Chapter 499
Yes, jealous.
He could feel it in the words that Rongshu sent over at the time, tinged with jealousy.
The most convincing thing was the fact that she had quickly retracted it after asking.
This act had the appearance of her realising that she had sent something she shouldn’t have and was afraid that he would see it.
So, did this mean that she was really starting to care about him?
After thinking that Rong Shu might be starting to have feelings for him, Fu Jingting was not happy, instead his brow was furrowed tightly, his face was tense, and a low aura permeated his body.
When Rongshu began to care for him, he should have been happy.
But heaven forbid that she should begin to feel something for him when her life was not long in coming.
Fu Jingting looked down at his fragile heart and a trace of gloom flashed under his eyes.
He admitted that his heart, which had gradually turned into a pool of stagnant water, had regained a little bit of life after realising that Rongshu might have started to have feelings for him.
And this life had indirectly given him the idea that he wanted to live and to be with Rongshu forever.
In the beginning, he had been in a state of going with the flow about finding his heart, because he knew he wouldn’t find it, knew he would end up dead, and knew that Rongshu didn’t feel anything for him, so he had decided to let go of Rongshu and then accept death openly himself.
But now that Rongshu had feelings for him, it wasn’t like him to die, he wanted to find the heart, he wanted to live!
Just finding the heart, it’s too hard ……
At that moment, the phone rang.
Fu Jingting temporarily pushed down the emotions that were churning inside him for now and answered the call, “Speak.”
“Mr. Fu, the online matter, has been dealt with cleanly, three days later, our group’s legal department, will hold court with those few media.” a*sistant Zhang reported.
Fu Jingting nodded slightly, “Mm.”
“Also, I’ve found the paparazzo who took the photos, he’s not under any of the media outlets, but is working alone.” a*sistant Zhang said as he pushed down his gla*ses.
Fu Jingting narrowed his eyes, “Which media did he sell the photos to, in the beginning?”
“No, the photos he didn’t buy to the media, but sold them to Zhang Lili.”
“Zhang Lili?” Fu Jingting’s thin lips pursed, “How could he sell it to her?”
“Because it was Zhang Lili who had the paparazzi take the photos.” According to the paparazzo’s own words, Zhang Lili found him before the party and asked him to lurk outside the hotel, then took pictures of you and Zhang Lili in an intimate position, and gave him 100,000 yuan when he captured them. ”
Fu Jingting squeezed his phone tightly, as if he wanted to crush it, his eyes were written with anger, “So that’s how it is.”
He had thought that the photo had just been taken like that by accident.
But unexpectedly, it was actually deliberately calculated by someone.
Good for you, the Zhang family is really good!
After all, you never read entertainment gossip, so as long as no one tells you about the online gossip, you won’t know about your ‘engagement’ with Zhang Lili, so naturally you won’t respond with clarification. In this way, people on the internet and in the circle will believe that you are really engaged, and the stock market of Zhang’s group will rise on the big ship of Fu’s, and some cooperation will follow.”
Even if you clarify that you and Zhang Lili are not engaged, and that the two families have no intention of marrying, the Zhang family’s stock market will not rise, but the Zhang family will not lose money, after all, it was you who took Zhang Lili to a dinner party, and then you were photographed and rumored to be engaged by the media. netizens, will then make mocking noises about Zhang Lili, and then Zhang Shengguo will ask you to compensate Zhang Lili on the grounds that Zhang Lili’s reputation has been damaged.”
“I know.” Fu Jingting lifted his chin, his handsome face as dark as ink, “If I hadn’t let you investigate the truth behind it, Zhang Shengguo’s plan would have succeeded.”
“Yes.” a*sistant Zhang nodded, “If we didn’t know that the scandal was designed by the Zhang family, you would have compensated Lily Zhang and Zhang Shengguo would have offered to re-cooperate and you would have agreed, so this was a really good move by the Zhang family, no matter which way it went it was a win-win in the end, but unfortunately, ah, the Zhang family met you, Mr. Fu.”
Mr Fu knows the truth behind this, so Zhang Shengguo is doomed to fail.
But in contrast, without Fu knowing, Zhang Shengguo would succeed.
However, he felt that there could not be a time when Mr. Fu did not know, and Mr. Fu tended to investigate whatever was going on, always to the bottom, never back to just the superficial surface.
So no matter how Zhang Shengguo went, he would not succeed.
“The Zhang family will be left to you to sort out, you can do that, right?” Fu Jingting’s fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop.
He tapped very slowly, but the sound was extraordinarily loud in the large study, one at a time, as if it was knocking on the heart, making one’s heart contract.
a*sistant Zhang pushed his gla*ses and smiled, “Of course I can, I will give you a satisfactory answer to Mr. Fu.”
