Chapter 59
Rongshu pursed her pale lips, “I fell on my own, but I don’t think it was a simple fall for me.”
“Baby, do you suspect something?” Lu Qi looked at her.
Rongshu nodded, “I fell because I stepped on something slippery when I came out of the cubicle, and the moment I fell down, I smelled a scent, I think it was a shower gel or something.”
“How come there was shower gel in front of your cubicle door?” Lu Qi’s eyes widened in surprise.
“I’m not sure. ”
“Could it be that someone accidentally dropped the shower gel, so it spilled in front of your cubicle door, and you happened to be unlucky enough to step on it? ” Lu Qi rubbed his chin and guessed.
Rongshu’s eyes narrowed slightly, “It’s a possibility, but it’s too unlikely. ”
“How so? ”
Rong Shu tilted her head slightly to look at him, “Because I didn’t hear anything fall to the floor the entire time I was in the shower.”
In other words, the shower gel had been deliberately and quietly poured in front of her cubicle door by someone.
Lu Qi stood up at once, “It must be Gu Manyin, in this resort, we only have two enemies, her and Fu Jingting, and there’s no way Fu Jingting would enter the ladies’ soup, so it’s only Gu Manyin.”
“It’s her, she happened to be there when you called me last night, she should have heard me going to the shower room so she followed me there.” Rongshu’s hand on the quilt clenched up.
Lu Qi’s chest rose and fell violently in anger, “That woman is simply a poisonous snake, call the police, the police must be called, this matter must not be forgotten!”
He fished his mobile phone out of his pocket.
Even if it was detected that the body wash on the floor was the same as hers, she could still lie and say she spilled it by accident, so she can’t be convicted at all.”
Lu Qi frowned, “Neither this nor that, then what should we do?”
Rongshu pondered for a moment, “Unless we get a recording of her admitting to hurting me on purpose, then everything will have to be left alone.”
“That’s not so simple.” Lu Qi smiled sinisterly, “I’ll find someone with the recording equipment to scare her a bit, she will definitely confess.”
Rongshu’s eyes lit up for a moment, and she was just about to answer when the doorbell rang.
“Who is it?” Lu Qi walked towards the door.
The door opened and outside the door stood both Fu Jingting and Gu Manyin.
“Mr. Lu.” Gu Manyin smiled faintly at Lu Qi.
Lu Qi’s face fell on the spot and his tone was nonchalant, “What are you doing here?”
“We’re looking for Rong Shu, is she inside?” Fu Jingting’s gaze fell on him.
He was dressed exactly the same as last night, clearly indicating that he had spent the night in Rong Shu’s room last night.
Thinking of Rongshu and Lu Qi both alone in the same room, Fu Jingting’s eyes darkened, his heart inexplicably irritated.
“Ah Qi, who is it?” In the room, there came a somewhat weak query from Rongshu.
Lu Qi didn’t hide anything from her, looking at the man and woman in front of him, he said in a loud voice, “Mr. Fu and Miss Gu, they are looking for you.”
The room was quiet for a few seconds before Rong Shu’s voice resounded, “Let them in.”
Lu Qi somewhat reluctantly opened his body sideways.
“Thanks.” Gu Manyin nodded at him with a smile and went in with Fu Jingting on her arm.
Lu Qi rolled his eyes and also closed the door and followed them.
Rongshu sat against the bed, wearing a loose pajama top, her head wrapped in bandages, her face pale, her whole body looking very fragile.
I don’t know why, but looking at her like this, Fu Jingting was vaguely distressed and subconsciously softened his tone and asked, “How are you?”
Rongshu looked at him in surprise and smiled amusedly, “Is Mr. Fu concerned about me?”
Gu Manyin immediately tightened Fu Jingting’s arm.
As if on cue, Fu Jingting reacted to the fact that his attitude towards Rong Shu was somewhat abnormal, pursed his thin lips and his voice returned to a cool and indifferent tone, “Visiting the wounded and giving proper greetings to them is a very normal act and also polite.”
