Chapter 378 Marrying Up and Swallowing Needles

It was afternoon.

Rong Shu received a call from Meimei, "Mom, how about coming to Grandpa and Grandma's house for dinner with Dad and me tonight?"

Rong Shu said, "Mom won't go, Mom has to work. Will Meimei stay at Grandma's tonight?"

Meimei said, "I want to stay at Grandma's house."

"Okay, Meimei, go ahead then!"

Meimei said dejectedly, "Mom, aren't we a family? Mom has never eaten at Grandpa and Grandma's house. I'll go and tell Grandpa and Grandma today, and they'll invite Mom to their house for dinner next time."

Rong Shu listened to Mei Mei's words without saying anything, only humming in response.

After getting off work that day.

Rong Shu received a call from Qin Xue.

"Xiaoshu, are you free tonight? Would you like to have dinner together?"

Qin Xue had asked her out twice before, but she declined both times because she really didn't have time. Today, since she didn't have to work overtime, she agreed.

Inside a five-star hotel.

Qin Xue poured Rong Shu a glass of red wine. "I finally managed to get you to have a meal together. You seem really busy, unlike me who's always free."

Rong Shu picked up her wine glass and gently swirled it. "Being a free spirit is actually quite nice."

A faint, bitter smile appeared on Qin Xue's lips, but it quickly disappeared as the two chatted idly.

"When I first met you, I really didn't expect that you, Xiaoshu, would be the president's wife of Yunshan," Qin Xue exclaimed.

Back then, Rong Shu's plump body was carrying a big belly, and her face was covered in spots because of pregnancy. No one would have imagined that she would be the wife of Sheng Tingchen, such a handsome and unparalleled man.

As for knowing about Sheng Tingchen, it was because after she married into the Wen family, she met him from afar at a party hosted by a celebrity while accompanying her husband.

Wherever he appears, he is the center of attention; a handsome man with immense wealth and charm.

The women looked at him with eyes full of admiration.

Of course, given the Wen family's status, they wouldn't even have the right to offer a greeting.

She was so shocked when she saw the news about Spruce's announcement that day that she was speechless.

Thinking back to Xiao Shu's determination to change herself, even at the cost of giving up her child, she must have endured countless humiliations. Now, she has truly transformed completely, and Sheng Tingchen has publicly acknowledged her identity. This leap across social classes is an absolute success for a woman.

"Xiao Shu, you've finally overcome all your hardships, congratulations!"

Rong Shu looked up at the envy in Qin Xue's eyes. She was indeed congratulating herself. Of course, she could understand this envy. After Qin Xue married into the Wen family, she became a full-time housewife. Women who needed to rely on their husbands' family status to survive, their greatest success was nothing more than gaining their husbands' approval.

Rong Shu merely smiled faintly, her eyes devoid of any emotion. She changed the subject, asking, "Have you been resting well lately? You don't look well."

Qin Xue has changed a lot compared to five years ago. Although she still maintains a good figure, she is no longer as young and energetic as she was five years ago, and the light in her eyes has been smoothed out by life.

The story of marrying into a family and swallowing needles is probably like this.

Qin Xue subconsciously touched her face, then smiled awkwardly and said, "Something happened at home recently."

Seeing her reaction, Rong Shu suddenly understood something, but she did not respond.

Qin Xue continued, "Actually, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with today, Xiao Shu." She seemed a little flustered as she said this.

Rong Shu said, "Tell me about it."

Qin Xue quickly explained the reason: the Wen family wanted to win a construction project under the Yunshan Group, but there were many bidding companies, and the Wen family might not be able to win it. This project was of great importance to the Wen family, as the Wen family's company had suffered losses year after year and urgently needed a high-quality project to alleviate the pressure.

This project does not necessarily require Sheng Tingchen's approval.

The Wen family doesn't have the same connections as Yun Shan, but coincidentally, Yun Shan publicly revealed her identity as the president's wife. Perhaps this really is just a matter of Rong Shu's word, which carries more weight than any of Yun Shan's internal connections.

After Qin Xue finished speaking, she looked at Rong Shu with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.
