Chapter 19
As soon as Lu Qi’s words fell, the sound of guests sucking in cold air rose and fell, their eyes turning on Gu Manyin and then on Rong Shu in shock.
The video has been confirmed by experts to be true, if Lu Qi’s words are also true ……
Equally shocked, was Fu Jingting.
He looked at the woman standing in front of him and his eyes sank for a moment before asking “Rong Shu, why didn’t you say anything?”
“Would you believe me if I told you?” Rongshu asked rhetorically, with a tone of mockery, “Mr. Fu, we’ve been married for six years, and we can count on one hand the number of conversations we have every day.
She used to go to the hospital every day to Gu Manyin because she knew how her marriage with Fu Jingting came about, knew who Fu Jingting had in his heart, and wanted to make Fu Jingting see more of himself by indirectly taking care of Gu Manyin.
However, in the past six years, she has only received indifference from Fu Jingting.
When he heard this, Fu Jingting re-examined the black-skirted, red-lipped Rongshu, who was a bit cold in her demeanour, and found that she was a different person from the virtuous woman who had been waiting for him to come home.
He also remembered that when they were not divorced, he and Rong Shu rarely talked, never asking her what she did or what friends she had.
Never got to know her, it seemed. ……
The two of them only had a short conversation, and Fu Jingting didn’t say anything behind them, but Gu Manyin was right beside Fu Jingting, and she could keenly detect that the man had softened towards Rong Shu, and seemed to want to defend her.
Gu Manyin quickly swept her gaze over the guests, and with a fierce clench of her teeth, she stepped forward and gave a deep bow to Rong Shu.
“Sister Rong Shu, I didn’t expect that you would keep going to the hospital to replenish my blood and treat me so well these past few years ……” Gu Manyin choked, her eyes gradually reddened, and bowed to Rong Shu again, “I’m sorry ……”
When she looked up, she threw a wink at the crowd before continuing to apologize to Rong Shu, “I’m sorry about the video too, it’s because my father loves me too much and made a mistake in the investigation that he thought you were the one who hit me, Sister Rong Shu.”
“Miss Gu, I am still two months younger than you.” Rongshu was ungrateful for her apology and swept a glance at Fu Jingting without moving a muscle.
It turned out that the video had been put out by Gu’s father, and she had thought that it was Fu Jingting who had done the vicious deed to herself.
Gu Manyin only bowed her head and pursed her pale red lips.
Soon, Gu Manyin saw the jewellery box that the maid brought to her, took it and handed it to Rong Shu, “Miss Rong ……, thank you for taking care of me these past few years, this is the gift that dad gave me before, I’m giving it to you now as a thank you to you.”
After the jewellery box was opened, the full diamond crown on the black velvet became more and more eye-catching under the light.
“This, isn’t this the crown that Princess Lillet wore on her wedding day?”
“Mr Gu really dotes on his daughter!”
Among the guests, some jewellery lovers had already recognised the crown and exclaimed that it was not as luxurious as the Heart of Blue, saying that Mr Gu loved his daughter.
Gu Yaotian’s eyes changed when he saw the crown.
But he also knew the purpose of his daughter giving this jewel to Rong Shu, went up to her, cold face, and said to Rong Shu in a fairly good tone, “The matter of the video, it was me who wronged Miss Rong, and thank you Miss Rong for taking care of my daughter, this jewel, you can take it!”
Rong Shu slightly forked her legs and stood there, only sweeping her eyes at the crown full of diamonds, without any intention of taking it from Gu Manyin’s hand.
When Gu Manyin saw that she didn’t take it, she spoke up, “This crown was designed by Van Cleef & Arpels’ designer when Princess Lilit got married, many years ago, my father got it at Sotheby’s for sixty million ……”
As she spoke, her voice turned lower, “It is also one of my favourite pieces of jewellery and I wanted to thank you Miss Rong so much that I took it out.”
The guests all heard the aggression in Gu Manyin’s words, and seeing that Rong Shu was hesitant to accept the jewel and had a condescending posture, they crusaded against her.
“Rong Shu, don’t go so far, Miss Gu has already apologised.”
“Yes, people are just protective of their daughters, that’s why they did something confusing, didn’t they also apologize to you?”
“Miss Gu came to thank you with her treasured jewellery and you didn’t take it, what more do you want?”
“……”
“Jingting.” Gu Manyin looked back at Fu Jingting and said in a low voice, “I really didn’t know about Miss Rong’s previous visit to the hospital to replenish my blood, you believe me, help me persuade Miss Rong to accept my thank you gift.”
Fu Jingting looked at her thin body, with pale lips, vaguely some heartache.
“Rong Shu, Mangyin and Mr. Gu have both apologized to you.” Fu Jingting spoke in a deep voice, “The thank you gift Mangyin gave you is also worth a lot of money, so you can take it.”
Rongshu knew that even if she was innocent, Fu Jingting would still be on Gu Manyin’s side.
But when she heard these words from him, the hand on her arm tightened fiercely, and her heart felt like it was being pierced by needles, hurting densely.
It was ridiculous that she had loved such a man for eight years!
