My heart seemed to be squeezed by something, causing a heart-wrenching pain.
Meng Sheng's breathing suddenly became heavier and faster, but her eyes gradually became distracted as she looked at the rain outside the window, as if she was trying to bring back her memories, which seemed distant yet close to her.
Almost two years have passed, and she really can't remember some details about the date. Even in the current situation, her brain feels like it is about to turn into a mess when she tries to use it a little.
I vaguely remember that during the days when she was on a business trip, she received three calls from Xu Li in one day.
There was actually nothing unusual about Xu Li on the phone. Maybe there was a slight difference, but she was attending an academic conference that day and didn't notice it.
It was during the third call that Xu Li suddenly mentioned Shang Boyu to her.
It seemed like he was asking her whether Shang Boyu had called her during the days when she was out of town.
She seemed to be in a very good mood at the time, and said sweetly with full happiness, "Yes."
Although I have been with Shang Boyu for such a long time, whether before or after marriage, our life has been as sweet as honey.
Freshness, romance, surprise, and even fun, Shang Boyu has done well in all these aspects.
When she answered the phone, she was accompanied by several colleagues who were at an academic conference.
After she finished speaking, Xu Li was silent for a full half minute on the other end of the phone. At that time, Meng Sheng also noticed something was wrong and asked her what was wrong.
But Xu Li seemed to have taken a breath, but his voice was still gentle.
There seemed to be a hint of earnestness in her tone. "It's okay. Just attend the academic seminar first. When you return to Beijing, go back to the south of the city and have dinner with Mom, okay? Shengsheng."
Meng Sheng hesitated and agreed, "Okay."
During those days, Ning Weiwei also called her and asked her whether the academic discussion went well, whether she had any difficulty acclimatizing to the local climate, and whether she ate well and slept well.
We talked about a lot of other things and made an appointment to have German food together when we returned to Beijing.
She couldn't remember the exact time of the call, but she remembered that it was after Xu Li's call.
Looking back now, it was actually a reminder that was hesitant to speak, and also a test to see if Xu Li had told her the truth.
It is not difficult to guess Xu Li's hesitation and indecision. Perhaps he couldn't bear it and hoped that she would complete the academic discussion successfully before discussing the matter.
And what about Ning Weiwei’s tentative call?
Perhaps, it was because of this temptation that she decided to take action against Xu Li.
A layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Meng Sheng's back.
Suddenly, she remembered that her car had been tampered with.
That man in black...
If he had done something to Ning Weiwei two years ago, it would be easy to explain why Ning Weiwei was able to find someone to steal her car just after she was released from prison and was under surveillance by a private detective.
This is indeed not a difficult task.
Ning Weiwei tried to use the same method on the mother and daughter.
She simply couldn't understand how Ning Weiwei could comfort her as if nothing had happened and continue to be her best friend after deliberately killing her mother.
Ning Weiwei's viciousness and cruelty once again refreshed her cognition.
She leaned on the French window with trembling hands, trying hard to keep her shaky body from falling.
Does Shang Boyu know about this?
If Ning Weiwei had only taken action when he knew about it and allowed it...
When she thought of this, her breathing became rapid in an instant, the sound of rain began to buzz in her ears, and her whole heart seemed to be filled with countless silver needles.
The subtle pain climbed up from all her senses, driving away her remaining sanity.
If I hadn’t met Ning Weiwei, if I hadn’t become friends with Ning Weiwei.
Or maybe if she had not agreed to Shang Boyu's pursuit and married him, her mother would not have died and many things would not have happened.
After all, she was the indirect cause of her mother's death.
Some encounters, acquaintances, and loves are wrong in themselves.
It's totally wrong.
They—they, shouldn't know each other.
It's her fault...
The winding water marks on the glass blurred the vision, as if the moisture was overflowing from the bottom of the eyes, and it could no longer be contained, so it was allowed to roll down.
In a moment, a shadow suddenly gathered behind him.
Her back, which was about to give up, was pressed against a warm and firm chest. A pair of strong arms with smooth muscle lines passed through her waist and tightly embraced her in an embrace with the elegant fragrance of cedar wood.
The buzzing sound in my ears immediately became clear.
It was the sound of slightly warm and gentle breathing.
Meng Sheng was stunned, and the tears that couldn't be stopped in his eyes were paused in an instant.
The swollen emotions were like a sponge that was being soaked. It was originally getting fuller and fuller, but as he moved, it was squeezed a little bit and the water content gradually decreased.
The pain is not as obvious anymore.
Pei Sui held her quietly and kissed her earlobe. After a while, he asked, "It's raining heavily. Are you cold? Do you want to wear a coat?"
Meng Sheng's heart trembled. She turned around from his arms, put her arms around his waist, and put her face on his chest.
There was a hint of restrained crying in her soft voice, "Now, it's not cold anymore."
Pei Sui gently touched her head and said, "The noodles are ready. Let's eat first."
Meng Sheng sniffed and replied muffledly, "Yeah, okay."
The noodles were already on the table, but due to time constraints, I couldn't make braised beef noodles, so I only cooked a simple bowl of fried egg and lean meat noodle soup, and a bowl of beef noodles.
It depends on what she wants to eat.
Meng Sheng was considerate enough to try both types of noodles and finally chose the soup noodles.
It’s lighter and more comfortable to eat.
After taking a few bites, the suffocating feeling in his heart seemed to be slightly relieved. Meng Sheng raised his head and asked, "Did the police find Cheng Jie in the road surveillance near your law firm?"
"have."
Pei Sui looked at her red and swollen eyes and nodded in response.
Meng Sheng pursed her lips. "Can you show me the surveillance footage? A photo of Cheng Jie would be fine, too. I want a full-body shot."
She wanted to compare and confirm again, let the evidence speak for itself, rather than the vague guesses in her mind.
She wanted to know if the person who tampered with her mother's car over a year ago was actually Cheng Jie?!
"Sure, I'll call Chen Ye during the day and ask him to send a few pictures over."
Pei Sui paused, then looked into her eyes and asked, "What's wrong? Can you tell me?"
