Chapter 245
After saying that, the pain immediately subsided.
Fu Jingting slightly lowered his head, covering up the violence in his eyes.
Sure enough, what had just happened wouldn’t be the last time, after this time, he knew that he had to make Gu Manyin happy when she was in a bad mood, or satisfy her when she wanted something, if he didn’t do that, he would be just as punished with angina symptoms, what difference was there between this and a puppet on a string!
“Jingting, thank you, you’re so kind.” Gu Manyin didn’t notice Fu Jingting’s difference and said with an embarra*sed smile.
Jingting was now back to the way he was before the car accident, so they should have made up, right?
Fu Jing Lin lowered his eyes to suppress the thoughts in his mind that wanted to destroy everything, and did not reply.
At that moment, the manager who had just left came back, with a doctor in tow.
“Four gentlemen and ladies, let the doctor take a look, where is the injury.” The manager hurriedly said to the four of them, Rong Shu Fu Jing Ting, but in his heart he was secretly screaming.
Just now, the gentleman with the walking stick almost died suddenly, and now the crystal lamp suddenly fell down, and it happened to be the crystal lamp above the gentleman with the walking stick’s head.
The man with the crutches is not a reincarnation of the evil one, he has bad luck everywhere he goes.
“Doctor, let’s see my sister first.” Li Chuan hurriedly dragged the doctor to Rong Shu.
Suddenly, Gu Manyin’s eyes turned and she said, “Miss Rong, can you wait for a while?”
“What do you mean, you want to see it first?” Li Chuan’s face sank and his eyes looked at her gloomily.
Fu Jingting also knitted his brows, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
Ever since he knew that he didn’t love Gu Manyin, and understood that he couldn’t help but treat Gu Manyin well and protect her, or else he would have to suffer ‘punishment’, he had gradually grown disgusted with Gu Manyin in his heart.
“Yes, what Miss Rong hurt was only her arm, while what I hurt was my face, so ……”
“You don’t have to bullsh*t there!” For the first time, Li Chuan couldn’t hold back his fire and exploded, “What’s wrong with the fact that you hurt your face, are you hurt as bad as my sister?”
Li Chuan pointed at Rong Shu’s still bleeding arm and hated to strangle Gu Manyin.
Gu Manyin bit her lip, “Even if Miss Rong is hurt worse than me, but if my face is delayed for a long time, it will leave a scar, even if Miss Rong’s arm leaves a scar, it can still be hidden in her sleeve, Miss Rong is so kind, she shouldn’t want to see me leave a scar, right?”
“No, I am vicious, I just want your face to be scarred, not only scarred, but also pus and rotten!” Rong Shu said in a cold and icy tone.
Gu Manyin’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Miss Rong you ……”
“That’s enough!” Fu Jingting couldn’t stop, his face ugly as he scolded, “Let Rong Shu look first.”
“Jing Ting ……”
“Let Rongshu read it first!” Fu Jingting stared at Gu Manyin and repeated.
No one knew how much pain he was enduring at the moment, his heart, so painful that it was about to explode, the voice in his head was urging him to snatch the doctor over and give Gu Manyin first look, Rongshu could be left alone, he should just let Rongshu be in pain and let Rongshu be sad.
But on what grounds? Why should he do as he was told, why should he let Rongshu be in pain?
The mysterious power that was manipulating him could just kill him, and maybe then he would be relieved.
That’s right, at this moment, Fu Jingting had fully understood that there was a mysterious force controlling him, manipulating him to love Gu Manyin and to be good to Gu Manyin.
Perhaps, he had never loved Gu Manyin, and the love he thought he had before was just an illusion created by that force, making him think that he loved Gu Manyin.
The only explanation is that Gu Manyin is most likely not Maple Leaf.
And yet it was such a glanceable vulnerability that he had never found before, was this normal? He was pretty sure that it wasn’t normal.
It was that power, that power that was blinding him, deliberately preventing him from finding out that Gu Manyin was not Maple Leaf.
He didn’t know why that power was protecting Gu Manyin, but it didn’t matter, that power was presuming to manipulate him, so he would fight that power to the end.
“Hum ……” Fu Jingting grunted out in pain, and the next second, he suddenly couldn’t stand up and fell to one knee, his face full of pain.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked again.
What was going on?
How could he be like that again?
Rongshu pursed her red lips in confusion.
He looked like he was in pain, so he couldn’t really have some sudden illness that she didn’t know about, right?
“Jing Ting.” Gu Manyin wanted to go help Fu Jingting up.
Fu Jingting directly slapped her hand away.
As a result, he had one less hand to hold on to the table, his body could no longer hold on and he fell towards the floor, falling in the direction of Rong Shu’s side.
Seeing his approaching body, Rongshu subconsciously stretched out her uninjured hand and gave him a hand.
What she didn’t expect was that the moment Fu Jingting came into contact with her, the sharp pain in his heart actually eased.
