Chapter 483
Even Lu Qi’s mouth was open, but he couldn’t say anything, his heart was very uncomfortable, unable to calm down.
Baby was not the child of Uncle and Mrs. Rong, but was adopted from an orphanage by Uncle and Mrs. Rong, so how could there be such a bloody thing!
Before baby had suspected her identity, and later went to Nanjiang to confirm that baby was the biological child of the couple of uncle mother Rong, and at that time they were very happy.
But now ……
Lu Qi looked at Rong Shu who had her head lowered and her emotions around her, her heart was a little worried, “Baby ……”
“Auntie mother.” Rongshu suddenly stood up, clutching the box in her hand and asked “What’s inside this?”
Mrs. Lu shook her head, “Exactly, I don’t know, I’ve never opened it, after all, it was left to you by your mother, if you want to know what it is, wait until you get back and open it again.”
Rongshu didn’t say anything more.
Mrs. Lu took her hand, “Alright Shushu, don’t think too much, there are many things that you have to learn to accept openly, let’s go, it’s time to eat.”
After saying that, Mrs. Lu pulled Rong Shu to the restaurant.
Lu Qi looked at the back of the two, and then at the box that was put down by Rongshu, and finally clenched his fist and followed them.
At this meal, Rong Shu did not know what to eat and her whole body was not in a state, even Mrs. Lu and Lu Qi were quiet.
Even Mrs. Lu and Lu Qi were quiet. So much so that in the large dining room, apart from the slight sound of clashing dishes and chewing, there was no other sound, and the atmosphere seemed extraordinarily depressing and heavy.
Lu’s father did not know what was going on and did not like the atmosphere, so he put down his chopsticks and wanted to speak.
Noticing this, Mrs. Lu narrowed her eyes and gave him a warning look, signalling him to shut up.
Lu’s father, who was already a bronchitis sufferer, lowered his head after being glared at by Mrs Lu, picked up his chopsticks again and continued eating without saying anything more.
I don’t know how long it took, but dinner was over.
Rongshu picked up the box and bid farewell to Madam Lu and Father Lu, then walked towards the villa entrance.
Mrs. Lu hurriedly gestured towards Lu Qi, “Go see Shushu off quickly, it’s dangerous for Shushu to drive in this state.”
“I don’t need you to say that I know.” As soon as Lu Qi’s words fell, he rushed after her.
When he chased her outside the villa, Lu Qi saw that Rong Shu was walking without looking at her feet, and her feet were, almost tripping.
His face tightened and he quickly stepped forward, grabbing her arm and pulling her off balance back up, asking nervously, “Baby, are you alright?”
Rongshu blinked her eyes, her eyes still glancing at him, and finally shook her head, her voice hoarse as she replied, “Yes, I’ll go first.”
She took out her car keys and poked towards the car door.
Lu Qi watched her do this, two eyebrows raised high, “Baby, do you know what you’re doing?”
As if she didn’t hear her, Rongshu continued to poke the car door with the key.
Lu Qi couldn’t stand it anymore and snatched the car keys out of her hand, “Alright baby, I’ll do it, you’re not in your element right now, you can’t even tell the car keys from the room keys, I’m not comfortable letting you drive, so it’s better for me to drive you back, alright, get in.”
He pressed the car key and unlocked the car door.
Rongshu pursed her red lips and didn’t say anything, walking around the front of the car towards the pa*senger side.
Because she herself knew that in this state, she could not drive the car.
The car soon drove away from the villa area and entered the busy city, heading towards Repulse Bay.
On the way, Rong Shu remained very quiet and did not say a word.
Lu Qi paid attention to her from time to time out of the corner of his eyes and wanted to say something several times, but in the end, he closed his mouth and said nothing.
When she got out of the car and was walking towards the apartment building with the box in her arms, Lu Qi suddenly opened the door and got out of the car, standing beside it and shouting at her, “Wait a minute.”
Rongshu stopped without turning around and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Lu Qi walked over and stopped behind her, about two steps away, “Baby, tonight ……”
Rongshu suddenly turned her head and gave him a forced smile, “I know what you’re trying to say, you want to persuade me to accept who I am and not be affected by that fact and then do something stupid, right?”
“You guessed it all.” Lu Qi scratched his hair in embarra*sment.
Rongshu hmphed, “Guessed, you acted so bluntly that it was hard not to guess.”
“Then baby you ……”
“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything stupid, I just need time to calm down, after all, suddenly knowing I’m not the Rong family’s child is too much of a shock for me, so A Qi, you go back, I need to be alone for a while.” Rongshu turned her head back and closed her eyes slightly, her voice incomparably tired as she said.
Lu Qi also knew that at this time she needed to be quiet and adjust to her change in status, and nodded in agreement, “Okay, I’ll see you in the morning.”
“Mm.” Rongshu answered and continued to lift her feet to walk forward.
Lu Qi just stood where he was and watched her until he saw her figure enter the lift, then he turned around and went back to the curb.
He had just walked to his car when a figure suddenly crossed over and stopped him, “Mr. Lu, our General Manager Fu wants to talk to you.”
