Chapter 113
“It was Mr. Fu who called to tell me, so I came over to visit you.” Rongshu replied.
The old lady feigned anger and grunted, “That brat, didn’t you tell him not to tell you.”
“Grandmother.” Rongshu shook her hand reluctantly, “You don’t tell me, do you not like me anymore?”
“Not at all.” The old lady lovingly stroked Rongshu’s hair, “Grandma I just don’t want you to worry.”
“But grandmother is the one who told me to worry by not telling me, in case I find out later that you’ve fallen, I’m sure I’ll regret why I didn’t know to come and see you earlier.” Rongshu touched the back of the old lady’s hand, “Don’t be like that in the future, grandmother, if there’s anything, you must tell me.”
“That’s right, I also think Xiao Shu is right.” Feng Ma finished arranging the flowers and spoke approvingly too.
The old lady smiled happily until she couldn’t even close her mouth, “Good, good, I’ll tell you sooner.”
“That’s right.” Rongshu also smiled.
“Old Madam, then let Xiao Shu accompany you, I will go to the doctor’s side and ask you what you need to pay attention to.” Feng Ma wiped her hands and said.
“Go ahead.” The old madam nodded her head.
After Feng Ma left, Old Madam took Rong Shu’s hand, “Shu ah, tell me about this time, how have you been?”
“Good.” Rongshu answered.
Then, she briefly talked about some of the recent events.
It was all in a good way, and she didn’t say anything about the Gu family’s targeting, just because she didn’t want the old lady to worry.
She didn’t know how long she had been talking when two laughing voices suddenly came from outside the ward.
Rongshu instantly heard that it was Wang Shuqin and Gu Manyin.
The Old Madam also heard them, and the kindness on her face instantly disappeared, turning into coldness.
Soon, the door opened and Wang Shuqin and Gu Manyin entered, laughing and joking.
Rongshu frowned unhappily.
What was wrong with these two people?
Grandma was sick, but they were fine, they were still laughing so happily.
“Miss Rong?” Gu Manyin was the first to spot Rong Shu, a surprised expression on her face.
When Wang Shuqin heard this, she turned her head and saw Rong Shu sitting by the old lady’s bed, her face sank and her voice sharply said, “Why are you here?
Before Rong Shu could answer, the old lady tightened her grip and spoke in a cold voice, “I asked Shushu to come here, do you have a problem with that?”
Wang Shuqin choked for a moment, then smiled, “Mom, look at what you’re saying, how dare I have any opinions, it’s just that she’s an outsider, it’s not good for you to let her come over, is it?”
The old lady snorted coldly, “Who said Shushu is an outsider, even if she is pushed down by some people and divorced from Jing Ting, she is still my grandmother’s granddaughter.”
“Grandmother ……” Rong Shu looked at the old lady with emotion.
On the side, Gu Manyin lowered her head, hiding the twist on her face.
Don’t think she couldn’t hear that the old lady was referring to her by certain people.
“Fine, fine, fine, it’s your granddaughter, it’s your granddaughter a*sembly, right?” Wang Shuqin compensated with a smile, but secretly glared fiercely at Rong Shu.
I really didn’t know what this old woman really liked about this dead girl, Rong Shu.
The dead girl had even left the Fu family and was still so protective.
“Grandmother, it’s getting late, I should go.” Rongshu looked at her watch and offered her farewell.
Originally, she had wanted to stay with the old lady for a little longer.
But now that Wang Shuqin and Gu Manyin, the two people she hated the most, were here, she didn’t want to stay.
The old madam took Rong Shu’s hand and did not let go, “Stay a little longer, grandmother has something for you later.”
“Something?” Although Rongshu was puzzled, she was smart enough not to ask what kind of things.
Gu Manyin, however, bit up her lower lip, her heart full of jealousy.
During this period of time, she had visited and curried favour with this old woman, but this old woman continued to treat her with indifference.
