Chapter 77
Rongshu and Fu Jingting both looked up as Cheng Huai walked over with a car key twirling in his finger.
Fu Jingting narrowed his eyes and looked at Cheng Huai, then at the woman beside him, his eyebrows knitted up.
Why did she let Cheng Huai come and pick her up.
Between them, when had their relationship become so good?
When Cheng Huai saw Fu Jingting, he was also a little surprised, “Jingting, why are you here too, and you’re sitting with General Manager Rong, you two aren’t on a date, are you? ”
He pointed at the two playfully.
The two of you are not dating, are you? ”
“Is that so? ” Cheng Huai rubbed his chin with a disbelieving look.
Fu Jingting didn’t say anything, but he didn’t deny it either.
Cheng Huai saw that he was already convinced, and skimmed his lips rather uninterestedly, then he saw Rong Shu’s high swollen ankle and was dismayed, “Mr. Rong, what happened to your foot? ”
“It’s broken. ” Rong Shu put her shoes back on and returned lightly.
Cheng Huai tsked twice, “This fracture is quite serious, I’m afraid it has hurt the bones, right?”
“So your next task is to take me to the hospital.” Rongshu raised her head to look at him.
Cheng Huai made a subordinate look, “Yes boss!”
Rong Shu also got theatrical and extended her hand towards him, “Then why are you still standing there, why don’t you come over and help me.”
“Yes!”
Cheng Huai stepped forward and helped Rong Shu up from the sofa.
Fu Jingting’s face was sunken as he watched the interaction between the two with cold eyes, his thin lips slowly pursing out a few moments of coldness.
Especially when he saw Cheng Huai put an arm around Rong Shu’s waist, his surrounding breath was cold enough to freeze people.
But neither Rongshu nor Cheng Huai noticed Fu Jingting’s abnormality.
The foot that Rongshu had broken could not touch the ground at all, and it hurt when it did, so how could she be in the mood to pay attention to anything else?
On the other hand, Cheng Huai was seriously holding her up, lest she fall if she didn’t stand still, so she didn’t pay attention to anything else either.
The two of them didn’t even say goodbye and walked towards the hotel’s front door.
Fu Jingting’s eyes were dark as he watched the two leave, his cold, hard face without a trace of expression, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
“Find out whether that lift was an accident or man-made.” Fu Jingting stood up, his voice cold as he instructed.
In the past few years, with the development of the Fu Group, the Fu Group had indeed robbed some enterprises of their interests.
There was no guarantee that people from those enterprises would set out to deal with him.
“Yes.” The a*sistant Zhang at the side answered and immediately went to investigate.
Soon, he returned from his investigation, “Mr. Fu, it’s clear, it was an accident, that lift was found to be faulty in the morning, but the person in charge of the hotel didn’t stop the operation, nor did he notify someone to come and repair it, that’s why the situation we encountered occurred.”
Speaking of this, a*sistant Zhang was also a bit scared afterwards.
Fortunately, they were lucky and that lift ended up descending safely to the ground floor.
Otherwise, the consequences were simply unthinkable.
“Good one for not stopping the operation.” Fu Jingting’s face was extremely ugly as he clenched his fist, “Notify the headquarters personnel to replace the person in charge of the hotel with a new one, and also the lift to stop running for maintenance immediately.”
“Understood.” a*sistant Zhang nodded his head.
Fu Jingting’s eyes flashed, “Also, find out what happened between Rong Shu and Cheng Huai.”
Although these two had known each other before, their relationship was average, no different from a stranger.
But now these two had a sudden relationship and could still fight, to say that there was nothing between these two, he definitely did not believe it.
The a*sistant Zhang looked at the flicker of sourness in Fu Jingting’s eyes and understood in his heart that Mr. Fu was afraid that he was jealous of Miss Rong and Mr. Cheng.
But in his heart he thought so, but a*sistant Zhang did not dare to say it, and could only pretend to be confused to receive orders, “Okay.”
……
Cheng Huai helped Rong Shu into the hospital and registered at the front desk.
On the other side, Gu Mangyin’s group of people walked overq laughing and joking.
