Chapter 73
Fu Jingting’s brow furrowed.
She had deleted his phone number?
Seeing that the person on the phone was hesitant to speak, Rong Shu tilted her head in confusion and prepared to hang up.
Just then, there was finally movement on the phone, and a man’s low, pleasant voice came out, “It’s me.”
Rong Shu’s pupils shrank slightly, stopping the pen in her hand and bringing the phone from her ear to her heel, seeing the familiar string of numbers, her red lips pursed up.
It was really him!
Even though she had deleted all his contact details after the divorce, she could still recognise him at a glance when she saw this string of numbers!
Taking a deep breath, Rong Shu put away her sourness and asked expressionlessly, “Is there something wrong with Mr. Fu?”
Hearing the indifference in her tone, Fu Jingting’s face sank.
When she hadn’t recognised him, she could be so gentle with a stranger.
But to him, she was so indifferent.
Suppressing his displeasure, Fu Jingting pursed his lips and said, “I’m here to apologise to you.”
Rongshu dropped the pen and leaned back, “Apologize? Did Mr. Fu do something wrong to me?”
“It’s my mother, I’m sorry for causing you any trouble.” Fu Jingting lowered his eyes, his voice tinged with a hint of apology.
Rong Shu laughed mockingly, “So this is the apology, Mr. Fu is really fortunate, apologizing for his fiancée, and now for his own mother, will he have to apologize for his brother next time?”
Fu Jingting said coldly, “There is no next time.”
“That’s not necessarily true, I don’t know how much trouble your Fu family can cause, especially that mother of yours.” At the mention of Wang Shuqin, Rongshu couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “Mr. Fu, can I ask you a question, it’s been hidden in my heart for a long time.”
Fu Jingting pressed the Bluetooth in his ear suspiciously, “What question?”
“Are you really your mother’s own child?” Rongshu rested her cheeks.
Wang Shuqin was a typical shrew, even if she dressed like a noblewoman every day, she did not look like a noblewoman, instead, she exuded a coarse and mean aura from her bones.
It was really hard for her to imagine that such a woman could give birth to a son like Fu Jingting.
Fu Jingting’s eyes flashed, “What are you asking this for?”
“Just curious.” Rongshu shrugged her shoulders.
Fu Jingting turned the steering wheel, “Yes.”
Was it really her own mother?
Rong Shu sighed with some disappointment.
It seemed to be a genetic mutation.
Rongshu picked up the pen again, “Alright Mr. Fu, I have nothing more to ask, that’s it, please keep an eye on your mother from now on, don’t come to my place again and scream.”
Howling and screaming?
Fu Jingting’s face was cold, “Rong Shu, can you not speak so sharply?”
“Shrill? “Rong Shu laughed, “Mr. Fu, do you still expect me to be conciliatory to you? Why don’t you think about how you have been treating me for the past six years, so why should I still be nice, who do you think you are?”
After saying these words, she directly cut off the communication.
Fu Jingting listened to a beep in his Bluetooth headset, knowing that the call had hung up, and freed a hand from the steering wheel to rub his brow.
”Why don’t you think about how you’ve treated me these past six years?” Her words kept lingering in the back of his mind, even as his heart felt like a boulder had been pressed against it, weighing him down.
For he could not deny that they had indeed treated her badly in these six years.
During the contemplation, the hospital arrived.
Fu Jingting parked the car and sat in it for a little while before getting out and walking towards the inpatient department.
In the senior ward, Gu Manyin was watching television, while Mrs Gu was sitting by her bedside, peeling an apple.
Hearing a knock at the door, Mrs Gu looked up and smiled, “Mangyin, look who’s here?”
Gu Manyin turned her head to look at the door and saw Fu Jingting coming in from outside, first she was happy, then her eyes got red, “Jingting ……”
She lifted the blanket and lunged towards him.
Fu Jingting just walked over to the hospital bed and held her in his arms, stroking her hair, “Why are you crying?”
“I missed you.” Gu Manyin buried her head in his chest.