The implication was that he was only asking politely and did not mean to care.
Gu Manyin was finally satisfied, slowly releasing Fu Jingting’s arm and giving a smug glance towards Rong Shu.
Before Rong Shu could react, Lu Qi took a stride to block her and made a gouging motion at Gu Manyin, “If you keep looking at our baby with those disgusting eyes, believe it or not, I’ll gouge out both your eyes.”
“How dare you!” Gu Manyin bit her lip.
Lu Qi gave a heated smile, “See if I dare! ”
With that, he was about to go after Gu Manyin.
Gu Manyin’s face turned white with fear and she hid behind Fu Jingting, pulling at the hem of his suit and saying in a trembling voice, “Jingting, save me! ”
Fu Jingting hooked Gu Manyin backwards with one hand and blocked Lu Qi with the other, his face was terribly cold, “Lu Qi, don’t go too far. ”
As if hearing a joke, Lu Qi snickered, “Mr. Fu, then I also give you a sentence, do not be too double standard, you only see what I did to your woman, but can not see what your woman did to our baby, blind like this, might as well donate it before it is too late. ”
Rong Shu, who was watching the drama on the bed, couldn’t help but laugh and gave him a thumbs up.
When Fu Jingting saw this action of hers, his eyebrows knitted deeply, his heart not too comfortable.
What did she mean, she also thought he was blind?
“Alright, this is my room, I’m still a wounded man, what exactly do you guys want from me here, hurry up and say it, please leave when you’re done, I have to rest. I have to rest,” Rong Shu covered her lips and yawned, her voice became impatient.
Fu Jingting pursed his lips and said, “We are here to apologize to you.”
Apologize?
Rongshu and Lu Qi looked at each other.
Fu Jingting pulled Gu Manyin out from behind him, “Last night you fell down because Mangyin accidentally spilled the shower gel on the floor.”
“Miss Rong, I’m really sorry.” Gu Manyin bowed to Rong Shu, her face filled with guilt.
Rong Shu looked at her quietly, her expression cold, “Was it really accidental?”
Gu Manyin stood up straight and suddenly met her gaze that seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts.
Lu Qi laughed coldly, “What’s true? You spilled that shower gel on purpose!”
“I didn’t, Miss Rong, believe me, I really didn’t!” Gu Manyin’s eyes were red.
“Come on, we won’t believe you even if we believe in ghosts.” Lu Qi looked at her with eyes full of disgust, “And I want to know, when we found Baby last night, why didn’t you Gu Manyin say that Baby’s fall was related to you, instead of admitting it now?”
Gu Manyin’s eyes flickered slightly as she lowered her head to explain, “Because I didn’t realise last night that Miss Rong’s fall was caused by me, it wasn’t until you carried Miss Rong away that I reacted when I saw the body wash in the place where Miss Rong had tripped, so I rushed to apologise.”
“You did have to hurry to come and apologize, otherwise you were afraid that it would not end well if you were late.” Rong Shu coldly hooked her lips.
Gu Manyin’s expression stiffened for a moment, “What does Miss Rong mean by that?”
Fu Jingting and Lu Qi also looked at her.
She swept her eyes at Gu Manyin’s face that was gradually getting a little uneasy, and sneered, “You know what it means, don’t you? You guessed that I would be the first to suspect you when I woke up, and you were afraid that I would make a big deal out of it and there would be uncontrollable developments, so you wanted to use carelessness as an excuse to get this matter out of the way.”
“So that’s what you were fighting for?” Lu Qi laughed in exasperation, “Want to reveal the matter, I tell you, no way!”
Fu Jingting, who had not said anything, knew that this matter would not be solved so easily, and stepped forward to look at Rong Shu, asking in a deep voice, “Then what do you want?”
Chapter 60
Rongshu smiled faintly, “It’s simple, call the police!”
