It was almost noon when Meng Sheng returned to the art museum. He didn't even have time to eat lunch. He entered the office and immediately opened the Starrism official website.
The owner of this pen is Xue Xinyue, a socialite and internet celebrity.
But more than three months ago, he died at home from a stab wound in the abdomen. The news was all over the news, and two months ago, the police caught the "murderer."
It was Xue Xinyue’s boyfriend He Xiang.
He Xian is a famous playboy in the Beijing circle. Rather than saying that the two of them are dating, it would be more accurate to say that Xue Xinyue is his canary.
The chain of evidence in this case was complete. After he was arrested, it didn’t take long to close the case, which was then transferred to the procuratorate and the court.
Pei Sui is now his defense lawyer.
Next week will be the trial session for this case.
Pei Sui now really needs this strong evidence to prove that the chain of evidence is problematic, and there is a high possibility that there was a third person at the scene at that time.
Just as Meng Sheng was about to get up and go out, a text message alert sounded on his phone: [Pei Sui is currently in the Beijing Men's Prison. Don't worry about looking for him. Go to Suixing Law Firm at 4pm.]
My originally anxious and restless heart miraculously calmed down after seeing the content of this text message.
She stared at the line of text in a daze, her thoughts a little scattered.
The person who sends the text message not only knows everything, but can also predict the future.
It's incredible.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, after explaining a few work matters to Joanna, she took her bag and car keys, left the art gallery, and drove to Suixing Law Firm again.
The person who greeted her was still the same receptionist who worked there in the morning.
The receptionist had an impression of her and thought she had already made up her mind, so she smiled and asked, "Hello, we actually have many excellent law firms..."
Meng Sheng smiled, "Thank you, I still want to find Lawyer Pei, is he in the law firm now?"
The receptionist was in a dilemma. "Lawyer Pei is out on a business trip. His schedule is really full. There's nothing we can do..."
As she spoke, she paused, looked towards the door, and called out, "Pei Lu."
Meng Sheng subconsciously followed her gaze.
What caught my eye was a tall and straight figure, wearing a gray-blue suit, with a well-proportioned body, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a pair of deep and dark peach blossom eyes, a high nose bridge, and clear and hard facial contours, making him look extraordinarily handsome.
It looks like a cold snow lotus on the steep cliff of an icy peak.
Noble and elegant, yet not to be desecrated.
This lawyer looks even more handsome than the photo in the encyclopedia, but why does he seem a bit... difficult to deal with?
Even when walking towards me, there is a sense of oppression...keeping away strangers.
The man nodded lightly, his clear and cold eyes swept across her face lightly, without stopping, he withdrew his gaze and left.
Meng Sheng came back to his senses and quickly called out, "Lawyer Pei."
Pei Sui paused, turned around and looked at her, his eyes were calm and without any emotion.
Seeing this, the receptionist wanted to explain, but before she could open her mouth, Meng Sheng had already walked towards Pei Sui and stopped half a meter away from him.
His bright and clear eyes looked at her, and his red lips slightly opened, "I have something to give to Lawyer Pei. It's about Xue Xinyue."
Her voice was not loud, but loud enough for him to hear.
Pei Sui's eyes were stern, with sharp ripples, and his voice was low and cold, with a hint of aggression in his magnetism, "Who are you to her?"
Meng Sheng said truthfully, "I don't know her, but I got this thing by accident, and I thought it might be helpful to Lawyer Pei."
Pei Sui stared at her beautiful yet extremely aggressive face, examining the truth in her words, paused for a few seconds, and knew that this was not the place to talk.
He said calmly, "Come up with me."
Meng Sheng smiled, turned around and nodded politely to the front desk clerk in thanks, then followed Pei Sui into the elevator.
The entire law firm is divided into five floors, and Pei Sui's office is obviously on the top floor.
Meng Sheng saw the words "Pei Sui" written on the nameplate at the door of his office, and the nameplate below it read "Chief Lawyer's Office".
Pushing the door open and walking in, Pei Sui said the word "sit" concisely.
The office is spacious and bright, with a cool style that is both grand and rigorous.
Meng Sheng didn't look at him for too long. He withdrew his gaze and sat down. Then an assistant brought in tea.
She just put it to her lips and took a sip, the rich aroma of tea spread in her mouth. In her peripheral vision, Pei Sui unbuttoned his suit jacket with one hand, and sat down to her right with his slender fingers casually resting on his legs.
He looked straight at her and said in a low voice, "What's your name?"
“Mengsheng, Meng’s Meng, Sheng’s Sheng.”
Meng Sheng didn't say much. After introducing himself, he put down the teacup and didn't keep anyone in suspense. He took the pen out of his bag.
"This is the limited edition fountain pen that Starrism launched for Valentine's Day this year. I bought it from a pawn shop this morning."
Pei Sui glanced at the pen with a mysterious expression that made it impossible to tell what emotion he had. He did not say anything, just quietly waiting for her next words.
"When I checked Starrism's official website, it showed that the owner of this pen was Xue Xinyue, and the purchase time was February 14 this year, Valentine's Day." Meng Sheng continued, "The boss said that he received the pen half a month ago and did not sign a purchase contract."
Hearing this, Pei Sui's eyes flashed, as if he thought of something. He frowned slightly, took out a tissue and picked up a pen to ponder for a while, then slowly raised his eyes to look at the calm woman in front of him.
His voice became even colder. "Since it is evidence related to the murder case, why didn't Ms. Meng hand it over to the police?"
"The case has been closed and transferred to the court." Meng Sheng smiled slowly and said, "Of course, this is a stepping stone. I have a divorce case and I would like to ask Lawyer Pei to represent me."
Pei Sui rubbed it gently with his fingertips, and his eyes, glancing at the pen, slowly moved to her face.
The four looked at each other, and in the huge office one could hear a pin drop.
Meng Sheng didn't dodge at all and looked at him quietly.
Pei Sui pondered for a while, put down his pen, and asked, "Why do you want a divorce?"
"The man cheated on her."
Pei Sui was not surprised. He changed his sitting posture. The sharpness in his contemplation just now disappeared. He leaned back in the chair with his legs crossed. "Do you have a child?"
"No."
In the past two years, his mother Yu Qionghua has made it clear several times that they should hurry up and have a child, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl.
Shang Boyu's eldest and second brothers both have children, but they are very hostile to Yu Qionghua, so she is eager to hold her own grandson.
But Meng Sheng was not in a hurry. Besides, her mother died in a car accident last year and left the Yisheng Art Museum to her to manage. She really couldn't spare the energy to have a baby.
Now that I think about it, it’s a blessing that we don’t have children, otherwise if they divorced, the children would be the ones who suffer.
"How long have you been married?"
"Three years."
"How is your relationship?" Pei Sui said, "Is your sex life harmonious?"
