Chapter 315
Fu Jingting lowered his eyes, “It’s fine, go on.”
Rongshu put her phone to the side and gave a muffled sound.
An hour later, the lecture ended.
Rongshu closed her notebook and gave Fu Jingting a rare smile, “Thank you, Mr. Fu, I’ve almost figured it out, I’ll just sort out the rest when I get back tonight.”
“That’s good.” Fu Jingting stood up, “Tomorrow morning at nine o’clock go to the factory for inspection, don’t be late.”
“Okay.” Rongshu nodded her head.
At that moment, the door to the conference room opened and a*sistant Zhang pushed in a food cart with multiple dishes on it, instantly filling the entire conference room with mouth-watering aromas.
Rongshu clutched her notebook in her arms, “Since Mr. Fu is about to have lunch, I will leave you alone and take my leave first.”
“Wait.” Fu Jingting pulled her arm, “Let’s dine together.”
“Huh?” Rongshu frowned.
Fu Jingting’s eyes flickered for a moment, “You came to Fu’s for a meeting, as Fu’s boss, there’s no reason why you wouldn’t even be invited to a meal, and it’s just a business meal between partners, you shouldn’t refuse, right?”
The corners of Rongshu’s mouth twitched speechlessly as she looked at him.
Did he mean that if she refused this business meal, she didn’t value the cooperation between them?
Rubbing her forehead, Rong Shu resumed her seat, “I understand, then more hospitality from Mr. Fu.”
Fu Jingting’s eyebrows softened, “It’s not much of a treat, I just had someone order a few random dishes, I hope they are to your liking.”
After saying that, he also sat down again.
While serving the dishes, a*sistant Zhang rolled his eyes in his heart.
What do you mean by randomly ordering a few dishes, clearly these were all Miss Rong’s favourite dishes.
Also, Mr. Fu was really pitiful, using coercion to get a chance to have lunch with Miss Rong.
“Here.” Fu Jingting handed a pair of chopsticks to Rong Shu.
Rong Shu reached out to take them, “Thank you.”
“No need, try the taste.” Fu Jingting pointed to the dishes on the conference table and gestured for her to move her chopsticks.
Rongshu gave face and took one of the dishes in front of her.
“How is it?” Fu Jingting asked.
Rongshu swallowed the food in her mouth, raised her eyes to look at him, looked at the expectation in his eyes and nodded, “It’s delicious.”
Fu Jingting sighed with untraceable relief and also pinned a bit for himself, “Then eat more.”
These dishes were not from the hotel menu, but from Rongshu’s mother’s hometown, the hotel chef had not made them, he had specially asked the hotel chef to learn how to make them now, he was worried that they would not be to her liking when they were made.
But now, it seemed that she was quite satisfied.
Watching Fu Jingting’s entire process from nervousness to relaxation, a*sistant Zhang shook his head with emotion.
The cold and powerful Mr. Fu in the eyes of others had actually become so cautious in front of Miss Rong.
If the outside world knew about this, I’m afraid their eyes would have fallen to the ground.
During the meal, Fu Jingting rarely moved his chopsticks and basically watched Rong Shu eat.
Watching her cheeks puff out as she ate, he became quite satisfied in his heart.
He wanted to give Rongshu a dish many times, but thought she would refuse, so he had to hold back.
After the meal, Rongshu looked at the time and saw that it was almost one o’clock, so she said goodbye.
Knowing that she had to go to court, Fu Jingting did not stay and got up, “I’ll take you downstairs.”
Rongshu wiped the corner of her mouth and didn’t push back.
Because she knew that even if she had excused herself, he would still give her a lift.
When the two of them arrived at the car park, Rongshu took out her car keys and was just about to press them down when a choked voice rang out from behind her, “Jingting!”
Fu Jingting frowned and turned to look.
Rongshu also turned around, and when she saw Mrs. Gu and Gu Man’er walking towards her, she raised her eyebrows slightly.
