Chapter 79
How did she know what to do? If she had known, she wouldn’t be so tense in her heart right now.
How on earth did Rong Shu know that something was going to happen to the Gao family?
Gu Manyin bit her lower lip, her eyes dark and uncertain as she looked in the direction where Rong Shu had left.
The doctor in the surgery department saw her, and she was still in the hospital.
The doctor in the surgery department was quite surprised to see her, “Didn’t you come to change the medicine last night, why are you here now?”
Rongshu didn’t expect the doctor to recognise her, so she coughed a little awkwardly, “So what, I’m here to see my feet this time.”
“To see the feet?” The doctor bent down and looked around the corner of the table towards her feet.
Seeing her high swollen ankle, he shook his head sympathetically, “Miss, you’re really having a lot of trouble, the injury on your head hasn’t healed yet and your foot is still broken like this, I advise you to go to the temple later and pay your respects.”
“Pfft!” Cheng Huai couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud.
Rongshu had already blushed at the doctor’s comment, and now when she heard his laughter, she was even more furious, directly bending her elbow and bumping it over, “Shut up!”
“Ow!” Cheng Huai covered his waist in pain, his face twisted, “You woman, you’re hitting too hard.”
“Who told you to laugh at me?” Rong Shu gave him a cool look.
He skimmed his lips, “Fine, fine, I won’t laugh anymore.”
Rongshu grunted, and only then did she let him go.
While the doctor was administering medicine to Rong Shu’s foot, Cheng Huai didn’t forget to pry into the Gao family.
When he learned that the current head of the Gao family had been taken away by the discipline inspection, and that other members of the Gao family were also being investigated, he turned his head slightly and looked at Rong Shu with astonishment.
Even he didn’t know that something would happen to the Gao family, but this woman would actually know in advance.
This was too strange.
Rong Shu heard the contents of Cheng Huai’s phone call and naturally knew exactly why he was looking at herself like that, hooking her lips and smiling, “You want to know how I knew that something would happen to the Gao family, right?”
“Mm-hmm.” Cheng Huai nodded his head repeatedly, “Tell me about it.”
“No!” Rongshu smirked and returned his two words.
Cheng Huai choked for a moment, then cheekily continued to move over and said with a smile, “Don’t be like that, at least I helped you when you confronted Gu Manyin and the others.”
“That’s true.”
“So tell me, what’s going on?”
The person who kidnapped her seemed to be one of my suitors, and then Gu Mangyin thought that I had asked that suitor to kidnap her to avenge himself.”
“Just this revenge.” She pointed to the bandage on her head, “And Gao Meiling, in order to get back at Gu Mangyin, used her status as the daughter of the Gao family to get several major banks in Hai City to reject my loan application.”
“Wait a minute, you mean Gao Meiling used her own identity ……,” Cheng Huai’s eyes went wide with shock.
Rong Shu nodded, “That’s right.”
Cheng Huai took a moment to calm down and laughed mockingly twice, “So that’s how it is, meddling in other city’s political affairs, this is a big taboo in the officialdom, her father doesn’t even dare to do that, she actually dares, so pitiful, her father is going to cry, right?”
Hearing this comical description of his, Rong Shu laughed.
Cheng Huai looked at her, “So it was you who reported it?”
Rong Shu shook her head, “No, it was an employee of mine who has a very good background.”
“An employee with a background?” A strange look flashed across Cheng Huai’s eyes, “Then you’re really lucky.”
Rongshu smiled noncommittally, “Yes, my luck is indeed quite good.”
Since taking over Tiansheng, she had encountered many problems, but every time she had turned them into successes because of the people around her.
Lu Qi, Chen Xingnuo, Cheng Huai, and a ……zh, all of these people are her precious people, how fortunate she is to have met them.
“This time something happened to the Gao family, Gao Meiling will definitely hold a grudge against Gu Manyin, it will not be easy for Gu Manyin in the future, that woman Gao Meiling is a crazy person.” Cheng Huai said with a smile, the gloating on his face was undisguised.
Rongshu tugged at the corner of her mouth and didn’t answer.
Would Gu Manyin have a hard time?
She didn’t think so. With Fu Jingting protecting her, how could Gu Manyin have a bad time.
By then, the doctor had already bandaged up Rongshu and given her two crutches.
Rongshu refused Cheng Huai’s a*sistance and slowly walked outside the hospital on her own with the crutches.
When she reached the car park, she saw a familiar face, Mrs Gu, who was talking to the driver.
Seeming to notice that someone was looking at her, Mrs Gu stopped talking and turned around with her thermos bucket. When she saw that it was Rong Shu, her face, which was originally elegant and smiling, suddenly turned cold and her eyes were full of disgust.
Rong Shu had seen such a look many times, so naturally she was not angry, and walked towards her car with her walking stick.
But when she brushed past Madam Gu, Rongshu caught a glimpse of the necklace she was wearing around her neck.
The necklace was old in colour and vintage in style, it must have been an old necklace from many years ago.
It was surprising that a lady from the Gu family would wear such an outdated necklace.
But what surprised Rongshu most was the familiarity this necklace gave her, as if she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn’t remember.
