Chapter 182 As Expected
Upon hearing this, Sheng Tingchen's eyes turned cold. He then gave a cold snort and strode out of the building.
Jiang Huaixu withdrew his gaze, looked down at Rong Shu, and said in a gentler voice, "Let's go, let's go up first."
Rong Shu took a deep breath, calmed herself down, nodded, and said, "Okay."
Back in the ward.
Rong Shu said angrily, "I underestimated his shamelessness and ability to distort the truth."
Jiang Huaixu looked at her, seemingly not taking Sheng Tingchen's words to heart at all. For a moment, he didn't know whether to feel fortunate or helpless.
Her emotional system is now completely suppressed by the emotions of divorce and her feelings for Meimei, and she seems to have no extra energy to perceive the emotions of others.
He sighed inwardly and said, "With people like this, emotions won't solve anything."
Rong Shu let out a sigh of relief.
Although she tried countless times to calm herself down and not let Sheng Tingchen sway her emotions, he would often make her furious with just a single sentence.
If Jiang Huaixu hadn't stopped her, she really would have lost her temper.
"However, the best solution is to avoid too much contact with him. With a strong sense of self like Sheng Tingchen, it's difficult for anyone to gain the upper hand over him."
Rong Shu nodded.
That's absolutely right.
noon.
Song Yan came to visit Jiang Huaixu.
The three of them had lunch together.
Rong Shu and Song Yan didn't stay long and left the hospital around that time.
Rong Shu went home.
The car pulled up in front of the Rong family villa.
A white Maserati drove towards us.
Meanwhile, Su Jinxi, sitting in the back seat of the Maserati, saw Rong Shu in the driver's seat of the car in front of her, her expression indifferent.
Rong Shu returned home.
Rong Qingwen was sitting alone on the sofa; Pei Lanhua and Xiao Bao were not there.
"dad."
Rong Shu called out.
Rong Qingwen snapped out of his daze, composed himself, and turned to look at Rong Shu. "Xiao Shu, you're back."
Rong Shu stepped forward and asked, "Where are Mom and Xiao Bao?"
Rong Qingwen said, "I'm putting Xiaobao to sleep upstairs. He's back today. Where's Meimei?"
"Meimei went to the Sheng family's old house."
Rong Qingwen nodded gently. "Xiao Shu, come and sit down."
Rong Shu sat on the sofa beside him. "Dad, what's wrong?"
Rong Qingwen looked at Rong Shu and said earnestly, "Shu, have you ever thought about going back to America?"
Rong Shu asked in confusion, "Dad, why would you ask that?"
"Dad just thinks that it would have been better if you hadn't had any contact with Sheng Tingchen back in the US. You wouldn't be in so much pain now. The fact that you're suing him now is only making him more determined to get back at you and not let you go."
Rong Shu listened to her father's words and realized that he was right.
"If you hadn't been in contact, if you hadn't met Meimei, he would have definitely wanted to end your marriage sooner or later."
Rong Shu looked at her father and said, "Dad, do you mean you want me to go back to America?"
Rong Qingwen said, "Of course Dad doesn't want you to go back. I just want to discuss it with you. It's up to you to decide. Dad is worried that your relationship with Meimei will get too deep, which will be a hardship for both you and the children. Dad still hopes that you will have a happy family in the future."
Su Jinxi is right.
Meimei is still a child of the Sheng family. Even if she is Xiaoshu's daughter, she has nothing to do with the Rong family.
Xiao Shu will inevitably get married in the future. He hopes that Xiao Shu will have a loving husband, children, and a happy family of three together.
Instead of the current situation where people have children but cannot acknowledge them.
Seeing that Xiaoshu's feelings for Meimei were growing deeper, he was worried that it would affect Xiaoshu's attitude towards her next relationship.
Rong Shu remained silent.
half an hour.
She slowly said, "I understand what Dad means, and I will consider it."
Rong Qingwen nodded. "No rush, take your time to consider it."
Rong Shu hummed in agreement, got up, went upstairs, and returned to her bedroom.
The Sheng family mansion.
They only learned a few days ago that Sheng Tingchen's divorce case had its first hearing.
Meimei was taken out to play by her two cousins.
Looking at her grandson, Madam Sheng asked, "Meimei suddenly said today that she has a mother. Since she was going to file for divorce and didn't want to acknowledge Meimei, why did she suddenly acknowledge Meimei? Does she really want to divorce you, or is she just playing some kind of trick?"
