Chapter 253 Sending a midnight snack to his wife
"You may be able to control the unpredictable battles in the business world, but people's hearts are ever-changing, and matters of the heart are the hardest to grasp."
Sheng Tingchen picked up the red wine, poured himself a glass, and listened to Su Qingzhi's words. He smiled and said, "That's certainly true."

Rong Qingwen returned home in a good mood.
Pei Lanhua held Xiaobao on the sofa and read him stories from a storybook. Xiaobao didn't know if he understood or not, but he listened with great interest.
Hearing the noise, Pei Lanhua turned around and looked back. "You're back."
Rong Qingwen stepped forward, picked up her son, and played with him.
"Hasn't Xiaoshu and the others returned yet?"
"Still at the company. Everyone's super busy at the end of the year. Who are you having dinner with tonight?"
Pei Yu didn't tell them what happened to Rong Shu yesterday. She's fine now, so they don't have to worry about her anymore.
Rong Qingwen sat on the sofa with her son in her arms and didn't hide it from Pei Lanhua, saying, "I had dinner with my son."
Upon hearing this...
Pei Lanhua immediately understood who his son was. Her expression hardened, and she became wary. She asked, "Why haven't you mentioned your son in Beijing before? Did he contact you?"
Su Jinxi is a scoundrel, so what good could her son be?
He never sought help from his father when his father was in trouble, but now that his father needs his help, he comes knocking on the door. What good could come of this?
Rong Qingwen had been thinking about how to explain to Pei Lanhua the whole way. Knowing that she was now disgusted with Jinxi, he could only go along with her and answer, "I asked Su Jinxi about my son before and found out that he is in Beijing. We haven't seen each other for so many years, we should at least meet."
Pei Lanhua knew that he had always missed his son, and now that they had finally met, it was a long-cherished wish fulfilled. Although she felt a little bitter inside, she couldn't say anything.
"You guys just chatted idly."
Hearing her wary tone, Rong Qingwen reached out to stop her, smiling as he said, "What else is there to do if we're not chatting?"
"Did he mention Xiao Shu?"
"I mentioned it, just to show I care about her."
Pei Lanhua glanced at him suspiciously, but didn't press the matter further.
"I'd like to invite Qingzhi over for dinner, honey. When would be a good time?"
Pei Lanhua did not agree immediately, after all, she did not know what his purpose was, or whether he was like his mother.
She didn't want to see Xiaoshu get hurt again.
As for Rong Qingwen, he still has a soft spot for his ex-wife and son, so he definitely didn't tell me the whole truth today.
night.
Rong Shu didn't go home because she was working late, and stayed in an apartment in the city.
Pei Yu returned home.
Pei Lanhua prepared a late-night snack for him.
Pei Yu was eating.
Pei Lanhua sat to the side and told him about Rong Qingwen's visit to Su Jinxi's son.
Pei Yu paused in his eating.
Upon hearing that Rong Qingwen and Su Qingzhi had met, he had some guesses in his mind.
"They were definitely not just having a casual chat."
Pei Lanhua sensed the hidden meaning in her son's words and said, "Pei Yu, what do you know?"
Pei Yu only told Pei Lanhua about the near-accident that happened to Xiao Shu.
Pei Lanhua's expression suddenly changed. "What?"
"But Mom, don't worry, Xiaoshu is fine. This matter is inseparable from An Qingyue. An Qingyue's brother, Su Qingzhi, is the son of Su Jinxi and Rong's father. He has a close relationship with Sheng Tingchen. He was the one who dealt with the things that An Qingyue and Su Jinxi did to hurt Xiaoshu before."
She then gave a mocking laugh, "So I got a project from him. Anyway, Su Qingzhi really dotes on his half-sister."
The more Pei Lanhua listened, the uglier her expression became.
As she guessed, he was right. Growing up with Su Jinxi, he couldn't possibly be a good person.
"What a good brother you are! Are you just going to let Xiao Shu's matter go like this?" Pei Lanhua said, suppressing her anger.
"Anyway, it's definitely not a coincidence that Su Qingzhi came to see Rong's father at this time. As for Xiao Shu's matter, Huai Xu should be able to handle it. Ting Ze has also contacted his brother."
Upon hearing this...
Pei Lanhua couldn't help but sigh and said, "Jiang Yu's brother is also loyal and devoted to Xiao Shu. He and Xiao Ze are both good men who can be entrusted with important matters."
But Xiao Shu ended up marrying Sheng Tingchen.
It's all just fate!
As for who Xiaoshu will be with in the future, they won't interfere. After all, Xiaoshu is not divorced yet, and she can choose for herself after she gets divorced.
"Your father still wants him to come to our house for dinner. If Xiao Shu were to see that her own brother is An Qingyue's brother, I wonder how hard it would be for her to accept it."
"yes!"
This was a huge blow to Xiao Shu.
Pei Yu added, "Xiao Shu has been through too much lately, and she's been busy with work. There's also been no progress on the divorce. I don't want her to suffer like this anymore; I'm afraid she really won't be able to handle it."
If Su Qingzhi were to arrive at home, the scene would be unimaginable; there would likely be no scene of siblings reuniting and weeping with joy.
"Xiao Shu will find out sooner or later, but I think we should wait for the right time. At least now is not the time."
Pei Lanhua said, "I understand."
Bishuiwan Apartments.
Rong Shu opened the door and saw the two people standing there. Her pupils dilated in surprise.
She just got back from working overtime.
Jiang Huaixu told her that he had brought her a late-night snack.
Rong Shu was also hungry. She hadn't stayed here for a while, and there wasn't much food at home.
Sheng Tingchen called her, appearing very considerate.
She hadn't told him she was staying here that day, and Rong Shu was surprised to see him suddenly appear here.
As for Sheng Tingchen knowing, it was because Meimei had called Rong Shu today, wanting her mother to send her to kindergarten tomorrow.
Rong Shu said she would be working late and wouldn't be home, so Grandma Pei wouldn't be able to take care of her, and therefore she wouldn't be able to send her to kindergarten tomorrow.
Meimei is very sensible, but she feels sorry for her mother who has to work so hard.
She immediately called her father, hoping he could persuade her mother not to work so hard.
Hearing what Meimei said.
Sheng Tingchen guessed that Rong Shu would probably stay here tonight.
In an instant.
Rong Shu froze on the spot, then, realizing what was happening, she lowered her eyes and stared at Sheng Tingchen, asking, "What are you doing here?"
Sheng Tingchen ignored the displeasure in the woman's eyes and said in a very natural tone, "Of course, it's to deliver a late-night snack to my wife."
He really immersed himself in his role.
Rong Shu didn't answer him, but looked at the thermos Jiang Huaixu was carrying. "Professor, give it to me!"
Jiang Huaixu handed her the thermos, "It's corn and pork rib soup. Eat it to warm yourself up and then go to bed early."
Rong Shu hummed in agreement. "Professor, you too."
Sheng Tingchen stood aside, completely ignored.
Rong Shu gave him a cold look, then picked up the insulated food container and closed the door. Neither of them went inside.
Jiang Huaixu didn't look at Sheng Tingchen, but turned and walked towards the elevator.