Mrs. Gu also saw Rong Shu, and her sobs stopped, glaring at her angrily, “Why are you here?”
Rongshu looped her arms and was about to speak.
Fu Jingting took a leaning step and blocked her behind him, coldly looking down at Madam Gu, “This is my place, and Rong Shu is my guest, so it’s none of your business if she’s here, but why are you here, Madam Gu?”
Mrs. Gu didn’t expect Fu Jingting to speak for Rong Shu and choked for a moment, “I …… I came here specifically to find you.”
“Looking for me?” Fu Jingting narrowed his eyes, “Looking for me for what?”
“It’s the matter of Mangyin.” Mrs. Gu reached out to grab his arm.
But when he noticed it, he directly pulled Rong Shu to the side and avoided Mrs. Gu’s hand.
Madam Gu grabbed it in vain and almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
Luckily, Gu Man’er behind her pulled her back in time to avoid making a fool of herself.
“Mum, is everything alright?” Gu Man’er patted Mrs. Gu’s back and asked with concern.
Fu Jingting examined Gu Man’er.
This was that Li Zhaodi?
“I’m fine.” Madame Gu shook her head in shock and returned in a trembling voice.
She then looked at Fu Jingting with reproachful eyes, as if blaming Fu Jingting for treating her, her eldest, like this.
Rongshu could not hold back a snort of laughter.
In this world, there were always people who couldn’t see reality and couldn’t put themselves in their place.
For example, this Mrs. Gu was no longer Fu Jingting’s future mother-in-law, yet she still acted as if she was his mother-in-law to Fu Jingting.
Did she still think that Fu Jingting would treat her as politely as an elder like he did before?
Sure enough, no sooner had Rong Shu’s thoughts fallen than she heard Fu Jingting’s cold and impatient voice ring out, “Madam Gu, what exactly do you want to say?”
Hearing the boredom in his tone, Madam Gu shivered, her mind finally clearing and understanding that now was not the same as before.
She couldn’t use her position as an elder to press him into tolerating her anymore!
Mrs Gu squeezed her palms, her eyes red as she looked at Fu Jingting, “Jingting, I want you to save Mangyin!”
Rongshu mockingly hooked her lips.
She had previously asked her to let Gu Manyin go, and now she had found her way to Fu Jingting.
She also wanted to see if he would agree!
Rongshu raised her head and looked at Fu Jingting.
Fu Jingting felt the gaze of the woman behind him, and probably knew why she was looking at him like that.
This time, he could tell her in no uncertain terms that he would not let her down!
“Let me save Gu Manyin?” Fu Jingting lowered his head and straightened his cuffs, making it impossible to see the expression on his face.
“Yes.” Madam Gu nodded repeatedly, “Jingting, you must save Mangyin.”
These days, she had been begging people everywhere, hoping to save Mangyin, but those people were unwilling, making her hate and angry.
They used to flatter her like dogs, but now when she asked them for help, they would all hide away from her.
But even though she was angry, she couldn’t do anything about it. Today was Mangyin’s trial, and it was the last chance to save her, and once the trial was over, Mangyin couldn’t be saved.
“How to save?” Fu Jingting lowered his hand, his eyes clear and cold as he looked at Madam Gu.
Behind her, Rong Shu wrinkled her eyebrows.
What?
He wanted to save?
Gu Mangyin, who had been silently acting as a transparent person, also jerked her head up and looked at Fu Jingting.
Didn’t dad say that this Mr. Fu didn’t love Gu Manyin and even hated her for impersonating Miss Rong, so he wouldn’t save her?
Otherwise, dad would not have stopped mum from coming to this Mr. Fu.
But now it seems that it is not what dad said, this Mr. Fu seems to have the intention to save Gu Manyin!
Thinking of this, Gu Man’er bit her lower lip, her heart filled with resentment.
Is this Mr. Fu blind?
What was so good about Gu Manyin, why would he want to save Gu Manyin?
