Chapter 217
So that was it.
Fu Jingting lifted his chin slightly.
He had thought that she was deliberately targeting Rong Shu.
“That’s what I’m going to say about you Jingting.” Gu Yaotian looked at Fu Jingting with a stern face, unhappy, “Although Mangyin is not officially engaged to you yet, the last engagement party ruined by Rong Shu has already announced to the outside world that Mangyin is your fiancee, since she is now a fiancee, at least send a ring, you have nothing here, others will laugh at Mangyin too.”
“Dad, don’t be like this, Jing Ting has his own ideas, let’s not push him.” Gu Manyin tugged on Gu Yaotian’s sleeve and hurriedly advised.
While advising, she did not forget to look apologetically at Fu Jingting, looking as if she was afraid that he would get angry, “Sorry ah Jingting, my father’s words, you don’t care.”
“It’s alright, uncle is right, I should have given you a ring.” Fu Jingting’s voice was clear and cold as he said back.
The reason he hadn’t given Mangyin a ring was because he didn’t want to, and that was why he had deliberately said that he would give it after he got married.
As for why he didn’t want to give it, he couldn’t even say it himself, but Gu Yaotian was right, Mangyin had already taken on the name of his fiancée, if he didn’t give a ring, people in his circle would more or less look down on Mangyin.
“Jingting, is what you said true?” Gu Manyin looked at Fu Jingting with delight.
When Fu Jingting saw how happy she was, his eyes softened a little, “Really.”
Mangyin was the woman he loved, the one he had once said he would make her happy for the rest of her life.
How could he not give her the ring just because of that unspoken emotion in his heart.
“Jingting, you’re so kind.” Gu Manyin happily flung herself into Fu Jingting’s arms.
Gu Yaotian feigned anger and glared at her the same, “One ring and you’ve abandoned me as your father, really girls are extroverted, huh?”
“Dad!” Gu Manyin turned around and shouted in a pretend pout, but in reality, she and Fu Jingting exchanged a look that only they themselves could understand.
That’s right, they had deliberately come to find Jingting.
Before they came up here, they had already found out clearly that the person in Box 1 was Fu Jingting, so they had planned this trick to get Jingting to give her the ring and confirm her title as his fiancee.
I didn’t expect it to work, and it worked very well.
“Jing Ting, then let’s go pick out a ring tomorrow, okay? I want dr, even though that ring takes the light luxury route and is generally not expensive and can even be described as cheap, but I just want it because it represents that a man can only buy one.” Gu Manyin looked up at Fu Jingting, “Jingting, is that okay?”
When Fu Jingting heard ‘a man can only buy one’, his brows twisted slightly, subconsciously wanting to say no, but looking at her expectant eyes, he eventually suppressed the bit of rejection in his heart and nodded, “Yes.”
“Thank you Jingting.” Gu Manyin happily hugged him tightly.
Fu Jingting’s thin lips twitched, but he couldn’t be happy, he only felt annoyed.
After a few seconds, he gently pushed Gu Manyin away, “Okay Mangyin uncle, let’s go to the banquet first, Li Lao and Mrs. Li are still waiting for us to hit the care.”
“You are right, then let’s hurry up and go.” Gu Yaotian nodded his head.
The Li family was a little stronger than the Gu family.
Although it was not as strong as the Fu family, they, the Gu family, had to be held up and could not be offended.
At this moment, the brightly lit banquet hall was filled with people raising their gla*ses and mingling.
Rongshu was looking around with a gla*s of juice, looking for something.
Lu Qi came over with a plate of snacks and handed it to her, “We’ve finally got rid of that Cheng Huai guy, I don’t know what’s driving him crazy lately, he’s obviously a friend of Fu Jingting, but instead of going to Fu Jingting, he has to hang around us.
“Well, he doesn’t mean any harm, and he’s nice and talkative, so it’s easy to get along with him.” Rongshu said with a smile as she took the snack.
Although she didn’t understand why Cheng Huai kept coming to them lately.
But she knew that Cheng Huai was not their enemy.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about him, baby what were you looking at just now.” Lu Qi asked as he took a sip of red wine.
“Looking for Xiaochuan ah, I haven’t seen him since the auction, I’ve only heard his voice so far.” Rongshu rubbed her brow back.
“I’m so happy to hear that Sis misses me so much.” Just as her voice fell, a man’s gentle voice rang out behind her.
Rongshu’s face instantly couple a surprised smile, then turned around quickly, seeing the youth who was just two metres away from her, she took a step forward, “Xiaochuan, it’s really you!”
“It’s me.” Li Chuan nodded with a smiling smile, then stretched out his arms and embraced her, the movement was tight but not too gentle.
Li Chuan buried his head on Rong Shu’s shoulder and gently rubbed it, his voice tender with a hint of choking, “Sister, I miss you so much.”
Rongshu cried and laughed, stroking his head, “Okay, I miss you too, good boy, get up, everyone is watching.”
“No, sis, let me hold you for a while longer.” Instead of letting go of her, Li Chuan hugged her even tighter.
Rongshu just thought he was still a child, and after shaking her head helplessly, she let him go.
