Chapter 465
Fu Jingting was not much surprised by this answer from a*sistant Zhang.
Because when he asked, he already had an answer in mind.
After a few seconds, Fu Jingting narrowed his eyes and said, “In that case, then continue to have people keep an eye on Su Cheng, and report back to me as soon as there is any movement in this person.”
Whether this person was his father’s murderer or not, he still had to have people keep an eye on him.
It was better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go.
“Okay Mr. Fu.” a*sistant Zhang nodded in response, then thought of something else and said, “Also, there is one more thing.”
“What is it?”
“It’s the Nanjiang Gao family and our Li family in Hai City, they seem to be in trouble recently.”
“What’s the reason?” Fu Jingting asked.
a*sistant Zhang pushed his gla*ses back, “It’s because Li Zhennan was caught cheating by Gao Meiling, and in a fit of anger, Gao Meiling pushed Li Zhennan down the stairs, causing Li Zhennan to break a leg, and now the Li family has completely confronted the Gao family because of this incident, and Li Zhennan is also making a scene for a divorce.”
“Divorced?” Fu Jingting raised his eyebrows.
a*sistant Zhang shook his head, “That’s not true, Gao Meiling is unwilling to divorce, and it’s not like Li Zhennan hasn’t made a scene before, but he’s never managed to divorce, and it’s probably hard this time too.”
Fu Jingting sneered, “Gao Meiling and Gu Manyin were friends before, right?”
“Yes, the relationship was not bad, Gao Meiling even targeted Miss Rong for Gu Manyin, that time several banks jointly chased Miss Rong for a loan, it was Gao Meiling who manipulated behind the scenes, but fortunately you helped Miss Rong in the end, otherwise Miss Rong and Tiansheng would really have been finished that time.” a*sistant Zhang said in a deep voice.
A cool chill flashed in Fu Jingting’s eyes, “Since that’s the case, then let’s help Li Zhennan.”
No one in the circle didn’t know how much Gao Meiling loved Li Zhennan.
In order to marry Li Zhennan, Gao Meiling had even done things that were undignified, so to Gao Meiling, Li Zhennan was her life.
Once Li Zhennan succeeds in divorcing her, she is afraid that she will go crazy, right?
Previously, because he had been hypnotised, he had not done anything to Gao Meiling apart from helping Rong Shu come up with a way to defuse Gao Meiling’s plan.
If it wasn’t for Zhang Cheng mentioning Gao Meiling now, he would have forgotten that there was such a person.
Now that he remembered, let Gao Meiling pay the price she deserved for what she had done to Rongshu.
And making Li Zhennan divorce her was the price that would make her suffer the most.
“Okay Mr. Fu, I’ll arrange it.” a*sistant Zhang said.
Fu Jingting waved his hand, signalling that he could go out first.
a*sistant Zhang didn’t say anything and turned to leave.
After he left, the ward was once again quiet.
Fu Jingting took out his mobile phone and fished out Rong Shu’s phone number, ready to call.
But when his finger landed on the dialing button, he suddenly stopped again.
Because it was already late, he didn’t know if she was asleep.
In case she was asleep, wouldn’t he have woken her up?
Just as Fu Jingting was hesitating, there was a sudden clang from the ward door, as if something had fallen on the floor.
Fu Jingting was startled for a moment, and his thumb was caught off guard when he tapped the dialing button.
“……” Fu Jingting looked somewhat breathlessly at the interface that displayed that he was dialing.
It seemed that God was trying to make him contact her.
Soon, the call came through, and Rong Shu’s confused voice came from the other end of the line, “Who is it?”
Hearing the sleepiness in her voice, Fu Jingting knew that she was really asleep and gently opened his thin lips to say, “It’s me, sorry for disturbing you.”
“Hmm?” At the other end of the phone, Rong Shu was lying on her side in bed, her eyes closed, one hand holding the phone to her ear, with no intention of waking up.
So she also didn’t even hear who was on the other end of the phone and what was said.
Fu Jingting thought his voice was too low and said again, “It’s me, I’m sorry to disturb you at this late hour, I ……”
Before he finished his words, he suddenly heard the sound of long breaths coming from the phone, instantly realizing that the woman on the other end of the phone was asleep, the whole person first froze, and then couldn’t help but laugh lightly.
He was really unprepared.
She had fallen asleep again so quickly.
Of course, it was possible that she was too sleepy, which was why she hadn’t heard it was him.
Otherwise, the moment she usually heard it was him, she would have quickly woken up immediately and questioned him about what he wanted from her at such a late hour.
Fu Jingting had no intention of waking up Rong Shu, he took the phone off his ear, then tapped on the amplification and put the phone on the pillow, still letting Rong Shu’s breathing come out of the phone, one after another.
It was as if listening to her breathing was like seeing her.
It wasn’t until the next morning, when it was dawn and the phone ran out of battery and switched off automatically, that the sound of Rong Shu’s breathing disappeared.
Only then did Fu Jingting himself lie down and close his eyes to sleep.