Chapter 316
Mrs. Gu also thought that Fu Jingting was willing to save Gu Manyin, and her heart was overjoyed. She also cast a smug look at Rong Shu behind Fu Jingting, clearly saying ‘See, if you don’t let Mangyin go, someone else will save Mangyin’.
Rongshu almost vomited in disgust.
Mrs. Gu’s behaviour fell on Fu Jingting’s eyes, and his eyes grew even colder.
But Mrs. Gu didn’t notice it at all, and was saying excitedly “It’s very simple, as long as Jingting you go and talk to the police, with your status, they will definitely give you face, or even worse, you go and ask the Cheng family to come forward, the Cheng family is a powerful family, they ask, the police will also let Mangyin go.”
“Heh.” Fu Jingting sneered out, “You really think highly of me, yes, I can indeed save Gu Manyin, but why would I do that?”
At these words, the joy on Mrs. Gu’s face froze, “Sh…… what do you mean?”
Rongshu also looked at the man in front of her in surprise.
What?
He wasn’t going to save Gu Mangyin again?
Gu Man’er’s eyes also lit up, and her two hands clasped together in excitement.
Originally, she had thought that Gu Manyin would really be saved by this gentleman this time.
Unexpectedly, this Mr. Fu changed his mind again!
“Meaning, I won’t save her!” Fu Jingting said with a sneer on his lips.
Mrs. Gu’s eyes widened, “Won’t save Mangyin? But you clearly just said ……”
“When did I say that?” Fu Jingting interrupted her impatiently, “I only asked how to save, I didn’t promise to save her did I?”
“……” Mrs Gu was suddenly blocked from speaking.
Yes, he had only asked, indeed he had not said he would save.
It was she who thought she did.
Looking at Madam Gu as if she had lost her mother, Rong Shu was in a good mood, and the little anger she had in her heart towards Fu Jingting had all dissipated.
She had just decided that if Fu Jingting really wanted to save Gu Manyin, she would die with him here, and if she couldn’t bring down the Gu family, she could at least bring him down.
But luckily in the end he was in his right mind and didn’t do that.
When he felt the woman’s eyes behind him become calm and not as sharp as they were just now, Fu Jingting knew that she was not angry with him anymore.
He looked back at her and said softly, “In the future, I won’t let you down again.”
Rongshu raised her eyebrows and then said indifferently, “Mr. Fu, I am not your boss, you don’t have to promise me this.”
Fu Jingting looked at her seriously, “Whether we have a relationship now or not, I want you to know that no matter what happens in the future, I will only stand by your side, this is my promise.”
Hearing these words, before Rong Shu could take a stand, Mrs. Gu couldn’t accept it first.
She pointed at Rong Shu, “Jing Ting, is it her? Is she the one who told you not to save Mangyin?”
Rongshu laughed at these words.
What did this have to do with her?
She had never said anything like that to Fu Jingting.
Fu Jingting wrinkled his brows and stared at Madam Gu in disgust, “It has nothing to do with Rong Shu, it was my own intention.
Hearing the words ‘my lover’, Rong Shu subconsciously turned her head away, not looking at Fu Jingting.
The rest of Fu Jingting’s light noticed her movement, and his eyes dimmed as he let out a sigh in his heart.
She was still unwilling to believe in his sincerity.
Mrs. Gu’s mouth opened and she replied sheepishly, “Just …… even if Mangyin did this, it’s because she loves you so much!”
“She loves me to impersonate the person I love and then hurt the person I love? In this world, how can there be such a reason!” Fu Jingting’s face abruptly sank as he questioned in a stern voice.
Mrs. Gu’s body shook, “Mangyin is wrong …… but isn’t there anything wrong with Rongshu too? And you and Mangyin have been together for a few months, don’t you have any feelings for Mangyin at all?”
“Then let me ask you, if the person you loved was not Gu Yaotian but another man, and Gu Yaotian found out about it and then went after the man you loved, would you have feelings for Gu Yaotian?” Fu Jingting examined her.