Lu Qi looked over in surprise, “Baby, didn’t you just say ……”
“Hmm?” Rong Shu gave him a warning look.
He immediately made a zipping motion around his mouth and didn’t say anything.
The fact that Miss Gu said she didn’t do it on purpose and we are bent on believing she did, we both have our own opinions and it’s hard to tell the truth for a while, so how about we leave this to the police to investigate?”
Fu Jingting caught the sharp glint in Rong Shu’s eyes and knew in his heart that her purpose was not so simple and that she might be planning something, and was about to remind Gu Manyin when she already spoke up, “Of course. ”
She agreed with a smile on her face, but in her heart she was smiling at Shu’s foolishness, actually thinking of the idea of calling the police.
There was no surveillance, so what was the point of calling the police?
Rong Shu pretended not to see the mockery in Gu Mangyin’s eyes, smiling and applauding, “Good, good, Miss Gu has made a very correct determination, Ah Qi, since Miss Gu has agreed, you should hurry up and call the police, and remind the police to bring a hypnotist by the way when they come out.”
“Bringing a hypnotist for what?” Lu Qi fumbled for his phone, not responding for a moment.
Fu Jingting narrowed his eyes, his deep gaze locked on Rong Shu’s bright face.
Sure enough, he had guessed that she was not simply calling the police.
But he didn’t expect that this was her real purpose.
Gu Manyin also reacted, her face gradually paling.
As Rongshu watched her, the smile on her face grew thicker and thicker, “Of course it’s to investigate the truth, I’ve heard that to deal with some of the more tough-talking suspects, the police would hire a hypnotist to come over and hypnotize the suspect, that way the suspect would unknowingly take the initiative to give an account of the crime.”
“Right!” Lu Qi slapped his thigh excitedly, “This is a good idea.”
“That’s certainly, but it’s not enough, when hypnotizing later, Ah Qi you remember to live broadcast the process out for the viewers to see as well, if in the end it is proven that Miss Gu was careless, then this matter will be forgotten and I will admit my own bad luck, if it was intentional …… Huh?”
Rongshu looked at Gu Manyin in mock confusion, “Miss Gu, what’s wrong with you? Why is the body shaking ah, and how is the face also so ugly, a lot of cold sweat, are you sick ah?”
“I don’t think she’s sick, it’s her heart that’s weak, after all, she’s going to be hit in the face later.” Lu Qi shouted sarcastically.
Gu Manyin bit her lips to death, her heart panicked and scared, she also hated Rong Shu.
This woman was simply the devil, not only did she come up with the damaging trick of finding a hypnotist, but she also wanted to broadcast it live on the whole internet, what a difference from killing and executing people!
“Jingting ……” Gu Manyin’s eyes were teary and she looked at the man beside her for help.
The man rubbed his brow, and his eyes held a bit of fatigue.
Perhaps he had been wrong from the start, and should not have been soft-hearted enough to agree to her hiding the truth when she begged for it this morning.
So much so that now things had developed into such a state that it was almost impossible to end it.
“Rong Shu, there’s no need to hypnotise the live broadcast, there’s no need for things to get so big, that would only exacerbate the conflict between the Gu family and Tiansheng.” Fu Jingting looked at Rong Shu.
Rong Shu suddenly understood something, clenched her palms, her eyes without a trace of emotion to meet him, “Mr. Fu, you prevented me from hypnotizing Miss Gu, also prevented me from live broadcast, so can I take it that you admitted that Miss Gu knew it was intentional? ”
Otherwise, why would he not allow her to hire a hypnotist and live broadcast.
That was enough to say it all!
“Baby, it’s more than that, I’m afraid that Mr. Fu also knew that Miss Gu was doing it on purpose, but together they helped to hide it.” Lu Qi looped his arms and sneered.
“Is that so?” Rongshu stared intently at the man.
The man was silent for a long time before speaking, “Yes.”
“Good, how very good!” Rongshu’s palms squeezed tighter and tighter, her nails nestling into her hands, and it hurt to look at them.
