Chapter 163
If it wasn’t so, he would have just dealt with it and wouldn’t have made this trip at all.
Rongshu didn’t answer his ‘I respect you, I guess,’ but frowned suspiciously with a good-looking brow, “You’ll handle it?”
“Yes,” Cheng Huai nodded.
Rongshu smiled, “It’s my business, right, I’m grateful to Cheng for helping me discover the truth and find out the evidence, but I’m so curious, why is Cheng handling it, it has nothing to do with you, doesn’t it?”
“Just to be clear, I’m not doing this for you, but for myself.” Cheng Huai looked as if he was afraid she would misunderstand him and held up a hand.
Rongshu gave him a blank look, “Tell me quickly, I want to know the reason.”
“Actually, it’s nothing, the matter of the Cheng family and the Gu family tearing their faces apart, as you know, this time our Cheng family lost to the Wang family and didn’t take the position of the main city.” Cheng Huai’s eyes narrowed dangerously for a moment and said.
Rongshu was stunned, “What, didn’t take it? Last time I heard Ah Qi say that the Cheng family had pulled in another sum of money in time and didn’t fall behind the Wang family, so how come they suddenly failed?”
“The problem still lies with the Gu family.” Cheng Huai tapped his finger on the table, “Our Cheng family and the Wang family found the last enterprise in Jiangcheng that was willing to invest at the same time, what we didn’t expect was that that enterprise didn’t know whether to choose the Cheng family or the Wang family on the surface, but ended up secretly injecting capital to the Wang family, so our Cheng family lost, and the Gu family is a distant relative of the chairman of that enterprise.”
“So this matter was instigated by the Gu family behind the scenes?” Rongshu frowned.
Cheng Huai lifted his chin, “That’s right, the Cheng family has been fighting for the position of Zhengcheng City, and was about to succeed, but was ruined by the Gu family, so the Cheng family absolutely could not let go of the Gu family, but after all, the Cheng family is a powerful family, it is not good to strike directly, that’s why I took over the incident of your falling horse, and used this incident as a breakthrough to deal with the Gu family little by little. ”
“So that’s how it is, I understand.” Rongshu nodded her head.
Cheng Huai moved closer to her, “So you agreed? Although I am handling this matter with selfishness, but I am also avenging you by doing so.”
“I know, but I don’t need you to help me take revenge, I’ll deal with the Gu family myself, don’t forget, the feud between San Sheng and Tiansheng, as well as the feud between Gu Manyin and me.” Rongshu reminded.
Cheng Huai was silent for two seconds, “Then how about this, let’s cooperate.”
“Cooperation?” There was a brilliant flash in Rongshu’s eyes.
Cheng Huai gave a hint, “Since we both want to deal with the Gu family, then we can cooperate, you don’t have any power or ability now, how can you take revenge? You’ll be able to get your revenge by waiting for Tiansheng to develop? How can you be sure that during the development of Tiansheng, Gu Yaotian will not make a move? Even if he won’t, if you develop Tiansheng, he will also develop Sansheng, and you still won’t be able to catch up with him, let alone take revenge.”
These words made Rong Shu unable to answer.
Yes, she was progressing, and Gu Yaotian would likewise not stand still.
So if she wanted to take revenge, she still had a long way to go, and it was simply impossible to do so on her own in a short time.
Seeing that Rong Shu was silent, Cheng Huai knew that his words had struck a chord in her heart, and after taking a sip of coffee, he said, “So you can only choose someone who also has a grudge against the Gu family to ally with, otherwise your revenge will be far away, and I am the best person to work with. heartwarming?”
In fact, with the power of the Cheng family, it would be easy to clean up the Gu family, in just one month it would be able to make the Gu family’s Sansheng Group go bankrupt, but the Cheng family could not do that.
First of all, the Gu family is not only a well-known real estate company in Hai Shi, but also in the whole country, with tens of thousands of employees, if they suddenly make San Sheng bankrupt, these employees will face unemployment, and the top will also investigate and find out that the Cheng family did it, and the Cheng family will also suffer, which is not worth the loss for the Cheng family.
