Chapter 21
“Baby, don’t look at him, look at me, okay?” Lu Qi struggled to pull Rong Shu’s eyes back from the window, “I’m much more handsome than Li Chuan, right? Or do you like him more as a virgin?”
Rong Shu’s thoughts were interrupted, she was angry and laughed at the same time, giving him a blank look, “I thought you were narcissistic when I was a kid, but I didn’t expect you to be even crazier when you grew up.”
“I am self-aware of my own handsomeness!” Lu Qi hemmed and hawed, “Really, baby you want to marry me or not! I’ll find a unique diamond ring in the world and propose to you!”
Rongshu and Lu Qi grew up together, often hanging out with each other and kissing each other, she knew that Lu Qi was finding herself unhappy and wanted to make her happy.
And she was, indeed, amused by his words, and remembered what had been overlooked.
Rongshu opened her handbag and fished out a ring from the compartment, the diamond still shining brightly in the extremely dim light of the car.
This was her and Fu Jingting’s wedding ring.
Rongshu looked at the wedding ring on her hand, and everything that had happened tonight raced through her mind.
The scene where Fu Jingting proposed to Gu Manyin on his knees, almost as if he was drowning, defending Gu Manyin…… heart that had only just calmed down, rippled again.
Lu Qi from the rearview mirror also saw the ring, he rarely did not joke, “baby, you know there are people who look human, but do not deserve to be human, in the future see each other again, you have to go around ah.”
“Mmm.” It was only a few dozen seconds before Rongshu’s heart had returned to peace.
She put the wedding ring on the centre armrest, and her tone was also calm, “This wedding ring, sell it for me too, and donate all the money from the sale to the poor mountain areas.”
After saying that, Rong Shu leaned back into her chair and looked at the scenery flashing by outside the car window, her whole person became very bland.
Eight years had pa*sed, a love affair had finally come to an end, and she was relieved.
……
On this side of the hotel, the banquet was still on, and the guests were buzzing as if nothing had just happened.
The company’s president and partners were greeted by Fu Jingting one after another, and it took him a long time to find the space to catch his breath, with a look of exhaustion between his brows.
He had just sat down to rest when Gu Manyin came over.
“Jingting, are you alright?” Gu Manyin asked thoughtfully, pouring warm water for him and going around to the back to help the man squeeze his shoulders.
Her hands were on point, but a lingering irritation still lingered in Fu Jingting’s heart.
Fu Jingting pressed Gu Mangyin’s hand, his voice deep, “You’ve been greeting people with Uncle Gu tonight, you’re quite tired, sit down.”
“Good.” Gu Manyin smiled lightly and sat down by the man’s hand.
She peeled an orange and handed it to Fu Jingting, but Fu Jingting didn’t take it, he only looked at her, “Mangyin, how did the car accident happen back then, tell me again.”
The man’s eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see into people’s hearts, and when Gu Manyin met him, her hand trembled and she almost threw the orange to the ground.
“I slept too long in the hospital, so many things I don’t remember.” She barely managed to steady her mind and tried to remember, “I don’t remember exactly how the accident happened, I only vaguely remember that I was hit.”
Gu Manyin added, “Tonight Miss Rong was the one who brought in the mess, Jingting, you wouldn’t believe Lu Qi’s words and think that I planned the car accident myself, would you?”
“……”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market. I wouldn’t joke with my life either.”
Seeing that her eyes were red, the doubts in Fu Jingting’s heart also disappeared, leaving only heartache.
Fu Jingting took her hand and kissed it, saying, “Since you have already recovered, the car accident will end, it has left a shadow in your heart, and I don’t want you to feel bad about it anymore.”
“Mm.” Gu Manyin’s heart was relieved and she smiled lightly.
Gu Manyin peeled another orange and handed it over, glancing at the man’s cold side, “Jingting, I know Miss Rong has been married to you for six years and has given a lot for you and the Fu family, and I’m grateful to her. I want to invite Miss Rong to dinner some day and prepare another gift to thank her properly.”
