Chapter 497
“Who did you say was getting engaged?” Fu Jingting didn’t go to Fu’s group today, but stayed in the large flat flat where he was temporarily staying to rest.
At this moment, he was wearing a black robe and was sitting on the balcony sofa reading a financial magazine. When he heard Cheng Huai say this, his original relaxation and tranquility disappeared and his whole brow was furrowed.
Cheng Huai looked at the big TV in front of him and hurriedly replied “Of course it’s you, you and that Zhang Lili.”
“How come I didn’t know I was getting engaged?” Fu Jingting’s face was dark and ugly, and the air pressure around him plummeted.
What was wrong with this person, not only was he rumoured to be engaged, but also with that woman from last night.
How could he have such poor eyesight!
When Cheng Huai heard Fu Jingting’s words, he paused for a moment, then calmed down and said, “Jingting, what you mean is that you didn’t join up with the Zhang family, and that the engagement was a lie, right?”
“I never said that I wanted to marry the Zhang family, so there is no engagement.” Fu Jingting pursed his thin lips and asked coldly, “Where did you hear that I was getting engaged?”
“On the internet.” Cheng Huai replied, “It was all over the internet, saying that you and Zhang Lili were getting engaged, so when I saw it, I called you to ask you about it.
Listening to his incessant complaints, Fu Jingting’s eyes narrowed slightly and a cold chill swept across the bottom of his eyes.
The internet said that he was going to join up with the Zhang family in marriage?
How on earth did this false news get out on the internet?
With a gloomy and handsome face, Fu Jingting hung up Cheng Huai’s phone directly, then got up and left the balcony and went to his study.
He opened his computer and started searching the internet for news about his engagement.
When he searched, a large piece of related content popped up, and as soon as the mouse wheel slid, every piece of news about his marriage with the Zhang family had tens of thousands of comments and retweets, and the heat was not worse than the top stream of the entertainment circle.
Fu Jingting’s eyebrows furrowed into a Chuan character, and a cold aura permeated his body.
He was not a person who liked high profile, so looking at the discussion about himself online, he only felt bored.
But with such a high level of heat now, it was no longer possible to suppress it immediately, so he could only put up with it.
Slightly closing his eyes, Fu Jingting pressed down the irritation in his heart, then opened his eyes, temporarily returning to a calm state, and clicked inside a dynamic, and then he understood why, the internet was all going to say that he had joined up with the Zhang family.
It was because that photo, the one with the weird angle, as if he was holding Zhang Lili and looking at her ‘tenderly’, was taken by the paparazzi, who then thought that his relationship with Zhang Lili was not simple and therefore deduced that he was about to get engaged to Zhang Lili.
Thinking about this, Fu Jingting had a faint anger in his eyes. After jotting down a few entertainment numbers, he picked up the mobile phone next to him and prepared to call Zhang’s a*sistant.
The result was that before the call was made, a call came in first.
It was from the old madam.
The old madam questioned in a serious tone, “Jingting, the internet says that you and that girl from the Zhang family are getting engaged, is that true?”
Before Fu Jingting could answer, Wang Shuqin’s urgent voice rang out on the phone again, “Jingting, it’s not true, is it? I’m telling you, you can’t marry the Zhang family, the Zhang family is already in the doldrums, your marriage with the Zhang family will only ……”
Before she could finish her sentence, the voice suddenly cut off.
The next thing that rang out again was the old lady’s voice, “Jingting, don’t bother with your mother, tell me honestly, what is this all about?”
“It’s fake.” Fu Jingting rubbed his temples and said back.
On the other end of the phone, the old lady’s expression did not change in the slightest, still looking like the same serious old lady, except that the hand clenched tightly on the leading cane slowly relaxed.
Obviously, she was also really relieved to learn that the online news was false.
“So, you’re not trying to join up with the Zhang family in marriage, are you?” The old lady’s tone was not so serious anymore, and softened considerably.
Fu Jingting gave a hint, “That’s right.”
The old madam finally revealed a smile, “That’s good.”
She said that her eldest grandson, how could he possibly look at the Zhang family girl.
Although the Zhang family was not as underhanded as the Gu family, it was no better than the Gu family.
So if Jingting really did marry the Zhang family, she wondered if he had a problem in his head.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
When she heard this, the old lady gave her a good-natured look, her eyes full of disgust, “You only have eyes for benefits, don’t you? Get out of my sight!”
The old lady pounded her cane hard, causing the ground to rattle.
Wang Shuqin was already afraid of this mother-in-law, so when she saw her anger, she shrank back and hurriedly ran away.
The old lady saw her go away and only then did she return her attention to the phone, “Since it’s a fake, what’s with the photo? What are you doing with your arm around a girl?”
