Chapter 15 His gaze fell on Rong Shu
Arrived at the company.
Sheng Tingze arranged for a female employee to accompany and take care of Rong Shu.
A dozen minutes later.
The partner has arrived at the company.
Rong Shu stood next to Sheng Tingze, providing simultaneous translation for him.
The cooperation negotiations went very smoothly.
Rong Shu listened to their conversation. This large-scale game being developed is aimed at the global market, with an investment of up to 300 million yuan, and is expected to take at least three years to launch.
The talks ended at five o'clock.
Rong Shu felt a little tired.
Sheng Tingze instructed Rong Shu to go and rest first, and they would go out for dinner together later that evening.
Rong Shu called Pei Lanhua from the lounge and said she wouldn't be home for dinner tonight.
I sat for a while and then wanted to go to the restroom.
As she walked towards the restroom after asking a staff member, she heard Sheng Tingze's voice from ahead, saying, "I can't attend the birthday banquet tonight, Mom, please give my congratulations to my aunt for me. I'll visit her another day when I have time."
"..."
Rong Shu paused for a moment upon hearing Sheng Tingze's words.
Today is his aunt's birthday banquet.
The Sheng family's attitude towards her largely depended on Sheng Tingchen. Before, she would feel uncomfortable because of Sheng Tingchen's indifference and being ostracized, but now she felt nothing and her heart was exceptionally calm.
Perhaps he has already brought An Qingyue to the event tonight.
Sheng Tingze hung up the phone and walked over, where he saw Rong Shu. His expression froze slightly.
Rong Shu looked at him, curled her lips, and said, "I'm going to the restroom."
Sheng Tingze snapped out of his daze and nodded slightly. "Be careful."
When Rong Shu came out of the bathroom.
Her phone vibrated. She took it out and saw that the caller ID showed it was the old lady calling. She answered with a puzzled look and called out, "Grandma."
Old Madam Sheng's voice came from behind, saying, "Xiao Shu, come to the old house for dinner tonight!"
Rong Shu was puzzled, but quickly realized that they must have gone home early and not stayed for dinner, probably considering Chairman Sheng's health.
Knowing that she was pregnant with a daughter, the old lady's attitude towards her became gentler. She agreed and said, "Okay."
I hung up the phone.
Rong Shu went to find Sheng Tingze and happened to see him coming out.
"Grandma just called me and told me to go back to the old house."
Sheng Tingze hummed in agreement. "Then I'll take you back."
Seeing Rong Shu's current condition, he was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it, so he arranged for someone to find a translator immediately. The translator arrived around four o'clock.
"Then the partner."
"It's alright, someone will take care of you. I'll take you back later and go straight to the restaurant."
Rong Shu didn't refuse again, "Alright then."
Sheng Tingze drove Rong Shu back to her old house.
We arrived at the old house.
Old Madam Sheng was genuinely surprised to see Sheng Tingze and Rong Shu together.
"grandmother!"
When Madam Sheng saw Sheng Tingze, she was overjoyed; she hadn't seen her grandson for a long time.
She stepped forward and straightened his suit, saying affectionately, "Look at him, now he's quite the handsome young man!"
"Grandma, what are you saying? Did you think I wasn't handsome before?"
Madam Sheng laughed heartily and said, "You've always been a handsome young man. By the way, how come you're with your cousin-in-law?"
Sheng Tingze gave a brief explanation.
"If it weren't for my cousin-in-law, this project would most likely have failed."
These words made Rong Shu sound like a great hero.
Of course, Rong Shu could tell that Sheng Tingze was trying to elevate her in front of the old lady. In the entire Sheng family, only Sheng Tingze had always treated her the same way.
Madam Sheng naturally knew Rong Shu's abilities. Before she and Sheng Tingchen registered their marriage, she had someone investigate. Rong Shu was the top student in the city that year, with an excellent academic record and strong work ability. With such genes, the child born to Tingchen would definitely be smart and outstanding.
Moreover, a master fortune teller calculated Rong Shu's birth chart, and found that her chart was of a very high quality, perfectly matching Ting Chen's and capable of assisting her husband's future career.
Although it is a blended family, the family is harmonious and the relationships are not complicated.
So it wasn't just because Rong Shu was pregnant, but also because they agreed to let her into the family after a background check.
Of course, that master predicted that the two's marriage would not be smooth and that it would be very difficult in the end.
Sheng Tingze didn't stay long. "I have to rush to a dinner party, so I'll have to go now, Grandma. I'll come back and spend more time with you after I'm done."
Old Madam Sheng gave him a few words of advice.
As Sheng Tingze turned to leave.
Sheng Tingchen just happened to be back.
Rong Shu was taken aback when she saw him.
Sheng Tingze saw Sheng Tingchen and called out, "Cousin."
Sheng Tingchen hummed in agreement and said, "It's been a while. What have you been up to?"
The two exchanged a few pleasantries.
"I'm just dropping my cousin's wife off. I have other things to do, so I'll have to go now. We can talk another day."
Sheng Tingchen nodded slightly.
Sheng Tingze left.
Sheng Tingchen entered the house, saw the old lady, and said, "Grandma."
He ignored Rong Shu.
"What have you been busy with today? Your aunt is still talking about you."
"..."
Sheng Tingchen didn't attend the birthday banquet today, but one possibility came to mind: he was probably with An Qingyue. The two must have just parted ways, because she could smell the faint scent of perfume emanating from him.
It turns out that he, like ordinary people, finds it hard to part when he's in a relationship, wishing he could be together every moment.
An uncontrollable sour feeling spread through Rong Shu's heart.
Old Madam Sheng specifically asked him to come back for dinner; otherwise, he would have planned to dine with An Qingyue.
As they were talking.
The three of them sat on the sofa.
Rong Shu consciously avoided getting close to Sheng Tingchen, and instead carefully sat down opposite him, supporting her pregnant belly.
Thinking back, she realized that she had always overestimated herself and tried to get close to Sheng Tingchen, wanting to gain the vanity of being his wife.
In the end, she was the one who looked pathetic and ridiculous. No matter how close he was, he couldn't even see her.
Sheng Tingchen didn't pay much attention to Rong Shu's current self-awareness.
Rong Shu tried her best to look away from him.
Old Madam Sheng picked up the beautifully packaged velvet box from the coffee table, handed it to Rong Shu, and said, "Your aunt knows that our Sheng family is finally going to have a baby girl, so this is a special gift for you. Please take it."
Rong Shu was surprised, but she couldn't refuse. She accepted it with both hands and said, "Thank you, Grandma."
"Next time there's a chance, I'll introduce you to your aunt."
Rong Shu nodded and hummed in agreement.
While others gain status through their sons, she gained status through her daughter. However, this was only a fleeting moment, as Sheng Tingchen was about to divorce her.
Holding the velvet box in her hand, she listened to the old lady's words and her heart couldn't help but tighten. She cautiously raised her eyes to glance at the man opposite her.
Sheng Tingchen leaned back on the sofa with his long legs crossed. His face was stunningly beautiful, with typical handsome features that carried an aggressive, cold sharpness. His demeanor remained as noble and charming as ever, captivating all who beheld him.
His gaze was fixed on her at that moment.