Lu Qi stopped in his tracks and looked at the a*sistant Zhang in front of him, his brows furrowed, “It’s you guys? Why are you guys here at this late hour?”
“That’s none of Mr. Lu’s business, Mr. Lu had better come with me first.” a*sistant Zhang pushed up his gla*ses and returned in a light voice.
Lu Qi snorted, “I’ll go with you when you ask me to, am I that humiliated?”
a*sistant Zhang narrowed his eyes, “So Mr. Lu is not coming with me?”
“That’s right.” Lu Qi puffed out his chest, “If he, Fu Jingting, wants to talk to me, it should be him personally coming to see me, there’s no reason for me to go see him, so if he doesn’t come, I won’t go.”
“Is that so, in that case, then I just have to take matters into my own hands and bring you over there, Mr. Lu.” After saying that, a*sistant Zhang fist pumped twice and pressed closer towards Lu Qi.
Lu Qi’s pupils shrank, his face changed instantly and he stepped backwards, “What do you want? I’m warning you Zhang Cheng, if you dare to rough me up, I’ll …… f*ck you!”
Before he could finish his words, a*sistant Zhang, like a ghost, suddenly arrived behind him, then quickly grabbed both of his hands and clipped both of his hands behind his back.
Lu Qi’s face changed shape in pain as he turned his head towards a*sistant Zhang and cursed, “D*mn you, Zhang Cheng, remember this, when I catch a chance, I will definitely kill you.”
“Just your little body?” a*sistant Zhang looked down and swept a disdainful glance at Lu Qi.
Lu Qi’s body trembled with anger, “You ……”
“Alright Mr. Lu, stop shouting, come with me to see Mr. Fu.” a*sistant Zhang interrupted him, then escorted him towards the road not far away.
a*sistant Zhang led Lu up to a bright black Mercedes at the curb.
The window in the back seat of the Mercedes rolled down, revealing Fu Jingting’s slightly pale, but handsome and beautiful face.
Probably because he was afraid that if he drove over in his Maybach, he would be recognized by Rong Shu, so he had specially changed to a low-profile car this time.
Fu Jingting slightly inclined his head and looked out as a*sistant Zhang untied Lu Qi, “Mr. Fu, the man has been brought in.”
Fu Jingting gave a hint, then his eyes fell on Lu Qi.
Lu Qi was moving his arm, which was hurting, when he noticed Fu Jingting looking at him, he immediately opened his eyes wide and stared back, “Fu Jingting, you asked me Zhang Cheng to bring me here, what exactly do you want to talk to me about?”
“I asked you, what happened to Rong Shu?” Fu Jingting asked in a deep voice as he pursed his thin lips.
Chapter 484
The way Rongshu looked when she got out of the car just now was very different from her usual appearance, and a discerning eye could tell that something was wrong with her emotions.
He was very worried if something had happened to her.
Lu Qi listened to Fu Jingting’s words and stopped moving his arms, looking at Fu Jingting with a sneer, “I said Fu Jingting, I heard from my baby that you had let go of her and were distancing yourself from her in the past two days, so what do you mean by asking this now? What, you don’t want to let go again?”
Fu Jingting’s eyes darkened, “This is not for you to ask, you only need to answer me, what happened to Rongshu?”
“Why should I answer you? Since you have chosen to let go, anything that happens to the baby has nothing to do with you and you are not qualified to ask.” Lu Qi looped his arms, with a stance of I won’t say anything, what can you do to me.
Fu Jingting’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed under his eyes, “Lu Qi, do you think that if you don’t say anything, there is no way for me to know?”
Lu Qi looked stunned, “What do you mean?”
“I know that Rong Shu went to your house tonight, so ……”
Fu Jingting picked up his phone and made a direct call out.
Soon, the call went through and the voice that made Lu Qi familiar came from the other end of the line, “Mr. Fu.”
“Mom?” Lu Qi’s whole body was stunned when he heard this voice, looking at Fu Jingting incredulously, “How come you have my mother’s number and are still in contact with her?”
a*sistant Zhang pushed his eyes down and smiled back, “Mr. Lu still doesn’t know, your mother and our wife used to be university cla*smates.”
“My mother and Fu Jingting’s mother were university cla*smates?” Lu Qi was so shocked that he broke his voice, “How is that possible?”
“That’s the truth.” The a*sistant Zhang spread his hands, “Not only did they go to university together, they used to have a good relationship, in addition, the beauty salon that you Tang owns is a joint venture with our madam, but after our madam pa*sed away, the part of her shares was inherited by our General Manager Fu, so General Manager Fu and you Tang are also considered partners, it’s not surprising that they have your contact information. ”
After listening to a*sistant Zhang’s explanation, the corners of Lu Qi’s mouth twitched, “sh*t, there’s actually such a thing.”
And he, in fact, didn’t know anything about it.
Inside the car, Fu Jingting’s face changed slightly after hearing Madam Lu’s reply, “What? You told Rongshu who she was?”
