Chapter 2 He left home early
But he didn't investigate further.
Rong Shu then added, "Tomorrow is Monday, do you have time in the afternoon? Why don't we go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to handle it in advance? Anyway, it shouldn't matter if we go two months in advance, right?"
After signing the papers, she still has to wait a month for a cooling-off period, and it won't be long before she gives birth.
Sheng Tingchen looked at her, his expression calm and composed, but a hint of scrutiny appeared in his eyes. He looked away and said, "Whatever time I say, that's the time."
Rong Shu lowered her eyes and said nothing more.
The car arrived at the Sheng family mansion.
The reason why Madam Sheng called them back was indeed because of Rong Shu's unborn child.
The Sheng family is dominated by Yang and weak by Yin.
Madam Sheng had two sons, the eldest being Sheng Zhengchang and the second being Sheng Hanzhang.
Sheng Zhengchang has two sons. His eldest son, Sheng Tingyu, got married a few years ago and had twin sons who are five years old this year. His second son, Sheng Tingze, is 24 years old and unmarried.
Sheng Hanzhang had only one son, Sheng Tingchen.
Therefore, both Madam Sheng and Master Sheng were very happy that Rong Shu was carrying a girl.
"It's truly a joyous occasion. With this little darling's arrival, the old man's illness has even improved."
Seeing how much her mother-in-law valued Rong Shu's unborn child, Shen Yurong echoed her sentiments and said a few kind words to Rong Shu.
Rong Shu sat to the side and obediently responded.
Looking at her plump, submissive appearance, Shen Yurong found it displeasing no matter how she looked at her, but out of consideration for the old lady, she did not show it.
In a good mood, Madam Sheng gave Rong Shu a valuable jade bracelet.
Rong Shu was flattered and refused to accept it.
Shen Yurong spoke up, "Grandma will give it to you, just take it."
This petty, small-minded attitude is truly beneath them.
Rong Shu gave up, accepted the jade bracelet, and said, "Thank you, Grandma."
"Take good care of yourself during pregnancy and give birth to a healthy baby."
Rong Shu smiled and nodded. She knew that Old Madam Sheng's kindness to her was not because of her.
She and Sheng Tingchen were originally going to have dinner at the old house.
Until Sheng Tingchen received a phone call.
His eyes were smiling, full of doting affection and tenderness.
They seem to have a pet.
Sheng Tingchen gently called his pet's name, Tianbao.
If he marries the woman he loves, he will probably be a good father.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
I hung up the phone.
Sheng Tingchen turned and went out onto the balcony, where he saw Rong Shu standing there. Rong Shu was startled and didn't react for a moment. When she looked up at the man, she saw his cold face.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "Grandma wants you to go to the study."
Sheng Tingchen didn't say anything and walked away.
Rong Shu stood there, her heart suddenly throbbing with pain.
It took her a long time to come to her senses.
Sheng Tingchen arrived at the study.
Both Madam Sheng and Mr. Sheng were present.
"Tingchen, Grandma knows you don't like Rong Shu, but the baby is due. Rong Shu is a very outstanding person, a top student from a prestigious university, and she is also gentle. What you need in your marriage is stability, and she is the most suitable person to be a good wife and mother."
Sheng Tingchen remained silent.
But his furrowed brows betrayed his displeasure.
How could Old Madam Sheng not see that Rong Shu's appearance was indeed rather ordinary, and she didn't look good standing next to her grandson?
Grandpa Sheng said, "Your marriage shouldn't be changed right now. If you really don't like her, as long as she doesn't do anything too outrageous, you can leave it for another year or two."
Madam Sheng chimed in, "Yes, so many eyes are on you now, waiting to make a fuss about you. It's not too late to leave her after she's raised the child well."
"..."
Sheng Tingchen pondered for a moment, his handsome face revealing his deep thoughts, and then said, "Grandpa and Grandma, I understand."
Rong Shu saw Madam Sheng again.
Madam Sheng looked at her and said, "Tingchen's company suddenly had something come up, so he has to leave first. I'll have the driver take you home later."
Rong Shu nodded. "Okay."
Before leaving that day.
Madam Sheng reminded her, "Even though you're pregnant, you still need to exercise more and take care of yourself. When your mother-in-law and the others were pregnant, they not only had to accompany their husbands to events, but also manage the household chores. Some things come easily, but it's not easy to hold onto them forever."
Rong Shu instantly understood the meaning behind the old lady's words.
Being a daughter-in-law in the Sheng family is not an easy job. If she wants to secure her position, she has to change herself.
Her behavior only makes Sheng Tingchen lose face.
She had tried to get better by exercising, practicing yoga, and losing weight, but she lacked the willpower to stick to it and became physically and mentally exhausted, and her body became increasingly overweight.
