Chapter 8 The Strongest Scheming Woman (8)
While Lu Wenyao was in high spirits, Lin Mengmeng had changed from her usual lively self. For several days, she neither went to the bar to dance nor went shopping with her girlfriends to show her presence on social media. Instead, she hid in her own house and did not go out all day.
Lu Wenyao thought she was sick and went to her again and again to show his affection.
But Lin Mengmeng's health was fine, she just felt inexplicably depressed.
Lu Wenyao tried everything, including sweet words, gifts, and cooking for Lin Mengmeng, but he couldn't help her recover.
What upset him the most was that in the past, when Lin Mengmeng was unhappy, she would either throw things or curse at people, at least she could vent her emotions... But this time she kept silent and was as quiet as a chicken.
He was almost driven to death by anxiety.
Out of desperation, Lu Wenyao could only ask Shi Sui for help.
"It's been really weird lately! She even pushed away kisses and hugs. Mengmeng has never been this cold to me before. Could it be that she's met another man?!"
After all, girls understand girls better.
When Shisui heard about Lin Mengmeng's situation, she guessed that this child's middle school period... was almost over.
Shisui took a bottle of fine rose sparkling wine and went to visit...
The most upscale community in the city center.
The large flat of nearly 200 square meters and the extra-large viewing terrace allow you to take in the bustling night scene.
Smart appliances throughout the house, light luxury and modern design.
Apart from Lin Mengmeng, there is only a live-in nanny living with her.
Lin Mengmeng was wearing a halter dress and no makeup. She had two thick dark circles on her face and her eyes were empty. She sat on the large terrace and enjoyed the breeze.
Shisui asked the nanny for two glasses, placed them on the small table, and poured the wine until they were 70% full.
The light red, crystal clear wine exudes a faint rose aroma.
Tokiho: "Would you like a drink?"
Lin Mengmeng didn't answer, she just picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Shisui silently filled her glass again.
Lin Mengmeng raised her head and finished it again.
Fill it up again...
Blink and it's gone...
Until the 700ml bottle of sparkling wine became an empty bottle, two blushes appeared on Lin Mengmeng's face.
"Ah, why do I feel a little dizzy?"
After a few drinks, Lin Mengmeng finally took the initiative to speak the first words after meeting Shi Sui.
You must be kidding.
Lin Mengmeng, the queen of nightclubs, is known for being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, so how could she get drunk after just a few sips of sparkling wine with an alcohol content of less than 10%?
Shi Sui told her frankly, "Boss Lu was worried and asked me to come over to take a look. If you have any concerns, I can go back now."
After hearing this, Lin Mengmeng stood up shakily, leaned on the railing of the terrace, and looked at the colorful neon lights of the building with drunken eyes.
"I have so many friends. I only need to send a message and a dozen of them will immediately come out to accompany me." Lin Mengmeng muttered softly, "But I don't know why, I feel like you are the only one who understands..."
Lin Mengmeng took Shi Sui into her study.
Apart from a few fashion magazines, there were hardly any serious books inside. There was also a colorful cabin-style gaming chair and a bunch of video game controllers, figures and dolls scattered all over the floor.
The so-called study is actually an entertainment and audio-visual room.
However, Shisui noticed that there was a flat, square shelf against the wall in the corner of the room, covered with a light blue cloth.
It looks like... that's an easel?
Lin Mengmeng walked straight to the easel, stood there hesitating for a few seconds, and finally made up her mind to tear off the cloth covering it.
Ah, this is... an exquisite evening dress design.
"Ever since I came back from the old house that day, I have been painting and painting... It seems that only by picking up the paintbrush can I relieve the boredom in my heart." Lin Mengmeng lowered her head and sighed softly.
Shisui's eyes swept over the pile of miscellaneous items under the easel. Indeed, there were dozens of pieces of drawing paper scattered there, as well as various paints, brushes, and painting tools...
"Isn't this good?" Tokiho rubbed her shoulders to comfort her. "Drawing is your talent. I think it would be a shame to waste it."
"No...it's not this question..." Lin Mengmeng seemed speechless.
Lin Mengmeng couldn't explain it clearly, but Shi Sui already understood it in her heart.
"Before, you always went against your father and felt great about it. But now your father doesn't lecture you, doesn't make things difficult for you, doesn't think you're useless, and has even started to approve of your boyfriend. You feel at a loss, right?"
"Ah, so I just said that you are the only one who understands me..."
Lin Mengmeng was drunk and squatted on the ground sobbing.
She was really feeling uncomfortable.
Lin Mengmeng always thought that only when some earth-shaking changes happened, such as her father getting sick or her family being in debt, would her living conditions change.
She didn't expect it, but she was touched just by having a "warm" dinner with her boyfriend and father at the same table.
"That night, when I looked closely, I realized he had a lot of gray hair...and his temper wasn't as bad as before."
Lin Mengmeng's tears were shed because of confusion.
Shi Sui squatted down, half-knelt on the ground, put her arms around her shoulders and hugged her tightly.
She knew that Lin Mengmeng was actually very fragile inside.
Others can only see her scars, but can never feel the pain she has experienced.
"Mengmeng, we can take it step by step. I'm not asking you to act out the filial piety act right away. You can continue to go clubbing and drinking, and then take some time out to cultivate other hobbies... You could design clothes and open a fashion store!"
"I can't do it! Wen Yao always says I'm confused and I definitely can't do something like this."
After hearing this, Shi Sui's face darkened and she cursed Lu Wenyao in her heart. In order to keep Lin Mengmeng, what kind of PUA things did he usually do to her?
"I've always dreamed of seeing your fashion designs on the catwalk one day... Since you're so rich, you could definitely hire a private teacher. Unlike me, I'm just an ordinary worker, struggling to make a living every day. I can't even think about these things."
Tokiho gave a bitter smile.
Lin Mengmeng immediately recalled the harsh words she had yelled at Shi Sui in the old house not long ago, and a feeling of guilt welled up in her.
She nodded: "Emm... Actually, it doesn't hurt to try..."
Shi Sui rubbed Lin Mengmeng's hair, giving her strength and encouragement.
When a girl begins to wake up and has her own independent career and personality, she is not far from being able to see the true face of a scumbag.
