Chapter 38: The First Time I Lost My Temper Against Him
That day, she received a call from Jiang Huaixu. He had already spoken with the chairman of Zhongrun Development, and they would contact her father's company today.
Zhongrun Development is one of the top ten large real estate companies in China, with capital strength comparable to that of Mingqi.
"I'll handle this for you, don't worry. Just take good care of yourself and your pregnancy," Jiang Huaixu said.
Rong Shu was deeply grateful to Jiang Huaixu for helping her so much, and said, "I really owe Professor Jiang a huge favor."
Jiang Huaixu didn't say anything more.
I hung up the phone.
Jiang Huaixu put down his phone.
Qi Yanchao, who had just entered, overheard his phone call with Rong Shu and jokingly remarked, "Professor Jiang is truly handsome and kind-hearted. Being your student must be such a privilege!"
Jiang Huaixu glanced at him and said, "This is my responsibility. Please help follow up on it."
Qi Yanchao's maternal uncle is the chairman of Zhongrun Development, and Qi Yanchao also owns shares in the company. He already knew about Mingqi's refusal to acquire Huihe.
Qi Yanchao couldn't help but ask curiously, "Your responsibility? Could it be related to An Qingyue?"
Jiang Huaixu picked up his coffee, took a sip, and did not deny it.
Qi Yanchao had no idea what was going on. He sat sideways on Jiang Huaixu's desk and teased, "Looks like Miss An still has feelings for you. She already has Sheng Tingchen by her side, but she's still thinking about you. It's true what they say, what you can't have is always the most alluring. Sigh, do you think Sheng Tingchen even knows that she used to pursue you?"
Jiang Huaixu tossed a document to him, which Qi Yanchao quickly caught. "Instead of gossiping here, you should get down to business."
"Seriously, can't you be less rigid? Can't we even gossip? How are you going to find a girlfriend like this?" Qi Yanchao complained.
Jiang Huaixu: "..."
Rong Shu received news from her father that the relevant person in charge of Zhongrun Development had contacted him and would arrange for someone to come to the company tomorrow for a detailed discussion.
Hearing her father's relaxed tone, Rong Shu felt relieved.
However, the subsequent talks between the two parties did not go very smoothly.
The reason was that Yunshan was deliberately obstructing things from behind, so Rongen had no choice but to step in.
To avoid worrying Rong Shu, Rong's father hadn't told her anything. Jiang Huaixu had been handling things behind the scenes without contacting Rong Shu, and the situation was currently at a stalemate.
Rong Shu only found out about this because Song Yan accidentally let it slip to her.
Related news reports have also emerged.
Huihe, a mid-sized real estate company with assets of just over 100 million yuan, has attracted a covert battle between two major capital players, and Zhongrun Development has been implicated in the conflict.
This incident quickly attracted a great deal of attention within the industry.
People are speculating about the reason behind this.
Some even speculated that Yunshan wanted to take this opportunity to retaliate against Rong En for previously winning the case of COSCO Shipping Investment.
Regardless of who wins or loses in this battle between the two major capital groups, Huihe will bear the consequences, and in the end, it is feared that no one will dare to take over Huihe easily again.
Rong Shu's heart sank further as she read the news report.
She had been worried that Sheng Tingchen might interfere, and it seems her premonition was indeed correct.
Sheng Tingchen's actions were clearly not just to protect An Qingyue, but also to deliberately target her. He truly couldn't bear to see An Qingyue suffer any injustice, and was willing to go to such lengths to protect her.
Rong Shu stopped watching the news and called Du Zheng.
Pei Lanhua went to the vegetable market to buy groceries.
Rong Shu got dressed and went downstairs.
Got in the car.
Rong Shu said, "Let's go back to Repulse Bay."
Then I sent a message to Pei Lanhua to let her know.
Until 10 p.m.
Sheng Tingchen went home.
Rong Shu had been waiting for him in the living room.
When Sheng Tingchen saw Rong Shu, his handsome face remained as cold as ever. He showed no intention of speaking to her, turned his gaze away, and walked away.
Rong Shu suddenly called out, "Sheng Tingchen!"
Liu Lihua and Wu Fang, who were standing nearby, were both taken aback.
Rong Shu has always been timid and cautious in front of Sheng Tingchen, so how dare she call him that? Has she taken the wrong medicine?
Sheng Tingchen stopped and turned to look at Rong Shu. Rong Shu slowly walked up to him, meeting his cold gaze. She clenched her fingers, suppressing the panic in her heart, and asked, "Why did you do this?"
Sheng Tingchen remained expressionless, but a clear anger flickered in his eyes. "Rong Shu, know your place."
His coldness made Rong Shu unable to control her emotions. "You think I offended An Qingyue? You think I didn't listen to you? You can target me, but why target Huihe?!"
This was the first time she had ever lost her temper in front of him.
In her emotional state, her eyes reddened, but the tears in them did not evoke the man's pity whatsoever. Instead, he spoke with even colder, more ruthless words: "Do you think you're worthy of my targeting?"
The meaning is obvious: you're nothing to me, you're nobody.
The words fell.
Rong Shu felt as if her heart had been struck by a heavy hammer.
Seeing the woman's grief-stricken expression, Sheng Tingchen coldly withdrew his gaze and warned, "You'd better behave yourself."
That's all.
As the man stepped up the stairs.
A pained cry came from the woman behind him.
He turned around and saw the woman clutching her stomach, her face pale. The man frowned.
Seeing this, Liu Lihua and Wu Fang were unsure whether to step forward and secretly glance at Sheng Tingchen's reaction.
With clenched teeth and trembling hands, Rong Shu took out her phone from her pocket and dialed the emergency number.
I hung up the phone.
Rong Shu didn't have the strength to look at the motionless man in front of her. She carefully turned around and moved towards the sofa, clutching her stomach tightly with both hands.
Liu Lihua, worried that something might have really happened, looked at Sheng Tingchen and said, "Young Master,... could something have gone wrong?"
Fifteen minutes later.
The sound of an ambulance siren rang out outside the villa.
Liu Lihua went to open the door.
Du Zheng followed the medical staff quickly into the house.
What she saw was a man standing there motionless, and Rong Shu leaning against the sofa with a pained expression.
His wife was in so much pain, and he just watched. What kind of cold-hearted man would do that?
Without a second thought, he strode up to Rong Shu and said with concern, "Miss Rong."
The medical staff quickly prepared a stretcher and carried Rong Shu out.
Du Zheng quickly followed and saw the man turn around and go upstairs indifferently.
Rong Shu was quickly taken to the hospital. After a series of examinations, it was found that the baby was premature, but the situation has now stabilized.
Liu Lihua went to the hospital and reported the situation to Sheng Tingchen.
Sheng Tingchen hung up the phone.
the next morning.
Sheng Tingchen received a call from Old Madam Sheng, "Tingchen, Rong Shu has been taken to the hospital. What happened?"
Last night, when Rong Shu was being carried into the ambulance, people in the villa area saw her and assumed she was about to give birth. The news quickly spread and reached Old Madam Sheng.
Sheng Tingchen simply said, "The person is alright now."
