Chapter 469
Fu Jingting directly raised his mobile phone high in the air.
As he sat on the hospital bed, he was already a little taller than Rong Shu, and when he raised his hand again, it was even taller.
Rongshu couldn’t reach his hand at all, so she couldn’t even grab the phone.
She had no choice but to jump up and grab it.
When she jumped up, he lifted his body upwards and raised the phone again.
This time Rongshu did touch the phone, but just barely with her fingertips.
The next second, Rongshu lost her balance again and fell directly into Fu Jingting’s arms.
Fu Jingting looked down at the woman lying on his chest, his eyes darkened, and his voice was slightly hoarse as he said, “Rong Shu, are you throwing yourself at me?”
Hearing these words, as if stimulated, Rong Shu hastily lifted her head, “Who is throwing herself at you?”
Fu Jingting didn’t say anything, he just lowered his eyes and gestured to her with his eyes.
Rong Shu followed his gaze and looked down, only then did she realise that she was lying on her back in his arms, and that her hands were still propped up on his chest.
Because of her movements, the hospital gown on his body was rubbed up against her, revealing a tight abdominal muscle, which was particularly attractive.
The redness on Rongshu’s face, which had already dissipated, now turned red again.
She hurriedly removed her hand from Fu Jingting’s chest, then stood up straight and withdrew from his arms.
Because she had retreated so quickly, Rongshu stumbled a little.
Seeing this, Fu Jingting hurriedly reminded, “Be careful.”
Hearing these two words, Rongshu twisted her head and looked back for a moment, then held onto her chair in time to stabilise herself.
So close, she almost fell again.
When Fu Jingting saw that Rong Shu had steadied herself, her raised heart fell back into place, and she pursed her lips and said unhappily, “What are you doing being so presumptuous?”
Rongshu sheepishly averted her eyes.
Did she want to be presumptuous? It was clearly him who had caused it.
If he hadn’t given her the phone, she wouldn’t have fallen into his arms because she couldn’t grab it, and he would have laughed at her for throwing herself into his arms.
Thinking about the scene just now, Rong Shu’s cheeks burned.
She lifted her hand and pressed the back of her cold hand against her face, trying to cool it down.
She had never thought that she had actually pounced on Fu Jingting twice in such an ambiguous position within a short period of time.
The first time she had even been seen to misunderstand.
This time, although not, the shame inside was not much worse than the first time.
And the first time was purely an accident, and although it was awkward, it could be quickly adjusted to.
But this time was different; this time was actually, in a sense, really her throwing herself at it.
Because she was the one who took the initiative to grab the phone.
So Rong Shu felt that she needed to find a place to calm down and cool off.
“That …… me …… I’m going to go to the bathroom.” Rong Shu said, turning around and walking quickly towards the bathroom, closing the door behind her.
The door to the room isolated everything, and she slowly squatted down with her back against the door, burying her head in her own knees.
What a shame.
And what surprised her most was that she had behaved in such a perverse way.
She was not the kind of person who would grab a phone just because someone didn’t give it to her.
But this time, she had behaved in such a way that had led to the throwing of arms behind her.
So she was really puzzled as to how she could be so uncool.
Rongshu bit her lower lip, her eyes revealing a few moments of confusion.
And outside, Fu Jingting looked at the washroom door that slammed shut, his thin lips slightly hooked up.
Of course he knew that Rongshu’s bathroom visit was a lie, and her excuse to avoid him was the real one.
Because she was, well, shy.
Fu Jingting laughed lightly and withdrew his gaze.
He had no intention of asking her to come out.
He knew very well that if he opened his mouth to call her at this moment, she would be even more uncomfortable.
Just leave her alone, in the washroom for a while, to calm down.
When she had adjusted her mind, she would naturally come out.
Thinking, Fu Jingting lowered his head and continued to look at the tablet.
After about half an hour, the bathroom door opened and Rongshu finally came out from inside.
Hearing the movement, Fu Jingting put down the tablet and turned his head to look.
Her face was no longer red, and other than her eyes still flickering a little, showing that she was still not completely calm inside, she had pretty much recovered.
“Mr. Fu.” Taking a deep breath, Rong Shu slightly lowered her eyelids and spoke, “That …… you said before, let me help ……”
“Yes, there is something that I need your help with.” Fu Jingting nodded his head.
Both of them no longer mentioned what had just happened, as if what had just happened had not happened.
In this way, Rong Shu’s entire person, which was completely relaxed, also dared to look straight at him, “You said, what kind of favor?”
“In a couple of days, there are a few important foreign figures’ coming to Hai City, so when that time comes, I want you to be my female companion and accompany me to this social gathering, is that okay?” Fu Jingting looked at her.
Rongshu was stunned, “A female companion?”
“Mm.” Fu Jingting nodded his head.
Rongshu pursed her red lips, “This social gathering, do you have to bring a female companion?”
“For business functions, sometimes a female companion is indispensable.” Fu Jingting said as he lightly opened his thin lips.
