Chapter 249
By this moment, Fu Jingting was completely certain that Gu Manyin was not Maple Leaf.
If she was Maple Leaf, why did she burn the letters they had tied, instead of treasuring them and taking them out occasionally for nostalgia?
Because she was afraid, afraid that if he continued to keep those letters, they would one day be exposed.
Looking at Fu Jingting’s faint trembling, as if suppressing endless anger, Wang Shuqin swallowed with some fear, “Jingting, you …… what is wrong with you?”
Fu Jingting did not answer, took out his mobile phone and dialed a phone out.
a*sistant Zhang yawned, his voice full of sleepiness came, “Mr. Fu, what’s the matter?”
“Come to the Fu Mansion, I have something to ask you.” After saying that, Fu Jingting hung up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, a*sistant Zhang sat on the bed with a dumbfounded expression.
If he had just heard correctly, Mr. Fu had asked him to go to the Fu Mansion, right?
a*sistant Zhang brought the phone from his ear to his face and looked at it, seeing that it was almost twelve o’clock, the whole person was not well.
It was twelve o’clock in the middle of the night, and he was told to go to the Fu Mansion, what was wrong with him?
If you have any questions, can’t you ask them directly over the phone, why do you have to do it in person?
Although his heart was full of resentment towards Fu Jingting, a*sistant Zhang still had to get up from bed with bitterness in his heart, pack up and drive out the door.
At around 1am, a*sistant Zhang stood in Fu Jingting’s study.
“Mr. Fu, what exactly do you want to ask me?” a*sistant Zhang asked with a smile on his face, but in his heart, he consoled Fu Jingting over and over again.
Fu Jingting seemed to sense his grumbling and raised his eyes to glance at him, his fingers tapping on the cold desk, “Do you think, Gu Manyin is a maple leaf?”
“Huh?” a*sistant Zhang froze, then his expression straightened, “Mr. Fu, are you suspecting that Miss Gu was not your pen pal in the first place?”
Fu Jingting nodded his head noncommittally.
After staring at him for a moment to make sure he wasn’t joking, a*sistant Zhang pondered for a moment and said, “Mr. Fu, to be honest, it really doesn’t seem like it. I’ve been with you for so many years and have witnessed your correspondence with Feng Ye. ”
After saying that, a*sistant Zhang glanced at Fu Jingting again, afraid that Fu Jingting would be angry.
Surprisingly, he wasn’t angry, instead he was thinking about something.
a*sistant Zhang was relieved.
Fortunately, Mr. Fu was not angry with him because he had belittled Miss Gu.
But why did Mr. Fu suddenly suspect that Miss Gu was not Feng Ye?
a*sistant Zhang scratched his hair, somewhat puzzled.
After a while, Fu Jingting finally spoke, his voice a little cold, “Yes, she doesn’t have any of these, so how does she deserve to be Maple Leaf.”
Hearing this, a*sistant Zhang finally realised something, pushed his gla*ses and asked, “Mr. Fu, do you know something, that’s why you suspect that Miss Gu is not Maple Leaf?”
No wonder that in these two days, Mr. Fu’s attitude towards Gu Manyin had taken a sharp turn for the worse.
It was also true that the reason why Mr. Gu was good to Gu Manyin was because Gu Manyin was Maple Leaf, but if Gu Manyin was not, Mr. Fu would naturally withdraw his feelings for Gu Manyin, after all, what Mr. Fu really loved, was Miss Rong.
“In the past, when I was busy, you were the one who received all the letters sent by Maple Leaf, you should know Maple Leaf’s mailing address, right?” Fu Jingting narrowed his eyes and asked instead of answering.
a*sistant Zhang nodded repeatedly, “Remember, do you want me to visit there, Mr. Fu, to make sure if Maple Leaf is Gu Manyin?”
“Right.” Fu Jingting gave a hint.
a*sistant Zhang responded, “Yes, I’ll go to the Two Rivers New Area. …… Wait a minute!”
