Chapter 491
“Why don’t we get someone to look into it?” Lu Qi suggested.
Rongshu nodded, “Of course, we must check, I don’t feel at ease until we get to the bottom of them.”
After all, right now, Rong Yuan’s mother and daughter were in the dark and she was in the light.
If not for Ah Qi suddenly finding out about Rong Yuan, she wouldn’t even know now that Rong Yuan had returned to Hai City.
Maybe if Rong Yuan’s mother and daughter suddenly did something to her, she wouldn’t have had time to react.
So now that she knew that the mother and daughter had returned, she naturally had to find out their whereabouts, so that even if the mother and daughter wanted to do something, she would be able to prevent it in advance.
“Who to find out? A detective or ……”
“Let’s find a detective.” The first thing you need to do is to find out if you’re going to be able to find out.
“You’re right, then I’ll go and contact them, on my way back later I happen to pa*s a firm with a pretty good reputation, I’ll do it by the way.” Lu Qi said as he poured himself a gla*s of water.
Rongshu hmphed, “Then I’ll trouble you, by the way, why did you suddenly come over?”
“It’s Tong Xi.” Lu Qi pulled over a chair and sat down, “She said that you were not in the right state and was a bit worried, so she asked me to come over to see what was wrong with you.”
Hearing this, Rong Shu cried and laughed, “I’m just not in a good mood, I didn’t expect her to misunderstand that something had happened to me.”
“She is also concerned about you.” Lu Qi said.
Rongshu nodded, “I know, that’s why I’m touched too.”
“Baby, are you really alright?” Although she said that she was just in a bad mood, Lu Qi was still a bit uneasy and looked at her and asked.
Rongshu nodded her head slightly, “It’s really fine.”
“Then why are you in a bad mood?” Lu Qi asked again.
Rongshu rubbed her temples, “It’s nothing, I just feel like I’ve been tricked, so I’m not too happy in my heart.”
“Who is it?” Lu Qi was curious and went over to her.
The cold and handsome face of Fu Jingting flashed in front of Rongshu’s eyes, and her eyes instantly went into a trance.
He couldn’t help but stretch out his hand and wave it in front of him, “Baby, what are you thinking about?”
Rongshu was jolted back to her senses and hastily lowered her eyelids so that no one could see the expression under her eyes, squeezed the corners of her mouth and smiled back, “Nothing.”
Strange, why did she suddenly think of Fu Jingting?
After shaking her head slightly, Rong Shu hurriedly shook Fu Jingting out of her mind, then picked up the gla*s of water on the table and took a sip of water, before her heart became calm again.
However, this odd look and movement of hers was all seen by Ai Lu Qi.
Lu Qi’s eyes narrowed, and after a delicate glint in his eyes that people could not read, he pretended that nothing had happened and smiled again, “By the way baby, do me a favour.”
“What kind of favour?” Rongshu put down her gla*s of water and looked at him in confusion.
Lu Qi smiled and approached her, “Be my date.”
“Pfft!” Rongshu couldn’t hold back and spewed out a mouthful of water, spraying him right in the face.
Lu Qi’s eyes and nose crinkled into a ball, and he could clearly feel his face was wet, and water was dripping down his chin.
Knowing that she had caused trouble, Rongshu spat out her tongue in embarra*sment and hurriedly drew some tissues to wipe the water from his face.
Only after she felt that she had almost wiped it, did Rong Shu apologize, “Sorry sorry sorry, I didn’t mean to.”
“Baby ……” Lu Qi looked at her with an embarra*sed face and a sulky expression.
The first time I saw her, I was so embarra*sed that she smiled, “I’m sorry, Ah Qi, I really didn’t mean it.”
Lu Qi wiped his face and touched his hair again.
Originally his hair was combed back and waxed, it looked so stylish, just like the big guys in anime.
As a result, she had just wiped the water from her face and hair, so much so that his hair was now completely messed up.
He wasn’t even handsome anymore.
But looking at her blushing and dry smile, he laughed helplessly.
Never mind, she was so cute, what could he do? Forgive her, of course.
“It’s alright, it’s just a little sprayed water, I’ll just wash up later.” Lu Qi waved his hand and said carelessly.
Rongshu got up, took out a clean towel from the locker and handed it to him, “By the way, you just said that you wanted me to be your female companion?”
“Right.” I agreed, but those big shots abroad are notoriously fun-loving, so they asked everyone to bring a female companion. Only you have one female friend ……”
“I refuse.” Without waiting for him to finish, Rong Shu spoke up and rejected him outright.
“Great you answer …… eh?” Lu Qi stared at her with wide eyes and surprise, “Baby, what did you say, you refuse?”
He had just thought she had said yes and was about to be happy when he suddenly reacted that she was saying no.
This instantly made the little bit of joy that had just risen in his heart, turn into ice.
Rongshu nodded, her expression very serious, “Yes, I refuse.”
“Why?” Lu Qi took her by the arm.
