Chapter 520 Unexpected Yet Not Unexpected

Sheng Tingchen said, "What she wants is a complete and stable family. I'm preparing a wedding for her, and Meimei can grow up by her side. She can do whatever she wants. Don't you think this is good for her future?"

Su Qingzhi scoffed, "But it was your parents who made Xiao Shu divorce you; your Sheng family can't accept her."

"I admit this was unexpected. Whether the Sheng family accepts her or not is no longer important. I accept her, and if I want, I can apply to the court right now to revoke the divorce certificate."

"You haven't changed at all. Marriage is never a one-person affair, and I don't want you to appeal unless Xiaoshu is willing to remarry you."

Sheng Tingchen didn't say anything more.

The two fell silent, and the atmosphere became tense.

Su Qingzhi concluded, "If you could have even half of Jiang Huaixu's perspective on Xiao Shu's situation, she wouldn't have silently accepted the divorce certificate."

That's all.

He strode forward.

Sheng Tingchen stood still for a few seconds before following.

Su Qingzhi escorted him back.

along the way.

The two sat in the back seat, looking out the car window in silence.

Until the car stopped at the Repulse Bay villa.

Sheng Tingchen got out of the car. Su Qingzhi didn't say a word. Sheng Tingchen glanced at him, then closed the car door and turned to walk into the villa.

Let's go!

Su Qingzhi said to the driver.

The car slowly drove away.

Sheng Tingchen returned to the villa. The living room was dark. He walked to the sofa by the moonlight streaming through the window, leaned back heavily, and hid himself in the darkness. Only the faint light and shadows cast in from the window outlined his blurry profile.

The huge living room was so quiet that you could hear only your own heartbeat.

He remained silent, and no one knew what he was thinking.

I don't know how much time has passed.

His phone vibrated, breaking the silence of the night. He took out his phone, the light illuminating his face, and answered the call.

"dad."

Meimei's sweet, cheerful voice seemed to gently caress his heart, dispelling the gloom and softening his expression. "Meimei, you're still awake?"

Meimei said, "I haven't called Daddy today. I wonder if he's sleeping and eating well. The doctor said Daddy needs to rest well."

This was the doctor's instruction when I was discharged from the hospital in New York.

Sheng Tingchen: "Dad will get some rest."

"Didn't Daddy and Mommy have a wedding? When is it going to be held?" Meimei asked, her voice filled with barely concealed sadness and sobs.

Sheng Tingchen immediately noticed the change in her tone, "What's wrong?"

Meimei said, "Today Yaya said that Aunt Jiangyu and Uncle Jiangyu said that Mom will be with Uncle Huaixu, and that Dad and Mom are already divorced."

At this point, Meimei's voice choked with emotion.

Jiang Yu, Pei Yu, Song Yan, and Qi Yanzhao were having dinner together when they talked about this. Ya Ya was also there. Today, when Ya Ya and Mei Mei were playing together, the two children were chatting and everything was fine until Ya Ya suddenly asked Mei Mei curiously, "My mom and the others said that your dad and mom are divorced, is that true?"

Mei Mei immediately lost her temper and yelled at Ya Ya, who was so frightened that she burst into tears.

Meimei was so angry that she shouted at everyone present, "My parents will not get a divorce. They are about to have their wedding."

"I hate you all!"

Rong Shu was also startled and quickly went to comfort Mei Mei. Mei Mei nestled in Rong Shu's arms and asked, "Daddy and Mommy aren't divorced, are they?"

Rong Shu comforted her, "There's no divorce, Ya Ya must have misheard."

She pulled Meimei back to the bedroom and kept coaxing her until she fell asleep and calmed down, then Rong Shu left the room.

But Meimei wasn't asleep at all; she made this call to Sheng Tingchen.

Listening to her daughter's grievances.

Sheng Tingchen's dark eyes turned cold, but he still comforted Meimei without answering her question. "Meimei, don't overthink it. Dad will come tomorrow."

Meimei nodded and said, "Then Daddy should go to bed early tonight and come over early tomorrow."

Sheng Tingchen: "Okay."

I hung up the phone.

The man's face grew increasingly grim.

at the same time.

Rong Shu stood at the door and vaguely heard Mei Mei's voice inside, guessing that she was on the phone with Sheng Tingchen.

She didn't go inside. Instead, she leaned against the outer wall, head down, her eyes beginning to redden.

Jiang Yu and Ya Ya originally planned to stay here overnight, but after what just happened, they decided to leave.

At this time.

Jiang Yu turned back, looked at Rong Shu, and felt an overwhelming sense of guilt. He apologized again, saying, "Xiao Shu, I'm really sorry."

She hadn't told Ya Ya beforehand, but unexpectedly Ya Ya listened and even asked Mei Mei about it.

Rong Shu raised her eyes, composed herself, and said in a low voice, "It's alright, Mei Mei will find out sooner or later."

Jiang Yu looked at her like this and really didn't know what to say.

"Alright, get some rest!"

Jiang Yu clenched his fingers and nodded. "You too."

"Um."

What was supposed to be a pleasant gathering ended in discord.

Jiang Yu went out the door.

Pei Yu, Jiang Huaixu, and Sheng Tingze were outside. Sheng Tingze came over after having lunch at the Sheng family home. It seemed that Xiao Shu's situation was not much better than it was five years ago after her divorce. He could only watch helplessly, unable to help her in any way.

Everyone's expression was solemn at that moment.

Ya Ya leaned against her uncle and sobbed occasionally.

"Mommy, is Meimei still angry?"

"Meimei is asleep, don't worry," Jiang Yu coaxed.

Jiang Huai said, "Alright, everyone, let's go!"

Sheng Tingze and Pei Yu went to the hotel.

Jiang Yu and Ya Ya temporarily moved upstairs to where Jiang Huaixu lived.

inside the house.

Rong Shu composed herself outside the door before entering the house.

Meimei lay in bed with her eyes open, watching her mother come in, and called out, "Mommy."

Rong Shu smiled gently and stepped forward. "You're awake? Let's wash up first and then go to sleep."

Meimei nodded and reached out for her mother to hold her. Rong Shu simply held her little hand and helped her up. "Meimei has grown taller again. Mommy doesn't have much strength to carry Meimei now."

Meimei obediently got out of bed by herself.

Rong Shu gave Mei Mei a bath and tried to make her happy. Soon, Mei Mei's giggles filled the bathroom.

Tidy up.

Rong Shu lay on the bed with Mei Mei, patting her back. Mei Mei quickly fell asleep against her mother, and Rong Shu held her daughter like that.

Early the next morning.

Rong Shu got up early to prepare breakfast for Mei Mei herself.

Just as I was ladling a bowl of seafood porridge into a bowl and placing it on the table to cool, I heard the doorbell ring.

Rong Shu was puzzled, so she went to the door to open it. When she saw the man standing outside, she was stunned for a moment, but not too surprised.
