Chapter 506 Did Not See the Person I Wanted to See
It was a last-minute decision to come here for dinner.
All the private rooms are already booked.
The two chose a seat by the window.
The food has been ordered.
Jiang Huaixu handed the menu to the waiter, then asked, "What are your plans now?"
Rong Shu took a deep breath and said, "What other plans can I have? Of course, I'll just live my life as it comes. I've signed the contract, so I'll have to work in City C for at least a year. When that time comes, I should be able to be transferred back to Beijing without any problems."
When I was transferred to City C, I signed a new labor contract.
Jiang Huaixu listened to her normal tone, as if she were seriously planning her career.
"Sheng Tingchen probably doesn't know that he and you have already obtained a divorce certificate."
"We'll find out sooner or later."
Jiang Huaixu didn't ask any more questions, and nodded, "Then let's start over from now on."
"Um."
"Would you like some red wine?"
"My stomach has been a bit upset lately, so I won't drink it for now."
Have you been to the hospital?
"It's nothing serious, just eat a normal diet."
"Alright then."
"..."
The waiters started serving the food.
The two chatted idly in a harmonious atmosphere. Warm lights shone on them, as if they were enveloped in a soft halo. People with outstanding temperament always attract attention.
Someone happened to capture this moment.
It wasn't too late after dinner.
The two left the restaurant.
Along the Jianghuai Road, "Would you like to take a walk to digest your food?"
"Alright."
It rained in the afternoon, and the air was exceptionally clear afterward.
The two strolled along the street, a short distance between them.
"The weather in City C is extremely hot and humid, which is really hard for people from other places to adapt to."
"I should be able to adapt. When it gets hot, I can go to the mountains to escape the heat on weekends."
"Indeed, the environment in the mountains is great for escaping the summer heat. Once the weather gets a bit hotter and I finish up the projects I'm working on, I'll have to consider taking my annual leave."
Rong Shu smiled and turned to look at him, teasingly saying, "So even the big boss can't just take a vacation whenever he wants."
Jiang Huaixu glanced at her, a smile playing on his lips. "If I want to take a vacation, I can take one; if I'm tired, I can sleep; if I'm tired, I can eat. You'd all be starving if you followed me."
"With someone as self-disciplined as President Jiang, this sounds unrealistic. We'd probably never have enough to eat in our lives."
Jiang Huaixu chuckled, tilted his head slightly to look ahead, and said, "Judging from the current wind direction, we're probably drinking northwest winds."
Rong Shu couldn't help but chuckle, "Now that we're full, it won't matter if we drink some northwest wind."
"Then you should drink less..." Jiang Huaixu said, as the vehicles coming from the front did not slow down and were about to pass through the waterlogged area on the road.
"careful."
Jiang Huaixu reached out and pulled Rong Shu into his arms, then suddenly turned around to block her path. The car wheels did not slow down and ran over the water, splashing water directly onto the roadside. Passersby were all soaked by the water and cursed the passing car.
Someone immediately took out their phone and called the police.
Rong Shu snapped out of her daze, looked up at Jiang Huaixu, and asked, "Did it get wet?"
Rong Shu shook her head. "No."
Jiang Huaixu looked down at the woman in front of him, his eyes deep and unfathomable. He showed no intention of letting go for a moment. Their eyes met, and the air around them seemed to stand still.
Rong Shu, on high alert, said, "Professor... you're wet."
Jiang Huaixu slowly released her, his expression unchanged, and said, "It's nothing."
Rong Shu took a step back and nodded. "Then, Professor, let's go back first."
Jiang Huaixu didn't say anything, just said, "Let's go."
The two walked back.
Suddenly, the atmosphere was no longer as natural and harmonious as before.
We arrived at the parking lot.
Jiang Huaixu opened the car door for her, "Get some rest early tonight."
Rong Shu: "Yes, Professor, please drive carefully on the road."
After saying goodbye.
Rong Shu got into the car.
Back at the Rong family home.
I saw Pei Yu.
"Brother, are Mom and Dad back yet?"
Pei Yu said, "You're back. You're upstairs. Aunt Zhang just said you brought your luggage back today."
Rong Shu nodded without offering any further explanation.
Pei Yu sighed softly, unsure of what to say for a moment. It was better this way; Xiao Shu could start a new life.
"I'll go check on Dad first."
"Go."
Rong Shu went upstairs to her bedroom.
Rong Qingwen is in good health; he just suddenly felt unwell today and went to get a checkup.
Seeing that her father was alright, Rong Shu was relieved.
Rong Shu returned to her room, washed up, and came out of the bathroom. She saw Pei Lanhua and said, "Mom."
Pei Lanhua stepped forward, took her hand, and said, "You'll be living at home from now on."
Rong Shu smiled faintly, "I'm afraid I can only stay for two more days."
Pei Lanhua was taken aback.
"I have to go to work in City C in a couple of days. If I don't go to work soon, people will think I own the company."
Pei Lanhua smiled and said, "That's fine then, it's time to go to work."
Going to work is better than idling around and overthinking.
Pei Lanhua didn't talk to her for too long.
Get some rest early tonight.
"it is good."
Pei Lanhua turned and left, returning to her bedroom. Rong Qingwen saw her and asked, "How are you?"
Pei Lanhua originally wanted to ask her what she thought about her divorce from Sheng Tingchen, and about the custody of Meimei.
But suddenly she couldn't bring herself to ask.
"We didn't ask. Asking would only put pressure on Xiaoshu. Let her process this on her own first, and we shouldn't ask any more questions."
Rong Qingwen sighed, "She must be feeling terrible, poor Meimei."
Meimei probably doesn't know that her parents are divorced, but how will she explain this to her in the future?
Pei Lanhua was furious. "That's the Sheng family's own doing. They were so afraid that Xiaoshu would take a share of the property that they couldn't wait to get a divorce."
Rong Qingwen's face was also pale. In the end, it was because he, as a father, was incompetent and let his child suffer so much.
"How is Sheng Tingchen now?"
"It should be fine now."
Before Rong Qingwen could ask anything else, his phone vibrated. Pei Lanhua went to get his phone, glanced at it, and saw that it was a call from Su Qingzhi. She then handed the phone back to him.
"Su Qingzhi's phone call."
Rong Qingwen took the call and pressed the answer button, "Qingzhi."
Su Qing asked, "Dad, have you had dinner?"
"We've already eaten. What about you? I heard Sheng Tingchen is alright now. Qingzhi, when are you coming back?"
Su Qingzhi: "I can't come back for the time being. Where's Xiao Shu? Is she home?"
Rong Qingwen: "I'm home today. By the way, does Sheng Tingchen know about my divorce from Xiao Shu?"
Su Qingzhi: "He just woke up today."
Thinking back to the moment Sheng Tingchen woke up, his gaze swept around the ward as if searching for someone, but he didn't see the person he wanted to see.
Once he was fully conscious, he didn't ask anything.
"so."
"How is Xiaoshu?"
"It's fine, don't worry, just take good care of yourself."
"Um."
