Chapter 699
“……” This question left Wang Shuqin speechless, her throat clogged.
Who is more valued?
This answer, is not obvious?
Jing Ting had clearly stated that in his heart, she, the stepmother, was no better than Rong Shu.
So, how could she answer that?
Looking at Wang Shuqin’s mixed face, Rong Shu laughed lightly, “It seems you have the answer in your heart, so do you still think I wouldn’t dare?”
Wang Shuqin’s body trembled slightly, daring to stare at Rong Shu in anger.
Rong Shu flicked her nails and added lightly, “For the sake of the fact that you have raised Fu Jingting after all, I am only saying these warnings to you. Of course, I would rather say they are warnings than admonitions, admonitions that you had better be polite to me in the future and stop thinking of how to target me in the future, otherwise what I have just said will be your downfall.”
“You are also relying on Jing Ting to love you, so you dare to be so arrogant.” Wang Shuqin gritted her teeth, “If Jing Ting didn’t love you anymore, would you still dare to treat me like this? So Rong Shu, you’d better beg Jing Ting to love you for the rest of your life, otherwise, it won’t be you pinching me, it’ll be me sparring you.”
“Thank you for the reminder.” Rongshu smiled back “But don’t worry, you won’t have that day, if it’s true that Fu Jingting doesn’t love me one day, I will definitely put you down first and won’t let you have a chance to take a shot at me.”
“You ……” Wang Shuqin choked again, her face turning blue and red.
She knew that she couldn’t say or beat this woman no matter what.
So if she said any more, she would be P*ssed off sooner or later.
Wang Shuqin stomped her foot fiercely and turned to leave.
Rongshu looked at her back, smiling and stroking her chin.
I must say, pretending to be a bad woman to threaten and warn others was quite exciting.
No wonder people were so arrogant nowadays.
Rongshu gave a chortle, and after Wang Shuqin’s figure disappeared into the lift room, she also turned around and went back to the ward.
The old lady was reading a magazine when she heard footsteps and said without raising her head, “Have you finished saying goodbye?”
Rongshu said, “I’ve finished saying goodbye.”
The old lady closed the magazine and raised her head, looking at her with a smile, “Shu Shu, I never thought you would play the poor man one day to deal with someone.”
She was referring to the previous incident in the ward where Rong Shu had played the white lotus flower to get her to go up against Wang Shuqin.
Hearing Old Madam’s words, Rong Shu’s expression first stiffened and then turned embarra*sed, “Grandmother, you …… can see that?”
“Such an obvious thing, how can you not see it? I’m not what you young people call a …… straight man nowadays, I’m at least a woman, a woman still can’t see a woman’s tricks?” The old lady laughed and said.
Rongshu stirred her fingers in embarra*sment, “I’m sorry grandmother, I took advantage of you at that time.”
Now, it was time for her grandmother to realise that she was not as kind as she thought she was.
Now she would hate her, wouldn’t she?
Naturally, the old lady could see the unease in Rongshu’s heart and said with a smile, “Don’t think too much, I don’t mean to blame you, on the contrary, I am very happy.”
Rongshu froze and then looked at the old lady in confusion, “Happy?”
“Yes.” The Old Madam nodded her head.
Rongshu became even more confused and sat down on the edge of the hospital bed, “Why?”
“Because of the relief?”
“Relieved?”
“Yes.” Old Madam took her hand and patted it gently, “For the past six years, your being oppressed by Wang Shuqin has always made me angry at her, I even tried to stand up for you, but you refused, making me quite helpless towards you.”
Rongshu’s face flushed with embarra*sment at what the old lady said.
For these were, indeed, the things she had done in the first place.
The old lady sighed and said “When you stopped me, Wang Shuqin continued to bully you, then I tried to help you again, and when you stopped me again, Wang Shuqin bullied you again, and so on in a vicious circle, so that I could not even think of helping you in the end.”
“It’s not me you’re sorry for, it’s you.”
“No, I’m sorry for you too, for this heart of yours.”
The old lady stroked her hair, “Yes, before, you were like a puppet, you didn’t know what it meant to resist, you wouldn’t even accept it when others helped you, I was angry when I saw it, but the good thing is that you’ve changed now, you’re more spiritual and know how to resist, you even know to let others do the work too, that’s why I said, I’m so relieved.”
“So that’s how it is.” Rongshu smiled and nodded, “I thought that you would hate me because I had used you.”
“How could that be.” As long as you are not using me for anything bad, how can I hate you? It is permissible to use everyone and everything around you to protect yourself.
“Really?” Rongshu blinked in surprise.
When the old lady was young, she had actually pretended to be a white lotus too.
“Of course, would you like to hear something about my youth?” The old madam asked with a smile.
Rongshu hurriedly nodded her head, “Of course.”
“Alright then, grandmother will tell you about it.”