Rong Shu pulled her arm back, “Because I had promised Fu Jingting before, and even though Fu Jingting said in the end that he didn’t need me, I still went behind, and even if I went with you, I would still be embarra*sed, do you understand?”
“What? You agreed to be Fu Jingting’s female companion?” Lu Qi asked with a raised voice.
Rongshu nodded, “Yes.”
“When did you agree to this, why didn’t you tell me?” Lu Qi grabbed her shoulders with both hands and shook her.
Rongshu was a little dizzy from his shaking, and hurriedly broke his hands away, “What’s there to tell you, anyway, I can’t go with you to this social gathering, you can find someone else.”
“Don’t, baby, I can’t find anyone else,.” Lu Qi was reluctant, insisting that he wanted her as a female companion.
But Rong Shu was extraordinarily resolute, “Ah Qi, if it was any other social gathering, I definitely wouldn’t refuse, but this time I really can’t, not to mention whether it would be awkward for me and Fu Jingting to meet, and secondly I promised Fu Jingting that I would never appear in front of him in the future, so if I appear in front of him tomorrow, I would be breaking my promise, and how would he look at me?”
“This ……” Lu Qi’s mouth opened, unable to say anything.
Rongshu patted his shoulder, “So Ah Qi, find your own female companion.”
Lu Qi sighed, “Well, you’ve said that, what else can I do.”
Rongshu pulled the corner of her mouth and didn’t say anything more.
At this time, Lu Qi’s mobile phone rang.
He took it out and glanced at it, seeing that it was his a*sistant calling, he immediately answered it, “What is it?”
“Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu Dong is here at the company and wants you to come back.” The a*sistant said over the phone.
Lu Qi frowned, “My father has gone to the company? What is he doing at the company?”
“I don’t know, Lu Dong didn’t say, in any case, you should come back soon.” The a*sistant answered.
Lu Qi rubbed his temples, “Okay, I’ll be right back.”
Putting down the phone, he looked at Rong Shu, “Baby, I put went to my company, I guess there’s something looking for me, I’ll go back first.”
“Okay, be safe on the way.” Rong Shu mumbled, then got up and escorted him out of the office until she saw him enter the lift, then she turned around and went back behind her desk.
Chapter 492
Remembering that just now Lu Qi had also invited herself to a social gathering, Rongshu could not help but smile bitterly.
What was this all about?
Fortunately, she had refused, otherwise, when Fu Jingting saw her tomorrow, he would have thought she had appeared in front of him on purpose.
She wouldn’t have given Fu Jingting the chance to belittle her.
But for some reason, the thought of Fu Jingting asking that Zhang Lili to be his date made Rong Shu’s heart tighten.
She pulled out a chair and sat down, then clicked on the mouse and entered Zhang Lili’s personal social media page.
Looking at the designer bags, cars, shoes, cosmetics and so on that Zhang Lili posted, her pretty brows furrowed.
Zhang Lili’s profile smelled like she was showing off her wealth, giving the impression that she was a rich and powerful woman.
In short, this kind of Zhang Lili is not suitable for Fu Jingting.
Neither her appearance, nor her family background, nor her connotations are suitable.
These two people are simply not compatible!
If Fu Jingting really wanted to marry Zhang Lili in the end, she would have to doubt his vision.
“Mr. Rong!” Suddenly, a knock sounded at the door.
Taken aback, Rong Shu quickly closed the webpage, then hurriedly looked at Secretary Tong at the office door, pulling out a panicked smile, “What …… is wrong?”
D*mn, what was she being fainthearted about?
It’s just reading a person’s webpage, is it necessary to be so vain?
Tong’s secretary also did not understand what Rong Shu was panicking about, and did not think much of it, putting her hand down from the door and returning “Mr. Duan’s a*sistant told me to come over and inform you to go to the office for a meeting.”
“I know, I’ll go now.” Rongshu nodded her head and agreed.
Secretary Tong turned around and left.
Rongshu tidied up her desk, then picked up her laptop and walked towards the door.
By the time the meeting was over, it was already two hours later.
She had just returned to her office when she received a phone call from Lu Qi.
“Baby, I really can’t find a female companion, is it okay to lend me the Tong Xi beside you for a while?” Lu Qi asked.
Rongshu looked up at Secretary Tong, who was sitting across her desk, sorting out information, and smiled, “I don’t have a problem with that, after all, Secretary Tong was originally your secretary, you transferred her over to help me, I’ll ask Secretary Tong for you, see if she’s willing.”
When she heard Rong Shu mention herself, Secretary Tong stopped moving her hand and looked up, “Mr. Rong, is it Mr. Lu?”
Rong Shu smiled a little, “It’s him, he has to attend a social gathering tomorrow and is looking for a female companion, so he wants you to go and be his female companion.”
“Me?” Secretary Tong pointed at his nose, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Rongshu nodded, “Yes.”
“No, no, no, I can’t!” As if she was frightened, Secretary Tong stood up at once, her hands waving in succession, indicating that she was not suitable.
How could she be Mr. Lu’s female companion.
One should know that those who could be female companions were either girlfriends or people with close relationships.
