Chapter 440: Chapter 440: A Bouquet of Flowers
Sheng Tang received a bouquet of flowers at the entrance of the auditorium.
The flowers were blooming enthusiastically, with a card in the middle. Surprisingly, the flowers were delivered to her by the security guard from the school’s mailroom.
The security guard said to Sheng Tang, "Your family sent these to you."
Sheng Tang glanced at the card.
The handwriting on the card was unfamiliar; it read, "Wishing Tangtang a successful performance."
The signature was a single character "Xu".
It was Xu Bingzhi who sent the flowers; he had found out she had a performance today.
He probably paid the guard to make an exception and deliver them for him.
Sheng Tang thanked the security guard: "Thank you for your trouble."
The security guard rode off on his electric bike and returned.
Sheng Tang held the flowers, not sure what to do with them. It seemed a shame to throw them away, but it felt awkward to carry them around.
Gu Shiting followed her out.
Seeing the scene, he immediately walked over to Sheng Tang, his voice tense: "Who sent these flowers?"
Sheng Tang couldn’t help but laugh seeing how serious he was: "Xu Bingzhi sent them."
"Who?" Gu Shiting’s brows furrowed even deeper.
Sheng Tang: "Let’s go, you hold them for now. I’ll get my clothes and backpack, then we can find a place to sit down, and I’ll explain everything slowly."
Gu Shiting stood at the entrance of the auditorium, holding a bouquet of flowers.
Fortunately, the teachers and students were all inside the auditorium, otherwise, this scene would have been big news for Huishi.
He called his driver.
Sheng Tang came out with her clothes changed, her makeup still on, carrying her backpack, and got into the car.
The flowers were still in Gu Shiting’s hands.
"So, people send flowers for performances?" Gu Shiting suddenly realized this.
He felt quite foolish for never thinking of it before.
He had seen Song Chen give flowers to his sister, and others too, but why had he never thought of doing the same for Sheng Tang?
In his heart, he quietly planned to make amends.
If not flowers, he could send Sheng Tang other things.
Since Sheng Tang’s makeup was still on, it was not appropriate to go elsewhere, so Gu Shiting had the driver take them home directly.
On the way, Sheng Tang told him about Xu Bingzhi.
She wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about the matter, just sharing what she knew.
Their family had never discussed this openly.
"...You’re not a child of the Sheng Family?" Gu Shiting was greatly surprised, the words slipping out, "Then you can move into my house!"
Sheng Tang knocked on his head: "Are you out of your mind?"
Gu Shiting: "..."
He was still struggling to digest the information.
How did Sheng Tang feel upon hearing such a big secret?
"Is he reaching out to you to take you back into the family?" Gu Shiting asked her.
Sheng Tang nodded: "Probably. But, I already have a father, I don’t need another. So, I rejected him; I don’t want any entanglements."
Gu Shiting agreed with her decision.
Changes are hard to accept, and he feared them the most.
Suddenly having a thought, Gu Shiting said to Sheng Tang, "Tangtang, if you really go back to him, you’ll have to change your name to Xu Tang. That name doesn’t sound good; Sheng Tang sounds much better."
Sheng Tang: "..."
Such a peculiar perspective could only come from Young Master Gu.
She laughed: "I won’t change my name, I will always be Sheng Tang."
Gu Shiting was quite curious about this matter.
He had Song Chen secretly investigate Xu Bingzhi, wanting to know if he posed any negative influence on Sheng Tang.
Song Chen quickly found information.
Xu Bingzhi’s family was involved in politics, and with his father’s promotion, they had moved to Beijing; the Xu Family’s influence was considerable, though not as prominent as Gu Shiting’s maternal family.
"Young Master, Xu Bingzhi has already established a branch office in Beijing and plans to move the company back to China," Song Chen said.
Gu Shiting pondered.
Maybe Xu Bingzhi was really doing all this for Sheng Tang?
