Chapter 243
“Sis? Sis?” Seeing that Rong Shu was lost in thought, Li Chuan raised his hand and waved it in front of her.
Rongshu’s eyes wavered for a moment and she came back to her senses, squeezing the corners of her mouth, “What’s wrong?”
“What were you thinking about just now?” Li Chuan asked, looking at her.
Rongshu’s mouth opened, then she smiled and said, “Nothing, let’s go in first, I’m a bit hungry.”
“Okay.” Li Chuan nodded his head and agreed.
Rongshu lifted her feet and walked forward.
“Wait.” Li Chuan called out to her.
Rongshu blinked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
“Take a hold.” Li Chuan bent his arm.
Rongshu cried and laughed a little at the sight, “Alright, my handsome little man.”
Two slight flushes appeared on Li Chuan’s face as he led her into the restaurant.
Under the guidance of the waiter, the two of them arrived at their reserved seats.
Just as she sat down, Rong Shu heard a gnashing female voice from next door, “Rong Shu!”
Rong Shu raised her eyebrows, twisted her head to look and saw Gu Manyin who was staring at herself with a resentful face, she couldn’t help but feel in her heart that it was such a small world.
“Sister, let’s change the restaurant.” Li Chuan also did not expect Gu Manyin to be in this restaurant, and said with a cold face.
Rong Shu shook her head, “No, it’s just here, there’s no reason why we have to leave if we see someone we don’t like.”
“But I’m worried that you won’t be able to eat, sis.” Li Chuan sighed.
Rongshu smiled, “No, the person who can’t eat is not me.”
Saying that, she gave Gu Manyin a light glance.
Gu Manyin held her knife and fork in both hands, poking and squeaking the plate as if it was Rong Shu’s. She was so focused on venting her anger that she was in no mood to eat.
Li Chuan understood that Rong Shu did not leave because she wanted to stay and annoy Gu Manyin, so she did not say anything more about leaving and sat down again.
At that moment, Fu Jingting came back and saw Li Chuan and Rong Shu at the next table, and was slightly stunned.
Rong Shu was actually here too!
And there was a new man beside her.
Last time it was Cheng Huai, this time it was Li Chuan, and next time it would be Lu Qi, right?
She really wasn’t short of men to keep her company!
Fu Jingting’s handsome face darkened and he pulled away the chair opposite Gu Manyin.
“Jingting, have you finished answering the phone?” Gu Manyin let go of the knife and fork in her hand and got up, wanting to help him sit down.
However, he was refused by Fu Jingting, who put his cane to the side and sat down himself propped up on the edge of the table.
Gu Manyin’s outstretched hand just froze in the air, and the expression on her face was a little embarra*sed.
But soon, she pretended that nothing had happened, calmly put her hand down and returned to her seat.
Jing Ting was still so cold towards her.
She had originally thought that if he could agree to come out, he must be willing to make up with her, but she hadn’t expected that she had overthought it.
Next to her, Rongshu was not much surprised to see Fu Jingting appear.
After all, Gu Manyin was here, so it was no surprise that he was there.
Rongshu did not intend to greet Fu Jingting, and silently sipped the plain water on the table.
It was Li Chuan who looked at Fu Jingting a few more times, and there was a jealousy and inferiority complex in his eyes that was not easy to detect.
Yes, jealousy and inferiority complex.
Although he is now a model, famous and rich, he has no need to be jealous of Fu Jingting, even though Fu Jingting is much richer than him.
But he still can’t help it because Fu Jingting is the only person that Rong Shu has ever loved.
As for inferiority complex ……
“Heh ……,” Li Chuan turned the water cup in his hand, his eyelids dropping to cover the darkness in his eyes.
Everyone says he has a good personality and is very gentle, but no one knows that that is not his real personality, his real personality is dark and self-absorbed, not a little gentle to speak of.
His gentleness was just his imitation of Fu Jingting!
