Meng Sheng didn't want to talk to him about this. There was no point in beating around the bush. She pursed her lips and said, "I came here today mainly because I have a question for you."
A hint of surprise flashed across Shang Boyu's silent peach blossom eyes, like the sky clearing up after the rain, and he finally saw the sun he had been longing for for a long time after the clouds parted.
Of course, he didn't expect Meng Sheng to come and ask him whether he regretted cheating on him. His mind was actually in a mess right now.
Just looking at her face, so beautiful that it made even the sun look dim, was enough to make his brain lose its ability to think.
His heart and eyes were now filled with her. His eyes were staring at her, depicting her appearance, trying to deeply imprint this vivid Meng Sheng in his mind.
Seeing the scorching light in his eyes, Meng Sheng subconsciously frowned, "I'm talking to you, are you listening?"
"Hmm?" Shang Boyu saw her frown and immediately came back to his senses. "I'm listening. You...you ask."
Meng Sheng glared at him and asked directly, "Do you know that Ning Weiwei killed my mother?"
Shang Boyu was stunned, his brain was dull for a full five seconds, and his already pale face was now completely bloodless.
For a moment, he thought he was hallucinating, but his pounding heart, the pain in his stomach and lungs, brought him back to reality. "Wha...what? You said... Ning Weiwei killed your mother? Wasn't that an accident? How...how dared she? How is it possible?!"
Perhaps it was because his acting skills were too superb before. Meng Sheng watched his reaction and did not miss any details in his expression, while trying to determine whether his reaction was true or false in his mind.
No one spoke for a long time.
Shang Boyu struggled to stand up. Even though his body was in pain, he gritted his teeth and persevered. The redness in his eyes seemed to deepen a little. "Shengsheng, are you telling the truth? Your mother... is she really her?"
"You don't know anything at all? You've been with her for so long." Meng Sheng asked calmly.
Shang Boyu was stunned. When he heard her say those words with his own ears, he still felt infinite guilt and shame in his chest.
He tried to clench his fist, but his palm wouldn't close completely.
He struggled to suppress the bitterness, looked at her scrutinizing and indifferent eyes, and suddenly understood the purpose of her visit today.
What she really wanted to ask was whether he was Ning Weiwei's accomplice?
He didn't even have any doubt that if he just told her that he knew, she would kill him with her own hands, no matter what the cost.
He knew too well how much of a blow and regret Xu Li's departure had brought to her.
I also can't forget Meng Sheng's collapse and despair when he learned that Xu Li died in a car accident.
So, how could he do such a thing?
He answered firmly, his voice choking with sobs. "I don't know, seriously, Shengsheng. Trust me, just this once! If I knew about this, I would never have been with her. I would have called the police and had her jailed. How could I have let her get away with it?"
As he spoke, afraid she still wouldn't believe him, he raised three fingers and swore to the heavens, "Shengsheng, I know I've lied to you many times, and you may not believe me, but I still have to say this: no matter how worthless I am, Shang Boyu would never hurt your parents, and I would never tolerate anyone else hurting your parents. Please believe me on this. If I lied about this, I, Shang Boyu, would never have a good death in this life. I really didn't expect Ning Weiwei to be so cruel..."
"I have told many lies, but I love you, it's true."
Although his voice was weak, his tone was full of confidence and determination.
The eyes staring at her were full of seriousness and solemnity.
"Shengsheng, I was wrong to cheat on you. I'm sorry for what happened to you. No matter how you treat me, I can accept any outcome. Now that I say I truly love you, you might find it ridiculous and absurd. It is indeed absurd, even I find it unbelievable... And yet I love you so much..."
He shook his head bitterly. It had probably been a long time since he had spoken so much. The more he spoke, the hoarse his voice grew. "From the first time I saw you in college, even until now, my love for you has only grown, never diminished. I've said before that you will always be number one in my heart. Even when it comes to choosing between you and my mom, my love for you far outweighs my hatred. Part of the reason is that I feel guilty, so facing all your elaborate schemes, I can't hate you at all.