But this pain was no match for the pain in her heart.
This was the man she loved, the man she had loved for so many years, for the sake of Gu Manyin, she could not even give up her moral values, it really took her breath away.
“Today I finally recognize what kind of person Fu is, the funny thing is that I actually wasted six years of my youth for someone like you!” Rong Shu laughed with sarcasm.
Fu Jingting’s expression was dark and sullen, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
How was he not clear that he was wrong to harbour Gu Manyin.
But he could not watch Mangyin go to jail.
“I will be responsible for what Mangyin did to you, as long as you don’t pursue this matter anymore.” Fu Jingting spoke in a deep voice.
Lu Qi was outright furious, cupping his fist and punching him in the face.
Gu Manyin screamed in fear, “Jingting be careful!”
“Ah Qi’s a*sistant!” Rongshu also called out in time to stop Lu Qi.
Lu Qi’s fist stopped a few centimetres in front of Fu Jingting and then dropped it reluctantly.
As Rong Shu breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes were cold as she gazed at Fu Jingting, “Then how do you want to be responsible? If you give something that doesn’t satisfy me, I won’t agree to it, Ah Qi, record what Mr. Fu says next, lest Mr. Fu backtracks later.”
“Okay!” Lu Qi owed a smile and opened his phone to record.
Gu Manyin was very dissatisfied, “Miss Rong, Jing Ting is not the kind of person who goes back on his word.
However, Rong Shu and Lu Qi treated her like air and skipped over her.
Gu Manyin only felt that she had been insulted and her face turned red with anger, “You guys ……”
“Alright.” Fu Jingting raised his hand, signaling her to stop talking, and then looked at Rong Shu, “I will pay for your treatment until you are fully recovered, in addition to that, Fu’s port of communication at the customs office can be given to one of you. ”
A port of commerce?
Rongshu’s spirit lifted and her eyes widened.
She was originally considering finding connections to open a commercial port after the goods from Yutu were ready.
She didn’t expect him to take the initiative to give her one.
“Mr. Fu is really generous, but it’s not enough!” Rongshu smiled like a fox.
Gu Manyin bit her lip and said indignantly “Miss Rong, this much is not enough, you are a little too greedy, right?”
“Hey hey hey, watch your mouth, what do you mean by insatiable?” Lu Qi pointed at the bandage on Rong Shu’s head, “You deliberately harmed our baby, to put it bluntly, you deliberately killed someone, we want more, what’s wrong?”
Hearing the words “intentional murder”, Gu Manyin vainly turned her head away and stopped talking at once.
Fu Jingting frowned, “Then what else do you want? ”
“I heard that the Gu family wants a piece of land in Mr. Fu’s hand to invest in developing a new property, and you, Mr. Fu, are planning to sell it to the Gu family at a low price.”
Rongshu ruffled her hair, “I am a person who has always practiced fairness, and things were done by Miss Gu, so you can’t bear everything by yourself, Mr. Fu, Miss Gu should also bear a little, just offer that piece of land.
“No!” Gu Manyin was anxious.
That piece of land was the bride-price that Jing Ting was going to give to the Gu family, how could it be given to Rong Shu.
“Miss Gu doesn’t agree ah, then forget it if you don’t agree, Ah Qi, call the police!” Rong Shu gave Lu Qi a look.
Immediately, Lu Qi unlocked the phone.
Gu Manyin was now in a dilemma, but in the end it was Fu Jingting who agreed, “Okay, you can have the land.”
“Jingting?” Gu Manyin grabbed his sleeve.
He gently patted the back of her hand, “It’s okay, there is still a piece of land in the north of the city, although it is smaller, it is still enough for uncle.”
After saying that, Fu Jingting turned his head, his eyes coldly sweeping towards Rong Shu, “When we return to Hai City, I will have the land deed sent over, I hope Miss Rong will also abide by the rules and not pursue Mangyin anymore.”