He was jealous of the boy she liked and envied him at the same time, so he deliberately changed his personality to imitate the boy she was talking about, just to divert her attention away from him.
But he failed; she had only that boy in her eyes and heart, and even if he imitated him, he was still no match for the boy she loved.
Yes, that gentle, well-tempered boy is Fu Jingting.
Although he didn’t know why Fu Jingting’s character had changed, becoming not the slightest bit as gentle as Rong Shu had said back then, he still had the inferiority complex of a fake against a genuine one when he stood in front of Fu Jingting, because no matter what, he couldn’t deny that he was taking after Fu Jingting.
“Xiaochuan.” Rong Shu’s voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Li Chuan’s thoughts.
Li Chuan smiled gently, “What’s wrong sis?”
“I was asking what’s wrong with you, the food has come up and you haven’t responded to my calls, what are you thinking about that’s so fascinating?” Rongshu poured him a gla*s of juice and asked.
Li Chuan took it, “I’m thinking about the work afterwards.”
“By the way, I heard you say the day before yesterday that you were going to walk in a show in Nanjiang soon, right?” Rongshu asked as she ate.
Li Chuan nodded, “Yes, is Sis interested in going to see it, I’ll give you tickets then.”
“I’m interested, I haven’t seen you walk in person yet, but I’ll have to see if I have time.” Rongshu returned.
At the next table, Fu Jingting saw the two of them talking happily to each other, and his face sank, and his aura around him was not good.
Across the table, Gu Manyin sensed why he was like this and almost gritted her silver teeth.
She secretly waited for Rong Shu and then immediately spoke up to draw Fu Jingting’s attention to her, “Jingting, it’s been five days and you still haven’t gotten over it?”
Fu Jingting lowered his eyes and said in a light voice, “I’m not angry.”
“But my father said the other day that you were angry because of what happened to me at the party, that’s why ……”
“That was just his own speculation.” Fu Jingting siped his water and interrupted her words.
Gu Manyin froze for a moment.
It was actually not because she was angry at her for falsely accusing Rong Shu at the banquet, so what was it that he had suddenly gone cold on her all of a sudden?
Could it be that it was really because he had found out about what she had done?
But that wasn’t right, if he had found out, he would have found her a long time ago, how could he have held back until now?
Gu Manyin bit her lower lip, her heart was restless, “Jingting, then you should tell me what I have done wrong, I’m scared when you don’t say anything like this.”
She said, her eyes were red all of a sudden.
Fu Jingting’s heart contracted violently, then an uncontrollable wave of heartache came up, wanting to soothe her.
But he knew very well in his heart that he did not feel sorry for her, nor did he want to soothe her, but a voice in his head was urging him to hurry and do as he was told.
Fu Jingting clenched his fists in a deadly grip, not wanting to do as he was told.
What he didn’t expect was that his heart actually started to ache, like a pin prick, one after another, so much so that his breath caught and his face began to pale.
The next second, he suddenly slumped onto the table, his gla*s of water was knocked over, rolled around on the table and fell to the floor, breaking it in pieces.
The crisp shattering sound drew the eyes of the entire restaurant over.
Rongshu’s eyebrows knitted up and she looked at Fu Jingting suspiciously.
What was wrong with him?
“Jingting, what’s wrong with you?” Gu Manyin hurriedly got up and came behind Fu Jingting to check his condition.
The manager of the restaurant also walked over quickly, “What’s wrong with this?”
“I don’t know, my fiancé has suddenly become like this.” Gu Manyin’s eyes were tearing up and she was about to cry.
Li Chuan propped up his head and said, “Sister, Fu Jingting couldn’t have had a sudden attack of some kind, could he?”
Chapter 244
Rongshu shook her head, “I don’t know, he shouldn’t have had any sudden illnesses to speak of.”
Anyway, she his understanding was that there was none.
