Gu Ci?
Shang Boyu paused.
Thoughts that had always been fleeting before came flooding back like a tide.
He asked why this woman looked so familiar.
It turned out that he had attended the engagement party of the Pei and Gu families eight or nine years ago.
He was under the stage and saw Gu Ci appear in everyone's sight holding Pei Sui's hand.
The people below discussed for a while, praising the two as a perfect couple, a match made in heaven, and a perfect match.
This grand engagement banquet once became a hot topic among the wealthy families in Beijing, but five or six years ago, the news that the Pei and Gu families canceled their engagement also became a topic of conversation for many people after dinner.
But even so, not a single piece of information about Gu Ci was leaked to the outside world.
As far as he knew, the third young lady of the Gu family had been in poor health since she was a premature baby.
There were even Taoist priests who predicted that a person would not live past the age of twelve.
This is not groundless. Before she was twelve years old, even the Gu family could not guarantee that she would survive.
Pei Sui and Gu Ci's marriage was arranged after their grandfathers calculated their horoscopes and felt that their destinies complemented each other and had desirable qualities.
One has a very tough fate and often suffers misfortunes when he is young; the other has a poor health and is said to not live past the age of 12.
In addition, the two are of similar age, come from wealthy families, and have been childhood sweethearts.
We hit it off right away.
But no one expected that just over three years after the engagement, the Gu family suddenly announced the cancellation of the engagement.
As for what the inside story is, no one knows.
All I know is that more than five years ago, Gu Ci was sent abroad by her family.
Shang Boyu suddenly realized that since Gu Ci did not live here, she must have come to find Pei Sui.
The fact that she came from the west of the city to find Pei Sui was enough to show that she had old feelings for Pei Sui.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved.
He was not the only one who wanted Pei Sui and Meng Sheng to separate and have less contact with each other.
With allies, he doesn't have to rack his brains to fight alone.
Good.
"I guess Miss Gu is here to see Lawyer Pei?"
Shang Boyu's voice became gentler, his eyes and eyebrows smiling, "Lawyer Pei is eating at a copper pot hot pot restaurant not far ahead."
Copper pot hot pot?
Gu Ci frowned slightly.
But she suddenly remembered something, and she and Shang Boyu nodded slightly and smiled, "I see, thank you Mr. Shang for telling me."
What I meant was that there was no need to continue the conversation.
Just enough.
People like Shang Boyu are really not worth her talking to.
But she still gave him face and didn't treat him coldly.
However, Shang Boyu did not intend to miss this opportunity and continued, "Ms. Gu, aren't you curious about who Lawyer Pei is having dinner with?"
These words contain a hint of provocation.
Gu Ci raised her eyes slightly, smiled faintly and asked, "Mr. Shang seems to be very interested in the matter between me and Asui?"
Asui?
That's a really nice name.
Shang Boyu raised his eyebrows calmly.
He smiled, his tone full of regret, "Ms. Gu hasn't been back for many years, I'm just trying to help her solve her doubts. Miss Gu and Lawyer Pei have had a deep relationship since childhood.
Until now, that wonderful story has become a pity. I am afraid that I will never see you two standing together again in Beijing."
What this means probably is: You and Pei Sui can never go back.
Gu Ci naturally understood the profound meaning of his words.
His eyes flickered twice, but his expression did not change.
His tone was as elegant and gentle as ever, "For those who don't know the inside story of what happened between Asui and me, it's not appropriate to say the word 'regret'.
However, in my opinion, Mr. Shang and Director Meng are more regrettable.
When I first saw you in the art museum, I felt from the bottom of my heart that you and Director Meng were a perfect match, but now I know that I was wrong and you are not worthy of Director Meng. "
She spoke every word, her voice neither loud nor soft, and even her expression did not change.
At the end, she shook her head, with a hint of disappointment and heartache in her eyes.
"A woman's youth is the most precious thing. Life is just a few decades, but Director Meng has wasted so many years on you and even got hurt.
As a woman, I feel sorry for her, but at the same time I admire her decisiveness. She was able to divorce you so firmly and quickly.
How many people in this world can have such courage as her? At least, if it were me, I might not have such courage.
Director Meng was born into a scholarly family in the north of Beijing. She had a noble family background, was beautiful, had great talent and a refined manner.
From the time I've spent with her, I've found that she is well-educated, gentle, strong, intelligent and rational. She's not the kind of woman who would fall in love and be unable to extricate herself.
But it is such a person that you let down.
Mr. Shang, we are not close friends, and I really don't understand why you would cheat on your wife when you have such a good wife. Mr. Shang, I pity you. "
She used the softest voice to say the sharpest words in the world.
Every word is precious.
Every word is heart-wrenching.
She analyzed the marriage between Shang Boyu and Meng Sheng from a woman's perspective.
At the same time, she also generously expressed her appreciation and love for Meng Sheng, and felt sorry for her experience and her bad marriage.
Instead, she was more sarcastic towards the cheating man in front of her.
There were no swear words, but it still devalued him to nothing.
There is no need to even compare him to others, because he doesn't deserve it.
But the translated meaning of these words is roughly: You come here to stir up trouble with those dirty things you have done, are you worthy?
It's ridiculous.
There's a lot of shit on your body, and you want to wipe it off for others?
Especially the last sentence "I pity you" is a killer touch.
Completely break down Shang Boyu's psychological defenses.
But she didn't want to continue to entangle with Shang Boyu. After saying that, she went straight to the white business car on the side of the road.
As soon as the car door closed, she glanced coldly at the figure standing in the cold wind and shivering slightly.
He curled the corners of his lips in contempt and looked away.
What qualifications does a cheating man have to stand in front of her?
Villain!
Shang Boyu stood there, his whole body tense, his hands hanging by his sides trembling uncontrollably.
The scarlet eyes burst out with gloom and anger that almost destroyed everything.
He gritted his teeth and spoke word by word, "Gu Ci! You are an ungrateful sickly person! Who do you think you are? How can you interfere in the affairs between Shengsheng and me?
The idea of not being worthy, sympathy and pity is all bullshit!"
He and Meng Sheng are a match made in heaven!
It was clearly a win-win situation, but this woman who couldn't see the situation clearly was hopelessly stupid.
He didn't believe that she came to see Pei Sui and had no interest in him at all!
Why is she pretending to be noble?!
Now that Pei Sui has admitted that he likes Sheng Sheng, can she break them up on her own?
It’s better to cooperate with him.
This has a higher chance of happening.
At least someone can hold the other party back.
A smart-aleck fool.
Meng Sheng and Pei Sui naturally had no idea what happened at the gate of Zuo'an Courtyard Community.
The two of them ate and chatted about random things.
This was probably the first time since they met that they didn't talk about the case, nor did they talk about Meng Sheng getting drunk last night.
Instead, we talked about the planting and maintenance of rhododendrons.
This topic carried over their entire dinner.
In the second half, we just chatted about some simple trivial matters.
But there was no feeling of awkwardness, and the tones and expressions of both of them were very natural.
That's enough.
After dinner, it was already half past eight. Meng Sheng paid the bill and left the store with Pei Sui.
