Chapter 5
After saying goodbye to Lu Qi and Li Chuan, Rongshu returned to her father’s old mansion.
The house was dusty and had not been cleaned for a long time.
Rongshu put on her apron and began to clean up.
Under the sofa, she found a picture of her wedding with Fu Jingting, in which she was smiling like a flower, while Fu Jingting was beside her with a cold face and impatience between his brows.
Next to it were the notes she had written.
The diary contains notes on what the man likes to eat, what he uses, a range of hobbies and so on.
All her thoughts were on Fu Jingting, she had tried so hard to manage this hard-won marriage, but reality had given her a resounding slap in the face.
Her eyes were sore, and Rongshu looked up, forcing herself to swallow her tears.
She was interrupted by the ringing of a text message, and picked it up to see that it was from Li Chuan.
[Sister, six years ago you helped me, six years later I will help you, let go, I am your back up.
Warm currents crossed the bottom of Rongshu’s heart.
Although Li Chuan genuinely wanted to repay her, she didn’t want to rely on anyone. Since marrying Fu Jingting, she had put away all her temperament in order to be a good wife, almost forgetting how dashing she had once been.
Picking up the phone, Rong Shu dialed the number.
“Rong Shu, what do you want again?” On the other end was Fu Jingting’s indifferent voice.
Her voice was equally warm, as if she treated him like a stranger, “Tomorrow, Monday, remember to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to complete the divorce formalities.”
Fu Jingting frowned: “You ……”
The man was squeezing his phone to death, his gaze glowing.
“Jingting, who called you?” Inside the bedroom on the bed, Gu Mangyin looked over to the balcony in confusion.
Fu Jingting put the phone away and walked over as if nothing had happened, pressing the quilt for her: “It’s nothing, you should drink the medicine first.”
Gu Manyin’s pale face was heartbreaking, she held the man’s hand and pouted pitifully, “The Chinese medicine soup is too bitter, the taste chokes my heart.”
Fu Jingting raised his eyebrows: “Remember when we were pen pals, didn’t you say you weren’t afraid of Chinese medicine? Be a good boy and drink the medicine to heal.”
He was just saying this casually, but he didn’t notice what flashed under Gu Manyin’s eyes.
Soon, she lifted her little face again, her big eyes watery, “Mm, I’ll listen to Jing Ting.”
Gu Manyin had been in a coma for six years, her body was thin and bloodless, and her personality was still stuck in her school days.
Such a her made the man’s heart ache: “Next time I’ll ask a*sistant Zhang to change the Chinese medicine to Western medicine.”
Gu Manyin smiled sweetly and threw her arms around him to pamper him, “Jingting is the best to me!”
After leaving the room, Fu Jingting went downstairs and Wang Shuqin came over with a bowl of ginseng soup: “Is Mangyin feeling better?”
“She just finished her medicine and is talking to her parents on the phone.”
Wang Shuqin smiled, “Jingting, Mangyin’s father is the chairman of the Sangsheng Group, so if he agrees to bring Mangyin over, he is also agreeing to your marriage to Mangyin in disguise, so our family cannot neglect Mangyin.”
Looking at his mother’s considerate care for Gu Manyin, Fu Jingting suddenly recalled the time when Rong Shu fell ill with the flu last year.
When Wang Shuqin had been downstairs, she had been angry and dropped things, and Rongshu had come down to cook with her sick face.
The heart was just a little complicated when Fu Jingting cut it off, first knocking over Gu Manyin, then taking advantage of the danger, going to all the trouble of marrying over, it was all her fault.
Wang Shuqin looked around, “Where has Xiao Lin gone? He’s been gone all day.”
Just as she finished speaking, she heard the door being pushed open with a bang, and Fu Jinglin came back with a gloomy face and a body full of anger.
“Xiao Lin, what’s wrong with you?” Wang Shuqin hurriedly put down her bowl and went to her youngest son’s side to check on him.
Fu Jinglin waved her hand away, “I’m fine, mum.”
