"I just trust you, but that doesn't mean I'm stupid."
Leaning in his arms, Meng Jingwei said, "First, she claimed to be pregnant with your child, but the timing is completely wrong. Second, she said you slept with her. With your capabilities, even if drugged, you wouldn't fail to notice. I know your self-control and insight best. Lastly, let's talk about looks. You said... you didn't even fancy a peerless beauty like Shen Liannuo, so how could you fancy such common stuff?"
She trusted Qing Muyewith all her heart, but the moment the door opened and she saw a woman holding him from behind, she felt a pang of discomfort.
Thinking calmly, everything made sense.
"Makes sense."
Qing Muyewas graced with a look of relief, holding her and enjoying the fleeting moment of comfort.
"How is the company doing lately? I'm quite free right now, is there anything you need me to do?" The company was managed by Li Feifei, Du Rui, and Li Fan, allowing her to be a hands-off owner, so there were naturally things she didn't need to worry about.
The private detective agency, she partnered with Lü Sen, and it also had people managing it on her behalf. Meng Jingwei found herself with no particular use.
Being idle every day lately, Meng Jingwei found it a bit boring.
"Do you have time tonight? Want to watch a movie?" Qing Muyeproposed.
Their child had left with Meng Tianhua and his wife. Only Tang Si and Shi Ran were in the villa now, and returning early was also dull.
With rare leisure, Qing Muyenaturally wanted to compensate for the lack between them.
"What new movies are out recently?" Meng Jingwei hadn't been following cinema information, so she hadn't given it much thought.
"Are you silly?"
The man tilted his head, looking at the woman in his arms, "That sci-fi blockbuster you had scenes with Steve in, did you forget?"
"Oh, I remember now. I wouldn't have recalled if you hadn't mentioned it. I heard about it in the news, they said the movie's box office was quite good."
Speaking of this, Meng Jingwei listlessly leaned on his leg and sighed, "It has nothing to do with me, sigh."
She looked up at the ceiling, blinking her long eyelashes, and lamented, "When I was little, I wanted to be a model, and I even fantasized about being an actress, but I never had the chance. Having a scene with a superstar is also a way to fulfill a regret."
"Haven't you considered becoming an actress? Being an actress, starting a company, it's also very profitable," Qing Muyegave Meng Jingwei some advice.
"I'm already twenty-four. Who would want an actress now? Those people love fresh young meat, they wouldn't like me."
"As long as you like it, it's enough," Qing Muyelooked down at her resting on his leg, reaching out to stroke her hair. "Life is short, it's best to do things you enjoy."
Qing Muyefelt that Meng Jingwei's life had been too difficult, and that she had lived like a puppet, controlled by others. Now, he hoped she could live each day according to her own wishes.
"Do you have any film and television industries under your name?" Meng Jingwei suddenly asked. "I don't remember having one?"
"It went bankrupt."
"Ah? Your company can go bankrupt?" Meng Jingwei acted as if she had heard a joke, suddenly sat up, covering her mouth and laughing.
Seeing her doubled over with laughter, the man also chuckled, "It was profitable before, but then there were more companies, and I forgot about this one, so I didn't pay attention. It encountered people in the company secretly cooking the books and stealing company profits. Over time, the company's performance deteriorated, and only when it finally collapsed did I find out."
