canteen?
Meng Sheng was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Pei Sui, who happened to be looking at her as well.
"There will be traffic jams going back at this time."
Pei Sui's voice was indifferent.
But the implication is that you can eat now and go back later to avoid the evening rush hour.
Meng Sheng ate a few bites of ramen at noon. In fact, he was a little hungry now. Even if there was no traffic jam, it would take more than two hours to go back.
She has hypoglycemia and can't stand hunger.
Thinking of this, she didn't act coy or pretentious, and smiled at Pei Huan, "Then I'll have to trouble Sister Pei Huan. We will respectfully obey your command."
us?
Pei Sui subconsciously lifted his eyelids, and his indifferent eyes reflected her charming smile, red lips and white teeth, delicate and bright.
A sudden ring of a bell made him ignore the slight throbbing in his heart.
He calmly withdrew his gaze and answered the phone.
Pei Huan had already pulled Meng Sheng out of the office. "Why bother? I'll just show you the way and swipe your card. Let's go."
Pei Sui caught up with them after they both entered the elevator.
Pei Huan even muttered, "Hurry up, I'm waiting for you."
There are three canteens in the research and testing center, two large and one small, and they are a bit scattered. Pei Huan took them to the nearest, which is also the smallest one.
Although the cafeteria is the smallest, the food there is the most expensive and tastes the best.
Most of the people who came to this cafeteria were from the office building, and I greeted many people along the way.
Although Pei Huan and Pei Sui are twins.
But they don't look alike and their personalities are two extremes.
Even though Pei Sui is a lawyer, he speaks very little, and unless it is necessary, he usually speaks briefly and to the point.
Pei Huan was obviously a talkative person. From the time they met till now, the topics between Meng Sheng and her had never dropped.
On the way here, she even deliberately asked Meng Sheng if she had a boyfriend.
But Meng Sheng's answer obviously disappointed her.
I'm married.
Pei Huan sighed helplessly. She thought that her younger brother was going to be single.
It turned out that she was delusional.
All right.
Meng Sheng had no idea that she was thinking so much. After taking the plate, her attention was on the more than 20 dishes.
But I didn't think too much about it. I took a few things I wanted to eat and found a seat by the window.
Before long, night fell quietly, and it suddenly started raining outside the window, and a layer of hazy mist rose in the mountains.
The cafeteria gradually became lively.
Some people also complained about the rainy day.
It has been raining in the west of the city for nearly a week.
Meng Sheng didn’t like rainy days before, as he always felt they would be depressing and melancholy, and inconvenient for traveling.
Now……
She looked at the crystal bead curtain outside the window, which was dripping with water.
The noisy noises in my ears gradually faded away.
like……
Not so annoying anymore.
After finishing their meal and putting away the plates, she and Pei Sui prepared to leave.
Pei Huan did not try to keep them, knowing that the mountain road was difficult to walk on in the rain, and would be even more difficult to walk on later, so he gave them a transparent umbrella.
Meng Sheng took the umbrella and said, "Thank you so much today, Sister Pei Huan. When you have time to go back to the south of the city, I will treat you to a meal or visit the art museum."
"Okay, I've remembered it all." Pei Huan agreed with a smile, and then instructed Pei Sui, "Drive slowly, be careful, and report back when you get home."
"Um."
Pei Sui made a nasal sound and just turned around when he heard Pei Huan's voice again, "A Sui, have you not been home since the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Pei Sui paused.
The Pei family’s old house is in the west of the city.
But he usually lives in the south of the city.
Pei Huan knew that he didn't like going back to the old house, but he had a good relationship with the old lady at home.
She hesitated for a moment, "I heard from my eldest brother that grandma will be back from my aunt's place around the 20th of next month. Do you want to go and pick her up?"
Pei Sui didn't look back, but just replied coldly "I know", then walked under the umbrella held by Meng Sheng, and his long legs stepped into the myriad of silver threads.
The temperature in the mountains was lower than in the city. A sharp cold wind blew over her, and she couldn't help but shiver. She shrank her neck and pulled her coat closer.
Although she was wearing flat shoes, she was not short, but Pei Sui was a head taller than her.
The distance from the cafeteria to the main entrance was quite far, and she felt a little tired holding the umbrella.
Just as I was about to change hands, a slender, white hand with distinct joints reached out and took the umbrella.
Her hands were empty and she turned her head to look at the man beside her, her arms hanging in the air hanging at her sides.
Umbrella tilted.
It blocked the water droplets blown by the wind for her.
Looking from afar, the two handsome men and beautiful women's backs seemed to be stepping into the beautiful painting of misty rain.
Arriving at the car, Meng Sheng bent down and sat in the passenger seat. It was only when he closed the door that he noticed the large wet mark on his right shoulder.