When Lu Qi saw this scene, he rolled his eyes to the sky.
Li Chuan, this brat, would only pretend to be a little puppy to deceive the baby in exchange for a close encounter with her, despise!
Yet underneath the contempt, Lu Qi also had to admit that he was envious of Li Chuan, envious that Li Chuan could go and hug Baby in this way.
If it were him, Baby would have pushed him away long ago.
Lu Qi let out a bitter smile and tilted his head to finish the red wine in his gla*s.
Not far away, Fu Jingting and his party of three entered the banquet hall, and through the crowd, they also saw the scene of Rong Shu and Li Chuan hugging.
Fu Jingting’s pupils shrank for a moment, and the hand holding his cane tightened violently, his face was even darker and uglier, and there was a violent storm under his eyes.
Li Chuan had actually come back.
As soon as she came back, Rong Shu was cuddling with him, did she like these men surrounding her so much?
Feeling the cold air coming from the man beside her, Gu Manyin twisted her head to glance, seeing the jealousy in the man’s eyes, her eyes darkened in obscurity.
“Jing Ting, the one hugging with Miss Rong, I think his name is Li Chuan, the model who ruined my rehabilitation banquet with Miss Rong before, I thought he had left Hai City, I didn’t expect him to appear again now, and even hug with Miss Rong, Mr. Lu, as Miss Rong’s boyfriend, actually stood by and watched without stopping, what do you think of the three of them, what is their relationship in the end? ”
The corner of Gu Manyin’s mouth hooked up a malicious arc, which quickly disappeared again.
Fu Jingting’s face was extremely ugly, he only felt that the image of Rong Shu and Li Chuan embracing was very harsh, so harsh that he wanted to go up and separate them and tell Rong Shu that he was not going to be so close to other men.
But again, he knew very well that he was in no position to do so.
“That’s their business, and whatever their relationship is, it’s none of our business.” Fu Jingting finished in an icy voice and withdrew his gaze to walk towards the front.
Gu Manyin hurriedly followed.
On Rongshu’s side, Lu Qi put down his empty wine gla*s and stepped forward to pull Li Chuan away, “Alright, alright, you’ve had enough hugs after being full for so long.”
Li Chuan’s eyes gave him a discontented look.
Lu Qi looked back, “Don’t forget, I’m now Baby’s nominal boyfriend, you’re hugging Baby like this, what do you want others to think?”
Li Chuan froze, then looked around, and he saw people pointing and speculating about the relationship between the three of them, and when they saw him looking over, they hurriedly looked away as if nothing was wrong.
However, as soon as he withdrew his gaze, those people continued again, saying things that were not very nice, and some even said that Rong Shu was a watery woman, looking for men everywhere and so on.
Chapter 218
Rongshu also heard it, and smiled lightly, not taking it to heart.
She had heard these words a long time ago, not knowing how many times.
“Sister, you’re not angry?” Li Chuan looked at the smiling Rong Shu and asked with a frown.
Rong Shu took a sip of her juice, “There’s nothing to be angry about.”
“They said that about you.” Li Chuan narrowed his eyes, his eyes sweeping over these people as if he wanted to memorize all these people’s faces.
Rongshu smiled, “Let them talk, I can still seal their mouths.
“But I’m angry.” Li Chuan’s eyes flashed a trace of gloom, which pa*sed away instantly.
These people, who should insult Sister, he would not spare any of them!
Rongshu didn’t know what was going through Li Chuan’s mind and patted his shoulder, “Alright, I know you’re not fair for me, but I’m not even angry anymore, so don’t take it to heart, just let them be, a bunch of people with a bad mouth, there’s no need to take it personally.”
Li Chuan smiled and nodded, “I know sis.”
“The juice is finished, I’ll get another one.” Rongshu put the empty cup aside and went to the fruit section again.
The only two people left in the room were Li Chuan and Lu Qi.
Lu Qi put his hand on his shoulder and lowered his voice, “Kid, these people, you want to take a shot?”
Li Chuan threw his hand down and coldly replied, “They dare to slander Sister, I naturally have to teach them a lesson.”
“I support you, but go easy on the hands, in case they suspect the baby ……”
“I know.” Li Chuan lowered his eyes and interrupted him.
Lu Qi patted him on the shoulder, “Good to know, well, Baby is back, don’t let slip.”
Li Chuan gave a hint.
Rongshu walked over with a cup of mango juice and asked with a smile, “What are you guys talking about, I could see you all looking so serious just now over there.”
“We were talking about what to get you for your birthday.” Lu Qi chuckled and snorted.
Li Chuan nodded his head cooperatively, “Yes sis, what do you want?”
Rongshu cried and laughed, “My birthday is in June next year, there’s still six months to go, and you guys are talking about preparing a present for me, don’t you think it’s too early?”
“Not too early, there are some gifts that need to be customized in advance.” Li Chuan shook his head and returned gently.
“You guys are talking about preparing a birthday present for Rongshu, add me to it.” At this moment, Cheng Huai suddenly walked over and interjected.
Lu Qi gave him a blank look, “What does baby’s birthday have to do with you?”
