Chapter 231
“Mr. Fu!” a*sistant Zhang’s face froze as he hurriedly pulled Gu Manyin away and pressed the emergency call bell at the bedside.
Gu Manyin was still a little annoyed, but when she heard the woo-woo ringing in the ward, she realised what had happened.
“What’s wrong with Jing Ting?” She asked in a hurry.
Fu Jingting was in so much pain that he was about to faint.
a*sistant Zhang helped him to lie down and turned his head to look at Gu Manyin angrily, “Miss Gu, don’t you know that Mr. Fu has injuries on his body, holding him up so hard that the wounds are cracked!”
a*sistant Zhang pointed at Fu Jingting’s chest, which was stained red from his hospital gown.
He suddenly had some doubts, did this Miss Gu really love Mr. Fu?
Shouldn’t loving someone be more careful when the other person is injured, fearing that the other person’s injury will worsen.
But this Miss Gu doesn’t care about that at all.
Gu Manyin’s face got flustered, “I …… I didn’t mean to ……”
She was just happy that Jing Ting had woken up, and only then did she get excited and hug up.
There was no thought of what the consequences of hugging up would be.
“What’s wrong what’s wrong? Why is this bell ringing?” At this time, the old lady, supported by Wang Shuqin and Feng Ma, also came in from outside.
a*sistant Zhang was wiping Fu Jingting’s sweat, and when he heard this, he hurriedly replied “Mr. Fu’s wound has split open.”
“Oh, it’s bleeding.” Wang Shuqin exclaimed.
The old lady was anxious, “Xiao Zhang, wasn’t Jingting fine just now, how did the wound open up?”
Gu Manyin’s eyes flickered sheepishly, and she hurriedly winked at a*sistant Zhang, hoping that he wouldn’t expose her.
But a*sistant Zhang pretended not to see it and put down the towel and replied, “It’s Miss Gu, who just cracked Mr. Fu’s wound.”
“What?” The flesh on the old lady’s old face trembled, then her eyes shot coldly at Gu Manyin, “Good, I knew it was you.”
“I didn’t mean to.” Gu Manyin bit her lower lip and whispered back, but in her heart she hated a*sistant Zhang to death.
He was just a dog by Jing Ting’s side, how dare he disobey her and offend her.
Just wait, when she and Jing Ting get married, she will be the first to fire him!
“Since Jing Ting got together with you, how much has your reputation been dragged down and how much has the Fu family lost for you? Don’t think that I don’t know because Jing Ting hid it from you. The old lady’s eyes were red as she pointed at Gu Manyin and scolded her mercilessly.
At this moment, she was just an ordinary old lady who was worried about her grandson, not some high and mighty old dowager.
So she didn’t bother to maintain any luxury family etiquette, she scolded as she should!
Gu Manyin’s face was red from the old lady’s scolding, and she hated her guts to death, but she did not dare to say anything back to her, so she could only look at Wang Shuqin, hoping that she could say something for her.
Wang Shuqin has always liked this future eldest daughter-in-law, not only because of her family background, but also because this future eldest daughter-in-law knows how to behave, and always holds her up and gives her expensive things, and she is willing to help say a few good words.
“Mum, what you’re saying is too serious, maybe Mangyin really didn’t mean it?” Wang Shuqin smiled at the old madam.
The old lady gave her a cool look, “He cracked your son’s wound, and instead of blaming her, you even helped her speak up. It’s true that if you’re not your own mother and son, your feelings are thinner.”
What?
Jing Ting was not Wang Shuqin’s real son?
Gu Manyin raised her head abruptly, looking at Wang Shuqin in surprise, and then at the man on the hospital bed with his eyes tightly closed, not knowing whether he had pa*sed out or not.
Wang Shuqin and Jing Ting did not have the slightest resemblance in appearance, and Wang Shuqin acted and behaved as if she was a countrywoman, so she did not look like she was from a wealthy family at all.
