Chapter 199 "Since they're here, I'll naturally take them with me."
"Cousin, you..."
Sheng Tingchen looked at Sheng Tingze with a calm expression, his gaze drifting into the room.
Rong Shu and Jiang Huaixu also saw the man standing at the door.
Rong Shu was shocked.
How did he know he lived here?
Sheng Tingchen's gaze swept over Jiang Huaixu, finally landing on Rong Shu, and he smiled with a mocking smile.
He walked straight into the living room.
Sheng Tingze instinctively reached out to stop him, "Cousin, what are you doing?"
Sheng Tingchen glanced at him sideways, his dark eyes cold and his voice deepening as he said, "Tingze, do I need to remind you what you're doing?" The man's deep voice carried an invisible pressure.
Sheng Tingze stared at him with narrowed dark eyes.
Sheng Tingchen withdrew his gaze, walked to Rong Shu and stopped, looking down at her and saying, "Looks like you're living quite well."
Rong Shu looked up at the man and said, "It's none of your business."
Sheng Tingchen scoffed coldly, then said, "Come with me yourself, or I'll take you away."
Upon hearing this...
Jiang Huaixu immediately stared at Sheng Tingchen with a wary look.
Rong Shu said in a flat voice, her expression expressionless, "Sorry, I have an appointment today."
The man stared intently at her.
Jiang Huai said, "President Sheng, it is not the act of a gentleman to force someone to do something that is difficult for them."
Sheng Tingchen turned to look at Jiang Huaixu, his tone sarcastic, "So, Mr. Jiang is a gentleman?"
Jiang Huaixu spoke frankly, "A gentleman judges by his actions, not his intentions."
Sheng Tingchen's thin lips curled into a cold smile. "Then what is President Jiang doing here now? Is he just saying one thing and doing another?"
"Why I'm here, and why Xiao Shu needs someone to protect her, are questions that President Sheng is not qualified to ask."
Sheng Tingchen's eyes turned cold. "Then I really have to praise President Jiang's spirit of universal love."
"No need for compliments, Mr. Sheng, if you have nothing else to say, please leave!"
"Since they're here, I'll naturally take them with me."
Upon hearing this...
Xue Mingcheng stepped forward and stood to the side of Rong Shu, watching Sheng Tingchen warily. Xue Mingcheng was a retired member of the national special forces, and the aura he exuded was not to be underestimated.
Jiang Huaixu said calmly, "Since Xiaoshu doesn't want to go with you today, then she can't go with you."
Sheng Tingze stepped forward, his tone unusually serious, and said, "Cousin, even if you've hated Xiao Shu from the beginning, it's been five years. Xiao Shu gave birth to Mei Mei for you. Xiao Shu doesn't owe you anything now. She's not someone you can just summon and dismiss at will. I hope you'll respect her."
Sheng Tingchen stared coldly at Rong Shu.
Rong Shu looked at Sheng Tingchen and said, "Sheng Tingchen, I told you I have an appointment today, I won't go with you. I can apologize for what happened the day before yesterday."
A brief silence.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop by two degrees. The tense atmosphere in the entire space was suffocating.
"What...what are you doing?" a voice suddenly asked.
Sheng Tingchen turned and looked back at David.
David was startled when the man looked at him; it seemed like they were fighting over Evelynn.
He strode forward, looked at Sheng Tingchen, then at Jiang Huaixu, then at Sheng Tingze, and finally at Sheng Tingchen. "Tingchen, what are you doing here?"
Sheng Tingchen looked at him and said in a cold voice, "That's the question I should be asking you."
David said, "Of course I'm here to pick up Evelynn. She's my date today, so she's mine." As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Huaixu and asked, "Mr. Jiang, when are you coming to New York?"
Jiang Huaixu said, "Two days ago."
David said "Oh," without asking any further questions. He looked at Rong Shu and said, "Evelynn, go and get ready. I'll take you to choose a dress. I promise you'll be the most beautiful and dazzling one today."
Rong Shu ignored Sheng Tingchen and didn't look at him again. She replied, "Okay," and then turned and went upstairs.
David said to Sheng Tingchen, "Tingchen, you're here to see Evelynn? Let me tell you, Evelynn doesn't like you now. You should divorce her as soon as possible. Don't ruin my life's most important thing. I'm in a real hurry."
Sheng Tingchen glanced at him coldly and turned to walk towards the door.
"Tingchen!" David called out to his retreating figure.
After Sheng Tingchen left.
Jiang Huaixu asked, "What event is Mr. David taking Evelynn to tonight?"
David said, "It's just a networking cocktail party." Then, noticing the strange expressions on Jiang Huaixu and Sheng Tingze's faces, he added, "Don't worry, taking Evelynn is definitely for a proper banquet or event. It's just to help her relax."
"That's good. But I have a favor to ask: I hope Mr. David can give me one more ticket."
David looked at Jiang Huaixu, clearly hesitant.
Jiang Huaixu continued, "Evelynn is Mr. David's date tonight. I'm just going to check it out."
David paused for a moment, then said, "Alright then!"
Sheng Tingze chimed in, "I'll go too."
David glanced at Sheng Tingze again, smiled helplessly, and said, "This makes it seem like I really did sell Evelynn."
Sheng Tingze said, "Mr. David is joking."
David finally agreed, "Okay, let's exchange contact information. Just call me when you arrive tonight."
Thank you.
Jiang Huaixu left David's contact information.
A dozen minutes later.
Rong Shu came downstairs.
She only tidied up briefly.
"Then I'll be going now."
Jiang Huaixu hummed in agreement and said, "Be careful on the road."
David and Rong Shu went out, got into their car, and left.
David glanced at Rong Shu and couldn't help but ask, "What did Sheng Tingchen want with you today?"
Judging from the situation just now, it seemed like a fight would have broken out if he had arrived even a moment later.
Rong Shu didn't answer, but asked, "Is he going to the banquet today too?"
David said, "Yes, we are going."
Rong Shu said, "He came to take me there."
David suddenly laughed, a look of glee on his face as if he had won a game against Sheng Tingchen, and said, "You refused, and he got angry out of embarrassment?"
Rong Shu: "Not yet."
David lamented, "Looks like I'm too late; I didn't get to see a good show."
Rong Shu looked at him and said, "If you like watching plays so much, then you might as well stay home and watch plays every day."
David laughed, "I just like watching TV dramas. I like watching Sheng Tingchen's dramas. That guy is too arrogant. Sometimes I want to beat him up. I just want to see him cry his eyes out."
Rong Shu simply couldn't bear to imagine such a scene; in fact, she couldn't even conceive of it.
"If you want to see it, why don't you just have someone tie him up and beat him until he cries?"
"I'd like to, but this guy is hard to tie up, I'm afraid I'll lose my life."
"You're so timid, yet you still want to watch."
"Well, I was just thinking about it."
The car was quiet for a few seconds.
David then remembered something and said, "By the way, did Zhao Zheng cause you any trouble?"
The mere mention of this name made Rong Shu extremely uncomfortable, "but he does send roses every day."
David said, "He'll probably be there today too."
Rong Shu looked at him.
