Meng Sheng knew that she couldn't say anything, but he still felt uncomfortable after hearing it with his own ears.
She looked indifferent, pulled the corners of her lips, and said in a voice as light as water, "Mrs. Cui, according to Article 246 of the Criminal Law, if a person intentionally fabricates and spreads false facts,
Anyone who damages the reputation of others shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, controlled release or deprivation of political rights.
If defamation does not meet the standards of a criminal offense, administrative penalties may be imposed in accordance with the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, including detention for up to five days or a fine of up to 500 yuan.
If I were to ask which aspect has changed the most since being with Pei Sui.
That is, her legal knowledge reserves are richer.
Usually, as long as she didn't work overtime or stay at the hospital for too long at night, he would take the unfinished work home.
After working with him in the study several times and listening to him make a few phone calls, she could recite these daily legal common sense at any time.
Cui Xueheng's face, which was originally gentle and well-maintained, but now looked even more harsh and sarcastic due to the displeasure and picky expression, almost couldn't hold back after hearing her words.
Stunned, surprised, and a little embarrassed, "You...what do you mean by this? Do you want Asui to sue me? Don't forget, no matter how bad our relationship is, we are still mother and son!
Defamation? Ridiculous?! What did I say that wasn't true?! How did I defame you?!
"If that's the case, please provide me with evidence that I'm hypocritical and vain. If your words get out, they'll damage my reputation. I'm legally defending my own interests, so what's wrong with that?"
Meng Sheng asked calmly, too lazy to look at her divided expression.
Her intuition told her that the big drama brewing in Cui Xueheng's heart was about to begin.
Less than two seconds after she finished speaking, she took a step forward and prepared to leave.
There seems to be no surveillance camera or other people around here. Once Cui Xueheng starts singing, she won't be able to explain herself even if she has a mouth all over her body.
However, just as she was about to pass by Cui Xueheng, Cui Xueheng suddenly covered her chest with one hand and supported her forehead with the other, her body swayed a few times, and she looked like she was about to collapse.
Perhaps knowing that she was trying to scam him, Meng Sheng subconsciously moved a few steps to the side, creating a distance of two meters between them.
Cui Xueheng was really angry about her behavior.
She opened her eyes wide, filled with anger and surprise.
This was totally different from what she had expected!
"You... why are you backing away?! You're so mad at me that I have a headache, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing, and you didn't even come up and help me?!"
to be honest……
Compared with Yu Qionghua, Shang Boyu, Ning Weiwei, and even Gu Ci, this acting is so bad that it is unbearable to watch.
If this were a TV series, people would have already started posting insults in the comments.
She sighed silently, took two steps closer, and said softly, "Mrs. Cui, I know you don't like me. Although I don't know how I upset you, what you just said really hurt my heart.
Our Meng family is not rich, but we have some reputation in Beijing. I have no shortage of money.
If outsiders knew that you were faking illness to frame me, and the Pei family was discredited because of you, I wonder what grandma and your children would think then."
Cui Xueheng's pupils trembled. She didn't expect Meng Sheng to see it.
"Pretending to be sick? You're just lying!"
She put down her hand and asked angrily, "Meng Sheng, have you forgotten your identity? How dare you threaten me like this? Don't you even consider whether you are qualified enough for me to pretend to be sick and frame you?"
Wow, a medical miracle.
Doesn’t your headache hurt anymore?
Your chest isn't stuffy anymore?
Is breathing easier?
Meng Sheng smiled. "How can it be a threat? I'm just thinking about you."
As soon as they finished speaking, four or five figures came from a nearby corner, accompanied by their cheerful laughter, and were slowly brought to their side in the damp and slightly chilly breeze.
The tense atmosphere between them was instantly shattered.
As soon as he saw the figure among the girls, Meng Sheng's calm almond-shaped eyes, which were covered with a thin layer of frost, narrowed slightly.
Gu Ci stopped and looked at them in surprise, "Aunt Cui, Director Meng?"
When she met Meng Sheng's scrutinizing gaze, she calmly moved to Cui Xueheng and hurried to her side. "Aunt Cui, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so bad?"
Two or three other girls also ran over and called out "Aunt" and "Auntie".
One of them looked at the girl who was only in her early twenties and directly questioned Meng Sheng in a haughty manner, "What did you do to my aunt?!"
The person who spoke was the youngest daughter of Uncle Pei Sui.
Meng Sheng ignored her and kept his eyes fixed on Gu Ci.
He asked calmly, "I would like to ask first, Miss Gu, what do you mean?"
Gu Ci was stunned, a little surprised, and asked in confusion, "Wha...what?"
"What you just said seems to be deliberately leading them to misunderstand what I did to Madam Cui."
Her light words were like putting invisible labels such as "scheming" and "green tea" on Gu Ci.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Instead, it made the clear sound of dripping water from the eaves much clearer.
Gu Ci's heart skipped a beat, somewhat surprised by Meng Sheng's reaction.
Did she already know something?
impossible!
When Cui Xueheng pretended to be sick to frame Meng Sheng, she just used a few words to guide him.
Cui Xueheng didn't tell her the plan either.
The reason I brought so many people here was actually to serve as witnesses, and then use this commotion to attract other people.
Let the old woman who only said that she liked her and pitied her, but was completely biased towards Meng Sheng in her heart, come and see how the character of the granddaughter-in-law she had chosen was not worthy of Asui.
But this development was completely beyond her expectations.
She has always been an innocent person.
But Meng Sheng's words would drag her into the quagmire and even arouse suspicion and doubt from others.
The person she brought over did not become the witness she wanted, but became Meng Sheng's promoter.
Her nails dug into her palms, and her expression deliberately relaxed for a moment.
Then, as if he had just realized something, he hurriedly explained, "Director Meng, you misunderstood. I just saw that Aunt Cui didn't look well, and I was a little worried and anxious. I didn't mean what you said."
"Oh, really?"
Meng Sheng responded calmly, "It seems like there really is a misunderstanding. Miss Gu and I have worked together for such a long time, and you are indeed not that kind of person."
She shifted her gaze to another fair, pretty face. "So Miss Cui's eyesight isn't very good? I clearly wanted to help Madam Cui, but you took it as me trying to bully her. I feel so wronged."
"Mrs. Cui, why don't you explain it to them?"
She changed the subject again, "This is my first time coming to your Pei family. Regardless of whether I am here as Pei Sui's girlfriend or even if I am here on behalf of the Meng family, I am still a guest.
I've heard that guests should follow the host's wishes, but now you have misunderstood me for no reason and are questioning me in such an attitude.
If I don't explain this clearly, I might feel uncomfortable, but if it gets out, it will damage the reputation of these young ladies, which is a big deal. Madam Cui, what do you think?"
