Chapter 269
Outside the door, a*sistant Zhang was still holding Lu Qi tightly, afraid that he would break free and run inside to make trouble.
Lu Qi, on the other hand, was staring up at the ceiling with a lifeless look on his face.
At that moment, the door opened.
He thought it was Rong Shu, but when he saw it was Fu Jinglin, his face instantly turned foul and he struggled hard, yelling, “Fu, hurry up and tell your people to let go of me!”
Fu Jingting glanced at him lightly, then looked at a*sistant Zhang, “Let go of him.”
a*sistant Zhang responded and let go of Lu Qi.
As soon as Lu Qi got free, he stopped in front of Fu Jingting, “What exactly did you say to Baby after you were inside for so long?”
“Nothing to do with you.” After saying these words, Fu Jingting walked straight to the lift.
a*sistant Zhang saw this and hurriedly followed.
Lu Qi watched them leave with a gloomy gaze, and it was only after they entered the lift that he shook off his arm, which was painfully scratched, and pushed open Rong Shu’s office door to enter.
“Baby, that guy named Fu didn’t do anything to you, did he?” Lu Qi took three steps and walked across to Rong Shu’s desk and asked with concern.
Rongshu was sitting in her chair, her eyes were dazed, and she was dazed.
Lu Qi stretched out his hand, leaned down and waved it in front of her, “Baby?”
“Huh?” Rongshu’s eyes drifted for a moment and she came back to her senses, “What’s wrong?”
“I just asked you if Fu Jingting had done anything to you, why did you launch into a daze?” Lu Qi looked at her with a suspicious expression.
Rongshu lowered her eyelids to hide the complexity in her eyes, “I was thinking about something, don’t worry, he didn’t do anything to me.”
“Then what did he say to you?” Lu Qi asked, rubbing his chin.
The man’s intuition told him that her daze had something to do with Fu Jingting.
Rongshu rubbed her temples, “Something inconsequential.”
“But I look at you as if ……”
“Ah Qi, don’t ask, okay? I want to be alone for a while.” Rongshu raised her head and said with serious eyes.
She hadn’t completely calmed down from what Fu Jingting had just said.
She needed to calm her mind.
Lu Qi looked at Rong Shu and eventually shrugged her shoulders, “Alright, then I’ll go back first, call me if there’s anything.”
“Mm.” Rong Shu nodded her head.
Lu Qi walked away with one step and three steps back.
Rongshu half-held her forehead, her mood was very low.
After a while, she suddenly picked up her mobile phone and tapped into a group of her university cla*smates that hadn’t bubbled for a long time, found a nickname called ‘Lili Chunxiang’ and sent a voice call over.
Soon, the voice was answered, and a straightforward but surprised female voice came, “Rong Shu, you’re actually looking for me, it’s so rare!”
“Yeah, I didn’t expect that I would be looking for you either, Xiao Li!” Rong Shu’s lips curved out in an icy curve in return.
This Xiao Li, was her cla*smate and roommate from college, and although her relationship was not very iron, it was definitely not bad either.
At that time, there were four people in the dormitory, her, Gu Manyin, Xiao Li, and another roommate, because Gu Manyin was arrogant and looked down on the three of them, the three of them also did not see Gu Manyin, so the three of them and Gu Manyin were completely like the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, almost no communication, and Xiao Li and the other roommate were always spitting behind Gu Manyin’s back, saying bad things about Gu Manyin.
But I never thought that such a person who hated Gu Manyin would actually help Gu Manyin lie to her!
Xiao Li didn’t hear anything wrong with Rong Shu’s tone and laughed, “After graduating from university, you broke off contact with us old cla*smates, just now when I saw that it was you calling with the voice, I thought I was blinded.”
Rong Shu gave a mocking chortle, “Yes, your eyes are indeed fancy enough, a text message that wasn’t there, can also be seen by looking at you to create something out of nothing!”
Hearing this, the woman on the other end of the phone who was bręąstfeeding her child, her face froze with a smile, “Rong Shu, you …… what are you talking about, how can I not understand ah?”
She said text message.
It couldn’t be the one from six years ago, could it?
The thought of this possibility, Xiao Li heart thumped, ears and the back of the head are numb and cold up.
The first time I called my pen pal, Xiao Zhong, six years ago, I was in the dormitory, and you were the only one there besides me, so you heard that, right? Heard the date and time that I met with Xiao Zhong!”
Xiao Li’s face suddenly turned pale and her heart was beating rapidly from panic, “I …… I ……”
“You wouldn’t lie!” Rongshu looked at her nails, her voice clear and cold, “I know you, when you lie, you stutter, and can’t speak!”
These words instantly broke all of Xiao Li’s back and made her unable to think of lying anymore.
“I’m sorry Rongshu, I’m really sorry ……” Xiao Li lowered her head, covered her face with one hand and cried guiltily.
Rong Shu listened to her crying, the expression on her face did not fluctuate a bit, still so indifferent, “I, the victim of your words, missed the meeting with pen pals did not cry, what are you crying for? What qualifications do you have to cry?”
“I ……” Xiao Li cried for a moment, and then her heart filled with shame.
