If she had pushed him away that day, even if Mr. Lu would still not have accepted her feelings, he would at least not have hated her.
But it was too late to regret, it had been so long ago.
And she, too, was pregnant!
Secretary Tong clenched her palms, her emotions a little out of control.
In theory, from the moment she was confirmed to be pregnant, she should have aborted the baby and made a clean break with what happened that day.
After all, it was impossible for Lu to let her have this child, let alone accept it.
However, her feelings for Mr. Lu made her too ruthless to abort the child.
Reason told her that she should abort it, otherwise she would not have a father to love, and it would not be fair to the child, and it would be a very selfish act for Mr. Lu, as she let him have an illegitimate child out of wedlock.
But emotionally, she really couldn’t do away with it.
By now, it had been over two months and she hadn’t even come up with an idea.
At this rate, she didn’t even know what to do.
“Secretary Tong?” Rong Shu reached out her hand and waved it twice in front of Secretary Tong’s eyes.
Secretary Tong’s eyes flickered back and her lips trembled as she asked, “What’s wrong Chairman?”
“I should be the one to ask you what’s wrong, I see you are dazed and pale, did I just”
“No no.” Secretary Tong hurriedly waved her hands, “Chairman, it’s not you, it’s because I thought of something on my own mind, so my mood is a bit heavy, that Chairman, can I take a few days off from you?”
Rong Shu looked at her, “Take a leave of absence?”
“Mm.” Secretary Tong lowered her eyes, “There’s a very important matter, I want to take a good rest and calm down a bit before deciding how to deal with it.”
“May I know what it is?” Rongshu inquired.
Secretary Tong pursed her lips and did not answer.
Seeing this, Rong Shu sighed helplessly, “Alright, since you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t force you, fine, I’ll give you a few days off, take a good rest, and it’s okay to come back to work when you’re done with it.”
“Thank you Chairman.” Secretary Tong breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed towards her before offering her farewell.
Rongshu looked at her figure, “Secretary Tong, what just happened”
Secretary Tong paused in her steps, then turned her head and smiled at Rong Shu, “Chairman, I didn’t take what just happened to heart, so you shouldn’t care about it either, I’m really fine.”
“Anyway, I still have to say sorry to you.” Rongshu squeezed the corners of her mouth.
Although it was with good intentions, the good intentions had still done a bad thing and made Secretary Tong break her heart.
This was something that she was responsible for and deserved to apologise for her actions.
Otherwise, it would be hard to rest in her heart.
Secretary Tong also knew the guilt in Rong Shu’s heart and nodded with a smile, “Alright, I accept your apology, Chairman, so don’t blame yourself, Chairman.”
“Mm.” Rong Shu answered.
Secretary Tong waved her hand and continued to lift her feet towards the door, quickly walking out of the office without a trace.
Rong Shu leaned back in her chair and gently rubbed her temples, sighing inwardly.
It seemed that in the future, one could not just set up someone else casually.
It would be a sin for her if she didn’t succeed in setting up someone like this time, and instead embarra*sed the other party.
Without giving it much thought, Rongshu put her hand down, sat up straight and continued to immerse herself in her work.
In the afternoon, before she left work, she received a message from Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Lu had asked her and Fu Jingting to go to dinner at the Lu family’s house in three days’ time, and she had also highlighted that she must bring Fu Jingting.
It seemed that Ah Qi had really been right, Auntie wanted to have a talk with Fu Jingting.
“Chairman.” Suddenly, a knock sounded at the door.
Rongshu looked up towards the door and saw that it was Secretary Tong’s a*sistant.
Secretary Tong had already taken leave to go home, so naturally her work was taken over by her a*sistant for the time being.
Rongshu snapped her phone and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Chairman, the police department just called Secretary Tong’s landline, saying that tomorrow is Vice President Rong’s court hearing, so don’t forget to go there.” The a*sistant let her hand down from the door.
Rong Shu was stunned for a moment, then it occurred to her that Rong Yuan had been locked up in the police station for so many days, so it was indeed time for the court hearing.
And as the plaintiff, she naturally had to attend.
Nodding, Rong Shu smiled at her a*sistant, “Got it.”
“Then, Chairman, I’ll go down first.” The a*sistant gave her a slight nod.
Rong Shu gave a hint, “Go on.”
The a*sistant closed the door behind her and turned to go out.
For this little episode, Rong Shu did not take it to heart.
Rong Yuan’s court hearing was predestined, not tomorrow, it would be the day after, and she would have to attend it.
There was no need to worry about it, as Rong Yuan would be sitting in jail for sure anyway.
In his life, apart from the stain he has left on the Gu family, it is Rong Yuan and Li Xiuzhi, his mother and daughter, who have brought a lot of stain on him.
Thinking of Li Xiuzhi
Rong Shu’s eyes narrowed, and the finger on the desk also lightly clicked twice, making a clattering sound that was unusually crisp in the large, quiet office.
This woman, Li Xiuzhi, was now serving her sentence abroad and could not return to China, so there was nothing she could do to clean up after this woman.
She could only wait for this woman to finish serving her sentence and let Fu Jingting help with the extradition back to China.
Rubbing her temples, Rong Shu collected the hatred in her heart and got up to go to the bathroom.
After she washed her face with cold water, the anger that had arisen because of Li Xiuzhi and Rong Yuan, her mother and daughter, was completely suppressed.
Afterwards, she returned to her desk, picked up her mobile phone and looked at it, seeing that it was almost time, she packed up her things and prepared to leave work.
However, after leaving Tiansheng, Rong Shu did not drive straight back to Repulse Bay, but drove her car and lost in the opposite direction of Repulse Bay.
She wanted to go to the mausoleum to see her dad and talk to him about the matter of Rong Yuan’s court hearing tomorrow.
No matter what, Rong Yuan is Daddy’s biological daughter by blood, a fact that no one can deny, yet break off.
So Daddy, who had the right to know about it, should also know.
Besides, she wanted to say sorry to her dad too.
While it was true that Yung Yuan had taken the initiative to mess things up and P*ssed her off, it was also true that she had sent Yung Yuan to jail.
Yung Yuan was her father’s real daughter and she was an adopted daughter. Even though her father loved her as his adopted daughter, he had always loved Yung Yuan as his real daughter in his heart all the same.
It was only natural that she should say sorry to her dad for sending him in with his own daughter.
Rongshu drove all the way to the mausoleum before it got dark, and bought a bouquet of flowers before going in.
When she went in, it was two hours before she came out.
When she came out, it was almost nine o’clock.
Rongshu’s eyes were a little red.
She came to the car, tilted her head slightly and looked at the sky, then raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, before pulling open the car door and getting in, ready to drive back.
By the time she got back to the city centre, it was already ten o’clock.
The worst part was that she was stuck in a traffic jam, so she didn’t know when she would be able to get back to Repulse Bay.
Maybe by the time she got back, Fu Jingting would have already gone back.
The first thing she did was to let go of the steering wheel and take her phone from the pa*senger side to check it.
The phone was clean, with no caller ID or unread messages.
This showed that Fu Jingting hadn’t finished working at this moment.
The fact that he hadn’t finished at this time made the worry in Rongshu’s heart rise to a higher level.
