Chapter 282 A person like you is only fit to die alone.
Rong Shu had something to discuss with Jiang Huaixu.
She went upstairs and was asking Jiang Huaixu's secretary questions.
At this time.
The office door opened.
Rong Shu looked up and saw Su Qingzhi walking out of the office. Su Qingzhi saw her and the moment her gaze fell on her, the complex emotions in her eyes were unfathomable to Rong Shu.
She found Su Qingzhi's behavior utterly baffling.
Su Qingzhi nodded and smiled slightly at Rong Shu, then said something to Jiang Huaixu and strode away.
Rong Shu stood there watching Su Qingzhi's departing figure, then turned her gaze to Jiang Huaixu.
"Come in!" Jiang Huaixu said to Rong Shu.
Rong Shu entered the office, closed the door behind her, and asked with a puzzled look, "Why did Su Qingzhi suddenly come to see Rong En?"
Jiang Huaixu brewed her a cup of tea and placed it in front of her.
Rong Shu sat on the sofa.
Jiang Huaixu explained, "They came to talk to me about investing and building a home in Shanghai, and about future economic development trends."
Rong Shu smiled sarcastically and said, "I thought Su Qingzhi came to talk to you about cooperation."
Jiang Huaixu smiled faintly and said, "He definitely wouldn't come to cooperate with Rong En, but I was quite surprised that he suddenly came to see me. It's not like he just came to chat casually. He even talked about you, as if he wanted to get information about you from me."
Rong Shu frowned, displeased and disgusted, and said, "Why are you talking about me? What do you want to do for An Qingyue?"
Jiang Huaixu said, "No, I have nothing to say about that. I have nothing to say about your abilities."
"baffling."
"However, it seems that An Qingyue is attempting suicide and has been hospitalized."
Rong Shu was startled, then said sarcastically, "First a car accident, now a suicide attempt, quite the drama."
Sheng Tingchen is really cold-blooded!
When he cares about you, he can treat you like royalty; when he doesn't, you're nothing in his eyes.
An Qingyue's stunt was nothing more than an attempt to win Sheng Tingchen's favor. The fact that she was resorting to such methods to attract him shows that Sheng Tingchen had become indifferent to her.
Despite this.
She still felt no pleasure.
"Now I'm curious, given how much Su Qingzhi dotes on An Qingyue, is he really just going to remain so indifferent and do nothing for his sister?"
"Anyway, the relationship between Su Qingzhi and Sheng Tingchen is definitely stronger than that between him and An Qingyue. Feelings are ever-changing, only interests are eternal. Besides, no matter how much Su Qingzhi loves An Qingyue, he is not a member of the An family after all."
Rong Shu nodded in agreement.
"Sheng Tingchen and An Qingyue have not been in contact again?" Jiang Huaixu asked again.
Rong Shu smiled coldly and said, "Anyway, he's playing the perfect husband right now. If I were to rate his performance, I would definitely give him full marks."
Jiang Huaixu's deep eyes, hidden behind his glasses, fixed on Rong Shu's face. His tone turned serious as he asked, "What if he's willing to continue this act with you for the rest of his life?"
Upon hearing this...
Rong Shu's expression darkened.
Acting for a lifetime?
She hadn't thought about that question.
But in her opinion, that was simply impossible.
"Even if he were to act, it would need to be supported by emotional value. He's not a sentimental person."
Jiang Huaixu looked at her and said earnestly, "Xiao Shu, if you can, I still hope you can look forward. The past is not as important as you think."
She could have stayed in the United States, or returned without contacting Sheng Tingchen, but the child was her only thought. Eight years of deep, unrequited love had shattered her heart so completely that it felt like a thorn deeply embedded in her soul.
Sheng Tingchen was the thorn in her heart.
So she chose to come back and ended up crossing paths with Sheng Tingchen.
Jiang Huaixu knew that she would never be able to let go of the thorn until it was removed.
Rong Shu smiled bitterly, "Perhaps, but it has come to this point, I have no choice but to keep going."
Jiang Huaixu sighed helplessly, "When you can't go on anymore, you won't be alone."
Rong Shu smiled and said, "I believe you, Professor, will lend me a hand."
"certainly."
That night.
Rong Shu did not go out for dinner with Sheng Tingchen.
She returned to the Repulse Bay villa.
Dinner is ready.
Sheng Tingchen got home half an hour earlier than her.
The two sat in the restaurant, the atmosphere between them unusually cold.
"I heard something today," Rong Shu said, taking the initiative to speak.
Sheng Tingchen looked at her and asked, "What is it?"
Rong Shu said, "An Qingyue attempted suicide and was hospitalized. Aren't you going to Haishi to see her?" Her question, seemingly calm but devoid of emotion, was like asking him if he had eaten today.
But how could Sheng Tingchen not sense her probing intent?
"I'm not a doctor, so it wouldn't make a difference if I went."
Rong Shu scoffed, "You're not a doctor, but if you go, you'll be more effective than a doctor."
"You really want me to go?"
"You used to care about people so much, you couldn't bear to hear a harsh word from you, but now that someone has committed suicide, you're still unmoved. You really are fickle and cold-blooded."
Sheng Tingchen remained composed in the face of the woman's words, and said with a light smile, "The An family will handle her affairs. From now on, only your and Meimei's matters concern me."
Sure enough, for a man like him, there is no such thing as guilt.
Actually, she really admired him.
Of course, only a ruthless and heartless person like him can live a life free from any suffering and reach heights that others cannot attain.
Rong Shu said, "Someone like you is only fit to grow old alone."
Sheng Tingchen served her a bowl of soup, seemingly oblivious to the sarcasm in her words, and calmly replied, "I used to think so too, but you changed my life and my thoughts. So life never goes according to our preconceived notions. Heaven has already made its arrangements, so let's go with the flow."
Rong Shu glanced at him but didn't say anything more.
Sheng Tingchen looked at her, smiled, and changed the subject, saying, "I have a new assistant here, also a graduate of Stanford University, and a student of Professor Michael. She's your junior, her name is Lu Xue. Do you know her?"
Rong Shu sipped her soup. "Professor Michael has so many students, I don't know everyone."
Sheng Tingchen didn't say anything more.
At this time.
Meimei suddenly made a video call, and Sheng Tingchen answered the video, pointing the camera at him and Rong Shu.
"Dad, Mom, are you still eating?"
Meimei's clear and cheerful voice came from the video, adding a touch of liveliness to the quiet restaurant.
When Rong Shu looked at Mei Mei, she gave her a gentle smile.
Meimei is still eating.
Sheng Tingchen and Rong Shu chatted with her for a few minutes.
"Daddy, you have to eat properly with Mommy, okay? Daddy, you're not allowed to make Mommy angry," Meimei warned as a final sentence.
Sheng Tingchen said gently, "Dad knows."