Fu Jingting’s eyes softened, “I’m not here now.”
Mrs. Gu looked at the two of them so close, put the chopped apple aside and smilingly stood up from her chair, “Jingting, you’ve come just in time, stay with Mangyin, I’ll go out and ask the doctor when Mangyin can be discharged.”
“Good.” Fu Jingting faintly nodded his head.
As Mrs. Gu left, he touched Gu Manyin’s forehead, the fever had gone down, and put his heart down.
“Is there anything else that is uncomfortable?” Fu Jingting asked as he withdrew his hand.
Gu Manyin pouted aggressively, “Yes, my head is still dizzy.”
“Then rest a little longer.” Fu Jingting straightened the pillow and let her lie down.
Gu Manyin shook her head, “I don’t want to sleep, you just stay with me.”
Fu Jingting had no objection and sat down at the edge of the hospital bed.
Gu Manyin hugged his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder, “Jingting, this morning my aunt came to see me, after she heard that I had been kidnapped and that it was related to Miss Rong, she said she wanted to go and settle the score with Miss Rong, I couldn’t pull her away.”
“I know.”
“You know?” Gu Manyin looked up at the man’s perfect side face, “Then Auntie Mother didn’t do anything to Miss Rong, did she?”
What did she do to Rong Shu?
Fu Jingting lowered his eyes.
Mum did want to do something to Rong Shu, but in the end, she was sent to the police station by Rong Shu.
But Rongshu hadn’t suffered any loss at all.
When he thought of this, Fu Jingting’s thin lips slightly curved out into a smile, and his eyes held a softness he didn’t even know he had.
When Gu Manyin saw this, she knew who this tenderness was for. Her heart was alarmed and her palms were clenched, but her face was puzzled as she asked “Jingting, what are you laughing at?”
When he mentioned Rong Shu, he actually smiled and showed such a gentle expression.
No, she must get rid of Rongshu as soon as possible, otherwise if this continues, he will really fall in love with Rongshu, he doesn’t know it himself, but she can see clearly that he has already started to have Rongshu’s shadow in his heart now.
Laughing?
Fu Jingting’s eyes sank slightly, his expression returned to its usual cool expression, turning his head slightly to look at Gu Manyin, “Nothing, just thought of something interesting.”
“So.” Gu Manyin reluctantly squeezed the corners of her mouth, the bottom of her heart was obscure.
At that moment, Mrs. Gu came back, “Mangyin, the doctor said you can be discharged tomorrow.”
“Great, I don’t want to stay in the hospital at all, I’ve been in the hospital for six years, I’m tired of it.” Gu Manyin said happily.
Fu Jingting doted on her and rubbed her hair.
Mrs. Gu looked at him and suddenly asked, “By the way Jingting, has the fox man been found out?”
When Gu Manyin heard the word fox man, her smiling face immediately turned frightened, “Jing Ting ……”
Fu Jingting took her in his arms and patted her back, softly rea*suring her, “Don’t be afraid.”
Mrs. Gu also had some regrets, “I’m sorry Mangyin, mum didn’t mean to bring it up, you ……”
“I’m fine mum.” Gu Manyin shook her head with tears in her eyes, “I deserve this, if I hadn’t hurt Miss Rong first because I was insecure, Miss Rong wouldn’t have let someone kidnap me, so it’s all my own fault.”
“What is your fault.” Mrs. Gu also cried, “It’s clearly that woman Rong Shu is too vicious, you did hurt her first yes, but we also compensated her ah, she suffered something and still let someone bully you, it’s simply too abominable!”
Gu Manyin lowered her head and sobbed a little, seemingly unable to understand why Rong Shu had to do that either.
Fu Jingting frowned as he watched, “Auntie, Mangyin, this time it has nothing to do with Rong Shu, it was that fox man’s own idea to kidnap you Mangyin, it wasn’t Rong Shu who instructed it.”
“Jingting, you’re helping Rong Shu speak?” Mrs Gu looked at him in disbelief.