But now, as soon as she saw Rong Shu, she wanted to give her something, why?
Also unhappy was Wang Shuqin, who narrowed her eyes, “Mom, if you have something good, why don’t you give it to one of our own and have to give it to someone else?”
“Shameless thing.” The old lady’s face rose, “You have your eyes on other people’s pockets, you can’t get rid of this problem even after you’ve married into the Fu family for more than ten years, and besides, I can give my things to whoever I want, it’s not your turn to question, not to mention that it was originally Shu Shu’s.”
Rong Shu raised her eyebrows.
Wasn’t Wang Shuqin Fu Jingting’s mother?
Fu Jingting was already thirty years old this year, how could Wang Shuqin have only been married into the Fu family for ten years?
After being scolded by the old lady, Wang Shuqin wasn’t angry and skimmed her lips, “Who knows if it’s really hers, maybe it’s you who said that on purpose, mum.”
“You ……” the old lady coughed up in anger, her face turning red.
“Grandmother!” Seeing this, Rongshu did not care to think about Wang Shuqin, her face tightened and she hurriedly went forward to gently stroke the old lady’s chest and smooth her breath.
Wang Shuqin was so frightened that she didn’t know where to put her hands, “I …… I didn’t mean to.”
She really didn’t know that the old lady was so unstable.
I hope nothing will happen to the old lady and it will be over if she is not allowed.
Perhaps God heard her heart, the old lady’s breath gradually calmed down under Rong Shu’s rea*surance.
Rongshu breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Wang Shuqin.
Only Gu Manyin was a little disappointed.
She actually wanted something to happen to the old lady.
That way, no one in the Fu family would object to her marrying Jing Ting.
“Mum, quickly try the chicken soup I made for you.” Wang Shuqin’s eyes twinkled and she hurriedly changed the subject, not mentioning that she was angry at Old Madam.
Old Madam also knew her virtues and coldly snorted, not bothering to answer the question.
Wang Shuqin put the thermos bucket on the bedside.
As soon as it was opened, a strong scent of chicken soup emanated from it.
Somehow, Rong Shu felt a little nauseous when she smelt the aroma, her stomach churned and she couldn’t help but cover her lips and vomit, her face turned a little white.
When Gu Manyin saw her like this, she first frowned, then suddenly thought of something, her pupils shrank and she looked at her stomach incredulously.
“Shushu, what’s wrong with you, are you alright?” The old lady looked at Rong Shu and asked with concern.
Rongshu took a deep breath, forcing down the feeling of wanting to vomit, barely smiling and shaking her head, “Don’t worry grandmother, I’m fine.”
“But I see that you don’t look too well, are you sick?”
“It’s probably because I caught some cold wind on the way here by car, it’s not a problem.” Rongshu said back.
The old lady frowned disapprovingly, “It’s easy to catch a cold from the cold wind, it’s better to invite a doctor over to take a look.”
“No!” Before Rong Shu could answer, Gu Manyin subconsciously shouted out.
The crowd looked towards her.
A hint of panic flashed across her face, knowing that her reaction just now was too loud and had made them suspicious, she hurriedly lowered her head and explained, “Sorry old madam, a mosquito was about to bite me just now, so I was chasing it away.”
“A mosquito?” Wang Shuqin looked up, “No, where are the mosquitoes?”
Gu Manyin’s expression almost cracked as she cursed in her heart.
This idiot.
She was here to tear her down, right?
“Alright, stop looking around, the soup is about to spill.” The old lady looked at Wang Shuqin who couldn’t even hold a soup steadily and was disgusted in her heart.
On the other hand, Rong Shu looked at Gu Manyin suspiciously for a few moments and lowered her eyes in contemplation.
Was Gu Manyin really chasing away mosquitoes and not stopping her from seeing a doctor?
As she thought about it, Rongshu decided to test it out and smiled at the old lady, “Grandma, there’s no need to see a doctor, there’s cold medicine at home, I can just take one at home.”
