It's unclear how many people saw this report, but everyone in the Pei family saw it, including the Cui family, including the old lady.
Meng Sheng didn't know the complex feelings of Cui Yuanshan and her sisters, but she saw with her own eyes the old lady's furrowed brows and slightly solemn expression, yet she said nothing.
Pei Rong and Nie Fang, as elders, couldn't say much about Gu Ci's behavior, but the three sisters, Shi Yunge, Shi Yuntan, and Pei Yao, spoke without any restraint.
Shi Yuntan spoke first to the old lady, "Grandma, please don't let someone like Gu Ci live in the house anymore. She's disgusting! She actually cheated on her husband!"
Shi Yunge also looked disgusted, "That's right, it feels like she's polluted the air in the house, I feel suffocated."
Pei Yao snorted, "I used to like her so much, and now she's so shameless. Not only did she make my sister-in-law break up with my second brother, but she also went and angered her father. When did she become like this?"
It's no wonder they were angry and uncomfortable; it's just that Gu Ci's image used to be too good.
Who would have thought that Gu Ci's true colors were so disgusting?
The three sisters complained to each other, while the elders, though silent, did not look too pleased.
The main reason is that Gu Ci used such despicable means to target their own juniors, which they found neither honorable nor respectable; in fact, they felt their dignity had been trampled upon.
After they had finished complaining and all the food had been served, the old lady finally spoke up, "Alright, everyone, let's eat first."
These days, Gu Ci has been behaving herself at the Pei family's house and seems harmless, but the old lady knows that she used Cui Xueheng before and is not as innocent and kind as she appears.
He is an expert at sowing discord and using others to do his dirty work.
How deep his cunning is!
Now that she's openly trying to take Ah Sui away, I guess she hasn't given up yet. She really shouldn't be living in the Pei family anymore, and it's time for her to realize the truth.
After the meal, Pei Yu and Pei Sui, along with their cousin from their uncle's family, went to help with the remaining matters at the funeral.
Meng Sheng didn't stay in Mi Ting Courtyard for too long. About an hour later, after Nie Fang and Pei Rong returned to the west courtyard of the three-section courtyard, she also got up to say goodbye and returned to Zhi Shui Residence.
I didn't plan to go back to Chengnan today. Tomorrow morning, I need to see Cui Xueheng off on her final journey.
Even Cen Jin will come then.
Pei Sui had prepared clothes for her. She had just come out after taking a shower when there was a knock on the door. She went to open the door and found the maid in charge of all the affairs of Zhishui Residence.
She nodded to Meng Sheng, "Miss Meng, Miss Gu outside says she wants to see you."
Miss Gu?
Gu Ci?
Meng Sheng forced a smile. "Oh, no, I'm busy."
The servant was not surprised. She turned around and went out to talk to Gu Ci outside the Zhishui Residence, relaying Meng Sheng's words verbatim.
Even with a mask on, you could tell how bad Gu Ci's complexion was.
"I have something I want to talk to Miss Meng about. Is she... really not going to see me?"
The maid replied helplessly, "Yes, Miss Meng did say that."
Gu Ci stared at the three characters "Zhi Shui Ju" carved in modern cursive script at the entrance of the courtyard, her hands clenched into fists.
Previously... she could freely enter and leave this courtyard.
The servants at Zhishui Residence treated her with the same courtesy and respect as the mistress of the house, but now, if she wanted to go in, she had to ask Meng Sheng's permission first.
If Meng Sheng doesn't let her in, then she can't go in.
Frustrated.
Awkward!
Filled with resentment, she returned to her room and dialed Meng Sheng's number on her phone. Unfortunately, Meng Sheng had blocked her number and WeChat account after beating her up.
I still can't get through.
She couldn't possibly borrow someone else's phone to call Meng Sheng now; the entire courtyard belonged to the old lady.
After thinking it over for a while, she took out another phone that was usually switched off, gritted her teeth, turned it on, and dialed Meng Sheng's number.
When Meng Sheng received the call from this unfamiliar number, she was a little stunned. Her first impression was that the number looked familiar.
It looks familiar.
Her memory has always been good.
Just as the phone was about to stop ringing, I answered, "Hello?"
"Meng Sheng, take the video down from the internet!" A familiar female voice rang out from the other end of the phone, filled with restrained anger and a command.
Gu Ci!
Meng Sheng paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered, "Oh, no wonder it looks so familiar. Isn't this the number Gu Ci sent to Ning Weiwei before?"
Oh, so he called her using that mysterious number.
This is very strange. The number that sent her the text message cannot be used to send text messages or make phone calls. So what is the deal with Gu Ci's number?
Similarly, no clues could be found, but Gu Ci could be used to send text messages and make phone calls.
Why would she have such a number?
Meng Sheng frowned, a hint of suspicion in his eyes, but his words were unusually calm and cold: "Gu Ci, are you ordering me around?"
"After all this time, you still haven't recognized your place. Who do you think you are?! You dare to order me around?"
Gu Ci knew, of course, that Meng Sheng would never listen to her, but just hearing her voice made her unable to control her anger. Just as her mother, Liu Lingyi, had said, Meng Sheng was definitely a jinx.
Not only will it bring misfortune to the Gu family, but it will also bring misfortune to the Pei family.
Cui Xueheng was cursed to death!
Only Pei Sui treated her like a treasure!
She knew Meng Sheng's temperament very well; she wouldn't listen to her without a bargaining chip.
She suppressed her anger and asked, "Then how can you get that video taken down?"
The Gu family could actually remove the trending topic, but it would take a lot of time and money.
Rather than doing that, it would be faster to negotiate directly with Meng Sheng, the "culprit".
Meng Sheng's eyes flashed, and she said slowly, "The evidence you have regarding Cheng Jie hitting my mother's car."
Gu Ci paused, "You want to get something for free?!"
“What do you mean by ‘getting something for nothing’? This is called a fair trade. Of course, if you don’t want to, that’s fine too. Anyway, your Gu family’s reputation is already so bad. Just leave it hanging like this. At most, it will just mean that you two sisters will be unable to hold your heads up in front of people in the future.”
Gu Ci paused.
In this situation, she was indeed not qualified to negotiate with Meng Sheng.
If we provoke Meng Sheng again, who knows how long that video will stay up online? Meng Sheng might even upload something else.
It's not worth the risk.
She originally intended to use the evidence of Cheng Jie's backtalk to blackmail Meng Sheng, and now that she can exchange it with Meng Sheng, the outcome isn't too bad.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, I'll give you that video, you take it off the trending topics list!"
Meng Sheng slowly raised her head and smiled, her voice becoming much lighter and more cheerful, "Okay, send it over, and I'll have someone remove it from the trending topics."
Her confident tone made Gu Ci's throat tighten, and a faint, metallic taste welled up inside her. She took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "It's a deal!"
After hanging up the phone, Gu Ci didn't waste any time. After all, the longer the video stayed on the trending topics, the worse it would be for her. She quickly found the video and sent it to Meng Sheng from her cloud drive.
When Meng Sheng received the video, she felt inexplicably nervous.
When I opened the video, sure enough, the camera was pointed at the open-air parking lot, and the direction did indeed resemble a security camera outside the convenience store across the parking lot.
The coverage area was not complete; Xu Li's car was right at the edge of the surveillance camera and could be seen clearly.
She frowned. Even the police had difficulty recovering such a video. How did Gu Ci obtain it?
