Chapter 214 How did you know I was just being presumptuous?
Today, Rong Shu wore a white coat, her long hair was loose and flowing in the wind, and she wore a pearl headband. Her fair and delicate face seemed even more beautiful and radiant than the flowers in her arms.
She stood there quietly, her gentle and serene demeanor captivating all who looked away.
Sheng Tingchen looked at her with his deep black eyes. Su Qingzhi, who was standing to the side, wanted to say something, but the man had already strode towards Rong Shu.
Sheng Tingchen stood in front of Rong Shu and directly reached out to pull one of the woman's hands in front of him.
Rong Shu was stunned. "You..."
The man took out a purple bracelet from his pocket and put it on the woman's wrist.
With a delicate, creamy texture and highly transparent glass-like luster, it shines even on gloomy days, making it clearly valuable.
For a fleeting moment, Rong Shu was captivated by the purple halo.
The man then asked, "You like it?"
Rong Shu snapped out of her daze, withdrew her hand, looked up at the man, and said calmly, "Actually, there's no need to take it so seriously. If you tell Meimei you gave her a gift, I won't expose you."
Sheng Tingchen's expression tightened almost imperceptibly. "Who knows if you'll complain to Meimei?"
What does he mean?
Do you think she's the kind of person who would try to drive a wedge between him and Meimei?
Rong Shu lowered her eyes and looked away, too lazy to pay him any attention.
Sheng Tingchen watched her holding the flowers without making a sound.
A brief silence fell over the air.
Seeing that the man in front of her showed no sign of leaving, Rong Shu looked up at him and asked in confusion, "Aren't you leaving?"
The words fell.
Hearing a voice from ahead, "Xiao Shu."
Rong Shu turned her body slightly and saw Jiang Huaixu walking out of the airport hall. She ignored the man and naturally did not notice his darkening expression.
Holding the flowers, she walked gracefully towards Jiang Huaixu with a gentle smile, presenting the flowers to him with both hands. "Professor, congratulations."
Jiang Huaixu accepted it with both hands, smiling, and said, "Thank you."
"Get in the car first!"
Jiang Huaixu hummed in agreement.
Rong Shu turned around and saw the man who had already gotten into another car, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Xue Mingcheng put the suitcase in the trunk and got into the driver's seat to drive.
The Rolls-Royce in front slowly drove away.
inside the car.
Low pressure.
Su Qingzhi looked at him and couldn't help but tease, "Did you think they came to give you flowers?"
When he saw Rong Shu standing there, his first thought was that it wasn't meant for Sheng Tingchen.
I don't know why he thought it was a gift for him.
Sheng Tingchen looked out the car window, his handsome face cold and silent.
"This is the first time I've ever seen someone so presumptuous."
These words were spoken.
Sheng Tingchen's expression darkened further. He turned to look at Su Qingzhi, his voice low and cold: "How could you tell I'm just being presumptuous?"
Su Qingzhi smiled and said, "Alright, I misread it. You gave her an expensive bracelet, but she wouldn't even give you a single flower."
Sheng Tingchen: "..."
Su Qingzhi shrugged and didn't say anything more.
Inside another car.
Jiang Huaixu explained the situation to Rong Shu in detail.
Sheng Tingchen was not genuinely cooperating with Zhao Zheng; he even set a trap for Zhao Zheng, so in the end, only Zhao Zheng suffered heavy losses.
For at least the next year or two, Zhao Zheng would no longer be able to act arrogantly.
Rong Shu said, "A person like Sheng Tingchen is indeed not worth getting close to."
Both he and Zhao Zheng are people who would stop at nothing for profit. This time, they were scheming against each other, but Zhao Zheng was clearly no match for Sheng Tingchen.
"By the way, Professor, what about your injury?" Rong Shu suddenly asked.
Jiang Huaixu said, "It's all over now, don't worry."
"That's good."
Jiang Huaixu noticed the bracelet on her wrist and said, "The bracelet is quite pretty."
Rong Shu then realized what was happening, took off the bracelet, and said, "Then it should fetch a good price, right?"
Jiang Huaixu said, "With this quality, it could sell for at least tens of millions."
Rong Shu was taken aback. Sheng Tingchen was quite generous, but compared to the black card he gave An Qingyue directly, this was nothing.
She scoffed inwardly.
The bracelet is beautiful, but it's also a bit off-putting. I'll find some time to return it to him.
More than an hour later.
Rong Shu returned to the company.
Xue Mingcheng drove her car to take Jiang Huaixu home.
on the way back.
Jiang Huaixu called Jiang Yu, "Xiao Shu said you had an upset stomach?"
Jiang Yu leaned back on the sofa, leisurely eating fruit. "What do you mean by an upset stomach? I just made up an excuse. It was all to surprise you, brother."
Jiang Huaixu had already guessed it.
"So, brother, you and Xiaoshu have broken up now?"
"Yes, she went back to the company, I'm going home right away."
Jiang Yu responded with an "oh".
When Rong Shu returned to the company, she received a call from Mei Mei, "Isn't Aunt Evelynn going to pick up Daddy from the airport today?"
Rong Shu paused for a moment, then frowned.
It turns out he was the one who would tattle.
For a moment, I didn't know why I didn't explain it to Meimei.
"Meimei, Aunt Evelynn promised my friend. It's because Aunt Evelynn didn't explain it clearly to Meimei. I'm sorry."
Meimei said in a disappointed tone, "Okay then! Daddy said he gave Aunt Evelynn a gift. Aunt Evelynn, could you give Daddy a bouquet of flowers?"
Rong Shu hesitated, but could only agree for the time being.
That night.
Qi Yanchao organized a banquet to welcome Jiang Huaixu.
The profit from Zhao Zheng's fund project this time was an unexpected bonus. It not only expanded the market but also solidified a certain network of contacts. This profit completely made up for the previous losses in Donghua and even had a surplus.
"It's a pity we didn't drag Sheng Tingchen down with us. He's definitely not an ordinary shrewd and calculating person," Qi Yanchao sighed.
"Isn't there anyone who can make him bleed profusely?"
She only just learned that Zhao Zheng had been released from prison, but seeing that Xiao Shu was alright, she was naturally pleased to know that Zhao Zheng had suffered a great loss this time.
"That won't be easy," Qi Yanchao said with a smile.
Song Yan said, "If Su Qingzhi were to turn around and kick him while he's down, he'd probably be in big trouble."
Qi Yanchao said, "These two are practically inseparable now. It's a pity you didn't marry into their family back then. If you had married Su Qingzhi and become Mrs. Su, you could have whispered sweet nothings in his ear... Sigh."
Song Yan stomped on his foot hard, glared at him, and said, "Who cares!"
"In that case, if he doesn't get a divorce, won't it be very difficult for Xiaoshu to get one?" Jiang Yu pouted.
Such a cunning person is truly terrifying. Even Zhao Zheng couldn't outsmart him, and Zhao Yizhou wasn't even worthy of carrying his shoes.
That Xiao Shu is even less likely to be his match.
Upon hearing this, Rong Shu's heart sank. She had originally planned to avoid Sheng Tingchen during her trip to the United States to handle the equity matters, hoping to gradually cool his attitude towards her. However, she did not expect that so many things would happen and she would have to cross paths with him again.
Song Yan said, "An Qingyue is also a fool. She hasn't been able to get pregnant and successfully take over the position after all this time."
Jiang Yu scoffed, "I think she's just a brainless pretty face. She's nothing but a pretty face and can only be played with by men."
Rong Shu interrupted, "Alright, on such a good day, let's not talk about such unlucky people and things."