The first to spot Rong Shu was not Gu Manyin, but her little sister Meng Ke.
Meng Ke pulled Gu Manyin’s sleeve and pointed towards the registration window again, “Mangyin, look, isn’t that Rong Shu, and Mr. Cheng, how come they are together?”
Gu Manyin slowly put away her smile and looked in the direction she pointed, her eyes darkened, but her tone was soft as she said, “It’s really Miss Rong and Mr. Cheng, but Miss Rong seems to be injured.”
Her gaze shifted down and settled on the foot that Rong Shu had lifted up, the redness and swelling on it clearly visible.
“Miss Gao, was this your idea too? ” Gu Mangyin looked at Gao Meiling on the other side.
Gao Meiling also swept a glance at Rong Shu’s ankle and shook her head condescendingly, “No.”
“That’s strange.” Gu Mangyin murmured.
Meng Ke said again, “Mangyin, they’re turning around.”
Gu Manyin looked again.
This time, her gaze met Rongshu’s.
Rongshu couldn’t help but let out a laugh.
Cheng Huai looked down at her, “What are you laughing at?”
“I’m laughing, this world is really small, meeting Fu Jingting at the hotel and then Gu Manyin at the hospital, who do you think could have such luck?” Rongshu said back.
Cheng Huai looked at the three Gu Manyin as they walked over, his face full of watching a good show, “They’ve come to look for you.”
Rong Shu heard the gloating in his tone and glanced at him coolly.
The three of them stopped in front of Rongshu.
Gu Manyin smiled and greeted, “Miss Rong, Mr. Cheng, what a coincidence.”
“It’s quite a coincidence.” Rong Shu nodded indifferently, her gaze falling more on Gao Meiling beside her, not knowing what she was thinking.
Gu Manyin looked at Rong Shu and then at Cheng Huai, a different light flashed in her eyes, which quickly disappeared again, pretending to be curious and asking, “How come Miss Rong is with Mr. Cheng, won’t Mr. Lu be angry if he finds out?”
Cheng Huai raised his eyebrows.
This woman, she was provoking the relationship between Rong Shu and Lu Qi.
Rong Shu ruffled her hair around her ears, not at all flustered by being seen with another man, her voice was cool and light as she replied “How could he be angry? I have so many suitors, he would only make himself better so that I wouldn’t be snatched away, so he wouldn’t care about being angry.”
Gu Manyin’s face froze for a moment, then she smiled dryly, “Miss Rong is quite humorous.”
Meng Ke rolled her eyes disdainfully, “What humour, she’s just shameless, having a boyfriend and still hanging out with other men.”
“What, are you jealous?” Rongshu looked at her with a smile, “I have men chasing me whenever I want, and you don’t, so you’re not used to seeing me, huh?”
“I …… I’m not.” Meng Ke rose a red face.
The corner of Rongshu’s lips hooked up, “Really no? Don’t be embarra*sed to admit it, after all, you are ugly and have no manly qualities, it’s normal to be jealous of good looking ones like me who have manly qualities, I won’t laugh at you.”
“You ……” Meng Ke was so angry that she was about to cry, but in her heart she had to admit that she was indeed jealous.
Cheng Huai watched as Rong Shu disliked the person in three or two sentences, and smiled amusingly.
I wonder if Fu Jingting knew about this ex-wife of his, such a sharp-tongued side.
“Miss Rong.” Gu Manyin pulled Meng Ke behind herself, “What you just said is that Mr. Cheng is also your suitor?”
“You tell her, are you?” Rongshu elbowed Cheng Huai and warned in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “If you dare to talk nonsense, I’ll make sure you have a bad time next. ”
The corners of Cheng Huai’s mouth twitched, he didn’t want to get involved, he just wanted to watch the show, but these women had already burned the fire on him, so he had to stand out with a headache and say “Of course I am!”
He disliked Gu Manyin even more than Rong Shu.
So, it was better to be on Rong Shu’s side.
Chapter 78
Gu Manyin’s eyes widened slightly, and her eyes held disbelief.
