Chapter 264: Chen Meng can be considered a peony

~9 min read 1,799 words

He Jiaxiao going abroad without a word is no less than a thunderclap on Chen Meng's head.

When I hesitantly tell them this news, Huang Weiwei's mouth hangs open in shock, and Chen Meng's body simply goes limp, and she collapses.

I hurriedly hold Chen Meng's body and whisper to Huang Weiwei to open the car door.

Huang Weiwei is stunned for a long time, then asks me with a hoarse voice and a crying tone: "What to do? What to do?"

"Send her to the hospital first," I say, and without hesitation, I carry Chen Meng into the car and urge Huang Weiwei to go to the hospital.

This is an unexpected turn of events. There has been no news from He Jiaxiao during this period. I thought he was being intimate with Chen Meng every day. This kid just pats his butt and leaves, leaving behind such a mess. Who is going to clean it up?

The Xuelai matter is still fermenting, but I can be sure that He Jiaxiao's going abroad has absolutely nothing to do with Xuelai.

The son of a Deputy Municipal Committee Secretary would not be forced abroad by a small hotel manager. But I vaguely feel that this is Aunt Wanru's idea. From Sister Xiao Mei's description, I can guess that He Jiaxiao's going abroad must be inseparable from Aunt Wanru.

Could it be that she smelled something unusual?

Chen Meng's head rests on my lap. Her hands are cold, her eyes are closed, and her wispy breathing makes one's heart hang in mid-air. Her black hair covers her white porcelain-like face, and one can clearly see her thinness and haggardness.

When we are about to reach the hospital gate, she wakes up slowly, looking at me with a pair of hollow and lifeless eyes, saying nothing.

I help her sit up. She sees the hospital gate at a glance, stares wide-eyed in surprise, and asks: "Why did you bring me here?"

"You fainted just now," Huang Weiwei parks the car steadily, turns her head, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Liars!" Chen Meng grinds her teeth and curses hatefully: "You men are all liars." She covers her face with both hands and cries out, her shoulders shaking, which is heartbreaking.

"Are we still going?" Huang Weiwei asks me, hesitating.

"Mengmeng is awake, she's fine. Let's go see a doctor anyway," I say, opening the car door and jumping out.

Huang Weiwei also gets out of the car with me, and the two of us stand by the car, waiting for Chen Meng to get out.

After waiting for a long time without any movement, I poke my head in and say: "Mengmeng, get out of the car, let's go see a doctor."

"Not going!" she says firmly, biting her lip, sitting in the darkness with a gloomy face, her hands wringing hard. Under the light, one can even see the blue veins on her fair hands bulging out.

"Let's go take a look, Sister Meng," Huang Weiwei begs: "Your body is weak. When you fainted just now, you almost scared me to death."

"I said, not going means not going." Chen Meng seems to want to bite her lip until it bleeds, which makes one's heart ache.

"Alright, forget it if you're not going," I say: "How about we go to the suburbs to relax?"

"Not going anywhere. Drive me to He Jiaxiao's house, I want to find him." Chen Meng seems to have made a great decision. She reaches out to smooth the soft hair by her ears, smiles miserably at us, and says no more.

Huang Weiwei looks at me hesitantly, and I am bewildered.

If Chen Meng goes to my uncle's house in the middle of the night to make a scene, this news will spread throughout the city before dawn.

The daughter of the Municipal Committee Secretary looking for trouble with the son of the Deputy Secretary, and looking for trouble regarding a romantic affair—how many people will use this gossip as after-dinner conversation?

When that time comes, where will Secretary Chen's face be? And where will Secretary He's face be?

I know Chen Meng's personality somewhat. From the time I met her until now, and from the past events Huang Weiwei told me, I can see that this is a girl who fears nothing, a girl who dares to bet her life on her freedom. How could she fear social gossip?

But I fear! If I take Chen Meng to break into my uncle's house at night, my original kinship will be gone. My Aunt Wanru will not tolerate my betrayal.

I must stabilize Chen Meng!

I sit in the car and say calmly: "Mengmeng, let's not be in a hurry. Whether Jiaxiao has gone abroad or not, and which country he went to, we are not very clear. How about I go to my uncle's house tomorrow to take a look, and then we make a decision?"

Chen Meng doesn't answer me for a long time. After a long while, she turns her head and looks at me contemptuously: "Do you understand He Jiaxiao?"

I shake my head.