She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Pei Sui had already closed the car door, walked around the front of the car, put away the umbrella, entered the driver's seat and turned on the heater and wipers.
Then he took off his coat and threw it on the back seat, stepped on the accelerator lightly, and drove slowly down the mountain.
Meng Sheng withdrew his gaze from the coat and said softly, "Thank you."
There is a lot contained in this "thank you".
Including bringing her to the research and testing center, and thanking him for his care.
Pei Sui said nothing and held the steering wheel steadily.
Meng Sheng knew that he had heard it, so he kept silent.
When the car was almost at the foot of the mountain, the rain suddenly got heavier. Bean-sized raindrops hit the car window like a water cannon, layer upon layer, blurring the vision.
After a few minutes, the wipers could hardly keep up.
If you can't see the road clearly, you definitely can't continue driving.
Pei Sui simply parked the car on the side of the road and turned on the hazard lights, "Wait until the rain subsides before driving."
"Um."
Meng Sheng responded softly, opened the weather forecast on her phone, and frowned, "This heavy rain will continue for an hour, followed by light rain, and it won't stop until after ten o'clock."
It was just right that I had my meal so I didn’t have to go hungry in the car.
Otherwise, being stuck on the road in the rain and going hungry would definitely be a bad feeling.
It will definitely be late if we go back today.
She thought about it, and then she told Qiao Na on WeChat and apologized. Qiao Na didn't care, because she lived not far from the art museum, and it only took ten minutes to drive there.
The choice of transportation is quite high.
Theirs was the only car on the clear mountain road. The mist was like a veil, the sky and the earth were hazy, the night was getting darker, and except for the small area illuminated by the headlights in front, the rest of the view was pitch black.
The sound of rain outside the car window was like a symphony, so majestic.
Meng Sheng is not a timid person, but it is his first time to come to such a big mountain in such weather.
As time passed, she couldn't help but feel anxious.
bite!
An abrupt text message alert sounded in the silent carriage.
[Shang Boyu took Ning Weiwei to have dinner at the Jingyi-cho Japanese restaurant tonight. He also gave her a Cartier watch as compensation.]
Meng Sheng was stunned, and that trace of anxiety suddenly froze.
In a few breaths, it broke into pieces and merged into the clouds and mist in the valley.
Shang Boyu sent her a message at noon, saying that he had to work overtime in the evening, and asked her not to go to the old house at night, but to go back and rest early.
Haha, so he and Ning Weiwei went on a date for a candlelight dinner.
Pei Sui inadvertently caught a glimpse of her clenched fists and tense jawline, but still asked calmly, "What's wrong?"
Hearing the voice, Meng Sheng looked up at him and was unexpectedly met with his deep and cold eyes.
She laughed at herself and pretended to be relaxed, "It's nothing serious. The private detective told me that Shang Boyu and Ning Weiwei were having dinner together."
Pei Sui was not surprised. He had also received several pieces of evidence from Meng Sheng, especially some photos, which did not look like they were taken by her.
Naturally, I guessed that she must have hired a private detective.
However, he still had a mystery in his heart about Meng Sheng.
But when I thought of her answer in the parking lot last time, the words I wanted to ask lingered on my lips before I swallowed them back.
He thought about changing the subject, "There is one thing you should be prepared for."
The topic was so jumpy that Meng Sheng almost couldn't react.
But the sadness and bitterness that welled up in my heart were inexplicably suppressed a little.
"What's up?"
"The test report of that cup of fruit tea has come out. Even if there are ingredients in it that can endanger your life, it cannot completely prove that Ning Weiwei was the one who drugged you."
"Many people must have handled the fruit tea. Apart from the store clerk and the delivery man, no one can tell whether other people in your museum have touched it. Unless you have hard evidence or witnesses."
Meng Sheng also understood what he meant and frowned slightly, "Given Ning Weiwei's cautious personality, even if she was drugged, she would definitely avoid people and cameras and would not leave any evidence behind."
"She can't conjure that medicine out of thin air."
yes.
No matter how Ning Weiwei got the medicine, there will always be a channel.
Since there is no other evidence, we can only start from this.
She thought for a moment and said, "I will check who she has been in contact with in the next few days."
Pei Sui nodded, "Yeah."
The originally awkward and stiff atmosphere in the car eased a lot.
Around eight o'clock, the rain became visibly lighter, but the fog under the car lights became thicker.
Pei Sui didn't drive too fast.
It was not until after ten o'clock that he got off the highway in the south of the city. He glanced at the peaceful sleeping face of the woman beside him and tapped the steering wheel with his slender index finger.
Another two minutes passed before he asked, "What's your home address?"
"arrive?"
