Chapter 424 I Won't Go on a Blind Date
Yunshan CEO's office.
Sheng Tingchen is on the phone with Meimei, who suddenly felt unwell this morning.
Did Mom call Meimei?
Meimei's soft, sweet voice came through, "Mom is getting treatment, that's why she hasn't called Meimei. I'll visit Mom when I'm better, so she won't worry."
Sheng Tingchen's brows furrowed with heartache, but a dark glint shone deep within his eyes. "Meimei is a good child."
Shen Yurong took the phone and said a few words to Sheng Tingchen. Just as Sheng Tingchen was about to hang up,
Once outside, Shen Yurong couldn't help but speak up, "Tingchen, a woman like Rong Shu isn't worth your effort at all. As a mother, if she truly loved her child, would she bear to see her child's hopes unfulfilled, instead of thinking about living a good life with you and providing a good family environment for the child?"
Sheng Tingchen did not interrupt Shen Yurong.
Shen Yurong became angrier as she spoke, saying, "I think she really knows you'll compromise with her because of Meimei. She just wants to control you and get revenge on you, making you never have a moment's peace. This kind of selfish and vicious woman will only take advantage of you the more you give in. Even if you don't get a divorce, her heart isn't with you and Meimei. She won't think about how to manage a family well, and Meimei won't feel secure."
Sheng Tingchen's grip on his phone tightened involuntarily.
"Mom, you take good care of Meimei first."
After all, he's his own son.
Shen Yurong could tell that his tone was different from before, so he wasn't completely ignoring her. She breathed a slight sigh of relief. "I'll take good care of Meimei, don't worry. Tingchen, think it over carefully."
"Um."
I hung up the phone.
Sheng Tingchen placed his phone on his desk.
His handsome face was deep and thoughtful; it was impossible to know what he was thinking at that moment.
buzzing.
His phone vibrated again.
He picked up his phone, saw the caller ID, and answered the call, "Hello!"
Hearing the man's emotionless voice, Rong Shu tightened her grip and asked, "Are you at the company?"
Sheng Tingchen gave a faint "hmm," and asked, "What is it?"
How could Rong Shu not notice the change in his attitude?
There was no reply from the woman.
Sheng Tingchen said, "Nothing else, I'll hang up now."
Rong Shu asked, "Where's Meimei?"
"Call her if you miss her."
"Your mom answered the phone last night. Since she was with Meimei, it wasn't convenient for me to call back. Since you're at the company now, when you get back, if it's convenient for Meimei, could you please send me a message?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
half an hour.
The man said, "I went back and Meimei is already asleep. We'll talk about it tomorrow!"
Rong Shu hummed in agreement. "Okay, then I won't bother you. You go ahead and do your work!"
talking.
She was about to put down her phone and hang up.
The man's deep voice came again, asking, "How are you feeling?"
Rong Shu paused for a moment, then replied, "It's fine. I saw a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in H City today."
Sheng Tingchen, "Didn't you return to Beijing?"
Rong Shu: "I had one acupuncture and physiotherapy session today, and I'll have another session tomorrow. I'll stay here for the night."
Sheng Tingchen, "What are the effects of acupuncture?"
Rong Shu: "I feel alright."
Sheng Tingchen said, "Hmm." He didn't ask any more questions. "Then get some rest."
"..."
I hung up the phone.
Sheng Tingchen put his phone aside and continued working.
Rong Shu had just put down her phone when Pei Lanhua swiped her card and came in, carrying a freshly warmed bowl of traditional Chinese medicine. She stepped forward and asked, "Who were you talking to on the phone?"
Rong Shu didn't hide anything and said, "Sheng Tingchen."
Pei Lanhua's expression darkened, and she asked, "Did he call you?"
Rong Shu, "I want to ask him about Mei Mei's situation."
Pei Lanhua: "Then why not contact Meimei directly?"
Rong Shu: "Meimei is with her grandmother now."
Pei Lanhua instantly guessed what was going on: the Sheng family must be very dissatisfied with Xiao Shu and probably hoped that Sheng Tingchen would get a divorce as soon as possible.
The Sheng family must know that Sheng Tingchen took Xiao Shu to Australia this time. Knowing that Xiao Shu has a mental illness, they will only be more disgusted with her.
Sheng Tingchen is not getting a divorce now, but such a marriage will not last long in the end.
She didn't ask any further questions, saying, "Take your medicine first!"
Rong Shu looked at the bowl of dark Chinese medicine. Before even drinking it, she felt extremely uncomfortable in her stomach, but she had no choice but to drink it now.
She downed the medicine in one gulp.
I almost threw up halfway through drinking it.
Pei Lanhua quickly brought her some warm water and patted her back, saying, "Just bear with it, it will pass."
After she finally finished drinking, Pei Lanhua gave her a piece of candy to put in her mouth.
After calming down, Rong Shu discussed with Pei Lanhua, "Mom, let's stop prescribing medicine for now after we finish these five days' worth."
Pei Lanhua knew that she disliked drinking Chinese medicine since she was a child, and often secretly poured it away when she was in school.
Pei Lanhua said, "Then let's finish drinking first and then see!"
Sheng Tingze lives next door.
He received a call from Sheng Tingyu and learned that he was in H City. Although Sheng Tingyu didn't say anything, he could still guess what was going on.
He raised his voice and said, "Tingze, I don't care what you did before, but you have to come back tomorrow to set me up on a blind date. Mom has already chosen someone for you."
Sheng Tingyu always respected what Sheng Tingze wanted to do. He also knew Sheng Tingze's personality: rebellious and independent. His family disagreed with many of the things he did, such as when he went abroad to start his own company. He knew that Sheng Tingze did not want to be bound by his family, so he supported him and gave him start-up capital to do what he wanted.
Knowing that he liked Rong Shu, she didn't try to stop him at first.
But seeing that he not only hasn't restrained himself, but has become even more stubborn, and since his father doesn't know about these things yet, he has no choice but to intervene.
Sheng Tingze's expression changed. "Brother, I won't go on a blind date."
"Tingze, I'm trying to talk to you nicely, but you won't listen. I thought you understood everything, but it seems you don't understand at all. If you won't go on blind dates, then I'll have your sister-in-law contact Rong Shu and have her talk to Rong Shu about you."
Sheng Tingyu's tone left no room for argument.
"Brother!" Sheng Tingze gripped his phone tightly, his chest heaving with intense emotions, but he didn't know how to refute it, only feeling an indescribable dull pain in his heart.
He knew perfectly well that from the moment Rong Shu and Sheng Tingchen got their marriage certificate, there was no possibility for them to be together. Sometimes he didn't even know what he was holding on to.
He couldn't remain indifferent to all the heartache and pain she had endured over the years. He regretted for a single moment why he had just watched her secretly love Sheng Tingchen. He should have taken the initiative to pursue her and tried his best back then. Perhaps Xiaoshu would have accepted him, and everything would have been different.
Sheng Tingyu didn't hear him and softened his tone, saying, "Tingze, I'm not trying to force you, I just don't want to see you continue like this. Mom is also very worried about you."