Rongshu did not speak anymore, lowering her eyes as if she was considering.
Indeed, there were some social engagements where it was necessary to bring a female companion.
After all, the female companions who could be brought along were either wives, boyfriends, or packaged lovers. She had to go with a woman.
If she had nothing to do with Fu Jingting, if she rushed to go, other people would definitely think that she was Fu Jingting’s who.
Seeing Rong Shu biting her lower lip, hesitating to agree, Fu Jingting’s eyelids dropped, “If you don’t want to forget it, I’ll find someone else.”
“Find who?” Rongshu raised her head and subconsciously asked.
Fu Jingting looked at her in surprise.
Was she very concerned about him finding another female companion?
Why else would she react so strongly?
Realizing this, Fu Jingting’s heart instantly went wild with joy, his hand holding the tablet tightened, the knot in his throat twitched, and his voice rasped as he spoke, “Rong Shu you ……”
And looking at Fu Jingting’s slightly agitated look, it was obvious that he had already thought too much, so he quickly lowered his eyes and explained, “Sorry Mr. Fu, what I mean is that you can find anyone, and if you really can’t find a suitable one, I can also help you with an introduction.”
Hearing her words, Fu Jingting’s inner joy, as well as the excitement on his face, instantly turned into nothing, turning gloomy as he clenched his fist and said, “Introduce me? Rongshu, you are really generous!”
How dare you push him to another woman!
He thought she already had some feelings for him, but to his surprise, it was just a figment of his imagination.
The first time I saw him, I knew I had made him angry, and I regretted what I had just said, so I ruffled my hair around my ears and said apologetically, “If you don’t want to, I can stop introducing you. ”
Fu Jingting looked at her with slight surprise, “You agreed?”
“Mm.” Rongshu nodded, “And just …… sorry ……”
Fu Jingting smiled, “It’s okay, but I hope there won’t be a next time, you know, I only have you in my heart, so what you just said made me sad.”
Rongshu lowered her head and then turned her back, “No more, I’m not going to bother introducing you.”
“That’s good.” Fu Jingting looked at her back, “In a couple of days, I’ll tell you the address, it’s still undecided.”
“Okay.” Rongshu answered.
Chapter 470
By four o’clock in the afternoon, she offered her farewell.
Fu Jingting didn’t keep her, and had the caregiver send her out.
When she arrived outside the hospital, Rong Shu stopped and said to the escort, “Don’t send me off, you go back.”
“Okay Miss Rong.” The nurse nodded, then turned around and went back to the hospital.
Rongshu re-pulled on her suitcase and prepared to go to the roadside to stop a car.
She had just arrived at the curb when a bright black Mercedes-Benz drove over and stopped in front of her.
The car door opened and Gu Man’er got down from inside, seeing Rong Shu, she first stared, then smiled and greeted, “Miss Rong, what a coincidence, you’re coming out of the hospital?”
Rong Shu narrowed her eyes slightly and returned with an expressionless face, “None of your business.”
Her detention had ended so quickly!
Gu Man’er was not angry when she saw Rong Shu’s bad attitude, and her smile remained, “Miss Rong, don’t be like this, we have known each other for a long time at least, why do you have to make the relationship so stiff?
“Benefactor?” Rong Shu laughed.
Gu Man’er nodded, “Yes, if it wasn’t for Miss Rong and Mr. Cheng, I would still be in the Li family, being sparred by that couple in the Li family, not knowing that I was originally the child of a rich family, so I am grateful to you and Mr. Cheng for finding me and allowing me, by mistake, to return to the Gu family.”
Hearing these words, Rong Shu’s face turned ugly.
If she had known that the double she had found for Gu Man-Eng was actually Gu Man-Eng herself, she would never have agreed to Cheng Huai’s proposal to arrange for an inside man to enter the Gu family.
In the end, she would not have been able to gain control of the Gu family, but instead she would have been backstabbed.
“So your thanks is to lay hands on me, your benefactor, then your thanks, I really don’t dare to accept.” Rong Shu looked at Gu Man’er and said with a cold smile.
Gu Man’er’s eyes flashed, and she quickly regained her composure, tossing her hair behind her ears and said back, “This matter, it was my fault, I was also impulsive, how about I apologize to Miss Rong, here?”
“No need, your apology I will not accept, and Li Zhaodi I tell you ……”
“Miss Rong, my name is Gu Man’er!” Gu Man’er corrected with a smirk.
Rong Shu first frowned, then snorted coldly, “You really can’t wait to please the name Li Zhaodi once and for all.”
“What’s wrong with that? I wasn’t Li Zhaodi in the first place, was I?” Gu Man’er narrowed her eyes and said.
Rongshu lifted her chin, “Yes, you’re not Li Zhaodi, but you can’t deny that you’ve been Li Zhaodi for over twenty years, so there’s nothing wrong with me calling you Li Zhaodi, is there?”
“You ……” Gu Man’er saw that she had corrected herself, but Rong Shu was still unwilling to change her tone, so she could no longer keep her smile on her face, and her face changed shape in anger, glaring at Rong Shu, “You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? disgust me?”
