupid!
Her plan had not even started when she encountered a setback because of Yuan Siying.
After coming back for so long, she had never been so angry before, when facing Meng Sheng or when her plan failed.
She thought that although Yuan Siying was very smart, she would not slap Meng Sheng in the face at this time. As long as Meng Sheng was led to the hospital, the things reported by the reporters later would be logical.
It took Gu Ci a long time to calm down, then he closed his eyes and thought seriously about what to do next.

This incident fermented on the Internet for only two days before it was completely settled.
This incident did not have any impact on Meng Sheng.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, she was having a conversation with Meng Chengli when her cell phone suddenly rang with a text message alert.
[You are in the house in Zuoan Courtyard. The water pipe in the bathroom outside the living room has broken and the water has overflowed from the bathroom. ]
Broken water pipe?!
Meng Sheng paused.
The first thing I thought of was that Sisi was still at home, and I wondered if he was okay.
Without thinking, she opened the monitoring device software on her mobile phone and looked around before she saw Sisi.
At this moment, it was sitting on a cabinet not far from the bathroom like a cat that had never seen the world, watching the water flowing out with curiosity and surprise.
Fortunately, everything is fine.
She also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly found the phone number of the housekeeper downstairs in her address book and asked them to help go up and take a look.
After hanging up the phone, Meng Chengli asked in surprise, "The water pipe is broken? Why did it break for no reason?"
Meng Sheng shook his head, stood up and picked up his bag. "I don't know what happened yet. I just checked the surveillance camera and the water has flooded into the living room. Dad, I have to go back and check."
Meng Chengli nodded, "Okay, go back and take a look. Don't be anxious, drive slowly and be careful."
Meng Sheng agreed, said a few words to the nurse and the nanny, and was about to leave, when Fu Chen happened to walk in.
Seeing her tense expression, Meng Chengli also looked a little worried, so he asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"The water pipe in Shengsheng's house broke and the water flooded into the living room. She was in a hurry to go back." Meng Chengli replied.
"Is it so serious?" Fu Chen said, "Then I'll go back with you to take a look."
Meng Sheng was stunned and politely declined, "No, I've asked someone to check it out, it shouldn't be a problem. You're so busy, why should I bother you?"
Fu Chen said, "It's okay, I really don't have anything to do right now, it's rare that I have so much free time.
I came here to tell you that I wanted to invite you out for dinner tonight. There is no rush to eat now, so I will go back with you to check on the situation at home. Maybe I can help."
Meng Sheng knew that he meant well, but still declined, "It's really okay, I..."
Meng Chengli interrupted her and said directly, "Since Achen is free, let him accompany you back. I am worried about you driving when you are in such a hurry.
The water is so strong that it has soaked the floor. We must call a repairman. It is not safe for you, a girl, to stay at home."
Meng Sheng was speechless and looked at Meng Chengli helplessly. She just opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Meng Chengli waved at her.
"Go back quickly and don't delay here any longer."
Meng Sheng had no choice but to swallow his words and smiled awkwardly at Fu Chen, "Thank you for your help."
Fu Chen's eyes were gentle and he smiled, "It's not a problem. Let's go."
The two went straight to the underground parking lot. Fu Chen asked her to take his car, but Meng Sheng declined.
She drove here by herself, so there was no need for her to take his car back.
Fu Chen did not force her. He drove behind her car and when they arrived at the Zuo'an courtyard, he parked his car outside.
As soon as the two of them went up, the housekeeper told her the current situation, "Ms. Meng, the broken pipe is the main pipe of the bathroom. I have closed the water gate. The maintenance personnel just arrived and are repairing it inside."
Meng Sheng nodded, "Thank you. Does it affect the people downstairs?"
"I contacted the residents downstairs immediately and there was no impact."
"That's good."
Meng Sheng walked in. There was water on the floor outside the bathroom, which was slowly flowing towards the living room. Even the cabinets next to it were soaked in water.
This situation was even more serious than what she saw on the surveillance camera.
She frowned and was about to step in to take a look, but Fu Chen stopped her and said, "It's all water, don't go over there, or you'll get your shoes wet. I'll go in and take a look."
After saying that, he took a step with his long legs and walked into the bathroom in two or three steps.
Sisi suddenly appeared from nowhere, rubbed against her feet, tilted his head, and meowed at her a few times.
Meng Sheng picked up Sisi with a smile. He saw that all four of her legs were wet and there was water on her fluffy fur. He quickly found a blanket to wrap her up, wiped the water off her body, and then blew her dry with a hair dryer.
Fu Chen came out and saw the cat on her lap. He was a little surprised, "You still have a cat? It's quite cute."
Seeing that the fur was dry, Meng Sheng turned off the hair dryer and replied, "It's not mine, it's Pei Sui's. He's on a business trip and left the cat with me for a few days."
Hearing this, Fu Chen's eyes narrowed for a moment, and he turned his gaze away from the cat and said with a smile, "I see. Miaomiao also likes cats very much, but it's a pity that I can only like them, but I can't raise them."
He paused for a few seconds and then continued, "The master is already repairing it inside. It will be done soon. I will help you move those cabinets away and deal with the water on the floor."
"Let me do it."
Meng Sheng stood up. Afraid that Sisi would get wet again, he simply locked it in his bedroom and started to clean up.
Half an hour later, the maintenance technician had repaired the water pipe and the water on the ground was almost dealt with.
Seeing that Fu Chen was still helping her sort the things, she hurriedly said, "Professor Fu, take a break. There's no rush for those things. The water on the floor hasn't dried yet. Let's talk about it after it dries."
Seeing that this was indeed the case, Fu Chen nodded.
Meng Sheng noticed that he was a little wet and asked, "Do you want to use a hair dryer to dry it?"
Fu Chen lowered his eyes to look at his wet clothes and pants, shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's not too wet, it will dry soon."
"Thank you so much today, Professor Fu. If you don't mind, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
Fu Chen said, "My clothes are wet, it's not convenient to go out to eat, let's eat at home, and let me taste your cooking skills, okay?"
“I’m just an average cook.”
"It's okay." Fu Chen joked, "By the way, we're not in the hospital now, so just call me by my name. Otherwise, it sounds like I'm still at work."
After hearing what he said, Meng Sheng didn't refuse anymore. He brought him a cup of warm water and went to the kitchen to busy himself.
After about an hour, she prepared three dishes and a soup and served them on the table.
Fu Chen tasted every dish, looked at her calm expression, and praised her generously, "Well, it seems that you are being too modest. These dishes all taste pretty good."
Meng Sheng laughed, "Please don't say that. I'll be proud if you praise me again."
"I'm not afraid of your pride, because what I say is true."
The two finished the meal while chatting and laughing, and when they put away the dishes, Fu Chen noticed that it was already past eight o'clock, so he said goodbye tactfully.
Meng Sheng did not try to keep him and wanted to send him out of the community, but was stopped by him at the elevator door.
She had no choice but to thank him again, "Thank you so much for helping me today. Otherwise, I don't know how long I would have to work on my own."
"You're welcome. It's just a simple thing. Besides, you cooked a meal for me yourself, so we're even."
"Then go slowly and drive safely."
"Um."
Fu Chen took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor. After walking a few steps, he saw a tall and straight figure walking out of the glass door in front of him from afar.
The man was wearing a dark grey suit and carrying a small black suitcase in one hand.
The pair of indifferent, deep and somewhat lazy almond-shaped eyes were slightly raised, and their gazes collided violently with his in the air across a distance of ten meters.
