Chapter 117 made him unable to laugh.
Attorney Wang stated, "The court cited the defendant's request for a postponement as the reason, but did not disclose the specific reasons, and the postponement is indefinite."
Rong Shu tightened her grip on her phone.
"Miss Rong, I suggest you have a talk with Mr. Sheng first."
Attorney Wang clearly sensed the powerful backing of the opposing party, realizing that filing a lawsuit would likely not be easy.
Rong Shu said, "I understand."
Put down your phone.
Rong Shu sat on the sofa in silence.
He then picked up his phone, found a number, and dialed it.
The phone rang twice and then was hung up.
Rong Shu frowned.
Then she dialed David's number.
Before she could say anything, David's voice came through: "Hi, Evelynn, did you miss me?"
Rong Shu asked directly, "David, do you know where Sheng Tingchen is?"
David sighed dejectedly, "So he didn't miss me after all! Why would he want to see me?"
Rong Shu said, "I need to talk to him about something."
"We're playing billiards at the pool hall right now! Want to come?"
Rong Shu got up and left the room.
After asking the staff downstairs, I went to the billiards hall.
Open the door and go inside.
The large, brightly lit billiard hall was unusually quiet, with only the sound of billiard balls colliding.
There were only Sheng Tingchen, David, and one staff member at the pool table.
The man leaned forward, displaying an exceptionally high waist-to-hip ratio. He gripped the golf club, his strong, powerful arms perfectly sculpted. His gaze was focused, exuding an aura of readiness. With a powerful thrust of his arm, the balls collided, and all five balls went into the hole.
David looked on, sighed, and said, "You really didn't leave me a single ball."
Sheng Tingchen straightened up and said calmly, "I've never liked leaving people a way out."
David chuckled and turned to look at Rong Shu who had just entered. "Evelynn, you're here! Come help me win a game, this guy is just too arrogant."
Rong Shu walked forward with a sullen face. Sheng Tingchen was wiping the golf clubs and didn't look at her once from beginning to end.
The staff rearranged the balls for the next game.
Rong Shu stood opposite Sheng Tingchen and said, "Sheng Tingchen, let's talk."
The man's cold, dark gaze swept over her for the first time before he struck the ball, saying, "There's nothing to talk about between us."
Rong Shu frowned and stared at him.
David glanced at Rong Shu, then at Sheng Tingchen. He sensed a problem between the two, not just because of her conflict with An Qingyue that night.
Sheng Tingchen looked at David and urged, "It's your turn."
David made no further move, and said, "Tingchen, Evelynn has something to say to you."
Sheng Tingchen said to David, "This is your last chance to turn things around. Of course, you can just admit defeat."
David chuckled: "With Evelynn around, I'm sure I can beat you."
As he spoke, he looked at Rong Shu and said, "Evelynn, once I beat this arrogant guy, I'll let him do whatever he wants with me."
Rong Shu reached out and took the golf club from David's hand, saying, "No need, I can do it myself."
David laughed and said, "Okay, Evelynn, you'd better make sure this guy doesn't laugh anymore."
Sheng Tingchen stared at Rong Shu.
Rong Shu hits the next round of balls.
It was obvious that Rong Shu's skills were more superb than David's. David praised her from the side, "Evelynn has won the Americas Championship for two consecutive years. Tingchen, is it too late for you to admit defeat now?"
Sheng Tingchen's thin lips curled slightly as he said, "Is that so? Then I'd like to see just how capable she really is."
Hearing the man's tone, Rong Shu wished she could shove the billiard ball into his mouth.
The man's gaze swept over him before he struck the ball.
After three rounds of driving.
It was a completely evenly matched situation.
David said smugly, "Tingchen, don't underestimate Evelynn."
Sheng Tingchen's expression remained unchanged, revealing neither joy nor anger.
Rong Shu bent over, her slender fingers landing in front of a white ball, then struck a bouncing ball, which went into the hole.
"pretty!"
David couldn't help but cheer.
Sheng Tingchen looked at Rong Shu.
Rong Shu raised her eyes and looked at the man coldly, saying, "Your turn!"
Sheng Tingchen withdrew his gaze and walked to the other side.
This decision will determine life or death.
As a result, the man successfully potted the chosen colored ball and the number eight ball into the earth pocket.
David protested, "If you hadn't broken the ball, Evelynn would definitely have won."
Throughout the entire process, Rong Shu made no mistakes, and neither did Sheng Tingchen, nor did they show any intention of backing down.
"Evelynn wants another round?" David asked.
At this time.
Rong Shu looked at Sheng Tingchen.
Their eyes met; the man's dark eyes were deep and unfathomable.
The surrounding air suddenly became exceptionally cold and desolate.
Rong Shu was about to say something.
"Brother Chen!"
An Qingyue's voice came as she and her girlfriends walked in.
The moment she saw Rong Shu, her face turned cold. She clenched her fingers and strode forward, intending to slap her across the face.
"Miss An!" David's voice rang out. "What are you trying to do?" His voice carried a dangerous undertone.
An Qingyue paused in her steps.
Rong Shu said, "It's alright, I want to see what she's up to."
"Evelynn!" The man's voice was as cold as ice.
Rong Shu's heart tightened involuntarily as she glanced at the handsome man with a cold expression.
"Do you really think you have the ability to do whatever you want?"
Before Rong Shu could speak, David said, "Tingchen, it's their business if Evelynn and your girlfriend have a conflict. I won't stand for it if you bully Evelynn."
Sheng Tingchen looked at David, his handsome face cold and stern: "David, don't get too caught up in the role."
David's expression changed.
Rong Shu asked, "Sheng Tingchen, what exactly do you want?"
Sheng Tingchen glanced coldly at Rong Shu, offered no response, and strode straight to An Qingyue's side. He put his arm around her waist and said, "Let's go!"
Rong Shu stood there, watching the two figures leave, her fingers clenched tightly.
"Evelynn!" David exclaimed worriedly.
At this time.
Rong Shu's phone vibrated.
It was a phone call from Jiang Huaixu.
"professor!"
"Okay, I'm outside, I'll be right there."
I hung up the phone.
Rong Shu looked at David and said, "I'm leaving now."
David asked, "Evelynn, do you know Tingchen too?"
Rong Shu smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "He is my married husband."
Until Rong Shu left.
David stood there, stunned, for a long time.
Rong Shu returned upstairs and met up with Jiang Huaixu. "Professor!"
"Where did you go?"
Rong Shu said, "I went downstairs for a walk."
Jiang Huaixu hummed in agreement and didn't press further. "Let's go have lunch."
Rong Shu said, "Have someone bring it up! I don't want to go downstairs."
Jiang Huaixu said, "Alright, I'll have someone bring it up."
The two arrived at the living room of the room.
Jiang Huaixu asked, "Did Attorney Wang call you?"
Rong Shu nodded and told Jiang Huaixu what Attorney Wang had said.
This was entirely expected.
"So what are your plans now?"
Rong Shu's voice was filled with exhaustion as she said, "I don't know yet. We'll talk about it when we get back to Beijing tomorrow."
"Um!"
The staff quickly brought up lunch.
The two talked about other things.
In the afternoon, I met with An Hongjie and other business tycoons for a round of golf.
"Go ahead! I'll stay in my room for a bit!"
She doesn't want to go anywhere right now.
"Alright!"
Rong Shu spent the whole afternoon in her room, her mind a complete mess, and did absolutely nothing.
She took the initiative to contact Meimei.
Meimei was overjoyed to receive her call. She was still out having fun, but she immediately went back to her car to call Rong Shu.
With Meimei on video call, Rong Shu's mood improved considerably.