Yes, the victim didn’t even cry, she, the victimizer, was crying instead.
So who was she to cry in front of her victim who was cheated by herself and cried so aggressively.
“I’m sorry Rongshu!” Xiao Li apologised once more.
Rongshu snorted, “Say it, why did you do that?”
Xiao Li bit her lip and did not answer immediately, as if she was doing some kind of mental struggle.
After a few seconds, she took a deep breath and spoke, “Because of money, Rongshu, you also know that my family is average, every month, apart from the fixed living expenses, there is no extra money for me to buy things I like, it just so happened that at that time I had a boyfriend, my boyfriend also had a richer suitor, I didn’t want to be compared to that woman, so I accepted the 200,000 that Gu Manyin gave me two hundred thousand.”
“And then what?” Rongshu spat out three words with obscure eyes.
Xiao Li put the child, who had fallen asleep after drinking her milk, back to the child’s bed and continued, “Then I deliberately said that my phone was out of battery on the morning you and Xiao Zhong met, borrowed your phone to make a call, and when I returned it to you, I said that Xiao Zhong had sent you a message, changing the time of the morning meeting to the afternoon, and then said that the message had been deleted by my accidental slip of the hand. ”
“Heh, you’re really good!” Rongshu squeezed her phone tightly, her voice angry, mixed with thick disappointment, “Xiao Li, you know what? I’ve never doubted you, not even a moment before the truth before me, just because we were still close in college, so I believed you in anything you said, but you, for two hundred thousand dollars, you do this to me!”
Listening to Rong Shu’s accusations, Xiao Li sobbed uncontrollably, saying sorry over and over again.
Rong Shu also wiped the corners of her eyes, her expression reverting to cold, “Why did Gu Manyin know that Xiao Zhong and I were going to meet? Did you tell her?”
“I didn’t mean to tell her!” Xiao Li hurriedly shook her head to explain, “I hated Gu Manyin so much at that time, how could I possibly tell her this, it was me and Qing Qing who were eating in the canteen when I said it to Qing Qing, and then Gu Manyin just happened to pa*s by and heard it.”
Qing Qing, that was their other roommate.
Rongshu pursed her lips, “So Gu Mangyin found you and gave you 200,000 so you could tamper with the time I met with Xiao Zhong?”
Chapter 270
“Yes.” Xiao Li nodded in shame, “I didn’t actually say yes at first, I struggled with it, but I couldn’t win over my inner greed in the end.”
“Yes, greed ……,” murmured Rong Shu, her eyes downcast.
The next moment, she clenched the phone hard, emotional roar “But do you know, your greed destroyed my love, ruined my marriage!”
“I …… don’t know ……” Xiao Li’s whole body was confused.
Didn’t she just let Rong Shu miss her meeting with her pen pal.
How did it come to ruining love and ruining marriage?
Rong Shu closed her eyes, and when she opened them, her emotions had calmed down.
She pursed her red lips, “Xiao Li, take care of yourself!”
After saying these words, she directly cut off the communication and dropped her phone on the desk, slightly lowering her head, making it impossible to see the expression on her face.
However, the dead silence around her revealed how heavy and difficult her mood was at the moment.
She wondered, if Xiao Li had not helped Gu Manyin back then, then she and Xiao Zhong, would they have met without any problems?
She would have found out that Xiao Zhong was the Fu Jingting she had a crush on, and Fu Jingting would have found out that she was the Maple Leaf he loved.
Wouldn’t she be happy with him then?
But there was no if, after all these experiences, she and Fu Jingting could not go back to the past after all.
Thinking of this, Rong Shu rubbed her cheeks, gathered her mood together, picked up the landline microphone and called Secretary Tong in.
“Mr. Rong, what are your orders?” Tong Xi looked at Rong Shu and noticed that her eyes were a little red, so she quickly asked “Have you been crying, Mr. Rong?”
“No!” Rong Shu’s eyes flickered sheepishly for a moment, then changed the subject, “Well, you help me go to the detective office to check someone.”
“Please speak, General Manager Rong.”
“That person’s name is Jiang Mengli, she’s my college cla*smate, find out where she’s working now and who her boss is!” Rong Shu narrowed her eyes slightly, a stern light flashed in her eyes.
She didn’t care what reason Xiao Li had betrayed her for, betrayal was betrayal, and betrayers deserved to be punished.
So she would let Xiao Li taste what would happen to her if she betrayed her!
“Okay.” Tong Xi nodded her head and immediately went to do as she was told.
Meanwhile, on the Maybach.
a*sistant Zhang drove while looking at Fu Jingting in the rear-view mirror, torn for a moment, but still couldn’t help but be curious and asked, “Mr. Fu, have you and Miss Rong made everything clear?”
Fu Jingting looked out of the window, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he gave a hint.
a*sistant Zhang’s eyes lit up, “Then has Miss Rong forgiven you?”
“No.” Fu Jingting pursed his thin lips and said back.
a*sistant Zhang almost accidentally stepped on the wrong brakes, “No? How is that possible? Didn’t you say that you and she were pen pals, why did she still refuse to forgive you? Did you not tell her that you had mistaken her with Gu Manyin?”
