Chapter 466: Cowardly



Meng Chengli snorted after reading the message, but a smile was on his face. "She's just worrying for no reason. Is she afraid that I'll embarrass you? She doesn't know how much we enjoyed chatting. Come on, take a picture and show it to her."

Pei Sui nodded, turned on the camera, and included both himself and Meng Chengli in the picture, freezing the scene in the clear and gentle afternoon sunlight.

Meng Sheng was taking a lunch break, but once he had some free time, his worries grew even more intense. He couldn't help but send Pei Sui a few messages to ask about the situation.

So when she saw the photo sent by Pei Sui, she was stunned.

This harmonious scene... is truly amazing.

She really wanted to ask his father if he was kidnapped by Pei Sui. If he was kidnapped, just blink.

She decisively typed a question mark.

Pei Sui quickly replied: [I'm taking my father-in-law out to sunbathe and supplement his calcium. It's very pleasant and harmonious. My father-in-law's lectures are very lively and I've learned a lot.]

Meng Sheng: “…”

God, I learned a lot.

He took her father down so quickly, and this is still a history lesson?

She was speechless for a long while: [You got it so quickly? ]

Pei Sui: [Yes, you're right, my father-in-law is indeed easy to talk to.]

Meng Sheng: “…”

The silence was deafening.

She didn't know what to say.

Her father actually allowed him to push his baby out for a walk, so their relationship must be extremely good.

If I remember correctly, it wasn't a few days or months, but just a few hours.

Calculating the time he spent there, it was less than two hours.

This speed is like a rocket.

She was filled with excitement and disbelief for a long time before she typed again: [You're great, I give you a thumbs up.]

Pei Sui couldn't help laughing when he saw this. He put away his phone and continued to listen to his father-in-law talk about the political development, expansion and decline of ancient Greece.

He really felt like he had received two top-notch history classes.

In the distance, Fu Chen, wearing a white coat, was walking through the corridor of the courtyard with two documents in his hands. Inadvertently, he saw Meng Chengli basking in the sun in the courtyard.

He was stunned for a moment, stopped walking, and just as a hint of surprise appeared on his face, he noticed the person squatting next to the wheelchair.

The sun today was not too strong or dazzling, but Fu Chen still felt it was a bit dazzling when he saw them talking harmoniously and Meng Chengli's face smiling brightly as he talked freely.

It hurt his eyes.

Her lips were pressed into a straight line, and she couldn't find a suitable adjective to describe her mood at the moment. It felt complicated, melancholy, and solemn.

He knew that Meng Sheng and Pei Sui had reconciled, but he didn't expect Meng Chengli to forgive Pei Sui so quickly and that they got along so harmoniously.

Could it be that something happened here that he didn't know about?

Fu Chen narrowed his eyes and slowly tightened his grip on the information.

Whenever he feels that his dream is within reach, reality always gives him a loud slap in the face, telling him how far away he is from his heart.

It was within his reach, but it was just an illusion.

He pulled the corners of his lips in self-mockery, and after a long while, his toes that were heading towards the yard finally turned in another direction. He retracted his gaze and started walking into the building.

Pei Sui only took Meng Chengli for a walk outside for about twenty minutes, then went upstairs to see him drink the medicine. He originally wanted to peel a pear for him to eat, but Meng Chengli waved his hand to refuse.

"Don't you have something to do at three o'clock? Hurry up and get busy. It's already nine minutes past two. It will take at least half an hour to drive there from here."

Pei Sui didn't force it and nodded, "Okay, then you can get some sleep. I'll probably have to work overtime tonight, so I'll come pick Shengsheng up around eight or nine."

"Well, okay, go ahead and drive safely."

Pei Sui took the thermos bucket handed to him by the nurse, said "thank you" to him, turned around and left the hospital.

In the afternoon, Meng Sheng had just returned to the art museum after meeting a client. He had been walking around the collection department for less than five minutes when Qiao Na came over and said that a very beautiful girl was looking for her.

Meng Sheng was stunned, confused, "Girl?"

Still a very beautiful girl.

Qiao Na nodded, a bit speechless. "She drove a very flashy red Ferrari sports car. She was very flamboyant. The security guard who tried to stop her at the door was scolded by her. I had no choice but to go down to take a look. He said her last name was Ye."

The lady probably knew that she was the director's assistant, and her attitude was much better than her previous attitude towards the security guard.

Meng Sheng frowned.

Last name Ye?

She quickly searched in her mind and found that there was only one person who could match the information Joanna said.

Ye Shuqiao.

But...what is she doing here?!

To be honest, she didn't want to see Ye Shuqiao and Gu Ci at all. Just looking at these two people was unlucky.

Unexpectedly, Ye Shuqiao came here on his own.

An indescribable expression appeared on her face. She frowned and thought deeply for a while before she said, "Take her to my office. I'll be there as soon as I'm done here."

"yes."

After Joanna left, she looked through the collection catalog again, and the director of the collection department introduced each painting to her accordingly.

These famous paintings were arranged to be delivered this afternoon.

After she had finished looking at all 19 paintings and understood their meaning, she gave the minister a few words before going upstairs.

Ye Shuqiao had been waiting upstairs for more than ten minutes and had already finished half of her coffee. She was almost out of patience as Meng Sheng still didn't show up.

She felt that Meng Sheng was deliberately trying to intimidate her and made her wait. When she thought of this, she was furious, but she could do nothing about it and could only feel a little frustrated.

She suppressed her anger and glared at Qiao Na who was waiting with her. "When will Meng Sheng come? I've been waiting for almost twenty minutes."

Qiao Na nodded calmly and said, "The director is busy with other work. I don't know when it will be finished. I hope Miss Ye will be patient and wait."

Ye Shuqiao was impatient to hear her say this because she had said the same thing ten minutes ago.

Now another ten minutes have passed, and there is still no sign of Meng Sheng.

She instantly became furious. "Stop playing the blame game! As her assistant, what's the point of you not knowing this and that? She hired such low-quality people for such a large art museum. She just hired any random person?!"

Qiao Na was really calm about Ye Shuqiao's sarcasm and contempt.

In her eyes, Ye Shuqiao was like a stingy person with feathers standing on end, and she didn't need to be treated as a human being.

The greatest harm in the world is not stabbing or backstabbing, but cold violence.