Chapter 74
Fu Jingting shook his head slightly, “I’m not speaking for her, it’s the truth.”
“But ……” Mrs. Gu wanted to say something else.
Gu Manyin pulled her sleeve and forced a strong smile, “Mom, forget it, since Jingting thinks that Miss Rong didn’t do it, then it should be true.”
When Fu Jingting heard this, his brows knitted slightly, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t tell.
And Mrs Gu heard it and glared at him in anger.
When Mangyin woke up, she had said that she had heard the kidnappers reveal that it was the fox man ordered by that woman, Rong Shu, in order to get back at Mangyin.
But he was so good that he kept on speaking for that woman Rongshu to make Mangyin sad, and Mangyin even protected him.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the ward, and a*sistant Zhang stood at the door, “Mr. Fu.”
“What is it?” Fu Jingting’s thin lips lightly opened.
a*sistant Zhang glanced at Gu Manyin, “The investigation you asked me to do on Li Chuan, there are already results.”
Fu Jingting’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Wait for me outside.”
“Yes.” a*sistant Zhang answered and left through the door.
Fu Jingting pulled his arm out, “Mangyin, I’m going out.”
Gu Manyin smiled and nodded, “Good.”
Fu Jingting helped her lie down and covered her with the blanket before he got up and went out.
After the door closed, Fu Jingting looked at a*sistant Zhang.
a*sistant Zhang handed him a document in his hand, “President, this is Li Chuan’s details, he is an orphan, he grew up in Jiangxian, he was sponsored by Miss Rong’s father and daughter when he was a teenager before he started to go to school and study, after he became an adult he was discovered by a talent scout and entered the modeling circle because of his appearance, in conclusion, he is not a fox man.”
“No?” Fu Jingting wrinkled his brows.
a*sistant Zhang nodded, “That’s right, I asked Mr. Gu, he has met Fox Man twice, from Mr. Gu’s description it can be seen that Fox Man is a top hacker, while Li Chuan has never been in contact with this piece, in addition he has been shooting portraits in the snowy mountains recently, people have caught a cold, while Fox Man has not, so it is certain that he is not.”
“Mr. Fu, so what should we do now?” a*sistant Zhang looked at the man.
The man pondered for a moment, pursed his thin lips and said “Check Rongshu’s relationships, that fox man must be someone Rongshu knows, check all of these people out.”
“Understood!” a*sistant Zhang nodded his head.
“Mr. Fu.” A restrained female voice came from behind him.
Fu Jingting turned around and saw Meng Ke and Gao Meiling walking this way with flowers in their arms.
“Mr. Fu, is Mangyin here?” Meng Jue didn’t dare to look directly at the man, slightly bowing his head and saying somewhat timidly “We heard that Mangyin was sick, so we came to see her.”
“It’s in the ward.” Fu Jingting pointed at the door of the ward.
“Thank you, Mr. Fu.” Meng Ke’s face lit up with joy as she turned her head to look at Gao Meiling beside her, “Miss Gao, let’s go in.”
“Mm.” Gao Meiling lifted her chin arrogantly.
Meng Ke stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Gao Meiling stood still and surveyed Fu Jingting.
Last time in the box, she hadn’t looked at this man very closely, but this time she finally got a good look at him, an extremely high-quality man.
In terms of appearance alone, her husband Li Zhennan was no match for him.
Thinking of the man who wanted to divorce herself, Gao Meiling’s eyes darkened and she withdrew her gaze.
“Miss Gao, Mangyin is letting us in.” Meng Ke opened the door of the ward and waved towards Gao Meiling.
“Coming.” Gao Meiling answered, nodded slightly at Fu Jingting and stepped over on her high heels.
“Let’s go.” Fu Jingting threw the documents in his hands into a*sistant Zhang’s arms and lifted his feet in the direction of the lift.
a*sistant Zhang followed him closely, “Mr. Fu, you’re not staying with Miss Gu at the hospital?”
