Chapter 42: Denial
The cup of hot coffee spilled. Caught off guard, both of them were contaminated.
Chen Mengran stretched out his hand to wipe off the coffee that had spilled on his legs, and then looked at Li Mengmeng, who was also busy knocking off the coffee on his stockings.
Fortunately, it was only a few drops, and it didn't cause any burns.
"She has a ghost in her heart. Chen Mengran said to Li Mengxi secretly.
"It's up to you to say that. Li Mengxi replied.
"Oh, it turns out that you're Mengxi's cousin. After the initial gaffe, Li Mengmeng quickly returned to normal, with a stiff smile on her face.
Then there was a sad look on his face.
"Mengxi is my best friend, but I didn't expect her to ......" Before she finished speaking, her eyes were already red.
"It's really like acting. Li Mengxi scolded secretly.
Chen Mengran felt that this was not like acting, the sad expression was transformed very naturally, if it was acting, the acting skills were too high.
Li Mengmeng sobbed slightly, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her expression returned to normal. Asked, "Are you looking for me?"
"I'm looking for you to ask for something, something that belongs to my cousin. Chen Mengran got straight to the point.
A trace of panic flashed in Li Mengmeng's eyes, but she concealed it well, and soon said with an innocent face: "Mengxi's things, after her funeral, her mother has already taken her things." ”
"It's all gone, but it's still the same?"
"What's missing?"
"Jade Buddha. ”
Li Mengmeng took a deep breath to hide the panic in her heart.
"That jade Buddha, the day before my cousin's accident, I heard her say that it was lent to you. ”
"What do you mean, suspect that I took the Jade Buddha. Li Mengmeng's face suddenly changed and asked.
Chen Mengran didn't expect this woman to change her face when she said it, but he was also prepared, nodded and said: "That jade Buddha, my cousin lent it to you the day before the accident, and when my aunt packed up my cousin's relics, she didn't find it, so it seems that the Jade Buddha is with you, right?" ”
Li Mengmeng's face was pale, and she wanted to deny it, but she didn't know what to think, her eyes rolled, she looked at Chen Mengran, and said with a suspicious expression: "You said that you are Mengxi's cousin, what evidence is there?" I've been with Mengxi for so many years, why have I never heard her talk about you. Also, how did she sue you about Mengxi lending me jade?"
She asked three questions with a face, not only diverting the topic, but also pointing directly at Chen Mengran's identity, turning passive into active, this trick is indeed enough.
She also really had doubts about Chen Mengran, first of all, she didn't hear that Li Mengxi had a cousin named Chen Mengran at all. Secondly, Li Mengxi lent the Jade Buddha to her, and she didn't even inform her mother, how could she tell her cousin, which had to make her suspicious.
Chen Mengran didn't have any social experience after all, and was dominated by Li Mengmeng's anti-guest, so he panicked for a while, and forgot that the other party hadn't answered his own question, and said: "My cousin and I have been playing since I was a child, as for why you don't know, it's because she doesn't tell you, everyone has their own secrets." ”
"Oh, yes, since you know your cousin so well, then let me ask you what zodiac sign your cousin is, what colors she likes, what flavors of food she likes to eat, and what hobbies she has. ”
Another series of questions, Chen Mengran had already begun to feel overwhelmed, and at this moment, Li Mengxi had already given him the answer.
"My cousin is a Virgo, her birthday is August 27, her favorite color is black, her favorite taste is sweets and spicy dishes, and in addition to her English major, she has only one hobby, playing the piano. Chen Mengran told Li Mengxi the answer he gave him.
"You ......"
didn't expect Chen Mengran to really answer correctly in one go, and for a while, Li Mengmeng didn't know what to say.
At this moment, I heard Chen Mengran smile and said, "Not only do I know about my cousin, but I have also heard of you from her." You are a Leo and your birthday is August 17, exactly ten days older than my cousin. Your favorite color is pink, your favorite taste is spicy food, and your hobby is photography. ”
"You ......"
Li Mengmeng once again had nothing to say.
Chen Mengran was right again, she had never told anyone about these preferences, only her best friend Li Mengxi talked about it, but she didn't expect the other party to know, needless to say, it must be Li Mengxi who sued him.
"Do you still doubt my identity?"
"Okay, even if you're Mengxi's cousin. ”
Chen Mengran smiled, he finally turned passive into active again, of course, this is still Li Mengxi's credit, if she hadn't leaked Li Mengmeng's information to him in one go, it would not have been possible to let this strong woman submit so easily. However, his smile didn't last long, and Li Mengmeng's next words made Chen Mengran's smile freeze.
"That's right, the day before Mengxi's accident, she lent me the Jade Buddha, but I returned it to her that night. ”
"It's back, it can't be, my cousin never mentioned it to me. Chen Mengran shouted.
"I don't know about that, maybe, she hasn't come before she can tell you. ”
"You lied, obviously you hid the Jade Buddha, don't deny it. Chen Mengran finally couldn't calm down.
When he came, he had expected the other party to deny it, but he still had a trace of expectation, after all, the other party was Li Mengxi's best friend, and it was impossible to do such an immoral thing. But the reality is cold, Li Mengmeng still denied it.
"If it's not me, it's not there, believe it or not. Li Mengmeng said expressionlessly: "It's okay, I'll leave first, I still have a job." ”
"Don't go. Chen Mengran directly grabbed Li Mengmeng's arm: "Li Mengxi is your best friend, you can't do anything to be sorry for her." The jade Buddha is her family heirloom, the only token left to her mother, see the jade Buddha as if you see her, you don't want her old man to even remember the daughter of the old man. ”
Li Mengmeng showed a trace of guilt on her face, but then she turned firm and said: "There are a lot of things to remember, and it doesn't have to be the Jade Buddha." ”
"I know you have a crush on that jade Buddha, and that thing is worth a fortune, but you also have to know that if you don't pay it back, it will be like theft, and I can sue you, and you will go to jail. ”
"I said, that thing is not with me, I have already returned it to Mengxi, you don't have to entangle it anymore, otherwise I will call the security guard." Li Mengmeng shook her arm vigorously, wanting to shake Chen Mengran's hand down.
However, Chen Mengran used too much force, holding on hard, no matter how she shook it, she couldn't shake it off.
"Let go, security, there's a madman here. Li Mengmeng yelled at the security guard at the door.
Two security guards came over with batons, one left and one right, holding Chen Mengran's arm and walking out.
"Are you worthy of Li Mengxi for doing this, she knows how to do it, and she will definitely not let you go. Chen Mengran shouted at Li Mengmeng while trying to get rid of the security guard.
Unfortunately, his body was too thin to break free.
Eventually, he was pushed out by two security guards.
