Chapter 420 Let Mom Go to Zhang's House First
Rong Shu sensed something was off about his tone. She turned her head and met the man's deep, shimmering eyes. She quickly realized what was happening, lowered her gaze, and said with a hint of anger, "I don't want to do anything."
Sheng Tingchen smiled slightly, but said nothing. "Then let's read a book."
He gave her a book written entirely in English.
Rong Shu took the book and went back to her room.
Sheng Tingchen didn't stop him.
When he returned to the room, Rong Shu had already fallen asleep on the bed. He walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, lifted the blanket on one side of her, lay down next to her, and put his arm around her.
That night.
Rong Shu didn't wake up in the middle of the night, but woke up very early. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a man's deep and handsome face. His hand was still on her waist, and his eyes were still closed as he was fast asleep.
Meimei, who was standing to the side, suddenly turned over.
Rong Shu glanced back and saw Mei Mei turn over and move closer to her. Half of the blanket on her body was pulled back, and she turned to the side and reached out to cover Mei Mei with the blanket.
She slept between the father and daughter.
She closed her eyes to rest until dawn.
Sheng Tingchen took Meimei to wash up and brush her teeth.
buzzing.
Rong Shu paused in changing her clothes, then finished dressing and looked at the phone the man had placed on the bedside table, noticing the incoming call.
She paused for a moment, then picked up her phone, hesitated for a second, and pressed the answer button. Before anyone could speak, she said, "Hello!"
Jiang Huaixu was surprised when Rong Shu answered the phone. "Xiao Shu, are you alright?" Her concerned voice was tinged with exhaustion.
Rong Shu tightened her grip on her phone and said, "I'm fine right now." Then she gave a soft apology.
"It's good that you're alright. Where are you now?"
When Sheng Tingchen brought Meimei out, he saw Rong Shu holding her phone and answering a call.
Sheng Tingchen did not stop it.
Rong Shu and Jiang Huaixu exchanged a few words before hanging up the phone.
"Mom, who are you talking to on the phone?" Meimei asked.
Rong Shu replied, "The person who called Dad."
She then looked at Sheng Tingchen.
"Let's go have breakfast first," the man said.
After breakfast.
Sheng Tingchen left the apartment with the mother and daughter.
An hour later.
They returned to the manor villa on the island.
The car slowly came to a stop.
Rong Shu entered the living room and saw four people inside.
Jiang Huaixu and Sheng Tingze both came.
"Xiao Shu".
Pei Lanhua walked quickly to Rong Shu and her eyes instantly reddened when she saw her. Rong Shu was wearing a loose long dress and looked much thinner, not as energetic as before.
His hand, trembling slightly, touched her cheek, grasped her thin shoulders, looked her up and down, and said in a tense voice, "Why have you lost so much weight? You've really worried me."
Rong Shu couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat and said, "Mom, I'm fine, don't worry."
Pei Lanhua reached out and hugged Rong Shu, "It's good that you're alright."
"Grandma," Meimei suddenly called out. Pei Lanhua slowly released Rong Shu, looked down at Meimei, and said, "Dad and I have been with Mom. Dad is taking care of Mom, so Mom will be alright."
Pei Lanhua bent down slightly, composed herself, and reached out to stroke her little head, saying, "Grandma knows. Grandma just hasn't seen Mom for a while and misses her a little."
Jiang Huaixu, Sheng Tingze, and Pei Yu walked up to them and observed that none of them seemed to have rested well.
Meimei greeted them one by one.
"Uncle, cousin, Uncle Jiang, you're all here."
Sheng Tingze stepped forward, picked up Meimei, and hugged her.
at the same time.
A figure stood behind a stone pillar on the second floor, glancing downstairs out of the corner of his eye. When he heard Meimei calling for her uncle, he couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart.
At this moment, he can only stand here.
Pei Lanhua's purpose in coming was to take Rong Shu home immediately. Although she didn't know what had happened to Xiao Shu, she asked Pei Yu, but he didn't say anything, so she stopped asking.
"Xiaoshu, come home with Mom."
Pei Lanhua held Rong Shu's hand tightly.
Rong Shu readily agreed, but when she saw Mei Mei looking at her, she paused. She walked up to Sheng Tingze, looked at Mei Mei in his arms, reached out and took her little hand, and said, "Meimei, Mommy will go home with Grandma first."
Meimei pouted, looking all wronged, and reached out for her mother to hug her.
Rong Shu said, "Mom doesn't have the strength to hug Meimei right now."
Sheng Tingze put Meimei down, and Rong Shu slowly squatted down. Meimei hugged her mother's neck and looked at her father.
Sheng Tingchen walked to Meimei's side. "Meimei, let your mother go home first."
"Dad." Meimei was very reluctant to let her mother leave.
"Mom just came home."
Mei Mei finally let go of her mother's grip.
When Sheng Tingze was about to help Rong Shu up, he saw Sheng Tingchen bend down and reach out, so he stopped. Rong Shu stood up and looked up at Sheng Tingchen.
Eyes facing each other.
Sheng Tingchen didn't say anything more, but simply instructed someone to pack Rong Shu's things, and gave Pei Yu the jewelry he had bought for her yesterday.
Pei Yu paused for a moment, then finally reached out and took it.
Rong Shu didn't have much luggage.
The doctor's prescription was packed into the suitcase, and Sheng Tingchen instructed, "Take your medicine on time."
Rong Shu gave a soft "hmm".
The car was already waiting outside.
"Xiao Shu, let's go!"
Pei Lanhua held Rong Shu's hand and walked out.
Pei Yu pushed Rong Shu's luggage, and Jiang Huaixu and Sheng Tingze followed.
Meimei gripped her father's trouser leg tightly, her red eyes watching her mother's departing figure.
When boarding the vehicle.
Rong Shu paused for a moment, turned her head to meet the man's gaze. In the sunlight, his noble face and dark pupils were calm and unwavering as he silently watched her. The wind passed silently, and Rong Shu's fingers involuntarily tightened. When she looked at Mei Mei again, a pang of sadness welled up in her heart. She whispered to Mei Mei, "Meimei, Mommy is just going home first."
Meimei nodded. "Mm."
Rong Shu got into the car last.
The vehicle slowly drove away.
Sheng Tingchen led Meimei back into the house.
Su Qingzhi came down from upstairs.
Sheng Tingchen asked Meimei to take the housekeeper upstairs.
Su Qingzhi looked at Sheng Tingchen with a cold expression. He didn't say anything to him and walked straight past Sheng Tingchen. Suddenly, Sheng Tingchen spoke up, "Did you and Jiang Huaixu discuss the acquisition data of Jintai International?" His voice was unusually deep.
Su Qingzhi stopped in her tracks, her voice unusually calm, and said, "I will compensate you for your losses in full."
Doing this would only force Sheng Tingchen to return to China to deal with the matter.
Sheng Tingchen suddenly laughed, a laugh that was particularly chilling. He turned to stare at Su Qingzhi and said, "Do you think I'll accept your compensation?"
Su Qingzhi confronted the man and said calmly, "Do whatever you want."
Eyes facing each other.
A brief silence fell, and the atmosphere around them seemed to freeze instantly.
