Chapter 25
Mr. Fu?
Rongshu looked towards the door of the private room and just happened to meet Fu Jingting’s cold and sullen gaze, in just a second, she moved her eyes away and let go of the teapot in her hand.
“Mr. Fu, what brings you here?” Mr. Yue, who was sitting beside Rong Shu, also stood up after her, speaking politely.
The few men in the booth were all a round or even two rounds older than Fu Jingting, but Fu Jingting’s hand in the shopping mall was obvious to these people.
The fact that Fu’s business is going from strength to strength, they wouldn’t dare to blatantly go up against Fu Jingting.
Fu Jingting glanced at Rong Shu and walked in, speaking in a low voice, “I know that Mr. Liang is here playing cards, so I came over to say hello.”
“It’s Friday, I have nothing to do, so I came over to play cards.” Mr Liang had changed his arrogance in front of Rong Shu and was now speaking to Fu Jingting with a smile, “It just so happened that Mr Rong came to talk to me about the order, so he accompanied us to play a few games.”
Mr Yue also smiled and said, “Yes, yes, I’m friends with Xiaoshu’s father, and her father is quite good at poker, maybe she doesn’t have good handicap and keeps losing.”
The other two bosses also chimed in, taking the opportunity to exchange business cards with Fu Jingting.
Only Rong Shu fiddled with her cards and was silent.
After receiving their business cards, Fu Jingting walked towards Mr. Liang with long legs and said indifferently, “You guys keep playing, I’ll just take a look.”
As soon as he saw the man’s movement, Mr. Liang understood and immediately gave up his seat.
Fu Jingting pulled out a chair and sat down, only to discover from close range that the high collar of Rong Shu’s jumper was wet, sticking to her white neck along with a little hair.
“Ahem!” As she touched her cards, Rong Shu suddenly coughed twice.
Sensing the coldness, Fu Jingting saw the wide open window, went over and closed it, called out to the waiter and ordered, “Bring in a blanket.”
Seeing this attitude of his, several eyes of Chief Liang changed.
And Rong Shu ignored Fu Jingting’s words, and his people, and threw a card out after he had shunned it.
Soon the waiter brought the blanket.
“Thanks, but I’m not cold.” Rongshu politely took the blanket, tucked it behind her chair and continued playing cards.
When Fu Jingting saw how stubborn she looked, his eyebrows knitted up and a sense of annoyance grew in his heart.
This woman had never even been in a shopping mall before, and she still dared to come here and play cards with some old foxes, not afraid of being eaten to the bone?
Perhaps because Fu Jingting was there, or perhaps everyone else in the room knew about his relationship with Rong Shu, the atmosphere in the room became cordial, and no one opened their mouths.
A few of them even quietly fed Rong Shu her cards.
She laughed coldly and pretended not to understand the cards they were playing, and continued to throw them around.
The cards in her hand were getting worse and worse, and Liang wanted to play, but did not dare to.
As Fu Jingting watched her cough a few more times, his brow knitted tighter, and when Rongshu was about to play, he leaned over and took a card and threw it out first.
As she smelled the cold scent of the man, her head became more and more dizzy and she leaned back.
Next, it was basically Fu Jingting who drew and threw the cards for Rongshu.
Mr. Liang looked at Fu Jingting and said to Rong Shu as if to make amends, “A few days ago, one of my old customers suddenly increased his order, I didn’t tell the business about this, so I signed with him, and only today did I know that your company’s batch of overseas goods is very urgent, so I’m really sorry.”
“I’ll call business later, the contract will be signed at nine tomorrow morning, I’ll make sure the factory gets your family’s goods out as soon as possible.”
Mr. Liang showed such goodwill, and Rong Shu also led the way, “Then I’ll trouble Mr. Liang, cough ……”
Seeing her coughing violently and her cheeks slightly red, Fu Jingting was even more annoyed in his heart, pulling out the blanket behind his chair and was just about to wrap it around her when Rong Shu sensed it and suddenly stood up, avoiding contact with him.
“Mr. Fu, Mr. Liang, the company still has things waiting for me to deal with, you guys fight, I’ll pay for the tea and snacks today.”
After saying that, Rong Shu carried her bag and left.
The high heels made a clattering sound on the tiles, and her slender back quickly disappeared outside the door of the private room.
Mr. Yue didn’t care when he saw Rong Shu leave, and while playing cards, he extended an invitation to Fu Jingting: “Mr. Fu, there’s a wine party tomorrow night at seven, do you have time to go there and try some good wine?”
“I have something to do tomorrow night.” Fu Jingting said indifferently, drawing his cards without looking at them and standing up.
He swept a glance over the few people at the poker table, Liang, his gaze was incomparably sharp and his voice was deep, “My ex-wife, Fu, even if her poker skills are bad, is not something anyone can bully, Yue, what do you think?”
“Yes, yes ……” Chief Yue forced out a smile, “You misunderstood, Mr. Fu, we didn’t bully Miss Rong.”
“About that plan that Mr. Yue said about building a resort in the North District, I read it and I’m not interested.” Fu Jingting threw his cards on the card table, his expression faint, “Mr. Yue should go and look for a new partner.”