However, Madam Sheng was right. She couldn't let herself become so depressed and dejected, but not to secure her position, but for her future.
"Grandma, I understand."
night.
To Rong Shu's surprise, the man who had brought up divorce with her that morning actually came home.
"you……"
"Make me a bowl of hangover soup and bring it to my study."
Done.
Sheng Tingchen then went upstairs to his study.
Rong Shu came to her senses and went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of hangover soup for the man, which she then brought to the study.
The man flipped through the documents in his hand, his expression cold and aloof, radiating an aura of inhuman indifference.
She didn't disturb him and turned to leave the study.
Even if he comes back.
The two also slept in separate rooms.
The man sleeps in the master bedroom on the second floor.
She slept in the guest room on the first floor.
The next day.
Since Sheng Tingchen was home, the nanny prepared a sumptuous breakfast.
He sat in the main seat and did not see Rong Shu.
He used to be at home.
Rong Shu not only ironed and prepared his clothes for the next day, but also personally prepared breakfast for him. She was indeed a dutiful and responsible wife.
This morning, I didn't see any ironed clothes, and the nanny prepared breakfast.
"Where is she?" Sheng Tingchen asked impatiently.
Liu Lihua immediately launched into a tirade: "I went to call her early this morning, but she just wouldn't get up. We have to bring her food to her room every day. She ignores us and won't say anything when we ask her what she wants to eat. We're not mind readers. It's just a pregnancy. When Madam was pregnant with you, young master, she was very devoted to Chairman Sheng. But with her, she's really enjoying herself."
Sheng Tingchen frowned and said, "Go and wake her up."
"Yes."
Rong Shu had gotten up long ago; she was just waiting for Sheng Tingchen to leave.
At this time.
Liu Lihua pushed the door open and entered. Seeing Rong Shu sitting on the sofa, she said with disgust, "So you really are the young mistress, waiting to be invited?"
Rong Shu raised her eyes and said coldly, "If I'm not, then who are you?"
For the past few months, Rong Shu has kept her head down and remained silent.
Liu Lihua never expected to be criticized.
"If you continue to disrespect your elders, don't blame me for telling the old lady what you've been up to all this time."
Since she was getting a divorce anyway, she had nothing to worry about. Why should she put up with this for the remaining two months?
Liu Lihua's eyes widened. "You..."
Yesterday, Shen Yurong called her and asked them to take good care of her. Although she was pregnant with a daughter, she was the only girl in three generations of the Sheng family. She was lucky that her daughter was so valued by the old lady.
Liu Lihua could only swallow her anger. "The young master is waiting for you at the restaurant."
Rong Shu was surprised.
She arrived at the restaurant.
Sheng Tingchen was having a meal when he looked up at Rong Shu. She was wearing a white knitted long shirt, the fabric of which was stretched out of shape by her bloated body. Her steps were unsteady and she walked with difficulty. Her large belly looked like she was pregnant with several children.
Rong Shu noticed the man's gaze and consciously sat away from him. She heard the man say in a cold voice, "Aunt Liu and the others are elderly people from the old house. You can't expect them to accommodate you in everything. It's just that you're pregnant, not that you're unable to move around."
Just pregnant?
Yes!
This unexpected child may be insignificant to him.
His inexplicable reprimand must have come from Liu Lihua gossiping about him.
This isn't the first time.
"Since they don't want to accommodate me, why don't we let them go back to the old house? I can take care of myself."
Rong Shu stirred the porridge in the bowl and spoke in a very calm tone.
Anyway, she cooks her own meals, washes her own clothes, and cleans her own room. They only pretend to be attentive when Sheng Tingchen is around.
Sheng Tingchen frowned.
Rong Shu knew this was a sign of his displeasure.
Whether at work or in life, Sheng Tingchen is a very assertive person who does not tolerate any rebuttal.
"I'm reminding you, not asking you to give your opinion."
Rong Shu lowered her head and didn't say anything more.
Sheng Tingchen's expression grew increasingly grim as he looked at her lifeless appearance.
Then he instructed Liu Lihua and the others that she should do her own things from now on and that they didn't need to serve her.
Rong Shu's hand holding the chopsticks tightened involuntarily.
After breakfast.
Sheng Tingchen left.
Rong Shu went to University A.
They arrived at Jiang Huaixu's office.
The young man sitting behind the desk was dressed in a suit, with rimless glasses perched on his high nose bridge, exuding a mature and composed demeanor.
Jiang Huaixu is only 29 years old this year. He is the youngest full professor in the Department of Finance at University A and a genius with a well-known reputation in the financial circle.
She raised her hand and knocked on the door.