“The photo isn’t fake, but it’s not real either, that photo was taken from a different angle, so it shows nothing but that effect, the real situation, is that Zhang Lili fell and pulled me down, I didn’t touch her a bit.” Fu Jingting’s eyes were cold as he stared at the photo and said in a cold voice.
The old lady nodded in a daze, “So that’s how it is, since it’s all fake, then you clarify it as soon as possible, it won’t do you any good to drag it out, it will even make others think that this is the truth, don’t you still have to pursue Shushu, if Shushu sees it, it will be even harder for you to succeed.”
Hearing his grandmother mention Rong Shu, Fu Jingting’s expression froze for a moment.
Yes, there was still Rongshu.
I’m afraid that by this time, Rongshu had already seen the rumours about his engagement on the internet, right?
What would her reaction be?
Would she be unhappy?
Would she be uncomfortable?
No, I’m afraid not.
She should be happy, happy that he was finally getting engaged, finally getting rid of him once and for all, right?
“Jingting? Jingting?” Seeing that there was suddenly no sound on the other end of the phone, the old lady opened her mouth and shouted twice, “Are you still there?”
Fu Jingting’s eyes were in a trance and he returned to his senses, lowering his eyes and saying in a slightly hoarse voice, “Yes, I’m here.”
“Remember what I just said and clarify quickly, do you hear me?” The old lady emphasized once again.
Fu Jingting nodded slightly, “Yes.”
“Alright, I have nothing more to do, that’s it, come to the old mansion tonight, I heard from Wang Shuqin that you haven’t been back to Fu Gongguan for almost ten days and half a month, you’ve been living outside, come over tonight for a get-together and have a meal with my wife.” The old lady said.
Fu Jingting agreed.
When the call ended, he put the phone down from his ear and was about to continue calling a*sistant Zhang when he found an additional message on his phone, from Fu Jinglin, and opened it to reveal a voice that was some twenty seconds long.
The voice of Fu Jingting, who didn’t want to listen to it, opened it, and Fu Jinglin’s loud, impetuous voice came through, “sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, brother, brother, what’s wrong with you, why are you engaged to that Zhang Lili, don’t you love Sister Rongshu? You’re not going to change your mind so soon, are you?”
Chapter 498
Fu Jingting’s handsome face instantly darkened.
He would change his mind about Rong Shu?
How could that be!
He had loved Rong Shu for more than ten years, and his heart had never changed, but on the contrary, it had grown hotter and hotter because of the longer time had pa*sed.
So he had never thought that there would be a time when he would change his heart.
Fu Jingting looked down and typed what hadn’t happened, it was an oops.
After sending it, Fu Jinglin quickly returned the voice over, “Oolong? Brother, what the hell is going on?”
The first thing you need to do is to get back to your country immediately after the basketball cup, I have something to explain to you.
“What is ah brother?” Fu Jinglin asked, puzzled.
This time, Fu Jingting didn’t reply anymore, and after exiting WeChat, he called a*sistant Zhang.
“Mr. Fu.” a*sistant Zhang quickly answered.
Fu Jingting lightly opened his thin lips and said coldly “You know all about the online incident, right?”
“I know, I called you just now, but your phone is on hold.” a*sistant Zhang said.
Fu Jingting gave a hint, “You tell the public relations department to bring down the heat, in addition, use Fu’s official account to clarify the matter directly, and after that, check which paparazzi took the photos.”
“Okay Mr. Fu.” a*sistant Zhang nodded his head.
Fu Jingting didn’t speak again and put down his phone.
About half an hour later, the news that was buzzing on the internet that Fu’s and Zhang’s were getting engaged gradually diminished quite a bit and began to be replaced by other news.
At the same time, the official account of the Fu Group sent out a Weibo post.
The news released by ‘Entertainment Pioneer’, ‘Entertainment Quack’ and other major media outlets that our group’s president, Mr. Fu Jingting, is about to get engaged, our group hereby announces that it is untrue news. In addition, the inaccurate news released by ‘Entertainment Pioneer’ and other major media has caused damage to the reputation of our CEO Mr. Fu Jingting, so our group has initiated a lawsuit against ‘Entertainment Pioneer’ and other major media. Therefore, our group has initiated a notice of prosecution against ‘Entertainment Pioneer’ and other major media, please inform us.
Below this paragraph are two pictures.
One is a lawyer’s letter, while the other is a court order for the commencement of the lawsuit.
Netizens who saw these two pictures were stunned and at the same time understood that the Fu Group had come for real.
It was really going to sue those media.
After all, the court’s effective bill of indictment is available, so it can be seen that the Fu Group and a few media lawsuit is determined.
In a flash, the Fu Group’s lawsuit against the several media outlets that created the rumor quickly spread throughout the Internet.