At eight in the morning, Rong Shu was awakened by a knock at the door.
She frowned, then opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the knocking.
Outside the door, Lu Qi knocked on the door and called out, “Baby, are you up?”
Rongshu rubbed her brow and snorted a little before saying, “Not yet, but I’ll be up soon.”
“Then hurry up, I’ve just gone to the village head’s house to buy breakfast, so hurry up and wash up and come out to eat.” Lu Qi put his hand down from the door.
Rongshu gave a muffled sound, “Okay, I’ll come later.”
“Then I’ll go wait for you in the dining room first.”
After saying that, Lu Qi turned around and walked away.
Hearing his footsteps move away until they disappeared, Rong Shu then stretched out and sat up from the bed.
Just as she sat up, she felt something wrong with her leg, as if something was pressing down on it.
Rongshu lifted the blanket suspiciously and saw that her mobile phone was lying on her lap, and her whole body could not help but stare.
Strange, why was her mobile phone under the blanket?
Before she went to sleep, she had clearly put it on the bedside!
With a puzzled face, Rongshu took her phone out and tapped it, but it was unresponsive.
Was it broken?
Rongshu’s brow furrowed and she quickly dismissed this suspicion.
It couldn’t be, her phone had only been bought a few days ago, how could it be broken.
It was probably because her body had just touched the switch-off button when she fell asleep, so it had turned off.
Thinking that, Rongshu pressed the on button and prepared to restart the phone.
However, after pressing it for a while, the phone remained unresponsive.
Rongshu’s eyes widened, “No way?”
Is it really broken?
But how could this be possible, this was a new phone!
Rongshu was a bit reluctant to accept this fact, so she hurriedly lifted the blanket and got out of bed, looking for a charger to charge it.
If the phone didn’t respond even when it was connected to the power source, then it was really broken.
Rongshu found her own charger, went to the socket and charged her phone.
Within two seconds of charging, the phone lit up and then the screen showed a red battery.
A red battery meant that the phone was at its lowest charge.
So the truth was clear as to why the phone wouldn’t turn on just now, because it was out of battery.
It was just that Rongshu was a little confused, how could her phone be out of battery?
She had fully charged it before she went to bed last night, so where had the battery gone?
It couldn’t be that she had played with her phone in her dreams and it had run out of battery, could it?
Wait, a dream?
Rongshu’s body stiffened and she realised something.
She had indeed had a dream last night that she had answered a phone call.
Could it be that it wasn’t a dream, but a real one?
Thinking about this, Rongshu hurriedly opened the call log, and when she saw the first entry in the call log, she was so shocked that her eyes almost stared out.
Chapter 466
“Three hundred and sixty-seven minutes!” Rongshu almost, the hand squeezing the phone was trembling.
No wonder the phone ran out of battery.
Because last night, she and Fu Jingting had actually talked on the phone for over three hundred minutes, which …… this was simply ……
Rongshu’s lips twitched, not even knowing what to say.
She had always thought that answering the phone was a dream, yet now it was confirmed that it was not a dream.
Most importantly, she actually didn’t feel like answering the phone at all!
“Baby.” At that moment, Lu Qi’s voice came again from outside the door, “Are you still not ready? Breakfast is getting cold.”
Rongshu took a deep breath and calmed down for the moment, “It’ll be ready soon.”
“Hurry up.” Lu Qi urged.
Rongshu replied, “Okay.”
Hearing her reply, Lu Qi left again.
Rongshu took her phone and headed for the washroom, dialing Fu Jingting’s number as she went.
But when the call went through, it showed that the other party was switched off.
Offline ……
The phone was actually switched off too.
It’s not possible that Fu Jingting’s mobile phone, too, was automatically switched off because it had been receiving calls for so long and had no battery, right?
It is really a coincidence that Fu Jingting’s mobile phone was turned off so much that she had to think about it.
I’ll just wait and call when Fu Jingting turns on his phone and ask him what they actually said last night.
She didn’t remember much about answering the phone last night, so she was also afraid she had said something nonsensical.
Putting the phone away, Rongshu patted her cheeks, calmed down a little and began to wash up.
Ten minutes later, she finished washing up, changed her clothes and walked out of the room to the dining room.
Lu Qi put down the chopsticks in his hand and pointed to the chair opposite him, “Baby, have a seat, today’s breakfast tastes very good.”
Rongshu looked down at the breakfast on the table, there was congee, buns and dumplings, it was indeed good.
“The village head aunt used to run a breakfast shop, so her handicraft, naturally, needs no further explanation.” Rongshu pulled out a chair and sat down.
Lu Qi handed her a pair of chopsticks, “So you’re a chef, no wonder the taste is so good.”
“You’re not bad either, you know to go to the village head’s house to buy breakfast.” Rongshu took the chopsticks and picked up a dumpling.
Lu Qi laughed heatedly twice, “Right, when I was buying fish yesterday, I asked in pa*sing where I could buy breakfast, and the village headman said his house would be fine, so I went there as soon as I woke up today, well baby, eat up, the porridge is getting cold.”