“If you think so, I can’t help it.” Rong Shu stretched her hands, looking like a scum.
Gu Man’er’s chest rose and fell violently in anger for a while before she coldly hummed, “Heh, Miss Rong, from the day I was exposed as the real Gu Man’er, you couldn’t hold me anymore, so now you can only take advantage of me verbally.”
“Who said that.” I’m not just going to take advantage of you verbally, I’m going to make you cry out in pain, the last time you put your hands on me, don’t think it’s going to be over after just a few days of detention, I’ve always remembered this revenge, I’ll pay you back twice as much in the future, and I want to tell you, the best way to get back at someone is not to let that person die, but to make that person, lose the thing she cares about most The thing she cares about most.”
When she said this, Rong Shu surveyed her designer clothes and bags, the corners of her mouth curled up in a sarcastic smile, “Having experienced poverty, what you care most about is glory and wealth, when I bring down the Gu family, do you think you will collapse?”
Gu Man’er’s fists on both sides squeezed up deadly, her eyes gloomy as she stared at Rong Shu, “Bring down the Gu family? Do you have the ability to do that?”
Rong Shu looped her arms, “What do you think? I have the Cheng family and the Lu family behind me, and even the Fu family will be at my disposal if I ask for it, do you still think I don’t have the ability to bring down the Gu family? Even if I wanted to, I could have them strike right now, and the Gu family, definitely wouldn’t last until tomorrow morning, and would disappear into the long history.”
If it wasn’t for the fact that the country wouldn’t allow it, she really wanted to do it, as it was the easiest and most direct and effective way to bring down the Gu family.
Only if she did so, she would also be liquidated by the state very quickly, and Tiansheng, which she had developed with great determination, would also be confiscated by the state, and even the Cheng and Lu families would be suppressed by the state.
That’s why she didn’t do it, but chose to use the safest and slowest way to deal with the Gu family.
Gu Man’er had been in the upper circles for too short a time and did not understand many things yet, but that did not mean that she was not clear about the status of the Cheng and Lu families in the city of Hai.
The Cheng family was not in the business world, but in the official world.
As the saying goes, businessmen do not fight with officials. If the Cheng family really took on the Gu family directly, the Gu family would not have the strength to fight.
The Lu family, on the other hand, although only a medium-sized family in Hai City, would have no difficulty in dealing with the current Gu family.
On top of that, there is the Fu family which is stronger than both the Cheng family and the Lu family ……
When she thought of this, Gu Man’er’s face turned blue and white, changing and changing, very ugly.
Because she knew that what Rong Shu said was true, as long as Rong Shu was willing, the Gu family would really fall at any time.
In other words, she really couldn’t P*ss off Rong Shu, and if she did, it would be a problem in case Rong Shu also disregarded the country’s regulations and directly struck out at the Gu family.
At that point, she would be back to the old, grey-headed Li Zhaodi!
No, she could never go back to that!
She squeezed her palm and looked at Rong Shu, “Miss Rong, I know you are determined to bring down the Gu family, but if you really do that, you will regret it.”
“Regret?” Rong Shu raised her eyebrows, then smiled coldly, “I’m just bringing down an enemy family, why would I regret it? So Li Zhaodi, cherish your current life as a Gu family’s daughter, it may not be long before you are no longer a Gu family’s daughter.”
After saying that, she waved to stop a car and left.
Gu Man’er stood there watching the taxi go away, her two hands squeezed so tightly that her nails were embedded in her hands.
As if she couldn’t feel the pain, she didn’t have the slightest intention to let go of her hands. Both eyes were staring at the direction the taxi was leaving, and the bottom of her eyes were full of gloomy coldness, which made people scared to look at her.
On the other hand, in the taxi.
Rongshu received a call from Fu Jingting, “You met with Li Zhaodi in front of the hospital?”
“How did you know?” Rongshu was surprised.
Fu Jingting was standing on the balcony of the ward, “I saw it.”
From his place, he could just see the road.
Rongshu nodded, “So that’s right, yes, I met up with her, she has been released, I just don’t know what she came to the hospital for, I didn’t ask.”
“She should be here to get medicine for Gu Yaotian.” Fu Jingting put his hand back on the balcony railing.
Gu Yaotian had kidney failure and needed to take medicine all the time to relieve it.
So after that the Gu family, would come to the hospital every now and then to get the medicine.
“She’s quite filial, then.” Rongshu looked out of the car window and said faintly.
Fu Jingting laughed lightly, “The Gu family now all depends on Gu Yaotian, once Gu Yaotian collapses, her good days will come to an end, so she is the one who wants Gu Yaotian to live the most, so of course she has to be filial.”
“What you say is also true.” Rongshu nodded her head.
“By the way, what did you guys say?” Fu Jingting narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, “Did she bully you?”
Although he was on the balcony and could see what was going on below, the distance was always a bit far, so he couldn’t see if Gu Man’er had made a move on Rong Shu.