He then looked at his elder brother with a look of desire to speak, “Brother, I saw Rong Shu at the bar today, she was very close to a male model, her relationship is not ordinary.”
Fu Jingting’s face was cold: “With who?”
Chapter 6
“I think it’s called something like Li Chuan, with that nasty guy Lu Qi next to him.”
“What? How dare she cheat!” Wang Shuqin’s face turned black with anger as she cursed in a shrill voice, “She still has no shame! Where is she? See if I don’t tear her apart!”
“Rong Shu said that she and my brother have divorced!” Seeing the gloominess of his elder brother’s face, Fu Jinglin asked again, “Is what she said true?”
Fu Jingting kept his lips pursed and his face was sullen as he didn’t say anything, obviously acquiescing.
Wang Shuqin didn’t know what had occurred to her, but she froze for a moment, and then a smile appeared on her face: “It’s good that we’re divorced! She’s a good person! In my heart, I only recognise Mangyin as my daughter-in-law, she’s nothing!”
I don’t know why, but Wang Shuqin’s cursing words sounded very harsh to Fu Jingting’s ears, “Don’t say anymore.”
He picked up his jacket and left the house.
Fu Jinglin looked at his elder brother’s back in a daze, “Mom, is it true that Rongshu is not coming back?”
Wang Shuqin snorted coldly, “She dares! Even if she wants a divorce, she won’t be able to share a single penny of my son’s money!”
Fu Jinglin didn’t say anything, lowering his head and not knowing what to think about.
Suddenly, he noticed a beam of eyes staring this way, and subconsciously looked up.
Gu Manyin had been standing quietly in front of the railing for who knows how long.
Meeting his surprised gaze, Gu Manyin smiled gently, her voice extraordinarily gentle, “Little brother Lin.”
I’d heard Mum say that Gu Manyin was the only daughter of a business tycoon and was very helpful to big brother’s career, while Rongshu was just a fatherless little orphan girl who would only spend big brother’s money.
The high view was established.
Fu Jinglin gave Gu Manyin a friendly smile, “Sister Gu Manyin.”
……
The next day, Rong Shu got up early in the morning and dressed up deliberately.
She took the tight black dress out of her wardrobe and put it on. Once she wore it out to show Fu Jingting, he said it was ugly and she had never worn it since.
Now she not only wore it, but also drew on a delicate make-up and matched it with aunt-coloured lipstick, her aura was two meters eight.
Fu Jingting went with her to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Rongshu smiled and hooked her lips: “Let’s go Mr. Fu, I’m very busy, we have to do it quickly.”
Fu Jingting swept a smile off her face, his gaze sinking, “So anxious, is it for that male model?”
Rongshu froze for a moment, then realised that he had misunderstood something.
But she didn’t explain, instead she raised her eyebrows in a smiling manner, “Mr. Fu has no right to ask about my personal matters, right?”
Fu Jingting did not like her attitude, as if he was an irrelevant person.
“You like him?”
Seeing that he was still asking questions, Rong Shu was a little impatient: “Yes, I do, now are you satisfied? Then Mr. Fu, can we get a divorce?”
Fu Jingting’s lips pursed into a straight line, a layer of cold frost shrouding his handsome face.
Since she was in such a hurry, he made her whole.
It only took a few minutes to go through the formalities at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Looking at the divorce certificate in her hand, Rongshu’s eyes suddenly became sore.
From now on, there would be no more relationship between the two of them, and she no longer had to beg for him!
Taking a deep breath, she swallowed all the pain hard and looked up again, her mouth smiling brightly.
Just then, a shiny black Maybach pulled up beside her.
A pair of long legs got out of the car, followed by Li Chuan in a jacket, his handsome sharp eyebrows saw her and a charming smile filled the corners of his lips: “I’ve come to pick you up.”
Rongshu froze for a moment, “Didn’t Lu Qi say he was coming?”
“He went to the Little Vault to charter a venue and said he wanted to celebrate you tonight, so he asked me to come and pick you up first.”
He took the initiative and carried her bag over, “Sister, get in the car first, I’ll take you to a nice place.”
