In the evening, the sky, which had been gloomy all afternoon, finally began to snow sporadically.
The wind is cold and bleak.
Meng Sheng took Yu Qionghua's car back to the merchant's old house.
After dinner, Yu Qionghua took her to the yard to pick a few pots of Clivia and told her some key points and techniques of growing flowers.
After the selection, Yu Qionghua went in to deal with the snow on her clothes. Meng Sheng stood in the yard for a few minutes, his eyes fixed on the snowflakes falling from the sky.
I subconsciously wanted to reach out to catch the snow outside the umbrella, but when I was halfway up, I was suddenly held by a slightly cool big hand.
She was stunned for a moment, turned her head, and was unexpectedly met by the pair of gentle and affectionate peach blossom eyes behind the lenses.
The servant who was holding the umbrella quietly retreated at some point.
There was a hint of surprise in her eyes. "When did you come back?"
Shang Boyu looked at her lovingly, "I just arrived. Mom told me you were in the yard, so I came straight over."
He looked at the four pots of Clivia she had chosen and asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly think of raising Clivia?"
"I saw this beautiful flower in my mom's office this afternoon, so I took a few pots home to try."
She answered casually, glancing at her hand that was tightly wrapped in his and frowning slightly.
Shang Boyu's hands are very broad and thick.
In the past, she liked holding hands with him and thought it was more romantic than kissing.
But at this moment, she seemed to only feel the coolness seeping into her originally warm palms, slowly flowing into her blood, and finally spreading to her heart.
Her heart skipped a beat and she shuddered.
I tried my best to suppress the disgust and repulsion that was about to overflow in my chest, and quickly pulled my hand out, naturally spreading it out for him to see, "My hands are all covered in dust."
The originally slender and white fingers were now dusty, and the fingertips of the right hand were stained with dirt.
Shang Boyu didn't force him and said with a smile, "Let's go in and wash our hands. It's snowing hard outside, and you can't stand outside for too long. Be careful not to catch a cold."
"Um."
Meng Sheng responded indifferently, took a step forward, and walked into the house side by side with him. He let his arms hang at his sides and stretched out his palms hard, trying to let the cold snowflakes dilute the remaining warmth in his palms.
When she got inside, she went straight to the bathroom and rubbed the hand that Shang Boyu had just held with hand sanitizer.
She didn't stop until the slight tingling replaced the slightly cool touch. Her solemn expression relaxed, she wiped the water off her hands, and walked out.
bite!
The cell phone on the coffee table in the living room suddenly rang with a text message alert.
She paused, then took a few quick steps and saw Shang Boyu looking at her cell phone.
Meng Sheng's heart was suddenly gripped tightly.
My first reaction was the text message from an unfamiliar number.
Usually she would back up the files before deleting them, but she hadn't had time to back up and delete the text messages she sent today.
If Shang Boyu finds out...
So how should she explain it?
She didn't dare to think further and quickly shouted, "Shang Boyu!"
Shang Boyu was startled when he heard the voice, turned around to look at her, and asked slowly, "What's wrong, wife?"
Meng Sheng met his gaze, her nerves tense, trying to maintain her composure, she walked over and said, "The kitchen made apple peach drink today, go ask if there is any extra in the kitchen, I want to take some home to drink."
As soon as the voice fell, she noticed that the lock screen was displayed on the phone.
She was stunned.
The huge stone pressing on my heart suddenly showed signs of moving away.
Only then did she remember that she had changed her phone lock screen password more than ten days ago.
At that time, I was worried that the text messages sent from the unknown number would be seen by others, so I specifically set it so that the text messages would not appear in the lock screen list.
Even if the text message is sent from that number, you won’t be able to see the content if you don’t unlock the phone and click on it.
Thinking of this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Was it my cell phone that rang just now?"
"Well, it should be a text message." Shang Boyu handed the phone to her with a gentle look, and there was a bit of suspicion in his eyes, "But... Wife, when did you change the password?"
Meng Sheng knew that with his suspicious nature, he would definitely ask.