The man picked up his jacket and left in stride.
Liang pushed away the cards played by Fu Jingting and was shocked when he looked at them, “Rongshu’s cards are so bad, but after Fu took over, he was able to draw himself a clear colour ……”
And Mr. Yue sat down in his chair like a jerk, “Didn’t they get divorced?”
Yup.
Several people looked at me, I looked at you, with complicated faces.
Everyone outside knew about Fu Jingting’s marriage to Rong Shu, which was shattered and broken, but just now anyone could see that Fu Jingting was protecting this ex-wife of his.
When Rong Shu came out of the private room and saw that it was still raining, she went to ask the receptionist for an umbrella.
It was not only raining heavily outside, it was also cold, and when Rongshu was blown by the cold wind, she coughed even harder.
Feeling the coldness in the woman’s hand, Fu Jingting’s eyes sank, “You can’t drive like this, I’ll take you back.”
“Mr. Fu, let go.” Rong Shu pulled out her hand and said coldly, “Even if I can’t drive, I can still hire a chauffeur, I don’t need to bother you!”
The old Rong Shu was meek and virtuous, and she didn’t speak like this, saying “Mr. Fu” in the same breath, full of thorns.
“Rongshu, we are just divorced, I am not your enemy.” Fu Jingting took out his patience to talk to her, “You can tell me what you need, there’s no need to condescend to come here to play cards with Mr. Liang.”
Rong Shu pulled her lips and laughed coldly, “Compared to the grievances she suffered in her marriage before, all this today, is just a small thing.”
At that moment, Rong Shu’s mobile phone rang.
She ignored Fu Jingting and fished out her phone to see that it was Lu Qi’s. She quickly answered the phone, “Hello, have you finished with your company?”
“Not yet, I’ve gone to Nanjiang on a business trip and won’t be back until next Wednesday.”
“Well, that’s fine, you go ahead.” Rongshu said and coughed twice more, “Zongshi will sign the contract with us tomorrow.”
“Didn’t they say they’d wait for me to return to deal with it, did they bully you?”
“Hmm.”
Fu Jingting was standing right next to Rong Shu, even if Rong Shu’s phone was not on amplification, he could vaguely hear their conversation.
He watched as Rongshu pampered Lu Qi with impunity, asking Lu Qi to help her bring back two new items from a brand shop, which was a far cry from her previous meek self.
Chapter 26
Standing by the side of the car and talking in the cold breeze, Rong Shu’s head was a little dizzy and she swayed on her feet.
Fu Jingting’s eyes sank and he took the phone from Rong Shu’s hand and hung up, picking her up and going to the other side of the car.
The umbrella almost flew out of her hand, and she tugged on the man’s shirt with one hand, her face slightly cold.
“Fu Jingting, put me down!”
Fu Jingting paid no attention, pulling open the pa*senger side and shoving her in.
“Mr. Fu, have you made enough noise?” Seeing that the man went to pull the seat belt, Rong Shu coldly said, “I can find a chauffeur, no need for you to care!”
After six years of marriage, Fu Jingting had only spoken to her a handful of times, not to mention caring for her, but after the divorce, in just a few days, she had met with Fu Jingting several times.
When did Haicheng become so small?
When Fu Jingting saw her face full of hard feelings and a stubborn look, he became more and more annoyed in his heart, “The weather is so bad, you placed an order and no one will pick it up.”
“It’s my business whether I get an appointment or not.”
“Rong Shu.” The man leaned down and pressed closer towards Rong Shu, his cold breath wrapped around her, his eyes cold and heavy, “Must you be so stubborn?”
The space inside the car was small, and once he pressed over, there was nowhere for Rongshu to hide.
Her face grew colder and colder as she tried to speak, but when she glanced at the man’s back, she noticed that he couldn’t use an umbrella when he carried her inside the car, and it was raining heavily outside, so most of his back was drenched.
The rain was pouring down outside and half of his back was drenched.
Fu Jingting glanced at her and continued to pull the seat belt over, but because he was close, his fingers accidentally brushed against Rong Shu’s heaving chest.
“……” Both of them froze.
Rongshu reacted first, yanking the seat belt from his hand and inserting it into the safety buckle.
The knot in Fu Jingting’s throat rolled, “I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay, I’m clear that Mr. Fu didn’t mean it.” Rongshu thought of what Mr. Yue had said during the poker game just now and could not help but mock Fu Jingting, “Mr. Fu is a rare “saint” in a thousand years!”
Faced with the woman’s cold words, Fu Jingting only wrinkled his eyebrows and quickly got into the driver’s seat and started the car.
Fu Jingting asked, “Where do you live?”
“Shallow Water Bay.” Rongshu returned coldly, looking out of the window with her cheeks propped up.
Neither of them spoke again, and the car was dead silent, with only the faint swaying of the windshield wipers.
Rongshu had been soaked in the rain and was very uncomfortable.
Now that she was in the car, the heat was blowing, and she was alternately hot and cold, so she fell back into the seat in a short while.
