Chapter 393 I Don't Like Your Brother-in-Law
A quiet space.
Rong Shu sat for a while, then stood up and said, "You..."
She had just spoken.
Then Sheng Tingchen asked, "How was lunch today?"
Rong Shu paused in her act of standing up, then calmly replied, "It's alright."
"How's the New Zealand beef brisket?" he asked again, his tone so calm it was as if he were genuinely just asking her how the dish was.
Rong Shu felt that he wasn't just asking her how the food was, but she couldn't figure out what else he meant by asking that question. She replied naturally, "The meat is indeed quite tender."
As soon as she finished speaking...
She heard the man chuckle meaningfully, his eyes even looking at her with a hint of sarcasm.
Rong Shu looked into the man's eyes, and her heart inexplicably tightened.
"This dish is not on today's lunch."
Rong Shu tightened her grip, lowered her eyes, took a deep breath, and explained, "I ate the sausage someone else sent me today, so I can't eat the lunch you brought."
"It seems this sausage is more appealing to you."
As Sheng Tingchen spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and took out another piece.
Rong Shu remained silent and did not respond.
"If you didn't eat it, you didn't eat it. What's the point of lying?"
These words left Rong Shu even more at a loss for words. After a moment of silence, she said, "I didn't mean to lie. You asked me how it tasted, and I couldn't very well say I didn't eat it."
Sheng Tingchen said in a tone that remained inscrutable, "You're quite considerate of other people's feelings."
Rong Shu felt uneasy listening to this and retorted, "That's just a normal and reasonable answer."
Sheng Tingchen chuckled softly and didn't continue the conversation with her.
Rong Shu stood up and said, "Eat slowly by yourself."
Sheng Tingchen didn't stop her.
After Rong Shu left.
Sheng Tingchen's phone vibrated. He picked it up and answered, "Hello!"
A respectful voice came from the other end: "Zhao Zheng has been taken away, and our men are also seriously injured."
After listening, Sheng Tingchen showed no emotion on his handsome face and said coldly, "He's quite capable. Who picked him up?"
That's the person on Mr. Qin's side.
"understood."
I hung up the phone.
Sheng Tingchen continued eating his dinner. Looking at the sausages and beef left on his plate, he took a picture with his phone and posted it online with the caption: "You put your heart into this. It really tastes good."
Su Qingzhi quickly received the picture sent by the man. Upon seeing the photo, he frowned, but he quickly realized what was going on and replied: Stop being so presumptuous.
Sheng Tingchen: Are you that angry?
Su Qingzhi: How come I never realized you were so shameless?
Sheng Tingchen: I ate a few pieces of your flesh, there's no need to speak so harshly.
Su Qingzhi did not reply to him again.
Sheng Tingchen put his phone away, got up and left the restaurant. His phone rang again; Su Qingzhi had sent another message: "Xiao Shu is coming to City C. Don't stop her."
Sheng Tingchen looked at the message: What, are you planning to meet her, or do you want to keep her in City C and prevent her from coming back?
Su Qingzhi: I naturally protected her.
Sheng Tingchen: I haven't done anything to her yet.
Su Qingzhi: Anyway, I don't think much of you as my brother-in-law.
Sheng Tingchen: You haven't acknowledged her yet.
Su Qingzhi looked at the man's message but didn't reply.
Sheng Tingchen didn't go upstairs; he sat on the living room sofa watching TV.
After putting Meimei to sleep.
Rong Shu went downstairs.
Sheng Tingchen saw her and asked, "Is Meimei asleep?"
"I'm asleep." Rong Shu walked over and sat on the single sofa next to him. Looking at the man, she said, "I've read the documents you sent me today."
Sheng Tingchen did not respond.
Waiting for her to say something next.
"The project is indeed suitable for Cheng Zhi, but it was given to me by yourself, so I don't owe you any favors." At first, she did want to refuse Qin Xue, but Sheng Tingchen took it upon himself to approve Cheng Zhi's proposal.
Sheng Tingchen stared at her face, chuckled, and said, "I didn't say you owe me a favor. Since you've already made up your mind, someone will handle this matter. You don't need to worry about it."
Rong Shu didn't say anything, just hummed in agreement.
"And who is his wife to you?"
Rong Shu said, "A friend I met five years ago, my personal trainer."
Sheng Tingchen didn't ask any further questions, saying, "Go and rest first!"
Rong Shu got up and went upstairs.
the next day.
Rong Shu contacted Wen Dong and, after saying a word, did not go to Cheng Zhi again.
Around 5 p.m., she drove to the convention center and received a call from Qin Xue on the way, who earnestly invited her to come to her home, but Rong Shu declined.
Qin Xue understood Rong Shu's meaning. This was a one-time favor for her to help Cheng Zhi, so she didn't insist on inviting her to her home. Instead, she said, "How about we eat out? I've made a reservation. When are you free? I really just want to thank you properly, Xiao Shu."
Eating at someone's home versus eating at a restaurant conveys a different attitude.
Rong Shu agreed.
Qin Xue was relieved.
Arrived at the entrance of the convention center.
She took out her phone and called Sheng Tingze.
He's here today for an event.
He had jokingly suggested that Rong Shu pick him up from get off work, but Rong Shu agreed.
"It will probably take another twenty minutes, please wait for me."
Rong Shu said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
"it is good."
I hung up the phone.
Rong Shu waited in the car, working on her tablet.
I received two more work-related phone calls during that time.
knock knock knock.
A knocking sound came from the window.
Rong Shu turned her head, put down the tablet in her hand, and said, "Get in the car!"
Sheng Tingze opened the car door and got in.
Rong Shu looked at him, sized him up, and said, "It's been a while since I've seen you, you seem to have lost weight."
Sheng Tingze laughed and said, "You know how bad white food is. I'm barely clinging to life every day."
Rong Shu smiled and said, "You sound so miserable, you'll have to make up for it when you get back. I'll treat you to a big meal today."
I originally invited Sheng Tingze to my house for dinner tonight, but Pei Yu has a dinner party tonight, so I changed the time.
Sheng Tingze: "Didn't we agree that I would treat you?"
Rong Shu started the gas pedal. "Next time, you can treat me to the same thing."
Sheng Tingze didn't stand on ceremony and said, "Okay then."
along the way.
The two chatted idly.
As for the matter between Rong Shu and Sheng Tingchen, Sheng Tingze did not ask any further questions.
We arrived at the Hui Cui Building.
Rong Shu had booked a private room in advance.
The two walked into the lobby chatting and laughing, unaware of the people getting off the car behind them.
Until he heard a voice, "Tingze."
Sheng Tingze paused, turned around, and saw Sheng Tingyu, and Sheng Tingchen, who got out of the car right after him.
When Rong Shu saw him appear, she was taken aback. What a coincidence!
"Brother, cousin," Sheng Tingze greeted.
Sheng Tingyu glanced at Rong Shu, who smiled politely and greeted him formally, "Mr. Sheng."
