Chapter 5 He Has No Heart
The meal went peacefully with Shu Wan's patience.
The brother and sister of the Rong family were very angry.
Rong Chen was fine, as he always remained calm even in the face of a crisis, so it didn't show on his face. But Rong Yiyi was different, she was almost fuming with anger, she only ate two bites of the meal, and the chopsticks in her hand were about to poke a hole in the bottom of the bowl.
After dinner, Shu Wan took the things Zhao gave her and left.
Rong Chen watched her leave and also stood up and left.
Rong Yiyi finally spoke and scolded Shu Wan.
Zhao did give her a lecture, telling her not to be so outspoken and not to show her dissatisfaction with Shu Wan in front of Shu Wan.
After all, their family is in a difficult situation now and they have to rely on the Shu family's property for support.
…
Shu Wan got up very early today and was already very sleepy. After coming back, he planned to take a nap.
The servant had just taken off the pearl hairpin on her head when she heard that Rong Chen had arrived.
Shu Wan cursed in a low voice and then stood up.
After Rong Chen came in, he looked at her with displeasure and didn't move.
Shu Wan glared back rudely.
Bigger than the eyes, right? Who is afraid of whom? Now she is not in front of Zhao, so she is fearless.
"What are you doing here?" In the end, Shu Wan was defeated. What's the big deal about being tall? Ha, the important thing to do is to get rid of this person as soon as possible.
Rong Chen raised his eyebrows. Ha, you’re not pretending anymore?
"I'm sorry for wronging you yesterday, so I came here specially to apologize to you!" Rong Chen looked at her and spoke word by word.
He said he apologized, but his expression and tone didn't show any apology at all.
"You?" Shu Wan asked almost subconsciously.
"What?" Rong Chen asked back with a wry smile.
Shu Wan didn't say anything else. She thought, isn't it easy to know Rong Chen's purpose? If she uses her special ability of mind reading, wouldn't she know it? So she moved her ears and looked up at Rong Chen seriously.
The latter was stunned for a moment, wondering what this woman was doing? Why was she looking at him like that?
Rong Chen frowned unconsciously.
Shu Wan's gaze towards Rong Chen gradually became complicated, and in the end it became indescribable.
Shu Wan, who couldn't hear what Rong Chen was thinking, immediately fell into dismay.
Her mind-reading ability failed!
Seeing her sad face, Rong Chen felt even worse. Is he really that annoying? How could he make me cry?
“What is Madam doing? Why is she acting like her husband is dead… Ugh, no, her husband is the city lord, you can’t scold her like that… Why is Madam acting like she’s suffered a huge blow? This is not okay!”
At this time, Shu Wan heard what the old lady in the room was thinking.
Shu Wan was so excited that tears streamed down her face. She took a step forward, grabbed the old lady's arms, and almost gave her a big hug.
Her sudden action scared everyone in the room.
The old nanny thought she had done something wrong, so the lady wanted to punish her.
Rong Chen’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot and so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
This damn woman! What does this mean? How dare she ignore him.
The temperature in the room suddenly dropped several degrees.
"Madam..." The nanny's legs went weak and she almost knelt down to Shu Wan.
Shu Wan, who hadn't seen Rong Chen's expression yet, held her tightly, preventing her from kneeling down.
She was calling out to her benefactor in her heart. It turned out that her golden finger had not yet expired and she was still the awesome Shu Wan.
"Madam, what's wrong with you? The city lord will kill me..."
The old lady wanted to cry but had no tears. On one side was the enthusiastic lady who smiled like a flower, and on the other side was the city lord with a gloomy face and fire in his eyes. She really regretted why she didn't run away earlier and why she had to stay here! Shu Wan looked back at Rong Chen and saw that he looked like he wanted to eat her.
She murmured in her heart, this is impossible, how could she not hear Rong Chen's thoughts? In order to verify whether she really couldn't hear it, her eyes shifted back and forth between Madam and Rong Chen.
Mammy: "Madam, what's wrong? Why are you so strange?"
Rong Chen: “…”
Matron: "Is there something wrong with Madam? Or is she upset?"
Rong Chen: “…”
Mammy: "Madam! What's wrong with you..."
Rong Chen: “…”
Mammy: “Madam…”
Mammy: "Husband..."
Rong Chen: “…”
…
…
Shu Wan: ...
"Okay, you can go out now!" She let go of the nanny, sat on the chair, and waved her hands.
She didn't know about others, and she couldn't hear what Rong Chen was thinking.
"Madam, the city lord is here, how can you just sit down by yourself? If you are sitting, why are you sitting in such an... indecent posture..."
The nanny opened her mouth, but still said nothing. She just said yes and left.
She was afraid that if she said anything more, Shu Wan would pull her and smile foolishly again. The city lord's eyes were too scary.
She wants to live.
Shu Wan turned her head again and looked at Rong Chen viciously.
She understood. It wasn't that her mind-reading ability failed. It was that he had no heart. This person had no heart!