“Very well.” Fu Jingting nodded, “Also, you have someone go to the hotel last night and make a copy of the surveillance at the entrance to clarify the wrong angle of that photo.”
He wanted to let Rong Shu know that he and Zhang Lili, did not have any intimate actions.
That photo, was a misunderstanding.
“Yes, Mr. Fu.” a*sistant Zhang nodded his head and was about to hang up the phone.
Fu Jingting suddenly thought of something and hurriedly shouted, “Wait a minute.”
“Does Mr. Fu have any more orders?” a*sistant Zhang put the phone back to his ear and asked.
Fu Jingting pinched the bridge of his nose, “How’s the heart search going?”
“Sorry Mr. Fu, it’s the same as always, there’s no news.” a*sistant Zhang lowered his eyes and said back in shame.
Fu Jingting did not lose any heart at this result, and gave a hmph, sort of knowing, “Have someone run to a few more countries, don’t just focus on those few organ banks.”
Hearing this, a*sistant Zhang’s eyes lit up, and a surprised smile appeared on his face, “General Fu, are you …… having a desire to live?”
Although Mr. Fu asked him to find the heart, Mr. Fu never asked how the heart search was going, and he wasn’t even anxious for himself at all.
The reason is that he could see that Mr. Fu did not have a strong desire to live.
It was just a get-it-done kind of mentality.
For this reason, he also felt very troubled and wanted to persuade Mr. Fu, but was unable to do so.
But I didn’t expect that now, Mr. Fu would take the initiative to care about finding a heart, which simply made people not too happy.
In response to a*sistant Zhang’s question, Fu Jingting did not answer, neither did he admit nor deny, he just said “Order it down.”
“Yes!” a*sistant Zhang answered excitedly, “I will ask them to go to a few more countries, don’t worry Mr. Fu, I will definitely find the heart for you.”
Not to mention going to a few more countries, as long as Mr. Fu was willing to live.
He would have his people run through every organ bank and every hospital in the world.
Even a primitive tribe would do.
Hanging up the phone, Fu Jingting put it down, then stood up, poured a gla*s of red wine before walking towards the balcony of his study, looking out, his eyes deep and dark, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Soon, the official website of Fu’s Group released the content again, this time without any text, and directly posted a video up.
The netizens were puzzled and clicked on the video, and then understood what the reason for this operation by the Fu Group was.
It told the crowd that the photo was not at all as intimate as they saw it, but a matter of perspective.
The real angle was actually Zhang Lili picking on Fu Jingting, while Fu Jingting looked down at her in disgust.
Chapter 500
In a flash, netizens laughed.
“Absolutely, absolutely, so this is the real situation, the photo is fake ah.”
“Where are those people who said that absolute love is so sweet? Come out and hit their faces!”
“I told you, although Zhang Lili is also the daughter of a rich family, but this rich family is almost bankrupt, and Zhang Lili often shows off her wealth online, her words and actions are just like a thug, no substance at all, how can the president of the titled Fu Group, the head of the Fu family, have such poor vision and fall for this kind of woman.”
Looking at these netizens’ comments, Rong Shu subconsciously nodded her head.
That’s right, she thought so too.
If Fu Jingting liked Zhang Lili, then it would mean that Fu Jingting really had no vision.
But fortunately, his vision was still on line.
As she thought about it, the corners of Rong Shu’s mouth curled up slightly, and the last bit of concern in her heart, the bit of concern for that photo, faded away after watching the video that had just been released on the official website of the Fu Group.
But it was strange to say that not long after she had asked Fu Jingting what that photo was about, the Fu Group had released a video clarifying the misunderstanding of the photo.
Was it a coincidence?
Rongshu pursed her red lips, then dismissed the suspicion.
It shouldn’t be, Fu Jingting hadn’t seen the question she had posted, so it should be a coincidence.
As she was thinking, her phone suddenly rang.
Rongshu collected her thoughts and tilted her head to look at the phone next to her.
Seeing that it was Lu Qi calling, she let go of the mouse and picked up the phone, “Ah Qi.”
“Baby.” Lu Qi’s distracted voice came from the phone.
Rongshu tilted her head in confusion, “What’s wrong with you?”
“It’s not Fu Jingting!” Lu Qi scratched his hair in annoyance, “Didn’t the news of his upcoming engagement to Zhang Lili come out earlier? I was so happy that I was going to prepare gifts to wish them a long and happy life at their engagement party, but before I could prepare the gifts, Fu Jingting actually clarified that the news was false. ”
He and Fu Jingting were also considered love rivals.
As a love rival, he naturally wanted Fu Jingting to be with another woman.
Because then, Fu Jingting couldn’t be pestering Baby anymore.
Although Fu Jingting had said that he would let go of Baby, who knew if it was true?
So only when Fu Jingting was with another woman did he believe that Fu Jingting was for real.
But what was the result?
