Chapter 83
“I don’t know.” The receptionist shook her head.
Rong Shu pondered for a couple of seconds, “Okay, I’ll be right down.”
The call ended, and Rong Shu put down her phone and walked towards the lift with her cane, Tong Xi following behind her.
Arriving at the front desk on the ground floor of the building, Rongshu asked, “Where are the things?”
The receptionist carried out a large cardboard box, “It’s all here.”
Rongshu looked at the box on the table, it was sealed, so she couldn’t see what was inside, and there was no information about the person who had sent the stuff outside.
Secretary Tong reached out and turned the box upside down, “Mr. Rong, it’s quite heavy.”
“Open it and take a look.” Rong Shu instructed the receptionist.
The receptionist took out a knife and unpacked the box, immediately it was a variety of exquisitely packaged bottles and jars.
Secretary Tong took out a jar and looked at it, surprised, “Mr. Rong, this is the most famous health product abroad, it has a remarkable effect on bone healing, one jar is tens of thousands of dollars, there are so many jars here, the person who sent it is so generous.”
The person who could spend so much money to buy so many supplements for Mr. Yung.
The person who gave the stuff away must be a loyal suitor of Mr. Rong.
When Rongshu heard this, her beautiful brows knitted up, “Put the stuff in and reseal it.”
“Hey?” Tong Xi froze for a moment, “General Manager Rong, aren’t you going to accept it?”
“No.” Rong Shu returned and turned to leave, “Have someone send these things back to Fu’s Group.”
“Fu’s Group?” Tong Xi’s mouth opened in surprise.
So these things were from Mr. Fu, no wonder Mr. Rong didn’t accept them.
“Secretary Tong, why do you think Mr. Fu sent these supplements to Mr. Rong, this is not the first time he sent something, right?” The receptionist had a gossipy face, “Could it be that there are still feelings between Mr. Fu and Mr. Rong?”
“How should I know!” Tong Xi put the tonic back, “Alright, don’t talk nonsense about your boss, you have someone send these over.”
“Yes.” The receptionist nodded her head.
Tong Xi went after them towards Rong Shu.
Rong Shu had already returned to her office and was calling Fu Jingting, “What the hell do you mean?”
“What does what mean?” Fu Jingting had finished his meeting and was also on his way back to his office.
Rongshu sucked in a breath and blushed a little, “Those health products are your handiwork, right?”
He had said last night that he would have some supplements sent to her.
She had already refused, but she didn’t expect him to send them over anyway.
“It’s from me.” Fu Jingting nodded his head and admitted.
Rongshu smiled coldly, “Mr. Fu, I already said I didn’t want it, right, so why did you still send it?”
Was she questioning him?
Fu Jingting’s face sank, “I also said that you had an accident at my place, I am responsible.”
“Responsibility?” As if she had heard a big joke, Rong Shu sneered twice, “Mr. Fu, when I was your wife, you didn’t fulfill any responsibility to me either, now that you are divorced, you like to be responsible for me, don’t you think it’s ridiculous.”
Hearing the mockery in her tone, Fu Jingting’s eyelids narrowed and he did not speak.
Because he could not refute her words.
Even he himself didn’t know why he must be responsible for her.
“I’ve already asked someone to send those health products to you, don’t send them again in the future, I don’t need them!” Rongshu finished speaking and cut the phone off.
Fu Jingting stopped in his tracks and looked at the phone screen, his eyes complicated and inexplicable.
When a*sistant Zhang saw that he suddenly stopped walking, he also stopped, “Mr. Fu?”
“You said …… what’s wrong with me?” Fu Jingting put down his phone and suddenly asked.
Why do you care so much about Rong Shu?
a*sistant Zhang was full of confusion, “What’s wrong, Mr. Fu?”
Fu Jingting’s thin lips moved and was just about to speak when a delicate figure came out of his office and hugged his arm intimately, “Jingting, finished the meeting?”
