Chapter 335 is indeed different.
After Su Qingzhi left.
Rong Shu followed Jiang Huaixu into his office.
"Why is Su Qingzhi here again?" Rong Shu asked.
Jiang Huaixu picked up the warm water on the table, took a small sip, and said slowly, "Su Qingzhi has come this time to seek cooperation with Rong En."
Rong Shu's brows furrowed suddenly. "Cooperation?"
Because of his investment in Anjia, Rong En and Su Qingzhi are in a completely opposing relationship. In addition, given his deep-rooted interests with Sheng Tingchen, it is even more impossible for him to cooperate with Rong En.
Jiang Huai said, "You know about what happened to the Li family. Now everyone wants a piece of the pie, but the biggest beneficiary is none other than Su Qingzhi."
Rong Shu instantly understood what Jiang Huaixu meant; Su Qingzhi wanted to leverage the Li family's resources to establish a partnership with Jiang Huaixu.
"After this incident, Su Qingzhi has become a household name in Beijing's social circles. As for the cooperation, I haven't agreed to it yet."
Rong Shu asked, "I wonder what Su Qingzhi is really planning?"
Jiang Huaixu gazed intently at her, a deep look in his eyes, and simply said, "Yes!"
Rong Shu didn't ask any further questions, and handed him a document, "This is an overseas project report..."
After the two finished talking.
Jiang Huaixu asked, "What's going on tonight?"
Rong Shu didn't hide anything, "Old Madam Sheng contacted me and asked me to go back to the Sheng family's old residence tonight."
Jiang Huaixu: "This is the first time we've contacted each other in so long?"
Rong Shu hummed in agreement, "That's why I'm also very curious to know what Old Madam Sheng wants to say."
"Okay, then go ahead. Whatever you say, just follow your own heart."
"I know."
After get off work.
Xue Mingcheng drove her to the Sheng family's old residence.
As the car was driving smoothly, Rong Shu's phone suddenly vibrated; it was a WeChat message.
She unlocked her phone and opened the message; the sender's contact was "Gu Zhi"—the son of her father's friend.
Since exchanging contact information, Gu Zhi has liked and commented on every post she makes on her WeChat Moments, and occasionally chats with her. Over time, they've become quite familiar with each other.
Rong Shu looked at the message: Xiao Shu, I have a question I'd like to ask you, and I'd like to hear your opinion and thoughts.
The other person was the son of her father's friend, and she told him to just call her by her name. However, Rong Shu still felt quite awkward when the other person addressed her that way.
Rong Shu replied: Mr. Gu, please speak.
The other party replied: If you accidentally hurt the person you love most, what do you think you should do to make amends and gain their forgiveness?
Rong Shu said: If it is your closest and most important person, how could Mr. Gu hurt them?
After the message was sent, the other party did not reply immediately; the chat box kept displaying "The other party is typing."
Rong Shu pondered to herself that perhaps he didn't know how to answer, since his words inevitably implied an attempt to evade or avoid his responsibilities.
She put down her phone and turned to look out the window.
A few minutes later.
Her phone beeped with WeChat notifications.
Rong Shu picked up her phone and saw the message: Actually, it wasn't that I hurt her without her knowledge; it's just that we've been separated for many years, and I'm ashamed that I never recognized her. I know it might be too late now, and I don't expect her to forgive me, but I still want to do something to make amends.
Rong Shu looked at the text, remained silent for a moment, and slowly replied: I'm afraid I can't answer this question, Mr. Gu. Of course, if it's too early, there might still be a chance to make amends, but if it has caused irreparable damage, then no matter how much we do, it won't be of much significance. Of course, this is just my subjective opinion.
Gu Zhi: I understand what you mean, thank you Xiao Shu.
Rong Shu: You're welcome.
Gu Zhi: Are you off work now?
Rong Shu: Yeah, I'm off work.
Gu Zhi: Well then, have a nice day off from get off work.
The chat has ended.
Rong Shu didn't think much of it.
Meanwhile, Su Qingzhi sat in the car, looking at the chat history on his phone screen, his fingertips tightening slightly, his heart filled with mixed feelings—he looked at Rong Shu's reply and asked himself again and again: Has he really caused irreparable harm to Xiao Shu?
After remaining silent for an unknown period of time, he exited the chat interface, hesitated for a moment, and then dialed Rong Qingwen's number.
Rong Qingwen comforted her, "Your sister is just stubborn but soft-hearted. When you talk to her clearly one day, she will definitely forgive you. You don't know how much Xiao Shu thought about you before. She knows that her brother loves her the most."
Su Qingzhi listened quietly to his father's words. Perhaps Xiao Shu had always thought of him before, but now there was Pei Yu. Pei Yu was a very good and qualified older brother.
Rong Qingwen's words were just to comfort him, but hearing his father's words of comfort made him feel a little better.
"Okay, Dad, I understand."
Around 6:30.
Xue Mingcheng drove to the Sheng family's old residence. He got out of the car first, quickly walked around to the back seat, and opened the car door.
Rong Shu bent down and got out of the car, saying, "You wait here."
"Yes."
As soon as she got out of the car, Butler Wu came out to greet her and bring her inside.
"Miss Rong, please come in."
Butler Wu was respectful, but this respect was the kind of respect one would show to a guest. You could tell from his way of addressing her that the Sheng family did not fully acknowledge her status.
Of course, Rong Shu didn't care.
Without any further pleasantries, Butler Wu led Rong Shu straight into the house and then to the dining room.
"Miss Rong, please have a seat."
Butler Wu pulled out a stool from one side.
Rong Shu slowly sat down.
soon.
When Old Master Sheng arrived at the restaurant, he was dressed in an elegant brocade cheongsam, his hair was neatly combed, and his expression was calm, yet he exuded the air of the matriarch of a large family.
Rong Shu looked at Old Madam Sheng, stood up, nodded slightly, and called out, "Old Madam Sheng."
Old Madam Sheng looked at her and said calmly, "Don't be shy, sit down!"
Rong Shu sat down.
Madam Sheng sat in the main seat, clearly indicating that it was just her and Madam Sheng tonight.
The servant brought out the food.
Madam Sheng said, "See if it suits your taste. If you don't like it, you can have the kitchen make it again."
"No need to trouble yourself, I can eat it."
Madam Sheng hummed in agreement.
During the meal.
The only sounds in the restaurant were the clinking of bowls and chopsticks.
Rong Shu didn't speak up and quietly ate her dinner.
Wait until the meal is finished.
The maid cleared away the tableware.
The two entered the living room.
Madam Sheng waved her hand, leaving only the two of them in the room.
"To be honest, this is the first time in so many years that we've been able to sit down and have a proper chat."
Rong Shu raised her eyes, meeting Old Madam Sheng's gaze with neither humility nor arrogance, and said calmly and directly, "Old Madam Sheng, if you have anything to say, please speak frankly."
Looking at Rong Shu, Old Madam Sheng smiled slightly and said, "It is indeed different now."
