Chapter 661
After receiving it, Rongshu shook it open and covered it for Fu Jingting.
That wasn’t all, she asked a*sistant Zhang to turn on the heating in the study again, and only then did she feel completely at ease.
When a*sistant Zhang saw her being so considerate to Fu Jingting, he was also relieved in his heart.
From this, it could be seen that Mr. Fu’s dedication to Miss Rong had finally paid off.
Rongshu did not know what a*sistant Zhang was thinking as she sat beside Fu Jingting and looked at him sideways.
His face was red at the moment, the result of the alcohol on his face, but below his eyelids, it was blue and black, obviously he had also stayed up all night last night and had been drinking.
Fortunately, the wine he drank was red, otherwise he would have been in hospital even if he hadn’t died.
When she thought of the consequences of that, Rongshu couldn’t help but shiver.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Rongshu collected her thoughts and took the phone out of her bag.
It was the old lady calling, probably to ask about Fu Jingting’s situation.
Without hesitation, Rongshu immediately answered, “Grandmother.”
“Shushu, have you seen Jingting?” On the other end of the line, the old lady asked eagerly.
Rongshu nodded, “Yes, I have.”
“Well, that’s great, how is Jingting now? Has he done anything stupid?” The old lady asked again as she tightened her grip on her cane.
Rongshu looked down at Fu Jingting, “He’s been drinking, other than that, he hasn’t had time to do anything stupid yet.”
“Didn’t do anything stupid?” The old madam was still in some disbelief.
She had to know that every year before, Jing Ting had been drinking, and when the alcohol level wasn’t enough to get him drunk past that, he started to hurt himself.
But this time, Jing Ting actually just drank and didn’t hurt himself, which made it a little unbelievable.
“Yes.” Rongshu nodded, “a*sistant Zhang said that Fu Jingting didn’t have time to hurt himself because he was drunk.”
“That’s impossible!” The old lady suddenly stood up.
Rongshu froze, “Grandma, what’s wrong?”
The old madam’s face looked a little off, “Shu Shu, tell grandmother, what kind of wine did Jing Ting drink?”
“It’s red wine.” Rongshu answered without hesitation.
Zhang’s a*sistant at the side turned slightly pale and clenched her fists nervously.
It was over, the old lady was not Miss Rong, there was no way she wouldn’t know that Mr. Fu wouldn’t get drunk at all past drinking a few bottles of red wine.
The old lady didn’t suspect that there was something wrong here.
Sure enough, when the old lady heard Rong Shu’s answer, her grip on the phone tightened, “That’s impossible, Jing Ting drinks very well, how could he get drunk after a few bottles of red wine? Shushu, was Zhang Cheng next to you?”
“Yes.” Rongshu glanced at a*sistant Zhang.
The old lady sulked, “Give him the phone, I have something to ask him.”
“Okay, you wait a moment.” Rongshu took the phone off her ear and then handed it to a*sistant Zhang, “a*sistant Zhang, grandmother wants you to answer the phone.”
a*sistant Zhang knew that what was coming was always coming, and after taking a deep breath, he reluctantly smiled and took the phone, “Old madam.”
He walked towards the outside of the study.
Rongshu looked at his back in confusion, not understanding why he was going out to answer it.
But she didn’t think too much about it, and after fixing Fu Jingting’s hair, she got up and went to the bathroom, ready to fetch some water out and wipe his face.
Outside on the balcony, a*sistant Zhang closed the balcony door, and only then did he answer the old lady’s question with confidence, “Old lady, Mr. Fu did indeed drink red wine to get drunk over.”
“Zhang Cheng, you’re still lying to me?” On the other end of the phone, the old lady’s face was ugly, “Jingting wouldn’t drink red wine to get drunk at all, so tell me honestly, did Jingting hide other spirits again?”
“No.” a*sistant Zhang shook his head, “Old Madam, Mr. Fu really didn’t buy any other spirits.”
“Then tell me, how did he get drunk over?” The old madam said with accountability.
“This ……” a*sistant Zhang bowed his head, not knowing how to answer.
Could he tell what had happened to Mr. Fu?
And would the old lady be greatly irritated after saying it?
For a while, a*sistant Zhang was caught in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.
“What’s this what’s this, speak up!” The old lady did not know his dilemma, and impatiently urged.
a*sistant Zhang sighed and finally decided to tell her about Fu Jingting’s situation.
If she didn’t say it now, Old Madam would still know about it later.
“Old Madam, I will say, but you must be mentally prepared.” a*sistant Zhang settled down and mentioned.
The old madam’s face turned serious, “Mental preparation?”
“Yes!”
“What exactly has happened that I need to make mental preparations?” The old lady did not understand, but she was smart enough to vaguely guess what was going on, and her voice trembled a little as she asked, “Zhang Cheng, tell me honestly, is something wrong with Jing Ting?”
“Yes.” a*sistant Zhang nodded, “Mr. Fu his heart …… has failed, so that should be the reason why Mr. Fu is drunk past.”