Even Zhang’s a*sistant, who was at the side, was quite surprised to learn this secret.
“Mom, what are you talking about? Even if Jingting is not my own son, I really do treat him as my own son.” Wang Shuqin returned with dissatisfaction.
The old lady gave her an oblique glance, not bothering to pay attention to her.
Soon, the doctor came and gave Fu Jingting a painkiller.
After the pain was suppressed, Fu Jingting’s consciousness gradually came back.
He opened his eyes and his face looked even whiter than before.
The old lady was distressed and took his hand, “Jingting, is everything alright?”
Fu Jingting shook his head weakly, “It’s fine, don’t worry grandmother.”
“I’m sorry Jingting, it’s all my fault, I’m sorry ……” Gu Manyin stood by the bed, wiping her tears and sobbing.
The company’s headache was caused by her crying, and he was not in the mood to comfort her, so he raised his arm and rubbed his temples, “Okay, stop crying!”
Hearing the impatience in his voice, Gu Manyin’s crying stopped and she looked at him with some hurt.
It is true that he has now become somewhat immune to her cries and will no longer put her first as long as she cries, even if he is busy, he will still come to coax her.
Thinking about this, Gu Manyin felt a little panicky in her heart and couldn’t help but bite her nails.
“Well, the patient’s wound has been re-dressed and bandaged, so just take good care of it next, but you can’t take any more hits, or else the wound will not only crack, but even the fixed ribs will break.” The doctor took off his bloodstained gloves and gave a serious warning.
The old lady nodded repeatedly, “Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on it, I won’t let some brainless person hurt my grandson again!”
She looked at Gu Manyin with a meaningful gesture.
Gu Manyin lowered her head in humiliation and did not dare to say anything.
After the doctor left, the old lady pounded her cane, “All right, you all go back first, I have something to say to Jing Ting.”
“I don’t want to go, I want to stay with Jingting.” Gu Manyin tugged on Fu Jingting’s sleeve and said immediately.
The old lady’s face sank and her eyes looked at her even more grimly, “Miss Gu, can’t you hear that the person I most unwelcome is that you?”
Being told she was not welcome in public, Gu Manyin was extremely embarra*sed.
She looked at Fu Jingting and her lips moved, just as she was about to say something.
Fu Jingting pulled out his sleeve, “Mangyin, you go back first.”
“Jingting ……” Gu Manyin was still a bit reluctant.
Fu Jingting’s thin lips pursed and his eyes looked at her deeply, “Go back.”
Gu Manyin’s body stirred as he looked at her, a feeling of being seen through by him, subconsciously avoiding the sight he hit, and nodded, “Okay, I’ll see you next time.”
After saying that, she picked up her bag and left.
Wang Shuqin and a*sistant Zhang also followed and left.
Only the old lady, Feng Ma, and Fu Jingting were left in the ward.
The old lady sat down with Feng Ma’s help and looked at her grandson with some meaningfulness, “Why do I find that when you woke up this time, your attitude towards Gu Manyin seems to have changed quite a bit, you don’t obey him in everything like before.”
Fu Jingting rested an arm over his eyes, “I suddenly thought of something, maybe it was because I was too obedient to her before that she became more and more arrogant.”
Most importantly, this time when he woke up, he could clearly feel as if some shackles had opened up in his heart all of a sudden.
For example, in the past, when he saw Mangyin crying, or when Mangyin was aggrieved, there was a voice in his heart screaming that he must go and comfort her and spoil her, but now he suddenly found that voice much smaller, and he became a lot more relaxed all of a sudden.
“It’s right that you should think so.” The old lady smiled gratefully, “Jingting, you’ve finally changed back to some of your old self.”
“My old self.” Fu Jingting stared at her blankly, not understanding what she meant by this.
