Chapter 221
The crowd instantly turned their attention to Gu Manyin.
Gu Manyin became the target of all eyes.
She subconsciously wanted to hide behind Fu Jingting.
But Fu Jingting put his hand firmly on her shoulder, not allowing her to hide, and said in a deep voice, “Mangyin, since you have done something wrong, you must learn to bear it and face it!”
Gu Manyin looked at him with incredulous eyes, as if she was accusing him of not only not helping her, but also making her admit her mistake.
For a moment, Gu Manyin bit up her lower lip, and a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.
Although it was quick, Fu Jingting still caught it and froze for a moment.
Mangyin hated him?
Just because he hadn’t helped her?
“It seems that Mr. Fu already knows about it, in that case, I won’t sell the story.” Mrs. Li took a sip of red wine and then said, “Just now on the first floor, I saw with my own eyes that it was Miss Gu who touched Miss Rong’s arm, and Miss Rong did nothing before Miss Gu fell to the ground by herself.”
“In other words, it was Gu Manyin who faked her own fall and then slandered our baby, right?” Lu Qi perked up.
Mrs Li nodded, “That’s right.”
Cheng Huai and Li Chuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Great, Madam Li was on their side.
Even Fu Jingting’s tightly furrowed brow relaxed a little.
Rongshu bowed to Madam Li in a sincere manner, “Thank you, Madam Li, for helping me testify.”
Madam Li smiled at her, “I’m not all for you, I’m just not used to seeing someone playing such tricks on my turf.”
These words made Gu Manyin blush.
Gu Yaotian’s face was also unsightly, but he was still gritting his teeth, “But what Meng’s girl saw was not like that, she saw with her own eyes that it was Rong Shu who pushed Mangyin.”
“Oh? Did you see it with your own eyes?” Madam Li looked at Meng Ke with an unchanging smile.
“I …… I ……” Meng Ke was also a little flustered at this moment, she didn’t expect that Madam Li was actually on the first floor just now.
Meng Ke looked at Madam Li, and then at Gu Manyin and Gu Yaotian.
Gu Manyin nodded to Meng Ke, “Xiao Ke, say ah, say you saw it.”
“That’s right, Meng Jia girl, just say it, since you saw it with your own eyes, there’s nothing you can’t say.” Gu Yaotian also supported.
“I ……” Meng Ke stammered, facing this group of people who were all of higher status than her, her pressure increased for a while, and finally she couldn’t hold it up anymore and suddenly burst into tears, “I… …I didn’t see it with my own eyes.”
“What?” Gu Yaotian’s face changed drastically, “You didn’t?”
A killing intent even skimmed across the bottom of Gu Manyin’s eyes.
D*mn it, Meng Ke actually betrayed her!
Meng Ke didn’t dare to look at Gu Yaotian and his father and daughter, and buried her head low, her voice panicked, “I was so angry with Rongshu that I didn’t pay any attention to Mangyin, and only after Mangyin called out did I realize she had fallen, but I didn’t even see how she fell.”
“You ……” Gu Yaohui’s hands were shivering, “Then why did you say you saw it again?”
“Because Mangyin is my friend, so ……”
“So you just said you saw it.” Rong Shu sneered, “It seems that you are really Gu Mangyin’s good friend, but Gu Mangyin doesn’t treat you as a friend oh.”
“Huh?” Meng Ke looked at Gu Manyin blankly.
Fu Jingting also looked down because of Rong Shu’s words.
After Gu Manyin sensed it, she hurriedly hid the anger and killing intent in her heart and gave Meng Ke a sad expression.
Meng Ke instantly left Cheng Huai’s words behind, feeling guilty in her heart for betraying Gu Manyin as a friend.
“Mangyin, I’m sorry, I ……”
Gu Manyin don’t look at her.
Meng Ke dropped her eyes in loss.
Mrs. Li took in the scene and shook her head slightly.
Next to her, Gu Yaotian refused to die, “Even if Meng Ke didn’t see it, what about the others.”