“That’s not necessary.” Thinking of what happened half an hour ago, Fu Jingting’s eyes sank and his tone was a little cold, “Rong Shu was the only person who could donate blood to you at that time, and she blackmailed me with this before I married her. The Heart of Zhanlan she took tonight is also worth a lot of money.”
Seeing that the man was loyal to himself and had always been on his side, Gu Manyin was completely relieved.
She leaned over and wrapped her arms around the man’s waist, a comforting smile on her lips, “Jingting, thank you for waiting for me, I’ve recovered and will have plenty of time for you, and for my aunt, in the future.”
The two were intimate, Fu Jingting smelled the rose fragrance on her body, it was faint, he seemed uncomfortable with the smell and his brow furrowed.
He also remembered that Rong Shu also used perfume, and he had sniffed it several times without feeling his nose unaccustomed to it.
“Mangyin, you pay attention.” Mrs. Gu and Gu Yaotian also came over, seeing Gu Manyin hugging Fu Jingting, with a smile on her face, but her mouth chiding, “There are guests around, it’s not good for the guests to see.”
Gu Manyin’s face turned red at the comment, so she hurriedly let go of Fu Jingting and sat back down.
Gu Yaotian, however, was unimpressed and said, “Mangyin and Jingting were already dating, so what does it matter? If it wasn’t for that girl Rongshu ……”
When he was halfway through his angry speech, Gu Yaotian realized something, paused and asked Fu Jingting with a smile, “I heard that you had dinner with the boss of Jia Pou last week and you intend to buy Jia Pou?”
“I was just having dinner with Mr. Tal, just chatting.” Fu Jingting said, “Mr. Tal is so competitive that he doesn’t want his own company to be bought out even if it is losing.”
Gu Yaotian nodded, “These days I heard that he’s been looking around for someone to invest in his company and has hit a wall.”
The two men chatted about business matters, it was all Gu Yaotian talking, Fu Jingting a*sumed the posture of a junior, listening and occasionally echoing a few words.
Seeing the waiter carrying the juice through the crowd and delivering it to another table, Fu Jingting remembered something and called the waiter over, “A jug of freshly squeezed mango juice please.”
“Okay, you wait a moment.”
Gu Manyin’s face froze when she saw Fu Jingting asking the waiter for mango juice, but she couldn’t ask for anything.
Soon, the freshly squeezed mango juice was brought over.
Fu Jingting poured a cup and handed it to Gu Manyin, a faint smile on his lips, “I remember when I used to correspond, you wrote that you loved mangoes, once you went to your grandmother’s house and ate thirty small mangoes in one go, you weren’t afraid to hold up.”
“Small mangoes are just that, less meat.” Gu Manyin said, she took the mango juice and held it tightly, but did not drink it immediately, her face seemed paler.
“What’s wrong?” Fu Jingting asked, “You like to eat mangoes and don’t like this kind of drink?”
Gu Yaotian didn’t understand what Fu Jingting said to Gu Manyin, but he knew that Gu Manyin was allergic to mangoes, a very serious kind, and couldn’t touch them at all.
Gu Yaotian hurriedly spoke up, “Jingting, Mangyin can’t ……”
“I like to eat mangoes, I also like to drink mango juice, in the past, at home, my mother often squeezed mango juice for me to drink.” Gu Manyin interrupted her father and also gave him a quiet glance, signaling him not to say anything.
Gu Manyin looked at the mango juice in her hand, gritted her teeth fiercely and quickly finished the cup.
Chapter 22
“Mango juice is sweet.” Gu Manyin smiled sweetly at Fu Jingting and placed the cup on the table, “Thank you for remembering what I like.”
Fu Jingting’s thin lips curled slightly, “I remember all your likes. There is a fruit farm that has good fruit, I will ask the boss to send two boxes of mangoes to Gu’s house tomorrow, you can also tell me if you want to eat other fruits.”
“Mm.” Gu Manyin reluctantly responded.
She was starting to feel uncomfortable and pushed her chair away to stand up, her face growing paler and paler, “I’m going to the washroom, Jing Ting, you stay with my dad for a bit longer.”