She looked up and said, "Last time someone used Yan Shitong's phone to send photos of me and Pei Sui to spread rumors, I thought the password was too simple and it would be easy for someone to find loopholes, so I changed it. What's wrong?"
Shang Boyu looked at her expression but didn't see anything unusual.
He smiled and said, "Oh, that's fine. I'm just asking. I'll go to the kitchen and take a look."
"Um."
Meng Sheng watched his back as he left, his knuckles turning slightly white as he gripped the phone. He unlocked his face and clicked on the text message.
It turned out to be a text message from that mysterious number.
Fortunately, she changed her password and settings.
[Danger! Pei Sui cannot be allowed on board tomorrow! The Honglan transport ship that ran aground and sank 9 days ago was carrying 10 kilograms of drugs hidden in fresh fruits imported from abroad. In order to prevent Pei Sui from discovering it, Lu Ming, the second young master of the Lu family, will have someone push him into the sea at 10:47!]
Boarding?!
Push into the sea?!
10 kilograms of drugs?!
Meng Sheng's pupils condensed, and his thoughts were confused by these three key words.
She hadn't contacted Pei Sui for several days, so she didn't know his itinerary. But she did see the report push about the Honglan transport ship running aground.
The accident caused 7 deaths, 9 injuries and 5 missing persons, and caused a sensation on the entire Internet at the time.
She did know the name Lu Ming. He was the second young master of the Lu's large chain shopping mall group. He was arrogant and unruly, and a well-known playboy in the wealthy circle of Beijing.
Pei Sui is investigating the shipwreck incident
The seawater in winter is freezing cold. What if...
If he was really pushed into the sea, what are his chances of survival?
Her breathing held, and she was afraid to think further.
Pei Sui must be told in advance.
She opened WeChat and was looking for Pei Sui's chat box when Yu Qionghua's voice suddenly came over, "Shengsheng, what's wrong? Why are you so pale?"
Meng Sheng's fingers froze, and he looked up at Yu Qionghua who was walking down from upstairs, and made up an excuse, "Maybe it's because I was exposed to the wind outside just now."
"Are you okay? I told you to come in early. It's very cold outside."
"fine."
Yu Qionghua looked around, "Where's Bo Yu? Isn't he back?"
"I asked him to go to the kitchen to help me pack the apple peach drink."
"If you like it, I'll ask the kitchen staff to prepare more next time you come back."
"good."
As they were talking, Shang Boyu came over with a thermos bucket in his hand. "Mom, it's getting late. You should get some rest. Shengsheng and I will go back first."
Yu Qionghua warned, "It's snowing outside, drive slowly and be careful on the road."
After coming out of the merchant's old house, Meng Sheng got in the car and searched for information about the shipwreck on the reef on Weibo.
Shang Boyu stopped the car at the red light and glanced at the content on her phone. "What are you looking at? So serious, did the Honglan transport ship run aground?"
Meng Sheng paused to avoid his suspicion and explained, "I see this matter has been on Weibo for many days."
Shang Boyu nodded, "Not to mention the loss of goods, just the 7 lives lost, and the 5 people missing who are in grave danger. I'm afraid Xie's is in trouble this time."
The Honglan transport ship belongs to the Xie Maritime Transport Group.
The Xie and Lu families have been cooperating for nearly ten years, but this is the first time such a big accident has occurred.
Meng Sheng asked, "Are you familiar with Xie?"
"Not familiar with him. I am more familiar with Lu Ming."
She looked surprised, "How do you know him?"
Shang Boyu smiled and said, "I only drank with him twice, played basketball and golf once, and we only met by chance. We are not close friends."
Meng Sheng clenched his fists when he heard this.
Perhaps her trust in him had long since disappeared, and an idea came to her mind.
Was Shang Boyu involved in the matter of 10 kilograms of drugs?
She pursed her lips and pretended to teach him a lesson, "That young man usually plays around, stay away from him, don't learn bad things from him."
Shang Boyu's eyes were filled with laughter. He laughed out loud and promised, "Yes. I have taken note of my wife's order. I will definitely stay away from him!"
