Chapter 265 How Could I Be Content?
She had always been curious, but she never asked, mainly because she was afraid that Song Yan would be reminded of her unhappy past.
Song Yan turned around and leaned against the edge of the washbasin, looking up at the ceiling, and said, "I don't know either, but I know that even without An Qingyue, we probably wouldn't have made it to the end."
Why?
"It seems there's someone else very important to him."
Rong Shu frowned and asked, "Who does he like?"
Song Yan sighed and said, "Probably. He always kept her photo on him, which shows how important it was to him. I just don't know what kind of person was in the photo that he cared about so much."
Rong Shu couldn't help but think of the pocket watch she had found in Haishi, which did indeed seem to contain a photograph.
The fact that he has kept it so treasured shows how precious and important it is to him.
"Did An Qingyue know?" she asked.
"It's his secret. I only found out by accident. An Qingyue probably doesn't know." He said with a mocking smile, "If An Qingyue knew, she would cry, make a scene, and even threaten suicide. She cares so much about Su Qingzhi's affection for her. Sometimes I really want to tell her and see her break down."
"If he's such an important person, then after all these years, it seems he's still all alone."
Song Yan replied, "I don't know."
Rong Shu wasn't particularly curious and asked, "So, Sister Yan, what are your plans now? Are you going to continue spending time with Lin Cheng and give it a try?"
Song Yan gave a helpless smile and said, "Let's give it a try!"
Rong Shu knew that she was making things difficult for herself, but she didn't know how to advise her. As an observer, she found Lin Cheng's first impression to be quite pleasant.
The two left the restroom.
On the way back.
As luck would have it, they ran into Su Qingzhi again, who was going to the restroom.
Su Qingzhi looked at the two of them.
Song Yan looked away.
Rong Shu didn't look at him much.
Just as they were about to pass each other by, Su Qingzhi suddenly stopped and said gently to Song Yan, "Have a good blind date."
Upon hearing this...
Song Yan's face darkened. She ignored Su Qingzhi and quickened her pace to leave.
Rong Shu listened to Su Qingzhi's words, which sounded like he wanted Song Yan to give up her hopes.
She couldn't fathom what kind of woman could hold such a mercenary man's heart so deeply.
Back to the restaurant.
Song Yan drank a large glass of wine, and Lin Cheng was at a loss for what to do when he saw this.
He glanced at Rong Shu.
Rong Shu took the initiative to introduce herself, saying, "I'm Sister Yan's friend."
Lin Cheng had a rough idea; he guessed that Song Yan was there to oversee the process.
"Hello there."
Lin Cheng greeted her.
Jiang Huaixu walked over and said, "Mr. Lin, why don't you take Xiaoyan home first today?"
Facing Jiang Huaixu, Lin Cheng felt an invisible pressure from him and hurriedly said, "Then I'll go pay the bill first. Since you two are Ayan's friends, this dinner is on me!"
Jiang Huaixu nodded and did not refuse.
Lin Cheng paid the bill.
The four of them left the restaurant.
Song Yan did not refuse Lin Cheng's offer to take her home. After saying goodbye to Jiang Huaixu and Rong Shu, she got into the car and left.
The two watched the vehicle slowly drive away.
Then Rong Shu got into Jiang Huaixu's car.
A window seat on the second floor.
Sheng Tingchen sat on the sofa, his gaze fixed on the Bentley that was slowly driving away, his eyes growing increasingly deep.
At this time.
Su Qingzhi walked over and returned to her seat.
Sheng Tingchen looked away from him and asked, "What are your plans for New Year's Day?"
Su Qingzhi said, "I don't have any plans. I'll just take advantage of the holiday to rest at home."
"Didn't your father let you go back?"
Su Qingzhi curled her lips, a bitter look in her eyes: "My father has a new family now, and it would be inappropriate for an outsider like me to go on a family reunion day."
He could sense that his father wanted him to go back home, probably because his wife had objections, which he could understand.
"And you? Will you be able to reunite with your family this year?"
Sheng Tingchen smiled slightly and said, "Yes! If you had gotten married back then, your child would probably be in elementary school by now."
Su Qingzhi said, "Everything is fate."
Marriage, children, and a family created a vulnerability for him, and at that time, being alone was the best option.
Sheng Tingchen was aware of this, so he didn't say anything more.
inside the car.
"Judging from the situation, Song Yan hasn't given up at all and still has feelings for Su Qingzhi."
"Su Qingzhi is not married yet, so I think it would be better to introduce someone more outstanding than Su Qingzhi to Sister Yan."
Jiang Huaixu said, "That's probably still quite difficult."
Rong Shu sighed.
"Professor, have you heard anything about Su Qingzhi having a marriage prospect or something...?"
Jiang Huaixu said, "I haven't heard of that. In recent years, he has been fighting for power with the An family, so he probably hasn't had time to think about his own marriage. If he gets married and has children, it will only be a burden to him."
Rong Shu suddenly realized, "That's true, but now, the An family can't do anything to him."
"Anyway, it's up to Song Yan herself! Everything will take its course." As he spoke, he glanced at Rong Shu and said, "You haven't even resolved your own issues yet, so don't worry too much about Song Yan. She's much freer on her own now."
Rong Shu turned to look out the window: "Yes, to be honest, I really envy Sister Yan. She's free and unrestrained, and has the opportunity to carefully choose her own life."
The woman's blurry profile was reflected in the car window, her beautiful eyes, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, were dark and impenetrable.
Jiang Huaixu slowly parked the car at the intersection, turned to look at Rong Shu, and said, "You are still young, and there are many possibilities for your future, as long as you are willing not to be bound by a defined identity."
Rong Shu turned to look at Jiang Huaixu, smiled and nodded.
Since they hadn't eaten much, the two went to the snack street and grabbed a quick bite.
Rong Shu didn't return to Repulse Bay until 10 p.m.
As she entered the house and changed her shoes, the nanny greeted her respectfully, "Young Madam, you're back."
Upon hearing this, Rong Shu paused for a moment, then looked up at the nanny. The nanny bowed slightly, maintaining a respectful smile as she looked at Rong Shu.
Rong Shu looked away without saying anything.
She took off the coat she was holding.
The nanny stepped forward and took it.
Rong Shu entered the living room and saw a man sitting on the sofa watching TV.
Sheng Tingchen looked at her and said, "You're back."
Rong Shu gave a faint "hmm," and asked, "Is Meimei asleep?"
Sheng Tingchen said, "She's already asleep. I was planning to wait for you to come back and coax her to sleep, but you haven't come back yet, so I put her to sleep first."
Rong Shu went upstairs.
Let's go check on Meimei in her room first. The little one is already fast asleep, hugging her rabbit plushie.
She sat on the edge of the bed and watched Meimei for a while.
Finally, he got up and left the bedroom.
Sheng Tingchen happened to be coming upstairs and stopped in front of her, saying, "Your things are all packed in the closet. Go wash up first, I'm going to the study to take care of something."
Rong Shu did not respond.
Sheng Tingchen went straight to the study.