Before the words were finished, he suddenly realized that something was wrong and his eyes widened.
Fu Jingting frowned, “What’s wrong?”
“Mr. Fu, it’s too strange, Maple Leaf lives in the Two Rivers New District, while the Gu family’s villa is in Donghua Jingdu, these two villa areas are one east and one west, nearly sixty kilometres apart, and the Gu family has been in Donghua Jingdu for the past twenty years, never moved, so now the situation is clear, Gu Manyin is indeed not Maple Leaf!”
After hearing these words from a*sistant Zhang, Fu Jingting’s pupils shook violently, and his body tensed up.
Yes, if Gu Manyin was Maple Leaf, then the address for the letter would only be Donghua Jingdu, not Liangjiang New District.
As he was thinking, across the desk, a*sistant Zhang spoke up again, “Mr. Fu, I remember you saying at first that Fengye had a dog, right?”
Fu Jingting lifted his chin, “Dot.”
“Right, but the Gu family has never had a dog, and you said at first that Fengye had a stepmother and a sister, but Mrs. Gu is the original spouse, and apart from that, there’s Gu Manyin’s handwriting, although she rarely wrote after she was discharged from the hospital, she wrote some words when she was bored in your office last month, and I found that her handwriting was completely different from Fengye’s.” a*sistant Zhang said in a serious voice.
Although he hadn’t seen what was written in Maple Leaf’s letter to Mr. Fu, the envelope Maple Leaf sent had a handwritten address on it, and Maple Leaf’s handwriting was very nice and graceful, while Gu Manyin’s was ordinary and not the least bit special.
Even if a person had been lying down for six years, when they woke up their writing would be rusty and their handwriting would not look good, but as their body recovered, their handwriting would change back to the way it was before, it was muscle memory, so it didn’t make sense that after lying down for a few years, their handwriting would completely change.
Thinking about this, a*sistant Zhang only felt his scalp tingling, “Mr. Fu, the more I think about it, the stranger it gets, obviously these are all suspicions, and Gu Manyin’s performance is full of holes sometimes, but why did we never find anything wrong with it, only now when we think back do we realize the problem is so big.”
Fu Jingting lowered his eyes, silent and did not speak.
What Zhang Cheng had just said made him feel like the veil that had been covered in front of him had suddenly been lifted and the whole world had regained a sense of clarity.
Yes, there were so many flaws and loopholes in Gu Manyin’s body, but he just couldn’t find them, not only him, but even Zhang Cheng didn’t find them either, which was obviously very wrong.
But he probably knew why he couldn’t find out, because of that mysterious power.
He just didn’t expect that Zhang Cheng had also been affected by that mysterious power.
“Mr. Fu, why are you looking at me like that?” a*sistant Zhang asked in confusion.
Fu Jingting pursed his thin lips, his voice a little hoarse, “It’s nothing, tomorrow you’ll go to the Two Rivers New District and take a walk to find out the real Maple Leaf.”
That was the one he loved!
“Yes!” a*sistant Zhang nodded, then thought of something else and hesitated for two seconds, “Then Gu Manyin ……”
A dangerous light erupted in Fu Jingting’s eyes, “I will deal with it, I will let her know that Maple Leaf is not that good of an impostor.”
Hearing the chill in his tone, a*sistant Zhang shivered, understanding in his heart that Gu Manyin was going to be finished.
But she deserved it, who let her impersonate Maple Leaf and cheat Mr. Fu out of his six years of affection.
a*sistant Zhang pushed up his gla*ses, smiled gloatingly and turned to go out.
After he left, Fu Jingting got up and went to the floor-to-ceiling window of his study, looking out at the night, his eyebrows furrowed tightly together.
He wondered what that mysterious power was, why it was manipulating him to love Gu Manyin, and what secrets Gu Manyin had, in her body?
All of this gave Fu Jingting a feeling that his worldview had been refreshed. He had thought that everything was normal for him, but to his surprise, he had been tricked at some point and was controlled by a mysterious force.
