Chapter 201 Are we husband and wife?
"David!"
Suddenly a woman's voice came.
Rong Shu turned around and saw a beautiful woman with an extraordinary temperament. She had long golden hair, amber eyes, and an appearance comparable to a supermodel. You could tell at a glance that she was a socialite.
David, seeing her, asked in surprise, "Eleanor, what brings you here? When did you arrive?"
Eleanor didn't answer David's question. Instead, she looked at Rong Shu and introduced herself, "Hello, my name is Eleanor, and I'm David's fiancée. May I ask what this lady's relationship is with David?"
David paused, frowning slightly, his face showing displeasure. "Eleanor, we're not engaged yet?"
Eleanor simply looked at Rong Shu.
A woman's sixth sense told Rong Shu that she clearly felt the other person's hostility towards her. She naturally understood what the other person meant by those words. This Miss Eleanor was probably a marriage arranged by her family.
Rong Shu reached out and shook hands with the other person. "Hello, Evelynn. David and I are classmates and friends."
"Well, Miss Evelynn is very beautiful, the most beautiful Asian woman I've ever seen. No wonder David cared so much about you and brought you to the banquet."
"Thank you, Miss Eleanor, you look beautiful today too. You and David are a perfect match."
Eleanor smiled. "Thank you. Miss Evelynn, you may give him to me today."
Rong Shu said, "Miss Eleanor is too kind. He is your fiancé, so there's no question of him giving way."
Seeing that the two were completely ignoring him, and hearing their words, David turned to Eleanor and said in an annoyed tone, "Eleanor..."
He was about to say something.
The phone in Rong Shu's bag vibrated.
She took out her phone, saw the caller ID, and said to the two of them, "Excuse me, I need to answer this call."
"Evelynn!" David cried out anxiously.
Eleanor grabbed David's hand. "David, I can tell Miss Evelynn doesn't like you at all."
David withdrew his hand, looked at Eleanor, and said in a noticeably harsher voice, "Eleanor, this is none of your business. Don't make me sick of you."
Eleanor didn't seem to care, saying, "You go with her; from now on, she's no longer your companion."
Rong Shu walked towards Jiang Huaixu and Sheng Tingze with her phone in hand, and the two followed her when they saw her.
At this time.
The lights suddenly dimmed.
In an instant.
The entire banquet hall was plunged into darkness.
Exclamations of surprise rose and fell.
Then someone accidentally bumped into the table, and a glass shattered with a crash.
Rong Shu was startled by the sudden darkness.
She was about to turn on her phone's flashlight.
Suddenly her wrist was gripped by a force.
Rong Shu tensed up and stared wide-eyed at the person who appeared beside her.
Her eyes hadn't adjusted to the darkness yet, so she couldn't see the person in front of her clearly, but she could smell a familiar perfume on the man.
"you!"
Followed by.
She was pulled away and led outside.
"Sheng Tingchen!"
The people in front did not react.
Only after she stepped out of the banquet hall, bathed in the moonlight, could she clearly see the man's profile.
"Sheng Tingchen, what are you doing? Let me go!"
Unable to break free, Rong Shu held up her skirt with one hand and stumbled along with the man's long strides in her high heels.
"what!"
Sheng Tingchen held the woman's wrist and felt her body drooping downwards.
Looking back.
Rong Shu had already knelt down on the ground, one hand supporting her on the ground, while the other arm was being pulled by the man.
She was in so much pain that her face turned pale.
The phone in her hand fell in front of her, and the screen shattered.
Sheng Tingchen bent down and squatted down to pick the woman up in his arms.
Rong Shu looked up at the hateful man in front of her. "Sheng Tingchen, are you sick?" She wanted to hit him, but her hand was cut and injured, so she held back.
Sheng Tingchen looked at her woman's bleeding palm, then at her furious face, and said calmly, "If you had just listened to me, you wouldn't have had to suffer like this."
Rong Shu was so angry she wanted to bite someone. "Why should I listen to you? Wasn't I injured because of your unreasonable and domineering behavior?"
A black sedan slowly drove up.
The driver got out of the car and opened the door.
Sheng Tingchen carried her into the car, fastened her seatbelt, then turned around to pick up her phone that had fallen to the ground before getting into the car himself.
The car drove away from the manor.
The lights gradually came on throughout the manor.
inside the car.
Rong Shu looked at her shattered phone. Just before it broke, her phone rang once, and she saw that it was Jiang Huaixu calling.
The phone won't turn on, so I can't make a call back.
Right now, my palms, legs, and knees are throbbing with pain.
At this time.
Sheng Tingchen's phone rang with video call audio. He picked up the phone and opened the video.
"dad."
A beautiful voice came through.
Have you had breakfast?
It's 8 a.m. in China right now.
Meimei asked, "I've already eaten. Is someone with Daddy?"
Sheng Tingchen turned to the side and raised his hand slightly.
"Aunt Evelynn!" Meimei's excited voice came from inside.
Rong Shu looked back, still unable to control her emotions.
"Aunt Evelynn, what's wrong? You look unhappy. Did Daddy bully you again?"
Rong Shu listened to Mei Mei's words and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Meimei immediately got angry and angrily said to her father, "Daddy, why did you bully Aunt Evelynn?"
Sheng Tingchen glanced at the silent woman beside him, then looked at Meimei and comforted her, "Daddy will apologize to Aunt Evelynn properly when we get back."
Meimei sat cross-legged on the bed with her hands tucked in, and said, "Hmph, Daddy will apologize now. I want to watch Daddy apologize."
Sheng Tingchen turned to look at Rong Shu and said, "I'm sorry."
Rong Shu turned her head to look out the car window without responding.
Meimei huffed.
Sheng Tingchen looked away from Meimei and coaxed her, "Alright, Meimei, Daddy will apologize to Aunt Evelynn properly when we get back."
"If Aunt Evelynn ignores Daddy, then I won't ignore Daddy either."
Sheng Tingchen sighed and said, "Dad will apologize properly. Be good at Grandma's house. I'll hang up now."
The video call ended.
The carriage fell silent.
Sheng Tingchen looked at Rong Shu again, his gaze sweeping over her injured palm hanging between her legs.
Silence throughout.
The vehicle drove further and further away.
Rong Shu turned to look at the man and asked coldly, "Where are you taking me?"
Sheng Tingchen didn't look at her. "You'll know when we get there."
Rong Shu took a deep breath and said, "Sheng Tingchen, I'm nothing to you. We can continue to be complete strangers."
Sheng Tingchen glanced at her, scoffed, and said, "A complete stranger, so why are you bringing up divorce with me?"
Rong Shu coldly retorted, "In your eyes, are we husband and wife?"
Sheng Tingchen looked at her.
After a brief silence.
He looked away without responding.
Rong Shu gave a cold laugh.
Sudden.
His phone vibrated. He picked it up; the caller ID showed Zhao Zheng calling. He pressed the answer button, "Hello!"