Rongshu didn’t think too much about it and pulled open the car door to get into the car.
It was Cheng Huai who greeted Mrs. Gu from behind.
Mrs. Gu smiled back at him and then asked, “Is Mr. Cheng very close to that person?”
Cheng Huai knew who she was asking about and glanced towards Rong Shu’s car, “Not bad, I guess. Mrs. Gu seems to have something to tell me when she asks this.”
“With all due respect, Mr. Cheng should stay away from that person, people with evil hearts will only bring misfortune to those around them.” Mrs Gu said in a tone that could not hide her disgust.
Cheng Huai hooked his lips, “A malicious heart? I don’t really see it, why does Mrs. Gu think she has a vicious heart?”
“The matter of Mangyin is out there, doesn’t that tell you anything?” Mrs. Gu frowned.
Cheng Huai stretched his hands, “But as far as I know, this matter was not done by Rong Shu, even if it was, it was Gu Manyin who harmed her first, and she only fought back, to say that it was vicious, it should also be Gu Manyin.”
“You ……” Mrs. Gu’s face sank in anger, and then she snorted coldly, “I only advised you this because Mr. Cheng is a friend of Jing Ting’s. Since you didn’t listen then forget it, I just hope Mr. Cheng won’t regret it in the future. ”
Cheng Huai smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter if I regret it or not, what matters is that I know Jing Ting will regret it.”
He suddenly bent down, slightly close to Mrs. Gu’s ear, lowered his voice and said “Jing Ting is blind and can’t see your daughter’s true face, but I can see it clearly, and Jing Ting can’t be blind all his life, he will one day know your daughter’s true side, what should your daughter do then?”
“……” Mrs Gu looked at him with terrified eyes.
The smile on his face was comparable to the devil in Mrs. Gu’s opinion.
Mrs. Gu’s lips moved as if she was going to say something, but in the end she said nothing, grabbed the thermos bucket carrying handle in her hand, and walked away with a slightly white face.
Looking at Madam Gu’s somewhat desolate figure, Cheng Huai stroked his chin, his smile growing thicker and thicker, but under his eyes was an icy coldness.
In theory, this Mrs. Gu was Jing Ting’s future mother-in-law, so he should be polite for Jing Ting’s sake.
But who let the Gu family be unethical, being a company in Hai City, but crossing over to the Cheng family to get the green light from the Gao family in Nanjiang, this was simply not putting the Cheng family in his eyes, so then don’t blame him for not giving the Gu family a good look.
“What did you just say to her, why did you scare her like that?” Rongshu asked curiously when she saw that Cheng Huai had returned to the car.
Chapter 80
Cheng Huai said with a smile while buckling his seat belt “Nothing, I told her a horror story.”
“Do I look like a good liar?” Rongshu looked at him speechlessly.
Cheng Huai started the car with a helpless expression, “I’m telling the truth, what can I do if you don’t believe me!”
“Boring!” Rongshu rolled her eyes and withdrew her gaze.
Cheng Huai suddenly turned his head and gave her a quick glance, “Mr. Rong, I just suddenly realized that you and Mrs. Gu look a bit alike.”
“Huh?” Rong Shu was a little confused, “I look like her?”
“Yes.”
“How is that possible!” Rongshu shook her head, “Don’t joke about it.”
“I’m not joking, I’m serious, your facial profile and eyes, they really do look like hers.” Cheng Huai nodded his head seriously.
He then added, “It’s almost exactly the same, anyone would believe it if they said you were mother and daughter.”
Rongshu was now sure that Cheng Huai was indeed not joking, and froze for a moment.
But soon, she regained her composure and waved her hand, “Just like it, it’s not like there aren’t people who look alike in this world, it’s nothing unusual.”
“That’s true.” Cheng Huai responded.
Neither of them put this discovery to heart and quickly put it behind them.
Rongshu rolled down the car window and let the cold wind blow on her face, “By the way, I have a question I want to ask you.”
“Go ahead.” Cheng Huai listened to the car music, his body swaying gently to the drum beat of the music.
Rongshu gave the irresponsible driver a blank look and said, “Your friend, whose WeChat name is zh?”
“What?” The music was so loud that Cheng Huai didn’t hear it clearly for a moment.
Rongshu pinched her brow with a headache and shouted “zh is who!”
Giggle!
After the sharp sound of tyres on the ground, the car came to a halt, and the two people in the car both lunged forward, seeing that they were about to crash, and were pulled back into their seats by their seat belts.
Rongshu was so frightened that her face turned white, and it took her a while to slow down, turning her head in anger and slapping Cheng Huai on the arm, “What are you doing?”
Cheng Huai also knew that he had just almost caused an accident, so he let go of the steering wheel and wiped his face, “Cough cough, sorry, mistake mistake mistake.”
If she hadn’t suddenly asked about zh just now, he wouldn’t have suddenly been startled into slamming on the brakes.
Rongshu rubbed her temples, “Okay, you’d better explain your real identity to Xingnuo yourself, I can’t afford a driver like you.”