During that time, I often had nightmares. I dreamed that my mother called me an ungrateful person and questioned me word by word. She had planned so much for me, but in the end, how did I treat her? I didn't know what the right choice was. This question had been unanswerable for me from the beginning.
"But I can't deny that I made a lot of wrong choices. I also know it's impossible for you to forgive me. We are not destined to be together in this life. This is my own fault. I can't blame anyone else... cough cough cough..."
His throat grew drier, and he couldn't help coughing a few times as he spoke, suppressing the severe pain in his chest.
Meng Sheng frowned. Seeing him like this, she stood up and was about to call a doctor. Don't blame her for what she did to him later, otherwise she would be unable to explain herself.
Shang Boyu quickly grabbed her hand and said, "No, no need. I'm fine. Please help me get the water."
Meng Sheng pulled back his wrist quickly, hesitated for two seconds, took the cup on the bedside table, brought it to his mouth, waited for him to finish drinking, and then returned to his seat.
She was also weighing the truthfulness of his words in her mind.
Shang Boyu is...
She suddenly didn't know how to evaluate him.
But his love is too twisted and dark, very contradictory, and a little paranoid.
Whether it was the cheating or the drugging and pretending to be a hero to save the damsel in distress, she couldn't accept it.
Of course, there is no need to worry about these things now.
"Shengsheng, where is Ning Weiwei now? Was she arrested?" Seeing her silence for so long, Shang Boyu knew she was thinking. After a long while, he finally asked her, "Why did she do this? Your mother was in a car accident... Did she do something to your mother's car?"
Meng Sheng didn't answer, but asked again, "Shang Boyu, let me ask you again, do you really not know about this?"
Shang Boyu's expression was firm. "Really? Shengsheng, trust me. I wouldn't lie to you about this. Besides... there's no need to lie to you now. I know you don't want me anymore. Besides, if I really did something to your mother, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself."
Meng Sheng chose to believe it in her heart. In order to prevent him from finding someone to investigate the matter, she thought about it and made up an excuse, "Ning Weiwei is dead. The police are secretly arresting her. The case involving her has not been fully investigated and should not be spread outside. So, you don't need to try to interfere in this matter, and I don't need your help.
Shang Boyu, as you said, no matter how wrong you are, you are still a human being, right? I believe what you said, and I just hope you will not let me down.
"Dead? She died so easily? She shouldn't have died so easily!"
After a brief moment of shock and surprise, Shang Boyu's pale and thin face showed regret and unwillingness.
Since he had been with such a vicious and cruel person for so long, and even bought her a car and a house, in the end he ended up raising an ungrateful person.
Finally, she stood up, looked at Shang Boyu and said, "From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. You can rest."
“Shengsheng!”
Shang Boyu looked at her back and couldn't help but shout, "Will you... come to see me again?"
Meng Sheng turned sideways, staring at him calmly, and said without leaving any room for doubt, "No, Shang Boyu, our fate has ended like this. This is the best ending for us."
After saying that, she didn't stay any longer and walked out.
In the outer room, Yuan Siying actually wanted to stick to the door to listen to what they were saying inside, but considering Meng Sheng's warning, she didn't dare to provoke this living devil. She could only suppress the impulse, sit obediently on the sofa, drink tea, and wait absent-mindedly.
When she saw Meng Sheng coming out, she immediately sat up, looked into the room, and saw Shang Boyu lying half-lying on the bed safe and sound, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
She withdrew her gaze and turned to Meng Sheng, "You..."
"Leave."
Meng Sheng replied calmly, and just as he took a step forward, he suddenly thought of something. He turned his head to look at her and lowered his voice, "Don't tell anyone about the text message. Some troubles can't be avoided by returning to Lan City."
After saying that, she walked straight out of the ward without any intention of staying and left the hospital.
The afternoon sun is already a bit as brutal as that of midsummer, not as gentle and comfortable as the spring sun. There are slight heat waves in the air, but it is not as unbearable as the scorching summer. Instead, it makes people feel a bit lazy and untimely.
