Chapter 336 No one can be Sheng Tingchen's master

Rong Shu remained silent and did not respond.

Old Madam Sheng's gaze fell on her, her tone calm yet carrying an unavoidable sense of pressure as she slowly asked, "I want to hear what you really think about your relationship with Tingchen today."

Rong Shu looked at Old Madam Sheng and said, "I am flattered that you came to ask me for my thoughts alone. But are you just asking casually, or do you already have some plans?"

She knew her place all too well; to Old Madam Sheng, her thoughts were irrelevant.

Old Madam Sheng's aged eyes deepened, and she said, "As for the matter between Tingchen and you, I, as your grandmother, can no longer interfere much. However, regarding the Li family's affairs, Rong Shu, you actually want to see Tingchen handle this matter, right?"

Rong Shu looked at Old Madam Sheng, clearly knowing full well what had happened to the Xi family back then.

How could a matriarch of a large family not see through a woman's thoughts?

Rong Shu did not deny it. "Yes! When I recognized Li Anna, I wanted to see how Sheng Tingchen would handle it in front of me, whether he would turn against the Li family in order to maintain my marriage with him. Unfortunately, I overestimated myself and underestimated Sheng Tingchen."

Sheng Tingchen must have guessed her thoughts, but he was the kind of person who would never allow himself to be arranged; he would always be the one who was high above and in control of others.

He is a person with an extremely strong sense of self, and no one can change that.

If Sheng Tingchen had dealt with Li Anna's matter back then, perhaps she would have considered continuing to be with him for Meimei's sake. Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".

Unexpectedly, Su Qingzhi actually stood up to defend her.

"Rong Shu, although you do have enough assets now, whether it's your youthful beauty or your career, I have to admit that you are very successful as a woman. But one should not be too greedy. If it weren't for Li Anna, you wouldn't have had the opportunity to take advantage of her."

Upon hearing this...

Rong Shu lowered her eyes, her fingers involuntarily tightening.

"I didn't call you here today to criticize you, after all, you gave birth to a child for the Sheng family. But I want to advise you not to be too preoccupied. Now that you've acknowledged Meimei, think more about the child. Being law-abiding is the way to long-term success."

Rong Shu raised her eyes, a faint smile curving her lips, and said, "I can understand your views, Madam. After all, in your opinion, women should be self-disciplined and obedient to men, and even if they suffer, it is their own fault and they should endure it. Unfortunately, I cannot agree with that."

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. Since you're dissatisfied with me now, Madam, why don't you talk to Sheng Tingchen and make him seriously consider divorcing me? Madam can then find a granddaughter-in-law who perfectly fits the Sheng family's ideal."

Madam Sheng's stern face darkened, and then she gave a faint laugh, saying, "Rong Shu, you are still too young and not mature enough. I don't have much to say, but I'd like to remind you not to act impulsively and not to take yourself too seriously."

Having said that, her tone was cold and dismissive, "It's getting late, you should go home!"

Rong Shu gave Old Madam Sheng a deep look, said nothing more, slowly stood up, nodded slightly to Old Madam Sheng, then turned around, straightened her back, and walked out of the living room step by step.

I left the living room.

Butler Wu walked up to Madam Sheng and said, "I never realized Miss Rong was so stubborn."

Old Madam Sheng picked up the teacup on the table, her fingertips gently stroking the rim, her tone full of disappointment: "She only dares to be so tough in front of Tingchen and the Sheng family because she thinks she's capable now and has grown wings."

After a moment's thought, Butler Wu said, "Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid Young Master Tingchen won't easily divorce Miss Rong."

Madam Sheng sighed and said helplessly, "Tingchen held a birthday party for Meimei in Australia this time and publicly acknowledged Rong Shu's identity. Although it didn't cause much of a stir in China, it shows that he had no intention of getting a divorce at all. Life is truly unpredictable. If we had just let them get a divorce back then, we wouldn't have all these troubles now."

What she was most worried about was never Rong Shu's unwillingness to obey or stay obediently by Tingchen's side. With the Li family's matter causing such a stir this time, it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn't do something that would damage Tingchen's reputation next time.

That's what she's worried about.

Rong Shu got into the car and left the Sheng family mansion.

When Old Madam Sheng spoke to her this time, how could she not realize that it was a warning?

It seems she is genuinely worried that she might do something in the future that would damage the reputation of Sheng Tingchen and the Sheng family. Compared to their reputation, nothing and no one else matters.

Thinking about this...

A slight, sarcastic smile involuntarily curved his lips.

So-called wealthy and powerful families are nothing but a bunch of selfish and hypocritical people.

However, it's clear that no one in the Sheng family can truly control Sheng Tingchen now.

At this time.

Her phone vibrated.

Rong Shu took her phone out of her bag and saw that the caller ID showed it was Sheng Tingchen calling.

She answered the phone, held it to her ear, and said coldly, "Hello!"

Sheng Tingchen asked, "Did you go to the old house today?"

His news came out pretty quickly.

Rong Shu said, "If you want to know anything, you can just ask your grandmother. There's no need to come here specifically to ask me."

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, someone said, "Are you angry?"

Upon hearing this...

Rong Shu paused for a moment, then said, "I have nothing to be angry about."

Sheng Tingchen said, "Just listen to what Grandma says, and don't take it too seriously."

Judging from his tone, I wonder if he has already called Old Madam Sheng.

"The financial weekly is hosting an event on Friday, are you going to host it?"

Rong Shu simply hummed in agreement.

Sheng Tingchen said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in the daytime activities, but I will attend the banquet tonight."

It was as if he were explaining his itinerary to his wife.

Rong Shu listened to his words and said calmly, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

"Dad, are you talking to Mom on the phone?"

A beautiful voice came through the receiver.

"Yes, I need to talk to my mom."

"want."

Sheng Tingchen handed the phone to Meimei.

Rong Shu and Mei Mei talked for a while longer.

Friday.

A forum will be held at the convention center at 2 p.m. to discuss opportunities in globalization and emerging markets, and influential figures in the industry will be invited to participate.

Jiang Huaixu was naturally among those invited.

Two senior executives from Yunshan's side participated, and Lu Xue accompanied them to the event.

As Rong Shu was talking with Jiang Huaixu, Yunshan's people came over to greet them. Lu Xue followed beside them, and the two exchanged polite greetings, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

"President Su."

As Rong Shu heard the call, she noticed Su Qingzhi's figure out of the corner of her eye.