He swept towards the other guests, “They just said that they saw it.”
“A dead duck with a stiff upper lip.” Lu Qi couldn’t help but mutter.
Gu Yaotian heard it and wanted to get angry, but then he thought of the fist just now and held back.
At this moment, a guest stood out awkwardly, “So what, Mr. Gu, actually we didn’t see it either, we just didn’t want to offend Mr. Fu, so we said we saw it.”
“Pfft!” Lu Qi Cheng Huai burst out laughing.
Rongshu and the introverted Li Chuan also slightly hooked up the corners of their mouths, with laughter in their eyes.
Only Fu Jingting had a terrifyingly dark expression, “Just because you’re afraid of offending me, so you’re calling white black?”
“Because Miss Gu is your fiancée.” That guest whispered back.
Fu Jingting wanted to retort, but didn’t even know where to do so.
Because Mangyin was his fiancée, so Rongshu had to be wrongly accused, so if the Gu family did something in his name next time, just because they were his in-laws, so these people had to help cover it up too?
At this moment, Fu Jingting suddenly realised that he had been too indulgent with the Gu family.
This would definitely not do!
“You …… you guys ……” Gu Yaotian did not expect that these people were pleasing Fu Jingting to help Meng Ke and Mangyin commit perjury, and was so angry that his eyes went black and he almost pa*sed out.
At the same time, he also hated these people and Meng Ke, as well as Gu Manyin, the rebellious daughter.
To have the heart to deal with others but not have the ability to control the whole scene is typical of a big heart and incompetence!
“Mr. Gu, what else do you have to say now, if you still have, then I will have to go on surveillance.” Madam Li looked at Gu Yaotian with a smile.
Gu Yaotian clenched his fist and said in a dry voice, “No need, Mrs. Li, this matter is our fault, we have wronged Miss Rong, Mangyin, apologize.”
Gu Manyin was reluctant, but she had already lost all her face, everyone was looking at her with a different colour, if she didn’t apologise, she would look even more disgraceful.
Therefore, she could only say sorry to Rong Shu in a humiliating manner.
Rong Shu smiled, “I think that Miss Gu should also say sorry to Madam Li for slandering me and affecting the atmosphere of the banquet, and secondly, for this dressing up of yours.”
Dressing up?
The crowd looked at the gown Gu Manyin was wearing.
Those who were smart enough to see it laughed at once.
Those who hadn’t yet seen it were confused, such as Lu Qi Cheng Huai and the two of them.
As for Li Chuan, he belonged to the group that could see it.
Fu Jingting also belonged to the group that could tell, and his thin lips were pursed tightly, “Mangyin, who arranged this look for you?”
“What’s wrong with my look?” Gu Manyin obviously hadn’t realized what had happened to her face.
Rongshu then laughed, “There’s nothing wrong with your dress, the problem is the fur on your shoulders and the clutch in your hand.”
“That’s right.” Mrs. Li’s face sank, “This is the second reason why I am driving you away, the theme of today’s banquet is to protect wild animals, everyone else is dressed nicely, while you show up draped in fur and holding a crocodile clutch, are you slapping me and Old Li in the face?”
Hearing this, Gu Yaotian sucked in a breath of cold air before angrily chiding loudly towards Gu Manyin, “Say it, who styled you!”
He hadn’t noticed until he said it, but only after he said it did he realise that this rebellious girl, had actually worn an outfit that went against the party tonight.
It really P*ssed him off.
“There is no stylist, it’s me …… No, it’s her, it’s Rong Shu who deliberately harmed me!” Gu Manyin thought of something and raised her hand to point at Rong Shu.
The crowd looked at Rong Shu again.
Fu Jingting frowned, “Mangyin, don’t talk nonsense.”
“I’m not talking nonsense, it’s really her, she’s the one who told me to dress like this!” Gu Manyin was so anxious that she stomped her foot.
Gu Yaotian had another reason to target Rong Shu, “Good, so it was you.”
