Chapter 227
Gu Manyin’s heart thumped, wondering why she was asking, but she still squeezed her mouth to answer, “Yes …… yes.”
The old lady laughed, a meaningful laugh, “That’s strange, Jingting told me that you used to be pen pals and knew each other’s preferences, but now you’re telling me that you don’t know what Jingting’s favorite flower is, are you really Jingting’s pen pal?”
Gu Manyin’s pupils shrank for a moment, and she hastily lowered her eyes to hide the panic and weakness in her eyes, forcing herself to say “Of course I am, but I’ve been a vegetable for six years, so I’ve forgotten a lot of things, and Jingting also knows this.”
She kicked the ball to Fu Jingting, telling the old lady that Jingting didn’t mind her forgetting all this.
This way, even if Old Madam still suspected her, she wouldn’t hold on to it anymore.
“Is that so.” The old madam raised her chin, not knowing whether she believed it or not.
At that moment, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open with force.
Wang Shuqin cursed and walked in.
The old lady’s face sank and she scolded, “What’s all this commotion, don’t you know this is a hospital?”
Only then did Wang Shuqin see that the old lady was still there, she hurriedly put away the fierceness on her face and smiled, “Mom, I wasn’t paying attention.”
“Humph, married into the Fu family for more than ten years, still so vulgar, without the slightest improvement.” The old lady said with boredom.
Although Wang Shuqin was not convinced, she did not dare to retort.
Gu Manyin smiled faintly at her, “Auntie.”
Wang Shuqin instantly cheered up, “Ya, Mangyin is here too.”
“Yes, after such a big incident with Jing Ting, as my fiancée, I should naturally come over to see him, if my parents weren’t too busy, they would have come over too.” Gu Manyin ruffled her hair and said with a warm smile.
Wang Shuqin walked over and sat down beside her, affectionately pulling her hand and patting it, how satisfied she looked, “Good child, it’s Jing Ting’s blessing to have you by his side.”
“Auntie ……” Gu Manyin’s face reddened and she lowered her head in some embarra*sment.
The old lady sneered at this, “Blessed? I don’t think so, just don’t make a mess of the Fu family and thank God for that.”
Gu Manyin’s face froze, she could no longer be shy, and her eyes were filled with gloom.
The old thing, it would just find fault with her.
Wang Shuqin was also a little upset, “Mom, Mangyin is Jing Ting’s chosen fiancée, it’s not very nice of you to say that.”
“Where is it not good, am I not telling the truth, what happened at the Li family banquet last night, the circle has spread, who doesn’t know that this future daughter-in-law of yours is not a simple character, just wait until she enters the house to clean up this mother-in-law of yours.” The old lady mocked back at her.
“Mom, you are talking too much, how could Mangyin treat me that way, right Mangyin?” Wang Shuqin looked at Gu Manyin beside her with some uncertainty.
Gu Manyin nodded her head repeatedly, “Don’t worry auntie mother, you are Jing Ting’s mother, I can’t even be more filial to you, how could I treat you that way.”
“See mum.” Hearing these words, Wang Shuqin instantly ran the apprehension she had just felt to the back of her mind and looked at Old Madam smugly.
In her heart, the old madam said, “Stupid,” and didn’t bother to pay attention to her.
“Right, auntie, what happened to the clothes on you? Why is it wrinkled and a little wet.” Gu Manyin touched Wang Shuqin’s sleeve and suddenly asked.
Wang Shuqin’s face instantly pulled down and her voice was sharp as she said “It’s all because of that little wannabe Rong Shu, she actually dared to splash me with water, if not for me ……”
“You went to look for Shushu?” The old lady slapped the head of the bed, interrupting her words.
Wang Shuqin’s eyes darted around, “I ……”
“Don’t stammer, hurry up and say, did you go to look for Shushu?” The old lady’s face was grim as she questioned.
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time.
Gu Manyin fiercely clenched her hand.
