Chapter 6 Just By the Way



Meng Sheng was stunned. His calm phoenix eyes blinked slightly, full of confusion. "Wha...what?"

Pei Sui knew she had heard it clearly, so he didn't repeat himself, but continued to ask, "How many times a week?"

Meng Sheng thought she was not the type of person who would be timid and artificial, but it was hard for her not to feel embarrassed when talking about such a sensitive topic with a strange man.

Especially this man, he is handsome, but he looks calm and composed, without even frowning.

The question was asked so seriously.

"Does this have anything to do with my divorce consultation?"

"Yes." Pei Sui said, "This is related to how determined you are to get a divorce. Is coming here an impulsive act on your part?"

He has represented many divorce cases due to infidelity. Most of the wives could not accept the situation when they first discovered their husbands’ affairs, so they came to him for consultation and sought lawyers to represent them. However, in the end, after their husbands tried to win them back in various ways, they chose to forgive them and give them another chance.

He doesn't like wasting time and doing useless work.

Meng Sheng considers herself a rational person. She has an inseparable feeling for Shang Boyu, but she is not so generous as to share her husband with other women.

She couldn't ignore the heartache and pain no matter what.

Men are like cats that steal fish. After the first time, there will definitely be a second and a third time.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes that morning, she wouldn't have been able to make such a decision based on the text message alone.

She could look forward to his honesty. After all, they had been in love for six years, and his love for her and his kindness to her were all vivid in her mind.

Over the years, he has portrayed the character of a deeply affectionate and devoted person to the point where it is unforgettable.

But precisely because of this, she couldn't choose to forgive.

The feeling of being deceived, betrayed, and concealed is like being pierced by thousands of swords. She would not be so stupid.

Meng Sheng clenched his knuckles, his eyes reddened with determination, "I want a divorce, I want him to leave the house with nothing, and I want him to take back all the things he gave to his mistress!"

The name Ning Weiwei has been stained with a heavy stain in her heart.

Now, she is only worthy of the dirty word "mistress".

Pei Sui's eyes fell on her hand and he noticed a deep ring mark on her ring finger.

I guess she just took off her diamond ring not long ago.

His expression relaxed slightly, "Do you have any evidence?"

"have."

Meng Sheng paused as he spoke, took out his cell phone from his bag, and found the photos he had taken in the morning.

The two people in the photo are hugging each other tightly, and Shang Boyu's hand is still holding Ning Weiwei's head. Even if it is not a GIF, you can tell how hard and passionate the kiss is.

It was much clearer than what she saw in the morning.

I couldn't hold back my tears and they fell.

She quickly looked away, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and held out her phone. Her originally gentle and beautiful voice was now choked with sobs, "Although it's a little blurry, I can recognize his and Xiao San's faces."

Pei Sui glanced at the pain in her eyes, glanced at the pen on the table, leaned over, took out a tissue and handed it to her.

Meng Sheng was stunned and looked at him with tearful eyes.

Pei Sui's pupils were very deep, like thick ink that could not be dissolved, as if they could peel off the surface of all things and explore the essence layer by layer.

Meng Sheng didn't know why she was stared at by him and felt a little flustered for a moment. She took it and said, "Thank you."

Pei Sui retracted his gaze and glanced at the photo on his phone, "Is this the only one?"

She held the ball of paper tightly and nodded slightly, "For now... this is all I have."

"Not enough. The more evidence you have, the better it is for you, such as their chat records, whether they have ever lived together, and transfer records, etc."

Living together...

Meng Sheng’s thoughts were suddenly drawn away.

She remembered that Shang Boyu's business trip frequency had increased significantly this year, some lasting as long as six or seven days, and some as short as one or two days.

Which of these are real business trips and which are fake?

Could it be that he was lying to her and saying he was on a business trip, but was actually living with Ning Weiwei?

Meng Sheng let his nails sink into his palms, his eyes fluctuating with emotion, his voice a little hoarse, "If we find this evidence, is there a high chance that he will be kicked out of the house?"

“Is there a prenuptial agreement?”

"have."

Although Shang Boyu is an illegitimate child, he does have a lot of property under his name, and the same is true for her.

Since the interests of both families are involved, a prenuptial agreement is essential no matter how good their relationship was before.

However, the terms of the agreement were not harsh or strict, and they had been inseparable for the three years of their married life.

