Chapter 30 Soon to be a father
Upon seeing the two, Old Madam Sheng asked, "Is it all resolved?"
Sheng Tingze said, "It's all taken care of now. I really have to thank my sister-in-law. I'll treat her to a nice meal another day."
Madam Sheng said, "It's only right that I treat you to a meal."
"..."
After saying goodbye to her elders, Rong Shu put on her down jacket and left with Sheng Tingchen.
The driver had already driven the car to the front door of the living room.
Sheng Tingchen put one hand in his pocket, strode forward, and got into the car.
The road surface was slippery after it had just rained.
The maid helped Rong Shu walk slowly down the steps to the car door. The driver had already opened the door. Rong Shu supported herself with one hand on the car door and the other on the car seat. The maid carefully helped her into the car.
The man inside the car stared intently at his phone, texting someone.
After Rong Shu got into the car.
The driver closed the car door.
then.
The car slowly drove away from the old house.
The car was quiet.
Rong Shu hesitated and struggled for a moment before finally speaking. She turned her head to look at the man and said, "I am not feeling well right now, and I want to go back to my parents' home."
Sheng Tingchen turned off his phone screen and said in an unquestionable tone, "The child will live in the villa until it is born, and is not allowed to go anywhere else."
Rong Shu was taken aback, her fingers involuntarily clenching tighter. Sheng Tingchen definitely didn't want her to live in the villa.
"I can live in a villa, but I need to hire a nanny myself."
Liu Lihua and Wu Fang had previously cooked, washed clothes, and cleaned the old lady's room because of her scolding, but she always had a strange and sarcastic attitude.
Sheng Tingchen glanced at her but said nothing in the end, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Rong Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
Back at the villa.
Rong Shu told Pei Lanhua about this and asked her to help find a reliable nanny.
Pei Lanhua said, "I don't trust hiring a nanny. How about this, I'll come and take care of you myself."
Rong Shu said, "How can that be? The family still needs you to take care of it. You and Dad are having your wedding in a month, so there must be a lot of things to do."
Pei Lanhua said, "We can just hire a part-time housekeeper. The wedding doesn't need to be too grand. Just invite both families to dinner. It doesn't need to be so complicated. I'll discuss it with your dad later and then call you back."
Rong Shu said, "Alright then."
Ten minutes later.
Pei Lanhua called again, asking her to come and take care of her; this was clearly a pre-arranged agreement.
Rong Shu didn't know what else to say. With Pei Lanhua taking care of her, she did feel more at ease.
The next day.
During breakfast.
Rong Shu told Sheng Tingchen that Pei Lanhua was coming to take care of her.
Sheng Tingchen did not object.
Liu Lihua and Wu Fang looked quite displeased upon hearing Rong Shu's words, but since the young master had agreed, they naturally had no right to say anything.
After breakfast.
Sheng Tingchen then went out and left.
It was almost noon.
Du Zheng drove Pei Lanhua to the villa, pushing a suitcase and bringing her a lunch he had prepared.
"Aunt Pei."
Rong Shu stood at the living room door to receive them.
"It's cold outside, come inside!"
Rong Shu took Pei Lanhua to her room. She needed to take care of things at night, so Pei Lanhua would stay in the same room with her.
This was Pei Lanhua's first time visiting the villa. Rong Shu's ordinary bedroom wasn't very big, but fortunately, it had a good orientation. She and Sheng Tingchen didn't share a room, which was expected.
Rong Shu sat at her desk by the window eating lunch, while Pei Lanhua packed her luggage in the bedroom.
After eating.
Rong Shu led Pei Lanhua on a tour of the villa, mainly focusing on the first floor.
We arrived at the restaurant.
Then I saw Liu Lihua and Wu Fang sitting in the restaurant enjoying lunch, acting like the hosts.
Pei Lanhua frowned as she looked at it.
Liu Lihua and Wu Fang rolled their eyes at the two of them, making sarcastic remarks and rolling their eyes at them from time to time.
Pei Lanhua knew that Rong Shu was not having a good time in the Pei family, but she never expected that even the nanny could bully Rong Shu.
Pei Lanhua strode forward, about to say something aggressively, when Rong Shu stopped her, saying, "Aunt Pei, let's go out first."
Pei Lanhua was furious, but she didn't know what to say and followed Rong Shu back to the bedroom.
"They're just two nannies, what gives them the right to treat you like this?"
Rong Shu sat down, supporting her belly, and said, "Sheng Tingchen tacitly approved of their actions. In any case, Aunt Pei, please try to avoid them during this last period."
If a real conflict arises, Liu Lihua and Wu Fang might gossip to Sheng Tingchen and complain, which could very well lead to Aunt Pei leaving.
Although Madam Sheng claimed to protect her, it was only superficial; she did not truly accept her.
Pei Lanhua understood Rong Shu's meaning and couldn't help but tear up.
If it weren't for her father's company running into trouble and Pei Yu's company being unable to come up with the money, Xiao Shu wouldn't have had to suffer like this.
Rong Shu knew what Pei Lanhua was thinking, so she stepped forward to comfort her, "Aunt Pei, it's alright. I have accepted the result with equanimity. Even though the result is embarrassing, it has given me an explanation for my past. I have no regrets, and I will try my best to get better in the future."
Pei Lanhua nodded, reached out and took Rong Shu's hand, and said, "Okay, we'll all be alright."
Pei Lanhua told Rong Shu about Pei Yu's company. The cooperation they had previously discussed was progressing very smoothly in the financing stage, and they were both very optimistic about the company's future.
Rong Shu was very pleased to hear this.

Sheng Tingchen went to the Fu family.
But Old Master Fu did not see him. Fu Xiansong talked with Sheng Tingchen, and the two strolled in the courtyard. Fu Xiansong said, "The older the old man gets, the more stubborn he becomes. He used to admire you the most, saying that you were more mature and stable than your older brother. In his heart, you should handle your family, marriage and career perfectly, so his expectations of you were too high. Now he is just a little angry."
Fu Xiansong learned the reason for the matter from Zhang Zheng.
Of course, under Fu Lao's educational philosophy, Fu Xiansong attached great importance to family harmony, so it was impossible for his political enemies to start with his family.
He could understand Mr. Fu's actions.
From Sheng Tingchen's perspective, he was indeed forced to marry his wife, so it's normal for him to harbor resentment.
Sheng Tingchen said calmly, "I have indeed disappointed Grandpa Fu."
Fu Xiansong suddenly stopped and looked at Sheng Tingchen seriously, asking, "So what are your plans now? Are you preparing for a divorce or something?"
Sheng Tingchen looked ahead and said in a deep voice, "The baby is about to be born, now is not the time for a divorce."
He was indeed planning to divorce Rong Shu after she gave birth.
But given the current situation, it's definitely not the right time yet.
He didn't want Rong Shu to disrupt his work and life, and he didn't want to deal with the troubles she caused.
Fu Xiansong nodded. "You're not one to act on impulse. You're about to become a father, so you should consider the unborn child more when making decisions."
He reached out and patted his shoulder hard.