With that, the old man and the young woman began to reminisce about the past.
Fu Jingting returned with a food box, and saw a rather happy scene of Rong Shu and the old lady laughing.
Fu Jingting laughed along with them, “What are you talking about? So happy?”
“You’re back?” Rongshu stood up and walked towards him, naturally taking the food box in his hand, “I was talking to my grandmother about the past, she told me a lot about her experiences when she was young, it was very interesting.”
“Really.” Tang Shiyin raised his hand and touched the top of her head.
Rongshu took his hand away, “Don’t pat it, you’re making people short. By the way, what took you so long to come back?”
Fu Jingting took her hand and walked towards the ward’s table, “I took a video conference call on the way, so I was delayed for a while.”
“So.” Rongshu nodded, not asking any more questions.
The two of them gathered around the table and set up the meal with their hands.
The old lady on the hospital bed watched the two get along so harmoniously and warmly, and a heartfelt smile appeared on her old face.
Great, it seemed she had been over-worried.
She was worried that even though they had gotten back together, it would be a bit unnatural for them to get along with each other because of the past.
But now they weren’t. They were fine.
“Grandmother, it’s time to eat.” While the old madam was thinking, Rong Shu came to the bedside with the meal and wanted to serve the old madam to eat.
The old lady saw her intention and waved her hand, “No, no, it’s not like my old lady is paralyzed and crippled, so I don’t need to be served, I can just eat by myself.
Hearing the old lady’s order, Fu Jingting answered and put down the action of constantly putting food into a bowl and walked towards the bedside.
When she was setting out the food, Rongshu had said that she wanted to serve her grandmother, but he had tried to persuade her, but she had not listened to him and only let him eat first.
As a result, Fu Jingting had no choice but to give her more dishes in her bowl of rice, intending to feed her while she fed her grandmother.
As a result, before he could do so, his grandmother asked him to bring Rongshu over.
To be honest, he also thought that it was better to let his grandmother do things like eating by herself.
Only by letting his grandmother do it herself would he not make her feel that she was old and useless.
So how could someone like his grandmother, who had never been strong, accept herself without the ability to take care of herself?
Chapter 700
“Let’s go.” Fu Jingting pulled on Rong Shu’s arm.
“But ……” Rong Shu held the bowl and was about to say something else.
Fu Jingting shook his head at her.
She seemed to understand what he meant and handed the bowl to Old Madam, “Grandmother, then you can eat by yourself and call me if you need anything.”
“Good.” The old madam nodded benevolently.
Rongshu was pulled by Fu Jingting’s hand back to the previous table.
Fu Jingting handed her the chopsticks, “Eat, I bought the dishes you love especially.”
Rongshu turned out her chopsticks and smiled warmly, “Thank you.”
Several people began to eat.
After the meal, the two of them stayed with the old lady for a while, waiting until around nine o’clock in the evening before saying goodbye and leaving.
When they arrived at the Yunding Mansion, Fu Jingting opened the door and made an inviting gesture to the woman beside him.
Rongshu gripped the bag chain on her shoulder with both hands and bowed slightly, “Excuse me.”
Fu Jingting frowned, “Talking about what disturbance, this will also be your home in the future, no need to be so polite.”
Hearing the phrase ‘it will also be your home in the future’ Rong Shu’s face flushed and she looked away, “What are you talking about, what do you mean it will also be my home, don’t talk nonsense.”
“I didn’t say anything nonsense.” Fu Jingting bent down, opened the shoe cupboard and rummaged around in it, looking back as he did so, “In the future when we are remarried, won’t my house be yours, and in the future, how about we use this as our wedding room?”
“Wedding room?” Rongshu froze.
Fu Jingting gave a hint.
Rongshu looked at him, “Didn’t you say that you would live in the old mansion with your grandmother in the future?”
“I did mean that before, but I’ve now decided to send my grandmother to a sanatorium.” Fu Jingting took out a pair of pink fluffy slippers and put them in front of Rong Shu.
The corners of Rongshu’s mouth twitched as she looked at the pink bunny slippers.
Who had bought these and had such poor taste?
Although she thought so, she did not say so, but took off her high heels and put on these slippers.
Only after putting them on did it dawn on her that the slippers were just her size.
In other words, the slippers were obviously for her.
I just didn’t know if he had bought them himself, or if he had asked a*sistant Zhang to prepare them.
But no matter which one of them it was, this aesthetic was simply too straight.
Do you really think that women must like pink and cute things like rabbits?
“Why did you send Grandma to the sanatorium?” Rongshu asked as she followed behind Fu Jingting into the living room, then put down the bag on her shoulder.
Fu Jingting went to the water fountain to get some water, handed her a gla*s and said in a somewhat low tone, “Grandma’s …… health is getting worse and worse, the doctor has given an ultimatum.”
