"Are you sure this will really work?" With a big bow tied on his shoulder, Pei Qing's face suddenly turned extremely ugly.
After treating Pei Qing's wounds, Jing Meng turned to look at Pei Cheng, who hadn't said a word, and frowned, thinking about something.
"Seeing as you helped me clean my wounds, there's something I think I need to tell you honestly. Today's events were all planned by me, but I didn't expect them to really attack Cheng Cheng." Pei Qing bit his lip and told everything.
His words were like a boulder falling into the river, stirring up huge waves. Jing Meng widened her eyes in surprise, unable to believe that the person in front of her would be so cruel as to hurt even himself.
Seeing her thoughts, Pei Qing waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't misunderstand, I did hire them to act as kidnappers, but I didn't authorize them to do what happened afterwards. It seems they were taking money from two sides, and my scheme was obviously their stepping stone, so they could successfully obtain the chip's research data."
Pei Qing pushed the blame cleanly. After weighing the pros and cons, Jing Meng ultimately chose to believe what he said.
"You better explain to me clearly why you set up a scheme to deceive me."
Mentioning the reason, she clearly saw the loss on Pei Cheng's face. He lowered his head and was unwilling to say it.
Pei Cheng was being shy and wanted to save a little bit of face, but Pei Qing didn't care and revealed everything, "This matter has to be blamed on you. You said that you are usually most liked by Cheng Cheng, but you ruthlessly rejected a child. Where is your conscience?"
Jing Meng picked up Pei Cheng, letting him put his arms around her neck with a wronged expression. She had been thinking about giving him a good lesson, but seeing Pei Cheng's pitiful look, her heart softened again.
"Do you know that you're just a little kid who can't take care of himself? How could you participate in such a dangerous thing? If anything happened to you, how would I explain it to Pei Shiyi?"
Jing Meng's words were righteous. Pei Cheng also knew that he was wrong. He hugged her neck tightly, like a small milk dog who had done something wrong, "I know I was wrong, and I promise not to do it again. Please forgive me, Meng Meng, okay?"
"You..." Jing Meng sighed helplessly, but her heart felt uncomfortable.
Finding the 'real culprit' who took Pei Cheng away, Jing Meng breathed a sigh of relief, but thought of a very important question: what to do with the people who betrayed her for no reason?
This group of people first asked Pei Qing for money, saying that they could help him complete the whole play, but at the critical moment, they immediately betrayed him. Obviously, the person they were really climbing up to was still lurking in the dark.
"Don't worry, I'll find those people." Pei Qing hired the people. Even if they really disappeared, they would leave clues. Pei Qing took on all the responsibilities alone.
Compared to her own weakness, Jing Meng agreed without saying a word. Instead of wasting time on finding some pawns, it was better to protect other intelligent achievements in the company.
Pei Cheng pulled Jing Meng's hand, pursed his lips, and said again, "Sorry, Meng Meng."
Jing Meng touched Pei Cheng's head and said carefully, "Everyone is working for Pei Corporation, so we all focus all our attention on work. But you're different when you come to Pei Corporation. You're also a member of the Pei family and Pei Corporation. When people are resting, we can play together. What do you think of this kind of time arrangement?"
The reason for saying that Pei Cheng was a member was not to let him come into contact with the things in the business world too early, but to let him understand the importance of cooperation.
After some discussion, the two can be considered to have reached a cooperation. When Jing Meng was working, Pei Cheng would obediently sit aside and do his own things without saying a word.
When the company returned to everyone doing their jobs, Jing Hong appeared again. He originally went to ask Pei Gong some questions.
Coming to Pei Gong's office, Jing Hong acted like he was taking over, sitting casually on the sofa, "Have you really thought about driving Jing Meng out of the company?"
In Pei Corporation's laboratory, most of the things are handled by Jing Meng. This is also why she could directly enter the laboratory when Pei Cheng was kidnapped, and was able to retrieve the research data as soon as possible.
"Of course I want to drive Jing Meng out of the company, you don't have to worry about that. Right now, you'd better work hard at Jennifer's, as for the rest, you don't have to worry about anything."
He didn't want to lose face in front of Jing Hong either. Obviously, they were all doing things for the Pei family. Others could have obvious dominance, but when it came to him, he was a failure again and again.
Even if he intended to, Jing Hong was not easy to fool, "Do you really think I know nothing about the Pei family? If I remember correctly, Jing Meng was personally promoted by Pei Shiyi, and has the greatest power in the laboratory besides him. And you, it's true that you have used many methods as you said, but there's no way to drive her out."
Pei Gong secretly worried in his heart, but in order to save his own face, he smiled bitterly, "Do you really think Jing Meng only has one backer, Pei Shiyi? Don't be too naive. She sees it much more clearly than you. She knows that even if Pei Cheng is a child, as long as she holds on to his leg, then her future days will be better than now."
Jing Hong was listening to his description, but what appeared in his mind was the scene of Jing Meng rushing towards Pei Cheng without regard for her own safety. If he didn't know better, he would have thought she was the child's mother.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He snorted twice, "You better do what you said you would do with me."
Leaving a sentence, Jing Hong got up and left directly.
After returning to the company, Jing Hong was in a depressed mood. He was no longer so passionate about his work, but leaned back in his chair in a daze.
Walking out of the office, Jennifer saw him out of sorts at first glance. Based on the fact that she was taking care of him for the Pei family, she called him to the office when she had nothing to do at work.
"I heard that you've been having some trouble recently. If you don't mind, you can treat me as a trash can for venting your emotions. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your business." Jennifer smiled slightly, looking like a warm-hearted older sister.
Jing Hong's evaluation of her was already good. Hearing her concern, he felt a full of gratitude in his heart. He shook his head, "It's nothing big, so you don't have to worry about it."
"If you don't want to say it, I won't force you to say it, but if you want to ask for a leave of absence to rest for a few days, you can go out to relax. You don't have to worry too much about other things."
Jennifer's thoughtfulness made Jing Hong's drifting heart suddenly feel a sense of belonging, making him even more dependent on her emotionally.