Not to mention daily needs, even stocks, financial management funds and so on are mixed together and cannot be distinguished at all. They usually don't care about this.

The most valuable thing about their marriage is the affection between them.

But now, the most valuable thing is property.

Pei Sui said, "Then you need to sort out all the evidence of your and your husband's joint property to see if he has hidden or transferred it."

All the properties that Meng Sheng knew about now were what Shang Boyu was willing to tell her.

So he really didn't hide or transfer anything?

Can you trust someone who can lie to you and say he loves you with both words and actions?

Of course Meng Sheng wouldn't believe it.

She now only believes what she sees and what she finds out.

After staying in the law firm for more than an hour, Meng Sheng asked before leaving, "Lawyer Pei, can you add me on WeChat?"

It's always good to have a way to get in touch.

If you have anything you want to ask in the future, you don’t have to make a special trip. This can be considered a tacit understanding for cooperation.

Pei Sui stared at her for two seconds, then took out a business card from the business card box and gave it to her. "I don't have the habit of adding clients on WeChat. Call me if you have anything."

“…”

Phone calls are also acceptable.

Meng Sheng's eyes were filled with a faint smile that didn't seem so genuine. She took the business card with her slender and fair hands and said, "Thank you very much. I'm afraid I will have to trouble Pei Lu in the future."

She said politely and threw the business card into her bag.

Pei Sui glanced at the white jade pen in the box and said hesitantly, "This pen may be an important piece of evidence in Xue Xinyue's case. I will hand it over to the court tomorrow..."

What this means is that you may not be able to get this pen back.

Of course, when Meng Sheng took out the pen, he didn't think about taking it back.

It was nothing more than meeting him through the pen as the text message said.

Meng Sheng gave him a faint smile, "I don't know much about Xue Xinyue's case. I don't know whether this pen will be useful or not. I'll leave it to Lawyer Pei to handle it."

"Thank you." Pei Sui nodded. "Commission agreement, my assistant will contact you again."

"good."

When Meng Sheng left, Pei Sui did not stand up to see her off. He just said "take care". When she passed by him, a faint scent of pear blossoms lingered around his nose intentionally or unintentionally.

Fresh and elegant fragrance.

It is quite different from her sallow face and decisive personality.

Thinking of this, Pei Sui frowned and his eyes darkened slightly.

After a few seconds of pause, he stood up and walked to the computer on his desk with a pen, searched the Starrism website, and the results were the same as what Meng Sheng said.

Not long after, the assistant came in holding two documents. He looked over and said, "Go check Meng Sheng's identity."

When I came out of the law firm, the sunset had already covered half the sky and dusk was slowly falling.

The cold wind of late autumn penetrated his coat and Meng Sheng shivered.

She checked the time. It was almost six o'clock.

The text message also came at this time: [Shang Boyu has a total of 420 million in liquid funds, which are deposited in five banks. 39 million in stock funds, 38% of the shares of five companies under Shang's name, 13 apartments, 3 large shopping malls, 9 cars worth millions, and 6 credit cards with a limit of millions. The liquid funds belonging to your common property are currently 129 million, including some fund stocks, 5 apartments, and 4 cars. Last month, on Ning Weiwei's birthday, he gave Ning Weiwei a BMW worth 1.2 million. ]

Meng Sheng paused, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

She was still wondering how to find out the assets under his name.

It actually saved her a lot of trouble, except that she had to make several trips to the bank to sort out all the property records.

As for Shang Boyu giving Ning Weiwei a million-dollar luxury car, she was no longer surprised after buying the house worth more than 20 million yuan, but it was hard not to feel emotional.

I couldn't help but tighten my grip on the phone.

Now all he needs to do is find the payment records for the things he bought for Ning Weiwei.

When she got home, it was already dark and she didn't see the black Cayenne in the garage.

Shang Boyu hasn't come back yet.

When she entered the house, the nanny saw her and hurriedly called out with a smile, "Madam, you are back."

Meng Sheng smiled and nodded, "Let's prepare dinner."

The nanny asked, "Do you want to prepare Mr.'s portion?"

Meng Sheng pursed her lips. She didn't want to call or send WeChat to Shang Boyu. "Just do it as usual."

After that, she went upstairs to remove her makeup, took a shower, and changed into casual and comfortable clothes.

When she came down again, the nanny had already prepared four dishes and a soup. She pulled out a chair and sat down. Just as she took a few bites, the sound of a car engine was heard outside the door.