She's finding Rong Shu increasingly unpleasant to look at.
Five years ago, when she had just married Sheng Tingchen, she was a gentle and docile person. At that time, she thought that she could manage the household and take good care of Tingchen, so she gave her a lot of advice.
Unexpectedly, she had a lot on her mind.
Sheng Tingchen said, "It doesn't count as a formal recognition."
Old Madam Sheng frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"
A faint, sarcastic smile played on Sheng Tingchen's lips as he said, "It's just a temporary acknowledgment."
Madam Sheng's expression grew increasingly solemn.
Old Master Sheng listened from the side, his face very grim. "Tingchen, if she wants a divorce, then cut ties with her cleanly as soon as possible. What's the point of keeping a woman like that around? What do you mean by temporarily acknowledging her? Just stop acknowledging her altogether. Don't let Meimei have any contact with her. What if she uses Meimei to do something to you?"
Sheng Tingchen's voice was low and cold, "She doesn't have that ability yet. Grandpa and Grandma, don't worry about the divorce. I know what I'm doing."
"dad."
Meimei suddenly ran back to the living room.
Madam Sheng and Master Sheng then stopped talking.
Meimei threw herself into her father's arms and said, "Daddy, can you call Mommy and ask her to come to Grandpa and Grandma's house for dinner tonight?"
Sheng Tingchen stroked his daughter's head and said, "Let's do it another day! Daddy has something to do tonight."
Meimei muttered, "But Aunt Evelynn is only Meimei's mom for one week."
Sheng Tingchen said gently, "Then you can let her extend the time she can be Meimei's mother."
Meimei was a little worried, "Will Aunt Evelynn agree? Won't she think Meimei is being too immature?"
No, it won't.
Hearing her father's words, Meimei finally felt relieved.
"Then I'll ask Aunt Evelynn tonight."
"Um."
Rong Shu considered it for a day.
Finally, I decided to go abroad to deal with the KU matter.
She told Jiang Huaixu about it when she went to work on Monday.
Jiang Huaixu agreed, "It would be good for you to go abroad to relax. Rushing into a divorce won't solve anything."
Rong Shu hummed in agreement, thought for a moment, and then asked Jiang Huaixu, "Should I withdraw the divorce lawsuit?"
Jiang Huaixu looked at her.
Rong Shu continued, "Sheng Tingchen just wants to wear me down. There's no point in me continuing to fight this lawsuit. If it really takes several years to fight this lawsuit, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on and will go crazy. Now that I'm going against him, his desire for control will only make him more determined to keep me from me. It's better to just withdraw the lawsuit. He can't possibly stop remarrying because of me."
Jiang Huaixu nodded upon hearing this.
"Indeed, if you've thought it through, you can talk to Attorney Guo."
Rong Shu hummed in agreement.
Before going abroad.
She finished all her work in China.
She spoke with Attorney Guo on the phone that day.
Attorney Guo respects the client's personal wishes.
Spruce Group.
After finishing his meeting, Sheng Tingchen returned to his office and received a call from his lawyer.
"Mr. Sheng, Miss Rong has withdrawn her lawsuit."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Tingchen's handsome face showed little change in emotion, as if it were nothing more than something he had expected.
"understood."
I hung up the phone.
The time that follows.
Rong Shu devoted all her energy and time to her work.
Meimei called her, and hearing her daughter's voice, Rong Shu could only suppress her emotions. "Aunt Evelynn has been very busy with work lately. How about we spend more time with Meimei when she's less busy?"
She asked Sheng Tingze that day, and he said that Meimei had recovered very well in the two years since her surgery. Her family doted on her, so Meimei was very happy every day and had not had a relapse.
Thinking about how Meimei was recently upset because of her, and even had to be hospitalized again.
Perhaps she really shouldn't have come back in the first place.
She shouldn't let Meimei become dependent on her.
Meimei was a little sad because she hadn't seen Aunt Evelynn for several days, but Aunt Evelynn was very busy, and she didn't want to make things difficult for her.
"Okay then! Aunt Evelynn, could you come with me to my sister Nannan's birthday party this week?"
She received a call from Jiang Weiyang today, inviting her to dinner.
She didn't reply at the time, thinking that sending a gift would suffice.
But Meimei spoke up again.
She's going abroad next week, so it won't hurt to spend some more time with Meimei.
She agreed.
Meimei finally smiled happily again.
