In the past, if it wasn’t for Gu Manyin flirting behind his back, he wouldn’t have misunderstood that Sister Rong Shu was the mistress who interfered with Big Brother and Gu Manyin, and then naturally, he wouldn’t have hated Sister Rong Shu.
Although he had a bad temper in the past, it wasn’t that he didn’t know how good Sister Rongshu had been to him in those six years.
But just because he hated the mistress, he kept ignoring how good Sister Rongshu was to him, and then used his worst side to target Sister Rongshu.
Only in this way could he always remind himself not to be impressed by Sister Rongshu’s goodness; she was a mistress, a mistress who had interfered with Big Brother and Gu Manyin, and he could never be soft on the mistress because of her goodness.
And the reason why he hated the mistress so much was also because people in his circle used to say that his mother, a mistress who interfered with his father and his eldest mother, said that he was also an illegitimate child.
He was angry, yet there was nothing he could do about it, because his mother was, indeed, a mistress, though not in the conventional sense of the word.
But still, he had been subjected to a lot of ridicule since he was a child because his mother was a mistress, and even his parents had been pointed out, saying that his mother, a country bumpkin, could still make the Fu family head look at her, saying that his father, a titled family head, did not love a famous girl, but loved a rough and shrewish woman instead, and that he was really used to eating mountains and sea food, and wanted to taste whether the sh*t outside smelled good.
These words were like a sharp blade that pierced his young heart, and as a result, his already rebellious adolescence became even more rebellious, and he even became inferior to himself.
So for the past six years, he had been targeting Sister Rong Shu because he hated her for ruining the relationship between his elder brother and Gu Manyin, and even thought that Sister Rong Shu would also cause his elder brother to be ridiculed by people outside, just like his father, for actually marrying a mistress to his family.
Therefore, he had been using the worst attitude to bully Sister Rong Shu, hoping to successfully break her engagement with Big Brother, so that she would know what to do and get out of the Fu family.
But who knows, after Sister Rong Shu really left, he realized completely that Sister Rong Shu was not the mistress at all, she was the one that Big Brother had always loved, and the real mistress was Gu Manyin, who had impersonated Sister Rong Shu.
He, on the other hand, had helped the real mistress to drive the real original spouse away. At that moment, the immense guilt that he felt was so great that he could hardly breathe.
He wanted to apologise to Sister Rong Shu, but felt ashamed, and was also afraid that Sister Rong Shu would not forgive him, so he delayed gathering the courage to appear in front of Sister Rong Shu and say sorry to her, and even felt grateful later on because the u17 expedition was about to start, and then he couldn’t wait to pack his bags and leave the country and flee from Hai City.
Thinking that by fleeing Hai City, he would not have to face the guilt in his heart and would not have to apologise for the time being, yet after coming abroad, he felt more and more guilty in his heart and felt more and more that he was despicable and unashamed, not a man, and actually could not even say sorry.
However, with these few months of competition down, after relieving many people and experiencing many failures in competition, he had grown up a lot and matured slightly in his mind, and also finally had the courage to dial this phone call.
This time, he must say out his inner apology.
As he thought, Fu Jinglin on the other end of the phone shook his fist and cheered himself up.
Rongshu didn’t know what the teenager on the other end of the phone was thinking, and with a tug on her red lips, she coldly snorted, “Being deluded doesn’t deny what you did in the past.”
“”Fu Jinglin choked for a moment, speechless.
Yes, even if he had been deceived, he was the one who couldn’t tell the truth, and he was the one who had committed those excesses, not forced by Gu Manyin.
So, he was indeed guilty as charged.
Seeing that the teenager on the other end of the phone was silent and breathing heavily, Rong Shu flicked her nails and said lightly, “What? Am I blowing you off?”
“Mm.” Fu Jinglin nodded.
He was only seventeen, not yet eighteen, but because of his basketball game, he had already grown very tall by now, fully one meter nine, two centimeters taller than Fu Jingting.
Sitting on the small row of chairs, he was just like a small mountain.
But this was such a tall person, but at this moment, he was making a docile face, looking somewhat comical, “But I also know that I deserved it.”
A trace of surprise flashed in Rongshu’s eyes before she smiled, “You actually know that you deserve it, not bad, Fu Jinglin, now you are much more likeable than you used to be.”
Although she hadn’t seen him, after a few short sentences tonight, she could still feel the change in this boy.
The Fu Jinglin of the past was gloomy and prickly, with a strong sense of pride, unable to listen to heavy words or any mockery of his words, and would storm off when he heard them, as well as the way he looked at people and the tone of his voice, which was also very sharp.
But now it was gone, the eyes she didn’t know, but the tone of voice, without the sharpness of the past, had become calm, even her mockery of him tonight, he didn’t get angry, that’s why she was surprised that he had changed so much.
There was no telling what he had been through these past few months.
When Fu Jinglin heard Rong Shu say that he was more likeable than he used to be, his heart fluttered with joy and a naive smile appeared on his face, “Sister-in-law, so in that case, you like me now?”
I still remember all the things you did in the past, if you want me to like you, you can wait.”
She hadn’t completely changed her mind about him yet.
Fu Jinglin sighed with loss, “You just said that, I thought, you have started to like me now.”
“Dream on.” Rongshu threw these three words at him without mercy.
Fu Jinglin pouted unhappily, “Sister-in-law, why, ah, you’ve gotten back together with big brother, that means you’ve forgiven big brother for what he did to you in the past, then I”
“Stop it!” Rongshu frowned and hurriedly interrupted him, saying coldly, “You still want to compare yourself with your big brother? I can forgive him and get back together with him, not because of his mouth, but because of his actual actions, but you? You haven’t done anything and you want me to forgive you, you think so well, why don’t you go to heaven?”
“I,” Fu Jinglin hung his head in defeat, “Okay, I was the one who was shameless, I was wrong.”
Just now, he did think of taking advantage of big brother’s east wind to make Sister Rongshu forgive herself.
After all, he thought, big brother had been forgiven, so it wasn’t much more than one more for him, right?
Therefore, he hadn’t even thought about what kind of efforts big brother had made to get Sister Rong Shu to forgive him.
Now, although Sister Rong Shu didn’t explicitly say so either, listening to the serious tone of this Sister Rong Shu, he thought that Big Brother must have done something very important for Sister Rong Shu in exchange for forgiveness and getting back together.
And compared to big brother, it was indeed a bit shameless to want to be forgiven without a single word of apology from himself.
Rongshu rubbed her temples, “Alright, cut the crap, what exactly did you call me tonight for?”
Fu Jinglin touched the tip of his nose, “It’s nothing important, I’ve been in closed competition and training for the past few months, I usually don’t have access to electronics, so I didn’t even know you and big brother were back together, I only found out about it today when I got my phone after the competition, I’m not happy about it, so I wanted to call you and talk to you.”
