Pei Sui said, "There's no particular reason. I made the decision after careful consideration and on-site investigation when choosing the site."
In fact, even if the law firm was established in the west of the city, he would not live in the Pei family's old house.
While the two were chatting, there was a knock on the door and he got up to open it.
The servant asked, "Second Young Master, do you need me to take the food to the dining room?"
"No, give it to me."
Pei Sui took the tray, lifted his leg to close the door, turned around and walked to the low coffee table, and said to the person on the bed, "Come and eat."
Meng Sheng responded, quickly got up from the bed, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and then came out to sit next to him.
There were four kinds of exquisite and beautiful pastries on the plate, as well as a brownie and fruit, and two ice dumplings.
She tasted everything and simply filled her stomach. Seeing that it was almost time, she packed up and went to her grandmother's yard with Pei Sui.
When they arrived, Cui Xueying was already talking to several unfamiliar ladies.
There was a genuine sadness revealed between his brows.
The moment she saw Meng Sheng, she couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly.
Although she rolled her eyes quickly, Meng Sheng still noticed her undisguised eye roll.
The afternoon's group fight was tiring enough, and she didn't want to waste more energy dealing with these irrelevant people.
So I just pretended not to see her and greeted a few familiar people with a natural smile.
Cui Xueying was furious when she saw her arrogant and conceited look.
Especially the breath that was stuck in my chest in the afternoon, which couldn't go up or down, it was so uncomfortable.
Although I know that she is not someone you want to mess with, I was so angry that I couldn't help but want to tease her.
"Hey, Shengsheng, you're finally here. Why haven't I seen you all afternoon? Did you ask Asui to take you to visit the garden?"
She had a smile on her face and her voice was warm and natural, and there was no hint of her being directed at Meng Sheng.
Like an elder who cares whether the younger generation has fun and eats well.
In fact, she had just told the ladies around her that her sister Cui Xueheng was in poor health and needed to rest and could not show up in public anymore.
He also took the opportunity to brag about Pei Huan's filial piety.
But as Pei Sui's girlfriend, Meng Sheng only wanted to play. Not only did she play by herself, she also wanted to drag Pei Sui to play with her.
This is an implicit criticism of Meng Sheng's lack of education.
It’s no wonder that the Cui family is so unrefined.
She didn't even know the whole point of this acting. If she had been as enthusiastic and friendly as she was now when she first met Meng Sheng in the morning, instead of being so cold and disdainful.
Perhaps in this situation, outsiders would truly believe that she was not mocking Meng Sheng, but was expressing the deep love and care of an elder for her.
If Meng Sheng were to retaliate now, others would probably really say that she was arrogant and domineering.
pity……
Tsk!
They say she is so old but still so stupid, her IQ is touching.
Meng Sheng was also speechless. She glanced at Cui Xueying indifferently with an expression that said, "Are you not done yet?"
As her red lips moved, before she could utter a word, a familiar, cold and slightly gloomy voice sounded in her ears.
"It seems my aunt has a bad memory. She forgot so quickly. We just met at Qingheyuan more than two hours ago."
The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Pei Sui who suddenly spoke.
Pei Sui's eyes were dark and sharp, like a sharp blade, piercing straight into Cui Xueying's heart.
That's really no mercy at all.
Cui Xueying couldn't help but tremble at the sight of him looking at her like that.
But with so many people watching, as the elder, if she just lets it go like this, how can she face people in the future?
Now that she was publicly humiliated, she was furious and tried to make excuses for herself, "You also said that was more than two hours ago. I didn't see her when I returned to this yard, so I asked what happened. What's wrong? What's the meaning of no ill intentions?
Look at why you react so strongly? And you look at my aunt with such eyes, oh, my aunt is so worried..."
“Isn’t it over yet?!”
Pei Sui interrupted her irritably, staring at her with increasing impatience.
He had limited patience, having already exhausted it all in Qingheyuan in the afternoon. Now he really didn't want to listen to her chattering and causing trouble for Shengsheng.
Cui Xueying's eyes widened in astonishment. She stood up angrily and pointed at Pei Sui, "How dare you talk to me like that! You..."
"Ahem, okay."
The old lady who had been silent all this time suddenly coughed twice.
She slept for a while and woke up at half past three.
After all, today was her birthday party, and it would be inappropriate for her to stay in the room all the time without showing up, so as soon as four o'clock, she reappeared in the hall with the help of her nanny.
Of course, she could see that Cui Xueying was deliberately looking for trouble, so she did not stop her when Pei Sui confronted her just now.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of hand, she had no choice but to speak out to put an end to the farce. She immediately scolded Pei Sui, "A Sui, please be rude. How can you talk to your aunt like that?"
Pei Sui did not refute the old lady, but simply withdrew his gaze indifferently.
He hadn't said anything more unpleasant yet, otherwise, he would definitely make Cui Xueying get out of the Pei family right now!
The old lady smiled and said to Cui Xueying, "Aying, don't be offended. You know Asui well. He means no harm. Don't take it personally and don't get angry."
Um.
Since you have no ill will towards Meng Sheng, then Asui definitely has no ill will towards you either.
After saying that, her cloudy eyes, which were full of kindness and smile, stayed on Cui Xueying's face, which looked a little pale, for two seconds.
Without waiting for her to reply, he waved to Meng Sheng, "Come, Shengsheng, come and sit down."
Since someone came to help him out, Meng Sheng naturally wouldn't bother with Cui Xueying anymore.
She smiled, walked over, called out "Grandma", and sat down next to the old lady.
The old lady smiled and asked amiably, "How was your rest? This is your first time back at the Pei family, are you getting used to it?"
Meng Sheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yeah, it's pretty good."
"That's good."
The old lady nodded.
On an occasion like today, her caring for Meng Sheng was undoubtedly an announcement to the world that she liked and was satisfied with Meng Sheng, her future granddaughter-in-law.
No matter what the people in the flower hall thought in their hearts, at least they all appeared harmonious and praised Meng Sheng again and again.
Of course, this kind of praise should not be taken seriously, let alone taken too seriously.
As for Cui Xueying, no matter how angry she was, she had to suppress it.
Because she couldn't refuse the old lady, she had to continue chatting and laughing with the ladies next to her.
The evening banquet went as smoothly as usual, and the guests left one after another shortly after the meal.
The Gu family was the last to say goodbye to the old lady.
Seeing that Gu Ci looked so pale, the old lady stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and said distressedly, "Ah Ci, it's still raining outside. Your health is very important and you can't stand the rush. Why don't you stay at home tonight?"