What?
Jing Ting’s car accident was caused by Rong Shu?
“Who told you that Jing Ting’s car accident was Shushu’s fault?” The old lady looked at Wang Shuqin, furious.
Wang Shuqin grunted, “Jingting was in a car accident at Repulse Bay, that’s where Rong Shu lives, Rong Shu must not be dead to Jingting and wanted to remarry him, that’s why she called Jingting over in the middle of the night, causing Jingting to have a car accident, so if she didn’t cause it, who else could it be?”
Gu Manyin hung her head slightly, half of her face hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to see the jealousy and hatred on her face.
When she got up in the morning, she had heard her father say that Jing Ting had had a car accident around eleven o’clock last night, and then rushed over, not asking in detail where Jing Ting had had the accident.
It was no wonder that he was reluctant to go to Gu’s house to see her, but he had gone to look for Rong Shu.
Gu Manyin’s body shivered slightly.
When Wang Shuqin saw this, she quickly asked, “Mangyin, what’s wrong with you?”
Gu Manyin lifted her head, revealing a pair of red, moist eyes, and said in a choked voice, “I’m fine, I just ……”
“I’m just upset because I heard that Jing Ting is over at Shushu’s.” The old lady skimmed her lips.
Gu Mangyin was blocked from speaking for a moment.
Wang Shuqin slapped her thigh in anger and cursed, “That little wannabe!”
“I think it’s light for Shushu to just splash you.” The old lady gave her a cold look.
Wang Shuqin was indignant, “Mother, why do you always speak for outsiders?”
“Who said Shushu is an outsider? Even if she is not my granddaughter-in-law, she is still my granddaughter, much closer than you two.” The old lady said with contempt.
Gu Manyin stood up and said sadly, “Auntie, I’ll go first, the old lady doesn’t welcome me.”
The old lady snorted, not bothering to answer.
Wang Shuqin also got up, “Mangyin, aren’t you waiting for Jingting to wake up?”
“I’ll come over when Jingting wakes up, please let me know when it’s time.” After saying that, Gu Manyin reluctantly glanced at the man on the hospital bed, lifted her bag and left.
If she didn’t leave, she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to resist the urge to strangle this old woman to death.
When she left the ward, Gu Manyin took in a breath and her face changed expression, where there was no trace of sadness, only a chillingly vicious and poisonous look.
She took out her mobile phone and tapped it a few times, putting it to her ear, “Hello, Tian Chen, I want to see you!”
In a dimly lit bas*ment, Lin Tianchen’s gla*ses reflected the light and he agreed with a hooked lip, “Okay, let’s meet at the last private room.”
The call ended, he brought his phone to his face, flipped out a number and called it.
Tian Sheng Group.
Rong Shu was chatting with Li Chuan.
She poured him a cup of coffee, “Don’t you have work today, running to my place, aren’t you afraid that your agent is looking for you everywhere?”
“I’ve only just finished a two-month-long glacier shoot, so the company has specially granted me a week’s leave to rest and adjust to jet lag.” Li Chuan took a sip of his coffee and returned in a warm voice.
Rongshu nodded, “So that’s how it is.”
“Sis, you don’t think I’m too annoying and want to kick me out, do you?” Li Chuan looked at her accusingly.
Rongshu laughed softly, “How could that be, you are my younger brother, how could there be a sister who dislikes her younger brother for being annoying?”
Only then did Li Chuan look happy again, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
A younger brother?
He’s already grown up.
“By the way sis, did you see the news today?” Li Chuan suddenly asked.
Rongshu was reading the documents, and when she heard this, she tilted her head in confusion, “You mean, the matter of Fu Jingting’s car accident?”
Chapter 228
“No, it’s someone else’s. I don’t know what happened today, but there are suddenly a lot more scandals on the internet in the circle.” Li Chuan said back.
Rongshu was stunned, “Scandals?”
