Chapter 457: It's rotten



Meng Sheng looked at Gu Ci calmly, and she curled the corners of her lips in contempt.

The words he said were also extremely impolite. "To put it bluntly, your Gu family is really unworthy of being a family of scholars. You have disgraced this four words. I am worried about your ancestors. I wonder if they can hold back their coffins after seeing what you have done."

It's full of irony.

Gu Ci's fragile and sensitive heart was pierced by her words, and her face became more and more ugly.

His chest was heaving with anger, and he yelled back, "What do you think your Meng family is? You're just pretending to be noble and pretentious. Who knows if you have..."

"Well, throwing dirty water on others has almost become a tradition in your Gu family? Why? Just because you are dirty, you can't stand others being clean?"

Meng Sheng interrupted her unexpectedly, his expression indifferent, "Pretentious and hypocritical are more suitable to describe you.

Gu Ci, do you dare to expose your true face to the public? In essence, there is no difference between you and your sister Gu Qinglian. The only difference is that you are insidious and despicable, and she is stupid and vicious.

After that, she didn't bother to waste words anymore. She raised her hand slightly and pointed at her phone. "Can we end this meaningless conversation now and get back to business? If you still feel it's not enough, I can help you contact your journalist friends for free."

Gu Ci felt a lump in her throat, unable to breathe in or out, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Even in her previous life, she had never felt as aggrieved as she did today.

She seemed to understand the feelings her sister Gu Qinglan had every time she faced Meng Sheng, as well as the frustration that the missing Ning Weiwei felt when she was made a pariah by Meng Sheng.

But to be more precise, when she returned to China in her previous life, it was very late, and she had only dealt with Meng Sheng five or six times. They had basically never had any conflicts, so their relationship could be considered harmonious.

Later, things happened all at once, and Meng Sheng committed suicide because he could not bear the huge blow.

Therefore, she actually didn't know Meng Sheng very well, and her understanding was only one-sided, what she could see with her eyes.

But it was also at that time that she realized that a living person who had become a thing of the past could never compare to a dead person who was loved but could not be loved.

She only felt unwillingness, only strong unwillingness and regret.

Fifteen minutes later, Meng Sheng walked out of the hospital. At this moment, the lights were on, and the brush of dusk was dipped in the most intense color, painting a magnificent purple and orange interweaving on the sky.

She slowly withdrew her gaze from the distance, held her phone tightly, and walked towards the parking lot.

bite!

The crisp and pleasant text message alert tone was not clear in the bustling and noisy night, but Meng Sheng clearly felt the vibration of the phone.

She lowered her eyes to look at her phone.

Gu Yuan embezzled a total of 427.19 million yuan from private schools, social science fund projects, and ancient cultural castle projects.

Meng Sheng was stunned.

Looking at those words, a sense of surprise welled up in my eyes again.

More than 400 million.

What is the concept?

How much does he embezzle every year?

What she had just said to Gu Ci was still too mild.

This is not only an insult to the words "scholarly family", their Gu family is not worthy of it at all.

With such a head of the Gu family, where can they go?

It's terrible.

Taking care of your family in this way is not only going downhill, it is completely self-destructive.

She pursed her lips and kept her composure. Although this incident was shocking, she could not act rashly without concrete evidence. Moreover, it would take some time to find out who had given money to Gu Yuan from such a large amount of embezzled funds.

Besides, this matter actually has little to do with her. To be selfish, it doesn't affect her at all.

It's just that she has an extra layer of leverage and bargaining chips over the Gu family, which makes her safe.

She calmed herself down, saved the text message as a backup, then deleted the original. She put away her phone, composed herself, and walked towards the parking lot.

Seeing the familiar car, the corners of her lips unconsciously raised, and she walked over and knocked on the window.

Seeing her through the glass window, Pei Sui immediately lowered the window and asked, "Aren't you having dinner with your dad up there?"

"No, I still want to eat the food you cook."

"Okay, I'll go back and make it for you. Get in the car first."

"Um."

When Meng Sheng got into the driver's seat, he saw that the computer screen in front of him was full of information about Huazhou Library, which looked much more detailed than what he had looked up in the afternoon.

She was soft-hearted, and he would always treat anything related to her with 100% seriousness.

She suddenly didn't want him to work so hard, so she changed her mind and said, "Forget it, I'm a little hungry now. Let's eat out tonight. Um... I'm craving seafood. How about a seafood buffet? I remember there's a seafood buffet over here on Donggui Road."

Pei Sui glanced at her and instantly understood the emotions that still lingered in her eyes. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he reached out to hold her hand, pinched her soft palm, and replied softly, "Okay."

Then he saved the contents on the laptop page, turned it off, and was about to put the computer on the back seat when Meng Sheng took it.

"I'll take it first."

Pei Sui started the car and asked, "How is it? What did Gu Ci say?"

Meng Sheng thought of Gu Ci's face, which had turned pale and then red, and smiled. "It went smoothly, but... this matter is in Gu Ci's hands, so it's always a handle. I don't trust her character."

Pei Sui nodded, he actually thought so too.

But the best way to deal with this matter right now is to contain it.

"I will check the Gu family carefully, don't worry."

"Well, I'm really not worried as long as you're here."

Pei Sui laughed and glanced at her sideways. Suddenly, he remembered something. He gripped the steering wheel, tightened and loosened it. His movements were not obvious and were quite subtle. He had rarely been so nervous in his life.

After they passed a traffic light, he asked, "How's it going? Did your dad drink the porridge and soup?"

He noticed when she came over that she was not holding the two thermoses in her hands, probably because they were left with her father.

I just don't know what Meng Chengli thinks of the porridge and chicken soup, whether he dislikes it, whether he eats it, and whether she directly reveals her identity.

Hearing this, Meng Sheng looked at him with a smile on his face, a hint of meaning and leisure.

She had originally planned to wait until dinner time or after returning home to have a proper talk with him about her father's attitude.

But thinking about it, I knew he was feeling uneasy and nervous, so I didn't keep him in suspense and replied directly, "My dad drank it and ate both the porridge and soup. He ate more than usual. The rest is left over. He can heat it up and eat it when he's hungry in the evening."

As she spoke, she suddenly laughed out loud, "When he first ate it, he said it tasted very good. He even wondered if I packed it from a restaurant outside and sold it especially for you."

Hearing this, Pei Sui finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his lips, which were pursed into a line, curled up slightly.

"Does your father know that I did it?"