After a while, Shang Boyu walked in, carrying a white bag in one hand and a blue coat in the other arm.

Meng Sheng was in a trance for a moment. His face, as gentle as the breeze, was reflected in his phoenix eyes. It soon overlapped in his mind with the face he had passionately kissed with Ning Weiwei in the morning.

She thought that the shocking scene might be like a nightmare, constantly reminding her in the days that followed how painful it was to be betrayed by the two people closest to her.

When Shang Boyu saw her, a gentle smile immediately appeared on his face. He unconsciously quickened his pace and put the bag in his hand on the table.

"Shengsheng, you're back. Why are you back so early today? Are you not working overtime?"

Meng Sheng had already concealed the complicated emotions in his eyes very well, and replaced them with a gentle smile, "I felt a little tired, so I came back early."

She glanced at the logo on the white bag in his hand and asked in surprise, "You went to the north of the city?"

Shang Boyu noticed her tiredness, his eyes were full of heartache, he raised his hand to touch her face, and said softly, "I see you have lost weight recently, your complexion doesn't look good, and you don't eat much."

After that, he took out the things in the bag and said, "I thought I could whet your appetite and get you to eat more, so I drove over and bought some white glutinous rice, caramel milk paste, and pork ribs rice cake."

Meng Sheng stared at these things in a daze.

These were all the foods she had loved to eat since college, and it was not the first time Shang Boyu bought them for her.

There are some in the south of the city where they live, but Meng Sheng is a nostalgic person and always likes the taste of the stores near the university in the north of the city.

It takes an hour and a half to drive from the south of the city to the north, and three hours to go back and forth.

She remembered that it had always been like this.

Whether in college or after graduation, as long as she said she wanted to eat something, he would drive out to buy it for her, even if it was in the early morning, no matter how far or how hard it was to buy.

Sometimes she would just casually mention that she suddenly wanted to eat something, and that thing would always appear in front of her within a few dozen minutes, a few hours, or the next day.

Or like today, give her surprises from time to time, with food, flowers, or small things like bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and hair bands.

He was always willing to put in all kinds of effort for her.

Meng Sheng didn't understand whether his love was genuine or fake.

If it's true, why would he cheat?

If it was fake, how could it last for six years?

Bitterness secreted from her heart, eroding every cell of her body.

She tried hard to suppress her voice and not let it sound like tears. "Why did you go there again? It's so far. I've never had a big appetite, and I've been tired lately. I just need a good rest."

She was also afraid of being noticed as something was wrong, so while she was talking, she opened the lid and looked at those things, as if she suddenly didn't like them as much.

I have no appetite at all.

"We were delayed on the road, so it's cold now." Shang Boyu took the bag and said, "I'll heat it up."

Meng Sheng said, "Just let Aunt Zhang warm it up. You've been driving for so long, take a break and eat first."

Shang Boyu looked at her and smiled, "Okay, I'll go wash my hands then."

As soon as he left, the phone on the table rang with a text message: [Before coming back, he went to Yuelan Mansion. He went to the north of the city because Ning Weiwei wanted to eat the lotus cake and rock sugar snow pear there. ]

Meng Sheng was stunned.

The hole in my heart seemed to have grown bigger, and the biting cold wind kept blowing in.

Oh, so I bought it for her just by chance.

Just by the way!

She suddenly laughed, her face full of mockery, but a warmth rose in her eyes.

Meng Sheng sniffed lightly, but was afraid that tears would really fall, so he quickly got up and prepared to go upstairs to deal with it. Just as he stepped onto the first step, he heard a very small voice from the right.

The bathroom on the first floor is at the right corner of the stairs.

This voice belongs to Shang Boyu.

The content was vague, but she heard the word 'baby'.

Meng Sheng's pupils froze for a moment, and he subconsciously retracted his leg, took two steps towards the corner, hesitated for a moment, and turned on the recording on his mobile phone.

Shang Boyu coaxed the person on the other end of the phone softly, "Okay, okay, I get it. Find someone to pretend first, she won't suspect anything. I'll come to accompany you the day after tomorrow, okay?"

Although his voice was low, it was not difficult to hear the tenderness and doting in it.

Originally, this tone and method of coaxing people were unique to her.

But now, listening to him coaxing another woman, Meng Sheng's heart swelled slightly, a thin layer of mist filled her eyes, and crystal tears finally fell down her cheeks.
