Chapter 161
“No really?” The old lady asked with a wry smile.
Fu Jingting’s voice was cold and hard, “Of course! I’ve said before that I won’t regret it, not before, and not after.”
“Well, I see.” The old lady nodded and stopped talking.
Not before, not after, not after really?
The old lady smiled.
Hopefully, in the future, he wouldn’t have a sore face.
“By the way, the conversation between Shue and us today, I hope you won’t tell anyone, especially tell that Gu Manyin and the Gu family, do you understand?” The old lady looked at Fu Jingting warningly, with the implication that if you tell anyone, it won’t be over.
Fu Jingting lifted his chin, “I know, I won’t say anything, I promised Rong Shu that I wouldn’t help the Gu family, so naturally I won’t say this to the Gu family again.”
“That’s good, then you too ……” Before the words were finished, the old lady suddenly saw the hawthorn on the bed and slapped the covers, “Shushu forgot about the hawthorn.”
Fu Jingting’s eyes flashed shrewdly.
In fact, he had known from the very beginning that Rong Shu had forgotten to take away the hawthorn, but had not reminded her.
Hawthorn had the effect of contractions, and she couldn’t eat it.
“Quickly, you should send it to Shushu, she should have just left the hospital at this moment.” The old lady shoved a basket of hawthorn into Fu Jingting’s arms, urging him to hurry and send it to Rong Shu.
Fu Jingting agreed, but as soon as he left the ward, he gave the hawthorn to the medical staff who were pa*sing by.
At that moment, outside the hospital, Rong Shu was still waiting for a car.
Suddenly, a strong aroma of braised pork came out from the Sichuan restaurant across the road.
When people asked, they all shouted that they wanted to eat it.
When Rongshu smelt it, her face changed and a wave of nausea came straight up.
She hastily covered her mouth, walked to the side of the flower bed and leaned over to vomit.
However, nothing came out, only a few mouthfuls of sour water.
She knew that this was a pregnancy reaction, a stressful urge to vomit when smelling something too greasy, or too strong.
“Vomit!” Not long after she had gotten better, that feeling came back.
Rongshu bent down again and vomited, her face turning white and sweat seeping out of the corners of her forehead, showing how uncomfortable it was.
Fu Jingting came out and saw this scene, his face tightened as he went to the supermarket next to him and bought a bottle of warmed water, then walked behind her, “Is everything alright?”
He hurriedly unscrewed the cap of the bottle and handed her the water.
Rongshu hadn’t wanted it, but felt the sour taste in her mouth and accepted it anyway.
She rinsed her mouth twice first and waited until the sour taste in her mouth was gone before she started drinking the water.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, she was finally feeling much better, the churning in her stomach gradually calmed down, and her whole body was relieved.
“I’m fine, thanks for the water Mr. Fu, how much is it, I’ll transfer it to you.” Rongshu said, about to pull out her mobile phone.
Fu Jingting’s face darkened, “It’s just a bottle of water, it’s unnecessary.”
“Of course it’s necessary, I can’t accept someone’s kindness for nothing.” Seeing that he wouldn’t take his phone, Rongshu directly opened her money clip and took out the cash.
“This is the money for the water and the bus fare on the way here.” Rongshu shoved the largest denomination into Fu Jingting’s hand.
Fu Jingting’s cold air was all around him, “Rong Shu, are you so desperate to get rid of me?”
The first time I saw the film, I was able to see it. We’re an ex-couple to put it nicely, but to put it bluntly, we’re two people who have nothing to do with each other. Since we have nothing to do with each other, why don’t we just get rid of it?
“……” Fu Jingting clenched his fists and was suddenly speechless.
Yes, they were two strangers who had nothing to do with each other.
It was only right for her to do so, but he just felt so upset.
“Alright Mr. Fu, I’ll go first.” Not caring what he was thinking, Rongshu tightened the cap on the bottle and crossed over to him and walked forward, wanting to return to where she had been earlier to continue her taxi ride.
However, she had just taken two steps when a wave of dizziness hit her and her body swayed.
