Chapter 456 If you want to see me
Sheng Tingchen stared at the document in his hand for a long time before putting it in the drawer.
Rong Shu returned to Repulse Bay to pack her and Mei Mei's luggage, while the nanny was also preparing Sheng Tingchen's luggage.
She received a call from Sheng Tingchen, "I'm taking Meimei back to the old house tonight, she'll be back tonight."
Rong Shu said, "Okay."
Sheng Tingchen hummed in agreement.
The phone went silent.
Rong Shu asked, "Is there anything else?"
Sheng Tingchen: "It's nothing."
Rong Shu: "Then I'll hang up now."
I hung up the phone.
Rong Shu received a WeChat message from Su Qingzhi: How are you doing lately, Xiao Shu?
Rong Shu stared at her phone screen but made no move to reply to the message.
Immediately afterward, Su Qingzhi sent another message: Jiang Huaixu said you're going to City C. The temperature there has been fluctuating lately, making it easy to catch a cold. You might not be used to it when you first arrive, so please take care.
—I sent you some things, they should arrive tomorrow morning.
—Take care of yourself. I'd like to come see you after I'm done with this, if you want to see me.
—Do whatever you want to do, I will definitely support you.
……
—Xiao Shu, I'm sorry.
Su Qingzhi sent these five words last.
He seemed to have a lot to say, but didn't know what to say next.
Rong Shu sat on the sofa, quietly looking at the series of messages that had been sent to her phone screen. Each message showed that the other party was typing for a long time, as if they were carefully choosing their words. Her gaze fell on the last one.
After sending the message, Su Qingzhi stared intently at the screen, his expression tense yet expectant of a reply.
He hadn't dared to contact her these past few days, afraid that she might be in a bad mood and that it might upset her. But recently she hadn't shown any extreme emotional behavior and had been very calm. Jiang Huaixu said he could contact her, so he decided to send her a message.
He thought of many things to say, but after deleting and rewriting, he still didn't know what to say.
He held his phone and waited for a while, but the chat remained silent with no reply. He didn't know whether to be relieved that she hadn't said anything about not forgiving him or to feel disappointed.
At this time.
The assistant knocked and came in.
Su Qingzhi put down her phone, composed herself, and exuded a cold aura.
"President Su, Chairman Wang wants to speak with you at 7 PM tonight. Chairman An will be returning to China tomorrow," the assistant said respectfully.
The conflict between the two sides is currently escalating, and Su Qingzhi shows no signs of backing down. Su Qingzhi has broken through MK's core industry, which is something An Hongda never expected. This shows that Su Qingzhi's reach extends even deeper than he imagined, and he clearly made a mistake in his assessment of Su Qingzhi's trump cards. It is obvious that Su Qingzhi deliberately misled him in his previous judgment.
Furthermore, Zhao Zheng has now been taken back to New York by his father. Zhao's father made it very clear to An Hongda that day that the Zhao family would not participate in the internal strife between the An family and Su Qingzhi, and that the marriage alliance would be discussed later.
The Zhao family's sudden withdrawal was undoubtedly a major blow to the An family.
An Hongda only learned in the last two days that the Zhao family dared not get involved because their overseas capital was constrained, preventing them from taking any rash actions.
It's obvious who has such great ability; it's Sheng Tingchen.
Although Rong En's cooperation with the An family continues, he has already offended Rong En.
Those insiders can clearly see which side has the advantage. Although they don't take sides, their very act of not taking sides proves their choice, since most of these people used to have a closer working relationship with the An family.
So now that someone has stepped in to mediate the situation, An Hongda naturally has no objections.
Su Qingzhi has already met with the top two leaders of Haishi. Anyway, he is not the one who is in a hurry right now. His meaning is very clear: if An Hongda comes up with a solution that satisfies him, he will naturally back down.
The current situation is that things are still at a standstill.
The entire An family is now filled with a tense and suffocating atmosphere.
Mr. An, who had already retired and was recuperating abroad, had no choice but to return to China in person.
On the day she returned to Hai City, An Qingyue fell seriously ill and is still in the hospital. Her mental state is very poor. Su Jinxi has been with her every day, but she has never been in a good mood. She even had a big fight with An Hongda.
That evening.
Rong Shu had dinner alone in Repulse Bay.
Sheng Tingchen accompanied Meimei to the Sheng family's old house for dinner.
Today, everyone in the Sheng family returned to their old house.
The main problem is that Mr. Sheng's health is deteriorating, and doctors have determined that he can only hold on for another year at most.
Therefore, the dinner that night lacked the usual warmth and harmony, instead exuding an unusually heavy atmosphere.
Looking at her emaciated great-grandfather, Meimei knew he was seriously ill, and her heart ached terribly. She held his thin, bony hand and choked out, "Grandpa, you must get better soon so you can play with Meimei."
Grandpa Sheng weakly patted Meimei's hand. He had no energy left, his eyes were cloudy and weak, but he still looked at Meimei with loving eyes. He held her hand tightly and comforted her, "Grandpa will get better and play with Meimei."
Meimei nodded, her eyes red.
Those around watched silently, some even tearing up and turning their heads away.
After dinner.
Sheng Tingchen and Sheng Tingze had a private chat for a while.
"How have things been lately?" Sheng Tingchen asked.
Sheng Tingze simply nodded without saying anything more.
Sheng Tingchen didn't ask any more questions.
Today, everyone in the Sheng family felt particularly heavy-hearted.
On the way home with Meimei, Sheng Tingchen was in low spirits. He held his daughter in his arms, and Meimei suddenly asked, "Daddy, Mommy went to work in City C. Will she come back?"
Sheng Tingchen stroked his daughter's head. "Of course I'll come back."
Mei Mei lowered her head.
Sheng Tingchen noticed his daughter's mood and asked, "What's wrong?"
Meimei leaned against her father and said, "Grandpa is sick now, and Meimei wants to stay with him and hopes he gets better soon."
Sheng Tingchen looked down at his daughter with gentle eyes, "If Meimei doesn't want to go to City C, she can tell her mother."
Meimei looked at her father, her round eyes still red, and mumbled, "Will Mommy be angry?"
Sheng Tingchen smiled and said, "Mom will never be angry with Meimei. She loves Meimei the most."
Meimei lowered her head again. She knew her mother loved her the most, but she still didn't know how to tell her mother.
Sheng Tingchen comforted her.
Inside the villa.
Rong Shu sat in the living room watching TV.
The father and daughter returned at nine o'clock in the evening.
As usual.
When Meimei comes home, the first thing she does is excitedly call out "Mommy!"
Rong Shu clearly noticed this and got up to walk towards the door, where she saw Sheng Tingchen carrying Meimei in, with Meimei listlessly lying on her father.