She lifted the hem of her skirt and turned to walk away as fast as she could.
Gu Manyin had been allergic to mangoes since she was a child, the kind that would kill her if she touched a bit of it. Before she reached the washroom, she felt her breathing was not smooth, her feet faltered and she almost fell over.
“Mangyin, Mangyin!” Mrs. Gu, who had hurriedly arrived, hurriedly held her daughter up.
Seeing Gu Manyin’s uncomfortable face, Mrs. Gu was so anxious, “Are you confused! You’re allergic even to mangoes, Jing Ting gave you a gla*s of mango juice, why did you drink it?
“Mom, I, I’m so sick ……” Gu Manyin breathed in and out, clutching Mrs. Gu’s hand, “Get a doctor to come over, definitely not to let Jing Ting know, if he asks you, you must say I like eating mangoes very much. ”
“It’s already this time, you’re still saying that!” Mrs. Gu rebuked, trying to help Gu Manyin to go to the rest room.
As a result, without taking a few steps, Gu Manyin fainted on top of her with difficulty.
“Mangyin!” Mrs. Gu was so anxious that she was about to cry, and she directly messed up, “Someone come quickly! Someone come!”
Over here in the banquet hall, Fu Jingting had been chatting with Gu Yaotian for a long time, and by the time he looked at his wristwatch, twenty minutes had pa*sed and Gu Manyin had not yet returned.
Gu Manyin had only just recovered, so Fu Jingting was afraid that something might happen to her again, so he pushed back his chair and got up, “Uncle, I’ll go and look for Mangyin.”
“Don’t worry, Mangyin is fine.” Mrs Gu happened to be back, and when she heard Fu Jingting’s words, she smiled and said, “She’s been busy with us all day today and is a bit sleepy, so I’ll let her rest in the lounge.”
Mrs Gu added, “Jingting, you’ve worked hard today too, so go back and rest early, and when Mangyin wakes up, your uncle and I will take her back.”
The party had come to an end, and Fu Jingting was indeed a little tired.
“Then I’ll trouble auntie mother.” Fu Jingting said in a deep voice, “When the company is no longer busy, I hope you and uncle will be gracious enough to have a meal with my mother.”
Mrs. Gu smiled, “Sure, be careful on your way back.”
Fu Jingting took his coat and left. When he turned around at the door, he saw Mrs. Gu saying something to Gu Yaotian and then the two of them walking towards the back of the banquet hall, their pace was hurried.
By the roadside of the hotel, Zhang’s a*sistant was already waiting, and when he saw Fu Jingting come out, he pulled open the back door.
The car drove smoothly towards Fu’s home.
This time when he was quiet, Fu Jingting felt even more irritated, remembering the scene when Rong Shu appeared at the banquet.
He remembered the scene where Rong Shu appeared at the banquet, and the gentle, jade-like young man beside her.
Fu Jingting tugged at his bow tie, and after a while, he asked a*sistant Zhang in a deep voice, “Have you found out about Li Chuan’s family situation?”
“Found out.” a*sistant Zhang told the investigation truthfully, “Li Chuan was born in Jiang County, that place was already poor, near the mountains, transportation was not developed, there was only a school ten kilometres away, six years ago, when Miss Rong went to Jiang County to see the poor children, she sponsored Li Chuan.”
“After he came out of the mountains, he was tapped by Van Yin Entertainment on his way to a summer job and is now Van Yin’s most expensive male model. Li Chuan is also exceptionally smart, and he’s also helping Miss Rong squeeze into Tiansheng’s shareholders so quickly.”
After listening, Fu Jingting said indifferently, “Rong Shu has taken control of Tiansheng with the shares in her hand, but if those shareholders really disobeyed Rong Shu, Tiansheng wouldn’t survive for long, she hasn’t been in the market and doesn’t know anything.”