Chapter 232
The old lady nodded, “Yes, the way you used to be, the way you used to be, is different from the way you are now, the way you used to be wasn’t so cold, even gentle, but ever since that incident with you …… six years ago, you’ve been like a different person, if it wasn’t for the birthmark on you, I would have thought you had been swapped. ”
Fu Jingting’s pupils shrank.
Listening to his grandmother’s description, the person he used to be, and the person he was to him now, were two completely different personalities, yet he didn’t have the slightest impression of his former personality.
Was this normal?
Fu Jingting held down his forehead, his head started to hurt again, and those strange images in his mind also popped up again, like a walking light, and flashed again, too fast for him to catch.
“Jingting what’s wrong with you?” Seeing Fu Jingting’s strange appearance, the old lady was busy asking.
Fu Jingting pinched his brow, “I’m fine, grandmother, tell me more about how I used to look.”
“Okay.” The old madam readily agreed, “In the past, you didn’t talk so little, you were always polite to everyone, but ever since you told me that you were with your pen pal Gu Manyin, I found that you only had Gu Manyin in your eyes and heart, you couldn’t see anyone else anymore, you only revolved around Gu Manyin, just like a puppet.”
“No, that’s not possible.” Fu Jingting clenched his fist and subconsciously retorted that this was not true.
How could he be like a puppet.
Yet as soon as he thought back to the limitless doting and maintenance he had given Gu Manyin, he lost his voice.
He knew that Gu Manyin had done many wrong things, but he had never thought of criticising her or punishing her, instead he was indecisive and helped her to wrap it up, just because she cried, so he was soft to do so, what was this if not a puppet?
But he wasn’t supposed to be like this, but the memories in his head told him that he had indeed become such a person again.
Watching her grandson fall into deep self-doubt, the old woman sighed.
“Alright, alright, let’s not talk about that, it’s useless to talk about that, let’s talk about the rest, why did you have the car accident over at Shushu’s side, you were there to find Shushu?” The old lady asked as she touched Fu Jingting’s forehead.
Fu Jingting’s eyes flickered for a moment and he did not answer.
The old madam bristled, “Forget it if you don’t say, I’d better go and rest, but Shushu has said that even if she’s worried about you again, she can’t not rest.”
“Does Rong Shu know that I had a car accident?” Fu Jingting’s expression moved slightly and he immediately opened his mouth to ask.
The old lady nodded, “Yes, you’ve been in the headlines for your accident, how could she not know.”
Fu Jingting lowered his eyelids, hiding the imperceptible emotions in his eyes, “Then did she ……”
asked me, or come to see me in the hospital?
“Did what?” The old lady looked at him.
Fu Jingting’s thin lips opened, but in the end he did not say the words that followed, saying instead, “Nothing.”
“You child.” The old madam glared at him, “Forget it, I’ll go first, you can rest.”
Fu Jingting gave a hint of disappointment.
It seemed that Rong Shu had not asked him, and even more so, had not come to see him.
Otherwise grandmother and the others, how could they not have said anything.
Knowing that he had been involved in the accident at Repulse Bay, there was no way that Rong Shu could not have guessed that he was there to find her.
Yet she still hadn’t come to see him, was she really that cold-hearted and cold-hearted?
Fu Jingting’s handsome face was sunken, his heart irritated and uncomfortable.
……
Tian Sheng Group.
Li Chuan accompanied Rong Shu to have afternoon tea in the office for a while before he received a call from his agent, asking him to return to the agency for a meeting.
He had just left on the first foot, and Chen Xingnuo came in the second.
Learning that Li Chuan had already left, she instantly put on a bitter face, “One step too late.”
“Why are you so concerned about Xiao Chuan?” Rongshu pointed to the chair opposite, gesturing for her to sit.
Chen Xingnuo sat down and her expression rose seriously, “Mr. Rong, let me tell you the truth, I suspect that he is the person I am looking for.”
“Hey?” Rong Shu was puzzled.