“Yes, for example, Mr. Wang of Hanmi has a lover and illegitimate son, Mr. Li of Vantone is cheating on his taxes, Mr. Zhao of Remote is abusing his wife and children, etc. All in all, there are almost 20 to 30 company bosses who have broken scandals, and now the internet is in a mess.” Li Chuan said as he used his coffee cup to shield the cold curve of his mouth.
Rongshu’s eyes widened slightly in surprise, “They couldn’t have offended some big shot, so the big shot purposely screwed them, but it’s unlikely that so many people, at the same time, offended a big shot.”
“Who knows, maybe someone didn’t like them and that’s why they did it.” Li Chuan smiled.
Rongshu nodded, “What you said is also true, fortunately Duan Xingbang doesn’t have these scandals, otherwise he would be on the internet now, it doesn’t matter if he loses his reputation, but he can’t drag Tian Sheng down with him.”
“Don’t worry, Tian Sheng will never be in that situation.” Li Chuan stroked his coffee cup.
Rongshu laughed at him, “How can things be so absolute, even if ……”
Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the ringing of her mobile phone.
Rongshu smiled apologetically at Li Chuan and picked up the phone to look at it, it was an unfamiliar local number.
“Hello, who is it?” Rongshu crossed the green answer button and put the phone to her ear.
On the other end of the line, Lin Tianchen was silent for two seconds before speaking, “You didn’t save my number?”
Rongshu blinked, “Lin Tianchen?”
“It’s me!”
“Sis, who is it?” Li Chuan looked at her phone.
Rongshu gave him a look that said she would talk to him later, then asked, “What do you want?”
“Just now Gu Manyin contacted me, it must be about you.” Lin Tian Chen was holding his phone on his shoulder while his hands kept working on the dead animal on the operating table.
Rongshu narrowed her eyes, “Why do you say that?”
“Because she hardly ever looks for me, and looking for me is basically asking me to deal with you.” Lin Tian Chen returned blandly.
Rong Shu pursed up her red lips, “You mean to say that you’ve dealt with me before?”
The scalpel in Lin Tian Chen’s hand paused for a moment, “Yes, I’m sorry, that person who snatched your bag on the motorbike was me.”
“It was actually you!” Rongshu’s expression sank as she angrily stood up.
Li Chuan followed and got up, “Sister, what’s wrong?”
“I’m fine.” Rong Shu rubbed her brow.
Then, she asked again into the phone, “What about my bag?”
“It was thrown into the septic tank by me.” Lin Tianchen apologized back.
He didn’t know at the time that she was his angel.
So after grabbing her bag, he helped Gu Manyin deal with it straight away, because the phone in the bag had evidence of Gu Manyin pushing her down the stairs.
“Lin Tianchen, I remember you!” Rong Shu’s lungs ached with anger and she took several deep breaths before she could barely quell the anger inside her, “Tell me, what do you want when you call me today?”
“I just said that Gu Mangyin was looking for me, probably to get me to lay hands on you again, so I wanted you to come over and listen to it together.” Lin Tianchen saw that the animal carca*s was almost disposed of, put down his scalpel, took off his gloves and went to wash his hands in front of the sink on the side
Rongshu gripped her phone warily, “How do I know, are you deliberately luring me over and then trying to get Gu Manyin to deal with me? Don’t forget, you and Gu Manyin are on good terms, so why should I trust you?”
“I was on good terms with Gu Manyin because I thought she was you, but now I know she isn’t, so naturally I won’t be nice to her, and I can’t tolerate her cheating on me, so if you don’t believe me, you can bring more people over.” Lin Tianchen rubbed the foam on his hands to answer.
Rongshu was silent.
After a moment, she seemed to have made up her mind and bit her lip, “Okay, send me the address.”
Since he said he could bring more people, then she would bring more, she still didn’t believe that even if it was really a trap, she couldn’t get out in one piece.
