Chapter 126 Let's not hold each other back.
Sheng Tingchen and Su Qingzhi followed the manager upstairs.
Rong Shu and David arrived at the private room.
Rong Shu ordered several Chinese dishes that suited his taste. He couldn't handle strong flavors, so the dishes were mainly Huai cuisine.
"Would you like some alcohol?"
David said, "Of course we have to drink. With such a beautiful time and lovely people around, how can we not drink? We definitely have to try the specialties of Beijing."
"OK."
Rong Shu ordered a bottle of Moutai liquor.
"Please wait a moment, both of you."
The staff member turned and left the private room.
David looked at her and asked, "Evelynn, when are you planning to divorce Tingchen?"
Rong Shu smiled faintly and said, "The case hasn't even gone to trial yet, who knows?"
David said, puzzled, "Based on my understanding of Tingchen, although he's not very romantic, he's not so bad at looking at people."
Rong Shu pursed her lips and said, "His eyesight is fine."
David was puzzled.
Rong Shu didn't want to discuss this topic in detail with him, so she changed the subject and asked, "How long do you plan to stay in Beijing?"
David tactfully refrained from pursuing this personal topic. "Since you've come all this way, you'll probably stay for at least a month! Could you be my tour guide, Evelynn?"
Rong Shu smiled and said, "My profession is not tour guiding."
Ten minutes later.
The waiters began serving the dishes one after another.
Rong Shu introduced David to him and poured him a glass of wine.
"It's quite strong, you should try it first."
David took a sip and said, "This wine is indeed stronger, with a rich and complex aroma. It's delicious."
David tasted the food again and said, "It is indeed more authentic than the Chinese food in the United States, but Evelynn, your cooking is still more delicious. After you went back to China, I really couldn't forget it."
When Rong Shu was in the United States, David often went to her place to eat for free.
At this time.
David's phone vibrated. He picked it up, looked at the caller ID, and then looked at Rong Shudao. "Excuse me, I need to take this call."
Rong Shu said, "It's alright, I'm going to the restroom."
"it is good."
Rong Shu got up and left the private room.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard David greet me, "Hello, Qingzhi."
Rong Shu paused. Was it Su Qingzhi?
It's not surprising that Sheng Tingchen and David know each other, and that Su Qingzhi knows him too.
Rong Shu didn't think much of it.
We left the private room.
When she came out of the restroom and walked towards the private room...
They encountered Sheng Tingchen walking towards them.
Rong Shu indifferently shifted her gaze.
She sighed inwardly, wondering how she could run into him everywhere she went.
She lowered her gaze, avoiding looking at him, but she could clearly feel the man staring at her.
Just as she was about to brush past the man, she heard his cold, sarcastic tone say, "You seem quite busy all day."
Rong Shu abruptly stopped, turned around, looked up at him, and frowned unhappily, saying, "Sheng Tingchen, what do you mean?"
Sheng Tingchen's dark eyes were like an impenetrable, icy pool, his cold and piercing gaze sending chills down one's spine.
"You're really short of men, aren't you?"
Rong Shu stared wide-eyed at the despicable man in front of her, her fingers clenched in anger. Suddenly, she sneered, "Yeah, even if I have ten or eight men, what does that have to do with you, Sheng Tingchen? Let's get a divorce quickly, you can marry your beautiful wife, and neither of us should hold the other back."
Done.
Rong Shu coldly withdrew her gaze and turned to leave.
He had just taken one step.
My wrist was suddenly grabbed by force.
Followed by.
She was forcibly pressed against the wall again.
"Sheng Tingchen!"
The man stared at her, his deep, threatening voice warning, "Rong Shu, you'd better remember my words, don't give birth to a bastard child."
"Sheng Tingchen, you bastard!" Rong Shu cursed angrily.
Sheng Tingchen's dark eyes were like frost as he looked indifferently at the woman whose face was full of anger.
"Tingchen, what are you doing?"
David's voice suddenly came through.
Sheng Tingchen released the woman.
At the same time, a staff member pushed a food cart past, with cleaned tableware on it.