“Mmm.” Rongshu nodded her head.
Lu Qi took a bite of the bun, “Right babe, when are we going back to town today?”
“After we finish breakfast and clean up the place a bit, then we’ll leave.” Rongshu said back as she sipped her porridge.
She couldn’t stay here for too long.
Grandpa’s notes still had to be mailed and the company had to be managed by her back.
There was also Fu Jingting’s place that she had to take care of, so she would leave as early as she could.
After breakfast, the two of them locked the door, left the place and drove back to the main city of Hai City.
At half past noon, the two had arrived in the main city.
Rongshu sent the old man’s notes and returned to the car to dial the old man’s number.
Perhaps the old master had not been down to his grave for a while, and Rongshu’s call, actually got through easily, with the old master’s kind and amiable voice coming through, “Shushu.”
“Grandpa, I’ve sent your notes to you, it’s estimated that they will arrive in four or five days.” Rongshu said as she fastened her seatbelt.
The old man smiled happily, “That’s great, thank you Shushu.”
“Grandpa is very kind, there’s nothing to thank you for.” Rongshu smiled back.
“Baby, the photo.” Next to her, Lu Qi, who was driving, suddenly whispered a reminder.
Only then did Rongshu remember the photo she had seen last night, and the smile on her face slowly faded. After biting her lips and hesitating for a few seconds, she still gathered the courage to speak, “That …… grandpa, can I ask you something?”
“What is it?” The old man asked rhetorically.
Rongshu squeezed her palms, “It’s like this, when I found the notes yesterday, I also saw a photo album, the album was a record of a baby’s growth from one to four or five months, so can I know, who is that baby?”
At the other end of the phone, the old man sitting in front of the computer did not expect that the question asked by Rong Shu was actually this, and the kindness on his old face suddenly disappeared, leaving only a face full of shock and complexity.
The shock was that the photo album had actually been seen by her.
And the complicated thing is that the child in that photo album ……
“Grandfather?” Seeing that the old man was hesitant to speak, Rong Shu’s hand that was squeezing the phone tightened, “Grandfather, why don’t you answer? The identity of that baby, is it very unusual?”
“No.” The muscles on the old man’s old face twitched twice before he regained his kind expression, “That child is just a relative’s child, there’s no need for you to care.”
“Is it really a relative’s child?” Rongshu narrowed her eyes.
Although A Qi had also asked Auntie Lu, and Auntie Lu had also said that the baby A Qi had first seen at the Rong family when she was a child was a child of a relative’s friend’s family, and she had believed her, but in her heart, she had always had some unspoken feelings.
Most importantly, she inexplicably cared about that baby, about the identity of that baby, about that baby and why it had appeared in Rongshu.
She never believed that the baby was really just a relative’s child.
If it was a relative’s child, why would Grandpa treasure photos of a relative’s child so much?
That obviously didn’t make sense.
“Of course, who else’s could it be?” The old man’s eyes behind his old-fashioned gla*ses flickered as he chuckled back.
Rongshu bit her lip, “Then Grandpa, tell me which relative’s child it is, I want to get to know it, after all, it was born on the same day as me, it’s also fate, isn’t it? Maybe we can even get along well.”
As soon as he heard her say this, the old man knew that she didn’t believe him much, and couldn’t help but sigh, “Shushu ah, it’s not that grandpa didn’t tell you, but this child, has pa*sed away, so ……”
“Pa*sed away?” Rong Shu’s eyes widened in surprise.
Lu Qi twisted his head and gave her a look, “Baby, what pa*sed away?”
Ignoring him, Rongshu clenched her hands on the phone and asked, “Grandpa, that baby pa*sed away?”
“Yes.” The old man’s face was full of sadness, but his voice was as natural as possible, “The child was not well and died in the fourth month and a half.”
“So that’s the case ……” Rong Shu also sighed, “No wonder the photos in the photo album are only of that baby at four or five months, and nothing after that, it turns out she was already ……”
“That child had a bad fate, perhaps she should not have come into the world from the beginning, otherwise, she would not have let her mother …… forget it, it’s all in the past, what’s the point of talking about this.” The old man took off his old-flowered gla*ses, wiped the watery glow from the corners of his eyes, put them back on again and smiled amiably again, “Okay Shushu, grandfather won’t talk to you for now, grandfather has things to do here, if there’s anything, we’ll be in touch afterwards.”
“Good.” Rongshu nodded her head.
The phone hung up and she put the phone down.
Lu Qi asked again, “Baby, you were just talking, that child died?”
“Well, that’s what Grandpa said, and I could hear that Grandpa’s voice was a bit choked up, so it should be true.” Rongshu put her phone in her bag and returned with emotion.
It had only been a little over four months before he left this world.
It had to be said that it was really a regrettable thing.
And just now Grandpa had also mentioned the baby’s mother.
She guessed that Grandpa should be trying to say that the death of that baby had caused that baby’s mother to be greatly stimulated and something bad had happened to her as well.
“Tch, that’s pretty saddening.” Lu Qi sighed.
