Chapter 107 My Tears Are Fragmented

The commercial performance lasted only an hour, but in Ming Weiyi's eyes, Xia Wanfeng on stage was dazzling, like a brilliant diamond.

She truly hadn't expected to have such a formidable rival in love.

As the commercial performance was about to end, Mingwei, as usual, opened the short video platform to see how popular Xia Wanfeng was that night.

To Mingwei's surprise, Xia Wanfeng was indeed the most talked-about person, but the topic was Xia Wanfeng having a rendezvous with a strange man by the river.

The man's face was blurred out, but Xia Wanfeng's face as she sat drinking by the river was clearly visible.

Ming Wei could guess that the person drinking with Xia Wanfeng by the river must be Pei Ming. Looking at the photo, Ming Wei's hands began to tremble involuntarily with anger.

She thought Pei Ming had just had a meal with Xia Wanfeng; she never expected that the two of them, a man and a woman, would have a secret rendezvous by the river!
Mingwei also knew that she was not suitable to drive in her current condition, so she made a phone call to Tang Ying.

"I'll send you my location, then you can come pick me up."

From Ming Weiyi's tone, Tang Ying sensed something was wrong. "What's wrong?"

"I feel terrible, I'm going to your house to have a few drinks with you."

"what happened?"

"You can just come and pick me up..."

Mingwei also hung up the phone, afraid that if she said another word, she would burst into tears on the other end of the line.

The commercial performance had ended. While Du Lian was helping Qi Fei tidy up the venue, Ming Wei also mustered her last bit of strength and followed the crowd out of the mall.

Before leaving, Mingwei didn't forget to send Qifei a WeChat message.

"I'm really not feeling well, so I'll be leaving now. I'll leave the cleanup to you and Du Lian."

Inside the mall, Qi Fei, busy finishing up, had no time to check her phone, and Du Lian also assumed that Ming Wei was still sitting there waiting for them.

The ringing of his phone interrupted what Du Lian was doing; he answered the call from Pei Ming.

"President Pei, this matter has been resolved."

"Okay, I'll wait for you and Weiwei to come together."

Upon hearing Pei Ming mention Ming Weiyi, Du Lian subconsciously looked in the direction where Ming Weiyi was sitting.

However, Mingwei has also disappeared.

Du Lian did not hang up on Pei Ming's call. He looked around for Ming Weiyi, but to no avail.

"Qi Fei, have you seen Xiao Ming?"

Du Lian felt a pang of panic; he had managed to keep an eye on Ming Wei for Pei Ming so much that she had disappeared.

From Du Lian's distant voice, Pei Ming knew that Du Lian had not kept an eye on Ming Weiyi.

Qi Fei also stopped organizing the proposal. She looked around and then glanced at her phone.

"Xiaoming sent me a WeChat message saying she wasn't feeling well and had to leave first, asking us to clean up after her."

After saying that, Qi Fei quickly sent a message to Ming Weiyi: "Let me know you're home safely and get some rest."

Du Lian's mind went blank for a moment. If Pei Ming found out that Ming Weiyi was unwell and that he had lost sight of her, Pei Ming would scold him to death.

"Um...Mr. Pei, I'm so sorry..." Du Lian walked to a distance from Qi Fei and picked up his phone again, which was on a call.

"Are you useless? What were you thinking! Why didn't you tell me she wasn't feeling well?"

Pei Ming's angry questioning made Du Lian even more flustered. "Miss said she was just very angry, I didn't think that much of it..."

Before he could finish speaking, Pei Ming hung up the phone. Du Lian understood; Pei Ming must have gone to contact Ming Weiyi.

Hopefully, Pei Ming can successfully contact Ming Weiyi and bring her home; otherwise, he'll have a very difficult night. At the side entrance of the mall, Tang Ying's car slowly pulled up in front of Ming Weiyi, who opened the passenger door and got in.

Pei Ming called at that moment, and Ming Wei rejected the call without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, Pei Ming made another WeChat call to Ming Weiyi, but she rejected it again.

From the two calls that Ming Wei also refused to answer, Tang Ying guessed what was wrong. She tentatively asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Pei Ming?"

"Maybe it's more annoying than arguing," Ming Wei said, turning off her phone.

Since Xia Wanfeng is in Jiangcheng now, Pei Ming can go find Xia Wanfeng; there's no need for him to come looking for him.

In the SVIP parking area of ​​the mall, Pei Ming sat in his car and dialed Ming Weiyi's number again.

"Sorry, the user you dialed has turned off his phone..."

Ming Weiyi's phone was off, and Pei Ming was becoming increasingly worried about her current situation.

Pei Ming didn't know whether she was just angry or genuinely feeling unwell, but he began to regret deliberately provoking her today.

After returning to Tang Ying's home, Ming Wei sat listlessly at the bar. Only alcohol could ease her pain.

"Tell me, what's wrong?" Tang Ying washed her hands and prepared to make Ming Wei a drink with a low alcohol content.

“Pei Ming’s childhood sweetheart has arrived; I’m the one who brought her here.”

"what?"

"I just saw that they're both trending on social media: actress Xia Wanfeng was caught having an affair with a strange man..."

Tang Ying's expression turned even more shocked. "So the person who was drinking with Xia Wanfeng by the river last night was Pei Ming?"

"You saw this trending topic too?" Ming Wei wasn't surprised; she knew Tang Ying was always up-to-date with the latest internet trends.

"I asked Pei Ming back then if he knew Xia Wanfeng, and you said no. Now you're being honest, aren't you?"

As Tang Ying spoke, her hands were busy, and she quickly made a mojito for Ming Weiyi.

"Moreover, Xia Wanfeng was questioning Pei Ming today, asking why she wasn't the one by Pei Ming's side in the end, even though they grew up together."

After saying that, Ming Wei picked up the wine Tang Ying had given her and took a big gulp.

The mojito was very refreshing, and the mint and lemon juice made Mingwei's mind incredibly clear.

"Cough cough..." Ming Wei, who was choked, also coughed a few times while clutching her chest.

"How do you know what Xia Wanfeng said?" Tang Ying was very puzzled. How could Ming Weiyi have overheard such a private topic?

"Because I was right next to them, Xia Wanfeng didn't know who I was. She thought I was just an employee of the Ming Group."

Ming Wei just couldn't bring herself to dislike Xia Wanfeng. She even felt that without her, the childhood sweethearts might have ended up together.

"What about Pei Ming!" Tang Ying was a little angry. No matter what, Ming Wei was Pei Ming's wife.

He didn't say anything.

What saddened Ming Wei the most today wasn't what Xia Wanfeng said, but that after Xia Wanfeng said those words, Pei Ming seemed to tacitly agree that Xia Wanfeng could continue to like him.

"He didn't say a word even when you were next to him? And what about you? You didn't say a word either?"

"What can I say? I'm just an arranged marriage that fell from the sky. How can I compare to someone who's my childhood sweetheart?"

The sour lemon and slightly bitter white rum slightly aggravated Ming Weiyi, and coupled with the pain in her heart, her eyes inexplicably turned red.