He had actually admitted it.
He was really pursuing Rong Shu?
Not to mention how shocked Gu Manyin was, Gao Meiling and Meng Ke were equally shocked.
Gao Meiling looked at Cheng Huai like he was a fool.
Coming from a powerful family as well, Gao Meiling despised Cheng Huai in her heart for actually looking at a divorced woman.
This was simply a disgrace to the sons of their powerful and noble family!
“Mr. Cheng, would it not be good for you to do so, Miss Rong she ……” Gu Mangyin looked at Rong Shu and bit her lip, as if there was something difficult to say.
You say half and leave half like this, cover up, as if I have done something shameful, you want to tell Cheng Huai, is this what you mean?”
Gu Manyin’s heart panicked, how could she have expected that Rong Shu would actually tell her purpose directly, catching her off guard.
She hurriedly shook her head to explain, “No, I didn’t mean that, I just wanted to say that Miss Rong is Jing Ting’s ex-wife anyway, and Mr. Cheng, you are also Jing Ting’s friend, isn’t it not good for you to pursue Miss Rong?”
“No, I think it’s fine.” Cheng Huai smiled and said “Although Rong Shu is Jing Ting’s ex-wife, they are no longer related now, so it’s normal for me to pursue her.”
“But ……” Gu Manyin wanted to say something else.
Rongshu interrupted her, “Is Miss Gu that uncomfortable seeing me as popular?”
“I’m not, I’m not ……”
“Since you are not, then why did you stop Cheng Huai from pursuing me, if you are thinking that your friend’s ex-wife is untouchable, then I am still a college cla*smate with you, shouldn’t you also be unfit to touch my ex-husband?” Rong Shu looked at her with a wry smile.
Gu Manyin’s face turned red and white, and she didn’t speak anymore.
What could she say?
No matter what she said, she would be the one who couldn’t get down in the end.
“It seems that Miss Gu should have nothing more to say, let’s go.” Rongshu said to Cheng Huai.
Cheng Huai looked at Gu Manyin with a wry smile and nodded in response.
Gu Manyin was so obviously white, but only Jing Ting could not see it like a blind man, and still thought she was kind and innocent.
I really don’t know where in the world he got such a thick filter.
The two of them were just about to walk forward when Gao Meiling suddenly called out to them, “Wait a minute.”
Rongshu narrowed her eyes, “Is there anything else Miss Gao wants?”
Gu Manyin and Meng Ke also looked at Gao Meiling.
Gao Meiling looped her arms and spoke with an arrogant expression, “Isn’t Miss Rong going to apologise to Mangyin?”
“Apologize for what?” Rong Shu looked straight at her.
Gao Meiling grunted coldly, “You had your suitor kidnap Mangyin and put her in hospital, shouldn’t you apologise?”
“What, you had someone kidnap her? ” Cheng Huai’s volume rose in surprise.
Rongshu gave him a blank look, “Do you think that’s possible? ”
“I think it’s possible!” Cheng Huai nodded his head in a serious manner.
The corners of Rong Shu’s mouth twitched slightly, “Get lost!”
Cheng Huai shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking.
Only then did Rong Shu return her gaze to the two of them, Gu Manyin and Gao Meiling, “Who said that I had her kidnapped?”
“Mangyin said she heard the kidnapper reveal with her own ears that it was you who did it.” Gao Meiling picked up.
Rongshu smiled, “So Miss Gao believed it, and then stepped in to seek justice for Miss Gu, making several major banks cut off Tian Sheng’s loans?”
She had initially thought that Gao Meiling had done so as well, because of the last mahjong incident.
It was only when she just saw Gao Meiling walking beside Gu Mangyin that she rejected this conjecture, thinking that Gao Meiling doing so might be related to this kidnapping incident of Gu Mangyin, and now that she heard Gao Meiling herself mention it, she was completely sure.
A trace of surprise flashed across Gao Meiling’s eyes, “You actually knew?”
Gu Manyin and Meng Ke were also amazed.
Rongshu looked at the three’s expressions and smiled coldly, “For people not to know, unless they do not know.”