“Of course I don’t ……”
The words came to an abrupt halt, and Mrs. Gu looked at Fu Jingting with a red face, looking at the undisguised sarcasm in Fu Jingting’s eyes, she was so embarra*sed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to burrow into.
Rongshu could barely resist the urge to applaud.
Fu Jingting’s rhetorical question was really brilliant!
If Mrs. Gu really loved someone else, and Gu Yaotian was like Gu Manyin in dealing with the person she loved, not to mention that Mrs. Gu had no feelings for Gu Yaotian, she would have hated him to death.
In short, Fu Jingting’s rhetorical question was a direct way to strip Mrs. Gu of her hypocritical cover.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market. You can go back, I won’t save Gu Manyin!”
Fu Jingting gave the expulsion order.
Mrs. Gu was anxious, “Jingting ……”
When Rongshu saw that Madam Gu was about to say something else, she hurriedly gave Gu Mangyin a wink.
Gu Man’er nodded knowingly, then pulled Mrs. Gu, “Mom, let’s forget it if this Mr. Fu doesn’t agree, let’s think of something else, let’s not waste time here, or else my sister’s court hearing will start.”
Although Gu Man’er and Rong Shu’s interaction was hidden, it was still caught by Fu Jingting.
A shrewd glint flashed under his eyes, understanding that he had indeed guessed correctly that Gu Man’er was Rong Shu and Cheng Huai’s inside man.
When Mrs. Gu heard Gu Man’er say that there was not enough time, she hurriedly pulled Gu Man’er, “What time is it? What time is it?”
“You take it easy, let me take a look.” Gu Man’er took out her own mobile phone.
It just so happened that Gu Man’er also reminded Rong Shu that she couldn’t stay much longer.
She pressed the car key, pulled open the door and got into the car.
Fu Jingting stood at the same spot and watched her leave, and only when the car was far away did he reluctantly withdraw his gaze.
If he hadn’t had a very important partner to meet with later, he would have gone with her.
Turning around, Fu Jingting prepared to go back to the lift.
Suddenly, Madam Gu’s eager voice rang out, “Where is your red mole? Man-er, where’s your red mole?”
Red mole?
When Fu Jingting heard this, he subconsciously stopped in his tracks and looked back at the mother and daughter suspiciously.
Gu Man’er saw that Mrs. Gu was clutching her hand so tightly that her grip hurt a little.
She pulled her hand back with force and asked tentatively, “Mom, what …… red mole is it?”
“It’s the red mole on your wrist, it was there when you were born, how come it’s gone now?” Mrs. Gu was going to grab Gu Man’er’s hand again.
Gu Man’er hastily hid her hand behind her back, her heart panicking like crazy.
So Gu Man’er still had a red mole on her wrist.
Why didn’t Miss Rong and Mr. Cheng tell her?
Not far away, Fu Jingting’s eyes narrowed.
He remembered that Gu Manyin had one on her wrist, so why did Gu Man’er have one on her wrist too?
Could it be that the red mole on her wrist was a hereditary tradition in the Gu family?
“Man’er, hold out your hand for mum to see, why is the red mole not there anymore?” Mrs. Gu hurriedly urged.
Gu Man’er’s eyes rolled and she held her hand out, “Mom …… at first I had a red mole, but ……”
“But what?” Mrs. Gu looked at her.
Gu Man’er bit her lower lip and cried sadly, “But it was burned away by my foster father, when I was ten years old, my foster father came back from playing cards outside and lost, he took it out on me, then took a cigarette and burned this red mole off of me, saying that everyone else had a black mole and I had a red mole, which was specifically to grasp his fortune ……”
After hearing this, Mrs. Gu heartbreakingly hugged her in her arms and also cried, “My Manlove suffered, those killers are not allowed to die well!”
Mother and daughter broke into tears.
Fu Jingting looked at Gu Man’er, his eyes dark.
