Chapter 681
He almost got the old lady killed, and although nothing happened to her in the end, she was terrified.
So, he too remains blameless, and he is willing to accept any departure.
After all, it was originally his fault.
Fu Jingting lowered his eyes and looked at the person bowing in front of him, his thin lips pursed tightly, a cold aura spilling out around him, hesitating to open his mouth to let a*sistant Zhang get up.
Because he was, indeed, furious.
For a while, the atmosphere at the entrance became very depressing, no one spoke, and apart from the shallow breathing, there was no sound at all, which made it easy for people’s hearts to become fearful.
Such was the case with a*sistant Zhang.
Fu Jingting didn’t say anything, didn’t ask him to get up, and just stared at him, which made him feel very apprehensive and frightened inside.
He would rather have Mr. Fu give him a kick or scold him, he would not be so scared that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
“Fu Jingting.” Rongshu knew the pressure in a*sistant Zhang’s heart at the moment, and after sighing, she tugged on the sleeve of the man beside her, ready to speak up for a*sistant Zhang.
Sensing her thoughts, Fu Jingting glanced at her and eventually obeyed her, looking at a*sistant Zhang before speaking in an icy voice, “What did you say to Grandmother?”
When a*sistant Zhang saw him speak, he finally breathed a huge sigh of relief in his heart.
The fact that Mr. Fu had spoken meant that the anger within Mr. Fu’s heart had lessened, which also meant that he could survive from Mr. Fu’s hands.
This was all because of Miss Rong.
If Miss Rong hadn’t just shouted out to Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu would definitely not have let him off so easily now.
“Mr. Fu, what I told the old lady was ……,” a*sistant Zhang looked at Rong Shu with an apologetic smile on her face.
Rong Shu knew that a*sistant Zhang meant that she didn’t want her to listen, and smiled knowingly, “You guys talk, I’ll go in first and come out when you’re done.”
With those words, she turned and walked towards the door.
She knew yesterday that a*sistant Zhang wasn’t going to tell her, so she wasn’t angry now.
Fu Jingting watched Rong Shu’s back as she headed inside, and did not pull her back.
Zhang Cheng was a very measured person.
Since Zhang Cheng had deliberately not let Rong Shu know, that meant that what Zhang Cheng had said to his grandmother must have been about his body.
Otherwise, it was impossible for someone like the grandmother, who had experienced much hardship, to be unable to bear the stimulation and pa*s out.
Even if Fu’s group went bankrupt, grandmother would definitely not have fainted.
Grandmother’s only weakness was him and Jing Lin.
Therefore, it was only when his and Jing Lin’s lives were involved that grandmother could be greatly irritated.
Only after Rongshu’s figure had completely disappeared into invisibility did Fu Jingting then drop his gaze back to a*sistant Zhang, his eyes narrowing dangerously, “Did you tell Grandmother about my heart?”
The only thing that was currently involved in his life was his heart.
So it was obvious that his grandmother had known about it and had pa*sed out.
a*sistant Zhang buried his head deeply, “Yes.”
The air pressure around Fu Jingting dropped and his voice was as cold as if it came from a cold hell, “Why did you say it? How did I instruct you to keep it a secret and not to let Grandmother and Rongshu know about it, but now you’re actually saying it like this!”
“I’m sorry Mr. Fu.” I wanted to hide this matter from the old lady, but the old lady herself noticed that something was wrong, because you were drunk on red wine, such a big breach, the old lady could not have known that something was wrong with you, plus the old lady pressed me at that time, I …… could not help but tell her. The actual fact is that you can’t be sure that you’re going to be able to get a good deal on your own.
Fu Jingting’s thin lips pursed out a few minutes of coldness and did not speak anymore.
He was not an unreasonable person, and after hearing these words from a*sistant Zhang, he also knew that indeed, he could not blame Zhang Cheng for all of it.
More of the fault still lay with himself.
He had overestimated his current body.
He had never thought that with his current body, he could even get drunk on red wine.
Fu Jingting rubbed his forehead, “Seeing as grandmother is fine, this matter, I won’t pursue it.”
a*sistant Zhang’s eyes lit up and he smiled in surprise, “Thank you, Mr. Fu.”
“How is grandmother now?” Fu Jingting asked with his thin lips pursed tightly.
a*sistant Zhang pushed his gla*ses back, “The old lady is fine, she was sent to the hospital in time, so she recovered quickly, but she is still in the hospital, she can’t be discharged until tomorrow, she still has to recuperate.”
Hearing his words, Fu Jingting gave a hint, “Understood.”
“Mr. Fu.” a*sistant Zhang thought of something and looked at Fu Jingting, “Although Miss Rong doesn’t know about your heart yet, she has suspicions in her heart, she even asked me specifically yesterday what happened to you that made the old lady faint when she heard it, although I hid it from Miss Rong, I think she will definitely not give up wanting to know, she might find the time to ask you, you ……”
“I know, this side of Rong Shu, I deal with it myself, you just keep your mouth shut, if next time let me know, who else have you told, the mine side in Africa, there is still a shortage of supervisors, you are quite suitable.” Fu Jingting raised his eyes and gave a*sistant Zhang a cool look.
