After eight years of coldness, you're asking for a divorce? I'm signing the papers, what&#

Chapter 389 He has no face to see you

Orisa said, "I'll go upstairs and take a look."

"it is good."

Meimei had just agreed when she saw her father come in and called out, "Dad."

Sheng Tingchen remained calm, stepped forward, and ruffled her hair with his large hand, saying, "We're going to have dinner at Great-Grandma's house tonight."

"Okay." Meimei turned to look at her mother, "Then Mom, come with us tonight."

Rong Shu said, "Mom isn't fully recovered from her illness yet, so she wants to rest at home today. Meimei and Daddy, why don't you go?"

What does Meimei want to say?

Sheng Tingchen said, "Meimei, let your mother rest at home."

Meimei turned to look at her father, "Okay then!"

Rong Shu looked at the man in the main seat.

Sheng Tingchen glanced at her and said, "If you're bored, have your friend come and keep you company."

The man's tone was relatively gentle, which startled Rong Shu, as if the way he looked at her last night had been an illusion.

Rong Shu said, "I might have to go home today."

Around 5 p.m.

Sheng Tingchen took Meimei to the Sheng family's old residence.

Not long after they left, Rong Shu also returned to the Rong family.

She told Rong Qingwen and Pei Lanhua about her plans to go to City C.

Hearing her words.

The couple fell silent.

Compared to Pei Lanhua's reluctance to part.

Rong Qingwen, on the other hand, remained much calmer.

Because Su Qingzhi had told him about this before, he still wanted the two siblings to recognize each other as soon as possible. This time, Xiaoshu went to City C, and since Qingzhi was there to take care of him, he felt at ease.

Rong Shu held Pei Lanhua's hand and persuaded her, "Mom, it's not that far, only a two-hour flight. I can come back anytime I want."

Pei Lanhua understood, of course.

Now that Sheng Tingchen has made their relationship public, it will definitely cause controversy if Xiao Shu continues to work for Rong En, and it's impossible for Xiao Shu to resign.

Leaving temporarily is the best option.

"Then Meimei will not bear to see you leave."

Rong Shu now spends most of her time living with Mei Mei in Repulse Bay, as Mei Mei is very dependent on her.

"I'll talk to Meimei nicely."

Actually, she suddenly felt uncertain.

Today, she actually intended to tell Meimei what would happen if her father and mother separated that day.

But Meimei was very emotional and said, "Mom and Dad will not separate. Meimei will always be with Mom and Dad. Mom will also give birth to younger brothers and sisters for Meimei. Mom has never been with Meimei before, but from now on, Mom will always be with Meimei."

This left Rong Shu unsure how to continue the conversation with Mei Mei, so she could only try to comfort her.

After dinner in the evening.

Rong Shu then went back to her room to rest.

At this time.

A knock sounded on the door, and Rong Qingwen's voice came through, "Xiao Shu."

"Come in."

Rong Qingwen pushed open the door and entered, carrying something in his hand.

"Dad, you need to see me."

Rong Qingwen stepped forward, sat on the sofa, and handed the beautifully packaged box to Rong Shu. "Take a look and see if you like it?"

Rong Shu took it with a puzzled look. Judging from the quality and appearance of the packaging box, it must contain a set of jewelry.

"Dad, who sent this?"

"Open it and take a look first."

Rong Shu opened it and found an emerald ring inlaid with diamonds, which was obviously very expensive.

"This is……"

Rong Shu was shocked. Pei Lanhua managed Rong Qingwen's money, and her father couldn't afford to buy these things. Besides, he didn't know much about these things.

Could it be that Gu Zhi again?

Thinking of him.

She had forgotten about the dinner they had agreed to meet, and he hadn't contacted her recently either, though he would occasionally send her expensive gifts.

Rong Shu was really curious about him, so it seemed she really needed to find time to ask him out for a meeting.

Rong Qingwen suddenly hesitated, seemingly unsure how to begin, but finally said, "Actually, this was sent by your mother."

Rong Shu was initially taken aback, but quickly realized who his mother was. However, to her, her biological mother was already too unfamiliar.

For her and her father to be able to give her such an expensive diamond ring, it seems that her mother and brother are really doing very well.

But they hadn't been in contact at all for so many years, and now he suddenly gave her such an expensive diamond ring, but she felt no emotion whatsoever.

She put the box away and asked, "Why did she suddenly contact you, Dad, and send such an expensive gift?"

Rong Qingwen said, "Sheng Tingchen made your relationship with him public. Your mother must have seen the news. She must have recognized you at first glance. She contacted me. I originally said I didn't need it, but I didn't expect her to send it over. I thought I'd see if you liked it."

Rong Shu handed the box to Rong Qingwen and said, "Dad, let's return it."

Rong Qingwen urged, "This is, after all, a small token of your mother's affection; Xiaoshu, please accept it!"

Rong Shu's hand holding the box tightened continuously.

For so many years, her mother and brother have been missing without a trace. For a long time, she has longed for her mother to bring her brother back so that they can live together as a family again.

So when her father and Aunt Pei got together, she was very resistant, feeling that Aunt Pei was trying to take her mother's place.

But after years of waiting, it all came to nothing.

Now, when I think of my mother and brother, my once calm heart is inevitably stirred by turmoil—whether it's resentment or hatred, perhaps it once was.

She slowly put the box down.

There was a long silence.

She looked up at her father, met his gaze, and asked, "Dad, I've been receiving gifts since the New Year. They weren't from any of your friends, but from my brother, right?"

Rong Qingwen was taken aback.

Seeing her father's reaction, she knew the answer.

Rong Qingwen knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he could only admit, "It's your brother. Dad didn't mean to hide it from you, but your brother said that he hasn't been in contact with you for so many years, and he feels ashamed to face you. He hasn't figured out how to face you, so he can only keep it a secret."

Hearing her father's admission, Rong Shu slowly lowered her eyes. She couldn't quite describe her feelings, only a wave of bitterness welling up inside her, and her eyes began to sting.

Rong Qingwen reached out and took Rong Shu's hand, saying, "Your brother hasn't had it easy these past few years either. It's not that he didn't want to come to us, but he had no choice. He's always been thinking of you."

Rong Shu sniffed, trying to suppress her emotions. After a long while, she said in a choked voice, "I know, Dad, you can go out first. I want to be alone for a while."

Rong Qingwen didn't disturb her, "Okay, Dad won't bother you."

"Um."

Rong Qingwen got up and left the room, then took out his phone and dialed Su Qingzhi's number.

I briefly explained the situation to him, and suddenly I felt inexplicably nervous. I had never been so nervous in all the years of hardship and adversity.

Su Qingzhi gripped her phone tightly, only to hear Rong Qingwen say, "Xiao Shu must be missing you. She even cried when she mentioned you."

The child is older now and can't freely express his emotions in front of his father like he did when he was little.