A flash of surprise flashed through Fu Jingting’s eyes, “Mangyin, why are you still here?”
Gu Manyin pouted, a little unhappy, “I haven’t left, I’m waiting for you, and you’re still asking me why I’m here.”
“I’m sorry, I thought you had already left.” Fu Jingting rubbed her hair apologetically.
Gu Manyin looked at the time on her phone, “Jingting, how about I come over to your place tonight? Auntie sent me a message just now, saying that she’s bought the dishes I like to eat.”
“Good.” Fu Jingting nodded his head and agreed.
Gu Manyin had a big smile on her face.
At this time, a security guard came out of the lift holding a box, “Mr. Fu, this is Tian ……”
Before the guard could finish his words, Fu Jingting immediately interrupted him, “Since the stuff has been delivered, you can put it down.”
This is the health care products returned by Rong Shu, if Mangyin knew, I’m afraid she would think more about it again.
The security guard left the carton and went away.
Gu Manyin looked at the box on the ground curiously, “Jingting, what is that box of ah?”
“Health products.” Fu Jingting’s thin lips slightly opened and faintly returned three words.
a*sistant Zhang suddenly understood why he had just interrupted the security guard.
“What health care products?” Gu Manyin walked over and opened the box, seeing what was inside, her eyes lit up, “It’s this, this is hard to get, my father didn’t even have the goods last time he made an appointment, Jingting, you actually bought so many at once.”
“Then I’ll have someone, later, send these over to uncle.” Fu Jingting said.
Gu Manyin returned to his side, “Thank you Jingting.”
“No need.” The corners of Fu Jingting’s lips tugged.
So be it, Rongshu was right, divorce is over, so don’t have any more contact.
And intuition told him that without constant contact, it might turn into an uncontrollable situation in the future. e
Forcing down his inner emotions, Fu Jingting took Gu Mangyin’s hand, “Let’s go, go to my house.”
“Mm.” Gu Manyin nodded heavily with a smile on her face.
After instructing a*sistant Zhang to send the health care products to Gu’s home, Fu Jingting took Gu Manyin with him and left.
It was already an hour later when they returned to Fu Gongguan.
Wang Shuqin had heard the sound of the car early and came out of the house to greet it, clutching a handful of melon seeds.
Seeing Gu Manyin get out of the car, she happily walked over and took her hand, “Mangyin, you’re finally here.”
“Auntie.” Gu Manyin shouted in a soft voice, then lowered her head and looked at Wang Shuqin’s hand, which was holding her own.
The hand was still covered with a piece of melon seed skin with saliva on it, which made people feel sick to their stomachs.
The smile on Gu Manyin’s face froze, and a flash of disgust flashed under her eyes as she pulled her hand back without a trace.
The two women were standing there, “Why don’t you go in.”
“I’m waiting for you.” Gu Manyin took a step towards him, pulling away from Wang Shuqin and taking his arm.
Wang Shuqin laughed and said, “Jingting, Mangyin is really clinging to you, you must treat her well.”
“I know mum, go in.” Fu Jingting said and led Gu Manyin inside.
When the three of them entered the house, the large living room suddenly became lively.
Gu Manyin let go of Fu Jingting’s arm, “Jingting, I’ll go to the bathroom first.”
She had to hurry and wash the disgusting germs off her hands.
She couldn’t stand it for a moment.
“Go on.” Fu Jingting thought she was really going to the toilet and slightly lifted his chin.
Gu Manyin immediately quickened her pace and headed towards the bathroom.
Fu Jingting took off the jacket he was wearing, “Mom, where’s Jing Lin?”
“Upstairs.” Wang Shuqin returned with a furious expression.
Fu Jingting looked at her, “What’s wrong?”
“I told him to quit the basketball team and do well in university, but he refused to listen, and now he’s angry with me and locked himself in his room.” Wang Shuqin said, knocking on her melon seeds.
Fu Jingting rubbed his brow, “I’ll go and see him.”
