"At the company, no one dares to give me a hard time."
"That's good."
Meng Jingwei believed Qing Muye's words without a doubt.
It was because he indeed had enough power to conquer the board members, though it would be somewhat tricky.
Meng Jingwei clutched her phone. After asking, she fell silent for a moment, then recounted the events of the evening at the hospital to Qing Muye.
After all, whatever Old Mrs. Qing endured was due to them, so this matter had to be told to Qing Muye.
After listening, Qing Muye was not as angry as Meng Jingwei had imagined. Instead, he said calmly, "Don't worry about Grandma. They wouldn't dare to do anything to her."
"Grandma was really… so imposing when she got angry at the hospital today." Meng Jingwei couldn't help but chuckle.
She then stifled her laughter, pursed her lips, and said, "Today, I really caused you trouble."
"Silly girl, don't say such things anymore. I'll get really angry."
"Oh~"
She covered her mouth with a smile, her eyes rippling with a bright smile, feeling exceptionally happy.
After chatting with Qing Muye for a while, Meng Jingwei hung up.
As soon as she put down her phone, Xiao Cheng's call came in.
"Xiao Cheng?"
"Do you know about the news?"
Xiao Cheng asked directly.
"Yes, I've seen the news and I know. What's wrong?" Meng Jingwei asked knowingly.
"I told you before to stay away from Qing Muye, but you didn't listen. Look at the scummy things he does, he's into everyone! It's disgusting."
It was clear from the phone call that Xiao Cheng was somewhat angry, as if Qing Muye's actions truly made him feel that Meng Jingwei was not worth it.
However, Meng Jingwei couldn't help but recall what Qing Muye had said to her that night.
Qing Muye had said that Xiao Cheng was with her in the hotel that night, and Xiao Cheng had used her phone to text him saying he was with Xiao Cheng.
But Meng Jingwei could clearly discern from Qing Muye's expression that things were not that simple.
Because after that day, Qing Muye's reaction was very strong, showing her extreme rejection and even disgust.
She wondered what had happened that night.
"Thank you for telling me this." Meng Jingwei sighed. "I didn't expect something like this to happen either. Although you usually seem like a carefree playboy, when we interact privately, you're actually more straightforward than Qing Muye."
"Of course."
Meng Jingwei: "..."
She didn't expect Xiao Cheng to answer so casually, without any guilt or unease.
"I know what you want to say. I'm a bit tired today, I'll hang up now."
"Do you want to go out for a drink?"
Xiao Cheng seemed to sense that Meng Jingwei was in a bad mood and thought she was sad because of Qing Muye's matter.
In reality, Meng Jingwei simply didn't want to deal with such a despicable and shameless person.
Although Qing Muye's actions had been despicable before, he at least never played dirty tricks.
But Xiao Cheng was a complete scoundrel, and he had even shamelessly installed spyware on her phone.
Did he really think she had wasted her university years?
"Tomorrow. I'm a bit tired today."
"If that's the case, then you should rest well."
Seeing that Meng Jingwei was insistent on not coming out, Xiao Cheng had nothing more to say and directly hung up.
Leaning on the bed, Meng Jingwei thought about it. She still wanted to know what had happened that night. So she took out her laptop, infiltrated the surveillance system, and after searching for a long time, she finally found the scene where Qing Sihai parked his car and asked Xiao Cheng to drive her.
The surveillance video showed Qing Sihai getting out of his car, smiling at Xiao Cheng, patting his shoulder familiarly, and then Xiao Cheng getting into the car to take her to the hotel.
Although Meng Jingwei had suspected that Xiao Cheng and Qing Sihai were colluding in secret, it was only at this moment that she realized Qing Sihai and Xiao Cheng had already been working together in secret.
Especially that night's family dinner, Meng Jingwei herself was not drunk, so why did she sleep so soundly that she didn't even know how she got to the hotel?
The more she thought about it, the more chilling it became.
Meng Jingwei instantly guessed what had happened.
She closed her laptop and sat on the head of the bed, deep in thought. After a while, she called Xiao Cheng again, "Do you want to go out for a drink?"
The other party was silent for a moment, then readily agreed, "I knew you were in a bad mood. Let's go, the usual spot."
He was referring to the roadside stall where they had eaten before.
"Okay."
Meng Jingwei hung up, picked up her coat, and went downstairs. She drove directly there.
After sitting at the roadside stall for a while, Xiao Cheng arrived.
He was wearing a beige trench coat, as handsome and dashing as ever, with a hint of the carefree demeanor of a young master.
"I've been waiting for you."
Meng Jingwei smiled and pointed to the wine on the table, "Come, let's drink."
Xiao Cheng moved his chair and sat opposite her. Looking at the white wine on the table, he appeared worried. "Are you sad because of him?"
"No."
Meng Jingwei shook her head and answered affirmatively.
However, such an answer confirmed Xiao Cheng's thoughts.
That is…
Meng Jingwei came out for a drink late at night because she was upset about Qing Muye kissing that wild man in public today.
To him, this was naturally a good thing.
Xiao Cheng was even somewhat delighted.
He just didn't show it.
"If you're in a bad mood, I'll drink with you."
He cheerfully poured himself a glass of wine, clinked glasses with Meng Jingwei, and they ate skewers and drank.
They ate and chatted, the atmosphere quite harmonious, and Meng Jingwei's 'low mood' gradually eased.
"By the way, I need to make a call. Shu Yao called me in the afternoon to ask me to have dinner together, and I forgot about her."
Meng Jingwei said, pulling out her phone from her pocket and tapping the screen. "Oh no, my phone is dead. Shu Yao will probably be furious if she can't reach me."
"Use my phone to call her."
Xiao Cheng directly handed his phone to Meng Jingwei. "I have her number."
"Oh, okay."
She nodded and reached out to take the phone.
Xiao Cheng unlocked his phone and handed it to Meng Jingwei. As she reached for it, she 'accidentally' knocked over the disposable paper bowl in front of her, splashing soup all over her clothes.
"Be careful." Xiao Cheng quickly pulled out some tissues and handed them to Meng Jingwei.
She took the tissues and wiped, but it didn't clean at all.
Just as the call connected, she spoke to Shu Yao while gesturing to the restroom at the roadside stall, indicating that she needed to clean the oil stains on her clothes.
Xiao Cheng didn't pay much attention. "Go ahead."
She then continued to talk to Shu Yao while holding the phone, still wiping the oil stains with tissues in her left hand, and turned to walk to the restroom.
In the restroom, Meng Jingwei turned on the faucet, continuing to speak to Shu Yao, and returned the phone to the main interface. She then opened WeChat on her phone and searched for Qing Muye's WeChat name. However, there were no results.