“Why not, I’m also a friend of Rongshu’s.” Cheng Huai said as he puffed out his chest.
Lu Qi sneered, “Correction, your friend is Fu Jingting.”
“So what, there’s no limit to the number of friends, and Rongshu and I are still partners, right?” Cheng Huai winked at Rong Shu.
Lu Qi skimmed his lips and was suddenly speechless.
Li Chuan narrowed his eyes, “Sis, what did you and Cheng work together on?”
“Some very important ones, specifically, so I won’t tell you yet.” Rong Shu smiled back.
This was a feud between the three Rong Gu Cheng families, there was no need to tell Xiao Chuan.
Telling Xiao Chuan would only make Xiao Chuan worry.
Seeing that Rong Shu was unwilling to say anything, Li Chuan’s eyes darkened, seemingly lost.
“Right Rong Shu, I’ll take you to meet some bigwigs in business.” At this point, Cheng Huai suddenly said.
Rongshu’s eyes lit up slightly, and then looked at him suspiciously, “Why are you so kind to pull in contacts for me?”
“Just as a thank you for taking care of Doudou last time, well, let’s go, don’t make the bigwigs wait.” After saying that, Cheng Huai directly pulled her wrist and pulled her away.
Although Lu Qi was dissatisfied, he didn’t stop him for the sake of his baby’s career.
Li Chuan’s face was dark as he looked at Cheng Huai’s back, “Lu Qi, his relationship with sister, when did he become so good?”
Cheng Huai is a person he knows, a friend of Fu Jingting, and he didn’t have much dealings with Sis before.
How come more than two months had pa*sed and Cheng Huai and Sis were so familiar, and the way Cheng Huai looked at Sis made him dislike it.
“Because of the cooperation, I guess.” Lu Qi shook the red wine and said back.
Li Chuan turned his head to look at him, “What cooperation exactly?”
Lu Qi spread his hands, “Don’t ask too much about that, since Baby doesn’t want to tell you, I naturally can’t go against her, let’s go, brother will take you to meet some bigwigs in the entertainment industry.”
On the other hand, under Cheng Huai’s guidance, Rong Shu met quite a few old bosses in business and got quite a few business cards.
Although many of these old bosses gave their business cards because of Cheng Huai’s face, there was also a part that was given because of her own talk.
Although that part was not much, to Rongshu, it was still something to be happy about.
At least, she was over the moon with this part of the boss, and I believed that in the future, cooperation would be much smoother.
“Rong Shu, I’m going to the restroom, you ……”
“I’m going to the rest area, I’ve been standing for a long time, I just want to have a seat.” Rongshu cut off Cheng Huai’s words and said to him with a smile.
Cheng Huai nodded, “That’s fine, I’ll go to the restroom first then.”
He put his gla*s of wine into the tray of the pa*sing waiter and turned to leave the lobby.
Rongshu put her business card into her handbag and put it away, ready to go to the lounge area.
She had just taken two steps when she was stopped by an eerie female voice, “Isn’t this Rongshu, why are you alone now, where are your boyfriends?”
Hearing these words, Rong Shu pursed her red lips and turned around, looking at Meng Ke and Gu Manyin who were walking towards her with no expression.
Gu Manyin pulled Meng Ke’s arm, “Xiao Ke don’t be like that.”
She then smiled at Rong Shu with embarra*sment, “Miss Rong, I apologise on behalf of Xiao Ke, I’m sorry, she didn’t mean it, she was just being straightforward.”
“Straightforward?” Rong Shu laughed, “Do you know what it means to be straightforward? If you use this word, it means that you agree with her, so why are you apologizing?
“Miss Rong, how can you be so ……” Gu Manyin bit her lip, looking aggrieved, “Even if I used the wrong word, you don’t have to call me hypocritical.”
“Exactly.” Meng Ke craned his neck, “Mangyin just said the wrong thing, do you need to be like this? And I’m not wrong, you’ve been with so many men ……”
“You’re jealous, huh?” Rongshu looped her arms and looked at her with a sneer.
Meng Jue’s face turned red and she snarled in anger, “Who’s envious.”
“If you’re not envious, why are you bringing Cheng Huai and the others to my attention? Even if you want to pick on me, you don’t have to use the men around me as an excuse, do you?” Rong Shu sneered.
“I …… me ……,” Meng Ke’s eyes turned red with anger, and she stammered, unable to speak.
Rong Shu cold eyes swept over the two people, her eyes full of disdain, “Next time before you come to pick on me, I advise you to think of a better slot first, otherwise it’s quite easy to make a joke!”
With those words, she turned around, about to leave.
Gu Manyin bit her lower lip, and after a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, she suddenly reached out to grab Rong Shu’s arm.
Just as her hand grabbed Rong Shu’s arm, she looked as if she had been pushed and backed up in shock, then fell on her buttocks on the ground, the red wine in her hand also broke and soaked the dress on her body.
This scene caused the whole party to fall silent and look over to this side.
Seeing this, Gu Manyin raised her head and looked at Rong Shu with a face full of tears, “Miss Rong, you are too much, I just touched you, why did you push me?”