Outside the car, when Lu Qi heard Fu Jingting’s words, he immediately stepped outside the car window, grabbed the edge of the car window and stared at Fu Jingting, asking “Fu Jingting, you know that the baby is not the child of the Rong family?”
Fu Jingting ignored him and only said to the other end of the phone “I know, I’ll trouble you.”
With those words, Fu Jingting put down the phone.
Lu Qi gritted his teeth and repeated again, “Fu Jingting, did you already know that Baby was not the Rong family’s biological child?”
“It has nothing to do with you.” He finished those words and turned his gaze to a*sistant Zhang, “Drive.”
“Yes.” a*sistant Zhang responded and pulled Lu Qi away from Fu Jingting’s car door.
Fu Jingting obediently closed the car window.
Lu Qi was furious and slapped the window, “Fu Jingting, don’t leave, open the window and say clearly, how on earth did you know that Baby was not the Rong family’s child, and when did you know that, Fu Jingting, say clearly!”
Fu Jingting naturally heard Lu Qi’s questioning, but didn’t pay any attention to it, instead he closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Outside, a*sistant Zhang also pulled open the driver’s door and sat in it, then drove away under Lu Qi’s angry gaze.
Lu Qi, who had eaten a faceful of car exhaust, was furious and jumped to his feet.
a*sistant Zhang saw Lu Qi’s open-mouthed look in the rear-view mirror, a playful smile flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared, looking at the reflection of the car door and looking at the man in the back seat, “Mr. Fu, I really didn’t expect that Mrs. Lu actually also knew that Miss Rong was not the child of the couple Rong Hao and told Miss Rong.”
Fu Jingting nodded slightly, “This is indeed something that I didn’t expect.”
He thought that the secret that Rong Shu was not the Rong family’s child was only known to the two Rong Hao couples.
And since the couple had pa*sed away so long ago, this secret would be buried in the ground forever, never to be discovered again.
But unexpectedly, Mrs. Lu was the one who questioned the secret and told Rongshu about it.
I just didn’t know why Mrs. Lu had told Rongshu.
When a*sistant Zhang saw Fu Jingting wrinkling his brow with a pensive expression, he thought for a moment and spoke again, “Mr. Fu, do you think Mrs. Lu has told Miss Rong that she was actually born to Gu Yaotian and his wife?”
“I don’t think so.” Fu Jingting shook his head slightly, “I just tested her and she told me that Rongshu was carried back by Rong Hao from the orphanage, so I guess that Mrs. Lu should not know that Rongshu did not come from the orphanage, but was carried away by Rong Hao from Gu Yaotian and his wife, perhaps even Rongshu’s adoptive mother, Ms. Fan Lina, did not know.”
“Then Rong Hao really hid it from her, even from his original wife.” a*sistant Zhang said with a staggering smile.
Fu Jingting pursed his lips, “I am curious as to why Rong Hao would leave Rong Shu behind and raise her as his own daughter.”
At that time, the two families had become enemies to the death, and Gu Yaotian not only stole Tiansheng’s technical data, causing Tiansheng to almost go bankrupt, but also forced a technician under Rong Hao to die. But at the last minute, not only did Rong Shu not do that, but she even kept Miss Rong to raise her, which is indeed incomprehensible.”
Fu Jingting tapped his fingers on his knee and did not speak.
The a*sistant Zhang suddenly asked, “Right, Mr. Fu, Miss Rong must be in a very bad mood when she suddenly learns that she is not the Rong family’s biological child, is it really good for us to just leave and not care?”
“I know Rongshu, she is indeed in pain at this time, but she doesn’t need others to care, what she needs is quiet, and she has to rely on her own reason and mind to accept this fact, rather than relying on others to comfort her to accept, others’ comfort is always an external force, it is also fragile, it can easily make her inner rebound, so rely on her own acceptance, inner is the most stable of all, and I believe her, she will come out of it soon and accept the fact.” Fu Jingting faintly hooked his lips and said in a light voice, his eyes did not hide his confidence in Rong Shu.
Looking at Fu Jingting’s strong belief in Rong Shu, a*sistant Zhang shrugged his shoulders and had nothing more to say.
On the other hand, Repulse Bay.
When Rong Shu returned to her flat, she threw herself on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with two unfocused eyes, blinking for a long time, proving that she was not a sentence of a human doll, but a living, breathing human being.
What she had learned tonight at the Lukes’ house had hit her too hard.
It was surprising that she was not Mum and Dad’s daughter, but a substitute for their daughter.
Her identity was a substitute, all the pampering she enjoyed was also a substitute, even her name, was a substitute.
She never knew that she was actually a substitute.
And all that she had was derived from that child, the real Rong Shu.
Rongshu’s eyes grew red, and a tear slid down the corner of her eye and dripped onto the sofa, dampening the small patch.
Then, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly glanced at the box that she had left on the coffee table, thinking that it contained something that her mother had left for her, she hastily sat up, reached out and grabbed the box, then slowly opened it.
She wanted to know what was in the box.
Why had her mother left this box for her.
Soon, the box opened and, to her surprise, it was not a photo or a paternity test as Rongshu had thought, but a CD.
