Pei Sui held her in his arms and walked forward for more than ten meters. He stopped when he heard the sound of a car engine starting behind him.
Meng Sheng also heard the sound of the car speeding away. He let out a long sigh and when he looked up, he met his deep and gloomy eyes.
Their eyes fixed in the air for a few seconds, and Meng Sheng immediately jumped out of his arms, scratching his cheek awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, I just had to act in an emergency, I..."
Pei Sui nodded, indicating that he didn't care. He adjusted his cufflinks expressionlessly and asked casually, "Did you drive here?"
Meng Sheng didn't see any displeasure on his face, so he replied, "I took a taxi."
Ever since Shang Boyu didn't allow her to drive, it has become really inconvenient for her to travel.
Either take a taxi or borrow Jonah's car.
"Let's go, it's on our way." Pei Sui said in a light voice, and walked towards the parking lot.
Meng Sheng was stunned.
Speaking of which, although Yisheng Art Museum and Suixing Law Firm are not on the same road, the entire route is straight and there is no need to turn.
Going over here, it seems like you're going to pass by the art gallery.
Since it was on the way, she didn't hesitate and followed.
The car drove smoothly all the way, and in about twenty minutes, we arrived at the entrance of the art museum.
Meng Sheng unbuckled his seat belt, said thank you, then opened the car door and got out.
Pei Sui glanced at the beautiful figure disappearing from his sight, his thin lips pursed into a straight line.
After a long time, he retracted his gaze, restarted the car, and after passing an intersection, he called Xie Qi, the chief executive of the Xie Group.
"Check all the transport vehicles under the Lu Group. Once you find them, send me the vehicle type and license plate number."
The Xie and Lu families have cooperated for so many years, although now the two families have become enemies.
But since they know each other's background, it is easy to check and there is no need to waste time.
Xie Qi and Pei Sui are of similar age and are old classmates. As soon as he got into a contract dispute with the Lu family, he went straight to Pei Sui.
Pei Sui originally did not want to take this case, after all, he had other cases on hand, but he could not resist Xie Qixiao's appeal and even brought up the story of the adult Lao Kang who had borrowed an eraser from Pei Sui in elementary school and had not returned it.
In the end, he couldn't resist Xie Qi's nagging anymore, so he agreed.
After Xie Qi agreed, he continued, "The families of the victims and the injured have been appeased. As for the Lu family, what are you going to do next?"
"No rush, let's talk about it next Friday." He reminded, "You must give me the vehicle information tonight!"
Hearing this, Xie Qi couldn't help but ask, "Why are you suddenly checking the transport trucks..."
beep!
The phone has been hung up.
Xie Qi: “…”
When they returned to the law firm, Nie Han came up to them and reported to Pei Sui all the phone calls and emails he had received this morning.
Pei Sui nodded casually to show that he understood. Nie Han then said, "Then I'll pour you a cup of coffee."
"Um."
He responded calmly, and when Nie Han walked to the door, he suddenly shouted, "Wait. No black coffee."
Nie Han was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."
About half a month ago, Pei Lu seemed to no longer like drinking black coffee.
I frown every time I drink it.
Pei Sui started drinking black coffee since he went abroad to study. He didn't know if it was due to psychological reasons or other reasons.
After discussing something with Meng Sheng in this office last time, he found the drink bitter, but he didn’t expect that he would find it particularly bitter every time he drank it in the future.
Having tried so many times, he didn't want to try again today.

Just after five o'clock in the evening, Meng Sheng had just finished inspecting the progress of the exhibition with Minister Zhou and Qiao Na. Before they had time to explain things, Shang Boyu had already appeared outside the exhibition hall.
"Are you not done yet?" Shang Boyu looked at her gently and asked with a smile.
"Not yet... why are you here?"
"To pick you up."
Meng Sheng moved his lips and tried to smile, "Then wait for me."
"It's okay, don't worry, just take your time."
Meng Sheng withdrew his gaze and continued to explain things to Minister Zhou and Qiao Na. After more than ten minutes, he went upstairs to get his coat and bag.
Shang Boyu first took her to the supermarket to buy the ingredients she wanted to eat in the evening.
She stood at the supermarket entrance in a daze for a long time.
It seemed that they hadn't gone shopping in the supermarket together since they graduated from college.
The two of them had been in an overseas relationship for more than a year, and Shang Boyu proposed to her not long after he returned from abroad. After marriage, Shang Boyu joined Shang's company for training, so he couldn't spare the time and didn't think about this.
“Do you feel a sense of nostalgia?”
Meng Sheng came back to her senses from his gentle voice. She smiled faintly and did not answer his question. Instead, she sighed, "I haven't been to the supermarket for a long time."
Having said that, he walked inside.
Shang Boyu paused. Perhaps it was because too much guilt had accumulated in his chest in the past two days. He always wanted to find something to divert or numb it. In the end, he found that only the moments with Shengsheng could overcome these guilt.