The best way is to take the path of underhanded operation. The Cheng family can take the breakthrough of the Gu family breaking the law and use it as a breakthrough to clean up the Gu family little by little, although the process is a bit slower, but it is safe.
By the time the Gu family realizes they are being dealt with, the Gu family’s Sangsheng will already be in someone else’s hands, and they won’t go bankrupt, their employees won’t lose their jobs, and the top won’t investigate, while the Gu family still loses everything, how good.
What Cheng Huai could think of, Rong Shu could naturally think of as well.
She sighed, “It seems that it’s impossible not to cooperate with you.”
Cheng Huai smiled and extended his hand, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer, then the matter of your fallen horse, I’ll leave it to me, don’t do anything, still treat it as an accident, don’t make any noise, wait until a year later when the Gu family has problems, I’ll inform you to step in and give the Gu family the final blow.”
Rongshu lowered her eyes and looked at his hand, not shaking it up, “If you do this, aren’t you afraid that Fu will fall out with you, after all, the Gu family is the family of the person he loves the most.”
“Favourite person?” Cheng Huai raised his eyebrows and suddenly smiled meaningfully, “Do you really think Jing Ting loves Gu Manyin?”
“What do you mean?” Rongshu was slightly surprised.
Cheng Huai smiled, “How about we make a bet.”
“A bet?” Rongshu pursed her lips.
Cheng Huai nodded, “That’s right, let’s block whether Jingting loves Gu Manyin or not, I bet he doesn’t.”
“Have you taken the wrong medicine?” The first thing you can do is to take a look at him with a strange look, “Fu Jingting doesn’t love Gu Manyin, you can even say that.”
“Who took the wrong medicine, I’m serious, I’ll block him from loving Gu Manyin, as for how to prove it, you’ll know when you see if Jingting will cut me off in a year’s time.” Cheng Huai smiled with confidence.
Rongshu skimmed her lips, then smiled too, “Fine, since you’re so eager to lose, Mr. Cheng, I’ll bet with you, what’s the bet?”
Lose?
A hint of amus*ment flashed in Cheng Huai’s eyes.
He didn’t think he would lose.
“I haven’t thought of a bet yet, let’s wait until the result is revealed in a year’s time.” Cheng Huai said after thinking about it.
Rongshu nodded, “Alright.”
After saying that, she then extended her hand and took his hand.
Cheng Huai’s hands were large, plus he had dark skin and his hands were also dark.
And Rong Shu’s hands were small and her skin was white.
So much so that when their hands were held together, they formed a very stark skin tone difference.
Cheng Huai felt the tiny hand in his hand and a subtle fluttering flashed through his heart.
He subconsciously squeezed that little hand, it was soft and warm, just like having no bones, and it felt so good that he became a little addicted to it, and couldn’t help but squeeze it twice more.
The corners of Rongshu’s mouth twitched as she watched his movements, “Mr. Cheng, is my hand good for squeezing?”
Cheng Huai was stunned, then realized what he had done, the tips of his ears turned red, he hurriedly let go of her hand and put his hand behind his back, “Ahem, that what, sorry, I just feel that Mr. Rong’s hand is better to squeeze, so ……”
Rong Shu cried and laughed.
It’s better to squeeze, so it’s like squeezing a toy, I didn’t expect him to be so childish.
“It’s okay, this evidence, Mr. Cheng, you can take it back.” Rong Shu waved her hand, indicating that she didn’t care, then picked up the file bag on the table and handed it back to Cheng Huai.
Since the matter had been handed over to him, then this, it was useless for her to take it.
Cheng Huai took it, “Okay, next the Cheng family will slowly infiltrate the Gu family, I will also keep you informed about the progress, of course, if there is anything you need to help with, you have to help too.”
“I will.” Rongshu answered.
After all, they were partners, so of course she wouldn’t refuse.