Fu Jingting took a stride forward and pulled her back before she fell, “What’s wrong with you?”
He wrinkled his brow, his eyes unhesitatingly tense.
Rongshu saw it and was stunned for a moment, thinking she had misread it.
However, she blinked twice before looking again and was surprised to find that the tension was still there.
He was actually nervous about her?
Was he just crazy, or was the world wrong?
“I’m fine.” Rongshu shook her head and pulled her arm out.
Fu Jingting looked at her pale face, “You were just about to faint, and you still call yourself fine?”
“I’m really fine, it’s just low blood sugar.” Rongshu said indifferently.
When she was last checked out for pregnancy, the doctor had said that she had some low blood sugar and was prone to dizziness.
This was something that the vast majority of pregnant women had, what with nothing unusual about it.
“Really?” Fu Jingting was still a little worried.
Rongshu gave a muffled sound, “Really.”
“What do I need to pay attention to with low blood sugar?” Fu Jingting asked again.
Rong Shu sneered, “Mr. Fu, I’m not Miss Gu, so I’m afraid it’s not very nice of you to be so concerned about me, is it?”
Fu Jingting’s thin lips pursed, “I just don’t want my grandmother to be upset, if anything happens to you, she will be worried.”
Hearing these words, Rong Shu put away the expression on her face and sighed, “Alright, there’s actually no need to pay attention to anything, just replenish your blood sugar at all times.”
“How do you replenish it?” Fu Jingting looked at her.
Rongshu tilted her head, her small palm-sized face with a hint of uncertainty, “Probably eating sugar?”
Fu Jingting’s thin lips curled slightly, “I thought you knew.”
“I’m not a doctor, how could I possibly know, forget it, what’s the point of talking to you about this, I’m leaving.” Rongshu waved her hand and was about to leave again.
Before she could even take a step, she was picked up by Fu Jingting in a horizontal hug.
After she reacted, her face turned red and she struggled, “Fu Jingting, what are you doing?
Fu Jingting hugged her tightly and walked towards the car, “I’ll send you back.”
“Who needs you to send them, I’ll take a taxi myself, let go of me now.” Rongshu’s legs kept stomping in the air, both arms, too, were pushing hard against the man’s chest.
The man nearly lost his hold, his eyebrows wrinkled, “If you move around you’ll fall, you shouldn’t want to fall either, do you know the consequences of falling?”
He looked down at her.
When she met Fu Jingting’s deep, black eyes, Rong Shu subconsciously quieted down and spoke in a daze, “What do you mean, do you know ……”
“Falling down, you risk hitting your head and injuring it, tomorrow is the date of the final decision on the cooperation seat, do you want to miss it because of injury?” Fu Jingting interrupted her.
Rongshu skimmed her mouth.
What? So he was saying she would get hurt?
She thought he knew about her pregnancy, startling him, after all, Lu Qi didn’t even know about it, it would be too suspicious if he did.
“Then if you let go of me, won’t you fall?” Rongshu said with a cold face.
Fu Jingting didn’t say anything back.
He just knew she wouldn’t get into the car obediently, that’s why he used this way.
How could he put her down, and after he did, she would definitely want to go again.
Soon, Fu Jingting had already carried Rong Shu to the car.
Fu Jingting put her down and took out the car keys, ready to unlock it.
Rongshu took advantage of this time and turned around to leave.
Fu Jingting’s eyes narrowed as he grabbed her arm and yanked it back.
“Ah!” Rongshu cried out in shock, and then her back was pressed against the car door.
Fu Jingting propped his hands on either side of her neck, his eyes dark as he looked at her, “Still there?”
Rongshu laughed in exasperation and stared at him with wide eyes, “Fu Jingting, what the hell do you want?”
“To send you back!” Fu Jingting spoke slowly.
Rongshu only felt angry, “I said, I’ll take a taxi myself, I don’t want you to drive me, do you not understand human words?”
Fu Jingting lowered his eyes, “I’m just following my grandmother’s words, I’m just giving you a ride, get in.”