He caught up with Meng Sheng, a smile in his eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Do you remember the first time we went to the supermarket?"
Hearing this, Meng Sheng subconsciously looked up at him.
Suddenly I understood why he brought her to the supermarket.
Miss the past?
To make up for the loss that his cheating brought to her, or to himself?
In fact, although they have been together for six years, the most unrestrained and sweetest time was when they were in college.
At that time, they often went to the supermarket together to buy their favorite fruits, snacks, bread and other things.
Those things may indeed be worth remembering.
But there is no great need for it.
This ironic and sad ending now makes us feel sorry for the beautiful and bold memories of the past.
Does he want to play the emotional card of the past?
This is really ridiculous.
"It's been a while, I don't remember much." She naturally took a shopping cart and didn't want to continue this topic. The more she talked, the more ironic she felt.
Then he said casually, "Let's make beef short ribs tonight."
When Shang Boyu heard this, a hint of disappointment suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Don't remember?
Do you really not remember?
Or...she doesn't want to remember?
No..
Six years is indeed a long time.
It’s normal not to remember.
Yeah, that's right.
He comforted himself like this and replied with a smile, "Okay. Buy it and I'll make it for you when I get home."
Perhaps influenced by Shang Boyu, she was not in the mood and didn't buy much after the whole round.
Most of the things were chosen by Shang Boyu because she said she liked them or loved to eat them.
Shang Boyu's attempt to please others was too obvious.
It was obvious that she was feeling annoyed.
But she couldn't show it, so she could only make an excuse, "Let's check out. I'm easily tired lately, and I want to go home and rest."
"good."
Shang Boyu paused, queued up to pay the bill, took her hand, and walked towards the parking lot.
Meng Sheng pursed his lips and tried hard to restrain himself from pulling his hand out.
When she got to the front of the car, she seemed to have reached her limit of patience and pulled her hand out, "Go put the things away, okay?"
After saying that, he opened the passenger door and got in.
As soon as the door closed, the phone in the bag suddenly rang.
[Ning Weiwei sued Xiao Jing for spreading rumors and slander, defaming her personal reputation. The case will be formally filed this afternoon. The police will test those photos and will confirm tomorrow that those photos are synthesized.
Xiao Jing will face nine months in prison and 64,000 yuan in compensation for mental damage and medical expenses. Yu Qionghua will secretly rescue Xiao Jing. 】
Xiao Jing?
This name is unfamiliar to her.
But it's not hard to guess who it is.
Yu Qionghua specially invited the "original wife" to act in the play.
Ning Weiwei's move today might catch Yu Qionghua off guard, but it wouldn't cause her to panic.
It is understandable that Yu Qionghua rescued the person.
Although those photos were synthesized, the fact that Ning Weiwei was a mistress could barely be explained by her family conditions and current financial situation, and the BMW car.
But what about the villa in Yuelan Mansion?
Twenty or thirty million, she couldn't steal that much even if she robbed a bank.
Not to mention all the brand-name clothes she was wearing.
Now that Yu Qionghua has taken action, the label of "mistress" attached to Ning Weiwei will never be removed in this lifetime.
She is not worried about this.
After returning home, Shang Boyu went into the kitchen without even changing his clothes, while Meng Sheng went back to his room and lay down for a while before coming down to eat dinner. On the other side, Ning Weiwei had just returned to Yuelan Mansion from the police station.
When she passed the gate, the security guard looked at her strangely, but still managed a smile, "Ms. Ning, when you left with the police this afternoon, the door was not closed.
I've brought it for you. Also, here's the express delivery that arrived this afternoon. Please sign for it."
Ning Weiwei accurately caught the flash of contempt in his eyes. She clenched her fists and used the remaining rationality on the edge of exploding to suppress the anger in her heart.
I've been holding back for the entire afternoon and can't let it go at this moment.
She has always been portrayed as a weak and gentle person.
Besides, what happened this afternoon must have caused a lot of controversy, so she had to use other people's words to clear her name.
Thinking of this, she smiled softly, her pair of pure and charming eyes sparkling with water, and the wounds on her fair and beautiful face made people feel a little sympathy for her.
"Thank you. I'm sorry for causing you trouble this afternoon." Her voice was sweet and soft, with a hint of sob. "I'm really sorry."
Seeing her like this, the security guard actually felt a little sympathy for her, "What did the police say?"
"A case has been filed against that person for damaging my reputation."
Does this mean that she is really innocent?
The security guard smiled and said, "Then you should go back and rest. You also need to take care of the wound on your face as soon as possible."
Ning thanked her slightly, signed the contract, took the delivery box and went home.
As soon as the door was closed, she got very angry and several vases and decorations in the room were smashed to the ground.
She didn't stop until the depression in her chest had almost dissipated.
His eyes were fixed viciously on the mess on the ground.
She just didn't believe that the person behind the scenes would just sit there and do nothing after seeing that bitch Xiao Jing going to jail!
