Chapter 11
Rongshu sat in Fu Jingting’s car, speechless all the way.
Soon, they arrived at the Fu family’s old residence.
Old Lady Fu lived in the suburbs and liked to be quiet, often worshipping Buddha and offering incense, with only a few maids serving her.
When she hit a distance, Rong Shu heard the old lady’s cough.
“You go stand at the door.” The old madam was pale and did not look well. She first spoke coldly to Fu Jingting before she took Rong Shu into the inner room.
“I didn’t expect such a big thing to happen soon after I went out and came back, Shushu, you’re too impulsive.”
Rong Shu knew that the old lady was talking about her divorce from Fu Jingting.
Slowly walking forward and holding the Old Madam’s slightly cool hand as she always did, she smiled faintly, “Old Madam, you should be happy for me, I’m finally able to be myself aren’t I?”
The old lady shouted at Fu Jingting outside the door with a slight grumble and turned her head, a little sad: “Ah Ting, this child is confused, he missed such a good daughter-in-law like you, so you are now calling me ‘old lady’ as a polite term.”
Rongshu was stunned, and heat welled up in her eyes, “Grandma.”
The old lady patted the back of her hand, “Shu Shu, I have seen your feelings for Jing Ting over the years, can you really let go?”
“Apart from letting go, I have no choice.” Rongshu’s heart sank, what could she do if she didn’t let go? It was really enough.
The old lady held her in her arms and gently patted her back to comfort her, “I don’t blame you for divorcing Jingting, I knew there would be a day sooner or later, it’s because Ting wasn’t lucky enough.”
Rongshu quietly leaned back into the old lady’s arms.
During her years in the Fu family, Old Madam was the only person who had shown her any kindness.
With the old lady in the house, neither Wang Shuqin nor Fu Jinglin dared to act recklessly, and they always had to be scrupulous.
Rong Shu did not regret the divorce, but it was just a little regrettable that she could not be by her filial side to do her filial duty.
“Shu’er ah, Jing Ting this child I grew up seeing, understand his nature, if one day he redeems you, will you still come back?”
The old lady couldn’t let go of such a good granddaughter-in-law and naturally hoped that the two would still be together in the future.
But Rong Shu was not naive, she knew that the only person who could make Fu Jingting soften his attitude was Gu Manyin, not her.
The corner of Rongshu’s lips tugged, “But grandmother, he doesn’t like me, I should have understood that six years ago.”
The old lady also realised what was going on and her face fell into a grim silence.
“Grandmother, whether I am your granddaughter-in-law or not, I am the same Rongshu who respects you.” She reached out and tucked her hand in the Old Madam’s hair temples and smiled, “Be happy, get well, and don’t worry about the rest.”
Fu Jingting stood quietly outside.
The kind of bond between Rongshu and the old lady was clear to him.
Although he did not like Rong Shu all these years, he could not deny that Rong Shu was extremely good to the old lady, no worse than her own children.
Even though Wang Shuqin and Fu Jinglin had not treated her well, she had always taken care of them.
When he found out that Gu Manyin’s car accident was the work of Rong Shu, Fu Jingting was disgusted, but he chose to let her off the hook because she was truly devoted to the old lady.
It was a final act of forgiveness for her.
After a long time, the two people inside the house came out.
“Shu’er, when you are free, come and see me, the old woman, more often, I’m afraid I don’t have many years to live.”
“What are you talking about, grandmother? You are the one who will live a long life, I will visit you often.”
At this point, Fu Jingting stepped forward, “I’ll drive you.”
Rongshu declined, “No need, someone will pick me up.” Turning around, she walked towards the black Maybach that had already arrived.
Fu Jingting’s gaze sank as it was Lu Qi and the male model.
The cozy picture of the three of them talking and laughing was inexplicably harsh.
The old lady coughed a few times, a little out of breath: “I’m old and I can’t manage your affairs anymore, but Ah Ting …… hope you won’t regret it one day.”
The old lady, who had always loved him, had become so disappointed with him that she did not want to look at him one more time and went back with the help of her servants.
Fu Jingting stood alone in the doorway, his face cold.
Regret?
Impossible.