Meng Sheng has always been a light sleeper, and he didn't fall asleep well in the car. When he heard the noise, he opened his eyes sleepily, looked through the square glass at the endless road ahead illuminated by the dim street lights, and was stunned for a moment.
Pei Sui repeated, "Your home address."
"Aren't you going back to the law firm?"
"No, it's troublesome to take a detour."
Since he wasn't going back to the law firm, Joanna would have to find time to drive back to the art museum tomorrow.
Meng Sheng reported a location, and Pei Sui seemed to know it, without using navigation. About half an hour later, the car arrived near the villa community.
It was at this time that Shang Boyu called.
I asked her if she hadn't finished get off work yet and why she hadn't gone home yet?
Hearing his concerned tone, Meng Sheng found it extremely ironic.
There was a hint of smile in her cold voice, "Almost there, already outside the community. Are you home?"
Shang Boyu's voice on the other end of the phone was gentle, "I just got back, and I was a little worried when I saw you were not at home. I'm glad you're almost there, I'll wait for you to come back."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Sheng was just thinking about what excuse to use to fool Shang Boyu when he suddenly heard the man's low comment, "You have some talent in acting."
Meng Sheng put away his phone and smiled, but his expression did not show in his eyes.
"With so many good teachers, it's hard not to improve my acting skills."
Yu Qionghua, Shang Boyu, Ning Weiwei, any one of them could be her master.
Moreover, these three are all ruthless people. If her acting skills are not good, ten lives will not be enough to bring trouble to them.
Pei Sui didn't respond, but just raised his eyebrows slightly.
Because Meng Sheng was there, the car entered the villa community smoothly. After driving straight for a few minutes and turning a corner, it arrived at the door of the European-style villa of more than 400 square meters.
When the car turned a corner, Meng Sheng saw a figure standing in front of the door.
It was Shang Bo Yu.
There was no need for her to hide anything. When the car stopped, she unbuckled her seat belt and got out. Before she could say anything, Shang Boyu took two steps towards her and said, "Wife..."
He wanted to ask who brought her back, and then he saw the person in the driver's seat through the large gap in the car door.
His brows were immediately knitted together.
Pei Sui? !
Why is it him again?
He remembered that Pei Sui was present every time he had quarreled with Sheng Sheng.
Thinking of this, the unhappiness and irritation in his heart almost overwhelmed him. He tried to suppress it, reached out and put his arms around Meng Sheng's waist, and bent down to kiss her cheek.
Her voice was gentle, worried, and also seemed to be relieved, "Why did you come back so late today? If you hadn't come back soon, I would have driven to look for you."
Meng Sheng's whole body froze. He didn't expect that he would kiss him suddenly.
The intimate scenes of him and Ning Weiwei suddenly emerged in her mind. The indescribable feeling of rejection and nausea, like boiling magma, instantly filled her chest.
She had a cold face, forcibly suppressed her anger, glared at him, and had to control her tone, "What are you doing?"
Shang Boyu smiled and scratched the tip of her nose, showing his affection, "You are my wife, what's wrong with me kissing you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked surprised, as if he had just discovered the person in the car, "Lawyer Pei? Did you send Shengsheng back?"
How could Pei Sui not see his deliberateness?
It was just done on purpose for him to see.
He glanced at Meng Sheng's face full of anger, then glanced at Shang Boyu's seemingly gentle and humble face, with a sneer of contempt at the corner of his mouth.
A clown.
"Leave."
Hearing this, Meng Sheng looked over at him, clenched his fists, and couldn't force a smile, "Okay. Thank you for today. Be careful on the road and stay safe."
Pei Sui nodded, and after Meng Sheng closed the car door, he turned the car around and drove out of the community.
Meng Sheng watched the car disappear around the corner, then looked away. Unable to hold back the disgust in his heart any longer, he pushed away his hand around his waist and walked inside.
But he muttered, "Can't you pay more attention? Others are still here. How embarrassing!"
Shang Boyu followed her in with a smile on his face, "I didn't notice it just now, I was too worried about you. But... why are you with him?"
Meng Sheng turned his head and raised his hand to wipe the place he had just kissed.
"I went to the west of the city to see Teacher Ying. It rained heavily there at night, and I happened to meet him."
She didn't go into too much detail, just gave a brief explanation.
Shang Boyu knew that the Pei family's old house was in the west of the city, so it was not surprising for him to go there.
The painter Ying Feiting, who was about to collaborate with the art museum, also happened to live there, so Meng Sheng's reason for going there was impeccable.
only……
The west side of the city is quite big, how could they have met like this?
He asked, "What a coincidence?"
Meng Sheng wiped his face twice with his hands, but still felt uncomfortable. Not only was he disgusted but he was also irritated. His voice became harder, "Well, it's just as coincidental as the last few times you met Ning Weiwei."
