Chapter 9: I won't care about her feelings.
Chapter 9: I won't care about her feelings.
Rong Shu was resting on her side in bed, her hand covering her lower abdomen, feeling the baby's heartbeat. Her emotions gradually stabilized.
With Xie Anming's words echoing in his mind, Sheng Tingzhen truly loathed the child in his womb.
Even if Old Madam Sheng cares about this child, how much attention will her child receive when Miss An gives birth to the Sheng family's descendants?
She really didn't dare to think about it anymore.
She couldn't leave her child alone to face a family that had no expectations of her. She was determined to take her child and leave.
dong dong dong.
A knock came at the door.
Rong Shu suddenly came to her senses, slowly got up from the bed, walked to the door, opened it, and saw Liu Lihua's mean face.
"The young master is looking for you."
When Rong Shu entered the living room, she saw a man sitting on the sofa with a cold and stern expression. Her heart tightened involuntarily. Even though she had prepared herself mentally, seeing the man's face and the cold and oppressive aura surrounding him, she couldn't help but feel a sense of fear and apprehension.
Her steps became stiff, and she didn't even dare to look at his face.
She stopped and stood in front of him. The expected reprimand did not come. Instead, the man's words were even colder and more ruthless: "You can go to sleep when you finish processing these documents."
That's all.
The man put down his long legs and strode towards the restaurant.
Rong Shu looked at the thick stack of documents on the coffee table; it was clear they weren't planning to let her rest tonight.
In his eyes, he didn't treat her as a pregnant woman, or even as an ordinary person. He truly hated and loathed her.
Rong Shu clenched her fingers, turned around abruptly, and said to the man's back, "I have submitted my resignation. I quit."
The man stopped and turned around, his gaze falling coldly on Rong Shu.
Rong Shu mustered her courage and met the man's piercing, gloomy gaze.
I don't want to repeat myself.
Sheng Tingchen looked at Liu Lihua and said, "Go and lock her door."
Upon hearing this, Liu Lihua's face immediately broke into a smug smile. "I'll go right now."
Liu Lihua walked quickly toward Rong Shu's room.
Rong Shu stood frozen in place, enveloped by endless darkness that made one feel suffocated.
Heartbroken, tears streamed uncontrollably down my cheeks once again.
Seeing this, Sheng Tingchen's eyes were cold and devoid of any warmth.
He ignored Rong Shu's emotions.
Looking at the man's indifferent back, Rong Shu felt like a clown, and a sudden surge of emotions welled up inside her.
She picked up the documents from the coffee table and threw them directly into the trash can, then, supporting her pregnant belly, walked out of the living room.
Sheng Tingchen stopped in his tracks, his expression growing even colder.
As Rong Shu stepped out of the villa, a gust of cold wind swept over her. She wasn't wearing a down jacket, and the cold made her shiver uncontrollably. Her phone and car keys were inside the room.
She glanced back at the villa, the cold wind scattering the tears from the corners of her eyes. She hugged her arms without looking back, her eyes red, and slowly walked out of the villa.
She walked under the cold, desolate streetlights, dressed in thin clothes and heavily pregnant.
Passing vehicles couldn't help but look at her.
There are only 18 villas in this villa area, all belonging to wealthy and influential people in the same social circle. They also know Rong Shu's identity. As for the reason why she and Sheng Tingchen got their marriage certificate, they have naturally heard some rumors.
A man as handsome and perfect as Sheng Tingchen, paired with a woman like this, anyone would find it repulsive. No wonder he rarely goes home.
Seeing her in such a wretched and ugly state, I couldn't feel any sympathy.
Rong Shu walked and stopped frequently. She hadn't eaten much at noon, and now she was cold and hungry, so her stomach started to feel uncomfortable.
It took more than half an hour to walk.
Rong Shu finally arrived at the main gate.
Just as she was about to walk out, the security guard at the door stopped her. "Ms. Rong, Mr. Sheng wants you to go back."
Rong Shu was taken aback; the reason she was being asked to go back was certainly not out of concern for her.
She said, "I won't go back." With that, she held her belly and started to walk out.
The security guard stopped her from leaving, saying, "We can't let you leave either. You're pregnant, and it's cold at night. If something happens to you, we can't take responsibility. Please go back!"
Rong Shu looked up at the security guard, exhaled a breath of hot air, and softened her tone, saying, "Could I use your phone to make a call?"
The security guard said, "Excuse me, Miss Rong."
Rong Shu stood there, feeling even more discomfort in her stomach.
At this time.
A horn sounded behind me.
Rong Shu subconsciously turned around and saw the person sitting in the driver's seat. When Rong Shu saw the man, it was as if she saw a savior. Holding her stomach, she limped forward. Her knee was not yet healed from the fall today, and the cold wind made it even more uncomfortable.
Qi Yanchao lowered the passenger-side window.
Rong Shu said, "Mr. Qi, could you please see me off?"
Qi Yanchao didn't ask any further questions and said, "Get in the car."
"Thanks."
Rong Shu opened the car door and got in.
The security guard didn't dare to stop him and could only stand there and watch Qi Yanchao drive away. Then he returned to the guard booth and dialed the internal phone number for Building 8.
"Mr. Sheng, Miss Rong got into Mr. Qi's car and left."
"..."
Qi Yanchao noticed Rong Shu's expression was off. "Is your stomach upset?"
Rong Shu didn't try to be brave. "Please take me to the hospital."
Qi Yanchao increased the car's speed.
During this time, he received a phone call from Jiang Huaixu. The two had a date that evening, and Jiang Huaixu asked him when he would arrive.
"I ran into Rong Shu, and I'm taking her to the hospital now."
We arrived at the nearest hospital.
Qi Yanchao registered her for the emergency room.
The doctor performed a full physical examination and put her on an IV drip.
Qi Yanchao noticed that Rong Shu had difficulty walking, so he told the doctor that she was wearing thick cotton pants and needed to take them off for the examination. Qi Yanchao then went to wait outside the ward.
At this time.
He saw Jiang Huaixu walking in this direction.
Jiang Huaixu stepped forward, glanced into the ward, and asked, "What happened?"
Qi Yanchao said, "I guess she was upset by Sheng Tingchen. She didn't wear her coat outside in this cold weather and got cold. She mainly caught a chill and it upset the baby. It's not a big problem."
"Is the doctor still examining him?"
"I noticed she wasn't walking quite right; the doctor is examining her."
The words fell.
The doctor opened the door and came out.
"Doctor, how is she?"
The doctor said, "Her knee injury is quite severe. Which of you is her husband?"
Jiang Huaixu explained, "She is my student."
The doctor didn't ask any further questions. "I'm prescribing her some medicine for sprains and bruises. Can any of you come with me to get the medicine?"
Qi Yanchao said, "I'll go!"
When Jiang Huaixu entered the ward, he saw Rong Shu lying motionless on the bed, her face pale.
"Professor Jiang."
Rong Shu called out.
Jiang Huaixu reached out and pulled up a chair, sat down, and said, "No matter what, you can't joke about the baby in your belly."
Rong Shu has now completely calmed down. "I acted impulsively today."
What right did she have to throw a tantrum at Sheng Tingchen? In his eyes, she was nothing but a disgrace, only making herself look more pathetic in front of him. He didn't care about her feelings at all.
