Chapter 448 You have no idea how I feel right now
Sheng Tingchen glanced at Su Qingzhi sitting in the passenger seat and said slowly, "It's not that we've reached the point of no return yet. There's still a long time ahead."
Su Qingzhi looked at the car in front of him through the windshield, his expression numb and stiff. He did not respond to Sheng Tingchen's words.
Sheng Tingchen looked straight ahead and continued, "You should have expected this outcome. Since that's the case, then face it and solve it. You won't solve anything by doing this."
for a while
Su Qingzhi said, "Sometimes I really envy your cold-blooded decisiveness. If one day Meimei hates you, you can still calmly say such things."
talking.
He suddenly chuckled again and said, "Of course, you'll say you don't like hypotheticals, that you think everything is under your control, so you can't possibly understand how I feel right now."
Sheng Tingchen gripped the steering wheel, staring straight ahead, his dark eyes deep and unfathomable. He did not respond to Su Qingzhi's words.
Jiang Huaixu drove smoothly.
Rong Shu turned her head to look out the car window, remaining quiet and silent.
Jiang Huaixu wanted to say something, but it seemed that nothing he said would make a difference now.
at this time.
Inside the manor where An Qingyue and Zhao Zheng got engaged.
Because Zhao Zheng never showed up.
After the company ran into trouble, An Hongda gave Su Jinxi a few instructions and immediately took a private plane back to Haishi.
The Zhao couple are currently on a flight and will arrive in Beijing in an hour, ready to attend their engagement banquet tonight. They are completely unaware of the current situation.
Zhao Yizhou is now urgently contacting people to find them.
Since the engagement banquet was not cancelled, some guests remained, and everything at the manor continued smoothly.
Although they sensed something was amiss at the engagement party, no one knew exactly what had happened, and everyone was whispering among themselves.
Of course, what they discussed the most was that Su Qingzhi never appeared from beginning to end.
I had heard rumors before that Su Qingzhi doted on his half-sister. Even though he had fallen out with An Hongda, he didn't even attend his sister's engagement, such an important occasion.
Su Jinxi stayed with An Qingyue in the room, comforting her.
She knew that An Hongda wanted to use this marriage to strengthen his own power.
Zhao Zheng's rumors in North American high society are easy to find with a little research, so Su Jinxi was well aware of them. However, Qingyue was determined to get engaged to Zhao Zheng, and An Hongda had already made up his mind. There was nothing she could do but watch helplessly as everything unfolded.
Watching Zhao Zheng prepare a grand engagement banquet for Qingyue, and seeing her immersed in this illusory pleasure, she felt nothing but worry.
Today, her long-held bad premonition has finally come true.
She now regrets it more and more. If only she had chosen a marriage partner for Qingyue in Haishi earlier, before Zhao Zheng appeared.
She now hopes that Zhao Zheng will not appear again, and that their marriage will be called off. Qingyue marrying Zhao Zheng will only ruin her life, as Zhao Zheng does not love her at all.
At this time.
A knock came at the door.
Su Jinxi snapped out of her daze and said, "Come in."
The maid pushed open the door and entered. She walked up to Su Jinxi, bowed respectfully, and said, "Madam, Mr. Su and Mr. Sheng have arrived. They say they would like to see you and Miss."
Upon hearing this...
Su Jinxi was startled.
Suddenly, she thought of Rong Qingwen's matter. Today, she received news that people from the court had gone to the Rong family.
Suddenly, a strange sense of lingering fear welled up in my heart.
Now she really doesn't know how to face her son.
An Qingyue, who was leaning against the headboard, changed her expression and clenched her fingers when she heard the maid's words.
"Arrange for them to wait in the side hall first."
"Yes."
After the maid responded, she turned and left the room.
Su Jinxi turned her head to look at An Qingyue, reached out and squeezed her hand, and said, "Qingyue, you should rest first. Mom will go and check on things."
An Qingyue lowered her head and remained silent.
Su Jinxi called An Linchuan and asked him to come upstairs to keep her sister company.
When An Linchuan came upstairs and saw his mother, he said, "Mom, my brother is here."
Su Jinxi said, "I know, you stay with your sister first."
An Linchuan hummed in agreement. "If Mom has something to say, you and your brother should talk it out."
An Linchuan still greatly admired his half-brother, but given how strained their relationship had become, he couldn't say anything.
Su Jinxi reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "Mom knows. Spend some time talking with your sister."
After explaining.
After giving An Qingyue a few instructions, Su Jinxi left the room.
An Linchuan looked at his sister, who was leaning against the headboard, pale and expressionless. He walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and said, "Sister, there's really no need to torture yourself like this. There are plenty of good men in this world."
An Qingyue remained silent.
An Linchuan didn't say anything more and just quietly stayed with her.
Inside the side hall downstairs.
Rong Shu sat quietly on the sofa, while Su Qingzhi stood to the side, seemingly not daring to look at Rong Shu even once.
Neither Sheng Tingchen nor Jiang Huaixu sat down.
The atmosphere in the entire living room was so oppressive it was suffocating.
At this time.
The shrill sound of high heels clicking on the ground rang out, gradually drawing closer.
Then the servant's voice rang out, saying, "Madam."
The moment Su Jinxi approached the side hall, she sensed something was wrong. Her heart tightened inexplicably, and when she saw the person standing in the living room, she abruptly stopped.
Three pairs of eyes looked at her at the same time, each with a different expression.
Only Rong Shu, who was sitting with her back to the sofa, remained motionless.
Su Jinxi froze on the spot. When her gaze fell on Su Qingzhi, she could immediately see his dejection and helplessness.
From childhood to adulthood, even in Anjia.
She had never seen him in such a disheveled state before; even when suppressed, he always faced it with his back straight.
Then I looked at Rong Shu, who was sitting quietly on the sofa.
She instantly understood.
In an instant.
The huge living room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; no one spoke.
Su Jinxi stood there for a long time, her mind blank, her feet seemingly rooted to the spot, and she did not step forward.
until.
Jiang Huaixu spoke up, "Mrs. An, we are here today to attend Miss An's engagement banquet."
Su Jinxi snapped out of her daze, looked at Jiang Huaixu, forced a smile, and said in a stiff voice, "Okay, then... then you can sit down first."
She turned to walk back, but her steps suddenly became unsteady and weak. Her high heels made her unsteady, and she swayed. The maid quickly stepped forward to support Su Jinxi, saying, "Madam."
Su Jinxi was helped to her feet by the maid.
Rong Shu suddenly stood up.
Su Jinxi noticed her actions, and at that moment, she didn't know how to face her.