Gao Meiling straightened her face, “So what if you knew, Tian Sheng is about to be finished.”
“Is that so? “Rong Shu tilted her head, “For the sake of Miss Gu, Miss Gao personally took action against me, this friendship really touched me, but does Miss Gao really think Tian Sheng is going to be finished, I don’t think so, I think it’s your Gao family that is going to be finished.”
Gao Meiling’s pupils shrank for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure, “Is Miss Rong joking?”
“She’s not just joking, she’s deliberately teasing us, what kind of existence is the Gao family, is it up to her to say if it’s finished or not?” Meng Ke said with a look of contempt.
Gu Manyin also looked at Rong Shu with disapproval, “Miss Rong, such words cannot be said carelessly.”
“I don’t think she’s talking nonsense.” Cheng Huai suddenly spoke up, his eyes looking at Rong Shu with deep meaning.
The certainty in Rong Shu’s tone made him realise that she was afraid that she really wasn’t just saying that.
Something might really be happening to the Gao family, he just didn’t know, where did she get the information from.
“Cheng Huai, do you think what she said is true?” Gao Meiling pointed at Rong Shu and looked at Cheng Huai with dissatisfaction.
Cheng Huai was just about to open her mouth when Rong Shu snatched it, “Whether it’s true or not, you guys will soon know, I just hope that at that time, your friendship will still continue.”
After saying that, she gave a mocking smile before gesturing for Cheng Huai to take her away.
Her feet, which were already so painful that she could barely feel them.
The three of them, Gu Mangyin, didn’t stop them anymore.
Gao Meiling kept her head down, thinking about something.
Meng Jue took Gu Mangyin’s arm and looked at the two’s backs, “Che, talking so seriously, who would believe it.”
“Okay, stop it, Miss Rong is probably just too angry because of what happened to the company, so ……”
Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the sudden ringing of her mobile phone.
Gao Meiling felt inexplicably a little uneasy the moment she heard her phone ring.
She took the phone out and her heart thumped when she saw the caller ID on it.
“Mom, is there something for me?”
“Mei Ling, where are you, are you still in Hai City?” On the phone, the woman’s anxious voice came through.
The unease in Gao Meiling’s heart grew stronger, “Yes, what’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong, and you’re asking what’s wrong?” The woman burst into tears all of a sudden, her sobs carrying an angry accusation, “You’re in big trouble, we received a report that there are sons and daughters in the family meddling in the political affairs of another city, and now your father has been taken away by the disciplinary inspection, and your eldest uncle and the others have been suspended from their duties for thorough investigation.”
“What?” Gao Meiling’s face changed greatly, her hands and feet went cold, her mind instantly resounded with what Rong Shu had just said, and her body trembled.
Surprisingly, it was true!
Something had really happened to the Gao family!
“Gao Meiling I’m telling you, if the Gao family collapses, don’t blame us for disowning you as a daughter.” The woman finished speaking and cut the phone off.
Gao Meiling looked dumbfounded as she held up the phone, her mind going blank.
Gu Manyin and Meng Ke looked at each other.
Gu Manyin had concern on her face and asked in a soft voice, “Miss Gao, what’s wrong with you?”
When Gao Meiling heard her voice, she came back to her senses and remembered that the Gao family was in trouble because she had helped her teach Rong Shu a lesson.
In a flash, Gao Meiling blamed Gu Manyin for everything and said with a fierce look on her face, “Gu Manyin, I hope nothing happens to the Gao family in the end, otherwise I will never let you go!”
Dropping these words, Gao Meiling knocked Gu Manyin out of the way and quickly left the hospital.
She had to rush back to Nanjiang immediately and admit her mistake to Grandpa and the others.
Otherwise, she would really be finished.
“Mangyin, what should we do, it’s really true what Rong Shu said, something has happened to Miss Gao’s family.” Meng Ke was shocked by the development of things and hurriedly asked Gu Manyin.
Gu Manyin rubbed her shoulder which was painfully bumped, biting her lip and lowering her head, hiding the unease and panic in her eyes, without answering.
