Chapter 70: Retreat to Advance



During lunch, Ning Weiwei took the time to call Shang Boyu and asked about the bracelet.

Shang Boyu sighed and coaxed in a gentle voice, "It's my fault. I didn't put it away properly and Shengsheng saw it. Look at another chain on your phone and I'll transfer the money to you."

Ning snorted tenderly, "Xiaoying is your sister after all. It's just a bracelet. The fact that she likes it shows that I have good taste. I don't need that bracelet either. Can I really quarrel with you over such a small matter? What I want is your attitude. If you have a good attitude, I will be happy no matter what."

"I don't need any compensation. I'm with you not for your money, but for you as a person. As long as you treat me well, that's enough."

Shang Boyu laughed and whispered, "Okay, you are the most sensible one. I will definitely treat you twice as well in the future."

Ning Weiwei acted coquettishly, "I will take it seriously, you can't lie to me."

"Yes, of course."

Ning smiled happily and said, "Are you free tonight? How about we go eat Japanese food together?"

Shang Boyu thought for a moment, "Just Japanese food?"

"You just went back yesterday, so you definitely can't come back to our home?"

"Our home" refers to Room 1408 of Jinzhou Hotel.

She once said that she wanted their relationship to have a sense of belonging, so she always called it Room 1408.

This would also make Shang Boyu feel guilty towards her and feel that he had wronged her.

It was precisely because of this that he wanted to book room 1408.

Shang Boyu smiled and said, "Okay, then you book a restaurant. I don't get off work until 6:30."

Just as the two of them had decided, Meng Sheng in the office received a string of text messages from an unfamiliar number.

[Ning Weiwei took a step back and asked Shang Boyu to have dinner with her in the evening. They booked a table at 7 o'clock at the Jingyi-Cheng Japanese restaurant.]

Meng Sheng paused. Shang Boyu did not go to Jinzhou Hotel last night, but went home directly. Ning Weiwei must have been very angry these two days, plus there was the bracelet incident in the morning.

She must be very upset.

Meng Sheng guessed that she would be angry with Shang Boyu, but he didn't expect that she could remain calm even when she was so angry.

Retreat to advance.

That’s a good idea indeed.

After all, Shang Boyu just loves this kind of thing.

The fact that Ning Weiwei was able to keep Shang Boyu firmly by her side also shows that she has a certain understanding of Shang Boyu and knows what to do to make him soften his heart.

Meng Sheng's heart was tickled by something, it felt a little painful and a little itchy.

It's not a very pleasant feeling.

She pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then dialed Shang Boyu's WeChat number and softened her tone, "Are you busy tonight? Do you want to work overtime?"

Shang Boyu on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and asked in a gentle voice, "What's wrong? Wife."

"I saw a new movie released yesterday called The Distance. If you're free, can we go watch it together? We didn't get to watch a movie on our wedding anniversary. It feels like I haven't watched a movie in a while."

When Shang Boyu heard her mention their wedding anniversary, he felt cold and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

He really owed her this.

He had accompanied her on their anniversaries in previous years, but this year... he even broke his promise not to go to the movies later.

But thinking about what he had promised Ning Weiwei two minutes ago, he frowned and weighed the matter over and over in his mind.

Meng Sheng waited for him for a while, but there was no sound.

She frowned slightly and said slowly, "If you don't have time, forget it. You can go on the weekend or at other times."

"I do have time..." Shang Boyu hesitated for a few seconds and then laughed, "Then book the ticket. I have a meeting this afternoon and I will be there around 6:30 after the meeting."

Meng Sheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he agreed.

"Okay then. I'll go and book the ticket."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Sheng had just booked two movie tickets when she received a call that took her by surprise.

It’s Pei Sui.

She and Pei Sui had known each other for more than a month. As far as she could remember, Pei Sui had never called her. The only time she called him was when he drugged her wine in the restaurant.

They rarely even chat on WeChat.

Only occasionally would she send him the evidence she had collected.

She picked up the phone, and Pei Sui's deep voice came through the receiver, "Are you free tomorrow night?"

"Um?"

Meng Sheng was bewildered when he heard this.

Pei Sui said succinctly, "He Xian invites you to dinner. For evidence, for Yuan Siying's matter."

Meng Sheng said hurriedly, "I have selfish motives behind these two things. How can I thank him? I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need to eat."

"One thing is for one thing, you can afford this meal."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Sui's phone seemed to be snatched away by someone, and a strange male voice came from the microphone.

"Sister Meng, Brother Sui is right, let's put one thing first. My mother wanted to come to my house with gifts to thank me in person a few days ago, but fortunately Brother Sui told me before that this matter must not be known to outsiders and must be kept secret, so I quickly stopped her."

Meng Sheng was startled by the sudden voice.

Although she had never seen He Xiang and was not familiar with him, she no longer had to guess, because this person was He Xiang.

When she heard that Mrs. He was going to bring a gift, she felt a little nervous.

If Shang Boyu or Yu Qionghua knew about this, then her discovery of Shang Boyu's affair and Yueqifang's underground industry would be exposed.

Fortunately, he was stopped.

Not hearing Meng Sheng's voice, He Xian solemnly invited again, "Sister Meng, you must come to this meal."

Meng Sheng was silent for a while.

It is very likely that I will have to deal with He Xian in the future because of Yuan Siying's matter, so it would be good to have this meal so that I can meet him earlier.

"Okay. Which restaurant tomorrow?"

Just as she agreed, a figure stopped outside the door.

The office door was not closed tightly, leaving a small gap. Ning Weiwei could hear Meng Sheng's voice coming from inside.

"It's the Yaju Royal Mansion you mentioned."

"Yeah, okay."

"Then Lawyer Pei..."

"Seven? Okay, see you tomorrow night then."

Ning Weiwei listened to these conversations and her eyes jumped violently.

From what she said, it seems that she is planning to have dinner with Pei Sui tomorrow night?

Didn’t you say you’re not familiar with Pei Sui?

Just as I was thinking about it, the office door was pushed open from the inside.

Meng Sheng saw the figure standing outside the door and couldn't help but frowned, "What are you doing..."

Ning Weiwei put on a natural smile, "I came from the back street. Why are you still in the office? Didn't you have lunch? If I had known, I would have brought you some dumplings."

"I'm just about to go."

Meng Sheng smiled faintly, walked out and closed the door.

Ning glanced at her departing back, a hint of viciousness flashed across his eyes. He turned and walked to the corner at the end of the corridor and called Shang Boyu again.
