Meng Sheng was very surprised. The drizzle of rain fell on the car window, blurring her vision, but Pei Sui's handsome and cold face was deeply reflected in her eyes.
There is no blur at all.
Even on a rainy day like this, he didn't feel dark at all, as if there was always light around him.
Pei Sui knocked on the car window with his fingers, signaling her to get out.
Meng Sheng came back to his senses, turned on the car's hazard lights, pushed the door and got out.
She didn't have an umbrella in the car, so she raised her hand to block the rain, but before she could raise her hand, the cold rain did not fall on her face as she expected.
Looking up, I saw a black umbrella hanging above my head.
She was stunned, her eyes falling on Pei Sui's shoulders exposed in the rain.
The lights on this road are not very bright, and there is a light mist in the air.
It was hazy all around.
Meng Sheng opened his mouth and wanted to say hello, but his low and calm voice beat him to the punch, "Take photos for evidence, call the police and notify the insurance company."
"Oh... OK."
Meng Sheng closed his mouth, swallowed the words that were about to come out of his throat, nodded, took out his cell phone and took a few pictures of the place where the two cars were connected from different angles.
Pei Sui is a lawyer after all, and he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would settle a matter privately with you just because you're an acquaintance.
After they finished their respective calls, Meng Sheng asked, "Are we just waiting here for the traffic police and the insurance company to arrive?"
"It's not safe here, let's go to the roadside." Pei Sui said.
"good."
Meng Sheng nodded, stood under the umbrella, and walked to the roadside with him side by side. Through the rain, she looked at the two cars "intimately" connected to each other, and coughed lightly to break the silence.
"Ahem, I'm sorry, Lawyer Pei, this was an accident, I..."
It has been almost ten years since she got her driver's license, and she has always driven very steadily, without any accidents or incidents, not even a little friction.
Unexpectedly, the first accident happened when I hit the rear end of Pei Sui’s car.
"If nothing unexpected happens, you are fully responsible."
Pei Sui wore an Omega black diamond watch on his wrist. His fingers were slender with distinct knuckles. He held the umbrella handle firmly, and his cold tone was calm and unhurried.
Meng Sheng laughed awkwardly, "Ah, haha... I know."
The cold wind on the rainy night was bleak and biting. Because she was very busy today and it was such an important day as the first exhibition, she wore thin clothes mainly to look good.
It is a champagne-colored Chanel-style suit with a knee-length skirt.
As we were talking, the rain seemed to get heavier, and so did the wind.
Meng Sheng sniffed, couldn't help shivering, and rubbed his cold fingers.
She asked, "Why haven't you gone home yet so late?"
"Working overtime." Pei Sui asked casually, "What about you?"
Meng Sheng thought about the wording in his mind, but after thinking it over and over again, he couldn't find the right word, so he gave up and said, "Catching an adulterer."
Pei Sui glanced at her and asked, "Did you catch him?"
"I guess so." She said, "He went to see the pictures of the villa he bought for his mistress."
"Keep it."
"Um."
The two of them fell into silence again, with only the sound of the rain dripping around them. In this quiet atmosphere, it was like a piece of music suitable for rainy nights.
The waiting time is always long and awkward.
After a while, Pei Sui took the initiative to speak, "I found two people who have a good relationship with Yu Qionghua. Whether they are involved in Yueqifang's underground industry remains to be verified."
Meng Sheng was slightly stunned, "Which two people?"
"Mrs. Cao Shuang from the Han family, and Mrs. Zhao Yisan from the second room of the Feng family."
Meng Sheng was slightly stunned.
Mrs. Han and Mrs. Feng were mentioned in unfamiliar text messages.
But she never checked.
I didn’t expect Pei Sui to find out.
She frowned, "They are both shareholders of an underground industry and met at a socialite training class."
And all three of them have one thing in common.
The mistress takes over.
Moreover, they were all quite successful. Except for Yu Qionghua, the other two forced their original wives away.
Although Guan Rong is still in charge of the business, Shang Yizheng, as the head of the family, has his heart set on Yu Qionghua.
It seems that this socialite training class is really something.
Not to be underestimated.
"You know?"
"I just found out about it a few days ago, but I haven't found any evidence that they are shareholders." Meng Sheng said, "But... I found part of the account books of the underground industry, and a business plan for the development and operation of the underground industry... But it's only half."
Pei Sui, "Send it to me."
"good."
After Meng Sheng sent him everything he had taken that day, the traffic police arrived. When the two walked to the front of the car, they were asked to show their driver's licenses.
"I'm sorry, I didn't bring my driver's license with me. I left it in another car. I'm driving this car temporarily tonight. Can you see the electronic driver's license?"
The traffic police checked the vehicle information and asked, "Isn't this your car?"
"Well, this belongs to my husband."
While answering, Meng Sheng stretched his stiff fingers and found his electronic driver's license on his mobile phone.
The rain was heavier now, and the wind was biting harder. Her trouser legs were wet, and her nose and ears were red from the cold.
Pei Sui's narrow and cold gaze fell on her face, and then slowly moved to her slightly trembling shoulders.
That face that was obviously very aggressive now looked a bit more pitiful, yet pretending to be strong.
He frowned unconsciously, "You don't have another coat?"
Meng Sheng was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile, "I have been indoors all day, so I didn't wear anything thick..."
Pei Sui didn't say anything. After the traffic police checked her driver's license, he handed the umbrella to her and took off his coat and handed it to her.
"It will take time for them to process the case. The insurance company's people haven't arrived yet. Please apply for it first."
The rain and wind on the winter night, including his voice at this moment, were all cold.
But Meng Sheng could clearly feel the warmth from his coat transferring to her cold hands.
She opened her mouth, somewhat bewildered.
But Pei Sui had already turned around, opened the car door, and took out his driver's license to give to the traffic police. He then took the umbrella from her and explained the incident to the traffic police in an orderly manner.
There was a faint scent of cedar on the coat, a smell that was familiar to her as she had smelled it several times when she met him before.
She pursed her lips a few times, but she was not being pretentious. She was indeed cold, and it was a little unbearable.
He just said "thank you" and put on his coat confidently.
She is 172cm tall, which is considered tall, but this coat still looks big and loose on her.
The warmth in her clothes quickly enveloped her, her frozen hands slowly regained consciousness, and the wind no longer blew into her Chanel-style jacket.
The traffic police assigned the responsibility to Meng Sheng, and then the people from the insurance company came. After negotiations and both parties signed the accident responsibility letter, the traffic police and the people from the insurance company left one after another.
Meng Sheng apologized to him again, "Lawyer Pei, I'm sorry for taking up your time today. Thank you very much."
It rained for so long and he was the one holding the umbrella and actively communicating with the lawyer.
If she had hit someone else's car, especially in weather like today, she couldn't imagine how embarrassed she would be.
"Need not."
Pei Sui replied in a calm voice.
Meng Sheng pursed his lips and lowered his eyes to look at his coat. The hem of his coat was almost completely wet, and you could even wring water out of it.
She felt bad in her heart and said sincerely, "Thank you so much, I'm not being polite to you, especially about this dress..."
It took more than an hour from the time of the car crash to the time the matter was resolved.
His clothes had been on her body for nearly forty or fifty minutes, and the heat was lost. The biting cold came from all directions, making her shiver.
"If you don't mind, I'll take this coat back for dry cleaning and send it to you when it's done, okay?"
Pei Sui's eyes flashed with surprise, and he changed his words after a while before saying "It's up to you."