The three Lu Qi wanted to say something, but were stopped by Rong Shu.
Chapter 222
“You said it was me?” Rongshu smiled, “Then tell me, how did I get you to dress like this? Is it hard for me to come to your house and make you wear it?”
“You weren’t at my house, you were at the dress shop!” Gu Manyin said as she squeezed her palms to death.
The curve of Rongshu’s mouth grew thicker, “Oh? In a dress shop? I remember I was in a dress shop, and I didn’t let you wear it like that.”
“It was you and that Chen Xingnuo, who said those dresses looked good with fur and crocodile clutches, that’s why I ……”
“Pfft!” Rongshu covered her stomach and burst out laughing.
Lu Qi Cheng Huai Li Chuan also laughed along with her.
Even Madam Li shook her head mockingly.
Only Fu Jingting Gu Yaotian Meng Ke did not laugh.
Fu Jingting rubbed his brow tiredly.
Meng Ke lowered her head very low.
Gu Yaotian was even more eager to find a hole in the ground to burrow into.
How could he have such a stupid daughter!
“What are you guys laughing at!” Gu Manyin pinched the palms of her hands and glared angrily at Rong Shu and the others.
Lu Qi rubbed his sour face with laughter, “Nothing, we are just laughing at the fact that we have never seen such a stupid person like you, baby said that it looks good, so you wear it like that, do you have no brain?”
“If she had a brain, we wouldn’t have seen her in this outfit.” Li Chuan said gently, but the bottom of his eyes were icy cold.
“You guys, you guys ……” Gu Manyin’s body was trembling badly.
Fu Jingting’s hand on her shoulder tightened a bit, “All right Mangyin, don’t make a scene.”
“Jingting …… they all said that about me, you didn’t help me, and you said I was causing trouble?” Gu Manyin stared at him with wide eyes, looking at him sulkily.
Gu Yaotian was also displeased with him.
Fu Jingting pursed his thin lips and was just about to say something.
Rongshu flicked her nails and suddenly spoke, “Miss Gu, I did say to Xingnuo at the dress shop that those dresses looked great with the fur cankles and crocodile clutch, but I didn’t suggest you wear them ah, you and I are enemies, how could I possibly suggest them to you, but I didn’t expect that not only did you eavesdrop on our conversation, but you actually wore them out, and wore them to a party like this. ”
“Don’t talk nonsense, you were talking so loudly with Chen Xingnuo, you were obviously saying it to me, what do you mean I was eavesdropping, you were obviously setting me up to get me into it.” Gu Mangyin roared with eyes wide with anger.
Cheng Huai rolled his eyes, “Do you have any evidence? Without evidence what are you talking about, you are brainless and stupid, you do whatever others say, and in the end, you even backpedal.”
“You ……”
“That’s enough!” Mrs. Li frowned, very impatient, interrupting what Gu Manyin wanted to say, “This is my place, if you want to spill the beans go back to your Gu family, all right, ask Miss Gu and Mr. Gu out, my party, they are not welcome.”
“Yes.” A few waiters who came at some point nodded their heads and made an inviting gesture to Gu Yaotian and Gu Manyin.
Although Gu Yaotian was angry, he had already lost his face and did not want to stay here, so he forced a smile and said, “Then I will leave Madam Li alone, I will go first, Mangyin, go.”
“Dad!” Gu Manyin was still a little reluctant.
Gu Yaotian pulled her arm and pulled her out of Fu Jingting’s arms, and after waiting for a glance from Fu Jingting, took her away forcibly.
If she didn’t leave again, she would only be more humiliated.
“sh*t, this is leaving, I haven’t apologised to my baby yet.” Lu Qi skimmed his lips.
Rong Shu laughed lightly, “I don’t care about their apology, in saying that, their faces are kind of gone tonight, I believe we can still see their jokes on the internet tomorrow.”
“That’s true.” Lu Qi gloated and laughed.
Fu Jingting swept a glance at him, frowning slightly, but didn’t say anything.
