Meng Sheng was actually quite surprised. Not only were they on the same floor, but they were actually sitting next to each other.
She frowned. One of them didn't know what to say, and the other didn't want to say it. She didn't think too much about it. She simply nodded to them, closed the door, and without saying anything, took the lead and walked towards the elevator.
As soon as she left, Pei Sui followed her without even saying hello to Gu Ci.
The smile on Gu Ci's face froze instantly. At this moment, she felt as if her face was not only thrown to the ground by them, but also stepped on back and forth madly.
In just a moment, she felt a sharp pain on her face, a burning pain.
Now she looked like she was about to laugh but not smile, and she felt extremely embarrassed.
She didn't expect Meng Sheng to be so disrespectful and not even pretend. Her cooperation with the art museum has not yet ended.
She thought that Meng Sheng would still maintain superficial friendship with her as before, at least... there would be greetings.
However, from this morning till now, she has not given me any face at all.
Ever since she blocked the knife for Pei Yu, Pei Sui has become more distant and indifferent to her.
Then on the day when the old lady of the Pei family held her birthday banquet...
And today was even worse. We met and we didn't even say a few words.
Although the plan failed, she felt that she had done it perfectly, and with her mother and sister supporting her, she was completely a victim. Pei Sui's attitude towards her should be compassionate, not so cold.
The indifference made her feel uneasy and even suffocated, as if something was slipping away in large quantities.
Is it because of Meng Sheng?
Or did Meng Sheng say something to him?
Her mentality had originally shown signs of collapsing under the strange looks and probing comments of many people, but now it was like an overwhelming force.
It made her heart ache.
The dinner went smoothly. Half of the guests left after the meal. The remaining half stayed in the hotel. They were guests who lived far away, out of town or abroad and it was inconvenient for them to travel back and forth, as well as guests who were free to attend the thank-you banquet tomorrow.
This hotel also has a large sky garden. Meng Sheng had a full meal in the evening, so he went there for a walk and to help digest his food.
But just when he was halfway through his stroll, he was pulled downstairs by several sisters from the Fang family.
The hotel has rooms starting from the 13th floor. Below the 13th floor there are buffet restaurants, various indoor sports activities, chess and card entertainment rooms and health clubs. There is also a large bar on the 8th floor. It can be said that the facilities of this hotel are very complete, taking all aspects into consideration and satisfying the vast majority of consumers...that is, the needs and hobbies of those young men and women, as well as business people.
Meng Sheng knew that they had organized a party in the bar tonight. All the participants were young people, not hundreds, but at least thirty or forty. You can imagine how lively it was.
She didn't want to join in, but was pulled down by them.
When you enter, the DJ music inside is like a synthesizer pad compressed by the side chain, rising and falling with each sound of the bass drum "breathing", creating a charming dynamic sense of space.
The air is filled with the richness of whiskey, the malty aroma of beer and the bustling crowd, and the warmth envelops everyone in it.
When Meng Sheng saw this scene, he was dazzled for a moment. He didn't know whether it was because of the many people inside or the colorful lights.
When she came to her senses, she realized that she had underestimated the situation. Looking around, there were at least fifty or sixty people in the room.
The huge venue seemed small and cramped.
"Shengsheng, come here quickly."
Fang Zhiman came over immediately when she saw her, took her wrist, and walked towards the first booth. "You've come just in time. We were just about to play a game."
There were more than a dozen people in this booth, some of them were today's bridesmaids and groomsmen, some sisters from the Fang family, and some young men whom she could name.
After saying hello, someone told her the rules of the card game.
Meng Sheng had never played this kind of card game before, so he only had a vague understanding of it when he heard it, but after playing it for half a round, he finally understood it.
Even though she understood the rules beforehand, she was a novice and not skilled enough, so she lost several games and had to drink two glasses of wine.
By the third round, Meng Sheng didn't know if she was too sensitive or for some other reason, but amidst the deafening rhythm of the music, she heard someone calling "Pei Sui". Almost subconsciously, she paused eating the fruit and turned her head to look towards the door.
As expected, there was indeed a tall and familiar figure, passing through the crowd and clearly reflected in her calm and gentle almond eyes.
A man in casual clothes held a wine glass in one hand and put his arm around his shoulder with the other, and pulled him towards another booth with great enthusiasm and familiarity.
Soon, he disappeared from her sight.
"Meng Sheng, it's your turn."
Suddenly someone called her.
Meng Sheng came back to his senses and withdrew his gaze. He naturally reached out and drew a card on the table. He sighed easily and curled his red lips, "Flush. Finally, I won a hand."
"Wow, it's a flush, amazing!"
"Sure, it's only been a few hands and the flush has come out."
"That's right, smart people are different."
The people around joined in the jokes, and the atmosphere never cooled down. After watching them finish the drinks in their glasses, they quickly started the next round.
After playing the same game for almost two hours, someone suggested changing games.
This game is much more complicated than the card game just now. You have to form teams, with five people in a group. If there are not enough people, they will call a few more.
Meng Sheng had already drunk several glasses of wine. Although she was not very drunk and was conscious, her head still felt a little heavy, so she didn't want to participate in this game.
Mainly because she was tired today. She had been dealing with interpersonal relationships all day and had been playing games for so long that she just wanted to go back and lie down.
But before she could say goodbye, the cell phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated briefly.
The "ding" sound was drowned out by the rhythmic music and the cheers that came from time to time.
Summer clothes are thin, and Meng Sheng felt the vibration. He paused as he was about to stand up, but without hesitation, he took out his mobile phone naturally.
Two seconds after the screen lit up, several lines of clear words jumped into her eyes along with the colorful light and shadow reflected from the ceiling.
[Be careful! Don't drink the penalty drink that Ye Shuqiao handed you! She's teamed up with Gu Ci and drugged that drink. She's trying to get another man to discredit you. Tomorrow, they'll have someone call you to your room and expose this to the world, ruining your reputation and making it impossible for you to be with Pei Sui.]
