Xiao Meiyan did have some peculiar habits; she enjoyed "action films" and even liked collecting them.
However, her phone had very strong privacy settings, with passwords protecting her photo albums and videos, making them inaccessible to outsiders.
Little did she know that a single link sent by Meng Jingwei, once clicked, would expose all her private information!
Listening to the howling from the other end of the phone, Meng Jingwei's lips curved into an arc, and the weight on her heart immediately lifted.
"Phew..."
She leaned back against the booth's sofa, feeling as though Heaven had favored her.
Otherwise, Meng Jingwei truly had no idea how she would deal with Xiao Meiyan's threats.
Sitting alone in the booth, she fell into thought.
The noise outside the internet cafe booth continued. She quickly recovered, restored all the computers in the internet cafe to normal, and then opened the streaming software to watch the match between the "Zhao Yun Legion" and Donghua Province's top team.
Ultimately, the Zhao Yun Legion won with a 2:1 advantage against Donghua Province's team.
The victory was without suspense.
On her WeChat, Du Rui and Li Fan, partners of Zhaoyun E-sports, sent congratulatory messages, lifting Meng Jingwei's spirits.
She rested her elbow on the armrest of the sofa. As she was smiling, she suddenly thought of something and took out her phone to call Qing Muye.
The call went through after a while before being answered.
"Awei?"
A familiar and gentle voice sounded from the other end of the phone. His magnetic voice, even after hearing it hundreds of times, could still make Meng Jingwei's heart race.
"Are you asleep?"
Her tone was calm, betraying no displeasure.
"Mmm. Asleep." Qing Muye replied.
His soft three words struck Meng Jingwei's heart like a heavy blow, causing it to suddenly constrict, making her feel suffocated with pain.
Asleep?
She glanced at the time on her computer. It had only been thirty minutes since Tang Si had called him.
And he said he was asleep?
"Then get some good rest. I have to go."
Despite the bitter cold of the deep winter, the internet cafe was warm with air conditioning.
However, Qing Muye's words plunged her into an endless abyss, subjecting her to the cruel torture of extreme glacial cold.
The disappointment that spread from the depths of her heart made every pore of her body exude a chill.
Qing Muye had been abroad for more than half a month. During this period, when she contacted Meng Jingwei, she almost never called him at this hour.
Therefore, a sudden call must have meant something.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" he asked, concerned.
"It's nothing. I just wanted to tell you I'm going back to my hometown."
"Song Ci mentioned it's still snowing in Lancheng. Don't drive home," he said, as thoughtful as ever.
But this time, it brought to Meng Jingwei's mind the image of Qing Muye sitting with that voluptuous woman, with her arm around his shoulder.
She felt that his "thoughtfulness" was not limited to her alone.
Infidelity!
"Okay, bye."
Meng Jingwei immediately hung up the phone and got up to leave the internet cafe.
Stepping out of the internet cafe and onto the roadside, she looked at the empty spot where she had parked her car and felt that even drinking cold water would get stuck in her throat.
In her haste to stop Xiao Meiyan, she had parked her sedan carelessly by the roadside when entering the internet cafe. She hadn't expected that in just a short while, her car would be towed away.
She raised her hand to her forehead and sighed.
She flagged down a taxi by the roadside and went to the traffic police department. After paying the fine and towing fee, it took her quite a while to sort everything out.
Afterward, she bought a pile of nutritional supplements and went to the hospital to visit Lin Meng's child. However, the child was still in the ICU after leaving the emergency room.
While she was chatting with Lin Meng and Shi Ran in the hospital ward, Han Junyan's call came through.
Meng Jingwei walked out to answer, "Junyan?"
"Weiwei, are you home yet?" Han Junyan asked, then immediately added, "I mean back in your hometown."
"Not yet. I'll be back tomorrow."
"Let's go together. My company is also on holiday. I haven't been back to my hometown in a long time, so it's perfect to go together."
"That's great. I was feeling a bit lonely going back by myself."
"Shall we have dinner together tonight?"
"Sure."
"Hahaha, alright. Then I'll see you later."
After arranging a time, they both hung up.
Meng Jingwei put away her phone. Before she could re-enter the ward, she saw Lin Meng walk out. Lin Meng stood beside the ICU ward, looking through the glass wall into the room with expectation and heartache.
Because Tang Si had made arrangements with the hospital, Lin Meng was allowed to stay in a regular ward next to the ICU, making it convenient for her to see her child.
She let out a wistful sigh and walked over to Lin Meng, saying, "No matter how angry your mother-in-law is, she shouldn't have acted against you and the child. I suggest you call the police and make a statement."
"Yes, Sister Wei is right," Shi Ran also chimed in, "If you don't call the police to deter them this time, there will definitely be a next time."
Lin Meng leaned against the glass window, staring intently at the child inside, tears streaming down her face.
After a long hesitation, she nodded, "Okay."
Turning back, she looked at Meng Jingwei, her lips pursed, her hands clasped nervously, her head bowed, and choked out, "President Meng, I'm sorry for what I did before. If you hadn't helped me so much, I really wouldn't know what to do."
"We've met, no need to be polite."
Meng Jingwei comforted Lin Meng and added, "Take good care of the child and yourself. I'm still waiting for the day you can come back and help me."
"Yes, I definitely will," Lin Meng said, overwhelmed with gratitude.
In the evening, Meng Jingwei arrived at the Western restaurant as arranged with Han Junyan.
When she arrived, Han Junyan was already there.
Meng Jingwei smiled sheepishly, "Sorry to keep you waiting."
"Not at all. I just arrived myself."
As Han Junyan spoke, he poured Meng Jingwei a glass of water and placed it in front of her. He then handed her the menu, "Take a look, what would you like to eat?"
"It's alright, you order first. As for me, I'll order after my girlfriend arrives." Han Junyan smiled warmly and adjusted his glasses.
Meng Jingwei, who was drinking water, was startled and asked in surprise, "You have a girlfriend so soon?"
"I met her when I returned to the country last time. I pursued her for a long time before winning her over."
"Which little fairy is lucky enough to win your affection? You're truly fortunate."
"You know her."
"Who?" Meng Jingwei asked curiously.
"You'll know when she gets here later," Han Junyan said, keeping her in suspense.
Knock, knock, knock—
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door.
Immediately after, the private room door opened, and the person outside pushed it open and walked in.
The person who entered was a beautiful woman wearing a long woolen coat, with slightly curled long hair cascading over her shoulders, a khaki beret, and light makeup.
But when Meng Jingwei looked up at the newcomer, her pupils suddenly constricted, and a chill ran down her spine.
"Yun'er, you're here?"
Han Junyan immediately stood up, walked to Li Yun'er, took her handbag from her hand, and then holding her hand, led her to the table. He then said to Meng Jingwei, "You two sisters should know each other already, so I don't need to introduce you."