“You’re the Meng family’s thousand-year-old daughter, right?” At this point, Madam Li suddenly turned her gaze towards Meng Ke.
Meng Ke cowered and raised her head, “Yes …… yes …… Meng Jianguo is my father.”
“You are a righteous one, but your brain is not too good either, you are being used as an arrow and still foolishly don’t know it.” Mrs. Li commented indifferently.
Lu Qi Cheng Huai snorted out a laugh.
Meng Ke’s face went red with shame.
To be told in public by an elder of noble status that her brain was not good, it was worse than killing her.
“Alright, you should go too, I remember I didn’t invite the Meng family, so you are the one brought by that Gu family’s Qianjin, since the Gu family’s Qianjin has left, there is no need for you to stay.” Madam Li waved her hand, giving the order of expulsion.
Meng Ke nodded her head repeatedly and after answering yes, she walked quickly towards the banquet gate with her head lowered.
On the way, she could feel the many strange gazes falling on her, making her afraid to look up.
Mangyin had made a name for herself tonight, and she was no different.
I’m sure tomorrow the circle will be full of voices laughing at her.
“They’ve all gone, let’s go too.” Lu Qi said as he rested his hand on the back of his head.
Li Chuan looked at Rong Shu’s dress, “Sister’s dress is also stained with red wine, it’s time to go back and change it.”
“I can’t go, I have to talk to someone about something later.” Cheng Huai sighed regretfully.
Lu Qi smiled happily, “Then take your time and talk, don’t be in a hurry, it’s okay to talk about the sea and the rocks.”
He patted Cheng Huai’s shoulder, hoping that Cheng Huai would never appear next to his baby.
Don’t think he couldn’t see that this guy had a heart for Baby.
It was enough for Baby to have him and Li Chuan by her side, there was no need for another b*****d who would steal Baby’s attention from them.
Cheng Huai laughed and threw Lu Qi’s hand down straight away, then after greeting each of Madam Li, Rong Shu, and Fu Jingting, he turned around and went to the rest room, looking for someone to talk to about his business.
“Madam Li, it’s getting late and we should indeed leave, I’m sorry for what happened tonight and for ruining your party, I’m sorry.” Said Rongshu, bowing apologetically to Madam Li again.
Madam Li smiled, “To be honest, I did get angry at first, but I admired you when I saw your unfazed attitude, go on, be careful on your way.”
“Yes.” After shaking her hand for a moment, Rongshu led Lu Qi and Li Chuan away.
When she brushed past Fu Jingting, she didn’t even look at him, as if he didn’t exist as a person.
Fu Jingting’s heart hollowed out for a moment, and he subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to pull her back and not let her go.
But until she disappeared, he didn’t grab her either.
Finally, Fu Jingting lowered his eyes and closed his fist to put his hand down.
This scene was seen by Madam Li, who smiled a little and asked, “Mr. Fu, I’ve heard about your divorce from Miss Rong, the outside world said that you had no feelings for Miss Rong before you left, but I just saw that it doesn’t seem to be that way.”
Fu Jingting put his hands in his trouser pockets and said, “Mrs. Li is joking, there is no such thing.
He has feelings for Rongshu?
How could that be!
Fu Jingting pursed his lips, forcing down the emotions that rose up inside him, and rejected Madam Li’s words.
Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows and smiled meaningfully, “Well, then it seems that I was wrong, sorry.”
“No harm done.” Fu Jingting lowered his eyes and replied indifferently.
Mrs. Li sipped her wine, “Speaking of which, how did Mr. Fu and Miss Gu fall in love again, Miss Gu was a vegetable for six years, and six years ago I know you and Miss Gu didn’t know each other, right?”
“Mangyin and I have known each other for a long time.” Fu Jingting shook his head slightly, “For about ten years, but we met by chance as pen pals until six years ago when Mangyin and I officially met.”
“So that’s how it was.” Mrs Li nodded in a daze, then smiled again, “But I’m curious, why did Mr Fu fall in love with Miss Gu?”