“Alright then, I’ll be off then.” Cheng Huai said.
Rong Shu sent him out of the office.
Cheng Huai walked towards the lift, and on the way, he couldn’t help but have the image of squeezing and playing with Rong Shu’s hand just now ringing in his mind again, that soft, soft feeling actually made him miss it a little.
Chapter 164
He even couldn’t help but lift his hand and put it under his nose to smell a faint fragrance.
Cheng Huai knew that it was the scent of Rong Shu’s perfume that had lingered on his hand when he shook hands with her.
The fragrance was fresh and elegant, just like Rong Shu’s own aura, and he couldn’t help but want to smell it a few more times.
And Cheng Huai did so, his head slightly lowered as he sniffed the fragrance on his hand, while his mind conjured up a scene of himself hugging Rong Shu, burying his head in the nook of her neck and sniffing the perfume on her body.
For a moment, the tips of Cheng Huai’s ears grew redder and redder, and his heart beat much faster.
Just then, the lift in front of him dinged open.
Lu Qi came out of it carrying a thermos bucket, not expecting someone in front of him and almost bumping into him.
Luckily, Lu Qi finally stopped in time, which prevented that kind of situation from happening.
“Why is it you?” Lu Qi saw that the person in front of him was Cheng Huai and asked in confusion, “Why are you here?”
The loving picture in Cheng Huai’s head was broken, and his face was already a little bad.
He then thought of Lu Qi and Rong Shu’s relationship and became even worse. He hummed and didn’t answer, directly crossing Lu Qi into the lift.
Lu Qi tilted his head, another row of question marks popped up on top of his head, “What’s the situation?”
He didn’t offend Cheng Huai, right?
Why was Cheng Huai looking at him like he was an enemy?
“Nuts!” Lu Qi couldn’t figure it out, rolled his eyes and muttered before walking towards Rong Shu’s office.
“Baby.” Lu Qi pushed the door in.
When she heard his voice, she looked up, “Why are you here? Are you done with your company’s business?”
Ever since Tian Sheng had gotten on track, Lu Qi had been coming over here less often.
After all, his own company, too, needed him to go back and sit down.
“Nothing much today, I came to bring you something, my mother made braised pork ribs, knowing that you love them, she asked me to bring some over.” Lu Qi lifted the thermos bucket in his hand.
Rongshu’s eyes lit up, “Braised pork ribs, it’s been a long time since I’ve had them, thank you so much auntie.”
“Try it quickly, it will get cold later.” Lu Qi put the bucket on her desk and opened it.
Just after opening it, a strong fragrance filled the air.
When Rongshu smelled the smell, her face froze with a smile, then went white with a speed visible to the naked eye, followed by her covering her mouth, pushing her chair away and standing up, running towards the bathroom.
“What’s going on?” Lu Qi was dumbfounded by this action of hers, and only reacted when he heard her vomit, and hurriedly put down the plate in his hand and rushed to the washroom.
Just as he reached the door of the washroom, Lu Qi saw the image of Rong Shu propped up on the washstand, bending over and throwing up in a faint.
“Baby, what’s wrong with you?” Lu Qi’s brow was furrowed and his face was full of worry.
Rongshu adjusted her breathing, closed her eyes slightly and leaned against the wall beside the sink before saying weakly, “I’m fine.”
“You’re still fine, you’ve thrown up, look at your white face, no, I’ll call a doctor.” Lu Qi took out his mobile phone and was about to call.
Rongshu opened her eyes and reached out to squash his phone down, “Ah Qi, no, I’m not sick.”
“Not sick?” Lu Qi looked at her with a confused look, “Then this is ……”
Rongshu sighed, “Now that it’s come to this, I won’t hide it from you, you’ll have to know sooner or later anyway, I’m pregnant.”
“Oh, pregnant ah, I thought ……” The words came out here, Lu Qi suddenly reacted wrongly, his eyes widened and his voice rose, “What, you are pregnant?”
The actual fact is that you’ll be able to get a lot more than just a few of these.