Lu Qi laughed coldly twice in his heart.
If it were you, would you like to be surrounded by scandals?”
“Of course I don’t like it, but it’s not the same.” Lu Qi said as he scratched the back of his head.
Rongshu grunted, “What’s different?”
“Of course it’s …… not right baby!” Lu Qi said halfway through the sentence, suddenly realized what, his expression serious, “Baby, I found that you seem to be very happy that Fu Jingting clarified that his engagement was a rumor ah, more than that, you also helped him speak, when I said Fu Jingting, you immediately spoke out to refute me, baby, you …… ”
“I didn’t care about Fu Jingting!” Before he could finish his words, Rong Shu’s heart tightened and she immediately returned these words.
However, these words caused Lu Qi’s expression to become even more composed and his mood even heavier.
He took a deep breath and tried to make his tone sound natural, “Baby, before I even said whether you cared about Fu Jingting, you immediately retorted that you didn’t, so, are you just not fighting yourself?”
Rong Shu froze, only then did she react, her own reaction just now, but lifting the wrong, there is a kind of desire to cover up the feeling.
Realizing this, Rong Shu’s pupils were trembling, the hand holding the phone, was also trembling slightly, her eyes were full of disbelief, as well as confused emotions.
What was going on?
Why was she trying to cover up the truth?
Rongshu bit her lower lip, and after a moment of silence, she seemed to have an answer in her heart, her red lips moving, wanting to say something, but the words wouldn’t come out.
Her intuition told her that she could not say the answer she had in mind.
Once she said it, her life would be completely messed up.
On the other end of the phone, Lu Qi saw that Rong Shu was hesitant to speak, and could no longer deceive himself that she did not care about Fu Jinglin anymore.
He understood that she was beginning to care about Fu Jingting in her heart.
Perhaps, she had fallen in love with Fu Jingting once again!
Otherwise, she would not have immediately retorted to him when she heard him say Fu Jingting.
Thinking of this, the corner of Lu Qi’s mouth pulled out a bitter smile.
Once again, he had lost to Fu Jingting.
Once again, he watched her fall in love with Fu Jingting.
“Hehe …… is really useless.” Lu Qi leaned back, then lifted an arm to cover his eyes, his mouth slightly open as he made a painful exhaling sound.
Rongshu frowned, “A Qi, are you talking about me?”
“No, I’m talking about myself.” Lu Qi’s voice was self-deprecating as he returned.
Wasn’t he useless?
It was obvious that he was the one who had known her the longest, he was the one who had spent the longest time with her, and he was the one who had first fallen in love with her.
It was only logical that he should be the one to be with her.
Yet he had been too cowardly, too timid to confess his feelings for her to let her know, and to let himself, twice in a row, watch her fall in love with another man.
And that man, the same one.
At this moment, Lu Qi had never hated himself more for being useless than he did now.
He was a loser, a loser who wouldn’t fight for himself and would only give away the one he loved!
Lu Qi laughed out mockingly, the corners of his eyes were red, and there was even a faint glint of water shining through.
After a few seconds, he put down the hand on his eyes, pulled the corners of his mouth, forcing out a smile, and said in an astringent voice “Okay baby, I have something here, I have to hang up now.”
After saying that, he put down the phone.
The fact that the person he loved was once again in love with someone else was something he could not accept.
So he needed to calm down and cool off.
On the other side, Rong Shu looked at the phone that had been hung up, her beautiful eyebrows tightly furrowed, and her mouth murmured, “Ah Qi ……”
She didn’t know what was wrong with Lu Qi all of a sudden, but she could feel that something wasn’t quite right with his emotions.
There was anger, there was inferiority, and there was helplessness ……
In short, a mixed bag of emotions.
As far as she could remember, he had always been lively, as if he had a never-ending supply of energy.
But now he suddenly became extremely negative in mood all of a sudden, making her worried.
Thinking, Rongshu got up, took off the jacket hanging on one side and put it on, then walked towards the office door.
She was going to go to Lu Qi’s company to see what was wrong with him.
Meanwhile, the Zhang family.
Zhang Ya Ya’s father and daughter both looked at the photo clarification video posted on the official website of Fu’s Group, and their faces both turned a few shades paler with weakness.
“Dad, what should we do?” Zhang Lili gripped the skirt on her leg, her voice panicked beyond belief, “Not only has Mr. Fu clarified the rumors of my engagement with him, now he’s even clarified the photos, at this rate, will he find out that this is us ……”
“Don’t panic!” Zhang Shengguo raised his hand to interrupt her words, “He should not find out that we planned all this, he will only think that this was a photo accidentally taken by the paparazzi, which caused this rumor incident, after all, people, in general, will not even think about whether this was planned by someone or not, because Fu Jingting, as a big shot, is not unusual to be targeted by paparazzi.”