When Gu Manyin heard this, she was relieved.
She had originally thought that if Rong Shu really agreed to let the doctor come over, she would find a chance to sneak out, find the doctor first and make a deal with him.
But now she didn’t have to.
Rongshu had been watching Gu Manyin’s reaction out of the corner of her eye, and when she saw the way Gu Manyin put her heart down, her eyes narrowed.
Sure enough, Gu Manyin was really trying to stop her from seeing the doctor.
Why would Gu Manyin do that? Was it because she had some secret in her?
Chapter 114
Rongshu’s eyes flashed, determined to find a doctor to take a look when she went out later.
To see what was wrong with her body that made Gu Manyin so concerned.
“If you don’t want to see it, then don’t see it.” Seeing that Rong Shu was so insistent, the old lady’s intention to persuade her to see a doctor had to be put to rest.
Wang Shuqin snorted coldly, “Mom, I think she just doesn’t know any better.”
“You shut up!” The old lady scolded.
Wang Shuqin’s body trembled and she stopped talking at once.
Although the old lady was older, the aura on her body had never diminished.
For so many years, she had only dared to complain behind her back, and did not dare to really confront the Old Madam openly.
“By the way Shue, this is for you.” The Old Madam suddenly raised her hand and fished out a red rope from under her pillow.
And there was something else dangling from the red rope, a key.
“Grandmother, is this what you just said that you were going to give me?” Rongshu was curious and took the key.
Wang Shuqin and Gu Manyin had thought it was something, but when they saw that it was a grey, puffy key, they lost interest.
The old lady nodded, “Yes, this was given to me by your father six years ago, asking me to find a chance to give it to you, I should have given it to you last time but I didn’t think of it, now you’re here just in time to give it to you.”
Rongshu looked at the key in her hand, her face full of confusion, “Grandma, why didn’t dad just give me the key, but asked you to pa*s it on?”
Moreover, it was only then that she realised that papa had actually known her grandmother before.
As if she could see what was in her mind, the old lady smiled and said, “Actually, your grandfather and my old man used to be comrades in arms, so six years ago, when your father couldn’t find you, he gave me the key because I was the only one he could trust in the city, and after that, your father ……”
The words that followed were left unsaid by the old lady, and an emotional sigh was given.
Rongshu knew what she wanted to say was, after that, your father jumped off the building.
The day her father jumped from the building, she regretted why she had gone after her stepmother and the money they had swept away.
If she hadn’t chased him that day and stayed by his side, maybe he wouldn’t have had the chance to jump off the building.
Thinking of this, Rongshu’s eyes snapped into tears and fell on the key in her hand, her voice choked up, “Grandma, did dad say what this key was for?”
“Of course I did.” The old lady handed her a tissue, “Your father said that this is the key to the old house of the Rong family, and that there is something important to you in the old house, it seems to be a necklace, so that you must find it, because that necklace is about a great secret, as to what the secret is, your father didn’t say.”
“Yes, I know, thank you grandmother.” Rongshu sniffled and stopped her tears, barely squeezing out a smile in return.
The old lady patted the back of her hand, “It’s getting late, go back first, and come see grandmother next time.”
“Mhm.” Rongshu interrupted him, “Then, grandmother, I’ll leave first.”
After saying that, she picked up the bag she had on the side and walked towards the door, not even looking at Wang Shuqin and Gu Manyin.
Wang Shuqin sneered, “No manners.”
When Rongshu heard this, she paused in opening the door for a moment, then smiled coldly and continued to open the door and go out without a care.
Just as she was about to walk to the lift, she was suddenly called out, “Wait a minute.”
Rongshu stopped and turned back to look coldly at the woman opposite her, “Miss Gu, is there something wrong?”
“Let’s talk.” Gu Manyin said with a smile.
Rongshu raised her eyebrows, “Talk?”
“That’s right.”