And most importantly, if what he said was true, she would be able to know in advance what Gu Manyin wanted to do to her next.
Soon after, Rong Shu received a text message from Lin Tian Chen with her address.
She replied with a few words to go there immediately.
When Lin Tianchen saw it, he pushed his gla*ses, then put his phone in his pocket, and after taking a bottle of unlabeled medicine from a gla*s cabinet to the side, he walked out of the gloomy bas*ment filled with various animal corpses, as well as several human specimens.
“Sis, are you going out?” Looking at Rong Shu packing her bag, Li Chuan asked in a hurry.
Rong Shu gave a hmph and told him the contents of the phone call she had just had with Lin Tianchen.
After hearing that, he immediately said that he wanted to go along too.
After all, this was a feud between her and Gu Manyin, and she didn’t want to involve him in it.
But when she looked at his expectant eyes, she finally softened her heart.
The two of them walked towards the door.
Just after they walked out of the office, Chen Xingnuo came over with a document, “Mr. Rong, where are you going?”
“Going out for something, what’s wrong?” Rongshu looked at her.
Chen Xingnuo shook the document in her hand, “Last month’s financial statement, I need you to look over it and sign it.”
“Then you can put it in my office first, I’ll come back later to read it.”
“Okay.” Chen Xingnuo nodded, and then saw Li Chuan beside her, his expression instantly serious.
“Mr. Rong, this is ……,” Chen Xingnuo asked, staring closely at Li Chuan.
If Rong Shu hadn’t seen the scrutiny of Xiao Chuan in her eyes, Rong Shu would have thought she had fallen in love with Xiao Chuan at first sight.
“This is my brother, his name is Li Chuan.” After introducing her, Rong Shu looked at Li Chuan again, “Xiaochuan, this is my finance minister and my good friend, Chen Xingnuo.”
“Hello.” As if he didn’t see Chen Xingnuo looking at himself in a strangely different way, Li Chuan smiled and extended his hand to her.
“Hello.” Chen Xingnuo’s eyes flashed and she also extended her hand, shaking it with his.
Two seconds later, Li Chuan was the first to pull his hand out.
Chen Xingnuo turned her head and asked Rong Shu, “Mr. Rong, aren’t you an only child, why do you have a younger brother?”
“It’s not my own.” Rong Shu explained.
Chen Xingnuo lifted her chin in confusion, then turned her gaze back to Li Chuan, “Mr. Li, may I ask if your surname is Li? Or do you have another surname before it, like Cheng, or …… Ye!”
“What do you mean?” The gentle smile on Li Chuan’s face faded a lot.
Rongshu was also confused, “Yes Xingnuo, what exactly do you mean by asking this?”
Chen Xingnuo smiled a little, “Don’t misunderstand, it’s just that when I saw Mr. Li, I suddenly felt that he resembled a person.”
“You suspect that I am related to that person?” Li Chuan stared at her.
Chen Xingnuo locked eyes with him, “Yes.”
“That disappoints you, my surname is not Cheng, nor is it Ye, my surname is just Lai, so I am not related to the person you are talking about.” Li Chuan straightened his cuffs, then pulled on Rong Shu’s hand, “Alright sis, let’s not delay, let’s go.”
“Then Xingnuo, we’ll go first, let’s talk about what we have when I come back.” Rongshu looked at Chen Xingnuo.
Chen Xingnuo nodded, “Good.”
She watched Rong Shu and Li Chuan go away until she entered the lift, then she withdrew her gaze and made a call out, “Old man, I saw a young man who looks like Master, I suspect, he might be the person we are looking for, his name is Li Chuan, check his profile.”
On the other side, the car.
While driving, Li Chuan earnestly admonished, “Sister, that Chen Xingnuo is very uncomplicated, there have been lives in her hands, you’d better stay away from her.”
When Rongshu heard this, she was shocked, “A life? Xiaochuan, don’t scare me, how is this possible!”
