"Beautiful."
When Meimei heard her grandmother's voice, she turned around, saw her grandmother, got up, walked over, and called out, "Grandma."
Shen Yurong stepped forward, squatted down, and hugged Meimei.
Su Jinxi walked to Su Jin's side, her gaze falling on Meimei. "This is Tingchen's daughter, she's so beautiful!"
Meimei tilted her head and looked at the stranger in front of her with a puzzled expression.
Shen Yurong smiled and said, "Yes! Meimei calls her Grandma Su."
Meimei obediently called out, "Grandma Su."
An Qingyue squatted down, looked at Meimei with a gentle smile and said, "Meimei, this necklace is really beautiful. Auntie will pick out a few more matching necklaces for Meimei."
She was getting increasingly annoyed with Sheng Meijing, but she was still Tingchen's beloved daughter. If she wanted to marry Sheng Tingchen, she had to build a good relationship with her.
Meimei looked at An Qingyue with strong resistance. Ever since she found out that An Qingyue had bullied Aunt Evelynn, she had completely disliked her.
"I don't want the necklace you gave me."
These words were spoken.
Su Jinxi and Shen Yurong's expressions changed, and An Qingyue's smile froze, becoming even more unsightly.
"Meimei, Aunt Qingyue is so good to you, how could you say such a thing?" Shen Yurong said.
Meimei muttered, "Grandma, Aunt Qingyue is bullying Aunt Evelynn."
Shen Yurong's expression darkened as she looked at Rong Shu.
Rong Shu met her gaze, and the dissatisfaction in her eyes probably meant that she felt that Rong Shu had instigated Mei Mei to gossip in front of Mei Mei.
Su Jinxi glanced at An Qingyue, then bent down to Meimei and said, "Meimei, Aunt Qingyue and your Aunt Evelynn must have a misunderstanding. How about letting Aunt Qingyue apologize to Aunt Evelynn, and then you'll forgive her?"
An Qingyue looked at her mother with a wronged expression.
Su Jinxi gave her a look, signaling her not to act on her emotions.
Meimei said, "Aunt Evelynn has to forgive Aunt Qingyue first."
Shen Yurong said sternly, "Meimei can't be so insensible."
Mei Mei lowered her head, feeling wronged.
Su Jinxi said, "It's alright. It must be that Qingyue did something wrong. Let Qingyue apologize to Miss Evelynn."
An Qingyue clenched her fingers, cursing Sheng Meijing in her heart.
Su Jinxi tugged at her daughter's sleeve. An Qingyue's face stiffened, and she finally stepped towards Rong Shu, saying, "Miss Evelynn, if I offended you in any way before, I apologize. I'm sorry."
Rong Shu looked at her reluctant apology and knew that she harbored deep resentment towards Mei Mei and her.
"If Miss An wants to apologize, she should show sincerity."
An Qingyue stared intently at her with her dark eyes. "What does Miss Evelynn intend to do?"
The words fell.
Rong Shu raised her hand and slapped her across the face. Since she couldn't slap her mother, she would slap her instead.
This scene.
Everyone was astonished.
Even Song Yan and Jiang Yu were stunned, but they quickly broke into smiles, feeling delighted.
Su Jinxi's face darkened.
Shen Yurong was about to step forward to teach Rong Shu a lesson when Su Jinxi stopped her. She walked up to Rong Shu and said, "Miss Evelynn, there was a misunderstanding before. I apologize to you, and then we're even."
Rong Shu was very puzzled by Su Jinxi's attitude, not knowing what she meant by tolerating her hitting An Qingyue.
"Mrs. An's sincere apology is acceptable to me, but please make sure your daughter never appears in front of me again."
Su Jinxi's eyes turned cold, but in the end she said nothing.
Meimei walked over and looked at Rong Shu, asking, "Has Aunt Evelynn forgiven Aunt Qingyue?"
Rong Shu stroked her daughter's head, not answering, but only asking, "Does Meimei want to choose more jewelry?"
Shen Yurong came over to take Meimei to the VIP reception room.
"Aunt Evelynn, may I go?"
Rong Shu hummed in agreement. "Go ahead!"
Seeing that Aunt Evelynn didn't seem angry, Meimei went with her grandma.
After the group left.
Song Yan said happily, "Meimei is such a good girl. You should have slapped her harder." Then she added sarcastically, "Both sets of parents have met, and that scumbag Sheng Tingchen still doesn't plan to marry his sweetheart."
Jiang Yu said, "I heard that the An family dotes on their daughter and even tolerated An Qingyue being beaten."
Song Yan also frowned in confusion. This was not like Su Jinxi's behavior. She had clearly looked unhappy when she saw An Qingyue being beaten, but she hadn't said anything.
Jiang Yu added, "But judging from the kind of daughter she raises, I don't think she's a good person either."
Song Yan said, "You were absolutely right."
Rong Shu and Jiang Yu both looked at Song Yan.
Song Yan didn't really want to talk about gossip and private matters between her elders, but she couldn't help it today.
She said, "An Qingyue's mother and her father were remarried. Madam An was a famous beauty when she was young. I heard that many business tycoons fell in love with her at first sight. However, I heard that she was already married at the time, but she still successfully married into the An family. Su Qingzhi is her child with her ex-husband."