“……” At the other end of the phone, there was no more sound, only the sound of a gla*s breaking came.
When a*sistant Zhang heard this, his face turned white with fear and he hurriedly shouted, “Old lady? Old lady?”
It was not possible that the old lady had fainted after hearing this, was it?
If that was the case, then he would be guilty of a great crime.
The old lady was already so old, if she fainted and couldn’t wake up, then ……
The a*sistant didn’t dare to think about it anymore, and gripped the phone tightly with both hands as he continued to shout into the phone, “Old lady.”
The phone finally had a voice, but it wasn’t the old lady, it was Feng’s mother.
Feng Ma lifted the old lady up from the sofa, pinched her midsection and shouted anxiously, “Old lady, wake up, wake up!”
Feng Ma was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears, but Old Madam still did not respond.
Through Feng Ma’s words, a*sistant Zhang had already guessed Old Madam’s current situation.
Old Madam, had really pa*sed out.
This was trouble!
a*sistant Zhang’s face was incomparably tense as he took the phone off his ear and made an emergency call, then returned to the study and handed the phone back to Rong Shu, saying with an eager expression, “Miss Rong, please take care of Mr. Fu, I need to go over to the old mansion.”
When Rongshu looked at him and heard that he was going to the old mansion, her heart tightened, “Is something wrong with grandmother?”
“Old Madam seems to have pa*sed out.”
“What?” Rongshu’s voice rose, “Fainted? How could this …… thing faint? Wasn’t she fine just now?”
“It’s all my fault, I said something I shouldn’t have said.” a*sistant Zhang blamed himself and slapped his face, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have said anything.”
He shouldn’t have gotten lucky, thinking that sooner or later, Old Madam would have to know about Mr. Fu’s affairs, and that it was okay to say it to her now.
But now he regretted it, really regretted it.
Not to mention whether anything would happen to Old Madam, just after Chief Fu woke up, there was no way he could explain.
“What exactly did you say to Grandmother?” Rong Shu asked, wrinkling her brows.
a*sistant Zhang shook his head, “Miss Rong you don’t ask, I can’t say, I’ve already made the old lady faint, in case I make you …… forget about it again, let’s not talk to you first, I’ll rush over and check on the old lady’s condition, on Mr. Fu’s side, I’ll leave it to you.”
Although Rongshu is also worried about the old lady, but Fu Jingting’s side does also make her unable to leave, nodding back, “Good, I will take care of him, don’t worry, grandmother’s side is on you, if there is any situation, call me.”
“Okay.” a*sistant Zhang said, turned around and left quickly.
Rongshu looked at Fu Jingting, held Fu Jingting’s hand tightly, and murmured softly “What happened to you that I don’t know about that made grandmother faint when she heard it?”
Rongshu’s question was not destined to be answered, because Fu Jingting had not yet woken up.
He was currently trapped in a nightmare that he could not get out of.
Of course, it was more of a personal experience than a nightmare.
Chapter 662
At this moment, Fu Jingting has returned to his childhood in a dream.
He went upstairs to call his mother down for breakfast, as he usually did.
Usually, as soon as he knocked on the door, his mother would open it and give him a gentle smile.
But this time, no matter how much he knocked, the door to his mother’s room was tightly closed, without the slightest intention of opening it, which made a touch of uneasy foreboding rise more or less in his heart.
Afterwards, he asked the maid to find a backup key and opened the door to his mother’s room, when a strong smell of blood came from the direction of the bathroom.
His face instantly paled and his steps paused for a few seconds before he ran like mad, flying towards the bathroom.
The door to the bathroom was open and as soon as he reached the bathroom door, he saw the gruesome sight inside.
His mother was sprawled on the edge of the tub, her face and body splattered with spots of blood.
One of her hands was cupped around the razor, dangling from the floor, while the other hand was placed in the bathtub that was filled with water.
The whole tub was bright red, stained by her mother’s blood.
And the mother, long since stiff and cold, had lost her life.
This scene has always been engraved in Fu Jingting’s memory, so much so that every year, on the day of his mother’s death anniversary, it would come back to haunt him, tormenting him physically and mentally, making it impossible for him to let go.
Sometimes, this scene would even evolve itself into a scenario that had not happened.
This time, for example, he dreamt that his dead mother suddenly stood up from the edge of the bathtub, covered in blood, and slowly walked towards him, questioning why he had come into her womb.
If she hadn’t been pregnant with him, she could have left the Fu family long ago to pursue her love.
Then, his mother’s blood-covered hand strangled his neck.
Awakened by this nightmare of his, Fu Jingting’s two eyes opened abruptly, bloodshot and breathing heavily.
Rongshu was startled by him, and it took her a while to slow down, lowering her head and gently patting his face, “Fu Jingting what’s wrong with you?”
As if he couldn’t hear, Fu Jingting’s pupils stared laxly at the ceiling, his thin lips moving as if he was saying something.
