There was confusion and a hint of scrutiny in the look Meng Sheng cast over.
Shang Boyu suppressed the slight nervousness and anxiety in his heart.
He walked over calmly, his eyes still smiling, and said slowly, "Xiaoying has been in Beijing for many days. As her sister-in-law, you gave her a watch as a gift a few days ago. As her brother, I must not be left out. I thought this bracelet was nice, so I bought one for you and Xiaoying. Do you like it?"
It happens again.
It was clearly a gift for Ning Weiwei, but he could always find an excuse so easily, and he was so sincere when he lied.
His sister Shang Shuyi has never been close to him, and even has a hostile attitude towards him.
Yuan Siying is his only cousin on his mother's side, and every year on Yuan Siying's birthday, he would send her a gift.
It is indeed reasonable to buy her a gift now.
Meng Sheng felt mixed emotions.
There is also a subtle pain.
She said softly, "I like it. Xiaoying will definitely like it too. Doesn't she work in an art museum now? I'll bring it to her tomorrow morning and I'll tell her that it was bought for her by her cousin."
Shang Boyu nodded, "Alright, then I don't have to make a special trip."
"Um."
Meng Sheng took out the bracelet and fiddled with it lovingly. Shang Boyu saw this and the smile in his eyes deepened, "Do you like it so much?"
"I like it. It looks so nice." Meng Sheng raised his eyebrows. "I will wear it tomorrow."
"Okay. Go wash up first. I'll pack the suitcase myself."
Meng Sheng responded, turned around and left the cloakroom, went to the bathroom, and when she came out after washing up, Shang Boyu had already heated a cup of milk for her.
The two bruises on her legs had slowly scabbed off and pink flesh had grown back. She now habitually applied the scar-removing cream given by Pei Sui on the wounds before going to bed every day.
Shang Boyu looked at the small porcelain bottle in her hand and recognized it immediately.
This is a niche medical beauty product in Berlin. It is very effective in removing scars. Although it is a small jar, it is very expensive and limited in quantity. One jar costs 700 to 800 euros.
Converted into RMB, it costs about five or six thousand yuan for a small can.
Moreover, it is not available in China at all, and the medical beauty company does not accept reservations.
"Come, let me help you. Stop pressing your belly." Shang Boyu sat on the edge of the bed, took the scar removal cream in his hand, took out a little bit, applied it on her knees first, and asked casually, "Who gave this thing to you?"
Meng Sheng paused when he heard this.
She had searched for this bottle of scar cream out of curiosity before and knew how valuable it was.
But her injury was caused by saving Pei Sui, and since this was his thank-you gift, she accepted it without any pressure.
Therefore, there is no need to hide it.
Then he said bluntly, "Lawyer Pei gave it to me."
Shang Boyu stopped what he was doing and looked up in surprise, "Did he give it to me?"
"Um."
Meng Sheng didn't explain further.
Shang Boyu pursed his lips, frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes. He wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back.
After all, this thing is good for Meng Sheng, and he can't stop her from using it.
The next day, the sky in Beijing was still gloomy. After breakfast, Meng Sheng deliberately put on the starry diamond bracelet that Shang Boyu gave her.
When I arrived at the art museum, I happened to meet Ning Weiwei who was there for work.
Ning Weiwei's eyes were a little swollen. Not only did she not wait for Shang Boyu to come yesterday, she didn't even get a WeChat message from him.
She was so angry that she couldn't fall asleep until midnight.
Seeing Meng Sheng now, her anger was burning away her rationality, but she still had to try hard to put on a smile, "Morning, Shengsheng."
"Good morning, Weiwei." Meng Sheng smiled and looked gentle. He raised the hand with the bracelet and pressed the elevator button. "Didn't you sleep well last night? Why are your eyes so swollen?"
Ning Weiwei's eyes were determined.
This bracelet was chosen by Shang Boyu yesterday afternoon when he went to pick out gifts.
She knew that Shang Boyu would buy one for Meng Sheng, so she was not surprised. She curled her lips, with disdain and even a bit of ridicule in her eyes.
Although she looked embarrassed, her tone was full of pride, "He is my boyfriend. He was so exhausted after coming back from a business trip."
After saying that, he deliberately observed Meng Sheng's expression.
Meng Sheng naturally heard some clues, but his expression remained calm. He said, "Tsk, are you showing off your affection to me?"
"No, I'm just complaining."
Meng Sheng smiled faintly and asked, "Where did your boyfriend go on a business trip?"
"Honghai City."
Meng Sheng looked at her without understanding the deeper meaning. "That's a coincidence. Shang Boyu also went on a business trip to Honghai City two days ago and only came back yesterday afternoon."
Ning Weiwei raised his eyebrows calmly, "Really? That's indeed a coincidence."
As soon as the words fell, a familiar gentle voice came over, "Sister-in-law, Sister Weiwei, what are you talking about? You seem so happy chatting."
The two turned around and saw Yuan Siying coming over.
"Good morning, Xiaoying." Ning Weiwei changed the subject, "Oh, this clip looks pretty good today."
"Sister Weiwei likes it? Then I'll bring one to you in a couple of days."
"OK."
Yuan Siying had been in the art museum for several days and was assigned to curatorial group A. After learning about the relationship between Ning Weiwei and Meng Sheng, she became much closer to Ning Weiwei.
Ning Weiwei knew Yuan Siying's identity, so she naturally tried hard to win her over. She would even take Yuan Siying with her when she went to the toilet or ate.
It was also because of her that Yuan Siying integrated well into the art museum and got used to her work quickly.
Meng Sheng watched from the side, a faint smile on his lips, he took out a small jewelry box from his bag, and said to Yuan Siying, "This is what your cousin brought back from his business trip yesterday. He asked me to give it to you."
Yuan Siying was surprised and hurriedly took the box. When she saw the bracelet, she noticed the one on Meng Sheng's wrist.
It's the same style.
She was surprised and delighted. "My cousin is so polite. You can just buy it for me, why are you buying it for me?"
"What are you talking about? You're her sister, isn't it normal for him to be thinking about you?"
Yuan Siying laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, then go back and thank my cousin for me."
"good."
Yuan Siying happily took out the bracelet and prepared to put it on and take a photo with Meng Sheng to post on WeChat Moments.
Suddenly, Ning Weiwei's face looked so ugly.
Ning Weiwei's face turned pale from the moment she opened the box, and after hearing Meng Sheng's words, her face turned dark again.
The one in Yuan Siying's hand originally belonged to her.
She picked it herself.
How...how did it become Yuan Siying's?
She recalled the last time she went shopping with Shang Boyu in the mall, and it seemed exactly the same as today.
Meng Sheng walked into the elevator and looked at Ning Weiwei who was standing there frozen. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes. He said in a light voice, "Weiwei, what are you daydreaming about? Come up."
Ning Weiwei clenched her fists upon hearing this, bit her back teeth hard, quickly suppressed the hatred in her eyes, and replied with her neck stiff, "I'm... I'm coming."