“No, it’s fine with Miss Gao and the girls accompanying me.” Fu Jingting replied indifferently, then took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Gu Manyin, telling her that he was leaving.
Gu Manyin looked at the message in her phone, bit her lower lip, and returned the word good with an uncomfortable heart.
“Mangyin, what’s wrong with you?” Seeing that she was unhappy, Meng Ke put the flowers away and asked.
Gu Manyin put away her phone and smiled, “I’m fine, thank you for coming to see me.”
“It’s nothing, we’re good sisters.” Meng Ke waved her hand.
Gao Meiling sat on the chair by the hospital bed, her legs elegantly folded, “I heard you were kidnapped, what’s going on?”
Although this matter was not publicized, the Gu family did not hide the fact that Gu Manyin had entered the hospital, the circle knew about it, and a little investigation made it clear why she had entered the hospital.
Meng Ke’s mouth opened wide in surprise, “Mangyin, you were kidnapped, who did it?”
Gu Manyin’s eyes were wet, but she forced a smile onto her face, “It was Miss Rong’s suitor, because I accidentally injured Miss Rong the other day, so her suitor kidnapped me in order to avenge her.”
“What, that’s too much, you were all careless, and that what a crappy suitor actually kidnapped you!” Meng Ke’s face turned red with anger and righteous indignation.
Gu Mangyin smiled bitterly, “He probably thought that I had hurt Miss Rong on purpose, that’s why ……”
The latter words, she did not say.
Meng Ke’s chest rose and fell violently in anger, “Humph, I think this matter must have something to do with Rong Shu as well, maybe she instructed that suitor of hers to do it.”
“No, Jing Ting said it had nothing to do with Miss Rong.” Gu Mangyin waved her hand, as if she was afraid that they had misunderstood.
Gao Meiling rubbed her chin and mused, “How does he know it’s not related to Rong Shu? ‘
“I don’t know, maybe he asked Miss Rong to ask. ” Gu Mangyin shook her head, looking gloomy as she returned.
Meng Ke crossed her arms, “Then Mr. Fu must have been deceived by Rong Shu, Mangyin, we must not let her go ……”
“But ……” Gu Manyin bit her lip, seemingly in a difficult position.
Meng Ke looked at her like this and was heartbroken, “Don’t but, she bullied you so much, she dared to let someone kidnap you this time, there is no telling what she will do to you next time, so we must teach her a lesson and let her know that we are not easy to bully either.”
“I’ll do it then.” Gao Meiling spoke in a cold voice.
Gu Mangyin looked at her, “Miss Gao, what do you want to do?”
Gao Meiling flicked her red nails, “I heard that Tiansheng is borrowing from the bank recently, I can start with that, jamming the bank’s funds, without the bank’s capital injection, it will be difficult for Tiansheng to maintain its operation.”
With that, she took out her mobile phone and called the governors of the major banks.
Meng Ke looked at her with an adoring expression.
Gu Manyin saw this scene and the corners of her mouth hooked imperceptibly.
Tian Sheng, Tong Xi hurriedly walked into Rong Shu’s office, “General Manager Rong, it’s not good, something has happened.”
“What is it?” Rong Shu raised her head from behind a pile of documents.
Tong Xi reported, “I just received calls from several banks, saying that our loan conditions were not met and they refused to lend us money, several other banks that had lent money even said that there was an error in the review at the time and asked us to return the loan immediately.”
“What?” Rong Shu’s face changed and she fiercely clenched the pen in her hand, “How could this happen?”
“I don’t know either, but with all these banks doing this at the same time, I guess someone must be behind this to screw us.” Tong Xi said as she looked at her.
A name instantly popped into Rongshu’s mind, “Gu Yaotian!”
“Are you saying that Sangsheng Group did it?”
Rong Shu narrowed her eyes, “Apart from them, I don’t think there’s anyone else.”
If Gu Yaotian really did it, it must be because of the land.
Either that or it was because of Gu Manyin, in any case it must be related to these two things.
“Then, Mr. Rong, what should we do now?” Tong Xi asked.