Chapter 84
“What are you looking at, doesn’t he like to be alone, just let him be alone.” Although Wang Shuqin said with anger and dissatisfaction on her lips, she did not stop Fu Jingting from going upstairs.
After all, Fu Jinglin was her own son.
As a mother, how could she really be cruel!
Fu Jingting also knew this, so he went straight upstairs when he finished speaking.
“Jing Lin, open the door.” Fu Jingting stood outside the door of Fu Jinglin’s room and knocked on the door.
The door opened.
Fu Jinglin’s eyes were a little red as he looked at him, “Brother.”
“Been crying?” Fu Jingting raised his eyebrows.
Fu Jinglin lifted his arm and wiped his eyes roughly, saying in a twisted voice, “No, I haven’t.”
Fu Jingting hooked his lips and didn’t tear him apart, “Come in and talk?”
“Come in.” Fu Jinglin agreed and let the door out.
Fu Jingting walked in.
Fu Jinglin closed the door to the room and followed him, “Brother, didn’t you say last time that you would help me convince mum to let me play basketball properly, but now mum keeps telling me to quit the basketball team every day and won’t let me go to practice, the day after tomorrow is the u17 expedition tournament, I haven’t been to practice and the coach is getting mad.”
The coach even called just now and said that if he didn’t go to practice again, he would take out his spot.
It was so hard for him to get into the basketball team, how could he be kicked out so quickly.
Fu Jingting was also a bit helpless, “Mom did promise me before to let you play basketball properly, I don’t know why she changed her mind so quickly, it’s okay, I’ll talk to her about it later.”
“What’s the use of talking about it, what if she agrees now and then changes her mind later?” Fu Jinglin huffed and sat on the edge of the bed.
Fu Jingting walked over to his desk and leaned against it, “It’s fine, I’ll ask my grandmother to come over when the time comes.”
Fu Jinglin’s eyes immediately lit up, “Yes, ask Grandma to come over, Ma is most afraid of her.”
Fu Jingting gave a hint and was just about to say something when he suddenly glanced at a letter on the desk out of the corner of his eye.
The envelope was a little yellowish, and it was a bit old at first glance.
But that was not important, what was important was that the envelope felt very familiar to him.
Once, when he and Mangyin were pen pals, this was the kind of envelope he used to use.
“You have a letter from me to Mangyin here?” Fu Jingting picked up the letter and asked as he looked at Fu Jinglin with an unpleasant expression on his face.
Fu Jinglin bounced up and snatched the letter over, “This is not what you wrote to Sister Mangyin.”
This was the one he had taken from Rong Shu’s place.
How could it be Mangyin’s sister’s.
“It’s not what I wrote to Mangyin?” Fu Jingting frowned, some disbelief evident in his eyes.
Fu Jinglin put the letter away, “Right.”
“Then you tell me, whose letter is this?” Fu Jingting narrowed his eyes at him.
Fu Jinglin looked away sheepishly, “Anyway, it’s not yours, as for whose it really is, I won’t say, it’s a secret.”
He had originally taken this letter with the intention of telling his elder brother that Rongshu had fallen in love early with someone in the form of a letter when he was in high school.
But after Rongshu helped him get the contract for the basketball team, he changed his mind and decided not to say anything and help her hide it, so he said nothing would tell big brother that this was Rongshu’s letter.
Fu Jingting looked at Fu Jinglin’s hush-hush look and wanted to say something else.
As soon as Fu Jinglin stuffed the letter into his trouser pocket, he stepped forward and pushed Fu Jingting towards the door, “Alright brother, go out and help me talk to mother.”
Fu Jingting pursed his thin lips and went downstairs.
“Hoo ……” Fu Jing Lin closed the door and took the letter out, “That was close, almost exposed, better return the letter to her.”
With that, he took out his phone and dialed Rong Shu’s number.
Rong Shu had just finished grading a pile of documents and was now lying on her desk in exhaustion.
