Chapter 464 Sweet as Honey
Rong Shu and Jiang Huaixu returned to the city.
Rong Shu was too tired, so she didn't go out to eat with them. Jiang Huaixu escorted her to the entrance of the residential area.
Su Qingzhi was already waiting for them at the door.
When the car stopped.
Su Qingzhi took the initiative to open the car door for Rong Shu.
Rong Shu got out of the car.
Su Qingzhi asked gently, "Did you have fun?"
Rong Shu glanced at him, nodded slightly, and then walked to the trunk of the car. Jiang Huaixu took out the things he had bought. The three bags weren't heavy; they contained local specialties, small gifts, and some food.
Rong Shu picked up the bag, said something to Jiang Huaixu, and turned to walk straight into the residential area.
Jiang Huaixu looked at Su Qingzhi and said, "Xiao Shu is tired, so let her go back and rest."
Su Qingzhi looked away and hummed in agreement.
Then I got into the car.
Seeing the small items in the car, he reached out, picked them up, and played with them, asking, "Did you just buy these?"
Jiang Huaixu said, "Xiao Shu bought it."
Su Qingzhi put the small item back in its original place, curled her lips slightly, and said nothing more.
Rong Shu went upstairs and into the house, where the nanny quickly took the things from her hands.
Song Yan was sitting in the living room watching TV. When she saw her, she said, "You're back. How was your time?"
Rong Shu walked over, sat on the sofa, and let out a long sigh. "It's quite fun, but very tiring."
The nanny placed the items on the coffee table.
"What did you buy?"
Rong Shu took everything out of the bag—trinkets, figurines, refrigerator magnets—each item was exquisite and beautiful, and all were made with local characteristics.
"Buying so much?"
Rong Shu picked up a fan. "They're so pretty, I couldn't resist buying more. Which one do you like? Anyone can choose."
Song Yan said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Song Yan selected a few.
Rong Shu planned to pack up the rest and send them back to Beijing, along with the two giant panda plush toys she had bought earlier, for Mei Mei and Ya Ya.
Rong Shu ordered a courier online to pick up the package tomorrow.
The two had dinner at home.
The group chat was unusually quiet today. Rong Shu wanted to video chat with Mei Mei, but the call was immediately disconnected.
Rong Shu's heart tightened.
She held the tablet and waited for a while.
No response.
Meimei is currently at the old house, being taken care of by Shen Yurong. The fact that her call was disconnected so abruptly makes it obvious who it was.
Actually, it's not very convenient for her to contact Meimei now; only Meimei takes the initiative to reach out to her.
"What's wrong?"
Song Yan sat down next to Rong Shu.
"Didn't Meimei answer?"
Rong Shu put the tablet away and hummed in agreement.
Song Yan said, "It must have been someone from the Sheng family who saw it and hung up on you. Right now, it's just Sheng Tingchen and Meimei. The others probably just want you to break up with Sheng Tingchen as soon as possible."
Rong Shu simply replied, "Yes!"
Before going to bed at night.
She felt a vague sense of unease.
I can't fall asleep even though I'm lying in bed.
She sat up again, reached for her phone, and sent a message to Sheng Tingchen asking: What is Meimei doing today?
Rong Shu leaned against the headboard, holding her phone and waiting.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, there was still no reply from Sheng Tingchen.
In the end, she could only put her phone aside and lie down on the bed to sleep.
I was very tired today, but suddenly I just couldn't fall asleep, and I don't know when I finally drifted off.
The next day, I picked up my phone immediately, but there was still no reply to the message I sent to Sheng Tingchen.
Her expression darkened slightly.
He paused for a moment.
She called Sheng Tingchen directly.
No one answered the phone.
She put down her phone and stared intently at the screen.
Knock knock knock!
"Xiao Shu!"
Song Yan's voice rang out.
Rong Shu sent Sheng Tingchen a final message, then put down her phone and walked towards the door.
Song Yan came over to wake Rong Shu up, as there was an early meeting this morning and she needed to get there beforehand.
After tidying up.
Time is tight.
Xue Mingcheng drove the two of them to the company.
The morning meeting starts at 10:00 AM.
Rong Shu went to the office first. People greeted her along the way, but when they saw her, there was a clear difference in their eyes.
Rong Shu nodded in response, completely unaware of what was happening.
Once I got to the office, I tidied up and dealt with some emails on my computer.
Song Yan went to the break room to make coffee, intending to deliver it to Rong Shu, who didn't seem to have much to do at this branch office.
She could hear the conversation coming from inside the tea room before she even stepped inside.
"The boss is with Evelynn now, isn't he? The videos clearly show them on a date!"
"But isn't Evelynn the president's wife at Spruce? How could the big boss be with her?"
"Could they already be divorced?"
"How is that possible? Yunshan has only been publicly announcing the divorce for a short time, how could they be divorced so quickly?"
"Could it be that she cheated on him with the big boss? The big boss was willing to be... for love..."
"Perhaps only a stunning beauty like Evelynn could make a big boss so willing to be with her!"
"However, I heard that President Sheng of Yunshan is also extremely handsome."
"There's no such thing as too many handsome men. If there were any men this handsome around me, I would want them all."
"..."
Several female employees were discussing it intensely. This was the first time the big boss had visited the branch office. They had heard that the big boss was an extremely handsome man, and seeing him in person really showed them what the charm of a mature man was.
However, its aura that keeps strangers at bay is intimidating.
Seeing the boss in the video being so gentle in private is truly enviable.
"Where did you see the video and what video did you watch?"
Song Yan walked into the tea room.
The girls who were discussing were startled and looked at Song Yan, knowing that she was a leader who came here with the big boss.
"show me!"
Song Yan spoke in a serious tone.
One of the female employees took out her phone, opened the video, and handed it to Song Yan.
"We saw Evelynn and the big boss in the interview video released by the local cultural and tourism authorities."
Song Yan clicked on the video, and in the third minute, she saw Rong Shu being interviewed. She was holding a string of candied hawthorns in her hand, and Jiang Huaixu was standing next to her, carrying a bag. He looked exceptionally gentle, especially the way he looked down at Rong Shu.
I didn't know that from this angle they really do look like a couple.
This video has become extremely popular, with the most popular comments focusing on the two people's demeanor and appearance.
Someone posted a screenshot of the watch Jiang Huaixu was wearing on his wrist: This watch is worth 30 million yuan, this is a real old money.
Rong Shu was wearing a light-colored casual outfit, which she bought at a street shop when she first arrived in C City. It was very comfortable to wear and cost less than 300 yuan.
Netizens commented: "I have the same outfit too, haha, even rich people are so low-key."
……
Song Yan glanced at the comments. Xiao Shu had been affected by public opinion several times, so she was particularly sensitive to these kinds of news. Fortunately, there were no bad comments.
But the impact is ultimately negative.
She handed it back to the employee.
He then turned and left the tea room to find Jiang Huaixu.
I arrived at the office.
Jiang Huaixu saw her and asked, "What's the matter?"