“What do you mean?” Rong Shu’s face changed and her hand shook, almost dropping the cup.
It was a while before she could barely calm down, her voice a little astringent, “How could this …… happen?”
“The truth is so hard to predict.” Fu Jingting said slightly tiredly as he sat down opposite her and took a sip of water.
Rongshu clasped her hands tightly around the gla*s of water, “How long should grandmother …… probably have?”
“Two years.” Fu Jingting lowered his eyes, “Two years at the most.”
“So, you thought of sending grandmother to a sanatorium in order to let her live longer?” Rongshu looked at him.
Fu Jingting nodded slightly, “The sanatorium has the most advanced health experts in the world, there, grandmother’s body can receive the best care and conditioning, I believe it should allow grandmother to live for a longer period of time, although it probably won’t ……”
The words that followed, he didn’t say anymore, but the meaning was understood by Rong Shu.
What he wanted to say was that while it might keep grandmother alive for a while longer, it definitely wouldn’t be too long.
And such words were so solid that it took a certain amount of courage to even say them.
So he couldn’t say it, and she understood it well.
Rongshu put her hand on Fu Jingting’s shoulder as a silent comfort.
But Fu Jingting was clearly not satisfied with this, and directly and cheekily wrapped his arm around her waist, taking her into his arms and burying his head in the nook of her neck.
Rongshu was stunned for a moment, then nudged him with her hand, “Hey what are you doing?”
“Don’t move, let me hug you.” Fu Jingting tightened his arms even more, making her body pressed against his, almost without a gap, as if he wanted to rub her into his own bones and blood.
Rongshu couldn’t even breathe a little, her back tensing up, “No, you have to let go of me.”
Fu Jingting raised his head, his eyes deep in colour, and revealing a bit of aggravation, “What happened to my grandmother made my heart hard, so I need to hug you to ease the grief inside, can you bear to see me stay sad?”
“…… “The corners of Rong Shu’s mouth twitched, partly speechless.
What did he mean by needing to hug her to ease his inner grief.
He was clearly just using his grandmother as an excuse to take advantage of her.
But seeing as he was indeed in a somewhat indulgent mood, let’s forget it.
Rongshu sighed and her tense body relaxed, putting her hand on his shoulder, ready to push him, back as well, “Alright, you’re allowed to hug for a while, you’ll have to let go after a while ah, I have to go wash up.”
“Mmm.” Fu Jingting buried his head back into the nook of her neck and muffled a reply.
At first, he was really just holding her honestly.
But it wasn’t long before he began to be unfaithful, his thin lips kissing her neck twice before opening his mouth to bite it again.
It didn’t hurt, but it tickled.
Rongshu couldn’t help but shrink her neck and slapped the man on the back, “What are you doing?”
Fu Jingting raised his head and looked at her with a dark gaze, his throat knot slid twice before his voice was a bit seductive and husky as he said, “Little Yezi, did you leave that one?”
Rongshu could not hear what he was referring to, her face instantly flushed, “No.”
Fu Jingting’s eyes flashed with disappointment, “How much longer?”
He really, really wanted her so badly.
He had been holding back for a long time.
If she didn’t finish, he was afraid that he would be suffocated and go crazy.
Seeing how anxious the man looked, Rong Shu gave him a good-natured elbow, “What’s your hurry?”
Fu Jingting hugged her tightly, “How can I not be anxious? The one I love is clearly right in front of me, but I can’t have it, how can I bear it?”
Rongshu’s face turned even redder before she pushed him away and stood up, “I have to suffer even if I can’t bear it, anyway, just take your time and wait.”
With those words, she walked towards the bathroom.
Fu Jingting looked at her back and rubbed his brow helplessly, then let out a low laugh.
It could not be helped, let’s wait.
After some days, when what he wanted had been achieved, he could really rest a*sured that he had really gotten her.
In the washroom, Rong Shu stood in front of the sink, looking at her blushing face in the mirror, and hurriedly turned on the tap and splashed a handful of cold water on her face, trying to bring down the temperature.
However, after splashing cold water several times in a row, the temperature on my face did not come down, it was still so hot.
Even her heartbeat was in turmoil and she couldn’t calm down.
It was all Fu Jingting’s fault, she was clearly talking about her grandmother, but he ended up bringing it right back to that.
Now, she was so full of those scraps that she couldn’t calm her heart down.
He was really good at ruining the atmosphere.
As she was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the bathroom door, and a man’s voice came from outside the door, “Little Yezi, there are no toiletries in this bathroom, only the bathroom in my room, I’ve asked someone to prepare all your toiletries, they’re all kept in the bathroom in my room, so if you want to wash up, go to my room.”
Rongshu wiped her hands and walked over, opening the door, “Got it.”
Fu Jingting looked at her wet hair and asked with a frown, “What’s wrong with your hair?”
