Chapter 145 See You in Court
Eyes facing each other.
The air was still for a moment.
Jiang Huaixu smiled slightly, naturally turning his gaze back to the computer screen in response to her words.
It was almost nine o'clock.
Rong Shu took Mei Mei upstairs to rest.
"I'll send you the information later, then you can take a look," Jiang Huaixu said.
Rong Shu responded, "Okay."
Meimei waved goodbye to them.
Jiang Yu reminded her, "Remember to bring Meimei upstairs for breakfast tomorrow morning."
Rong Shu nodded and replied, "Okay, I understand."
Rong Shu led Mei Mei back upstairs.
Although I don't live here often, a housekeeper comes to clean the house regularly, so it's very clean and I don't need to do any extra tidying.
Rong Shu prepared hot water to give Mei Mei a bath.
Hearing a voice coming from the living room, he said, "Dad."
Rong Shu was startled and quickly left the bathroom.
Meimei walked to the door and opened it for Sheng Tingchen.
Rong Shu stood there, staring in astonishment.
Meimei came in holding her father's hand.
Sheng Tingchen was carrying a bag, which looked like it contained something beautiful.
Rong Shu stepped forward, frowning slightly, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Sheng Tingchen noticed the displeasure in the woman's eyes and didn't wait for her to answer.
Meimei then spoke up, "Aunt Evelynn, my dad called me and I told him I wanted to stay here with Aunt Evelynn, so he brought me some clothes." Her weak voice sounded like a child who had done something wrong, as if she was afraid that Rong Shu would be angry.
For an instant.
Rong Shu's heart softened completely.
She bent down, reached out to hug Meimei, and said, "Meimei, let's take a shower first!"
Seeing that Rong Shu wasn't angry, Mei Mei's tense face instantly relaxed, and she obediently nodded.
Sheng Tingchen handed her the bag in his hand, "These are Meimei's clothes."
Rong Shu glanced at it, reached out and took it, then carried Mei Mei to the bathroom.
Half an hour later.
Meimei finished taking a shower.
I left the bathroom.
"dad!"
Meimei ran towards her father and happily jumped into his arms.
Rong Shu looked at the man sitting on the sofa.
The father and daughter played around for a while.
"Alright, go to bed with Aunt Evelynn."
Meimei ran to Rong Shu's side and asked, "Aunt Evelynn, can Daddy stay here tonight?"
Rong Shu said, "Your father needs to go back; there's no room for him here."
Meimei said "Oh," and then said to Sheng Tingchen, "Dad, take out the gift for Aunt Evelynn."
Rong Shu was startled.
Sheng Tingchen then took a velvet box out of the bag.
Meimei took it, opened it, and presented it to Rong Shu with both hands, saying, "Aunt Evelynn, this is for you. It's a necklace I chose for Aunt Evelynn. Do you like it?"
The necklace features a pink diamond pendant, and its craftsmanship and design clearly indicate that it was created by a top master.
Sheng Tingchen video-called Meimei in the United States to help her choose a gift and let her look at it herself. Meimei said she wanted to give Aunt Evelynn a gift chain.
Sheng Tingchen let her choose, but this necklace is a limited edition worldwide and needs to be shipped from France. It was only sent back to China today.
Rong Shu looked at the pink necklace, then at Mei Mei's expectant and happy smile.
A faint smile curved her lips as she said, "I like it!"
Meimei smiled happily when she heard Rong Shu's words.
"Alright, time to sleep."
"it is good."
Rong Shu took the necklace.
He took Meimei back to his bedroom.
Although it was in a completely unfamiliar environment.
But with Aunt Evelynn by her side, Meimei slept very peacefully and soundly.
After putting Meimei to sleep.
Rong Shu prepared to take a shower and get ready before dealing with some work.
I thought of Sheng Tingchen.
She slowed her movements as she left the bedroom and saw the man sitting on the sofa. She walked over, handed him the velvet box, and said calmly, "Take it back. I don't need the necklace."
Sheng Tingchen glanced at the box on the coffee table with his cold eyes, then looked at the woman and said, "If you don't like it, you can tell Meimei directly. You don't need me to do it for you."
Rong Shu stared at him with a deep gaze; it really was his despicable way of doing things.
She sat down on the sofa, took out her phone, and said, "Okay, how much? I'll transfer it to you now."
Sheng Tingchen said, "Talk to Meimei about it tomorrow. If she agrees, then transfer it to me."
Rong Shu: "..."
That scoundrel is deliberately trying to annoy her.
"Sheng Tingchen, you don't need to bring up Meimei. We're getting a divorce soon, and I don't need you to spend a single penny on me." Rong Shu really didn't want to argue with him or let it affect her mood, but at this moment she was extremely irritable.
Sheng Tingchen looked at her with his deep black eyes, his handsome face calm, a cool smile playing on his lips, and said, "Then you can transfer it to me on the day of the divorce."
Rong Shu frowned and stared at him, feeling her breathing become labored.
She took a deep breath to calm herself, leaned back in the sofa chair, and looked at the man. "Your lawyer said you can settle this privately. How would you like to settle it?"
Sheng Tingchen's gaze fell on the tablet computer, his profile cold and stern. "You chose to refuse, and the adjustment period is over."
They adopted an attitude of refusing mediation.
Rong Shu's face turned cold. "Fine, then see you in court. Can you leave now?"
Sheng Tingchen didn't raise his eyes, and said slowly, "I'm taking Meimei for a medical check-up first thing tomorrow morning."
So this means he doesn't intend to leave.
Rong Shu frowned and said, "You can come pick her up first thing tomorrow morning."
Sheng Tingchen raised his eyes, a mocking smile playing on his lips, and said, "What are you afraid of? I'm not interested in you."
"you……"
Rong Shu clenched her fists, her face flushed with anger.
Meimei is sleeping in her room now, and I can't help but think about the scene when Meimei woke up in fright last time.
She tossed the documents from the man's hand into the trash can, then turned and went back to her room, since all the rooms except the master bedroom were empty anyway.
The man watched the woman storm off in a huff.
He just chuckled.
Early the next morning.
When Rong Shu got up and went to the kitchen to get water, she saw a tall, elegant man standing in front of the French windows, talking on the phone. The first rays of morning light fell on him, giving him a faint glow.
Looking at the documents laid out on the coffee table, it's clear that this person had been working overtime all night.
However, after a night, he was still wearing the same shirt and trousers as last night, his clothes were still neat and tidy, and he did not look tired at all.
The man finished his phone call.
Putting down his phone, he turned around and saw a woman standing not far away. She was wearing a long nightgown, only revealing a small section of her slender calves. Her hair was messy, and she had a lazy air about her just waking up.
Rong Shu indifferently withdrew her gaze and went to the kitchen to get a glass of warm water.
After that, I went to the bathroom to wash up.
She didn't glance at the man even once throughout the entire process.
After she got dressed and tidied up.
Meimei woke up too.
Meimei was especially clingy when she first woke up.
Rong Shu hugged Mei Mei and cuddled with her for a while, then changed her clothes.
At this time.
A doorbell rang outside.
Sheng Tingchen looked towards the door, put down his phone and documents, got up and walked towards the door, then reached out and opened it.
The moment Jiang Huaixu saw Sheng Tingchen, his brow furrowed slightly, and a clear look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
When Sheng Tingchen looked at Jiang Huaixu, his handsome face remained expressionless, seemingly unsurprised.
A few seconds of standoff.
No one spoke.
The surrounding atmosphere seemed to freeze instantly.