Rong Shu strode forward, and before the staff could react, she grabbed a glass of unfinished red wine and splashed it directly at the man's face.
Sheng Tingchen tilted his head slightly, and a red wine stain slid down the man's cheek onto his black shirt, instantly spreading out as a mark.
David and Su Qingzhi walked over quickly.
Seeing this scene before him, he stood there stunned.
The staff were startled and stood frozen in place, unsure of what to do.
Rong Shu put the wine glass back on the food cart, glared at the despicable man, and turned to leave.
"Evelynn!" David called out.
Rong Shu walked straight ahead, exuding a fierce aura.
David glanced at Sheng Tingchen, said nothing, turned around and quickly followed Rong Shu's footsteps.
Su Qingzhi watched the two figures leave, then looked at Sheng Tingchen.
A staff member nearby quickly took out a clean tissue and handed it to him.
Sheng Tingchen reached out and took it, wiping the wine stains from his face and neck, some of which stained his thick black hair.
"What happened?" Su Qingzhi asked.
Rong Shu returned to the private room.
He poured himself two glasses of wine and drank them down.
David quickly stopped her from pouring more wine, saying, "This wine is strong; girls should drink less."
Rong Shu put down her wine glass, sat on the stool, and tried to calm down her rising anger.
David sat beside her, watching her, and poured her a glass of warm water.
Rong Shu picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
For a long time.
She had just calmed down.
David asked, "Is your wrist injured? Should we get it treated?"
Rong Shu glanced at her reddened wrist, which was slightly painful. She said, "It's nothing, no need to treat it."
"When I see Sheng Tingchen again, I'll have to punch him back for you."
Rong Shu said, "Don't mention him, it makes me sick."
David said, "Let's eat! We can't waste this delicious food."
Rong Shu was so angry that she didn't have much of an appetite, but she still ate a little, not wanting to let that jerk of a man affect her mood.
However, after downing two glasses of wine, I'm starting to feel dizzy.
At this time.
Her phone vibrated.
It was Sheng Tingze calling.
He had just opened his mouth.
Sheng Tingze immediately noticed something was wrong with her voice. "I've come to pick you up."
Rong Shu didn't refuse, which meant she wouldn't need to call a designated driver anymore.
David is used to drinking strong liquor, so he drank quite a bit, but now he's acting like nothing happened.
Upon hearing Sheng Tingze's words, he immediately took Rong Shu's phone and said, "Tingze, long time no see. I'll just take Evelynn home later."
David was driven here by his driver.
Sheng Tingze said, "No trouble at all. I'll be passing by and will be there soon. Please take good care of her."
The words were spoken.
He then hung up the phone.
David smiled and handed the phone back to Rong Shu.
"He's afraid I'll eat you up; he doesn't trust me at all."
Less than ten minutes.
Sheng Tingze then drove to Lansong Garden.
David and Rong Shu left the private room.
As soon as Sheng Tingze entered the lobby, he saw Rong Shu and David walking towards him. Rong Shu was a little dizzy, and David was supporting her.
Sheng Tingze strode forward, "Xiao Shu!"
When Rong Shu saw him, she turned to David and said, "Then I'll head back now."
David put down what he was holding, grunted, and said, "Okay, go back and get some rest." Then he looked at Sheng Tingze and said, "I'm leaving Evelynn in your care, Tingze. Make sure she gets home safely."
Sheng Tingze immediately reached out to support Rong Shu, saying, "Let's talk another day when we have time."
Sheng Tingze left with Rong Shu.
"David!"
Suddenly someone called his name from behind.
David turned around and saw Sheng Tingchen and Su Qingzhi. As they approached, he looked at Sheng Tingchen and said, "Tingchen, I want to punch you right now. Do you know you hurt Evelynn?"
"David, Evelynn is Tingchen's wife," Su Qingzhi reminded him.
David said, "So what? Evelynn doesn't want him anymore and is going to file for divorce."
Su Qingzhi was unaware that Sheng Tingchen's wife had filed for divorce. He turned to look at the man, Sheng Tingchen, who walked forward expressionlessly.
