Chapter 377 Lacking Confidence
Chapter 377 Lacking Confidence
Orisa walked up to Rong Shu and asked with concern, "Evelynn, did you not sleep well last night?"
Rong Shu looked at her, a faint smile playing on her lips, and said, "I'm fine."
Meimei looked at her mother and said, "Then Mom, please go to bed early with me tonight. I don't want to see you tired."
"Okay, Mom will listen to Meimei." Rong Shu said, looking up at the man walking towards her.
All I heard him say was, "Eat breakfast first."
We arrived at the restaurant.
Orissa went to the kitchen and brought the baked pineapple pie to Meimei. Meimei thanked her, saying, "Thank you, Aunt Orissa."
Orissa smiled and said, "You're welcome."
Orissa placed a cream cheese bagel in front of Rong Shu. "Evelynn, please enjoy."
Rong Shu gave a soft "hmm".
As Orissa turned to leave with the tray, she heard the man's deep, emotionless voice say, "Sit down and eat with us!"
Upon hearing this...
Orisa paused for a moment.
She subconsciously looked at Rong Shu.
Rong Shu listened to the man's words and silently peeled the egg for Mei Mei.
Meimei looked at Orissa and said, "Aunt Orissa, please sit down and eat with us!"
Rong Shu's fingers paused, and her heart sank.
Meimei is a very sensitive child. She knows who is truly good to her and who truly likes her. Her current attitude towards Orisa shows that Orisa is genuinely kind to Meimei.
Orissa was well aware of her position, so she had consciously avoided dining with them during this time. When Sheng Tingchen offered to let her have breakfast with them, she couldn't hide her happiness.
She smiled and nodded, then sat up straight in the seat opposite Rong Shu and Mei Mei.
The nanny prepared breakfast for her.
Orissa said to the nanny, "Thank you."
Watching Meimei eat pineapple pie.
Orissa asked, "Meimei, is it delicious?"
Meimei swung her legs and said, "It's delicious."
"Then I'll make other flavors today, so Meimei can eat them when she gets home from school."
"it is good."
"..."
Sheng Tingchen said, "Meimei, Aunt Olissa will take you to kindergarten later."
Rong Shu's eyes instantly darkened.
Meimei blinked, tilted her little head, and said, "I want my mom to take me to kindergarten."
Sheng Tingchen's deep gaze fell on Rong Shu, and he said, "Mom is busy with work and can't take Meimei to kindergarten today."
Meimei turned to look at her mother, pouting, and asked, "Mommy, are you busy with work today?"
Rong Shu composed herself, looked at Mei Mei with gentle eyes, and said, "Mom can take Mei Mei to kindergarten first."
Meimei smiled, her eyes narrowing. "Okay."
Rong Shu fed Mei Mei a crystal dumpling, then looked up to meet the man's gaze on her. Sheng Tingchen didn't say anything more and lowered his eyes to look away.
I've had breakfast.
Rong Shu took Mei Mei upstairs first and carried the new schoolbag she had bought yesterday on her back.
Meimei was very happy with her new schoolbag on her back.
"Alright, let's go."
"it is good."
Meimei hopped and skipped like a happy little rabbit, holding her mother's hand. Rong Shu looked at her lively daughter and felt exceptionally gentle.
Sheng Tingchen stood in the downstairs living room, watching the mother and daughter coming down the stairs.
When Rong Shu saw the man, her gaze softened.
"Daddy!" Meimei ran to her father, twirling around to show off her new backpack. "Mommy bought me this new backpack."
Sheng Tingchen's cold, sharp eyes softened with affection. "Beautiful. Mom has good taste."
Meimei smiled happily.
Sheng Tingchen did not accompany Rong Shu to take Meimei to school; instead, he went directly to the company.
Rong Shu drove Mei Mei to kindergarten.
Arrived at school.
I happened to run into Jiang Yu, who was chatting with a young woman.
I met Rong Shu.
Jiang Yu greeted her, "Xiao Shu."
Rong Shu pulled Mei Mei forward, and Mei Mei greeted them, "Aunt Xiao Yu, Aunt Qin."
Qin Xue's son transferred to this kindergarten this year.
It was fate, really.
Qin Xue was the yoga teacher who taught one-on-one classes to Qin Xue when she was pregnant five years ago. She graduated with a degree in ballet.
During her studies abroad, the two kept in touch online, and she would give her guidance on weight loss and body shaping. Later, she married into a wealthy family and moved to New York with her husband.
She continued to train with Qin Xue for another year. Whether it was body shaping or cosmetic procedures, Qin Xue tailored the plans for her. Qin Xue had a very high aesthetic sense, and Rong Shu could be said to have learned aesthetics from her.
Because of her husband's business, they left New York and settled in England.
After that, the two rarely contacted each other, occasionally exchanging holiday greetings.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Qin Xue when I took Meimei to kindergarten in mid-last month.
Qin Xue almost didn't recognize Rong Shu when she saw her.
It's been a long time.
The two talked for a long time.
Rong Shu then learned that they had returned to China at the beginning of the year and would probably stay there afterward. Her son, Wen Hang, was a year younger than Mei Mei. Wen Hang resembled Qin Xue and was exceptionally handsome at a young age. He was in the same class as Mei Mei and Ya Ya.
Rong Shu greeted Qin Xue.
After that, the teacher took Meimei into the kindergarten.
Qin Xue took out an invitation from her bag and handed it to Rong Shu, "This weekend is Hanghang's birthday. I sincerely invite you and your husband to attend."
Rong Shu looked at the invitation Qin Xue handed her, took it, and replied, "Okay, I'll accept it."
The group chatted briefly.
They said goodbye and left.
Rong Shu put the invitation back in her bag and looked at Jiang Yu, asking, "Are we going back to Haishi?"
Jiang Yu said, "I'm not going back; I'll stay in Beijing."
Rong Shu hummed in agreement. No matter how much she said, it didn't carry as much weight as a single sentence from Pei Yu.
"Okay, I'll head to the office now."
"Um."
Rong Shu arrived at the company.
She couldn't seem to focus on work at all that morning; Sheng Tingchen's words from last night kept echoing in her mind.
She suddenly realized something: if Sheng Tingchen wanted to, he could make Meimei accept another woman.
Jiang Huaixu was telling her about the progress of the project in City C when he noticed something was wrong with Rong Shu and asked, "What's wrong?"
Rong Shu snapped out of her daze, smiled faintly, and said, "It's nothing, I just didn't get enough rest last night."
Jiang Huaixu put down the documents in his hand and softened his voice, saying, "Xiaoshu, if you have any concerns, you can tell me directly."
Rong Shu lowered her eyes, wanting to say that she had no concerns, but she lacked the confidence to speak.
"Because of Meimei's matter," Jiang Huaixu said.
She went to City C, and she knew she wouldn't be able to take care of Meimei anymore; that was her only concern.
"Sending you to City C was indeed too hasty. You can go there temporarily to take over the work, but you don't necessarily have to stay there for long."
Rong Shu composed herself; she couldn't expect Jiang Huaixu to always accommodate her.
"Yes, I know."
"Take a nap at noon first, and we can talk again in the afternoon."
"I'm fine, Mr. Jiang, don't worry."
Jiang Huaixu gave her a deep look, then said nothing more. He got up to make her a cup of coffee and said, "Let's continue!"