He lowered his hand, pressed the car key and unlocked the door.
Chapter 162
Rongshu wrinkled her eyebrows, “Grandma asked you to send me?”
Fu Jingting’s eyes flickered slightly, “Mm.”
“But grandmother said in the ward that she wanted you to give me a lift, and I refused, and she didn’t ask again, so how could she possibly let you out again now?” Rongshu looked at him critically.
Fu Jingting pulled open the car door, “No, it was my grandmother who said it was getting dark and she didn’t feel comfortable with you leaving alone, so she decided to let me chase you out to see you off.
Rongshu was silent and finally sighed, “I know.”
With those words, she turned around and bent down to get into the car.
Seeing this, Fu Jingting’s brows relaxed in a faintly invisible manner.
It seemed that she had believed it.
Afterwards, Fu Jingting closed the door of the back seat, walked around the front of the car and got into the pa*senger seat, “Back to Repulse Bay?”
Rongshu looked out the window and gave a faint hmph in her attitude.
Fu Jingting pursed his lips and started the car.
On the way, Rong Shu didn’t say a word to him, because she didn’t want to, and didn’t say anything.
Fu Jingting did look at her a few times through the rear view mirror, his expression hidden in the shadows of the car, unreadable.
The quiet Rongshu made him very uncomfortable.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t sat in a car with Rongshu in the previous six years.
At that time, because she was still in love with him, Rongshu was always very active in finding topics to talk to him in the car, while he usually listened and didn’t pick up the conversation, and sometimes even felt that she talked too much and was too annoying and told her to shut up.
Now that she has really shut up and won’t talk to him anymore, he is upset again.
The first time I saw her, I didn’t know what kind of mentality she was in, but she took the initiative to say, “Are you and Lu Qi planning to get married?”
“Hmm?” Rongshu froze for a moment, obviously surprised that he was suddenly asking such a question.
“I don’t know.” Rongshu shook her head in reply.
A light flashed across Fu Jingting’s eyes, and before he could gather up the little happiness in his heart, he heard Rong Shu say, “Maybe in the future, after all, he treats me very well, and Uncle Lu and Auntie Lu also treat me very well, so if Ah Qi and I get married, we will definitely be very happy.”
Fu Jingting tightened his grip on the steering wheel and his face did not look too good.
He could hear that she was being sarcastic about him, about the Fu family.
Yet he had to admit that Lu Qi did treat her well, and that she would definitely be better off when she married Lu Qi than when she was with him.
Although this was the truth, Fu Jingting just felt uncomfortable and annoyed.
He tugged at his tie, his voice cold and hard, “Well, then I wish you what you always want.”
“Thank you Mr. Fu, I also wish Mr. Fu and Miss Gu a hundred years of good fortune and longevity.” Rongshu said with a smile.
Fu Jingting pursed his thin lips and didn’t answer anymore.
A hundred years of good fortune and a long life?
Inexplicably, he did not like such a blessing, not that there was anything wrong with the words of the blessing, but he did not like her blessing him and Mangyin.
On the way, the two of them were silent again, the atmosphere even more depressing than earlier.
Rongshu could feel that the man driving was in a bad mood, but she didn’t know why he was in a bad mood, nor did she want to know, so she simply put on her headphones and listened to music.
Fu Jingting noticed, and the air pressure around him dropped even lower.
She had upset him, and she was still listening to music without a care in the world.
It really P*ssed him off.
It didn’t take long for Repulse Bay to arrive.
Fu Jingting parked the car and Rongshu opened the door and went down.
Standing at the curb, she gave a dazed ah, then oh again opened her money clip, drew out a red ticket and knocked on the car window.
The backseat window pill down, Fu Jingting in the driver’s seat turned his head and looked at her through the backseat window, “What else?”
He held a hint of imperceptible anticipation in his tone.
“Nothing much, I just forgot to pay the fare.” Rongshu gave a detached smile, then threw the money into the car window and lifted her feet towards the building.