Fu Jingting raised his head in shock and looked at Rong Shu.
He was ten thousand percent sure that indeed, when Rong Shu touched him, he didn’t hurt as much.
So she …… could possibly be the key for him to get rid of that mysterious power, or perhaps the …… antidote!
Thinking about this, a great joy surged through Fu Jingting’s heart.
He raised his hand and gripped Rong Shu’s hand tightly, as if he wanted to melt her hand inside his own.
And as he did so, the pain in his heart actually lessened once again, and even grew lighter and lighter, so light that he could barely feel it anymore.
“Let go!” When Rongshu saw Fu Jingting grabbing his hand and looking at himself with hot eyes, she only felt strange in her heart, not understanding what was wrong with him.
As if he hadn’t heard, Fu Jingting still held on to her hand and wouldn’t let go.
Li Chuan’s face sank, and Gu Manyin’s face twisted up.
The manager and doctor at the side found the scene even more baffling.
These four people, who was a couple with whom?
The relationship was too messy!
For a while, the atmosphere was very strange and quiet.
It was only when the doctor put down the scissors that the strange atmosphere was broken, “Alright, this young lady’s wound is bandaged, take care not to touch water for twenty-four hours, then change the medicine on time and you won’t be left with scars.”
“Okay I got it, thank you doctor.” Rongshu smiled at the doctor, indicating that she had taken note of it, and then looked at Fu Jingting with dissatisfaction, “Don’t let go yet, how long do you want to hold on to it?”
“Quickly let go of my sister!” Li Chuan went straight forward and separated Fu Jingting and Rong Shu’s hands.
Fu Jingting had thought that his heart would ache anew after the separation.
Unexpectedly, what he had expected did not happen.
It seemed that as long as the pain was lifted after touching Rong Shu, it would not hurt again after separating from Rong Shu.
“Jingting ……” Gu Mangyin’s soft voice rang out again.
Fu Jingting stood up holding the table, his face cold, “Doctor, please take a look at her.”
“Okay.” The doctor nodded his head.
Gu Manyin added “Jingting, I’m a bit afraid of pain, can you hold me?”
A trace of mockery flashed in Fu Jingting’s eyes.
Rongshu’s wound was so big, but she didn’t even cry out in pain, she still called it pain for such a small wound, so pretentious, it was really disgusting.
“Good.” Fu Jingting lowered his eyelids and agreed to Gu Manyin.
He knew that if he didn’t agree, his heart would probably flare up again, although with Rong Shu around, he could immediately relieve the pain.
But if he purposely did that, it would obviously arouse Rongshu’s disgust, and if Rongshu didn’t know that he was doing it to relieve the pain, she would only think that he was deliberately taking advantage of her, and that the loss would be outweighed by the gain, and that he would figure out later how to reach Rongshu and fight that mysterious force.
Chapter 246
Fu Jingting went over and held Gu Manyin in his arms.
To outsiders, he looked heartbroken for her.
But only he himself knew that this hug of his had no warmth whatsoever.
“Manager, this matter, what are you going to do about it?” At this moment, Li Chuan took off his jacket and draped it over Rong Shu, looking at the manager and asking coldly.
The manager sighed and returned with a sigh, “Miss and gentlemen, we are really sorry about this matter, we didn’t expect the lamp to fall down suddenly, this is our restaurant’s fault, we will take full responsibility, we will waive the bill for the four of you, pay all the medical fees for the two ladies, and send a membership card, do you think this is okay?”
The manager cautiously looked at Li Chuan and then at Fu Jingting.
In his opinion, the decision was in the hands of these two men.
However, Li Chuan looked at Rong Shu and asked what she thought, “Sister, what do you think?”
Rong Shu rubbed her eyebrows, “Let’s do what the manager said, after all, this matter can’t be blamed entirely on the restaurant, no one knew that the lamp would suddenly fall down, it’s just our bad luck that we happened to sit under this lamp.”
“Then let’s do what my sister wants.” Lai Chuan said back to the restaurant manager.
The manager was grateful, “Thank you thank you, thank you both for your understanding, I’m really sorry for ruining your good mood.”
Saying that, the manager bowed deeply towards Rong Shu and Li Chuan.
After Li Chuan helped him up, he looked towards Fu Jingting’s side again, “These two gentlemen and ladies, what do you mean?”
Fu Jingting was afraid that Gu Manyin would try to be a demon again, so he pursed his lips and took the lead and said, “The same as them.”
The manager was grateful again.
He was afraid that these two would not speak well.
After all, the lady who had hurt her face was a difficult person to deal with.
It was a good thing that this gentleman was so understanding, otherwise the young lady who had hurt her face would not have been able to take it so well.
Having solved the guests’ problems, the manager wiped the sweat from his head and finally sighed with relief.
Suddenly, a waiter who was handling the crystal lamp spoke up in confusion, “Manager, this lamp is so strange.”
“What’s wrong?” The manager walked over.
Rongshu and Li Chuan also looked over curiously.
