"No, these are good."
Meng Sheng wasn't too picky and picked out a pair of light-colored jeans with a tag hanging on them and a simple top from the closet.
Pei Huan took a look and brought out another tank top. "This one goes perfectly with jeans. I've never worn it since I bought it. It's sure to look good on you. You have a great figure after all. I guarantee Asui will be stunned when he sees it later."
Meng Sheng stared at her speechlessly, "Nonsense."
"Humph, I'm not kidding. That idiot Asui treasured you so much that he even said hello to me when he was dragged away. He told me to take good care of you and that he would be back soon."
Pei Huan leaned lazily against the cabinet. "Honestly, when I first saw Ah Sui take you to the research and testing center, I was thinking that this blockhead had finally come to his senses. Later, when I found out you were married, I felt so sorry."
Fortunately, Asui did his best.
Not bad, not bad.
The child is teachable.
Meng Sheng laughed and pushed the suspenders dress back from her hand. "It's only 17 or 18 degrees today. I won't be cold."
"What's the big deal? How could I possibly let you get cold? Ah Sui will come after me. Go change first. I'll find you a coat."
Pei Huan was an impetuous and straightforward person. He pointed her in the direction of the bathroom and went to find clothes for her.
Meng Sheng didn't refuse anymore and went to the bathroom to change clothes.
The Chanel-style dress she was wearing was probably ruined, as the tea stains on it were probably impossible to wash off.
Pei Sui bought her this dress yesterday afternoon, specifically for her to wear when she came to the Pei family.
What she didn't expect was that the clothes were ruined in just one morning.
She sighed regretfully and was about to fold her clothes and put them into a white shopping bag when there was a knock on the bathroom door.
Pei Huan's voice followed, "Shengsheng, there's something wrong with the medicine my mom is stewing in the kitchen of the fifth courtyard. I'll go check it out. I'll leave your coat on the sofa outside. You can put it on when you come out."
I'll find a maid to take you back to grandma's place later. If you don't want to go back so soon, or if you're tired, you can rest here for a while. I've also sent a message to Asui."
Meng Sheng paused.
Is there something wrong with Cui Xueheng’s medicine?
She remembered the reminder in the text message and couldn't help but wonder, could this be Cui Xueheng's trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
Thinking of this, she frowned.
The cell phone that happened to be placed on the sink suddenly "dinged".
A text message flashed across the screen: [Hurry up! Cui Xueheng is already on her way to find you and try to scam you!]
Scam!
This word is quite appropriate...
really!
Pei Huan was deliberately sent away by Cui Xueheng.
Meng Sheng was stunned and quickly threw the clothes into the bag.
He opened the bathroom door and said calmly, "Grandma hasn't even rested yet, so I feel embarrassed to be lazy here. My clothes are changed. I'll go out with you and go back to Grandma's yard."
"Okay, put on your coat."
Pei Sui pointed at the beige soft leather jacket on the sofa and said, "Please leave the bag here with me. When we leave tonight, I can ask Asui to pick it up."
Meng Sheng smiled and nodded, then walked out of the room with Pei Huan.
The rain had stopped by now, and water droplets from the eaves dripped onto the bluestone floor.
Occasionally, when it falls into a small puddle, it will create ripples. The new marks overlap the old marks, gradually breaking the gloomy skylight reflected on the ground.
The way to the old lady's yard next door is different from the way to the fifth courtyard.
After exiting the moon-shaped gate of Pei Huan's courtyard, Pei Sui pointed out the shortcut under the corridor to her.
Meng Sheng asked, "Is this the only way to get to grandma's yard?"
"Well, this is the only road that connects my yard and my grandma's yard. What's wrong?" Pei Huan asked in confusion.
Meng Sheng frowned slightly, noticing the anxiety on her face, and didn't waste any more time, shaking his head gently, "No, go ahead."
"You remember the route I just mentioned, right? Maybe it's because the West Courtyard is busy today and it's raining, so you didn't see any servants. Otherwise, I would show you the way."
"Well, I've got it. Don't worry, I can't lose it, can I?"
After making sure Meng Sheng knew, Pei Huan went to the fifth courtyard with peace of mind.
Cui Xueheng needs to drink a bowl of Chinese medicine an hour after lunch every day.
This has been repeated for more than ten years.
Cui Xueheng has been particularly fond of her since she was a child, so she also respects Cui Xueheng very much. When it comes to Cui Xueheng's physical condition, she cannot ignore it.
Meng Sheng walked quickly because he didn't want to bump into Cui Xueheng.
It’s not that she is afraid of Cui Xueheng, but she just doesn’t want to get herself into trouble in an occasion like today.
No one would be willing to take the initiative to provoke such bad luck.
As the saying goes, if you can't provoke her, can't you hide from her?
But unfortunately, the opposite happened.
The more she doesn't want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen.
When she reached the end of the corridor, which was only one courtyard away from the old lady's yard, she saw a familiar figure coming into her sight from around the corner.
Her pupils shrank and her steps suddenly stopped.
I couldn't help but curse "bad luck" in my heart and sighed silently.
Seeing Cui Xueheng, wearing a dark purple cheongsam, walking straight up to her, she could only suppress her unhappiness, nodded slightly, and greeted her politely but with a bit of distance.
"Mrs. Cui."
Cui Xueheng stood in front of her with an arrogant look, and looked at her with three parts of ridicule and four parts of coldness.
It’s a pity that she is only about 1.65 meters tall and is wearing a pair of flat shoes.
Meng Sheng herself is 1.72 meters tall and wears a pair of 5-centimeter shoes. Just by looking at each other, Cui Xueheng's aura is as great as her height.
A lot shorter.
The word "Mrs. Cui" seemed very polite and indifferent, not as warm and intimate as if she was meeting her boyfriend's mother.
Although Cui Xueheng didn't care about her attitude, she still showed displeasure on her face when she heard her address.
"A Sui still calls me mom, what do you mean by that?"
Knowing that she was looking for trouble, Meng Sheng didn't get too polite and said with a slow smile, "If I call you Aunt Cui, I'm afraid you won't be happy to hear it."
Cui Xueheng was so annoyed that her throat choked and she could hardly speak.
After a pause, he sneered, "You're so sharp-tongued! When I went to the art museum to look for you after the New Year, you swore that I had misunderstood you and that you and Asui were just friends. You acted like you were so righteous and noble, but what happened?
Now, you've transformed yourself and are ready to enter our Pei family? Aren't you afraid that your double-faced, vain, and cunning behavior will tarnish the reputation of your Meng family? "
"You also said it was after the New Year. Several months have passed. Who knows what will happen tomorrow?"