Rongshu smiled, “With all due respect, I don’t think we have anything to talk about.”
“No, there’s a lot we can talk about.” Gu Mangyin’s eyes swept over Rong Shu’s abdomen without thinking, her voice soft.
A month or so ago, Meng Ke had caught a scene of Rong Shu and Jing Ting going into the same room together and not coming out for a long time, and she knew that it was impossible for nothing to happen when a lone man and a woman were in that situation, and just now Rong Shu had smelled the chicken soup and tried to vomit, so there was a high possibility that she suspected that Rong Shu was pregnant.
And as the pregnancy grew longer, the stronger the body reaction would be, and Rong Shu would definitely think she was sick and go to the hospital for a check-up. Maybe when Rong Shu knew she was pregnant, she would take the wild seed in her belly and look for Jing Ting to be responsible.
Thinking about it, Gu Manyin’s hands on either side of her could not help but clench up tightly.
In short, she absolutely could not let Rong Shu have the chance to do so.
Fu Jingting was a very responsible man, if Rong Shu was really pregnant, he might really remarry Rong Shu for the sake of the wild seed in her belly, then wouldn’t her years of hard work become a joke!
Gu Manyin’s face gradually twisted up, and her eyes were full of malice.
Rong Shu narrowed her eyes, her heart already knowing clearly that the other party was up to no good.
“Good, then let’s talk about it.” Rongshu lowered her eyes “I also want to know what you want to talk to me about.”
“Since you have agreed, then come with me.” Gu Manyin’s smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
Rongshu’s eyes darkened slightly, “Won’t you talk here?”
“People come and go here, it’s not convenient.”
“Alright, then you lead the way.” Rong Shu smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
Gu Manyin gave a cold snort in her heart.
Laugh.
See if you can still laugh later!
Gu Manyin hooked the corners of her lips and turned to walk towards the front.
Rongshu looked at her back, her face slowly returning to calm, pursed her red lips and took out her mobile phone from her bag, dialing Fu Jingting’s number.
Although she didn’t know what kind of stimulus Gu Manyin had received, why she was suddenly so eager to show her malice, and even took her to one place specifically, clearly wanting to get at her, since this was the case, then how could she not fight back.
She let Fu Jingting hear how vicious Gu Manyin really was. She didn’t believe that Fu Jingting could still hear it and not have a hard time with Gu Manyin, and perhaps even separate from her because of it.
The phone was quickly answered and Fu Jingting’s low, pleasant voice came through, “What is it?”
Rongshu looked at the screen of the call interface and did not answer, but quickened her pace to follow Gu Manyin.
Gu Manyin led her to the stairwell.
Rongshu put the phone behind her back and said, “Miss Gu, what exactly did you want to talk to me about when you brought me to the safe stairwell of the senior inpatient unit?”
Thinking that Rong Shu had accidentally pressed the phone and dialed the wrong number, Fu Jingting was about to hang up when his pupils snapped shut.
Mangyin was at Rongshu’s place?
Gu Manyin looped her arms and didn’t answer Rong Shu, instead she lifted her head and looked around, “I don’t think there’s any surveillance here, right?”
“What are you trying to do?” Rongshu pursed her red lips and looked at her warily.
Agreeing to want to know, there was also Fu Jingting.
Fu Jingting already understood that this call was not a mistake made by Rong Shu accidentally, but she had deliberately called him in order to let him hear her conversation with Mangyin, and had even told him the address of the conversation as well.
Thinking about this, Fu Jingting tightened his grip on the phone and instructed Zhang’s a*sistant who was driving, “Drive faster.”
“Yes.” Zhang’s a*sistant answered and accelerated the accelerator.
In the stairwell, Gu Manyin covered her lips and let out a laugh, then her face fell, looking at Rong Shu with a scowl, “Miss Rong, do you know how much I hate you? The two of us, we are born enemies, only one of us can live, so Rong Shu, you go to hell, okay?”