Even Fu Jingting turned his gaze over there.
“It’s this one.” The waiter pointed at the pillar of the crystal lamp, “This pillar isn’t rusted or corroded either, how on earth did it break?”
“This ……” The question stunned the manager.
The manager’s face was complicated as he looked at the pillar of the crystal lamp, unable to speak for a long time.
The pillar, which connected the crystal lamp to the ceiling, was so thick and sturdy, and also made of alloy, that even a magnitude 10 earthquake could not shake the crystal lamp off the ceiling, unless the pillar rotted.
But the alloy material does not rust that easily, and even if it were to decay, it would be a decade or two later, and they had only had the restaurant open for less than a year.
“Could someone have done something to it?” Rongshu narrowed her eyes and suddenly spoke.
Li Chuan nodded, “It’s still possible, since the chances of the pillar breaking on its own are too small, then it was man-made to make it break.”
“Man …… made it?” The manager was stunned and said, “Don’t talk nonsense, sir, how could we possibly do that to a customer?”
“You misunderstood, Xiaochuan is not saying you guys did it.” Rongshu smiled at the manager.
The manager was first relieved to hear that it wasn’t about them, then asked in confusion, “Then who is it about?”
Rong Shu shook her head and didn’t answer anymore.
Next to him, Fu Jingting’s eyes sank slightly, suddenly remembering his own car accident.
His own car accident was man-made, and he hadn’t even found that person yet.
And this crystal lamp, again, fell on top of his head, although it ended up on Rong Shu’s table, but Rong Shu’s table, their table, was just less than a meter away from his, so this crystal lamp, too, was most likely aimed at him.
Perhaps this time, it was the same person who had set up his car accident last time.
However, the next second, Fu Jingting dismissed his suspicions.
When he and Gu Manyin had come out, they had only said that they were having dinner, and had not decided in advance which restaurant to go to, but had driven here before deciding to eat here.
In other words, he had decided to come to this restaurant on the spur of the moment, and tampering was all done in advance. The man behind the curtain didn’t even know he would come here, so how could he have tampered with the restaurant in advance, unless that man had foresight.
The same person who disproved the man-made story was Li Chuan, who first guessed it was man-made.
Li Chuan looked up at the ceiling and then at the crystal lamp on the table, doubt written all over his always gentle face, “It’s too strange.”
“What’s wrong Xiaochuan, did you find something else?” Rongshu looked at him.
Li Chuan rubbed his chin and nodded, “The ceiling is too high, it’s estimated to be ten meters high, normal ladders aren’t even that long, it’s almost impossible for a person to get up there and do something, unless there are professional lifting machines, but professional lifting machines are all very big, they can’t even be transported into the door of the restaurant.”
The manager hastily agreed, “This gentleman is right, our restaurant is based on the Renaissance period, the British and air country’s castle to build, the castle ceiling at that time are very high, these crystal lamps are decorated with professional lifting machine installed, installed after the restaurant door, otherwise, the lifting machine can not be transported in. ”
“So, it’s not man-made?” Rongshu wrinkled her eyebrows.
Li Chuan was just about to answer when Gu Manyin, who had administered the medicine, opened her mouth first, “Mr. Li, one moment saying that the person for is you, and the next moment saying that it is not man-made is also you, don’t you think that you are a bit too irresponsible to make such casual remarks?”
A hint of hostility flashed across the bottom of Li Chuan’s eyes.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market. What’s more, when we’re talking, Miss Gu is just interrupting, don’t you think it’s too rude? Oh no, people like Miss Gu who are shameless have no manners in the first place.”
“You ……” Gu Manyin glared in anger.
Rong Shu sneered, “Look at you gnashing your teeth, what, you want to bite me, come on, come on, bite.”
She stretched out her finger and hooked it towards Gu Manyin, with the look of a teasing dog.
Gu Manyin’s body shook violently and her eyes turned scarlet, “Rong Shu, you dare to treat me like a dog!”
“I didn’t say that, you admitted it yourself, since you said you were a dog, then you are, I didn’t deny it, why are you so excited.” Rong Shu ruffled her hair and said with a helpless expression, “These days, there are actually people who are eager to be dogs.
Li Chuan knew that she had scolded Gu Manyin like that to help herself, her heart was so soft, and the look in her eyes was so gentle that she was about to drown, “Okay, I’ll listen to my sister, I won’t argue with the dog.”
The manager at the side watched the whole scolding battle in his eyes and knew in his heart that he was a good guy.
The struggle between women, really terrible!
“You …… you ……” Gu Manyin pointed at Rong Shu and Li Chuan, her fingers were trembling violently.
But the two of them, Rong Shu and Li Chuan, didn’t even look at her, strictly implementing the code of not bothering with dogs.
Gu Mangyin almost turned her back, turning her head and clutching the corner of Fu Jingting’s coat, her eyes to not hide her complaint, “Jingting, they scolded me, didn’t you even hear?”