Jiang Yu suddenly realized, "So this means Madam An abandoned her husband to marry into a wealthy family. She's definitely not a good person. Like mother, like daughter."
Rong Shu chuckled and said, "However, An Qingyue is far inferior to this Madam An."
Song Yan understood the meaning behind Rong Shu's words, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips. She said, "Indeed, if An Qingyue had any tricks up her sleeve, she would have married into the Sheng family long ago. It's just a pity that she only has a pretty face but no brains."
Sheng Tingchen dotes on An Qingyue, but it seems that it is Sheng Tingchen who is unilaterally controlling their relationship.
Rong Shu now genuinely hopes that An Qingyue will use her brain and that she can get Sheng Tingchen to divorce her.
The group sat on the sofa outside, waiting.
Jiang Yu chose a set of jewelry and a hair clip that Ya Ya liked.
Rong Shu and Song Yan each chose a bracelet.
Of course, Jiang Yu wanted to pay the bill, and they didn't stop her, after all, she was a rich woman with money to burn.
I waited for more than ten minutes.
Song Yan said, "Why isn't Meimei coming out yet? Are you not letting her out?"
Rong Shu looked towards the VIP room.
Shen Yurong definitely didn't want Meimei to have much contact with her, but Meimei was very dependent on her now and would definitely want to follow her.
She was thinking about it.
I heard noises coming from upstairs.
The group looked toward the stairs and saw Shen Yurong leading Meimei down, with Su Jinxi and An Qingyue following behind.
Shen Yurong really didn't want Meimei to continue following Rong Shu today, but Meimei was unwilling. As the child grew older, her self-awareness became stronger, and she had more and more contact with Rong Shu, becoming more and more attached to her.
"Aunt Evelynn!"
After going downstairs, Meimei ran towards Rong Shu.
Rong Shu stepped forward.
Shen Yurong gave Rong Shu a cold look, then said a few words to Meimei.
"Goodbye, Grandma Su."
Meimei waved to them.
"Xiao Shu, let's go!"
Jiang Yu's voice came through.
Rong Shu composed herself and stopped thinking about it.
Shen Yurong and the other two left the shop.
Su Jinxi asked, "Since this Miss Evelynn is Meimei's mother, why hasn't she acknowledged Meimei as her mother?"
Shen Yurong's eyes were cold as she said, "She abandoned the child and left back then. Now that she's back, of course she's too ashamed to admit it. It's good that she still has some self-awareness."
The three of them separated once they reached the underground parking lot.
An Qingyue got into the car and cried to her mother.
Su Jinxi quickly comforted her, "Mom knows you've been wronged, but Sheng Tingchen dotes on Meimei, so you have to like her. Even if you don't like her, you have to pretend to like her. Don't forget what Mom told you."
An Qingyue cried, "But Mom, I really can't stand that little bitch."
"Qingyue!" Su Jinxi stopped her, "If you still want to marry Tingchen, you must do this. Now that you've been wronged, Madam Sheng will only feel sorry for you."
An Qingyue choked up, understanding what her mother meant. Shen Yurong had just given her a valuable necklace to comfort her.
She clenched her fingers. "I understand."
By evening.
I haven't received any calls from Pei Yu or Sheng Tingze, and I don't know what's going on.
Rong Shu and the others went to Lansong Garden for dinner.
I happened to run into Mr. Hu and his team from Caijing Weekly.
Rong Shu chatted with them for a while.
Song Yan and Jiang Yu took the child to the private room on the second floor first.
Rong Shu didn't talk for long.
I just went upstairs.
Her phone vibrated, and when she picked it up, she saw that it was Sheng Tingze calling. She answered and walked towards a quiet balcony.
"Hey, Tingze."
Sheng Tingze asked, "Have you had dinner?"
"How's the situation at the restaurant? How did the talk with Ren Gang go?"
Sheng Tingze said, "We haven't seen anyone yet. Pei Yu and I just arrived in Macau, and we probably won't be going back tonight."
Rong Shu frowned. "Ren Gang is in Macau. Did he go gambling?"
Sheng Tingze hummed in agreement. "We checked his bank statements today, and the discrepancies are enormous."
Rong Shu instantly understood and said, "Okay, then you must be careful."
"Okay, you go eat first!"
Rong Shu said, "Okay."
I hung up the phone.
Rong Shu put down her phone and sighed heavily.
Ren Gang was definitely set up.
His personality makes him easy to manipulate; I just hope it's not too late to realize it now.
She leaned against the railing and enjoyed the night breeze for a while.
Until Song Yan called.
Rong Shu finally came to her senses, composed herself, and turned to leave. As she passed the corner, she heard a familiar voice, took a step forward, and looked up to see a man making a phone call.
Who else could it be but Sheng Tingchen?
An Qingyue followed beside him, and when she saw her, she couldn't hide the hatred in her eyes.
Rong Shu's expression wasn't much better; it seemed she could run into them everywhere she went.
Rong Shu looked away.
Sheng Tingchen looked at her, said a few words to the person on the other end of the phone, and then hung up.
Rong Shu walked straight past them as they left.
Sheng Tingchen asked, "Where's Meimei?"
Rong Shu stopped and looked at Sheng Tingchen, coldly saying, "You can flaunt your woman everywhere, but don't bring her in front of Meimei again."