“I did, but what she really cares about is why I haven’t recognised her in the six years I’ve been married to her.” Fu Jingting lowered his eyes and said in a light voice.
“That’s true.” The corner of a*sistant Zhang’s mouth twitched for a moment.
Quickly, “If I were Miss Rong, I would definitely care most about this as well, I could not mind if you misidentified someone at first, but for six years you did not recognise me, then I would definitely not be happy about it in my heart, but Mr. Fu you did not mean to not recognise Miss Rong, you were just hypnotised, if you had not been hypnotised, I am sure you would have realised Gu Manyin was a fake early on. ”
Fu Jingting was silent and did not say anything.
a*sistant Zhang suddenly thought of something and asked with wide eyes, “Mr. Fu, when Miss Rong heard that you were hypnotized before you couldn’t recognize her, she didn’t ……”
“I didn’t tell her that I was hypnotized.” Fu Jingting lightly opened his thin lips and said back.
a*sistant Zhang was all dumbfounded, “Why?”
Was he stupid?
Fu Jingting propped his arm on the car door, resting his cheeks and said, “There is no need, I told her this, no doubt I was playing the pity game, using her soft heart to forgive me.”
He did want to say that he was hypnotized at first, but after she interrupted him, he realized that it didn’t really mean much to say it.
“This ……” a*sistant Zhang choked for a few seconds before nodding his head, “does smack of some exploitation.”
Fu Jingting rubbed his brow, “And even if I told her that I was hypnotized, she might forgive me, but she still wouldn’t remarry me.”
“Why?” a*sistant Zhang was a little confused.
Fu Jingting’s eyes were deep as he replied “She doesn’t love me, so forgiving is one thing, whether she will remarry me or not is another.”
“So that’s how it is.” a*sistant Zhang nodded in a dazed manner, indicating that he understood.
He then asked “Since Miss Rong will not remarry you, then you ……”
“I won’t give up!” Fu Jingting slightly narrowed his eyes, his eyes were determined, determined to win.
That was the woman he had loved for over ten years, how could he give up!
He must, and must have her!
At this moment, the sudden ringing of his mobile phone interrupted Fu Jingting’s thoughts.
He frowned slightly and took out his phone to see that it was still Gu Yaotian calling.
When he was in Rong Shu’s office earlier, he had not answered Gu Yaotian’s call in time, and then Gu Yaotian himself had hung up.
After Gu Yaotian hung up, he didn’t call either, but he didn’t expect Gu Yaotian to call again now.
Fu Jingting’s eyes sank as his thumb crossed the green answer button and answered the call.
Gu Yaotian’s anxious voice came through, “Jingting, is Mangyin at your place?”
“Not at all.” Fu Jingting returned indifferently.
Gu Yaotian’s voice grew even more urgent and his voice grew louder, “Not here? Then where did she go?”
“I don’t know.” Fu Jingting’s tone was still as cold as ever.
Hearing his indifference towards Gu Manyin, Gu Yaotian first froze, then his face turned ugly, “Jingting, what kind of attitude is this, Mangyin is your fiancée, your fiancée is missing and you are still so calm, you are simply ……”
“Mr. Gu!” Fu Jingting’s expression was indifferent as he interrupted him.
Gu Yaotian didn’t react for a moment, “What did you …… you call me?”
Fu Jingting called him Mr. Gu?
You should know that he used to call him uncle!
“Mr. Gu, I remember last time at Gu’s house, I made it very clear that I was going to break off my engagement with Gu Manyin, Mrs. Gu was present at that time, she should have told you, right?” Fu Jingting said in a cold voice as he held the phone.
Gu Yaotian’s throat clogged up, and it took a few seconds before his voice came out again, “Your aunt she did say that, but wasn’t that a joke on your part?”
A joke?
Fu Jingting instantly understood that Gu Yaotian was deliberately joking, deliberately saying that his proposal to withdraw from the marriage was a joke and could not be taken seriously, in order to muddle through the withdrawal.
But was he the kind of person who could be fooled?
Fu Jingting tapped his finger on the car door, relentlessly shattering Gu Yaotian’s fantasy, “I never joke, I have decided to withdraw from the marriage.
Gu Yaotian was dumbfounded, he couldn’t believe that Fu Jingting didn’t even discuss the matter with them, he was actually going to unilaterally announce the withdrawal of the marriage, and even set the date, this is simply not putting the Gu family in his eyes!
For a moment, Gu Yaotian’s heart was filled with anger, and his old face turned red.
But in order for the marriage to go ahead, he had to say to Fu Jingting in a nice voice, “Jingting, I know that Mangyin shouldn’t have impersonated anyone else, but she loves you too much, so it’s justifiable for her to do so, can’t you just forgive her? After all these years, don’t you have any feelings for Mangyin?
“No, I have never loved her, everything I gave to her before did not belong to her, it was all stolen from her, so the withdrawal is not negotiable.” After Fu Jingting finished, he hung up the phone directly, not giving Gu Yaotian any chance to continue.
