"Well, I explained it when I opened the thermos."
Meng Sheng felt that the reason her father's attitude changed so quickly was most likely because he saw the video on her phone that day of Pei Sui holding her skiing.
She didn't know what kind of inspiration and feelings the video gave to her father, but she understood that no matter his previous opposition or current agreement, he was considering her future.
I don't want her to be wronged or hurt, I just want her to be happy.
Parents who love their children have long-term plans.
"My dad... doesn't object anymore."
These simple words stirred Pei Sui's usually calm and peaceful heart. He turned his head to look at Meng Sheng and asked, "You don't object anymore?"
"Um."
What do the three words "no objection" mean? It reflects Meng Chengli's letting go as a father, but more importantly, it reflects expectations and hopes.
Pei Sui felt that this matter was indeed not suitable to be discussed while driving. He calmed down for a long time before he suddenly realized that the gap that he regarded as the biggest was actually crossed so easily.
But just because he crossed the line, it didn't mean that Meng Chengli truly recognized him.
He believed that the biggest reason for Meng Chengli's compromise was Meng Sheng's choice.
Therefore, he still needs to eliminate the seemingly transparent and shallow barrier in the middle, and it depends on how he does it.
However, this is already very good. At least he doesn't have to go back to the starting line. The distance has been shortened by two-thirds. The remaining one-third depends on his efforts.
More than ten minutes later, the car arrived at the seafood buffet restaurant that Meng Sheng mentioned.
Meng Sheng is a seafood lover. After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill here, they walked along the road to the pedestrian street, where they strolled around and digested their food.
By the time we returned to the Left Bank Courtyard, it was almost ten o'clock.
Meng Sheng came out of the shower and saw that the study door was open. She went to the kitchen to drink a cup of hot bird's nest and came back. She saw him rubbing against her feet and standing up from time to time to pick at her cheese.
These short legs.
It looks funny and cute.
She bent down, picked up the little guy, stroked his jaw, and joked, "Look how stingy your dad is. When he bought you, he didn't even bother to buy you longer legs. Is he reluctant to spend the money?"
"Meow~"
Sisi didn't understand why his mother was complaining about his short legs. He lay in his mother's arms, called out softly, and raised his little head to rub her face.
Meng Sheng kissed its furry head, carried it and went to the study to find its "father".
"Are you not done yet?" Meng Sheng walked up to him. His laptop contained files and materials needed for the court session.
The desk is not big, and she didn't spend much time working at home before.
Now that Pei Sui has spread out all the information, it seems a bit insufficient.
The desk in Pei Sui's study is quite large, more than enough for two people to sit on it and work, but Pei Sui has a lot of information and files, as well as many books on law, psychology, etc.
"Well, it's almost done. I'll go through all the information and evidence first, in case I miss anything."
Pei Sui looked up at her, and the tip of his nose was filled with the unique fragrance of her bath.
He glanced at Sisi in her arms and asked, "I'll have the driver take you back to Chengbei tomorrow morning, and then I'll pick you up in the afternoon, okay?"
He has court tomorrow morning and really can't spare the time to accompany her back to the north of the city.
Meng Sheng called Qiao Na in the afternoon and asked her and Minister Zhou to be fully responsible for discussing cooperation with the artist teacher tomorrow.
The work at the art museum is certainly important, but she really can't completely let go of Gu Ci.
Gu Ci, who appears to be bright, gentle and pure on the surface, is actually the most despicable and the most ruthless. She must go back to the north of the city to say hello to her uncle Xu Fengyun and cousin Xu Jinmin, and then explain the whole matter to them.
Otherwise, if the Xu family suffers, they won’t know who is targeting them, and then she will be a real sinner.
"It's okay, I can just drive back by myself tomorrow morning."
While shopping tonight, she bought a lot of things to take to Xu's house tomorrow. She hadn't been home for so long, she couldn't go back empty-handed.
She remembered and said, "I may have to go back to the Meng residence this afternoon to bring some clothes and books for my dad. I may not be back until the morning of the day after tomorrow."
Seeing that she didn't respond, Pei Sui didn't hesitate and decisively changed his strategy. "Regarding the piece of land for Huazhou Library, I found out some hidden facts this afternoon. It's related to several political figures with deep roots. If they and the Gu family are involved in this matter, it may involve corruption. I need to talk to your uncle in detail and discuss a response plan. It's better to be safe than sorry."
Meng Sheng suddenly thought of the text message today reminding her of Gu Yuan’s corruption in previous major projects, and her heart skipped a beat.
The Huazhou Library project is no small undertaking, with the initial investment alone amounting to 10 billion.
Pei Sui's words made sense.
"Okay, then you'll go there tomorrow afternoon?"
"Well, I'll call you tomorrow when I'm done, around three in the afternoon, when I get to the north of the city."
He didn't do this just to scare her. Although what he found in the afternoon was just a clue and not much verification, he should still be on guard.
After all, this project involves a lot of things, and if they are not careful, the Xu family will be involved.
Secondly, it was his selfish motive. He had already succeeded almost to the end with Meng Sheng's father. After sending meals to Meng Chengli for a few more days, he would prepare to bring gifts and visit him in the hospital formally as Meng Sheng's boyfriend.
Tomorrow would also be an opportunity to meet her uncle.
Meng Sheng agreed, "Okay."
Pei Sui was busy for almost another hour. At first, Meng Sheng could sit on the lazy tatami sofa in the study and play with Sisi while accompanying him, but after sitting for half an hour, she felt bored and a little sleepy, so she simply carried Sisi back to the room.
When Pei Sui finished her work and returned to her room, Meng Sheng had already fallen asleep, and Sisi was sleeping next to her pillow in a well-behaved posture.
He curled his lips, went to the cloakroom to get some clothes, and went straight into the bathroom. After taking a shower and drying his hair, he turned off the lights in the room, opened the air-conditioning quilt, lay down in it, and pulled the person into his arms.
Meng Sheng was sleeping soundly, and subconsciously smelled the soothing cedar scent on him. She turned over cooperatively, put her arms around his waist, and nestled in his arms.
Pei Sui bent down and kissed the top of her head, then looked up and saw Sisi moving over with a "gurgling" sound, trying to squeeze in between them.
He rudely pushed its head away with his hand and scolded it in a low voice, "You can't squeeze in, don't force it, just sleep next to me, or I'll throw you out."
Si Si: "..."
Meow--
Being abandoned by my father.
It meowed softly again to show its protest, and wanted to squeeze in and sleep next to its mother.
But it was ruthlessly pushed away by its father, who threatened it again.
Then it accepted its fate, turned over, and slept on Meng Sheng's pillow, next to the back of her head.
