Chapter 6 Unable to Reach Out of Reach
knock knock knock.
"Xiao Shu, your father and the others are back," Pei Lanhua said, knocking on the door.
Rong Shu didn't think much of it. She put down the photo album, got up and left the room. When she saw the two people entering, she happily called out, "Dad, brother."
Pei Yu and Rong Qingwen looked at Rong Shu.
"Xiao Shu, I brought you a gift. Come and see if you like it?" Pei Yu greeted her.
Rong Shu stepped forward with delight, "What gift?"
Pei Yu carried the bags and placed them on the coffee table.
Pei Yu took out a branded jewelry box and handed it to her, "Open it and take a look."
Rong Shuxin happily accepted it, and opened it to reveal an exquisitely crafted gold bracelet. "Thank you, brother, I really like it."
"If you like it, that's good."
Pei Yu reached out and affectionately ruffled Rong Shu's hair.
Pei Yu bought Pei Lanhua a new gold bracelet that suited her, and also brought back a set of skincare products for each of them. He brought back tea and wine for Rong Qingwen, as well as local specialties.
气氛温馨和谐。
Only when she returns home does Rong Shu feel truly relaxed.
"Xiao Shu, when is your due date?" Pei Yu asked with concern.
Her big belly did look like someone else's late pregnancy.
Rong Shu said, "My due date is still two months away."
"Xiao Shu is definitely having a daughter," Pei Lanhua said with a smile.
Rong Shu nodded and said, "It is indeed a daughter."
"Did you check the gender?" Rong Qingwen asked.
Pei Lanhua realized what was happening and couldn't help but become nervous.
"Yes, but Madam Sheng values this child very much."
Rong Qingwen breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. As long as you have the child, things will gradually get better for you and Tingchen."
Rong Shu lowered her eyes, her heart suddenly felt heavy, and she didn't know how to start the conversation. Sheng Tingchen had already brought up the matter of divorce with her.
But this matter couldn't be kept secret any longer, and she decided to move out of Repulse Bay and back home.
Forget it.
Let's talk about it after dinner!
Pei Lanhua prepared a sumptuous dinner.
Pei Yu has now co-founded a technology company with a friend. Two years ago, when the company was in its early stages, Rong Qingwen gave Pei Yu a sum of start-up capital without hesitation. Currently, the company is developing very well, mainly involving the field of AI technology. This business trip was to discuss cooperation, and the cooperation went very smoothly.
Rong Qingwen has now finished handling the matter of selling the company.
Although the company was able to catch its breath thanks to the dowry given by the Sheng family, the current economic climate is unfavorable, making transformation extremely difficult, and the company is finding it hard to continue operating.
He's getting old and his energy isn't what it used to be. He's very optimistic about Pei Yu Company's development. Pei Yu Company will enter the financing stage at the end of the year, so he'll sell the company and invest all the money into Pei Yu Company.
At the same time, good news was announced: Rong Qingwen was preparing to get her marriage certificate with Pei Lanhua.
Pei Lanhua's eyes reddened at one point.
After years of companionship, a result has finally been achieved. Rong Shu had no objections. He knew that his father had never been willing to register his marriage with Pei Lanhua because he still missed his mother.
She never understood why her mother would divorce and leave her father, who was such a good person.
But that doesn't matter anymore.
Such a good day.
She simply couldn't bear to break the atmosphere.
But she finally spoke up, "Dad, Aunt Pei, brother, Sheng Tingchen is planning to divorce me."
The words fell.
The restaurant fell silent. Everyone's expression turned serious, especially Rong Qingwen, who lowered his head and looked tense.
This outcome seemed to be expected, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Although the Rong and Sheng families became in-laws, the two families did not hold a wedding ceremony, but only registered their marriage. For the past six months, the two families have had no contact.
Sheng Tingchen never set foot in the Rong family home. Regardless of the Dragon Boat Festival or Mid-Autumn Festival, the Sheng family never sent any gifts. Whenever Rong Shu returned home alone, Rong Qingwen and Pei Lanhua would prepare holiday gifts for her to deliver to the Sheng family home.
She delivered the gifts to the Sheng family, and the old lady of the Sheng family accepted them politely, but Rong Shu knew that the old lady of the Sheng family had given the gifts to the servants of the old house.
Shen Yurong, right in front of her, had the servants throw it into the trash can, telling Rong Shu not to let her family send her such disreputable things again.
Sheng Tingchen reminded her not to do such a meaningless thing.
Such an unequal marriage is bound to end in separation sooner or later.
Rong Shu pursed her lips and continued, "However, it will have to wait until the baby is born. I have already promised Professor Jiang that I will go to Stanford University for further studies next February."
Pei Yu broke the silence first, saying, "Going to further your studies is a good idea. Xiao Shu, you're so outstanding, you shouldn't be trapped in marriage. Whatever decision you make, I'll support you."
Rong Shu smiled and nodded, "Thank you, brother."
Rong Qingwen sighed, a sigh filled with endless helplessness and guilt. "Let's get a divorce then. It's all Dad's fault. Ordinary people like us really can't afford to be associated with a big family like the Sheng family."
Rong Shu's eyes reddened, and she suddenly felt that the pain she had endured during this period was nothing. She had the support of her family, and her family would always be her backing. There was no obstacle that she could not overcome.
Seeing this, Pei Lanhua took a tissue and wiped her red-rimmed eyes, quickly comforting her.
The family enjoyed their dinner together happily.
at the same time.
The South Suburb No. 1 Villa District is a villa area that has existed for more than 20 years. It is an old wealthy area, and its infrastructure has become outdated.
A Bentley slowly pulled up in front of the gate of villa number 12, the villa that the Rong family had sold.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing a handsome and perfect profile. He looked into the villa, which was brightly lit.
The warm yellow streetlights reflected in his eyes, revealing an undeniable mix of emotions and loneliness.
He looked away and lit a cigarette.
At this time.
His phone vibrated, and he picked it up, answering with a gentle voice, "What's wrong, Qingyue?"
An Qingyue's coquettish voice came from behind, "Brother, when are you getting here? I'm starving, and Brother Chen won't let me eat first."
Then a deep, indulgent voice came from the other end of the phone, "Who told me to remind her to watch what she says? And now she's blaming me?"
An Qingyue snorted.
"Eat if you're hungry, I'll be there soon."
hang up the phone.
Su Qingzhi stubbed out his cigarette, took one last look out the car window, rolled up the window, and drove away from the villa.