"Since you don't understand him, don't give random advice! I know what kind of person He Jiaxiao is. He wants to dump me, humph! It's not that easy." She becomes unusually calm, as if talking about someone else's business, her tone flat and relaxed.

"Why aren't you driving yet?" she questions Huang Weiwei, reaching out to pat the back of Huang Weiwei's seat.

Huang Weiwei turns her head helplessly, looks at me, and starts the car.

"Let's talk for a while first," I say, signaling Huang Weiwei to turn off the engine. I get out of the car, go buy three bottles of water, unscrew the caps, hand one to each of them, and gulp down one myself. I am burning with fire in my heart!

"You won't help me? Fine, I'll go myself." Chen Meng opens the car door in a huff and jumps out, reaching out to hail a taxi.

Huang Weiwei and I also quickly get out of the car, standing on either side of her.

I deliberately pretend to be relaxed and say: "It's not that we won't help you. Can we be in a hurry for this?"

"Of course you're not in a hurry." Chen Meng's eyes blink, and tears drip out. She wipes them with her sleeve without any scruples, sniffs, and says: "It didn't happen to you, why are you in a hurry."

"That's not what we meant," Huang Weiwei argues anxiously: "We are all thinking of ways."

"What ways can there be? By the time you think of a way, it will have already landed." She points to her belly and says exaggeratedly.

Chen Meng is a reserved girl, but tonight, she suddenly becomes someone we don't recognize. She is like a woman in the countryside, speaking without scruples, spitting without scruples, and stomping her feet without scruples.

"Maybe Jiaxiao will come back after a while," I comfort her. I know this sounds pale and weak, and I can't even fool myself.

Chen Meng turns her head to look at me, snorts, walks away a few steps, and hails a taxi that is coming over.

Just as the taxi slows down, I jump to the side of the car in one stride and roar at the driver: "Get lost!"

The driver looks at me suspiciously and curses: "Crazy!"

I pick up a stone from the ground and pretend to smash his car. When the driver sees that it's not good, he steps on the gas and rushes past, throwing a sentence from far away: "Crazy, I f*** your mother!"

"I f*** your grandmother!" I jump up and curse at the taxi's taillights, throwing the stone in my hand hard, and it lands on the empty road with a dull sound.

Chen Meng bursts into laughter and says reproachfully: "Chen Feng, I can't tell you're actually a hooligan."

I laugh: "I'm not a hooligan. I'm brave." I deliberately knock on my muscular arm with my fist and say: "If he dared to come down, I would beat him until he couldn't find his teeth."

Chen Meng's mood seems much better, she rolls her eyes at me and says: "We know you're amazing, Town Mayor!"

I correct her: "Please call me Town Mayor!"

"Fine, fine, fine, Town Mayor, where are we going now?" Chen Meng's face clears up after the rain. From her fainting to now, it hasn't been an hour, and she is simply a different person.

I look at her suspiciously, not knowing what she has in mind.

Huang Weiwei pulls me and says: "Why are you still standing there foolishly? Let's go sing."

Her proposal is echoed by Chen Meng. The three of them get in the car. This time, Chen Meng and Huang Weiwei sit in the front row, and I roll to the back row, secretly letting out a long sigh of relief.

Xuelai is a landmine. The mine hasn't been cleared, and another landmine, Chen Meng, has popped up. One landmine could kill me, but if two landmines explode at the same time, wouldn't I be blown to pieces?

I suddenly feel a chill. Chen Meng, sitting in the front row, is not as simple as a landmine; she is simply an atomic bomb. Not only will she kill people, but even the land will lose its life!

To be honest, I didn't think much of He Jiaxiao being with Chen Meng at the beginning. What kind of person is Chen Meng? A proud princess! And what kind of person is He Jiaxiao? A young master soaked in a honey pot! The two of them being together is at most an interlude in life, not the main melody, because I know deeply that my Aunt Wanru is as conservative as a mother-in-law with bound feet in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Xuelai cannot be compared to Chen Meng. Xuelai is a wild flower by the roadside that can be thrown away at will. Although she threatened me that she would go to the Municipal Committee to find Secretary He, I know she was just saying it. She doesn't have the guts, and even if she had the guts, she wouldn't have the courage. Unless she doesn't want to stay in Hengyue City anymore.

Chen Meng is different. Chen Meng can be considered a peony! It is a flower of wealth, a flower that needs care, a flower that can look down on all other flowers. A flower that can look down on all other flowers, who can easily cast it aside?

Thinking and thinking, I feel cold sweat dripping down my back. ===== CHAPTER 265 =====
