Pei Sui reached out and touched her head, whispering, "If you're tired, take a rest. It'll take more than half an hour to get there."
The car was filled with the familiar scent of cedar, light and not pungent.
After smelling this fragrance for a long time, she got used to it.
Whether it was Pei Sui's body, his house, or her own bedroom, they were all filled with this fragrance.
And this fragrance also invisibly seeped into her skin tissue little by little, irrigated her heart, and spread out little by little.
Just like Pei Sui.
It was also little by little that he entered her heart.
She felt very safe.
She responded softly, but didn't close her eyes in a hurry. Instead, she asked, "Did the visit go well today?"
Pei Sui nodded and said as he started the car, "Well, there's some progress."
"When is the next court session?" She had also learned some details of the arson and murder case from him a few days ago.
"The 12th. The 12th is the last chance. If we appeal after the verdict, the chances of a reversal are slim."
This case happened in November last year and was transferred to the court at the beginning of this year. The court's investigation took a long time.
The main reason is that this case is quite complicated, the fire affected a large area, and there are still doubts about the suspect.
The lawyer originally appointed was not him, but the previous lawyer's style was rather radical. The suspect could not stand the other party's questioning method, and his mentality exploded. He was unwilling to be at the bottom of the lawyer's accord and asked to change lawyers.
This case was not funded by legal aid, but the suspect specifically requested him to represent him, and his family conditions were also quite good.
After understanding the whole process and progress of the case, Pei Sui also saw a clue in it. After repeated consideration, he took on the case.
"So, this time, I'm fully prepared, don't worry."
Meng Sheng smiled lightly. "Well, I believe you. You are the invincible Lawyer Pei. You have the highest winning rate among all the lawyers in Beijing."
Pei Sui raised his eyebrows and looked at her meaningfully with his slightly upturned almond-shaped eyes.
There was a rare hint of teasing and mockery in his cold tone, "Is this also the reason why you came to me in the first place?"
"Um?"
Meng Sheng was stunned for a moment and didn't react to what he meant by "the reason why I looked for him in the first place".
Meeting his deep and profound gaze, she belatedly realized that he was talking about the lawyer who had asked him to represent her in her divorce case.
The reason...
She suddenly remembered how confident the first text message was when it asked her to find Pei Sui and said that Pei Sui would help her.
At that time, she even had to look up his name on the Internet and was not familiar with him at all.
Until now, she still couldn't figure out why the text message led her to meet Pei Sui.
But in the end, just as the text message said, he really helped her a lot and really helped her escape from the suffering of the business world.
Whether it was her divorce from Shang Boyu or her fight with Yu Qionghua, Pei Sui was an indispensable figure around her.
Of course, she couldn't tell this reason.
The silence in the car lasted for a full ten seconds.
Meng Sheng suddenly remembered the Qianyu fountain pen that she had used as a starting point, and the Qianyu fountain pen that he had returned to her last year.
The corners of her crimson lips couldn't help but lift up slightly, forming a very gentle and bright arc.
"Well, I checked online and found that you have a 100% win rate among all divorce lawyers in Beijing. You have also seen several complicated cases.
I think... you are very powerful. You can always cut in from some unexpected places and catch the opponent off guard."
She didn't want to lie to Pei Sui, so she could only blur the real reason, and what she said was indeed true.
In fact, when she first looked up his Baidu Encyclopedia on Baidu, the first thing she saw was his lawyer ID photo, and her first impression was his angular face.
Really handsome.
Pei Sui turned his head and met her almond-shaped eyes that were filled with smiles. He slowly retracted his gaze and stared at the road ahead, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
He suddenly felt grateful to Shang Boyu for being so confused. Otherwise, he and Meng Sheng would probably have no intersection, let alone the chance to be with her.
He asked suddenly, "What now?"
"Um?"
Meng Sheng looked at his face and smiled, "It turns out that I made the right choice."
Pei Sui looked at her deeply and hummed softly, "I won't let you make the wrong choice either."
Meng Sheng smiled, and taking advantage of the gap between traffic lights, she reached out and squeezed his dry and warm palm. When she was about to pull away, Pei Sui held her hand back, and she didn't pull her hand away for the rest of the journey.
Although Meng Sheng felt tired along the way, he did not sleep. He chatted with Pei Sui all the way, which was quite comfortable.
More than 30 minutes later, the car arrived at Deqing Affiliated Hospital.
She unbuckled her seatbelt and gestured to Pei Sui, "Let's go, get on."
Pei Sui paused and whispered, "Go ahead. I'll wait for you here."
Meng Sheng was stunned, a little surprised, "You...you're not going up?"
"Well, I'll wait for you."
Pei Sui knew that Meng Chengli disliked him. Qiu Yi was coming today, so there was no need for him to go up and upset the old man and ruin the atmosphere.
Seeing Meng Sheng frowning, he leaned over, put his hand on the back of her neck, and said in a low, cold voice, "After your father is discharged from the hospital, I will formally bring gifts and visit him as your boyfriend."
After he finished speaking, he covered his lower lip and gently rubbed it against her lips. After a while, he said, "Let's go. I'll take you upstairs and wait for you in the lobby on the first floor."
Meng Sheng opened her mouth. She understood Pei Sui's concerns, and her heart instantly sank into a swamp.
Without waiting for her to say anything, Pei Sui pulled her out of the passenger seat, took her hand and walked into the hospital, passed by the outpatient building, and only let go of her hand when they reached the lobby on the first floor of the inpatient department.
Meng Sheng pursed her lips, glanced at him, and no longer acted pretentiously. She nodded gently, "Okay, I'll be down soon."
When she went up, autumn had already arrived. The two hadn't seen each other for a while. After hugging each other, they started chatting eagerly.
downstairs.
Pei Sui watched Meng Sheng enter the elevator and did not leave. Instead, he stood in front of an inconspicuous floor-to-ceiling window in the lobby, lowering his head to send a message to someone.
A few minutes later, a familiar, slightly surprised voice came over, "Hmm? Lawyer Pei?"
Pei Sui raised his head from the phone screen, and a figure in a white coat suddenly appeared in his cold and deep eyes.
He frowned slightly, but when Fu Chen walked more than two meters away, his brows had relaxed and his expression was very natural.
He didn't take the phone and simply said hello to the other party, "Professor Fu."
Fu Chen smiled and nodded slightly, "Why is Lawyer Pei standing here?"
"I'm accompanying Shengsheng to visit her father." Pei Sui said concisely.
"Oh? Shengsheng is here?" Fu Chen's face flashed with surprise, but he didn't ask why he didn't go up. "Is she okay after returning home last night? Did the medical department call her to express their condolences?"
