Chapter 325 An Indifferent Back View
Sheng Tingchen stared intently at the woman's indifferent back.
Early in the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year.
Sheng Tingchen and Rong Shu accompanied Meimei to the amusement park. It was crowded, but they were led by staff throughout the trip, and Meimei had a great time.
Sheng Tingchen took photos and recorded the whole time, carrying beautiful things and Rong Shu's handbag, playing the role of a model husband and father. Anyone who saw this scene would think they were a happy family.
The next two days.
Rong Shu took Mei Mei to stay at the Rong family home and took her to Biyue Bay to play with Ya Ya.
The weather forecast said it would be nice today, so they decided to go camping and have a barbecue in the countryside this afternoon, and fly kites with the two children. They invited Qi Yanchao, Sheng Tingze, and Pei Yu to join them, but Song Yan was still in Haishi and they couldn't make plans with her.
Jiang Huaixu will go to the hospital for a follow-up examination this morning. His injuries are recovering very well and he is no longer in any serious condition. Jiang's mother returned to Haishi yesterday, and there are two nannies taking care of their daily lives.
Rong Shu handed Mei Mei over to Jiang Yu to look after, and then accompanied Jiang Huaixu to the hospital, driving him there.
Upon arriving at the hospital, an examination revealed that the wound on my back had mostly scabbed over, but a large patch of bruising had not completely faded.
The doctor prescribed the medication again.
After getting the medicine and leaving the hospital, I unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.
Lu Xue walked towards the two of them and greeted them, "Professor Jiang, Evelynn."
Jiang Huaixu nodded slightly in response.
Lu Xue's gaze fell on Jiang Huaixu, and she asked, "Professor Jiang, are you here for a follow-up examination today?"
"Hmm, you're here at the hospital for a checkup?"
"No, I'm just visiting a friend. Judging from your condition, Professor, you seem to be recovering quite well."
"It's really nothing serious, so we won't disturb you while you visit your friend."
Lu Xue smiled and nodded in response, then stepped aside, and Jiang Huaixu and Rong Shu walked out of the hall.
Lu Xue stood there, quietly watching the two figures leave. Only after they had gone far away did she turn her gaze away and walk into the hospital.
Back in the car.
Rong Shu asked, "Did Lu Xue visit the professor before?"
Thinking back to when he saw Lu Xue at the hospital, she must have come to visit Jiang Huaixu. Lu Xue was also Jiang Huaixu's student, having taught their class. However, since her class was pursuing graduate studies, Jiang Huaixu was no longer their advisor.
Jiang Huaixu hummed in agreement. "She's now working at Yunshan, as Sheng Tingchen's assistant, you know that?"
Rong Shu started the accelerator and said, "I know, I saw him once before at Spruce."
Jiang Huaixu and Rong Shu didn't discuss Lu Xue much.
Twenty minutes later.
Rong Shu parked her car in the parking lot of a high-end shopping mall, preparing ingredients for her camping barbecue this afternoon.
We arrived inside the mall.
Jiang Huaixu reached for the cart, but Rong Shu said, "You're a patient now, let me do it!"
Jiang Huaixu curled his lips and said, "It's not to the point that you can't even move the shopping cart."
Rong Shu smiled and said, "Professor, you can just be a hands-off manager for now."
Jiang Huaixu didn't argue with her, but quietly stayed by her side.
Rong Shu asked them in the group chat what they wanted to eat.
Jiang Yu told him what food he wanted to eat.
Pei Yu and Sheng Tingze are fine with anything.
The two went to the seafood and meat section, and then picked out vegetables, seasonings, snacks and drinks...
Rong Shu pushed her shopping cart to the tableware section, intending to buy disposable tableware, while Jiang Huaixu picked out cups from the shelf next door.
A man and a woman were choosing tableware in front of her. The woman was very young and heavily pregnant, while the man looked to be in his fifties. The two were behaving intimately, and their relationship was clearly not ordinary.
Coincidentally, she knew this man—he was Mr. Liang, the president of a listed company.
Rong Shu knew that President Liang's current position was entirely due to the support of his wife's family.
At that moment, the woman suddenly said she wanted to go to the restroom.
As soon as Mr. Liang turned around, he saw Rong Shu. He was startled at first, and then greeted her, "Evelynn, I didn't expect to run into you here by such a coincidence."
Rong Shu smiled and replied, "Hello, President Liang."
When the woman next to President Liang looked at Rong Shu, a look of wariness immediately flashed in her eyes. "And this is...?"
Mr. Liang explained, "Evelynn is Rong En's investment director."
The woman couldn't help but look Rong Shu up and down, and couldn't help but suspect that she had become a director at such a young age, probably by using her body to get the position.
Rong Shu naturally noticed the suspicion and disdain in the woman's eyes.
"Then you go to the restroom first, I'll wait for you here," Mr. Liang said to the woman.
After the New Year, there was a project he wanted to collaborate on with Rong En, and he happened to run into Rong Shu here. He didn't want to miss this opportunity.
The woman was sensible enough to leave, despite her pregnant belly.
Rong Shu didn't want to talk to President Liang any longer and was about to make an excuse to leave when she caught sight of a middle-aged woman with an angry face walking towards her, accompanied by a young woman.
The young woman spotted them and immediately whispered a few words to the middle-aged woman, who then charged at them menacingly.
Mr. Liang had his back to the entrance and was completely unaware.
Until a sharp shout rang out: "Liang Dong!"
Mr. Liang's expression changed drastically. He turned around abruptly and saw that it was Mrs. Liang. His voice was filled with fear: "You... why are you here?"
Rong Shu didn't want to get involved in this farce, so she pushed her shopping cart and turned to leave, exchanging a glance with Jiang Huaixu who was walking over.
Before she could even take a step, she heard a sharp, angry shout: "You bitch, you think you can just leave?" Immediately afterward, her hair was grabbed tightly.
"Ah!" Caught off guard by the sudden, forceful tug, Rong Shu winced in pain and cried out softly.
The woman tried to hit Rong Shu on the head with her bag, but Rong Shu pushed her away. Because she didn't control her strength, the woman was pushed to the ground.
Rong Shu rubbed her scalp, which had been pulled numb.
"Xiao Shu".
Jiang Huaixu walked to her side.
Only then did General Manager Liang notice Jiang Huaixu, and he was startled.
Enraged, Mrs. Liang was convinced that Rong Shu was Liang Dong's mistress. Seeing her niece lying on the ground, she picked up a plate and smashed it hard at Rong Shu.
Mr. Liang had no chance to stop it.
Just as the plate was about to hit Rong Shu, Jiang Huaixu blocked it with his arm.
boom!
The plate shattered on the ground.
Jiang Huaixu stared coldly at Mrs. Liang.
Mrs. Liang was startled by the man's gaze. Seeing him defend this woman, she seemed to belatedly realize something. Her gaze swept over her lower abdomen, and she finally realized that she had mistaken her for someone else.
All that could be heard was Rong Shu's cold voice, "Mrs. Liang, please make sure you know who you're dealing with next time."
Mrs. Liang wasn't an unreasonable person, and immediately corrected her attitude and apologized: "I'm sorry, I was just out of my mind. Miss, did you see where the pregnant woman next to him went?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Dong panicked, grabbed his wife's hand, and snapped, "Have you made enough of a scene? Aren't you ashamed? What kind of woman is pregnant?"
"..."
Jiang Huaixu looked down at Rong Shu, noticing her sudden dazed expression, and wondered what she was thinking.
He said, "Let's go."
Rong Shu snapped out of her daze, looked up at him, and hummed in response.
