Chapter 25 Bad Rumors Spread
Rong Shu answered the phone and said, "Grandma."
"Xiao Shu," said Madam Sheng. "How have you been feeling lately?"
Rong Shu said, "It's fine."
"Okay, I don't have anything to do tomorrow, so I'll come see you and take you to the hospital for a check-up."
Rong Shu was taken aback.
Since she became pregnant and moved to Repulse Bay, Madam Sheng had not visited her even once. Why is she suddenly thinking of visiting her now and taking her for a check-up? It seems that she really cares about the child in her belly.
She has no reason to refuse.
"Okay, Grandma, but I'm staying at my parents' house these days. What time would you like to wait for me at the hospital?"
Old Madam Sheng asked, "Why are you staying at your parents' home?"
It seems that Sheng Tingchen really didn't mention divorcing her, but of course, it's not something she should be the one to tell the old lady.
She explained, "I haven't been home for a long time, so I wanted to come back for a visit."
Madam Sheng said, "It's alright to go back to your parents' home for a day or two, but you should still come home as soon as possible and take good care of your husband. Xiao Shu, you really didn't listen to what I said before."
Rong Shu stopped, gripped her phone tightly, paused for a moment, and said, "Grandma, I'm sorry, I..."
"Alright, let's do it at 10 a.m. tomorrow."
Old Madam Sheng interrupted her.
Rong Shu didn't continue, and simply replied, "Okay."
I hung up the phone.
Rong Shu put down her phone.
After composing myself, I headed towards my apartment building.
The next day.
It happened to be the weekend.
Rong Shu got up early to get ready.
Pei Yu took her to Huarui Hospital, a private hospital under the Sheng Group.
I arrived at the hospital twenty minutes early.
Pei Yu had other things to do at the moment, so after dropping Rong Shu off, he gave her a few words of advice and then drove away.
Rong Shu sat and rested on a bench in the hospital lobby.
About half an hour later.
Madam Sheng arrived at the hospital.
As Rong Shu walked to the door, she saw Old Madam Sheng entering. The old lady was wearing a black coat, a pearl necklace, and jade earrings. Her white hair was styled in retro curls, and her face was adorned with exquisite makeup. Her temperament remained as noble and elegant as ever, showing that she was a first-rate beauty in her youth.
Standing in front of the old lady, Rong Shu felt completely overshadowed.
"Grandma," Rong Shu called out.
Looking at Rong Shu, Madam Sheng said, "You look much better than before."
Rong Shu nodded gently.
During her time at home, she didn't have to do anything. Pei Lanhua arranged everything for her, not letting her touch any housework. The only thing missing was that he fed her directly. So she lived a relaxed and carefree life without any psychological pressure or burden.
She's lost five or six pounds from practicing yoga these past few days, but her starting weight is so high that it's not noticeable.
Let's go!
Madam Sheng had already made arrangements in advance.
Someone has already come to meet us.
Madam Sheng was enjoying tea and reading magazines in the VIP room while waiting.
An hour later.
The head of the obstetrics and gynecology department personally handed the report to the old lady. The fetus was in good condition. Looking at the ultrasound image, the old lady was filled with joy. "Look at that little nose and mouth, how adorable!"
The chief physician agreed, "It will definitely be a beautiful baby girl."
"..."
The old lady was overjoyed and couldn't wait to hold her great-granddaughter.
He was exceptionally gentle in his attitude toward Rong Shu.
After the inspection.
Rong Shu got into Madam Sheng's car, preparing to return to Repulse Bay. Rong Shu had no reason to refuse.
Sitting inside the car.
As she talked to her, Madam Sheng patiently reminded her, "After all, you and Tingchen have a child together. There's a long road ahead. You must fulfill your duties as a wife. You have to fight for your own future. Men won't wait for you forever."
Rong Shu listened silently and obediently responded to the old lady's words.
If it were before, and she hadn't seen any intimacy between him and An Qingyue, she might have still fantasized that since they had a child, she could try her best to hold on and protect this marriage. But now she has seen reality clearly.
Her marriage with Sheng Tingchen is about to end; there is no future for them.
The old lady has only changed her opinion of her now because of the children. In fact, she still hopes that she will be a good wife who serves her husband well and will not embarrass him in public.
I wonder if the old lady suddenly accompanied her to the medical check-up today because she already knew that she had moved out of Repulse Bay.
Are there any bad rumors circulating about Sheng Tingchen?
Although her marriage to Sheng Tingchen was not publicly announced, it was known to everyone in their circle.
Even if she is not good enough for Sheng Tingchen, their marriage is a fact, and she is currently pregnant. If the news that he has other women outside gets out, it will definitely damage his reputation.
The vehicle arrived at the Repulse Bay Villa.
Madam Sheng and Rong Shu entered the house.
To Rong Shu's surprise, Sheng Tingchen was home today. He didn't go to keep An Qingyue company. The man was sitting on the sofa reading a book, dressed in light-colored home clothes.
Upon seeing Madam Sheng return with Rong Shu, his handsome face showed no change in emotion.
Old Madam Sheng stepped forward and handed him the examination report, saying, "Take a look too."
Rong Shu sat opposite, watching the old lady's movements, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.
Sheng Tingchen lowered his gaze, his deep black eyes cold and clear. He put down the book in his hand and said, "Lunch is ready, let's eat!"
The words fell.
Rong Shu felt a dull pain in her heart, an outcome she had anticipated.
Old Madam Sheng glanced at him, but didn't insist. "Alright, we'll see later!"
We arrived at the restaurant.
Liu Lihua and Wu Fang prepared lunch and served it on the table.
Old Madam Sheng looked at the two of them, and the two of them noticed the old lady's gaze and felt inexplicably guilty.
Then, Old Madam Sheng said, "Taking care of the young mistress is your responsibility. I don't want to hear any gossip anymore. If anything happens to the child in the young mistress's womb, I will hold you responsible."
Liu Lihua and Wu Fang turned pale and hurriedly replied, "Madam, we will take good care of the young mistress and ensure that nothing happens to her."
"..."
When Rong Shu heard the old lady's words, it seemed that Liu Lihua had gossiped to the old lady again, which confirmed her guess. These words served two purposes: firstly, to reprimand the two of them, and secondly, to tell her to stay here properly.
Sheng Tingchen listened to the old lady's words in silence.
After lunch.
Sheng Tingchen chatted with Old Madam Sheng for a while, and Rong Shu went to the restroom. When she came back, she heard the two of them mentioning the COSCO Shipping Investment project.
The reason Rong En was able to win was because Old Master Fu gave him a hand behind the scenes, and Sheng Tingchen only just received the news.
She only learned that the Fu family and the Sheng family had a close relationship after she married into the Sheng family.
"Your Grandpa Fu has a problem with you now, so you should behave yourself."
The Fu family has a clean and upright family tradition and strict family rules. As a century-old family, the Fu family elder values the character and spirit of its members and family harmony the most. Indeed, no scandals have been reported about the Fu family descendants.
Rong Shu stood there listening to their conversation.
It seems she guessed correctly; there were indeed bad rumors circulating, which is why the old lady personally brought her back.
