Chapter 306 What did you do back then?
Then there was another silence.
Looking at the silent expressions on Sheng Tingchen and Su Qingzhi's faces, Xi Jinchuan didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only sit aside and wait.
Sheng Tingchen raised his hand and glanced at the time on his wristwatch.
Five minutes later.
Lu Xue then led Li Anna back to the side hall.
Li Anna walked up to Rong Shu, the resentment and anger in her eyes gone. She lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit her."
The arrogance she had displayed moments before had vanished completely. Rong Shu looked up at her, her gaze indifferent, and did not respond.
Sheng Tingchen sat beside her, his arm resting on the sofa armrest, tapping lightly with his index finger, his expression inscrutable.
The large side hall was completely silent; it was so quiet that you could almost hear each other breathing.
Li Chenhe said, "Ms. Evelynn, I can agree to any compensation you want, as long as you calm down."
Rong Shu remained silent, showing no reaction whatsoever.
Xi Mingshan watched from the side, feeling somewhat displeased with Rong Shu's behavior. She sat next to Sheng Tingchen, as if everyone had to watch her expression because of it.
Of course, she could understand; after all, with two people protecting her, she certainly had the right to act this way.
Xi Jinchuan said sincerely, "Evelynn, since you had this accident here today, we won't shirk our responsibility. Consider it something we owe you. If you need anything, just let us know."
Rong Shu noticed the Xi family's protectiveness towards Li Anna. After a moment of silence, she said, "Since that's the case, I have nothing more to say, and I don't need anything else."
That's all.
She then got up and walked out of the side hall.
Sheng Tingchen didn't say a word from beginning to end, and then left.
Li Chenhe suddenly called out to him, "Tingchen, I'm sorry."
Sheng Tingchen stopped and glanced at him without saying anything.
Su Qingzhi did not linger.
After the three left.
The atmosphere in the living room was exceptionally somber.
Sheng Tingchen and Su Qingzhi remained silent, and it was unclear what they meant. Rong Shu's attitude just now clearly indicated that she had not accepted Li Anna's apology.
Li Anna suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "She did it on purpose."
Calm down now.
In hindsight, she realized that she could have easily dodged the teacup she had thrown, but she just stood there motionless.
It was definitely to make Su Qingzhi and Sheng Tingchen feel sorry for her and stand up for her.
Lu Xue said, "What's done is done, there's no use saying anything now. Sister Anna should still avoid her from now on, you're no match for Evelynn."
Xi Mingshan agreed, "Xue'er is right. Anna, don't forget how your parents cleaned up the mess for you five years ago because of your foolishness."
Thinking back to that time, Sheng Tingchen suddenly canceled the cooperation with the Li family. After learning the details, the Li family personally brought Li Anna to apologize. In the end, it was the old lady of Sheng who stepped in to mediate.
"Sheng Tingchen and Su Qingzhi are clearly protecting Evelynn right now. You should just focus on getting engaged and control your temper, or you'll cause more trouble."
Even though Li Anna felt resentful, she understood what they were saying.
This whole commotion happened tonight.
Rong Shu had no desire to stay any longer.
The Xi family already has a problem with her.
She had no desire to stay any longer.
I was originally planning to stay here tonight.
Sheng Tingchen sent someone to bring Meimei down.
While waiting for Meimei to come downstairs.
Xi Mingshan and Xi Jinchuan came over and apologized to them again.
"Mother."
A sweet, soft voice came from inside.
As soon as Rong Shu saw Mei Mei, a gentle smile immediately spread across her face. She stepped forward and took Mei Mei's soft little hand, then looked at Fu Xingzhou who had followed her.
"Are you leaving?" Fu Xingzhou asked.
Rong Shu hummed in agreement.
Fu Xingzhou didn't ask any further questions, only instructing him, "Be careful on the road."
Sheng Tingchen took Rong Shu and Mei Mei into the car and drove away.
After saying goodbye to them, Su Qingzhi left.
Watching the car disappear into the distance, Fu Xingzhou finally turned to Xi Mingshan and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Xi Mingshan briefly explained to Fu Xingzhou, "Anna was indeed in the wrong, but it hasn't gotten to the point of a complete breakdown. I hope you can talk to Tingchen about it, Xingzhou."
At present, the only people who can speak with authority in front of Sheng Tingchen are Fu Xingzhou and Qin Zhan.
The Qin family lives in seclusion and does not participate in the disputes of wealthy and powerful families, but their status is still on par with the Sheng and Fu families.
Fu Xingzhou said calmly, "It's no use me saying anything. This matter depends on Evelynn's attitude." His tone revealed a hint of helplessness.
As for the relationship between Su Qingzhi and Rong Shu, he was also unaware.
*
The Rolls-Royce drove slowly along the road.
The only sound in the carriage was Meimei's voice. She noticed the band-aid on Rong Shu's forehead, and Rong Shu only said that she had accidentally bumped into it.
"Meimei, blow on it for Mommy."
Meimei leaned forward and blew on her mother's forehead, pouting as she carefully exhaled, as if afraid of hurting her mother.
Rong Shu held Mei Mei in her arms, a warm feeling welling up in her heart, and her mood was gradually soothed.
"Okay, Mommy doesn't hurt anymore, Meimei, sit up straight."
Meimei sat obediently in her mother's lap.
Until two hours later.
They had just arrived at the Repulse Bay villa.
Meimei had already fallen asleep in the car.
Sheng Tingchen carried her out of the car and handed her over to the nanny.
They didn't eat dinner that night.
Sheng Tingchen had already asked the chef to prepare dinner in advance.
"Let's go eat first!"
Sheng Tingchen put his arm around Rong Shu's shoulder as they arrived at the restaurant.
The maid has already prepared dinner.
After sitting down.
Sheng Tingchen asked, "What do you plan to do about Li Anna's matter?"
Rong Shu paused in her hand as she picked up the soup bowl, then took a small sip, looked at Sheng Tingchen, and a faint hint of sarcasm curled at the corner of her lips, "You're quite magnanimous, aren't you?"
Sheng Tingchen stared at her without responding.
"Do you know why I had to take this hit?" Rong Shu continued to ask.
Sheng Tingchen said, "No matter the reason, the fact is that you are injured."
Rong Shu couldn't help but laugh out loud, then quickly composed herself, looked him straight in the eye, and said, "So, what are you planning to do to avenge me?"
Sheng Tingchen: "Of course I won't stand idly by."
Rong Shu then asked, "And what did you do back then?"
That dinner party five years ago.
Sheng Tingchen was drugged.
I remember when I went to find Sheng Tingchen's hotel room, I encountered the same woman with a livid face on the way. But before she could see who it was, the power suddenly went out in the corridor.
Although she couldn't see the other person's face clearly, her eyes now seemed so similar to Li Anna's, especially the way Li Anna stared at her when she went to see Sheng Tingchen. It was only then that she realized.
Thinking back to Xi Mingshan's words, she became even more certain that the person who drugged Sheng Tingchen was merely a scapegoat.
Sheng Tingchen should be well aware of this as well.
But what was the result?
Even now, as Li Anna is about to get engaged, she still dares to do this.
In the end, she and Anna Li became scapegoats for his anger.
Think about it, people like them, without any power or background, are nothing in the eyes of these powerful and wealthy people.
