Chapter 453 Looking at Herself
Rong Shu's dazed consciousness gradually returned, and she realized that she was not in the Rong family home. However, she did not say anything and slowly sat up straight. Sheng Tingchen helped her out of the car.
"Mother."
Rong Shu reached out and took Mei Mei's hand, walking towards the elevator. Sheng Tingchen closed the car door and followed behind the mother and daughter.
Sheng Tingchen had already arranged for a bath to be prepared and said to Rong Shu, "Go take a bath first!"
Rong Shu then returned to her bedroom.
After she finished her bath and was blow-drying her hair, the bathroom door was opened from the outside. Rong Shu didn't make a sound and continued to blow-dry her hair.
Sheng Tingchen walked directly behind her, took the hairdryer from her hands, readjusted the temperature, and said, "Let me do it!"
Rong Shu withdrew her hand, letting the man blow-dry her hair.
Her hair is quite thick, so it takes time to dry completely.
The man carefully blow-dried her hair, holding a comb in one hand. His technique was quite skillful. Whenever he had time, he would blow-dry her beautifully washed hair. Over time, he became very proficient.
Inside the quiet bathroom.
All I could hear was the sound of the hairdryer running.
A dozen minutes later.
Sheng Tingchen put down the hairdryer and said, "It's done."
Rong Shu reached out and tidied her hair, then stood up and said, "Thanks."
Sheng Tingchen smiled and said, "It's what I should do, no need to be so polite with me."
Rong Shu glanced at him and then walked out of the bathroom.
Sheng Tingchen followed him out.
Just then, the maid brought in a bowl of red date and bird's nest porridge to help them sober up. Seeing the two of them, she respectfully said, "Sir, Madam, the bird's nest porridge is ready."
Sheng Tingchen stepped forward and took it.
The maid nodded and walked towards the door.
Sheng Tingchen stirred the bird's nest porridge in the bowl with a spoon. The temperature felt just right to his touch. He walked over to Rong Shu and handed it to her, saying, "Warm your stomach."
Rong Shu took it from her. "Where's Meimei?"
"Watching TV downstairs."
Rong Shu drank the bird's nest porridge.
At this time.
Sheng Tingchen's phone vibrated. He took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and then walked towards the balcony.
Rong Shu lowered her hand, watched the man's back as he walked towards the door.
Sheng Tingchen answered the phone, put it to his ear, and said, "Feed."
The call was from Su Qingzhi. "Is Xiao Shu with you?"
Sheng Tingchen hummed in agreement and said calmly, "There's no need to be so wary of me, nor so nervous. She's fine now."
Su Qingzhi knew this, of course, since Meimei's presence by her side could soothe her mood.
After a long silence on the other end of the phone, Su Qingzhi asked, "What are your true feelings towards Xiao Shu now?"
Sheng Tingchen said, "I don't have any plans. Let her decide."
Su Qingzhi didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.
Sheng Tingchen put down his phone, stood on the balcony, a gentle breeze caressing his face, and looked up at the boundless night sky, where not a single star could be seen.
These past two days.
Rong Shu lives in Repulse Bay.
Pei Lanhua contacted her and learned that she was alright for the time being, which put her mind at ease.
Sheng Tingchen has been quite busy lately, leaving early and returning late every day, so the two of them don't have many opportunities to meet and talk.
As for the situation outside, she didn't pay much attention to it.
After dropping Meimei off at kindergarten that day, she went to Rongen.
When the company staff saw her, they were quite surprised.
It's been a long time since I've seen Evelynn. She suddenly took sick leave recently, and everyone is speculating that she probably couldn't withstand the pressure within the company and resigned on the grounds of sick leave.
So when they saw her at the company again, they were all surprised, but they still greeted her as usual.
Upon seeing Rong Shu, Xue Mingjie exclaimed in surprise, "Evelynn, what brings you to the company today? Are you feeling better?"
In just a short time, she had visibly lost a lot of weight, and her usual vigor was gone; she really looked like she had been seriously ill.
Rong Shu smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine. Ask Assistant Li if President Jiang is in the company today?"
Xue Mingjie said, "I met with President Jiang today, and he should be in his office now."
Rong Shu, "Could you tell Assistant Li that I need to speak with President Jiang about something? See when he'll be available?"
"it is good."
Rong Shu returned to her office first.
During her absence, the office remained empty, but it was always cleaned, so it was spotless and tidy.
Xue Mingjie quickly replied, "President Jiang has something to attend to right now. Evelynn, please go up in ten minutes."
"it is good."
Rong Shu asked him about his recent work situation. Xue Mingjie was busy handling the follow-up work that Rong Shu had handed over to him, and he was still very busy every day.
Rong Shu nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Once you finish your project, I'll apply for a month's leave for you."
"Thank you, Evelynn. It's all I should do."
With an annual salary of one million, one is motivated no matter how tiring the work is.
Xue Mingjie couldn't help but ask, "Evelynn, are you here at the company today to officially return to work?"
Rong Shu said, "More or less, but I need to discuss it with President Jiang."
Xue Mingjie said, "Okay."
"Then you can go ahead and get busy!"
After responding, Xue Mingjie turned and left the office.
Around that time.
Rong Shu received a call from Jiang Huaixu, "Xiao Shu, come to my office!"
"Um."
Rong Shu knocked on the office door and entered.
Jiang Huaixu poured her a cup of tea and said, "Come and sit down!"
Rong Shu stepped forward and sat on the sofa.
"How have you been these past few days?" Jiang Huaixu asked.
Rong Shu smiled faintly and said, "It's fine."
Jiang Huaixu looked at her nonchalant expression and said seriously, "Don't keep it bottled up inside."
Rong Shu chuckled softly, "It seems I really am quite fragile."
"It's not that you're weak; you're actually incredibly strong and powerful. No one else could have achieved what you have. I know you can pick yourself up, but I just don't want you to carry everything on your own."
Rong Shu nodded, suddenly feeling a lump in her throat. She pursed her lips, trying to control her emotions, and said in a slightly choked voice, "Thank you."
Jiang Huaixu just looked at her without saying anything more, waiting for her to compose herself.
She reached for her teacup, took a sip, slowly lowered her hand, took a deep breath, and said, "Because I know I'm not alone, I don't feel like I'm having a hard time. I also know that things will get better in the future, but I should be most grateful to you, Professor."
Jiang Huaixu said, "I've already said that there's no need for words of gratitude."
Rong Shu looked up at him, then nodded and didn't continue speaking, having composed herself.
Jiang Huaixu then asked, "What brings you to the company today?"
Rong Shu replied, "I want to go back to work at the company, but let's stick to the previous plan and go to City C!"
Jiang Huaixu looked at her intently, "Have you thought it through?"
Rong Shu nodded, her tone serious, and said, "I've thought it through. I can't keep doing nothing like this forever."
