Chapter 259 Finding a way to get Qingzhi to come to our house for dinner
She hadn't been home since the last time she almost got into trouble. Although nothing happened, Pei Lanhua still felt a chill in her heart whenever she thought about it.
Rong Shu laughed, "Mom, you're making it sound like I haven't been back for years."
"Xiao Shu is back."
Rong Qingwen's voice came through.
"dad."
"You've been working really hard lately!"
Rong Shu said, "It's the end of the year, so it's normal to work hard."
Pei Lanhua held Rong Shu's hand and said, "Actually, Xiao Shu doesn't need to be so busy. You should reduce your workload. Your parents feel sorry for you when you're like this."
Rong Shu said, "My brother has also worked very hard. Look how long it has been since he had a proper rest."
Pei Lanhua said, "He's a man, and it's the time for him to build his career. How can he do it without hard work? Otherwise, how will he get a wife?"
Rong Shu smiled.
Only when you go home.
She then felt incredibly warm and relaxed.
She went to tease the baby and played with him for a while.
She stayed home today.
Pei Yu returned in the evening.
After dinner, the family chatted about everyday things. It was cold outside, but warm and cozy inside.
Next week is New Year's Day, and another year will pass by like this.
After dinner.
Rong Shu found Pei Yu.
"Brother, still busy?"
Pei Yu only rested for half a day yesterday.
"Yes, we have two projects to complete before the Lunar New Year, so we'll probably be busy until then."
Rong Shu nodded. "I have a project here. If Boheng can cooperate, there will be no problem in fulfilling the performance-based agreement."
She handed a document to Pei Yu.
Pei Yu reached out and took it. He looked through it, his eyes filled with undisguised shock. After carefully examining it, he looked at Rong Shu and asked, "Xiao Shu, did you negotiate this?"
The technology projects included in this contract were something Boheng wouldn't even dare to dream of; these kinds of projects are collaborations that only the top technology companies in China can secure.
If Boheng can actually sign a contract, they could definitely become one of the top companies in the industry in the future.
Although Pei Yu always advocated for steady progress, he secretly longed to lead Bo Heng to greater heights.
Rong Shu smiled helplessly and said, "No, it's Sheng Tingchen."
Upon hearing this...
Pei Yu was even more shocked.
"Sheng Tingchen?" His tone became wary. "Why did he give you this contract? What does he want you to do?"
Rong Shu said, "I've already accepted this project. Even if it's a temporary reconciliation with him, it's for Meimei's sake!"
She told him her thoughts.
Pei Yu frowned. "But Sheng Tingchen is a man of deep cunning and scheming."
Rong Shu said, "Brother, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. We'll take what we're entitled to, there's nothing to feel guilty about."
This contract essentially doubled the benefits Sheng Tingchen received from Zhao Zheng.
Pei Yu knew that since she had already made up her mind, it must have been a decision she had already thought through, and there was no point in him saying anything.
"It would be best if we could get back custody of Meimei."
Rong Shu smiled and said, "Then let's hope so!"
Rong Shu went downstairs.
I could vaguely hear Pei Lanhua and Rong Qingwen arguing about something.
Finally, Rong Qingwen compromised and said, "Okay, okay, I'll do whatever my wife says."
"Dad, Mom, what are you talking about?"
Pei Lanhua paused for a moment, then turned to Rong Shu and said, "Your dad deserves a beating. I'm considering whether to make him kneel on durians."
Rong Shu stepped forward, sat down next to Pei Lanhua, took her arm, first pinched the baby's soft, white cheek in her arms, and then said to Rong Qingwen, "Dad, don't make Mom angry."
"How could I dare? Your dad has become a coward now."
Pei Lanhua glared at him irritably and said, "Then retreat into your shell and avoid causing trouble everywhere."
Listening to the two bickering.
Rong Shu also felt happy.
At this time.
Rong Qingwen's phone vibrated.
He picked up his phone from the sofa, glanced at it, and Pei Lanhua also saw it. Then he pulled Rong Shu up and said, "Ignore your dad, let's take Xiaobao upstairs."
Rong Shu smiled and said, "Okay."
She picked up the baby, kissed him, and then went upstairs with Pei Lanhua.
She didn't care who called her father.
Until they went upstairs.
Rong Qingwen answered the phone and said, "Qingzhi, are you off work yet?"
Su Qingzhi said, "I'm still at the company, taking a break. Has Dad eaten?"
Rong Qingwen asked, "You've already eaten. Have you had dinner yet?"
"not yet."
"No matter how busy you are at work, you still need to eat on time. It's not worth ruining your health. The weather has been cold lately, so please take extra care to keep warm."
Su Qingzhi hummed in agreement. "I know. I've already had my assistant pick up dinner. Once this busy period is over, I can finally have a proper rest during New Year's Day."
"You should take a good rest during the holiday. Are you going back to Haishi with your mother for New Year's Day?"
Su Qingzhi said, "I probably won't go back."
"I see! Then staying in Beijing is a good option."
Su Qingzhi hummed in agreement.
The words fell.
Suddenly, both sides fell silent.
Su Qingzhi seemed to be waiting for her father to say something, until Rong Qingwen spoke up: "Then tomorrow when you're at the company, Dad will bring you lunch so you can try Dad's cooking."
He didn't hear what he wanted to hear from his father, but hearing his father's words still filled him with contentment.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the company."
He originally had other plans for tomorrow noon, but now he'll definitely have to cancel them all.
"it is good."
The father and son talked for a while.
Rong Qingwen put down his phone and sighed deeply.
But deep down, I haven't given up.
There's still some time before New Year's Day. He's been behaving better lately, so he'll have a good talk with Pei Lanhua and see if he can invite Qingzhi over for a meal on New Year's Day.
Su Qingzhi understood this in her heart. After all, her father had a new family now, and judging from his current state, he was living a good and happy life. So his personality was still the same as before.
The next day.
Rong Shu was jogging at the gym when she received a call from Sheng Tingchen. She pressed the button on her Bluetooth earpiece and heard the man's gentle voice ask, "Are you up?"
Rong Shu's voice was still slightly breathless as she asked, "Running? What's up?"
"Meimei wants to video chat with you."
Rong Shu said, "Let me pack up first before I call back."
"it is good."
After finishing her run, Rong Shu stretched for ten minutes, went back to her room to shower and tidy up, and then had a video call with Mei Mei.
"Mother."
A beautiful, clear, and melodious voice came from inside.
Rong Shu felt happy just listening to this.
But it wasn't just Meimei on the screen; Sheng Tingchen was also there. This was the first time he had appeared in her video call with Meimei.
Indeed, they are "quite self-aware".
The man was sitting on a stool, leisurely drinking coffee. Even through the screen, his extraordinary and refined demeanor was undeniable.
Noticing the woman's gaze, he put down his coffee cup and greeted Rong Shu through the screen, "Good morning."