Meng Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the blue sky in the distance. He did not feel completely relaxed after knowing that Shang Boyu did not help Ning Weiwei harm his mother.
It's just not as tense as it was when I came.
She stood there for a long time before walking towards the Mercedes and driving back to the art museum.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, she went to the hospital to visit Meng Chengli as usual, and happened to meet Fu Chen's mother walking with Miaomiao in the corridor.
Miaomiao was holding a pink bear named Leola from Jellycat in her hand.
"Aunt Meng, you're here?" When Fu Xuanmiao saw her, she immediately came over with a smile, holding her grandmother's hand and greeting her.
She also showed off the Leola pink bear in her hand, "Aunt Meng, look, this is a gift from my grandma."
Meng Sheng smiled and touched her head, looking at the woman in front of him who was wearing beige Chinese-style clothing.
Mrs. Fu is actually sixty-one or sixty-two years old this year, but she looks like she is in her fifties and her hair is almost completely white.
She greeted Fu's mother with a smile.
Mother Fu also smiled and nodded, her warm, experienced and calm eyes now filled with relief and satisfaction.
Mother Fu's voice wasn't gentle, but rather very calm. Her smiling face gave people a sense of peace. "I've heard Miaomiao mention you a lot lately. Her father is usually busy, and her grandfather and I are also busy at the research institute. Thank you so much for taking care of her during this time."
"You're so kind. To be honest, I should be the one thanking her."
Meng Sheng gently touched the little girl's head. "Because of her, my dad's hospitalization didn't feel boring. Otherwise, he would have asked to go home a long time ago."
"It's mutual. When she was playing chess and watching cartoons with your father, wasn't your father also playing with her?"
"That's what my aunt said."
The two exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and Mother Fu didn't waste her time. She smiled and said, "After Miaomiao is discharged from the hospital, you must come to our house and visit us."
"Okay, I sure will." Meng Sheng agreed with a smile.
"Then go see your father quickly. Don't keep him waiting too long." Mother Fu said, then took Miaomiao's hand and said, "Miaomiao, let's go. It's time for us to go back to the ward."
"Okay, bye, Aunt Meng." Although Miaomiao was reluctant to leave Meng Sheng, she did not act willfully or throw a tantrum. She waved to Meng Sheng and followed her grandmother back to the ward.
Meng Sheng nodded slightly, watched them enter the ward, and then walked to the ward next door.
She stayed with Meng Chengli until half past eight and told him about trying out imported equipment in a few days. Her aunt and cousin would come to accompany him then.
Of course, Meng Chengli had no objection to this matter. He told her to just go ahead and do whatever she wanted. After all, he had people around to take care of her, so she didn't need to worry.
Having said that, Meng Sheng couldn't really not be worried.
Before leaving, he gave the nurse some detailed instructions and gave him an extra bonus on the spot.
It is said that money makes the world go round. If you want anyone working hard, the only thing that matters is money.
Otherwise, just saying thank you and hard work will seem like nothing.
Meng Sheng is a diligent boss who never mistreats her subordinates or helps her work seriously.
In art museums, in addition to normal salary and year-end bonus, holiday benefits are also quite considerable.
The caregiver was quite surprised to receive the money, but was more grateful.
"Miss Meng, don't worry, I will take good care of Mr. Meng."
"Thank you very much."
Meng Sheng smiled and patted his shoulder.
Because of the medicine, Meng Chengli fell asleep twenty minutes ago.
She glanced at Meng Chengli who was already fast asleep and left the ward quietly.
As she walked towards the elevator, she also sent a few messages to her brother Meng Shixu.
Did you say that Meng Chengli's ritual implements will be treated in a few days?
Because of the time difference, Meng Shixu did not reply to her immediately, and she did not wait. When she was about to put away her phone, she accidentally saw Pei Sui's chat dialog box. She glanced at the time in the upper right corner, thought about it, and put her phone away.