Lu Qi, who was originally watching the good show from the side, saw Fu Jingting bullying Rong Shu like this and became directly angry, trying to rush towards Fu Jingting, “Fu Jingting, you f*cking ……”
“Lu Qi.” Rongshu reached out to stop Lu Qi.
After a long night, she was a bit tired and was just about to tell Lu Qi that we should go when her light swept past Gu Manyin’s face and caught the smug smile at the corner of her mouth.
Yes, today she had come to take revenge, not to save face for them.
The words that were on her lips were swallowed back, and Rong Shu pressed Lu Qi’s hand, her eyebrows slightly cold, “I’ll take care of this.”
She turned on her high heels and turned back to face Gu Manyin.
Gu Manyin was caught off guard by this action of Rong Shu, the smile on her lips was put away in a panic, and she handed the jewellery box over again.
“Miss Gu, these past few years I went to the hospital and replenished a lot of blood for you, causing my body to be very deficient now.” Rong Shu said as she brushed her finger over the full diamond crown, “Using this crown to thank me is not quite enough, is it?”
Rongshu looked at Fu Jingting and asked with a smile, “What do you think, Mr. Fu?”
Fu Jingting’s gaze swept over her bright face and asked in a deep voice, “What else do you want?”
“I want what’s in Mr. Fu’s hand – the Heart of Zhan Blue.” Rongshu pointed to the jewellery box the man was holding, not at all like she was joking.
“No.” Gu Manyin interrupted Rong Shu and said in a low, yet aggrieved manner, “Miss Rong, I know you’re not happy with me because of the video, I can bring the jewellery in my collection for you to pick, but not the Heart of Zhan Blue, this is the necklace Jing Ting is going to propose to me ……”
The guests were also indignant and dissatisfied, “That’s right, Rong Shu you are too much, Miss Gu gave you an expensive crown and you don’t want it, you want the Heart of Zhan Blue!”
“Is it that you are not happy that Mr. Fu divorced you and this will be a deliberate revenge against Mr. Fu?”
Rongshu turned a deaf ear to those abusive words and looked at Fu Jingting, “Mr. Fu, don’t you love Miss Gu very much? It was also Miss Gu herself who wanted to thank me, so why are you refusing to give me a thank you gift?”
Chapter 20
“Miss Rong, don’t go too far.” Gu Manyin was furious at being messed up but had to hold back, “My father has apologised to you for the video, why do you still refuse to stop, you want to grab the proposal necklace my boyfriend gave me?”
Rong Shu raised an eyebrow and laughed, “I divorced Mr. Fu just a few days ago and you’re with him, if you didn’t know, you’d think you’ve always coveted him and couldn’t wait to become Mrs. Fu!”
“What are you talking about, it’s obviously you ……”
“And Miss Gu, I didn’t mean to rob.” Before Gu Manyin could say a few words, she was interrupted by Rong Shu again, “It was you who had to give me the thank you gift, and I just had my eye on this Heart of Zhanlan.”
“……” Gu Manyin was choked speechless, biting her lips and standing there, her face growing paler and paler, like a small white flower about to fade.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing.
“Mr. Fu, you should say something, don’t be silent.” Lu Qi shouted at Fu Jingting, “Is Mr. Fu not a man of his word?”
Fu Jingting’s eyes sank.
After a moment of silence, he handed the jewellery box containing the Heart of Zhan Blue to Rong Shu.
Gu Manyin took a look and became anxious, tugging at his sleeve, “Jingting, this is the necklace you are going to propose to me, don’t ……”
“Today is a banquet specially held by uncle for your recovery and discharge, it’s not good for the atmosphere to be ruined.” Fu Jingting placated her in a deep voice, “A necklace is just a necklace, later I will ask a*sistant Zhang to find a better one and bring it to you to propose.”
The guests were envious, “Miss Gu is lucky, even the most rare jewellery, Mr. Fu has the means to buy it for you!”
After complimenting Gu Manyin, they went on to give Rong Shu a sarcastic beating.
Gu Manyin’s face only improved when she saw Fu Jingting say this, and she nodded obediently, “I’ll do whatever you say.”
Listening to their conversation, Rong Shu only felt the irony of it.
She had been married to Fu Jingting for six years, but he hadn’t even bought a single piece of clothing for her, not to mention jewellery, and she had even bought the ring she had worn when she got married.
The ring she had bought when they got married was still hers. Now that she saw how he treated Gu Manyin, she felt that she was living like a joke.
Rongshu suppressed the heartache and sadness in her heart and took the jewellery box, the corners of her mouth showed a bright smile, “Such a rare jewellery, Mr. Fu said to give it, it seems that Mr. Fu really pampered Miss Gu, a little aggravation she can not suffer.”
The woman’s strange words made Fu Jingting uncomfortable to listen to, and said lightly, “The Heart of Zhan Blue is given to you, and Mr. Gu has also apologized to you, Rongshu, don’t pursue the matter of the video.”
“Okay!” Rongshu agreed readily.
She picked up a gla*s of red wine from the table and nodded the gla*s towards Fu Jingting, “I wish Mr. Fu and Miss Gu a hundred years of good fortune and an early child.”