The a*sistant Zhang’s face immediately appeared a touch of panic nodded his head, “Don’t worry Mr. Fu, I will keep my mouth shut this time, no one will say anything.”
He didn’t want to go over to Africa as a supervisor at all.
It was very messy over there, and maybe if he went there and came back, he wouldn’t even know himself.
“Alright, go and drive.” Fu Jingting rubbed his brow, “Send Rong Shu to Tiansheng first, then go over to the hospital.”
“Yes.” a*sistant Zhang answered and turned to head for the lift room.
Fu Jingting also turned around and headed inside.
Rongshu was sitting on the sofa, talking to someone on the phone.
When she heard footsteps, she turned her head to look at the man and said quickly to the other end of the phone, “I know, I’ll be back later, see you later.”
After saying that, she put down the phone and stood up, “Finished talking to a*sistant Zhang?”
“Yes.” Fu Jingting nodded his head, “I made you wait long.”
“No.” Rongshu shook her head, “It’s just as well that I have time to have a call with Secretary Tong.”
“Finished typing?” Fu Jingting looked at the phone in her hand.
Rong Shu put the phone away, “Finished.”
“Let’s go then.” Fu Jingting took his arm, the meaning was obvious.
Rongshu smiled a little, walked over and took his arm.
This time, the two finally made it out the door without any problems.
a*sistant Zhang drove, first sending the two of them to the Imperial Restaurant for breakfast, and then driving to the Tiansheng Group.
When they arrived at Tian Sheng, Rong Shu opened the door and got out of the car.
When she walked to the other side of the car, Fu Jingting rolled down the window and called out to her, “Little Yezi.”
Rong Shu paused in her steps, her eyes wide as she jerked her head around, looking at the man in surprise, “What did you …… you call me?”
“Little Yezi.” Fu Jingting lightly opened his thin lips and shouted again.
Rongshu’s eyes were hot, her mouth opened, and her voice choked up a little, “How do you …… know this nickname of mine?”
This nickname is what her father used to call her.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are looking for.
That’s when she got her nickname, because she wanted to keep it as a souvenir.
It was also her pen name, Maple Leaf, from which she got it.
But since her dad died, she hadn’t heard anyone call her Little Leaf anymore, they all called her Shushu, because they didn’t know that she had that nickname.
A Qi and Auntie Lu did know, but did not choose to call her that.
Because the nickname meant something different to her, and only her parents could call it that.
But now, after six years, she actually heard the name Little Yezi from Fu Jingting again.
Chapter 682
So nostalgic, so dear, that her body could not help but tremble lightly and her eyes redden.
“Isn’t that what you told me yourself?” Fu Jingting returned with one hand resting on the edge of the car window.
Rongshu blinked in confusion, “I told you that?”
“Hmm.”
“What …… time ah?” Rong Shu was even more confused.
She had never told him that she still had this nickname.
It was a nickname that she had sealed away with the death of her father six years ago.
Even if he didn’t call her today, she might have forgotten that she still had that name.
“Eleven years ago.” Fu Jingting said back as he looked out the window at the foggy-faced woman.
Rongshu’s eyes widened, “Eleven years ago?”
“That’s right.” Fu Jingting nodded his head.
Rongshu swallowed, “You mean to say that I told you in a letter before?”
Eleven years ago, she hadn’t met him yet, so it was impossible for her to have told him, personally, this nickname of hers.
The only possibility was that it had been mentioned in a letter, because at that time, they had been pen pals for a long time.
Seeing that Rong Shu guessed it, Fu Jingting nodded and admitted, “Yes, you said it in the letter, at that time you were bullied by Rong Yuan, Rong Yuan was very upset that your father called you by your nickname, crying and asking your father to stop calling you that in the future, you were very aggrieved, then you told me about it in the letter, it was mentioned, your nickname was Little Ye Zi, although you only mentioned it this once, but I have never forgotten.”
“So …… so.” Rong Shu bit her lower lip, her voice getting choked up, “Such a long time ago, you still remember ah, I forgot.”
If he didn’t say it, she had forgotten that there was still this matter.
But when he said so, she remembered.
She had indeed mentioned it in her letter.
It was when she was fifteen and her father had come back from a business trip abroad and bought her and Rong Yuan each a present.
Both she and Rong Yuan were very happy at the time, but Rong Yuan was displeased when she heard her dad call her Little Yezi.
All along, her father had always called her Little Yezi and called Rong Yuan Yuan Yuan, but Rong Yuan disliked the nickname Yuan Yuan Yuan very much, thinking that it was not as special as her Little Yezi, and felt that Yuan Yuan Yuan was just taken from the last word of her name, which was too perfunctory, so she had always been dissatisfied with her father calling her Little Yezi.
