Chapter 443: Your Son is a Lost Cause (1)
"Who are you calling nasty?! Mom, Dad, look at my sister! What right does she have to call me nasty!"
Hearing Meng Sijia’s words, Meng Chengyu shot up from the sofa, pointing at her and complaining to their parents.
He’d lost count of how many times he’d done this growing up. In any case, his parents were always on his side, and even Meng Sijia wouldn’t hold much of a grudge against him afterward.
You could say that Meng Chengyu had become such a worthless playboy entirely of the Meng Family’s own making.
"Si Jia, don’t talk about your brother like that! And Chengyu, you too. Let your sister explain things clearly. What exactly did she ask you to arrange, and how did you handle it?"
Father Meng stepped forward and mediated impartially, getting Meng Sijia and Meng Chengyu to stop their bickering and return the focus to what Meng Sijia had been talking about.
Meng Sijia had been extremely worried ever since she heard the rumors spreading around the company.
The rumors were a word-for-word account of a conversation between her and Meng Chengyu, which made her certain that someone had eavesdropped on them.
And Meng Sijia knew full well that many of her conversations with Meng Chengyu could not be known by outsiders; otherwise, it could bring huge trouble for the Meng Family.
So, after the company identified Liu Fanglan as the one spreading the rumors, Meng Sijia adopted a "better to eliminate a thousand innocents than let one guilty party escape" mentality. She absolutely would not allow anything to happen that could cause trouble for the Meng Family.
This was true even though she couldn’t be sure if the woman had actually overheard her entire conversation with Meng Chengyu.
It was inconvenient for Meng Sijia to act herself, being at the company, and she was swamped with work in the entertainment department at the time. So, she told Meng Chengyu everything about Liu Fanglan’s situation and had him eliminate this potential threat.
Liu Fanglan did indeed have an accident, but Meng Sijia never imagined that after the news reached the company, they would actually find the incident suspicious and even assign someone to investigate!
And the person sent to investigate was none other than Lu Cheng!
Having been at the company for a long time, Meng Sijia was well aware of Lu Cheng’s capabilities.
That was why she had rushed home the moment she got the news. She had to confirm whether Meng Chengyu’s arrangements were truly seamless, and whether Lu Cheng would be able to trace things back to the Meng Family!
If there were any problems, they had to be prepared in advance.
"So that’s the situation. The investigator already left last night. Chengyu, what exactly were your arrangements? Are they reliable?"
Meng Sijia was filled with regret now. ’If I’d known this would happen,’ she thought, ’I shouldn’t have taken the easy way out and left it to Meng Chengyu. No matter how busy I was, I should have overseen it myself.’
"It should be... reliable enough, I guess!"
"What do you mean, ’reliable enough’? What exactly did you do?"
The moment Meng Sijia heard Meng Chengyu’s words, she knew something was wrong, and her anxiety spiked.
"You can’t blame me for this! Sis, you were in such a rush when you dumped this on me. What was I supposed to do?!"
Of course, Meng Chengyu didn’t dare admit that he had spent those days messing around with his good-for-nothing friends. He had just casually hired a few guys to handle the matter.
’After all, the only thing that mattered was the end result. As for the process, he couldn’t care less!’
The reason he was so late tonight was that he’d gone out to celebrate a job well done with that same group of friends.