After saying that, she tilted her head and drank the red wine in one go, put down the cup, turned around and left.
“Mr. Fu, I have to thank you too.” Lu Qi grinned, “If it wasn’t for your indifference, my baby wouldn’t have come to his senses! Thank you for holding your hand high and letting my baby go, she deserves the best.”
Li Chuan picked up the butterfly clutch on the table, which Rong Shu had forgotten to take with her, and said in a warm voice, “Go away.”
“Go go!” Lu Qi took Li Chuan’s shoulders and left here together, adding spitefully, “The air here is so filthy, I feel sick even if I stay for one more second!”
As he watched them leave, Fu Jingting’s brow knitted tighter, and there was an indescribable feeling of irritation in his heart that could not be dispelled.
Rongshu looked silent and did not expect there to be such a good suitor.
……
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time.
“Baby you were fantastic just now, tsk, look at Gu Manyin’s face, he wants to eat you.” Lu Qi got into the driver’s seat and put on his seatbelt, while laughing, “I was so happy to see that, I wanted to applaud you!”
Li Chuan got into the back seat and handed the butterfly clutch to Rong Shu, “You just put it on the table and forgot to take it.”
“I was just walking fast, I didn’t notice.” Rongshu took the handbag.
Li Chuan glanced at the jewellery box that was placed next to the seat and asked Rong Shu, “Sister, do you …… still care about Fu Jingting? Don’t want to see him with Gu Manyin, that’s why you asked for this string of Zhan Blue Hearts?”
Lu Qi drove on, but also looked at Rong Shu from the rearview mirror, waiting for her answer.
“I’m divorced from Fu Jingting, why do I still care about him?” Rong Shu smiled, “I didn’t expect Gu Manyin’s mind to turn so quickly, using the gift of my appreciation to divert everyone’s attention from the video.”
She said, opening the jewellery box and showing it to Li Chuan, “I’ve checked, this piece of blue heart is designed by the famous “k” in the jewellery industry, and it’s valued at over 100 million. What do you think?”
Lu Qi let out a groan, “A hundred million dollar necklace? You’ve got a huge chunk of Fu Jingting’s wool!”
“Of course I know I’m awesome.” Rong Shu grunted, put the jewellery box on and threw it to him, “Find a good channel to sell it for me, one hundred million, and take the extra money as my fee for your hard work.”
“Okay!”
Li Chuan saw that Rong Shu looked changeless, not like she was telling lies to fool herself, her tightly furrowed brows loosened, “Seeing you like this, sister, I’m relieved.”
“Baby, why don’t I find you another boyfriend?” Lu Qi said with a smile, and glanced at Rong Shu from the rearview mirror, “Tell me your requirements, or you and I can, anyway, my mother quite like you ……”
“No!” Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Li Chuan.
“Why not?” Lu Qi rolled his eyes and boasted, “Little Master is not only handsome, but also multi-talented, and he and Xiao Shu are childhood friends, so I’m the perfect choice for her husband!”
Li Chuan’s thin lips pursed for a moment, the aura emanating from his body was a little cold, “You don’t care about your family.”
“No, do you know if I care about my family or not? You haven’t lived with me!” Lu Qi looked at Li Chuan’s look in the rear view mirror and suddenly smiled wickedly, “Hey hey, is it that you also like Xiao Shu?”
Rongshu was stunned, and when she reacted, she immediately reached out to whack Lu Qi, “Shut up, he’s only twenty-two, he’s a kid!”
“Twenty-two years old, a man, and the word child is not relevant.” Lu Qi asked with a bad smile, “Li Chuan, are you a virgin?”
Even if Li Chuan was more gentle, he was a little embarra*sed by Lu Qi’s question and coughed, “Yes ……”
“Do you have thoughts about Xiao Shu?”
“……”
The more you look at Lu Qi, the more you talk, the more you don’t want to shut up. After seeing the chocolate on the middle row armrest, you immediately tear it open and stuff a whole bar into Lu Qi’s mouth.
“He’s like that, he talks out of turn.” Rongshu told Li Chuan, “Just ignore it, and don’t worry about those words.”
Li Chuan mumbled, his eyes still locked on Rong Shu’s face.
After a moment of hesitation, he was just about to say something to Rongshu when the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
He moved to the other side of the car window and lowered his voice, “What’s up?”
After making the call, Li Chuan said to Lu Qi, “I have something to take care of, just drop me off at the intersection in front.”
“Is the agent on the phone?” Rongshu asked, “Why don’t you let Lu Qi take you there?”
Li Chuan smiled lightly, his voice warm and nice, “It’s fine, the nanny car is on its way here, I want Lu Qi to send you back early and get some rest.”
Seeing the youth say this, Rong Shu did not force herself and nodded her head.
Soon, Li Chuan got out of the car.
When the car drove away again, Rong Shu slightly poked her head out and saw Li Chuan standing on the roadside with a straight posture and a well-defined side profile ……
The man in her eyes seemed to turn into the Fu Jingting of eight years ago as she looked on.