Looking at Fu Jingting’s increasingly pale face, and looking at Gu Manyin who only cried and didn’t even know what to do, Rong Shu shook her head, her whole being speechless.
“Miss Gu, if you don’t want your fiancé to die suddenly, I think you’d better hurry up and call the emergency number, just crying will help?”
Hearing this, Gu Manyin’s sobs gave a pause, then she reacted to the fact that she didn’t know to call the doctor, instead she had to rely on others’ reminders before she remembered, her face was a bit embarra*sed.
“No need for you to remind me, I know how to fight myself.” She gave Rong Shu a resentful look.
Rong Shu shrugged her shoulders, “I’m the one who talked too much, be my guest then, Xiao Chuan, let’s continue eating.”
“Okay sis.” Li Chuan smiled and nodded his head.
The two did continue eating, no longer minding their own business.
Gu Manyin hummed and took out her mobile phone to call emergency services.
Suddenly, Fu Jingting raised his hand and stopped her, “No, I’ll be fine soon, no need to call.”
“But Jingting ……”
“Don’t cry!” Gu Mangyin’s words were not finished when Fu Jingting raised his head against the sharp pain in his heart and put his hand on her face, wiping away her tears with his thumb, his voice was hoarse with a bit of tenderness as he soothed, “I’m fine, don’t worry.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Fu Jingting could clearly feel the sharp pain in his heart begin to subside.
In a few seconds, the pain disappeared completely, and if it weren’t for the cold sweat that seeped out of his forehead, it would have seemed as if everything had just been fake.
Fu Jingting lowered his eyelids, hiding the shock and anger in his eyes.
Just now, he only wanted to test whether the sharp pain in his heart would disappear if he did what the voice in his head said.
He didn’t expect that it would really go away after such a test.
Because he was unwilling to coax Gu Manyin, his heart was in pain, and because he coaxed it, his heart got better. Such a bizarre situation made him, a person who never believed in strange and evil sayings, feel a bit frightened even at this moment.
I just don’t know if this will happen again next time, if he doesn’t treat Gu Manyin well.
Gu Manyin didn’t know what was going through Fu Jingting’s mind, and when she saw that his face had gradually regained its blood colour, she breathed a huge sigh of relief, “Great Jingting, you’re finally okay.”
Fu Jingting’s thin lips twitched, not saying a word, and his eyes were full of ice cold.
Gu Manyin also didn’t notice anything wrong and returned to his seat.
After the manager cleaned the gla*s on the floor, he looked at Fu Jingting, “Sir, are you really all right? Why don’t I call a doctor to come and take a look at you?”
This man came with a cane, and just now he suddenly looked critically ill, although he looked better now, he was still a bit uneasy.
It would be a problem if he died in their shop in case he came back later.
“It’s really alright, no need to find a doctor, just credit me for that quilt you just broke.” Fu Jingting said as he rubbed his brow.
The manager stared at him for a while and finally believed him, “Alright then, I won’t bother Mr. and Miss with their meal, if you have any orders, feel free to call us.”
“Mhm.” Fu Jingting nodded his head.
The manager walked away.
Rongshu suddenly let out a laugh.
The laughter attracted the three of them to Fu Jingting.
“Sister, what are you laughing at?” Li Chuan asked curiously.
Rong Shu stirred the salad in her bowl, “I’m laughing, an outsider knows to worry more about whether Mr. Fu’s health is really well or not, but Miss Gu, who is Mr. Fu’s fiancée, is unique, when Mr. Fu says it’s fine, he really believes it’s fine, not even a superfluous greeting, Miss Gu, do you really love Mr. Fu?”
“Miss Rong what do you mean by that, what do you mean do I really love Jingting, do I need you to say whether I love Jingting or not?” Gu Manyin slapped her knife and fork on the table.
Rongshu spread her hands, “I just have a reasonable suspicion, what is Miss Gu’s reaction so big, could it be that I have said it right, so Miss Gu is weak in heart?”