And she was neither Mr. Lu’s girlfriend nor someone that Lu Qi was close to, so how could she be Mr. Lu’s girlfriend.
“Why can’t I?” Rongshu looked at Secretary Tong in disbelief.
“I …… I ……” Secretary Tong lowered her head, both hands nervously clutching the old black a-line skirt on her body, stammering for words.
Could she say that she was afraid that she would covet Mr. Lu even more after she became his female companion?
Rongshu didn’t know what was going through Secretary Tong’s mind and thought she was just nervous about never having been a female companion before, smiling and rea*suring her, “It’s okay, it’s just to accompany Ah Qi to have a meal and meet some big shots, don’t be afraid.”
“Then why didn’t Mr. Yung go?” Secretary Tong suddenly looked at her and asked, “The person that Mr. Lu wants to invite most is you, right?”
Rong Shu smiled a little and didn’t hide it, “I can’t go because Fu Jingting is also there tomorrow.”
Hearing this, Secretary Tong had nothing to say at once.
No wonder General Manager Rong herself wasn’t going, it turned out to be General Manager Fu who was there.
It was also true that it was indeed quite awkward for the former couple to appear together.
“So you should accompany Ah Qi tomorrow, if you don’t go, Ah Qi will have to go by himself, and he doesn’t want to find those unfamiliar women, so apart from me, you are the woman who makes him most familiar.” Rongshu looked at Secretary Tong and said seriously.
Secretary Tong was completely impressed by her words ‘apart from me, you are the one he knows best’.
Did this mean that she had a little place in Mr. Lu’s heart, too?
Even if this place was not love, it was at least some other feeling.
In the end, Secretary Tong still nodded her head and agreed, “Okay, I’ll accompany Mr. Lu tomorrow.”
Her two hands gripped her skirt so tightly that her palms were sweating nervously.
Not only that, her heart was also thumping non-stop.
Because she finally had a chance to get close to Mr. Lu.
Even if it was only this one time almost, it was enough to make her happy, enough to make her look back on it for the rest of her life.
Thinking about this, Secretary Tong lowered her head and smiled happily.
Rongshu put the phone back to her ear and told Lu Qi the result of Secretary Tong’s promise.
Lu Qi didn’t know what he had said to her again and hung up the phone.
Rongshu put the phone down and said to Secretary Tong “He will take you to do the styling tomorrow morning.”
“Okay.” Secretary Tong replied with a mosquito-like voice, then lowered her head and continued to sort out the information.
But if you look closely, you can see that her hands are shaking slightly, indicating that she is still not at peace in her heart at the moment.
It is also true that who would be at peace if they could go to a social gathering with their crush as an intimate male and female companion?
Meanwhile, Fu’s Group.
Fu Jingting listened to Zhang’s a*sistant’s reply and his eyes narrowed slightly, “You said that Lu Qi is also going to attend a social gathering tomorrow?”
“Yes.” a*sistant Zhang pushed down his eyes, “Just now I was looking at the list of invitees to the function and found Lu Qi’s name, so tomorrow Lu Qi will definitely bring Miss Rong over.”
Lu Qi liked Miss Rong, so he would naturally look for Miss Rong when looking for a female companion.
There was no need to think much about this.
When Fu Jingting heard that tomorrow Lu Qi and wanted Rong Shu to attend a social gathering, his thin lips pursed up tightly, displeasure written all over his face, but the words that came out of his mouth were the opposite of his expression, “If he wants to bring it, let him bring it.”
He had said that he would not stop Cheng Huai from pursuing Rong Shu.
Then similarly, he would not stop Lu Qi either.
He also wanted to see which of these two would be more suitable for Rongshu.
He wanted to be more of a gatekeeper for Rongshu during the three years that he was still alive.
As for Li Chuan ……
Fu Jingting’s face froze abruptly.
Whether in the past or now, he did not think that Li Chuan was suitable for Rongshu.
The man Li Chuan was dark-minded and had a serious mental illness, and now he had a split personality.
Such a person was very dangerous.
If Rongshu were to be with such a person, what she would become would be completely unimaginable.
……
The following day.
Fu Jingting brought the Zhang family’s Qianjin to the hotel box where the entertainment was to be held.
When he went in, the people inside, had almost arrived.
Fu Jingting swept a circle of people in the box and finally fixed his gaze on Lu Qi and the female companion beside him.
Seeing that Lu Qi’s female companion was not Rong Shu, but an unfamiliar woman, Fu Jingting’s brow furrowed imperceptibly.
What was going on?
How come Lu Qi’s female companion was not Rong Shu?
Seeing that Fu Jingting was standing still, Zhang Lili, who was holding his arm, blushed and looked at him with autumn water in her eyes, asking in a sticky voice, “Mr. Fu, what’s wrong with you?”
Fu Jingting’s brow furrowed deeper, a trace of disgust swept under his eyes, which pa*sed instantly, and his voice said coldly, “Nothing.”
He lifted his feet and continued to walk forward.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