Chapter 12
The next day, Fu Jingting sat at his desk with the red booklet of divorce papers on the table.
He looked at it for a while and threw it into the trash.
At this moment, Zhang’s a*sistant came forward and said respectfully, “Sir, Chairman Gu of the Sangsheng Group has called you.”
Gu Manyin’s father?
Fu Jingting gathered his emotions and picked up the landline, “Uncle Gu.”
There was a middle-aged man with a hoarse voice, “Jingting, Gu Manyin has been quite obedient at your home these days, hasn’t she? I haven’t had time to visit her lately, so your aunt has been there to keep her company and relieve her boredom.
Fu Jingting’s voice was steady: “Uncle don’t worry, Mangyin is recovering well these days, my mother is often with her.”
“Oh, that’s good.” Gu Yaotian tried, “I’ve heard some rumours, it is said that Mangyin’s car accident six years ago was related to your ex-wife, yesterday Gu Mangyin’s mother went to see Gu Mangyin and also asked some questions, but Mangyin has been evasive.
The man looked stunned, pursed his lips and did not say anything immediately.
“Jingting, are you listening?”
Half a sound, Fu Jingting frowned, “That car accident …… did have a little something to do with Rong Shu.”
Gu Yaotian spoke at length: “You also know that Gu Manyin is the baby I have loved since childhood, that car accident six years ago almost broke your aunt and I. The first person Mangyin saw after she woke up was you, so it is clear how deep her feelings for you are. As for your ex-wife or Mangyin, who is more important, I think you know very well.”
Fu Jingting lowered his eyes: “Mm.”
The other side seemed satisfied: “Jingting, I believe you will be the most worthy person to entrust Mangyin with.”
After the phone hung up, Fu Jingting pondered for a moment.
Only after a long time did he call Zhang’s a*sistant in, “There’s something for you to do.”
……
Rongshu and Li Chuan Lu Qi came out of the Tiansheng headquarters building side by side.
Lu Qi smilingly hooked his shoulder to Li Chuan and gave him a thumbs up, “That was wonderful just now, you didn’t see the faces of those old men, they were all green, still Li Chuan has a solution, haha.”
Rong Shu also couldn’t help but curl her lips, “Those people have a lot of opinions about me because of a money theft case six years ago, naturally they won’t easily accept the fact that I’m the new shareholder, but Li Chuan’s solution worked, they were dumbfounded.”
She had never asked how Li Chuan and Grandpa met, nor had she asked why he knew something about Tiansheng’s company.
Li Chuan was a model now, but everyone had their own secrets.
It was respectful.
Grandfather wasted so much effort to get fifty-one percent of the shares, she is going to use these shares, stand firm in Tiansheng and thoroughly investigate the truth about six years ago.
As for the Gu family ……
Her eyes flashed, not in a hurry, step by step.
“Baby, you are also a person of status now, you can’t be sloppy in dressing in the future, you can’t let others underestimate you, let’s go, let’s go buy some clothes and jewellery.”
Lu Qi drove them both to a first-cla*s brand shop.
It was a paradise for ladies in the upper cla*s circle, where there were extraordinarily expensive items such as clothes, jewellery and jewellery.
But the trio’s original good mood was spoiled by a shrill, mean voice.
“Stop right there you little overbelly!” A familiar tirade, a familiar tone of voice.
The smile on Rongshu’s face instantly disappeared.
Turning around to look, Wang Shuqin had her arms crossed and her eyes glaring.
She walked up to Rong Shu, pointing at her nose and cursing, “Good for you, you b*****d, not only did you do the scandalous thing of cheating before marriage, but you even took my son’s money and brought two lovers here to buy things? Aren’t you disgusting, you Rong Shu!”
Li Chuan’s face was sulky as he stepped in front of Rong Shu: “Watch your mouth.”
Wang Shuqin rolled her eyes at the sky, her voice as loud as it could be, drawing a large crowd of people around her: “Everyone, come and see! This woman is a disgraceful Beyoncé, she’s taking my son’s hard-earned money and fooling around with her adulterers! Look, everyone, one woman, two men, it’s like the current Pan Jinlian!”