Rongshu bent down and put her ear to his mouth to listen carefully, and finally heard it clearly.
“I’m sorry …… I’m sorry ……”
Sorry?
Rongshu frowned, her eyes filled with confusion.
Why was he saying sorry?
And who was he sorry for?
Rong Shu looked at Fu Jingting, knowing that he was a bit hysterical at the moment, his thoughts and consciousness and what not, had not yet fully recovered, and hurriedly grabbed his shoulders and gave him a shake, “Fu Jingting, wake up, wake up!”
She couldn’t let him stay trapped in it, otherwise it wouldn’t be a good thing for his spirit.
He had to hurry up and get out and regain his sanity.
Perhaps this shaking by Rong Shu worked, Fu Jingting’s pupils gradually came into focus and his gaze moved from the ceiling to Rong Shu’s face.
He looked at Rong Shu for a few seconds before making a sound, “Rong …… Shu?”
His voice was hoarse and hard to hear, similar to a male duck’s voice.
From the sound of it, he had drunk too much wine and it had burned his throat.
The first thing you need to do is to get rid of the problem.
“Why are you here?” Fu Jingting raised his hand and held his forehead for a moment, then prepared to sit up from the sofa.
But he was so weak that it was hard to lift his neck, let alone sit up.
Seeing this, Rong Shu pressed his shoulders and pushed him back onto the sofa, “Alright, alright, lie down properly, don’t get up.”
After saying that, she gave him another white look, “Why am I here? Didn’t you already guess yesterday that I would come to you today? And I said two days ago that you should keep your phone on today, and you promised me that you would, but what happened was that you still turned it off! If it wasn’t for the fact that you turned off your phone today for a reason, I’d tell you that we’d get back together and call it quits right away.”
If it were normal, when he heard that the reunion was over, Fu Jingting would have already admitted his mistake and made her happy.
But now, he really wasn’t in the mood.
His eyes were slightly closed, and he lifted an arm and rested it on his eyes without speaking.
When Rongshu looked at him like this, her heart was also very uncomfortable and very distressed.
They were both people who had lost their parents.
But what had happened to him was a little more saddening and pitiful than to her.
His father had been murdered in a hotel, and although his mother had committed suicide herself, he had witnessed her tragic suicide when he was still a young boy.
As for her, her mother, although she too died when she was very young, did die of illness and at that time, before she started to remember, so she was sad but not too overwhelmed by her mother’s death.
And although she had experienced her father’s death, she was already an adult at that time and was strong enough inside that she was able to move on from the shadow of his death very quickly.
But Fu Jingting was different from her, her mother’s suicide was too sudden, there was no warning before it happened, and it was the young one who was the first to find the body, so you can imagine how much of a blow that had dealt to his young heart.
Thinking of this, Rong Shu suddenly leaned down and hugged Fu Jingting, burying her head in the nape of his neck, her voice full of anxiety and worry, “Fu Jingting, do you know that you almost scared me to death!”
Fu Jingting didn’t expect her to suddenly hug him, so he looked down at her.
Rongshu also raised her head now, her eyes red as she stared at him, “Do you know that some time ago, my grandmother told me that every year, on this day, you would change your temperament and even commit self-harm, so do you know how worried I was when your mobile phone was not working? How scared I was? I was afraid that you had already mutilated yourself, that I would come too late and see your cold corpse!”
Listening to the trembling and choking in the woman’s voice, Fu Jingting knew that he had really scared her.
He lifted his hand and gently patted his back, his voice still as hoarse and unpleasant as ever, “I’m sorry ……”
“You still know you’re wrong, huh?” Rongshu stretched out her hands and cupped his face tightly, feigning anger, “I’m not the only one you have to apologize to, there’s also grandmother and a*sistant Zhang, they’re all worried about you, worried that something really happened to you, but fortunately ……”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
Fu Jingting lowered his eyes, the colour of his eyes flickered, and he didn’t say anything.
It wasn’t that he didn’t have time to hurt himself.
Rather, it was that his body didn’t allow it.
After only a few bottles of wine, a burning pain appeared in his heart, causing him to just pa*s out.
Yes, he had fainted, not drunk.
His heart, at this moment, was still aching.
But all this, he could not possibly let her know.
Seeing Fu Jingting’s sullen look, Rongshu sighed helplessly, then looked into his eyes and gently proposed, “Fu Jingting, shall we go see a psychiatrist?”
“A psychological …… doctor?” Fu Jingting’s thin lips twitched as he repeated the four words.
Rong Shu nodded, “Yes, psychologist, you will look like a different person on this day every year, it is because something is wrong with you psychologically, you witnessed your mother’s suicide, so you have a big shadow in your heart, so that every year today, you will subconsciously become like this, but as long as we go to see a psychologist, let the psychologist enlighten you, so that you can forget what you saw back then. Or let you accept what you saw back then in your normal mind, and you will be fine.”