Thinking about this, Fu Jingting’s head started to hurt again, and the images in his mind, which were like walking lights, started to flash again, so much so that he couldn’t help but hammer his head.
Chapter 250
At the same time, a sudden thunderclap rang out in the sky outside, a huge lightning bolt seemed to split the sky in half, and the dark night sky was illuminated for a moment.
Rong Shu was awakened by the sound of thunder and sat up from her bed, her heart in a panic, even she did not know what she was panicking about.
After rubbing her temples, she took a sip of water from the gla*s on the bed to calm herself down.
But the moment she finished the water and put it back, her eyes suddenly went wide and her whole body was stunned.
She saw a horrible skeleton suddenly appear on the uncurtained floor-to-ceiling window directly opposite the end of the bed.
Could it be that she was seeing things?
Rongshu hurriedly closed her eyes.
Two seconds later, she reopened them and looked at the window again.
There, it was pitch black, only the neon light reflected from outside, where was the skull.
“Hoo ……” Rong Shu breathed a huge sigh of relief and patted herself on the chest.
It was true that she had been mistaken.
She said that in modern society, animals are not allowed to become elves, so how could there be ghosts and monsters?
It was a false alarm.
Thinking about her blurred vision just now, Rong Shu shook her head and felt funny.
The next day, Rong Shu arrived at the office.
Tong Xi, who was waiting at the door of her office, bent down slightly to her, “Good morning, Mr. Rong.”
“Good morning, waiting for me here, what can I do for you?” Rong Shu took out her door card, swiped it on the proximity lock on the door and pushed the door in.
Tong Xi followed behind her, “I just received a notice from Fu’s Group about the new energy cooperation project, you need to go over for a meeting.”
“A meeting at Fu’s Group?” Rongshu’s movement of pulling the chair paused for a moment.
Tong Xi nodded, “Yes.”
Rong Shu frowned imperceptibly, and quickly released it again, “I know, when?”
In fact, she didn’t quite want to go to Fu’s group.
But Fu Jingting was the main person in charge of this cooperation project, and he stipulated where the meeting would be held, and no one else was qualified to object, unless she gave up this cooperation, but she had only got it so easily, so how could she give it up.
So even if she didn’t want to go, she had no choice but to go.
“Two o’clock in the afternoon.” Tong Xi replied.
Rongshu took off her jacket and sat down, “I see, is there anything else?”
“Yes, Mr. Lai sent you a ticket this morning.” Tong Xi opened the folder in his arms and took out a ticket from it and gave it to her.
Rongshu took it and looked at the introduction about fashion on it and couldn’t help but smile, “He really gave it.”
“Mr. Lai wanted to wait for you to come over and then give it to you personally, but he took a phone call in the back and left in a hurry.” Secretary Tong said.
Rongshu put the tickets into the drawer, “There must be some kind of work, well, you go ahead and get busy.”
“Yes.” Secretary Tong nodded his head and went out.
Rongshu opened her computer and started working.
At noon, she received a call from the police station side, telling her about the results of the investigation into the done restaurant incident.
The answer given by the police was that it was an accident, they had seen the surveillance and no one had indeed done anything to the crystal lamp.
But as to how the crystal lamp had fallen down, the police station’s explanation was that the pillar metal was fatigued.
Although Rongshu felt that this explanation was a bit implausible, it was the only explanation for why the pillars had not corroded and no one had tampered with them but they had fallen.
All in all, the matter was closed.
Hanging up the phone, Rong Shu looked at her still bandaged arm, sighed, and then continued eating.
After the meal, she drove her car alone and headed to the Fu Group.
The president’s office of the Fu Group.
Fu Jingting looked at the time in the bottom right corner of his computer, “Has everyone arrived?”
Zhang’s a*sistant at the side knew what he was asking and nodded, “When I came over just now, three families had already come, they should all be here now.”
Fu Jingting gave a hint, “Let’s go.”
