After eight years of coldness, you're asking for a divorce? I'm signing the papers, what&#

Chapter 321 Auspicious Fortune

"You guys go have fun, I'm quite content staying home in peace and quiet," Jiang Huaixu said.

Jiang Huaixu can walk normally now without any problems, but he still can't move around too much and needs to rest.

Rong Shu was thinking about how to tell Mei Mei.

Then I received a call from Meimei.

She's going back to the old house with her older and younger cousins ​​today. "Dad's with Mom today, how about we have dinner together tonight?"

Rong Shu wasn't too surprised that Mei Mei didn't come to see her. The Sheng family has always valued its reputation, especially the old lady of the Sheng family. Her standards for her daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law were that they should be able to assist their husbands and maintain the Sheng family's image in public. After what happened with the Li family, the Sheng family would definitely have even more objections to her.

They probably don't want to have much contact with Meimei right now, and they probably just want Sheng Tingchen and them to get a divorce as soon as possible.

Rong Shu responded and hung up the phone with Mei Mei. She then called Sheng Tingchen and said, "I already have an appointment, so you don't need to come looking for me."

Sheng Tingchen didn't say anything, just said, "Okay! I'll come pick you up again tonight."

Afterwards, Rong Shu, Pei Yu, Jiang Yu, and Jiang Huaixu's mother said goodbye and left.

After the group left.

The house is now quiet.

Sitting on the sofa, Jiang's mother said to Jiang Huaixu, "This Pei Yu is truly incomparable to someone like Zhao Yizhou. He's a really good boy."

Jiang Huaixu smiled faintly, "Mom, don't be too obvious and scare people away."

"She's not a girl, she's not that easily scared." She sighed, then added, "Look how quickly your sister has found someone, while you haven't even settled your first marriage. Are you really going to wait until Xiao Shu gets divorced? What if her ex-husband just drags his feet and refuses to divorce her? Are you going to keep dragging this on like that?"

Deep down, she was still bothered that her son had fallen for a married woman, but Jiang Huaixu was stubborn, and as his mother, she could only try to understand; she couldn't very well join his father in blaming him.

If Rong Shu hadn't gotten married, she would still have liked her as her daughter-in-law, but there are no "what ifs" in this world.

Jiang Huaixu lowered his gaze. It wasn't so easy for Sheng Tingchen and Rong Shu to divorce now. He didn't want to divorce, and the agreement Rong Shu signed with him was just a piece of waste paper to him.

Sheng Tingchen knew in his heart that once Xiaoshu got divorced, neither he nor Sheng Tingze would wait any longer. Men's possessiveness and competitiveness are like that; once they see a competitor eyeing them, they will never give up so easily.

Not to mention that there's Meimei between them, and Rong Shu's soft heart towards Meimei is a mother's nature.

Jiang Yu had previously mentioned that the two of them had argued.

Then, considering that Li Anna hurt Rong Shu, but Su Qingzhi sought justice for Rong Shu, there must have been a conflict between them at this point. Sheng Tingchen suddenly took Mei Mei away, and he couldn't continue this charade. This can only mean that his will is not as firm as imagined.

Even if he wants to keep a woman, there are limits. Xiao Shu will not do as he pleases. For a proud and extremely rational person like him, dignity is often more important than emotions.

So now, all we can do is wait for the right opportunity.

Sheng Tingchen called Su Qingzhi.

Su Qingzhi was watching TV alone at home when Sheng Tingchen invited him to go racing.

"You seem to have a lot of free time today."

"You're certainly free. I'll wait for you at the usual spot."

Su Qingzhi arrived at the racetrack.

Sheng Tingchen was already waiting for him in the parking lot. He walked up to him and asked, "Where are Meimei and Xiaoshu?"

Sheng Tingchen explained, "Meimei is at the old house; she has an appointment with a friend."

Su Qingzhi said, "What's the point of you continuing like this? It's best for us to each go our own way."

Sheng Tingchen chuckled softly, "You want to see your niece lose her mother?"

"Divorce doesn't mean Meimei will lose her mother."

"If she remarries and has another child, how much maternal love will she still have for Meimei? I think you know better than anyone the pain that parental divorce will have on a child. I don't want to see Meimei suffer."

Su Qingzhi couldn't refute Sheng Tingchen's words for a moment. After pondering for a while, she said, "You are indeed a good father, so why are you unwilling to face the past?"

Sheng Tingchen smiled faintly, "It always takes time, doesn't it?"

Su Qingzhi stared at him intently, but ultimately said nothing more.

The day.

Rong Shu, Jiang Yu, Pei Yu, and Sheng Tingze spent an afternoon at the temple fair, which was incredibly crowded.

They went to the Taoist temple to draw lots and asked for several more talismans.

I watched the lantern festival in the evening.

After dinner, they said their goodbyes and left.

Because I had told Meimei in advance, she didn't call again.

Jiang Yu returned home.

He immediately found Jiang Huaixu and asked, "Brother, what is this?"

Jiang Huaixu took it; it was a fortune slip, a very auspicious one.

"What are you asking for?" Jiang Huaixu asked.

Jiang Yu spoke in riddles, "Guess?"

Jiang Huaixu raised an eyebrow. "I'm asking if you and Pei Yu can get together?"

Jiang Yu shook his head. "You guessed wrong."

Jiang Huaixu, "What is that?"

Jiang Yu: "Never mind, I'll just tell you directly. Ask me about you and Xiao Shu. I heard that the divination at this Taoist temple is very accurate."

Jiang Huaixu smiled slightly. "Is that so?"

"Of course, wouldn't you say this is the best New Year's gift your sister could give you?" Jiang Yu asked, looking for praise.

Jiang Huaixu carefully put away the fortune slip and said, "Let's calculate it!"

Jiang Yu smiled with narrowed eyes, "You can go and try your luck another day when you have time."

"Um."

When Rong Shu got home, she washed up and tidied herself up. She took the USB drive that Sheng Tingchen had given her the night before, plugged it into her computer, and clicked on it. There were five long videos. The moment she saw the cover, she knew what they were.

It's a documentary about Mei Mei's growth.

From the moment she grew from a tiny little thing to the moment she slowly crawled, and then learned to walk unsteadily, and to speak and call out to people, the first word Meimei learned was "mama".

The Sheng family certainly didn't teach her how to call her "Mom," but Meimei learned how to call her "Mom." The time when she was pregnant with Meimei instantly flashed through her mind. She could say that she only managed to persevere because of the baby in her belly. Although Meimei couldn't say anything, she could feel her mother's emotions and knew how hard her mother had worked.

suddenly.

Rong Shu could no longer hold back her tears, which flowed down her cheeks like a broken dam.

My heart aches in waves.

After a while.

She finally calmed down.

She watched that scene of calling for her mother countless times.

Until then.

A cell phone vibrated.

She saw the caller ID, took a deep breath, picked up her phone, and answered the call, her voice calm yet distant: "Hello!"

The call was from Sheng Tingchen.

"I'm outside the door."

Rong Shu frowned. "What do you want?"

"You come out first."

"Tell me on the phone if you need anything, I'm tired."