“Don’t, you can’t reject me wholesale just because I made one driving mistake.” Cheng Huai looked at her with a smile.
Rongshu chuckled twice, “Drive!”
Cheng Huai shrugged his shoulders and drove on again, but out of the corner of his eyes he was peeking at her, “You just asked me who zh was, right?”
“Mm.” Rong Shu nodded her head.
Cheng Huai’s eyes rolled up, “What did you ask him for?”
Rong Shu lowered her eyelids to hide the look in her eyes and said lightly, “Nothing, I happened to friend him and he helped me twice, so I wanted to know about him, he said he was your friend, so I asked you.”
“So.” Cheng Huai didn’t dare to look at her, afraid that she would see the weakness in his eyes, “He is indeed my friend, but I don’t know him particularly well, I don’t even know his name, we only had a few drinks together, and now he’s gone abroad.”
“So.” Rongshu nodded her head.
Going abroad would mean that she wouldn’t be able to see him anymore.
For a moment, Rong Shu sighed in relief.
She was actually afraid that she would meet him one day and then add to the awkwardness, after all, she and Cheng Huai were quite close.
Now that he was abroad, then she wasn’t worried anymore.
But for some reason, there was an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart.
Rongshu looked out of the window and didn’t speak anymore.
Cheng Huai breathed a faint sigh of relief, but in his heart he was thinking about going to Fu Jingting later and taking advantage of him.
After all, it took him a lot of effort to help Fu Jingting cover his vest.
Half an hour later, Repulse Bay arrived.
Rongshu got out of the car and limped into the building with two crutches.
As soon as she stepped out of the lift, the teenager squatting in front of her flat door’s eyes lit up and immediately stood up, “You’re finally back, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time …… what happened to your foot?”
The teenager looked at her casted foot in surprise, as well as the two crutches under her armpits.
Rong Shu did not answer Fu Jinglin’s question, but looked at him with a frown, “What brings you here?”
Fu Jinglin hung his head down and said sullenly, “My mother and I had another fight and she asked me to quit the basketball team.
Rongshu smiled mockingly, “What do you take me for, running to me when you run away from home?”
“I have nowhere else to go.” Fu Jinglin said squirmingly.
He actually didn’t know himself why he had come to her place.
He just knew that after coming here, he would feel very calm inside.
“Your Fu family, with a large family and properties everywhere, are you still afraid of having nowhere to go?” Rongshu took out her keys, “Get out of the way, I want to open the door.”
Fu Jinglin moved a step to the side and gave way to the door.
He was standing behind her, looking as if he was going to follow her in at any moment.
Rongshu stopped opening the door and turned her head to look at him, “Are you really going to follow me in?”
“I told you, I have nowhere to go, I’m staying with you tonight.” Fu Jinglin looked down at her with an attitude of not leaving even if he was beaten to death.
Although he was only a teenager, he was already over one meter tall due to his basketball playing.
Rongshu had to look up to see his face.
“Staying with me is fine, but who am I to let you stay for nothing, one hundred thousand a night.” Rong Shu made a gesture of counting money at him.
Fu Jinglin’s whole body exploded, “One hundred thousand yuan, why don’t you go rob?”
“What, you can’t afford it, don’t stay if you can’t pay.” Rongshu stretched one hand out, indicating that there was nothing she could do.
Fu Jinglin’s face turned red, “Who says I can’t afford it? I just don’t have the money with me, can’t I give it to you next time?”
“No, if you can’t pay, hurry back, I don’t take credit, and who am I to take in the son of an enemy.” Rongshu said, opened the door and was about to go in.
Fu Jinglin’s face turned white for a moment at her words about her enemy’s son, but he quickly recovered and wanted to follow her in.
Rong Shu immediately skewed the door over, leaving a crack, “I said, if you don’t have money, leave.”
“I’m not leaving!” Fu Jinglin looked at her angrily through the doorway, “I know my mother is wrong, so I’ll give you more money as compensation next time.”
Rongshu smiled, “No way!”
Can money compensate for six years of damage?
“This won’t work and that won’t work either, so what do you want?” Fu Jinglin stomped his foot.
Rongshu looked at him, “It’s simple, I want you to leave.”
“I won’t go!” Fu Jinglin insisted.
“If you don’t leave, then you can stay outside, don’t expect me to be soft-hearted and let you in.”
After saying that, she directly closed the door behind her.
Fu Jinglin stared dumbfounded at the door in front of him, unable to believe that she actually did this, closing the door when she said so.
For a moment, Fu Jinglin couldn’t help but feel a little aggrieved, and then gamely sat on his buttocks on the floor, complaining in his heart that Rong Shu was heartless, but also vaguely regretting and even reflecting.
The more he reflected on his actions towards her over the past six years, the more he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
After entering the house, Rongshu did not leave, but stood behind the door looking at the visible.
Seeing that Fu Jinglin was really sticking around, he couldn’t help but feel a little headache.
This guy, he was deliberately sent by the heavens to torment her, right?
Rongshu took out her mobile phone and dialed Fu Jingting’s number.
When Fu Jingting saw the caller ID, a strange glint flashed in his eyes before he answered, “Hello?”
