Chapter 208 Nobody Wants Your Man
Two days later.
Jiang Huaixu and Rong Shu attended a seminar at Stanford University.
Many industry leaders were present at the event.
David was also present.
After the seminar.
Professor Michael took the initiative to introduce Jiang Huaixu to people.
David found Rong Shu and asked, "Evelynn, how have you been lately?"
I've been busy lately.
Indeed, I have never met him.
"I'm quite busy."
"Sigh, I was really looking forward to your long-awaited visit to New York, but we can't even meet up."
Rong Shu smiled, "We've met, haven't we?"
David smiled and glanced in Jiang Huaixu's direction before reminding her, "Evelynn, you'd better not get involved in this DF Foundation matter. This is their war, and it has nothing to do with you, a woman."
Rong Shu said, "I didn't get involved. The professor's hand isn't working well right now, so I was just helping him organize some data analysis materials."
David nodded. "Is the follow-up work on the share transfer completed?"
"Yes, it's all taken care of."
During this time, Sheng Tingchen did not deliberately cause trouble, so everything went smoothly, and from then on, KU had nothing to do with her anymore.
When do you plan to go back to China?
Sheng Tingchen gave her five days, which didn't seem like a joke at all.
Jiang Huaixu also wanted her and Sheng Tingze to return to China as soon as possible. Sheng Tingze also had work to do in China, so they booked a flight for three days later.
Rong Shu told David.
David sighed, "It feels like you haven't been here long, our relationship hasn't progressed much, and you're leaving again."
Rong Shu couldn't help but chuckle, "You shouldn't make jokes like that again."
She's been here for almost a month; time really flies.
"Since you're leaving anyway, it's not too much to ask you to treat me to dinner tonight, is it?"
Rong Shu smiled and said, "Of course."
The seminar lasted until 5 p.m.
Jiang Huaixu had a dinner party that evening, and Rong Shu decided to treat David to dinner. She had to thank him properly for his help with the share transfer.
Rong Shu booked the oldest and most expensive restaurant in all of New York.
David drove to the restaurant.
After the car stopped.
The two got out of the car and walked towards the restaurant.
At this time.
A familiar figure stood in the direction of the doorway.
Rong Shu paused in her steps.
A car slowly pulled up in front of him, and a beautiful woman stepped out. The man was visibly taken aback when he saw her.
An Qingyue threw herself into the man's arms and hugged him tightly, saying, "Brother Chen, I missed you so much."
Sheng Tingchen glanced at Su Qingzhi, who followed him out of the car.
Su Qingzhi looked at Sheng Tingchen and said, "Qingyue said she wanted to give you a surprise."
Sheng Tingchen didn't say anything more. He placed his large hand on the woman's shoulder and said, "Alright, Qingyue, let's go inside first."
An Qingyue stepped out of the man's arms, reached out and tightly took Sheng Tingchen's arm, and said happily, "Okay."
As Sheng Tingchen turned to enter, his gaze fell upon David and Rong Shu standing not far to one side.
David saw him and waved at him.
Su Qingzhi and An Qingyue saw the two of them.
An Qingyue's face immediately darkened the moment she saw Rong Shu.
And what a coincidence that she's in New York again?
David stepped forward and greeted them warmly.
"What a coincidence, Tingchen, you're eating here too."
Sheng Tingchen looked at Rong Shu, but Rong Shu did not look at him.
"Qingzhi, it's been a long time."
Su Qingzhi turned her gaze away from Rong Shu and looked at David. "Long time no see."
David then looked at An Qingyue, who was holding Sheng Tingchen's arm. He had clearly seen the cold look in her eyes when she looked at Evelynn.
He'd seen plenty of women like that; they were just pretty faces who needed to be pampered by men.
I had no idea before that An Qingyue was a third party who interfered in someone else's marriage, and that she was so arrogant.
"Miss An, what kind of look is that? Do you think someone's trying to steal your man?"
An Qingyue's face stiffened. She could clearly feel the contempt in David's eyes, but David hadn't treated her like this before.
It must have been that bitch Rong Shu who said something to him.
Then he added, "But Miss An, you don't need to worry, no one wants your man right now."
Sheng Tingchen stared at David with a cold expression, but David was not afraid at all and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't say anything wrong."
Sheng Tingchen's voice turned cold as he said, "I think you're just too idle."
David immediately became alert.
Sheng Tingchen led An Qingyue into the restaurant.
Su Qingzhi glanced at the two of them and followed them inside.
David said to Rong Shu, "Let's go in too."
The two entered the restaurant and found a seat.
Sheng Tingchen and Su Qingzhi were three tables away from them, neither too far nor too close.
The waiter came forward and handed over the menu.
"You order!" Rong Shu said.
David took the menu and said, "Then I won't be polite."
Rong Shu smiled, "You'd better not stand on ceremony with me."
Ordered the food.
David suddenly said earnestly, "Evelynn, you Eastern women set your moral standards too high. Your current marriage is just a piece of paper. You can still date and find men. Tell me, what's the difference between you and being single all these years?"
Rong Shu smiled and said, "What you said is not wrong."
David smiled with narrowed eyes, "Then why don't you consider me first, and let you experience the kind of love a woman should have? I promise my world only revolves around you."
Rong Shu sipped her juice and said, "I don't want a long-distance relationship."
David said, "That's easy. I can go back to China with you right now. I still have the money for a plane ticket."
Rong Shu rejected him again.
David looked hurt. "They won't even give me a single chance. I'm so heartbroken."
Rong Shuwen smiled and said, "Don't you want to continue being friends with me?"
David said earnestly and helplessly, "It seems I really have no chance. But I hope that during this dinner, Evelynn, you will become my girlfriend, and from now on we will just be friends."
Rong Shu looked at him.
At this time.
A waiter pushed a food cart over, on which was placed a bouquet of vibrant roses.
Inside the restaurant.
Someone turned their gaze over.
Rong Shu was startled when she saw the roses on the food cart.
David stood up, holding the roses, and knelt on one knee in front of Rong Shu. "Evelynn, will you say yes?"
At this time.
Everyone in the restaurant looked at them.
Sheng Tingchen, Su Qingzhi, and An Qingyue watched this scene unfold.
An Qingyue knew a little about David, but it was always women who were throwing themselves at them. Seeing David actually kneeling down on one knee to give flowers to Rong Shu, she was surprised.
A feeling of jealousy rose in her heart. What right did this ugly woman have?
Rong Shu quickly took the roses over.
David leaned forward, and the two took a photo almost face to face. Because they were facing away from each other, Rong Shu's expression was not clearly visible.
David finished taking the photos, but his eyes couldn't hide his satisfaction.
Bystanders clapped and celebrated for them.
David generously declared, "I'll pay for everyone's meal tonight."
Another round of enthusiastic congratulations followed.
Su Qingzhi turned to look at Sheng Tingchen.
Sheng Tingchen indifferently withdrew his gaze, reached for his wine glass, and took a sip of wine.