The company’s website is a good example of the kind of media that can be used to make a decision.
Even some of the netizens who had commented on the story also began to delete their comments and unlike it, fearing that they might be involved in the process.
Soon, the news about Fu Jingting’s engagement on the internet was almost gone, just like being swept away by a broom, and became very clean.
But big apologies nearly crowded the comment section of Fu’s official website, especially from those few media outlets, which were even more tearful.
They couldn’t help it, they wouldn’t want to apologise if they could.
But they couldn’t compete with the rich and powerful Fu Group.
Tian Sheng Group.
When Rongshu finished the meeting and came out of the conference room, it was already time for her lunch break.
The secretary behind her, Tong, closed her folder and asked, “Mr. Rong, what would you like to eat, I’ll order it for you.”
Rong Shu rubbed her neck which was a bit sore, “Buy something light, I don’t really want to eat anything else.”
“Okay, then you go back to the office and rest for a while, I’ll send the lunch over later.” Secretary Tong took out her mobile phone and looked for the takeaway number as she spoke.
Rongshu nodded slightly, “Okay!”
Half an hour later, the takeaway arrived.
Secretary Tong brought Rong Shu’s dinner into her office.
Rong Shu broke her chopsticks and ate while swiping her phone.
Suddenly, a message popped up on top of her phone, and she scanned it, her eyes suddenly fixed.
Fu Jingting’s engagement was a fake?
How could this be possible!
Rongshu hurriedly sat up straight, put down the chopsticks in her hand, then held her phone with both hands and tapped on the pop-up message.
When she clicked in, she saw that the media had reported that the marriage between Fu Jingting and the Zhang family was a rumour and not true, and that Fu Jingting was not currently engaged to anyone.
Then below that, there was a screenshot, a screenshot of the clarification of Fu Jingting’s engagement released on the official website of the Fu Group.
So, Fu Jingting and Zhang Lili are not engaged?
Realising this, Rong Shu’s heart inexplicably fluttered with joy and her heart beat faster.
She hurriedly exited this page and clicked on the official website of the Fu Group to confirm again.
When she finally saw that there was indeed a clarification post on the official website of the Fu Group, and that it was still at the top, she was completely convinced that it was false that Fu Jingting and Zhang Lili were getting engaged.
But what about that photo ……?
The first thing she did was to open Fu Jingting’s WeChat and send her doubts to him.
But only after sending it did she jolt awake, her eyes widening.
What was she doing?
Why was she asking Fu Jingting about the photo of him and Zhang Lili?
Did it matter to her who he was taking pictures with and what poses he was using?
So why did she care so much?
As she thought about it, the back of Rong Shu’s head and behind her ears went cold and numb, and her fingers quickly clicked withdraw to send the message back.
But after withdrawing, she didn’t calm down either, because she didn’t know if Fu Jingting had seen what she had just sent.
If she did, how should she explain? The first thing she could do was to send a message to him.
Of course, if he didn’t see it, that would be great.
Rongshu’s heart was pounding, beating so fast that she couldn’t stay still.
She kept staring at her phone screen to see if Fu Jingting would return her message.
If he replied to her about the photo, it would mean that he had seen what she had just sent, and then she would have to think of a reason as to how to explain her reason for asking him.
But if he replied that she had just sent something, then naturally that meant that he hadn’t seen it and she could then say that she had sent the wrong one.
The wait was undoubtedly a long one, and undoubtedly one that made people panic and apprehensive.
During this period, Rong Shu’s eyes never left her phone, until five minutes had pa*sed and Fu Jingting still hadn’t replied, her beating heart slowly returned to its original state.
If Fu Jingting didn’t reply, could it be said that he didn’t have his phone on him?
If that was the case, then it couldn’t be better.
This means that he didn’t see the message she sent, and even if he gets his phone later and sees that she has a message withdrawn, she doesn’t have to worry about anything and just say that she sent the wrong one.
On the other hand, in Fu Jingting’s flat.
Fu Jingting was sitting on a chair, his long and slender legs folded together, holding his mobile phone in his right hand, which was being turned constantly at his knee, his eyes were deep and uncertain.
He was thinking, what exactly did Rong Shu’s message just now mean?
At that time, after reading the online clarification post, he was about to leave the study when the mobile phone on his desk lit up on its own, and seeing that it was a message from Rong Shu, he immediately opened it up to check.
She asked him what was going on with the photo of Lily Zhang.
In that instant, his whole body was stunned.
He didn’t know why she cared about that photo and came over specifically to ask him about it.
But inside, he was shaken and joyful.
Because he could try to venture the thought that she was upset that he was taking ambiguous, flirty pictures with other women and was therefore jealous.
