Chapter 22 Encounter
In the midst of laughter and conversation.
The waiter served the food.
After dinner.
Rong Shu accompanied Sheng Tingze to a nearby high-end shopping mall.
Since Sheng Tingze's mother's birthday is coming up soon and he hasn't prepared a gift yet, he took advantage of the time today to ask Rong Shu for some suggestions.
Rong Shu agreed, thinking it would be a good opportunity to take a walk and digest her food.
Sheng Tingze parked the car in the underground parking lot, and the two took the elevator upstairs.
We arrived at a jewelry store of a certain brand.
The sales assistant stepped forward to greet him. Looking at Sheng Tingze's elegant attire and noticing the watch on his wrist worth tens of millions, she couldn't help but sigh. Such a handsome and wealthy man, yet his wife dressed so plainly. They were not even in the same league.
It's really hard to guess what rich people have in mind.
The sales assistant had something on her mind, but she still flattered them on the surface. Knowing that it was a gift for an elder, she invited the two to sit down on the sofa.
The sales assistant laid out a row of jade jewelry on the coffee table for the two to choose from, with prices ranging from six to seven figures.
Sheng Tingze picked up a pearl necklace and examined it carefully.
Rong Shu said, "I think this outfit would suit your mother quite well, take a look."
She held a necklace in her hand and looked at Sheng Tingze. Seeing that he was holding a pearl necklace, Sheng Tingze lowered his hand and took the sapphire necklace from Rong Shu's hand.
The sales assistant then began to introduce the material and design of the gemstone.
Sheng Tingze glanced at it, nodded, and said, "It looks pretty good. Let's keep this set. Wrap this pearl necklace up too."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The sales assistant took the jewelry and put it back on the counter one by one.
Sheng Tingze got up to pay the bill.
The sales assistant carefully packed the gift and handed it to Sheng Tingze.
Sheng Tingze took the bag and walked towards Rong Shu, saying, "Let's go!"
Rong Shu hummed in agreement, then sat up, supporting her belly. As she stood up, she realized that the laces of her flat shoes were loose.
Sheng Tingze saw this, put the bag in his hand on the coffee table, and naturally squatted down in front of Rong Shu to tie her shoelaces.
The store staff witnessed this scene.
It's clear that the man treats his wife well, but his wife's attire doesn't resemble that of a wealthy woman.
The two of them had no idea what the sales assistant was thinking.
Sheng Tingze tied Rong Shu's shoelaces, stood up, and said, "All done."
Rong Shu thanked her.
As the two were leaving, they heard a welcoming greeting, "Welcome!"
Immediately afterward, Sheng Tingze and Rong Shu saw the two people entering from outside the store, and Rong Shu suddenly stopped.
Sheng Tingchen wore a black wool sweater with matching straight-leg pants, looking so noble and handsome. He held the hand of the girl next to him. An Qingyue wore a little red dress, with long hair reaching her waist, a slender waist and long legs, and beautiful features, like an exquisite doll in a shop window.
Sheng Tingze was also startled when he saw the two of them, but he quickly understood what was going on. He glanced at Rong Shu.
She simply avoided his gaze, but he saw the helplessness and embarrassment in her eyes.
Sheng Tingchen and An Qingyue went inside.
Sheng Tingze stepped forward and greeted him, "Cousin, what a coincidence to run into you here."
He ignored An Qingyue, asked her no questions, and everything was understood without being spoken.
Sheng Tingchen hummed in agreement and asked, "What did you buy?"
Sheng Tingze said, "My mother's birthday is coming up soon. I've already bought her a gift, so I'll be leaving now."
Sheng Tingchen didn't say anything.
Sheng Tingze turned around, picked up the bag, and said to Rong Shu, "Let's go!"
Rong Shu lowered her eyes and didn't look at the two of them at all before leaving with Sheng Tingze.
An Qingyue watched the two figures leave, then looked up at Sheng Tingchen and said, "They seem to have a good relationship."
Sheng Tingchen didn't answer, but said, "See what you like."
It wasn't until she had walked more than ten meters outside the store that Rong Shu reached out and leaned against the wall to let out a sigh of relief.
The man she used to rarely see is now always the one she has to witness, a man with his woman, in a happy moment. It's as if fate is deliberately mocking her, making her feel embarrassed and ashamed.
Sheng Tingze looked at her with a serious expression. He subconsciously reached out to touch her back, but then stopped, tightened his fingers, and finally let go. "Let's go sit in the shop in front."
Rong Shu shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I think I'll go back first."
"it is good."
The two took the elevator to the basement level.
Got in the car.
Sheng Tingze didn't start the car immediately. With his hands on the steering wheel, he finally asked, "What... are you planning to do now?"
He knew that Sheng Tingchen didn't like Rong Shu, but he didn't expect him to ignore her to such an extent.
The two acted like strangers. It was as if the child Rong Shu was carrying wasn't his. In fact, you could tell from her current state how much she was suffering.
Rong Shu had calmed down and returned to normal, saying, "We'll get a divorce after the baby is born."
Sheng Tingze was taken aback. "Divorce?"
Rong Shu hummed in agreement. "I'm going to the United States next year to pursue my doctorate. Everything will be alright, so don't worry about me." As she spoke, she turned to look at Sheng Tingze and gave him a relaxed smile.
Sheng Tingze looked at her.
He paused for a moment.
He beckoned and said, "That's fine, then we'll probably never see each other again."
Rong Shu smiled and joked, "You can come find me if you miss me!"
Sheng Tingze: "That works too."
He drove out of the underground parking lot.
along the way.
Rong Shu couldn't help but think of Song Yan's situation. She had assumed that Song Yan's father had met with Sheng Tingchen, but it seemed that wasn't the case. She wondered what the situation was like now.
"Do Grandma and the others know about your impending divorce?" Sheng Tingze suddenly asked.
Rong Shu came to her senses and said, "I don't know. He probably hasn't told the old lady and the others yet. They'll find out sooner or later anyway."
Sheng Tingze hummed in agreement and didn't ask any further questions.
They sent Rong Shu back to the Mantang Mansion.
Before getting off the bus.
Sheng Tingze handed the pearl necklace he had bought to Rong Shu, saying, "It's for you."
Rong Shu was astonished.
Sheng Tingze explained, "I didn't give you a gift when you got married, so I thought I'd give you one today. Now, I wish you all the best for the coming year!"
Rong Shu accepted it without any hesitation, "Then I accept your blessing."
"Um."
Drive carefully on the road.
Rong Shu gave a word of advice, then slowly got out of the car, waved goodbye to Sheng Tingze by the roadside, and then turned and walked into the residential area.
Sheng Tingze watched her walk unsteadily into the residential area until she disappeared from sight before he looked away.
He took out his phone and dialed a number.
The call was answered quickly.
"Let's go out for drinks, it's on me."
"..."
Rong Shu returned home.
"You're back. What did you buy?" Pei Lanhua asked.
Rong Shu said, "It's a gift from Tingze."
"Did you have dinner with Tingze tonight?"
"Well, the friend I was meeting had something come up, so I ran into Tingze and we ate together. Haven't Dad and the others come back yet?"
Pei Lanhua lived alone at home.
"Your dad will be back soon."
The two chatted for a while.
Rong Shu returned to her bedroom, put the necklace away, and checked the time. It was already nine o'clock. She wondered if Song Yan's dinner party was over yet.
I thought about it for a moment.
She took out her phone and called Jiang Huaixu.