Fu Jingting looked at her back and then at the money in the back seat, his thin lips pursed out a few moments of coldness.
The following day, Rong Shu arrived at the office.
Tong Xi then came in, “Mr. Rong, Mr. Cheng is here and wants to see you.”
“Cheng Huai?” Rong Shu’s movement of putting her bag down paused.
Secretary Tong nodded, “Yes.”
“What’s he doing here?” Rongshu pulled out her chair and sat down.
Secretary Tong replied, “This Mr. Cheng didn’t say, but Mr. Cheng said that he had something to tell you.”
“I got it, you let him in.” Rongshu opened her computer and returned.
Cheng Huai never sought her out when he had nothing to do.
It looked like what he had to say was very important.
Soon, Cheng Huai came in, holding a file bag in his hand, and instead of his usual hangdog look, he had a serious face, making Rong Shu a little uncomfortable.
“Sit.” General Manager Rong pointed to the chair opposite, then looked at Secretary Tong again, “Pour a cup of coffee for General Manager Cheng.”
“Yes.” Tong Xi answered and turned to go out.
The only two people left in the office were Rong Shu and Cheng Huai.
Rongshu looked at him, “You said you had something to tell me, what was it?”
Cheng Huai handed over the file, “You almost fell off the horse last time, remember?”
Rongshu nodded, “Of course.”
She was scared out of her mind, how could she possibly forget.
“What you’re going to say is related to my almost falling off a horse?” Rongshu asked.
Cheng Huai gave a hint, “Actually, you falling off the horse was not an accident.”
“What?” Rongshu froze for a moment, and the hand that was opening the document bag stopped, “You’re saying it wasn’t an accident?”
“That’s right, it was man-made.” Cheng Huai replied with a serious expression.
“How could it be, Ah Qi told me it was an accident, and you were present when the investigation was going on.” Rongshu said with a frown.
Cheng Huai leaned back, “Yes, when we investigated at the time, it did turn out to be an accident, but the next day when I went out to walk the horses ……”
He told the story of how he found the musk at that time.
After listening, Rongshu’s palms clenched, “So that’s how it is.”
Directly remote manipulating the horse to go crazy and using it to drop her, this kind of harmful method, indeed, can make people think that it was an accident and will not a*sociate it with Gu Manyin, even if they thought of it, there is no evidence to prove that it was Gu Manyin ah, because Gu Manyin never went to the stable from the beginning to the end, nor did she touch her horse.
It was exactly the same as when Gu Manyin had used the viper to harm her, so it seemed that the beating that night hadn’t been enough!
But it didn’t matter, she would settle all the scores for what Gu Manyin had done to her, with the Gu family!
“What’s in here?” Rongshu took a deep breath, suppressing the burst of anger in her heart, and asked.
Cheng Huai looked at her, “I thought you’d be angry when you found out about this.”
“Of course I’m angry, but it’s useless to be angry, instead of being angry now, it’s better to write this account down and settle it together later.” Rongshu pursed her lips and said.
Cheng Huai smiled, “You are thinking ahead, this is a fingerprint identification, the fingerprint on the gla*s bottle, it is Gu Manyin’s.”
The fingerprints on the gla*s bottle are Gu Manyin’s.” Rong Shu hurriedly pulled out the identification book inside and looked at it carefully, after reading it, her eyes narrowed, “This is evidence that Gu Manyin deliberately caused me to fall off a horse. Say it, what is your purpose in helping me check this?”
She didn’t believe that Cheng Huai was looking into this, but simply didn’t want her friend to be hurt.
After all, they weren’t exactly good friends.
Cheng Huai clapped his hands and laughed, “Sure enough, it’s easy to talk to smart people, yes, I do have a purpose, but it’s not an excessive one.”
“Tell me about it.” Rongshu put down the appraisal book and looped her arms up to look at him.
Cheng Huai’s expression returned to seriousness, “I want you to leave this matter to me, after all, you are the victim, that’s why I came over here specifically to say these greetings to you, how’s that, I respect you, right?”
