Chapter 288 Your business is my business
Rong Shu looked up at the man with a furrowed brow and said, "Sheng Tingchen, have you forgotten our agreement? You have no right to interfere with my freedom."
Sheng Tingchen said, "This is not just a matter of your freedom. You are now a married man, and Jiang Huaixu has his own family who can take care of him. I can repay the debt of gratitude you owe him."
His tone exuded an unyielding and authoritative force.
Rong Shu's eyes darkened, and her attitude became resolute as she said, "Sheng Tingchen, you don't need to pay for me. This is my own business."
Sheng Tingchen said, "Your business is my business now."
Rong Shu frowned at him. "Sheng Tingchen, I'm saying this for the last time: mind your own business."
"What's all the noise about?"
Suddenly a voice came.
Rong Shu looked away.
Sheng Tingchen turned his head and saw Su Qingzhi walking towards him.
Rong Shu saw the man walking in this direction.
Su Qingzhi walked up to the two of them, and seeing Rong Shu's pale face, he asked, "Is President Jiang awake?"
Rong Shu glanced at him, did not respond, and turned to walk into the ward.
Rong Shu returned to her ward.
Su Qingzhi looked at Sheng Tingchen and said, "Jiang Huaixu was injured because of Xiaoshu, so it's only right that she takes care of him now. Don't go too far."
Although he didn't hear clearly what the two were saying, he could roughly guess.
Sheng Tingchen's handsome face was cold and stern. He did not respond to Su Qingzhi's words, but said, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Su Qingzhi stood there watching the man's departing figure.
Until he left.
Su Qingzhi went to Jiang Huaixu's ward, knocked on the door and went in.
Jiang Huaixu wasn't surprised to see him.
Su Qingzhi glanced at Rong Shu, who was standing on the balcony making a phone call. He walked over, placed the gifts he had brought on the coffee table, and then went to the bedside to look at Jiang Huaixu, asking, "How are you feeling, Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Huai said, "I have nothing to say, thank you for bringing gifts to visit me, President Su."
Su Qingzhi said, "It's only right that I visit you. As long as you're alright, that's good. The New Year is coming soon, so you should take good care of your health as soon as possible."
"..."
After Rong Shu hung up the phone with Pei Lanhua, upon hearing Su Qingzhi's words, she realized that Sheng Tingchen's sincerity paled in comparison to his own.
She stood on the balcony basking in the sun, not going over to disturb their conversation; the warm winter sun felt especially comforting on her.
The two chatted for a while.
Su Qingzhi didn't stay long. "President Jiang, please take good care of yourself. I'll come to visit you another day."
He stood up and looked at Rong Shu standing on the balcony.
Rong Shu also saw him.
Su Qingzhi smiled at her and then walked out of the ward.
After he left.
Rong Shu returned to her hospital room.
"Su Qingzhi has genuinely come to visit you, Professor."
Jiang Huai said, "I have a feeling that Su Qingzhi seems to have something on her mind."
Rong Shu sat down in a chair, took an apple peeler, and said, "I could feel it too."
Although Su Qingzhi's attitude towards people was gentlemanly, polite, and distant before, it was clearly different now, especially the way he was looking at her now, which gave her a feeling she couldn't quite put her finger on.
Jiang Huaixu said, "Perhaps he has some unspeakable secret in his heart!"
Although Rong Shu found it strange, she wasn't particularly interested in Su Qingzhi's affairs.
"However," Jiang Huaixu suddenly added, "when Su Qingzhi arrived at the company that day, I thought he had already rushed back to Haishi, but I didn't expect him to still be in Beijing and hadn't gone back yet."
Upon hearing this...
Rong Shu then remembered An Qingyue's suicide attempt.
It's one thing that Sheng Tingchen isn't concerned about An Qingyue now.
Why is Su Qing still in Haishi?
"It is indeed quite surprising."
"An Qingyue has had such a big incident. Su Qingzhi's attitude was noticeably colder that day. I wonder what happened between them."
Rong Shu recalled that Su Qingzhi had suddenly entered the hospital and An Qingyue had been sent away by him.
It now seems there must be some problem between these three.
"Anyway, it's none of our business."
Rong Shu peeled a piece of apple and gave it to Jiang Huaixu.
Jiang Huaixu took it and couldn't help but glance at Rong Shu. He had a feeling that this matter might be related to Xiao Shu.
Su Qingzhi arrived downstairs.
They happened to run into Pei Lanhua and Rong Qingwen walking towards them.
The two of them just returned this morning.
Knowing that Rong Shu almost got into trouble, Jiang Huaixu was injured while protecting her.
It's almost noon now.
Pei Lanhua brought over a nutritious meal she had cooked for Jiang Huaixu.
Rong Qingwen saw Su Qingzhi and said, "Qingzhi!"
Su Qingzhi strode forward and called out, "Dad, Aunt Pei."
Pei Lanhua glanced at him indifferently, without responding.
Rong Qingwen asked, "Qingzhi, what are you doing at the hospital?"
Su Qingzhi asked, "I've come to see Jiang Huaixu. Dad, are you here to see him too?"
"Yes! Your Aunt Pei and I went to a wedding last night and only got back this morning. We just found out that your sister almost had an accident. How could such an accident happen out of nowhere? Fortunately, she is alright."
Su Qingzhi nodded, "Jiang Huaixu seems to be in good spirits, he should be fine, Dad, don't worry."
Rong Qingwen breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "So you met with Xiao Shu?"
"Um."
"Then what did you say?"
Su Qingzhi said with a hint of melancholy, "I didn't say anything. I'll find an opportunity to talk to Xiaoshu about it later. Dad, you don't need to say anything."
Upon hearing Su Qingzhi's words, Pei Lanhua did not linger and headed towards the elevator.
Watching Pei Lanhua leave.
Su Qingzhi said, "Dad, you should go up first!"
"Alright, Qingzhi, don't take it to heart. Your Aunt Pei is all bark and no bite."
Su Qingzhi smiled gently and said, "I know."
Rong Qingwen quickly caught up with Pei Lanhua.
Only after her father's figure disappeared from sight did Su Qingzhi turn away and leave.
Got in the car.
Su Qingzhi's phone vibrated. He picked it up, glanced at it, hesitated, and finally answered the call.
"Hello!"
The call was from Su Jinxi.
"Qingzhi, your sister is in the hospital right now. She wants to see you. Aren't you going to come back and see her?" Su Jinxi asked in a sorrowful tone.
Su Qingzhi asked, "Mom, did you know that Xiaoshu almost had an accident too?"
Su Jinxi was startled, paused for a moment, and then asked, "What happened?"
Su Qingzhi said, "Mom, you don't seem that nervous."
Su Jinxi's voice became heavier, filled with helplessness, "Qingzhi, your sister isn't eating or drinking all day. I'm really exhausted and can't handle this kind of testing from you."
Su Qingzhi paused for a moment before speaking, "I have no intention of testing you, Mom. You take good care of Qingyue. I have work to do here, and I'll go back to see her when I have time."
That's all.
Su Qingzhi hung up the phone immediately.
He glanced in the direction of Jiang Huaixu's ward, then looked away and drove away.
In the ward.
Rong Qingwen and Pei Lanhua were extremely grateful to Jiang Huaixu and placed lunch in front of him. "Huaixu, see if this suits your taste. From now on, Auntie will bring you food every day."
