Chapter 42 You like her?
At 7:30 p.m., the square along the riverbank was already packed with people for the fireworks show and drone performance.
The group naturally avoided the crowded area, especially since Rong Shu was heavily pregnant.
The group went directly to the central tower.
The top floor offers an excellent vantage point for viewing.
The group arrived by elevator.
The top floor is a high-end restaurant. Reservations are made in advance and the number of people is limited, so it is very quiet and relatively uncrowded.
Although the performance hasn't started yet, the view of the dazzling city nightscape is already a visual feast.
Rong Shu and Song Yan took photos with their phones, taking selfies together and also taking photos of the male colleagues who didn't like taking pictures, except for Qi Yanchao, of course.
"Come on, everyone look here, let's all give a thumbs up!"
Qi Yanchao held his phone, and everyone looked at the camera. Rong Shu and Song Yan made heart shapes with their hands.
At this time.
Several familiar figures came into view.
I looked up.
Then they saw Sheng Tingchen, Su Qingzhi, Xie Anming, An Qingyue, and Lin Nan. An Qingyue was walking in front, arm in arm with Sheng Tingchen. They were a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
The two groups exchanged glances.
There was a moment of stillness in the air.
Rong Shu looked at Sheng Tingchen, and their eyes met briefly. This was their first meeting since she was hospitalized after being angered by him.
But it was just indifference.
The two sides quickly looked away, neither recognizing the other.
Song Yan rolled her eyes and couldn't help but complain, "How come I always run into unclean things everywhere?"
Fortunately, she didn't speak loudly, and Sheng Tingchen and the others weren't seated next to them.
Qi Yanchao smiled and said, "How about we go to a temple to have some evil spirits exorcised?"
Song Yan said, "That's a good suggestion."
"..."
Having finally calmed down recently, Rong Shu's heart was inevitably stirred upon seeing him again, but she could only restrain herself and not want to affect everyone's mood.
Even though she had concealed it well, others still noticed her unusual behavior.
Song Yan suggested that it would be just as good to look at it from the ground.
No one objected to her statement.
Rong Shu knew it was because of her, and felt somewhat guilty, but she really didn't want to stay here any longer.
The group got up and left one after another.
Song Yan helped Rong Shu walk at the front, followed by several men. Sheng Tingze walked at the very back and couldn't help but look in the direction of Sheng Tingchen and the others, his expression not very good.
Sheng Tingchen glanced at him, and Sheng Tingze looked away, turned around and left.
The group took the elevator to the ground floor.
The fireworks show officially began.
The performance was still visible from the base of the tower, and the group watched the fireworks and drone show from there. As they watched the dazzling and unpredictable performance, Rong Shu gradually calmed down from her earlier distress.
Until the end of the performance.
Pei Yu decided to take Rong Shu home first.
We arrived at the parking lot.
Rong Shu said goodbye to them.
"Xiao Shu, go back and get some rest. We'll meet again sometime," Song Yan said.
Rong Shu replied, "Okay."
Pei Yu bid farewell to the group.
Drive carefully on the road.
"I know."
Pei Yu got into the driver's seat and drove away.
Qi Yanchao took Jiang Huaixu and Song Yan out for drinks and invited Sheng Tingze to join them.
Sheng Tingze wasn't in their circle before, and they didn't know each other. But today, they got along quite well and exchanged contact information, so it can be considered that they've met.
Sheng Tingze smiled and politely declined, saying, "Let's do it next time. I'll treat you then."
"Okay then."
"..."
They got into their cars and drove away.
The next day.
Rong Shu received a call from Old Madam Sheng, asking her to return to the old house today.
Rong Shu had no choice but to go.
Around 11 o'clock.
Pei Yu drove her to the old house.
The car was parked outside the gate of the old house.
Sheng Tingze stayed here last night. Knowing that Rong Shu was coming, he waited at the door in advance. When he saw Pei Yu bringing him over, he went up to greet him.
"Xiao Shu, you and Ting Ze go inside first!"
"it is good."
Sheng Tingze looked at Pei Yu and said, "Brother Pei Yu, since you're here, let's go in together!"
Pei Yu said, "No need, you go in with Xiao Shu!"
For so long, the Sheng family has never invited anyone from the Rong family to any event. His going in like this will only make things awkward for both sides. Sheng Tingze didn't press the matter further. "I will take good care of Xiaoshu. I'll take her back when the time comes."
"Um."
At this time.
A Bentley drove towards this direction and slowly entered the old house.
Rong Shu recognized it as Sheng Tingchen's car.
Let's go!
Sheng Tingze said.
The two entered the old house.
Rong Shu's belly is now large, and she is obviously about to give birth. She is holding her waist with one hand and her belly with the other, and she walks very slowly.
She chatted with Sheng Tingze and didn't feel tired at all, walking through the courtyard towards the main courtyard.
We finally entered the main hall.
Madam Sheng and Shen Yurong were already seated in the living room, but Sheng Tingchen was not present.
Rong Shu stepped forward and called out, "Grandma." When her gaze fell on Shen Yurong, she called out one last time, "Mom."
Shen Yurong gave her a cold look but did not respond.
"Please sit down!"
The nanny came forward and helped her sit down on the sofa.
Madam Sheng looked at Sheng Tingze and said, "Xiaoze, go find your cousin. He's in the private room playing chess with your grandfather. We'll talk to Xiaoshu."
Sheng Tingze glanced at Rong Shu and said, "Alright then."
We went to the private room.
Seeing Sheng Tingchen standing in front of the French windows making a phone call, Sheng Tingze walked over after he hung up and said, "Cousin."
But this time, the tone of addressing him as "cousin" was much more serious.
Sheng Tingchen looked at him and hummed in agreement. "Is there anything you want to say?"
Sheng Tingze stood with his hands in his pockets, his fingers clenched tightly. The two men were about the same height, facing each other horizontally. After a moment of silence, he spoke, saying, "Cousin, aren't you going too far?"
Sheng Tingchen's dark, deep eyes seemed to see right through people. He looked at Sheng Tingze and asked in a deep voice, "You like her?"
The words were spoken.
Sheng Tingze froze. Sure enough, nothing could escape his eyes. He could hide things from everyone else, but he couldn't hide them from him.
He turned his gaze away and looked out the window. He didn't deny it and said, "Yes, we've known each other since junior high school and I've liked her for many years. Maybe you think she's not good-looking and not good enough for you, but Xiao Shu used to be very beautiful. I can say that An Qingyue is not even a tenth as good as her. Beauty is just an insignificant advantage of hers."
Sheng Tingchen listened, his face calm and without any change in emotion.
"I heard from my mom that Xiaoshu drugged you and you two had sex, which is why she got pregnant." He suddenly smiled sarcastically and said, "In my understanding, even if Xiaoshu liked you a lot, she would never do such a thing."
talking.
He turned his head to look at Sheng Tingchen's expressionless handsome face and said, "Of course I have no right to reprimand you, cousin, but shouldn't a man have basic respect for his pregnant wife?"