“Yes.” a*sistant Zhang said approvingly, “Mr. Fu, although you were forced to marry Miss Rong, I could also see that you treated Miss Rong well, knowing that she had just taken over Tiansheng and was afraid that Mr. Gu would love his daughter and take revenge on Miss Rong in the shopping mall, before giving Miss Rong the Heart of Zhanlan and letting her go.”
Fu Jingting closed his eyes and rested for a moment before saying, “She often went to the Fu Residence to accompany her grandmother, taking care of her for so many years, I was only looking at her for her sake.”
a*sistant Zhang smiled, “Yes, the old lady also likes Miss Rong very much.”
Fu Jingting could also see that the old lady liked Rong Shu very much.
Every time he went back to the Fu Residence with Rong Shu, the old lady held Rong Shu’s hand and talked to her endlessly, but when he took Gu Manyin to see the old lady, the old lady’s dislike for Gu Manyin was written on her face.
When he thought of the old lady not liking Gu Manyin, Fu Jingting got a headache and said coldly, “Are you talking so much?”
a*sistant Zhang silently shut up.
At this time, the mobile phone in Fu Jingting’s suit pocket vibrated twice, and when he touched it, he felt a small hard object.
Fu Jingting looked at his phone first and saw that it was a message from Gu Manyin asking if he had arrived home yet.
After answering the message, the man looked at the ring in his hand by the light of the car and quickly remembered that he had gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Rong Shu to get a divorce that day and when he came out, he took off his wedding ring and threw it in his suit pocket.
The maid, presumably seeing that it was a valuable item, did not dare to move it, and after cleaning his suit for him, put the ring back.
After staring at the ring for a long time, Fu Jingting asked, “This wedding ring, did I buy it?”
a*sistant Zhang looked at Fu Jingting from the rear-view mirror, and the ring in his hand, and said carefully, “When you married Miss Rong, you said you gave Miss Rong the wedding dress these, not good to explain to Miss Gu, so the wedding dress, the wedding are not, the wedding from simple.”
“Also, you let Miss Rong pick her own ring, but ……” after a pause, a*sistant Zhang added, “you did not give any card Miss Rong, nor did you instruct me to handle it, so the wedding ring is Miss Rong’s own buy. ”
Hearing what a*sistant Zhang said, the man’s eyes stared at the ring even more sunken, remembering the day of the divorce, Rong Shu’s loose and reckless, proud look.
Six years of marriage, Rong Shu did not open her mouth to ask him for anything, even the divorce is also a clean slate.
Zhang’s a*sistant delayed seeing Fu Jingting’s voice, unsure of what he meant, and asked deliberately, “Mr. Fu, do you want me to get rid of the ring for you?”
“When you arrive at the office tomorrow morning, sort out the information on the “good couple”.” Fu Jingting lightly instructed, “Cheng Huai’s company has cooperation with Tiansheng, you should send this information to Tiansheng in his name.”
“Okay.” a*sistant Zhang had been with Fu Jingting for several years, so he understood the meaning of his words in a second and said, “Tiansheng has long since died, so if we can successfully take over Good Couple, we may be able to turn around, but we are afraid that Tiansheng will not have enough money.”
Fu Jingting said, “Then it depends on how Rong Shu handles that Zhan Blue Heart, Tian Sheng’s victory or defeat is in her hands.”
Zhang a*sistant couldn’t help but talk more, “I see Li Chuan is quite powerful, he can easily make Miss Rong become the new shareholder of Tiansheng, if Miss Rong asks him to help Tiansheng, the future of Tiansheng ……”
As he spoke, a*sistant Zhang noticed a sudden drop in the atmosphere in the car, and the cold made him shiver.
He immediately shut up and drove quietly.
Fu Jingting’s eyes fell on the ring again, thinking that he had blocked out many women who pounced on him when he attended various receptions with his wedding ring over the past few years, and that this wedding ring was not a meaningless ornament.
A few seconds later, Fu Jingting put the wedding ring back into his suit pocket and instructed Zhang’s a*sistant, “If Tiansheng is unable to buy Good Couple by then, you can bring someone to help.”
Zhang’s a*sistant responded, “Roger.”