The car had already arrived at Repulse Bay, but Fu Jingting didn’t know which building Rong Shu lived in, and seeing that her face was flushed, he guessed that she had caught a cold.
“Rongshu.” Fu Jingting patted the woman’s cheek, “Take the cold medicine.”
After shouting several times, seeing that Rongshu was still unresponsive and coughed a few times, he took the medicine, then cupped the woman’s jaw and forcibly fed the cold medicine into her mouth.
Rong Shu’s lips were a little cold, but very soft, with some temptation / confusion, so that Fu Jingting could hardly control himself, repeatedly deep.
The phone on the armrest of the car vibrated.
He swept over Rong Shu’s slightly swollen lips before he realized what he had just done.
“Jingting, have you finished talking about your collaboration?” Gu Manyin’s soft voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Mm.”
“Then come pick me and my aunt up from the Ole Mall.” Gu Manyin said, “I was out shopping with my aunt, but I didn’t expect it to suddenly rain heavily, and the driver went to pick up Xiao Lin from school, so I couldn’t leave, so I called you.”
Fu Jingting glanced at Rong Shu in the pa*senger seat and said in a low voice, “Okay, I’ll be there in fifteen minutes.”
“Then you take care of yourself on the way.”
There was a faint smell of perfume in the car, a perfume that Rong Shu often used, and the more Fu Jingting smelled it, the more irritated he became.
He got out of the car with his umbrella and called Zhang’s a*sistant, informing him that he was at the south gate of Repulse Bay.
About five minutes later, Zhang’s a*sistant drove up.
“Mr. Fu.” a*sistant Zhang came over with his clothes and was a little surprised to see Fu Jingting standing by the car, then took a look at the car behind him.
Huh, isn’t this Miss Rong’s car?
Fu Jingting took the clothes and the car keys, glancing at the car behind him, his eyes deep, “You take her car, take the person to the Grand Hyatt Hotel, and then have the waiter take her temperature.”
“Okay.” a*sistant Zhang didn’t ask too many questions and answered.
……
Fu Jingting drove to the outlet mall, occasionally remembering Rong Shu’s stubborn look and her cold but soft lips, his heart irritated by the thought.
The windows of the car were lowered a bit and the cold breeze blew for a while before it became more comfortable.
After arriving at the outlet mall, Fu Jingting soon saw Gu Manyin and Fu’s mother standing at the entrance, both of them carrying several shopping bags in their hands.
He hit the umbrella and got out of the car and quickly walked over, “It’s so cold, why don’t you wait inside.”
When Gu Manyin saw him coming, a light smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, “I just came out with my aunt, and I didn’t expect you to come.”
Wang Shuqin sn*ggered, “You didn’t just come out, Mangyin knew you were coming and came out to wait for you! Don’t look at all the things she bought, she only bought a coat for herself, the rest are all clothes she bought for you.”
“Auntie mother.” Gu Manyin’s cheeks reddened slightly at the comment, “If you say that again, Jing Ting will think I’m not at all reserved.”
“Aiya, we’re all family now, are you still so polite to call me auntie?”
At these words, Gu Manyin’s face became even redder.
“It’s cold outside, get in the car first.” Fu Jingting said, taking the shopping bag in Gu Manyin’s hand and propping the umbrella on top of her head.
After Gu Manyin got into the car, he went to pick up Wang Shuqin.
After Wang Shuqin got into the car, she said, “Mangyin, look how protective Jingting is of you, he let you get into the car first and then came to pick me up as his mother, ouch yo yo, he’s really biased.
The smile on the corner of Gu Manyin’s mouth grew thicker, fearing that she would be teased by Wang Shuqin again, she changed the subject and went to ask Fu Jingting, “This is a*sistant Zhang’s car, right?”
“Mm.” Fu Jingting’s eyes moved and he said in a low voice, “a*sistant Zhang sent my car to the 4s shop for maintenance.”
“No wonder you drove his car to pick me and my aunt up.”
At this time, Wang Shuqin also interjected, “I heard Mangyin say that you were talking to someone at the Red Plum Villa about cooperation, and also to bring Mangyin the traditional dim sum there, dim sum you bought a few boxes, let me also try.”
At that time, Fu Jingting wanted to make sure that the person in Liang’s private room was not Rong Shu, and then he followed Rong Shu to leave the Villa.
The matter of buying dim sum was forgotten.
Fu Jingting said, “I was too busy talking about business and forgot, I have their boss’s number, so I’ll have them send a few boxes to the house tomorrow.”
“Look at you, really.” Wang Shuqin counted him out, “Mangyin comes out shopping and remembers you all the time, buying you this and that, but you even forget to buy people snacks.”
After the count, she took Gu Manyin’s hand and smiled, “Mangyin, let’s have dinner at your auntie’s house tonight, you’ve only just recovered, so your auntie will make soup for you.”
Gu Manyin smiled lightly, “Thank you, auntie.”
At this moment, the mobile phone in her bag vibrated a few times.
Gu Manyin fished it out to check, and when she saw the content of the WeChat and the picture, the smile on her face froze.
