There was no caregiver assigned to the ward yet, nor were any other supplies prepared. Pei Sui's voice was so hoarse that his throat hurt whenever he spoke.
He poured four glasses of warm water, took a big gulp, considered it for a moment, and without much hesitation, told the truth about Xu Li's car accident in a concise manner.
No important points were overlooked.
They recounted everything, including Cheng Jie's arrest, Meng Sheng's experience of hearing about the case at the police station the day before yesterday, and even Ning Weiwei's previous attempt to kill Meng Sheng.
Lou Shumin had already been listening with tears streaming down her face. She covered her mouth and said, "This girl... how could this girl be so stubborn? She actually... actually kept it from us. If Ali knew, how heartbroken she would be? She's the daughter she raised with all her love..."
Xu Fengyun remained silent, his head bowed, his expression unreadable.
Xu Jinmin had a resentful look on his face. How could he not know that Sheng Sheng used to treat Ning Weiwei like a sister, and even his aunt treated Ning Weiwei like her own daughter.
Even a dog will wag its tail and smile at its owner, but what about Ning Weiwei?
She is a venomous snake, filthy and insidious.
Not only did she harm his aunt, but she also tried to harm Sheng Sheng. What a damned woman!
After a long while, Xu Fengyun finally looked up and asked, "What did the doctor say? When will Sheng Sheng wake up?"
Pei Sui pursed his lips and recounted what Yi Jun and the doctor had said yesterday afternoon and this morning, which was met with a brief silence.
Pei Sui knew their sadness and worry, but at this moment, apart from the doctor's intervention, all they could do to talk to Meng Sheng in her coma was wait.
When Meng Sheng wakes up.
Thinking of something, he couldn't help but remind him, "As for Uncle Meng, we hope you can help us out, otherwise... Uncle Meng definitely won't be able to accept it."
Xu Fengyun nodded, "I know that. You don't need to worry about Chengli. As for Shi Xu, he already called on the way here and will arrange to come back as soon as possible."
Pei Sui responded with a soft "Mm".
Xu Jinmin spoke up at the opportune moment, "What about Ning Weiwei? You and Shengsheng haven't found her whereabouts either?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Fengyun and Lou Shumin both looked at him.
Since things had come to this point, Pei Sui didn't keep it a secret any longer. "Qiming Mental Hospital, Ning Weiwei was sent there the day she sneaked into her office."
Dying is easy, but being unable to live and unable to die is the most painful and torturous way.
Xu Fengyun and the other two knew what kind of place Qiming Mental Hospital was in Beijing. Their breath caught in their throats, but none of them blamed Meng Sheng for being ruthless.
Xu Jinmin sneered, "Ning Weiwei deserves to experience this; this is her retribution! Sheng Sheng did the right thing!"
Lou Shumin chimed in, "She's done so many bad things, it would be too easy for her to just die. Ah Li and Sheng Sheng have been so good to her, but she's so heartless and ungrateful."
She was so angry that she wanted to rush to Qiming Mental Hospital, drag Ning Weiwei out, and slap her a few times to vent her anger.
Xu Fengyun suppressed his anger but became somewhat worried. "You said the police are looking for Ning Weiwei. Could this implicate Sheng Sheng herself?"
Pei Sui shook his head and told them his thoughts and plans.
After hearing this, Xu Fengyun felt a sense of admiration for Pei Sui's shrewdness, methods, and thoughtfulness.
But seeing his current listless state, he sighed and said, "You also need to take care of your health. Don't overwork yourself. Rest when you need to, and eat when you need to. Sheng Sheng needs you, so spend more time with her during this period."
"I see."
"It's almost lunchtime, let's order food to be delivered here for lunch." Xu Fengyun looked at Xu Jinmin, "Jinmin, you find a restaurant and order whatever you want."
Xu Jinmin agreed, "Okay."
He quickly composed himself and walked out of the ward.
The lunch was quite plentiful, but none of the four of them had much of an appetite. Lou Shumin put down her chopsticks after only a few bites, while Pei Sui ate a whole bowl of rice.
That night, none of them left the hospital and they spent the night in the ward.
The next morning, Xu Fengyun and his wife went to the Affiliated Hospital of Deqing University and made up an excuse that Meng Sheng had accidentally gotten caught in the rain the day before and had a fever. They said they would not come back to the hospital for the next few days, for fear of infecting him with their illness.
Meng Chengli was very worried after hearing this and was eager to make a phone call or video call, but Xu Fengyun stopped him.
“Sheng Sheng was afraid you would worry, so she asked us to keep it from you. If you call now, won't you expose me? When Sheng Sheng gets better, she will blame me. Besides, she knows you are worried, so she will pretend to be fine and won't be able to get better. She has been tired lately, and there are many things to do at the art museum. I heard that when she is not coming to your place, she doesn't go back until 11 or 12 at night and can't sleep well. It's good to let her rest at home more while she has this cold.”
Upon hearing this, Meng Chengli instantly calmed down.
When Sheng Sheng came to the hospital a couple of days ago, he noticed that she looked haggard and asked her if she was too busy, but she said no.
They always report good news and never bad.
He sighed, "Then let her rest well. Is she alright?"
"It's alright, the doctor said she needs to rest more," Lou Shumin said. "She's still too strong-willed. I scolded her this morning and watched her get her injection and take her medicine before she came over. Don't worry."
Meng Chengli was slightly relieved. "Has Asui returned? Did you say when he would be back?"
Lou Shumin subconsciously looked at Xu Fengyun.
Xu Fengyun nodded calmly, "He came back last night, saying he arrived in the middle of the night. He knew Sheng Sheng was sick, so he immediately put down his work. I think Pei Sui is quite good, and he's a good match for Sheng Sheng. You can see how much he cares about her from this..."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but recall when Shang Boyu and Shengsheng were together, it seemed to be the same.
Whether in the smallest details or in daily life, Shang Boyu is incredibly considerate.
Pooh!
Why would I think of him for no reason? It's just bad luck.
He believed in the Pei family's character and also believed that Pei Sui was not that kind of person.
Meng Chengli snorted lightly, "Do you think I don't know?"
Xu Fengyun glanced at him sideways, "I wonder who it was that was so vehemently opposed before."
Lou Shumin was speechless. The two of them were sixty years old, yet they were still arguing and bickering all the time. It was unbecoming.
She didn't even bother to look, and turned to call the nanny, asking her to prepare extra food for lunch so that she and Xu Fengyun could eat with Meng Chengli.
After making the call, she felt a little melancholy and worried. If Sheng Sheng was only unconscious for a few days, it would be easy to fool Cheng Li. A cold would be a good excuse. But what if Sheng Sheng was unconscious for half a month or a month?
After Chengli discovered it...
Ptooey! Ptooey!
What is she thinking?!
Such an unlucky thing could never happen. Sheng Sheng will wake up tomorrow... oh no, today. She definitely will.
