When Meng Sheng woke up, the video of Gu Qinglian causing trouble at the art museum and confronting Meng Sheng had already caused a huge uproar online.
This time, unlike last time when we followed the rules and waited for the popularity to rise slowly, this time it was a bombshell, and the popularity instantly rose to eighth place on the trending list, with several big and small influencers also reposting it.
In less than two hours, it became known to everyone.
Who is the angrier?
Of course, it's the Gu family.
They're furious; this year has been incredibly unlucky for the Gu family.
All the bad luck was caused by Meng Sheng. That jinx Meng Sheng deserves to die!
This person is simply the nemesis of the Gu family.
Gu Qinglian has been detained for half a month, and the police station has not given any leeway, refusing to grant her bail or reduce her sentence.
The lawyers sent by the Gu family tried everything, even citing several legal provisions, but the police remained unmoved.
Finally, Chen Ye, the captain of the criminal investigation branch next door, stepped forward and coldly and decisively rejected the Gu family's request to bail Gu Qinglian out. He said that if they continued to pester them, he would issue a notice to the Gu family in his capacity as a police officer.
If this notice gets out, the impact on the Gu family will likely be even greater.
How dare the Gu family cause trouble again?
After all, they even called the bureau chief and the department head, yet they still couldn't get this small matter done.
It's easy to imagine that Gu Qinglian's detention was definitely orchestrated by someone who had specifically contacted her beforehand.
She has to stay in jail for a full two weeks before she can be released, and that's only if Gu Qinglian behaves herself. Otherwise, they might extend the time, and who knows what might happen.
As for who made the contact...
There's no need to check that.
Gu Qinglian is targeting Meng Sheng, and there are only two families that can target the Gu family on Meng Sheng's behalf.
One is the Pei family, and the other is the Xu family.
Although Pei Sui, the second young master of the Pei family, does not manage all of the family's companies and businesses, he still holds a significant position. Moreover, as a lawyer over the years, he has built a considerable network of connections.
Giving him face is a piece of cake.
As for the Xu family, needless to say, they are extremely protective of their own. Given the Xu family's status and position, this is nothing more than a phone call.
It's two against one. No matter how powerful the Gu family is, they can't beat these two families!
The Gu family actually harbored deep resentment towards the Pei family, especially towards Pei Sui.
Because of the other party's repeated actions that disregarded face and relationships, they no longer dared to incur the hatred of the Pei family.
Even though I wasn't very happy or willing, I still came to the Pei family this morning to mourn Cui Xueheng.
Just before Gu Ci returned to Miting Courtyard with an umbrella, she had seen the Gu family off. But no one expected that not long after she returned, the video that they had spent a lot of money to remove would reappear.
Gu Ci was so angry about Meng Sheng's words that she was completely unable to sleep.
She tossed and turned in bed, her eyes filled with Meng Sheng's face that filled her with rage and hatred, and her light, indifferent tone when she mocked others.
She couldn't vent the anger in her heart no matter what, and after being angry for a long time, she would feel a faint, subtle pain in her heart.
After enduring the pain for a while, I finally decided to take two kinds of medicine to relieve it.
Just as the two pills took effect and suppressed the discomfort in my heart, my cell phone, which I had casually placed on the bed, suddenly rang.
It was my mother, Liu Lingyi, calling.
She paused for a second, then answered the phone, "Hello, Mom."
The words had barely left her lips when Liu Lingyi's impotent and furious shouts came through the receiver: "That bitch Meng Sheng deserves to die! How dare she? Huh? How dare she provoke us again and again? I'm so angry!"
Gu Ci's eardrums almost exploded. She instinctively moved her phone away, but she still heard Liu Lingyi's words clearly.
One can even imagine Liu Lingyi at home, furious and smashing things.
She paused for a moment, and then her heart skipped a beat.
Liu Lingyi's cursing continued, "Is Pei Sui blind to Meng Sheng, a filthy, despicable, shameless, and vile woman? Why would he fall for a divorced slut like her? He'd rather not marry you than be with Meng Sheng. Doesn't the Pei family fear being ruined by this cursed nemesis? Look, she's not even married yet, and she's already cursed her future mother-in-law to death."
Hearing Liu Lingyi's incessant cursing, Gu Ci frowned and finally managed to find a gap to ask, "Mom, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
On the other end, Liu Lingyi took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "That shameless bastard Meng Sheng has put that video online again. Now we can't take it down, and the hype can't be suppressed. The internet is full of people cursing you and your sister."
They have once again completely disgraced the Gu family.
Gu Yuan had just pointed his finger at her and lashed out, blaming her for not teaching her daughter well, causing the family to lose face time and time again, and for being so restless.
He no longer resembles the loving father he once was.
But Liu Lingyi was no pushover either. Ever since she discovered Gu Yuan's infidelity, the respectful relationship between the couple had been completely shattered. She started stabbing him in the back with every word and wouldn't let go of the fact that he had cheated.
The couple had argued many times, and Gu Yuan had even mentioned divorce, but how could Liu Lingyi possibly agree to that?
If you agree, won't that benefit him and that little bitch?
She actually lacks nothing, and she'd rather die as the wife of the Gu family, so no one can take advantage of her.
Want a divorce?
No way.
Later, Gu Yuan probably realized what kind of impact the divorce would have on him and the company, so he stopped mentioning it. However, they remained separated, and he rarely went home, spending most of his time living outside.
As for the mistress, he had already paid her off with some money. After all, she had damaged his reputation and the company's interests, so he couldn't keep her around any longer.
Compared to enormous profits, these petty romantic feelings are insignificant.
For him, there are plenty of women, especially young and beautiful ones. He's rich and never lacks women; it's just a matter of novelty.
Gu Ci was completely stunned by Liu Lingyi's words.
She suddenly remembered what Meng Sheng had said in the courtyard earlier, and her whole body froze.
Meng Sheng actually... did it.
she……
she!
This is outrageous!
Gu Ci suddenly felt that she had wasted her time taking those two pills, and now her heart started to ache again.
He clutched his chest in pain, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
