Chapter 285 Not even qualified to ask questions
Unfortunately, the hotel's chandelier malfunctioned today.
Qi Yanchao said, "The day before the annual meeting, the hotel was still carrying out relevant inspections, but the expansion screws of the chandelier were old and had not been dealt with in time. Now the police have intervened in the investigation."
Song Yan frowned. "You mean someone did it on purpose?"
Qi Yanchao could not deny this answer.
Over the years, Rong En has had many rivals, and it's possible that someone might resort to such underhanded tactics. It's unclear whether the other party is targeting Rong Shu or any other Rong En executive; there's no way to control when or when a chandelier might fall.
Qi Yanchao then looked at Rong Shu and asked, "Xiao Shu, are you alright?"
Rong Shu shook her head and said, "I'm fine, just some minor scratches."
"You were frightened this time too. Why don't you take Xiaoshu back to rest first, Pei Yu? I'll stay here and watch over her. I'll call you again when Huaixu wakes up."
Pei Yu nodded in agreement and looked at Rong Shu.
Song Yan also told her to go back first.
"Then I'll come again tomorrow morning."
"it is good."
Pei Yu left the hospital with Rong Shu.
She left her phone at the company's annual meeting.
Rong Shu used Pei Yu's phone to call Xue Mingjie and asked him to deliver her bag to the Xishan Villa.
back home.
Xue Mingjie had just arrived at the villa's entrance.
Rong Shu got out of the car.
Xue Mingjie quickly stepped forward, handed the bag to Rong Shu, and asked worriedly, "Evelynn, are you alright?"
Rong Shu said, "I'm fine."
"Where is General Manager Jiang?"
"There's no danger to your life, don't worry."
Rong Shu said a few words to Xue Mingjie, then got into the car and went into the villa.
Today, Pei Lanhua and Rong Qingwen took Xiaobao to a wedding banquet of Pei's relatives in a neighboring city, and they haven't returned yet.
"What would you like to eat?" Pei Yu asked.
Rong Shu said, "Anything is fine, just cook a bowl of noodles."
She doesn't have much of an appetite right now.
Pei Yu told the nanny to just cook two bowls of egg noodles.
Rong Shu returned to her bedroom and sat on the sofa looking at the missed calls on her phone. There were six calls from Sheng Tingchen and one from Sheng Tingze.
On his way there, Pei Yu received a call from Sheng Tingze, who was on his way back to the Xishan Villa.
Ten minutes later.
Three luxury cars parked one after another in front of the Rong family's gate.
Sheng Tingze got out of the car and saw Sheng Tingchen and Su Qingzhi getting out of the car. Sheng Tingze was surprised to see him.
Until the two got closer.
Sheng Tingze called out, "Cousin."
Sheng Tingchen hummed in agreement and said, "Let's go inside first!"
The three entered the villa.
Pei Yu opened the door and saw Sheng Tingchen and Su Qingzhi standing there. Pei Yu's expression darkened.
He turned to the side.
Sheng Tingze went in first and saw Rong Shu coming downstairs unharmed. He strode forward and asked, "Xiao Shu, are you alright?"
Rong Shu withdrew her gaze from Sheng Tingchen and Su Qingzhi, and said to Sheng Tingze, "I'm fine."
Sheng Tingze frowned and asked, "What exactly is the situation at the scene? Didn't the hotel conduct any prior inspections?"
Rong Shu said, "It's not clear yet; the police are still investigating."
"Anyway, nothing serious happened. Is the professor awake yet?"
"I haven't received a call from Yanchao yet. He's probably still unconscious. The doctor said he's not in any danger and should wake up tomorrow."
Sheng Tingchen stepped forward, looked at her, and asked, "Did you hurt your foot?"
Rong Shu did sprain her ankle. After being treated at the hospital, the pain had subsided, but she was still afraid to put too much weight on her feet. However, no one would notice anything unusual unless they looked closely.
Rong Shu said, "It's nothing serious."
Sheng Tingchen asked, "Do you want to come back with me tonight?"
"I want to stay home."
Sheng Tingchen didn't say anything, but responded with an unusually gentle "hmm," and said, "Then I'll bring Meimei to see you tomorrow."
Rong Shu said, "No need for now, let her stay at the Sheng family's place for the time being."
"Okay then."
Su Qingzhi stood behind Sheng Tingchen and Sheng Tingze, listening silently. Seeing that Xiao Shu was alright, he was relieved.
He doesn't even have the right to ask questions right now.
Pei Yu said, "President Sheng, if President Jiang has nothing else to say, please leave now!"
Rong Shu looked at Su Qingzhi and noticed the man's dejected and even helpless expression as he stood there.
She couldn't understand what Su Qingzhi meant at all.
Meeting Rong Shu's gaze, Su Qingzhi composed herself and said, "It's good that Miss Evelynn is alright."
Rong Shu looked at him but did not respond.
Sheng Tingchen turned and glanced at Su Qingzhi, then said to Rong Shu, "Get some rest tonight, I'll come see you again tomorrow."
"I'm fine. I'll be staying at home for the time being, so there's no need for you to come and see me."
Sheng Tingchen merely smiled slightly, then said goodbye to Pei Yu and left with Su Qingzhi.
The nanny has already cooked the noodles.
Sheng Tingze also skipped dinner and ate noodles with them.
"I don't think this matter is that simple," Sheng Tingze said.
Rong Shu hummed in agreement and said, "Now we can only wait for the investigation results."
Sheng Tingze asked again, puzzled, "An Qingyue's brother even came to see Xiaoshu. Could it be related to An Qingyue again?"
Rong Shu said, "An Qingyue is currently in Haishi, so her reach can't extend that far."
It takes a lot of guts to sabotage Rong En's annual party.
"We don't need to guess anymore, let's just wait and see," Pei Yu said.
Neither of them mentioned Su Qingzhi again.
"..."
Sheng Tingchen and Su Qingzhi drove away from the villa and went to the hospital, but Jiang Huaixu was still in a coma.
Qi Yanchao greeted the two politely upon seeing them.
The person is still unconscious.
Sheng Tingchen and Su Qingzhi then left the ward.
"Jiang Huaixu was seriously injured. If it weren't for him, Xiaoshu's life would probably be in danger right now." Su Qingzhi felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about it.
Sheng Tingchen's handsome face remained calm, revealing no emotion, and he did not respond.
Su Qingzhi turned to look at him, "Even if Xiao Shu doesn't love Jiang Huaixu, he is already an irreplaceable and important person to her."
Regardless of Jiang Huaixu's selfless protection this time, or his care for her over the years, such kindness can never be repaid.
Sheng Tingchen ignored and treated Xiao Shu coldly back then. If Jiang Huaixu and those friends hadn't been by her side, she probably would have had a hard time getting out of that quagmire.
Thinking back to the past.
Xiao Shu's ordeal kept replaying in his mind.
He felt as if his heart was being pricked by needles.
Even though his interests now conflict with Jiang Huaixu's, if time could be turned back, she really hoped that Xiaoshu could be with Jiang Huaixu.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world.
Why did God make Xiao Shu suffer so much pain when she met Sheng Tingchen? Why did God play such a cruel joke on him, leaving him unable to face her now?