Chen Xingnuo picked up his cup of tea and took a sip, “You should know, Mr. Rong, that I’ve been looking for someone, right?”
Rong Shu nodded, “Yes, you have taken leave twice before for this.”
“That’s right.” Chen Xingnuo sighed, “I’m actually from the capital, a bodyguard for a powerful family, and I came to Hai City this time to look for the lord’s youngest son.”
“So you now suspect that Xiao Chuan, is the youngest son of the old master as you say?” Rongshu raised her eyebrows.
“Yes, because Mr. Lai looks like the old master and is the right age for the young master, so I’m now pretty sure that he is the young master.” Chen Xingnuo said.
Rongshu laughed and said, “What if he’s not? Although he died a long time ago, I’ve seen the photos and he looks quite similar to Xiaochuan.”
“I’m saying this, but of course I have proof, first of all, it’s the place where Mr. Lai grew up, Jiang County, and we found out that the young master used to live in Jiang County, plus Mr. Lai and our master have similar looks, both of them are so coincidental, so how could he not be the young master.”
“That’s true.” Rongshu nodded her head.
Chen Xingnuo took her hand in hers, “Mr. Rong, do me a favor, help me get two of Mr. Lai’s hair, I want to do an identification.”
“This …… I’ll ask Xiaochuan’s permission, if he’s not willing, then there’s nothing I can do.” Rongshu thought about it and returned.
Chen Xingnuo gratefully squeezed her hand, “Thank you Mr. Rong, it’s good enough that you can help me, if he doesn’t agree I’ll find my own way, well Mr. Rong, I still have work to do, I’ll go back to the finance department first.”
After saying that, Chen Xingnuo let go of Rong Shu’s hand and went out humming a song.
“What a breeze.” Rong Shu shook her head in tears and laughter.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Rongshu put the pen down and picked it up to see that it was from Cheng Huai, so she answered it straight away, “Hello.”
“Auntie.” The voice coming from the phone was not Cheng Huai’s, but a child’s tender voice.
Rongshu instantly smiled, “Is it Doudou?”
“It’s me, auntie, Doudou misses you.” Doudou grabbed the phone with both hands and sweetly pouted.
Rong Shu’s face was full of doting, “Let Shushu bring you over if you want me to.”
“Okay, my uncle ……”
Before Doudou could finish his words, Rong Shu heard Cheng Huai’s voice, “Kid, give me the phone.”
“I don’t.” Doudou said back as he hid the phone behind his back.
Cheng Huai looked at his movement and sneered, “Kid, do you think I can’t get it if you hide it behind your back.”
With that, Cheng Huai bent down and grabbed the phone directly, then put his big hand against Doudou’s head, allowing Doudou to kick and punch without being able to reach him.
Seeing this scene, Doudou deflated her little mouth and was about to cry.
But Cheng Huai smiled smugly and put the phone to his ear with his other hand, “Rong Shu, it’s me.”
“Did you bully Doudou?” Rongshu questioned.
Cheng Huai’s eyes rolled sheepishly and he replied with a serious face, “No, he’s my nephew, my own, how could I possibly bully him.”
“Really?” Rongshu narrowed her eyes, obviously not believing.
Cheng Huai nodded repeatedly, “Of course it’s true, I’ll let Doudou tell you myself if you don’t believe me.”
He put the phone in front of Doudou, but his mouth nudged towards the pile of toys on the floor, warning Doudou not to talk nonsense, or else he would confiscate the toys.
Doudou read the bad uncle’s eyes and became angry and tearful, but did not dare to cry out loud, so he could only swallow the bitterness of this aggression under the bad uncle’s threat and squeezed out a smile and said “Auntie, uncle really did not bully me.”
Hearing Doudou say this, Rongshu was convinced.
Cheng Huai gave Doudou a satisfied look, then took his phone and went upstairs, “Rongshu, I found a suitable replacement for Gu Man’er.”