He picked up the walking stick leaning against the side of his desk and got up to walk towards the door.
a*sistant Zhang followed behind, clutching the documents.
When they reached the conference room, the people inside immediately stopped their pleasantries when they saw the two enter and rose to greet them, “Mr. Fu.”
Naturally, Rongshu was no exception.
Fu Jingting swept the crowd, fixing his gaze on Rong Shu’s face for a couple of seconds before withdrawing his gaze, “Have a seat.”
Rongshu followed the others and sat down.
a*sistant Zhang began to hand out the meeting materials, and when he saw the bandage on Rong Shu’s arm as she received the materials, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.
When he returned behind Fu Jingting, he lowered his voice and said, “Mr. Fu, Miss Rong seems to have been injured.”
“I know.” Fu Jingting’s eyes flickered slightly as he faintly returned a sentence.
a*sistant Zhang raised his eyebrows.
Well, it seemed that his message had been redundant.
He had thought that Mr. Fu didn’t know about it.
The meeting formally began, and the content of this meeting was to discuss the specific scope of the new energy to be used afterwards, as well as the advantages and disadvantages, etc.
Although Rongshu had read a lot of books on new energy and had taken some cla*ses at the university, she was still in a state of ignorance about new energy.
After all, she hadn’t studied the subject systematically, so when she listened to Fu Jingting’s lectures, she felt foggy and couldn’t understand much.
She had no choice but to use a pen to write down all the content, intending to go back and figure it out slowly, but Fu Jingting spoke so fast that she couldn’t keep up with the speed of recording, and her hands were sore after a while.
Rongshu frowned and couldn’t help but shake her wrist.
On the main seat, Fu Jingting caught a glimpse of it and his eyes darkened as he increased the speed of his speech.
This time, Rong Shu recorded the speed and finally kept up. She couldn’t help but glance at him twice, although in her heart she wondered how his speed had slowed down, but she wasn’t so self-absorbed that he was slowing down for her sake.
About two hours later, Fu Jingting picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, “That’s it for today’s meeting, is there anything else you don’t understand?”
Although his mouth was asking everyone, his gaze, however, fell on Rong Shu alone.
Rong Shu looked at the notebook she was holding and bit her lip.
She wanted to say that there were many things she didn’t understand, but no one else had the intention to speak up, and if she stood out alone and said she didn’t understand, everyone else would definitely laugh at her.
Of course, it didn’t matter if they laughed at her, but they would also laugh at Tian Sheng behind her back, which was something she couldn’t accept and didn’t want to see, so she should go back and do her own research and try to understand it sooner.
When she thought of this, Rong Shu hung her head and did not say anything.
When Fu Jingting saw this, his thin lips pursed, obviously a bit dissatisfied with her silence.
She was pretending to understand for the sake of saving face.
The men behind her had not contributed much to her being able to make it in the mall, had they?
When he thought of Lu Qi Lichuan, Fu Jingting’s handsome face turned dark, and cold air spilled out all around him.
He put his coffee down heavily on the meeting table and said in a deep voice, “Since everyone understands, then go back and write an analysis of the new energy use and send it to me tomorrow.
Write the analysis book?
Rongshu jerked her head up, her expression somewhat anxious.
She didn’t even understand the content, how could she write it?
And less than a day was not enough time!
Looking at the other people’s stress-free appearance, and then looking at herself, Rong Shu couldn’t help herself and stood up abruptly, “Mr. Fu ……”
Fu Jingting turned his head to look at her, his face was much better, “Say.”
Rong Shu squeezed her palms, “Can I have a copy of the monitoring of the meeting?”
The surveillance in the meeting room was all audible, as it was necessary to record the meeting process.
She hadn’t taken notes on some parts of the meeting just now, and asking for a copy of the surveillance would be a good way to catch up on the notes she hadn’t taken.
She decided to stay up tonight, an all-nighter, so she should be able to write out the parsing book, right?
