Chapter 322 Prioritizing Romance over Friendship

Sheng Tingchen said, "We'll go to the Fu family to pay our respects for the New Year tomorrow morning, and then take Meimei to the amusement park in the afternoon, so I don't have to go all the way to pick you up tomorrow morning."

Rong Shu said, "I'll drive directly to the Fu family first thing tomorrow morning. It's getting late, and I don't want to go through any more trouble."

Sheng Tingchen didn't insist. "Alright, you should get some rest."

after that.

Sheng Tingchen then drove away.

That night.

Rong Shu didn't finish watching Mei Mei's growth documentary until she arrived in Lingcheng. Mei Mei had truly been pampered and cherished for the past five years.

She wished that Meimei could grow up carefree like this.

That night.

She suddenly had a nightmare in which Meimei cried out for her mother, and Sheng Tingchen held the crying Meimei and looked at her coldly. She wanted to hug the child, but she couldn't touch her no matter what she did, until the man turned and left with Meimei in his arms.

She was jolted awake, the sharp pain in her chest still lingering, so real that she couldn't quite come to her senses for a long time. Lying in bed like that, she couldn't fall back asleep.

The next day, her eyes were puffy. She washed up, tidied herself up, applied anti-swelling ointment, and put on makeup to cover up her haggard appearance.

Pei Lanhua is going back to her parents' home today, and Pei Yu will drive Rong Qingwen and Pei Lanhua there. They will stay there for two days.

The journey is quite long, so we have to leave at seven o'clock to make it in time for lunch.

Pei Lanhua knew that Rong Shu would definitely stay with Mei Mei, so she didn't tell her to come with them yesterday.

After packing all the luggage and belongings, the trunk was crammed full.

"Xiao Shu, we'll be back on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Take good care of yourself these next few days," Pei Lanhua instructed.

"Don't worry, Mom, I can take care of myself."

Rong Shu said goodbye to them, "Brother, drive carefully on the road."

"I will. Take care of yourself. Call me if you need anything."

"it is good."

Watch them leave.

Rong Shu returned to the villa and made a phone call to Mei Mei.

"Mommy," Meimei called out in a sleepy, just-woke-up voice.

"You've got your baby back."

"Hmm, Dad is dressing me. Why didn't Mom come home last night?"

"Mom was a little tired last night, so she stayed home to rest," Rong Shu explained patiently. "We'll meet at Grandpa Fu's house later."

"it is good."

He and Meimei exchanged a few words.

When Rong Shu was about to hang up the phone.

Meimei suddenly said, "Dad, you should say a few words to Mom too."

The words fell.

A man's voice came from inside, asking, "Have you had breakfast?"

Rong Shu gave a soft "hmm".

Sheng Tingchen then said, "Meimei and I will be leaving around nine o'clock. When would you like to come over?"

"Around 8:30!"

"Okay, sure."

Around 9:30.

Rong Shu drove to the Fu family's house.

I happened to run into Sheng Tingze. Fu Ying and her family should have gone back to the Fu family home today.

"Xiao Shu".

Rong Shu closed the car door and walked over to greet him.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Sheng Tingze asked.

Although she was wearing makeup and looked no different from a normal person, if you looked closely at her eyes, you could see the fatigue in them.

Rong Shu asked, "Did you stay up late watching TV last night?"

"What kind of TV show is so captivating?"

You wouldn't be interested even if I told you.

"If you didn't tell me, how could you not know I wasn't interested?"

Rong Shu then mentioned a documentary she had watched before.

"You've worked hard all year, and you still haven't decided where to go for fun?" Rong Shu asked.

"I haven't decided yet. I originally wanted to ask Pei Yu out, but if he had time now, it'd probably all be taken up by Jiang Yu. Sigh, don't you think your brother prioritizes women over friends?"

Listening to his "complaints," Rong Shu couldn't help but smile, her eyes softening.

A breeze swept by, gently lifting the strands of hair at her temples, and the sunlight fell on her face, soft and moving.

Sheng Tingze looked at the woman in front of him with such tenderness, but there was an untouchable bitterness in his gentle eyes.

Even knowing the hope is slim.

But how can I be willing to give up before the very end?

At this time.

A Rolls-Royce slowly came to a stop.

The car door opened.
