PNB Chapter 195 The Woman I Want
Chapter 195 The Woman I Want
Zhao Zheng withdrew his gaze, smiled faintly, and said, "A woman I want."
The words fell.
The light cast a deep, shadowy glow in Sheng Tingchen's eyes. "Is that so?"
Rong Shu got into Sheng Tingze's car, and it took her a while to calm down.
Sheng Tingze then asked, "Is he Zhao Zheng?"
During the time when Xiaoshu had her accident, it was the busiest period for his company, and he and Xiaoshu had not been in contact for nearly half a year.
He only found out later that Xiao Shu had almost gotten into trouble.
Jiang Huaixu had been in the United States dealing with Jiang Yu's divorce, and he was also by Xiao Shu's side. Later, he sued Zhao Zheng and sent him to prison, but he was released so quickly.
At that moment, he felt immense regret for not being by her side.
Judging from Xiao Shu's reaction, it couldn't be clearer. She just didn't expect that Sheng Tingchen knew him.
Rong Qingwen and Pei Lanhua were completely unaware of what had happened to her in the United States.
Rong Shu reached out and supported her forehead, exhaled, and nodded weakly.
Seeing her in this state, Sheng Tingze didn't ask any more questions.
He doesn't know what Xiaoshu went through back then. He only knows that Xiaoshu saw a psychologist for almost half a year before slowly recovering.
Thinking about this...
His hands gripped the steering wheel involuntarily tightened.
Back at the villa.
That night.
Even with the help of alcohol, Rong Shu still couldn't sleep well. She had nightmares, dreaming that she was locked in a pitch-black room, listening to those filthy sounds day and night.
That week was a period of intense physical and mental torment for her.
When I woke up again.
It's already 10 a.m.
A knock came at the door.
Rong Shu sat up and said, "Come in."
Sheng Tingze pushed open the door and entered. Seeing that she didn't look well, he quickly walked to the bedside and asked with concern, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Rong Shu ran her fingers through her hair and rubbed her scalp, saying, "It's nothing, I must have been drinking last night."
"I've had someone make you some hangover soup, I'll bring it to you now."
Rong Shu hummed in agreement.
Sheng Tingze turned and left the room.
Rong Shu got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. When she came out again, she was much more awake.
Sheng Tingze brought over some hangover soup and breakfast, which he placed on the crystal round table on the balcony.
Rong Shu drank the soup, looked at Sheng Tingze, and asked, "Have you already eaten?"
Sheng Tingze sat opposite her and said, "Yes, I've already eaten."
Rong Shu picked up the spoon and took a sip of porridge.
Sheng Tingze asked, "You and Mr. David have an appointment in two days?"
Rong Shu explained, "He helped me contact a company that could buy my shares at a high price, and we arranged to meet in two days to discuss the details."
"Xiaoshu, how did you and Mr. David meet? Why is he so willing to help you?"
Rong Shu said, "I met him when I was pursuing my doctorate. He was also Professor Michael's student."
Sheng Tingze nodded.
He paused for a moment.
He asked, "So, Xiaoshu, when have you decided to return to China?"
They've been here for over a week, and their original plan was to finish things up within a month and then go on a trip to relax.
Now all she wants is to go back to China.
"I'll go back to China after I've taken care of everything."
Sheng Tingze agreed.
He had already finished all his work here, and now he was mainly staying here with Xiaoshu.
"Are you going to the office today?"
"Go again at one o'clock this afternoon."
"Okay, then I'll go with you."
After lunch.
Sheng Tingze drove Rong Shu to the company.
Rong Shu was busy with work.
Sheng Tingze sat in the rest area and did not disturb her work.
At this time.
His phone vibrated.
I saw the caller ID.
Sheng Tingze's gaze sharpened slightly. He stared at his phone screen until the call was about to automatically disconnect before answering it. He held the phone to his ear, his voice indifferent, and called out, "Cousin."
Sheng Tingchen asked in a normal voice, "Tingze, what are you doing in New York?"
Sheng Tingze said, "It's just something related to work."
That's all.
He didn't say another word.
Sheng Tingchen continued, "Is everything resolved?"
The tone sounded like that of an elder genuinely caring for a younger person.
"almost."
Where are you staying now?
Sheng Tingze didn't answer. "What's wrong, cousin?"
After a moment's hesitation on the other end of the phone, he said, "It's nothing. Just go home as soon as you've finished your work."
Sheng Tingchen hung up the phone immediately after speaking.
Sheng Tingze put down his phone and stared at the screen.
When Rong Shu came in, she saw him silently staring at his phone and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Sheng Tingze composed himself, smiled, and said, "It's nothing."
Rong Shu handed him a box of pastries, "I bought these from Chinatown. Try them and see if they taste as good as the ones in China."
Sheng Tingze opened the package, ate one, and said, "It's still not as authentic as the ones from China."
These past two days.
Rong Shu handled her work normally, and everything seemed normal. Meeting Zhao Zheng felt like an illusion.
And Sheng Tingchen.
He has not contacted her.
She only now belatedly realized that they knew each other, but to what extent did they know each other?
However, upon closer reflection, this is within China.
They only became involved because of Meimei.
Now we're in New York.
On this land, she and Sheng Tingchen were nothing more than complete strangers.
This made her feel inexplicably relaxed.
this day.
She was going to meet with the person in charge of the company that David had introduced her to.
Xue Mingcheng drove her to the company.
On her way to the company, she received a call from Jiang Huaixu.
"professor."
Jiang Huaixu heard that her voice sounded normal and asked, "I just arrived at the airport. Are you busy right now?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Shu paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Airport? Which airport?"
Jiang Huaixu smiled and said, "I've arrived in New York and just happened to come here to take care of some things."
Rong Shu realized what was happening and said gently, "Fine, why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
Jiang Huaixu said, "It's the same now."
He asked her some questions about work.
Rong Shu explained it to him briefly.
Jiang Huaixu asked, "David and Sheng Tingchen have a close relationship. Are you sure you can trust him?"
Rong Shu said, "At least I can still trust him about the things he promised."
"If that's the case, then that's good."
The matter of meeting Zhao Zheng.
Rong Shu told Jiang Huaixu.
Jiang Huaixu was shocked. He had rushed over because he knew that Zhao Zheng had been released on bail, and Xiao Shu had already met with him.
Rong Shu said, "However, everything is stable here now, and I plan to return to China after dealing with the KU matter."
Jiang Huaixu said, "Good."
The two hung up the phone after they finished talking.
Rong Shu arrived at the company.
The receptionist greeted her respectfully, "Good morning, Evelynn."
"Good morning," Rong Shu replied.
The receptionist then said, "Evelynn, someone from NS has arrived."
The words were spoken.
Rong Shu suddenly stopped in her tracks.