“What are you talking about, who is weak-minded.” Gu Manyin bit her lip and looked at Fu Jingting aggressively, “Jingting you believe me, I really don’t mean to be unconcerned about you, I just ……”
“Alright, let’s eat.” Fu Jingting pursed his lips and interrupted her, his tone holding a hint of imperceptible impatience.
Gu Manyin stopped talking and picked up her knife and fork to continue eating.
At this point, Fu Jingting’s eyes flashed and he suddenly spoke, “Mangyin, there’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time these past few days, and I think we should ……”
Before the words were finished, a loud bang interrupted his next words.
The sound came from the next table, and Fu Jingting’s face froze as he hurriedly turned his head to look.
It was only to see that a huge crystal lamp had actually been added to the dining table of Rong Shu and Li Chuan.
The crystal lamp had apparently fallen from the ceiling and smashed all the plates on the table, splattering porcelain dishes everywhere.
Rongshu’s arm was cut by a piece of splattered porcelain, and blood was pouring out.
She was not the only one, Gu Manyin was also cut by a flying piece of porcelain, and her face was cut, the wound was about three or four centimetres.
Perhaps due to the speed of the porcelain piece, Gu Manyin did not feel any pain at first, until she felt some kind of liquid running down her face, and when she reached out to wipe it, she found that it was actually blood.
All of a sudden, Gu Manyin’s face turned white and she screamed out loud.
At the same time, Li Chuan also noticed that something was wrong with Rong Shu.
Taking a closer look, he found that she was tightly covering her arm, while blood, seeping out from her fingers, dripped onto her clothes and haloed a large patch.
“Sister, you’re injured!” Li Chuan’s face turned pale and his voice was raised.
When Fu Jingting heard these words, his pupils shrank, not caring if he could stand on his own legs, he directly stepped over and lifted Rong Shu’s arm up, “Show me!”
Rong Shu’s arm was badly injured, the wound was at least ten centimetres long and somewhat deep, blood was flowing out from it in a steady stream, it looked very frightening.
Fu Jingting’s action not only made Rong Shu freeze, but also made Gu Manyin’s face grimace.
She was the closest to him, and she was also his fiancée, and he didn’t even ask her about it, he was concerned about Rong Shu!
Gu Manyin’s body trembled with anger, and the way she looked at Rong Shu, she wanted to eat her.
Rong Shu sensed this and pulled her arm back from Fu Jingting’s hand, saying coldly, “Mr. Fu, you’ve misidentified your concern, Miss Gu is over there!”
“Sister is right, Mr. Fu, please get out of the way.” Li Chuan took the torn handkerchief and expressionlessly squeezed Fu Jingting out of the way, then stopped the bleeding on Rong Shu’s arm.
Fu Jingting was squeezed to the side and almost fell over.
Luckily, the table was behind him and blocked it for him before he regained his footing.
He looked at Li Chuan, who was stopping Rong Shu’s bleeding, and his eyes sank, his thin lips tightened into a straight line, and a wave of displeasure and irritation surged straight up in his heart.
“Jingting ……” Just as Fu Jingting was upset that he was being pushed out of the way by Li Chuan, Gu Manyin’s aggrieved and trembling voice came through.
Only then did he suddenly remember that there was someone else.
“Jingting, my face is injured, will it be disfigured?” Gu Manyin covered her face, her eyes hazy with tears as she looked at Fu Jingting.
Fu Jingting’s thin lips twitched, “No.”
Such a shallow wound, not even half as serious as Rongshu’s, how could it be disfiguring.
“Really?” Gu Manyin was still a little unconvinced.
Fu Jingting was so impatient in his heart that he didn’t even want to answer.
However, as soon as this thought rose, his heart began to ache again.
Fu Jingting’s face turned ugly, clenched his fist, bit the back of his teeth, and said in a slightly cold voice, “Of course it’s true, I will hire the best doctor for you, and I won’t let anything happen to your face.”