Lu Qi’s whole body was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to find his voice, asking hoarsely, “How long has it been?”
“Almost two months now.” Rong Shu lowered her eyes and said back.
Two months ……
Isn’t that just the date of the divorce from Fu Jingting.
Lu Qi’s throat slid a little, his tone a little sour, “It’s Fu Jingting’s, right?”
“Let’s go out and talk about it.” Rongshu didn’t answer for the moment.
Lu nodded his head and helped her out.
Lu Qi helped Rong Shu to the sofa in the lounge area and sat her down, then poured her another gla*s of water, “Drink some water, you just threw up, your stomach must be very uncomfortable, some water will make you feel much better.”
“Thanks.” Rongshu smiled a little, took the gla*s of water and sipped it before answering his earlier question, “It’s not Fu Jingting’s.”
It was ridiculous to say, she had been married to Fu Jingting for six years and he had never touched her, apart from not loving her, or to keep her body for Gu Manyin.
So how could she possibly be pregnant with Fu Jingting’s child.
“What?” Lu Qi was dumbfounded again, his mouth opened several times before he asked with difficulty, “If it’s not Fu Jingting’s, then whose is it?”
If it was Fu Jingting’s, he could accept it even though it was hard, after all, she and Fu Jingting had been married before, and it was normal for her to be pregnant with Fu Jingting’s child.
But now that she was telling him that it was not Fu Jingting’s, he was uncomfortable in his heart and was upset with the man who had made her pregnant with the child.
“I don’t know who he is either, I don’t even know his name, I’ve even forgotten what he looks like.” Rongshu rubbed her stomach and said with a bitter smile “Because I was so confused and scared after what happened, I just took one look at the man and left, not even remembering to ask his name.”
Although she asked for his name after she had added him as a friend, he wasn’t going to tell her.
So much so that, to this day, she still didn’t know that person’s true identity.
Lu Qi took her hand in his and asked urgently, “Baby, you wouldn’t have been bullied, would you?”
Not knowing who the child’s father was, he could not think of anything else but being bullied.
However, Rong Shu shook her head, “Not bullied, but I got drunk and confused and had sex with a man, on the night of your birthday.”
Lu Qi remembered, “So the mark I saw on your neck the next day wasn’t what you said at the time ……”
“I’m sorry A Qi, I lied to you.” Rongshu said apologetically.
She had thought that night’s was, what happened happened, and as long as she didn’t say anything, no one would know.
But what she hadn’t expected was that she was actually pregnant, so naturally what had happened in the first place couldn’t be hidden.
Lu Qi clenched his fist and pounded it on the coffee table.
Rongshu was startled, “Ah Qi, what are you doing?”
“I’m angry at myself for not being there for you in the first place, if I had been, you wouldn’t have been ……” Lu Qi lowered his head in remorse, his voice choked up.
Rongshu grabbed his hand and checked to see if it was injured.
After seeing that it wasn’t hurt, she was relieved, “Well, I don’t blame you, I drank too much myself, that’s why it happened like that.”
“Baby, did you check on the man afterwards? What if that man’s appearance wasn’t an accident?” Lu Qi asked.
After all, on his birthday, Gu Manyin and the others were also at the clubhouse.
What if that man, was arranged by Gu Manyin, that was what he was most worried about now.
Rongshu’s heart also trembled for a moment, then shook her head, “I had Cheng Huai check, there is no problem, and that man, is also Cheng Huai’s friend, I also have his close friend, the method of acquiring Wang General Yu Tu before, as well as the method of using that piece of land in Fu Jing Ting were all thought up by him.”
“Oh?” Lu Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise, “So it was him.”
Rongshu gave a hollow sound, “That’s right, so that night was really just an accident.”
“Hmph, even if it was an accident, but it’s still a fact that he bullied you, no, I have to go find Cheng Huai and ask who that man is, I have to find him out and clean him up.” Lu Qi walked towards the door in a rage, and Rongshu couldn’t even stop her.