Lu Qi stood at the side and laughed at her, “You can’t take it anymore, if Tiansheng develops in the future and resumes its former glory, will you have to lie down on your bed?”
“It’s possible.” Rongshu laughed and returned somewhat listlessly.
Suddenly, the mobile phone next to her head rang.
Before Rongshu could look at it, Lu Qi stretched his neck to look at it, “It’s your ex-husband’s brother.”
“Fu Jinglin?” Rongshu immediately lifted her head.
Lu Qi hummed, “Why would he call you?”
“How should I know.” Rongshu picked up her phone and hung up the phone.
Lu Qi looked at her, “Not answering?”
“There’s nothing to pick up.” Rongshu returned indifferently and was about to put the phone down.
At that moment, a message suddenly popped up on the screen I have a letter for you here.
A letter?
Rongshu frowned and called the phone back, “What letter?”
Fu Jinglin had a triumphant expression on his face, “Aren’t you not answering my calls?”
Hearing the smugness in his tone, Rong Shu sneered, “If you don’t say anything, I’ll hang up again.”
“Wait, wait.” Fu Jinglin hurriedly called out to her, “I’m telling you, I’m telling you, it’s just that last time I was at your house, I saw a lot of letters written by Xiao Zhong to you from your room, and I took one of them.”
“You went through my room?” Rong Shu’s face sank and she became somewhat angry, “Fu Jinglin, is this the tutelage of your Fu family, going through other people’s rooms at random?”
Fu Jinglin also knew that his actions were wrong, and lowered his head and said weakly, “I know I was wrong, so I’m just calling here to admit my mistake to you.”
“Heh.” Rongshu let out another cold laugh.
Fu Jinglin touched the tip of his nose, “I’ll return that letter to you next time.”
“No need, throw it away, I don’t need it anyway.” Rongshu finished and hung up the phone.
Lu Qi watched her put the phone down and asked with a gossipy face, “What is he looking for you for?”
“That kid stole a letter from me that Xiao Zhong used to write to me.” Rongshu said as she pinched the bridge of her nose.
Lu became interested, “I remember you and that Xiao Zhong, you haven’t been in touch for a long time, right?”
Rong Shu nodded, her eyes carrying a hint of reminiscence, “It’s been six or seven years.”
If not for Fu Jinglin suddenly mentioning it just now, she would have almost forgotten about this former pen pal.
“Why don’t you keep in touch? You and that Xiao Zhong used to be quite close, writing letters two or three times a week.” Lu Qi said in a somewhat sour tone.
He and she had grown up as childhood friends and had the best relationship.
But ever since she became pen pals with that Xiao Zhong, he was often left out by her.
“Who knows.” Rongshu shrugged her shoulders.
She herself didn’t know why Xiao Zhong had cut off her correspondence.
Six years ago, the last letter Xiao Zhong had sent said that there was no need to write anymore, and she had never heard from him again, and she had even wondered for a moment if she had written something to upset him and that was why he had ignored her.
Lu Qi thought it was because Rong Shu didn’t want to talk about it and limped off and didn’t ask.
Afterwards, he looked at the time, “It’s after work, I’ll take you back.”
“Mm.” Rong Shu nodded her head.
Lu Qi sent Rong Shu back to Repulse Bay and drove off.
Rongshu walked into her bedroom with her cane and found the letters that Xiao Zhong had written to her before.
She brushed her fingers over the letters with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.
But soon, she put the nostalgia to rest and picked up the letters and threw them in the trash.
She had kept these letters for so many years, and it was time to throw them away. r
However, for some reason, Rongshu’s hand was clearly placed over the bin, but a touch of reluctance rose up in her heart, making it impossible for her to let go of her hand.
After a while, Rong Shu sighed and finally put the letters back to their original position.
Since she couldn’t let go of them, she could just put them away.
It was better not to read them again.
Rubbing her brow, Rongshu turned around and left the bedroom, heading for the bathroom.
