Chapter 350 Watching her every move
Rong Shu kept her gaze fixed ahead and did not answer Su Qingzhi's question.
Su Qingzhi glanced at her sideways but didn't press the matter further.
Rong Shu got off the bus at the intersection ahead and then hailed a taxi to leave.
Su Qingzhi followed the taxi in her car until they arrived at the hotel. Rong Shu got out of the car and walked into the hotel lobby, where she ran into Sheng Tingchen, who was coming out.
Sheng Tingchen saw her and stepped forward.
Rong Shu walked straight past him without looking at him.
Sheng Tingchen reached out and grabbed her, but Rong Shu abruptly pulled her hand back, her voice carrying a warning: "Don't touch me."
Sheng Tingchen lowered his eyes and met the woman's angry gaze.
Rong Shu didn't even glance at the man before turning and striding away.
Sheng Tingchen stood there, his gaze fixed on her departing figure until she completely disappeared from sight. He paused for a long while, and as he turned to leave, he saw a familiar car parked not far away.
He strode forward.
He opened the passenger door, got in, and asked, "Where did she go today?"
Su Qingzhi said, "I ran into her and Zhao Zheng on Wutong Road. I don't know what Zhao Zheng said to Xiao Shu."
The words fell.
Sheng Tingchen frowned.
Su Qingzhi turned to look at him, "But it must have been about you."

Rongen Branch Office.
Jiang Huaixu was handling emails in his office.
At this time.
An internal call came in.
"President Jiang, a Mr. Zhao Zheng wishes to see you."
Upon hearing this...
Jiang Huaixu's face darkened, and he said, "Have him come to my office."
"Yes."
soon.
The office door opened, and Zhao Zheng walked in. Seeing Jiang Huaixu, he smiled and said, "President Jiang."
Jiang Huaixu put the documents in his hand aside, his cold, sharp eyes behind his glasses looking at him. "I haven't even looked for you yet, but you've taken the initiative to come to me."
Zhao Zheng smiled slightly, "I heard that President Jiang was injured before, but it seems he is recovering well."
Jiang Huaixu narrowed his dark eyes slightly. "What brings you here?"
"I just wanted to have a chat with you, Mr. Jiang." Zhao Zheng didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point. "You know, what's the point of you following Evelynn around like a shameless protector without any recognition, other than feeling good about yourself?"
This is completely unlike your usual style. Of course, I know you, Mr. Jiang, are a man of few desires and have little experience in matters of love and relationships, but when it's time to fight, you have to fight. Waiting will get you nowhere.
Jiang Huaixu stared at him with deep eyes.
Looking at Jiang Huaixu's expressionless face, Zhao Zheng chuckled and said, "Of course I can understand. Evelynn is still a married woman. You have your principles. You don't want to be the other woman, and you don't want Evelynn's reputation to be tarnished. But you're just too concerned about principles. It's not just President Jiang who can't have the love he desires. Evelynn isn't having a good life with Sheng Tingchen either. So there's no need to set such high moral standards for yourself. Those are just for restraining lower-class people. President Jiang, you're different."
Jiang Huaixu leaned back in his chair, his cold gaze falling on Zhao Zheng. He said, "Don't try to teach me how to do things with your lowlife attitude. You're utterly uncouth. Don't think I don't know what you're up to. I'll never be on your side."
Zhao Zheng's smile gradually faded. Suddenly, he chuckled and said, "Indeed, President Jiang, you are a highly qualified talent cultivated by the country. I can't compare to you, but just because we're not on the same path doesn't mean we won't have the opportunity to cooperate."
"If you cooperate with Anjia now, it's only a matter of time before your interests align. Or I can help you get Sheng Tingchen and Evelynn divorced, so that President Jiang will have the opportunity to pursue Evelynn."
Jiang Huaixu's handsome face darkened, and his voice grew colder, carrying a warning tone. He said, "Zhao Zheng, we haven't settled our score yet. Think carefully about where you are right now. If you dare to make a move on Evelynn, I'll make sure you don't leave alive."
At this time.
A knock came at the door.
Jiang Huaixu gave him the order to leave: "You can go now."
Zhao Zheng composed himself and said, "Alright, I won't disturb your work, Mr. Jiang."
After Zhao Zheng left.
The assistant came in to report on the work.
It was almost six o'clock when he finished his work. He took out his phone and called Rong Shu. The call was answered quickly, and Rong Shu's tone was normal. "Professor."
"Have you got a meal yet?"
"not yet."
"Let's eat together, what would you like to eat?"
Rong Shu said, "I've already asked the hotel to send the food up. I'm a bit tired today and don't really want to go out."
Jiang Huaixu didn't press her further. "Alright then, where did you go this afternoon? You look so tired?"
Rong Shu casually brushed it off.
I hung up the phone.
Jiang Huaixu put down his phone, his brows furrowing involuntarily. How could he not hear the weariness in Rong Shu's tone? Clearly, she wasn't really tired from playing, but rather had something on her mind that she didn't want to tell him.
It could only be something related to Sheng Tingchen.
His hand gripping the phone tightened involuntarily, and he stared into deep thought with his dark eyes.
Inside the hotel.
Rong Shu picked up the wine glass on the coffee table, tilted her head back and drank the wine in one gulp. Her cheeks flushed red from the alcohol. She leaned back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with her eyes full of unspeakable weariness.
knock knock knock.
A knock came at the door.
Rong Shu came to her senses and got up to open the door.
Hotel staff pushed food carts to the entrance, while another person stood next to them.
The moment the door opened.
The staff member sensed the awkward atmosphere and quickly composed herself, saying respectfully, "Ms. Rong, I'll bring your dinner in."
Rong Shu withdrew her gaze and turned away.
After placing the food on the table, the staff pushed the food cart out the door.
Rong Shu wanted to close the door.
As the staff left, Sheng Tingchen stepped inside and closed the door.
Rong Shu looked at the man, her face expressionless, her whole being exuding a calm indifference that seeped into her very bones.
She looked away.
He turned and walked towards the dining table, pulled out a chair, picked up his chopsticks, ate a bite of rice, silently picked up some vegetables, and chewed mechanically as if he were chewing wax.
Sheng Tingchen sat down opposite her and quietly watched her eat.
The only sound in the quiet room was Rong Shu eating.
It's probably because I ate too fast.
Suddenly, I choked on the rice and it went down my throat.
Rong Shu couldn't help but cough.
Sheng Tingchen got up, walked to the water dispenser, took out a cup, poured a glass of warm water, and handed it to her, saying, "Drink some water."
Rong Shu coughed violently again. Sheng Tingchen reached out to pat her back. As soon as his hand landed, Rong Shu suddenly stood up, walked to the water dispenser, filled a glass with water, tilted her head back and drank it all. The feeling of something stuck in her throat disappeared, and she let out a long breath.
She put down the cup in her hand and stood still with her back to the man.
Sheng Tingchen's dark eyes watched her every move.