However, when her father gave her a gift, she suddenly made a fuss and insisted that her father should not call her Little Yezi in the future.
Although her father did not agree, she was still very aggrieved, so in her sadness, she wrote about it in a letter and sent it to her pen pal at the time, Xiao Zhong.
Because Xiao Zhong was a very gentle person who would enlighten her when she couldn’t understand, or was sad, she trusted him.
Sure enough, the reply to that letter contained Xiao Zhong’s comforting and enlightening words.
“I always remember what happened to you.” Fu Jingting said with a gentle expression.
Rongshu took a breath, barely calming down the messy mood that was evoked by the nickname, “By the way, why are you suddenly calling me by this nickname?”
Fu Jingting looked at her and said, “We are together now, we can’t keep calling you by your full name, that would be too rusty, but I don’t want to call you the same as Lu Qi and the others, I want to have an exclusive name for you, so I came up with this.”
“Yeah well.” Rongshu ruffled her hair a little, “Then this nickname, have you also called Gu Manyin before?”
After all, Gu Manyin had impersonated her, so it was likely that he had called Gu Manyin this way.
If that was really the case, she would definitely be very upset in her heart.
However, Fu Jingting shook his head, “No.”
“Really?” Rongshu narrowed her eyes, obviously not quite convinced.
Fu Jingting nodded seriously, “Really, you said in your letter that this nickname, was obtained by your mother, and that only your parents could call it, so even if I thought of Gu Manyin as you, I never called Gu Manyin that way, this nickname, always belonged to you, was clean.”
Rongshu looked into his eyes and could see that he wasn’t lying to her, and the little worry that she had in her heart was finally put aside.
“Thank you.” Rongshu gave him a stunning smile, “Thank you for still preserving the purity of this name for me and not letting Gu Manyin dirty it.”
This name had been acquired by her mother, and even if it was really taken up by Gu Manyin, she would still take it back.
But in the future, she would not use it again.
But the good thing was that it turned out to be good, and he respected what she had said in her letter, that the name could only be called by her parents, and so did not call Gu Manyin that way.
The name, from beginning to end, still belonged to her and hadn’t been soiled.
“I’m glad myself that I didn’t dirty it.” Fu Jingting looked at Rong Shu and said back.
Rong Shu smiled lightly, “Because you know how to respect people.”
Fu Jingting curled his lips, “I like your compliment, Rongshu, can I call you that from now on? I know that this was your parents’ exclusive title, but now that they are no longer around, you won’t hear them call you that, so I hope that I will inherit this title to call you next, okay?”
In the days to come, he would spoil her as a child too.
Just like her parents did.
As Rongshu looked at Fu Jingting’s expectant look, her red lips twitched, as if she was torn.
But soon, she nodded her head, “Good.”
He was right, after her parents had died, she had never heard anyone call her Little Yezi again.
Now that she heard Fu Jingting call her that, she realised that she was eager to hear someone call her that again.
So since he wanted to call her that, let’s do it.
He wanted a name that was exclusive to him for her, and she was willing to make it happen.
Hearing that Rong Shu had agreed, the curvature of Fu Jingting’s mouth grew thicker, and he immediately opened his mouth to call out, “Little Yezi.”
Rongshu’s face flushed, a little embarra*sed.
In the past, her parents had always called her this way, and she had naturally agreed without any psychological pressure.
But now it was her ex-husband and current boyfriend who were calling her that.
And this name had changed from parent-child to male-female, so she was a little uncomfortable.
She still had to adapt to the change slowly.
As she thought about it, Rong Shu rubbed her cheeks and gave a mosquito-like muffled sound as an answer.
When Fu Jingting heard this, a hint of essence swept across his eyes and he called out again, “Little Yezi.”
Rongshu glared at him, “Fu Jingting, are you done with this, you’re addicted to calling me that?”
Fu Jingting laughed.
Rongshu waved her hand, “Alright, hurry up and go, you’re going to see your grandmother in the hospital, go there early and say hello to her for me, I’ll go see her again this afternoon.”
“I’ll pick you up this afternoon.” Fu Jingting said as he glanced at his watch.
Rongshu wanted to say no, but on second thought, they were together, shouldn’t he pick her up, so she swallowed back the sharp refusal on her lips and replied, “Okay, give me a heads up before you come over, I’ll see if I’m busy at that time.”
“Mm.” Fu Jingting nodded slightly.
Rongshu waved at him and turned to walk towards the group building.
Fu Jingting just looked at her in a different way.
The a*sistant Zhang in the driver’s seat suddenly turned his head, “Mr. Fu, have you and Miss Rong gotten back together?”
Just now, he heard the conversation between Mr. Fu and Miss Rong, and vaguely heard that they were together or something.
That’s why he wanted to ask if it was what he thought it was.
Fu Jingting withdrew his gaze to look at a*sistant Zhang, his face revealing an undisguised look of smugness, “You guessed right, we have indeed gotten back together.”
