Chapter 493
After Lu Qi saw it, the corners of his mouth curved up in a playful arc, and then flirted in a high voice, “Yo Mr. Fu, have you changed your taste? The first time, you still like Gu Manyin’s kind of pure and innocent, soft and weak little white flower, how come now you like the hot loli one? Not only that, you also like to perform flirting in public.”
Hearing Lu Qi’s words, Fu Jingting’s face suddenly sank and he gave Zhang Lili by his side a slight sideways glance, “Let go.”
If it wasn’t for the fact that she was wearing a bustier dress, his forceful withdrawal of his arm might have caused her dress to slip.
Otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t have opened his mouth to remind her to let go, instead, he would have just shrugged her off.
Zhang Lili didn’t notice Fu Jingting’s displeasure, and when she heard him tell her to let go, she was obviously a bit reluctant and beamed “Mr. Fu, I’m your date, hold on to ……”
“I said, let go!” Fu Jingting interrupted her without mercy, repeating once again.
The cold air around his body overflowed, his face darkened even more ugly, and his voice grew colder and more pronounced.
Zhang Lili was nearly shivering from his cold air, her face turned white and she subconsciously let go of the hand holding her arm.
I told you before you came here to be a non-speaking vase, don’t give me anything to do, or the Zhang family’s cooperation will be cancelled immediately, but you turned your head and took my words for a deaf ear.”
“I’m sorry Mr. Fu, I …… know I’m wrong.” When Zhang Lili heard that the cooperation was cancelled, her expression panicked and she quickly begged for forgiveness, “Mr. Fu, I really know I’m wrong, I won’t after that, can you not cancel the cooperation, otherwise, my father will kill me.”
She was so anxious that she was about to cry, and in her heart she regretted her action just now.
This man was an existence that she could only look up to before, completely out of reach.
Now the man she looked up to had chosen her as his female companion, and might even join her in marriage, so for a moment, she was overwhelmed by excitement and did what she had just done.
She originally thought that even if he noticed her actions, he would not break her down in public, after all, there were so many people here, he would give her some face.
It turned out that she was wrong, he didn’t care about her face at all, instead he just let her off the hook.
She had really never felt that she had ever been so humiliated in these twenty years as she was at this moment now.
Zhang Lili couldn’t help but cover her face, revealing her ears and neck, which were so red that they were dripping blood.
Lu Qi, who had been watching the drama in silence, looked at such a Zhang Lili and felt a little weak and defensive.
After all, it was he who had opened his mouth to provoke Fu Jingting, which had caused Fu Jingting to turn the tables on this woman and put her in an embarra*sing position.
So in the end, it was also his fault, he no longer propped his head up, watching the show, sat up straight and coughed, “So what, Fu Jingting, although she did do something wrong just now, but you just want to cancel the cooperation, it is too heartless, right?”
Fu Jingting glanced at him coolly, “Mind your own business, it’s not your turn to interfere in my affairs.”
With those words, Fu Jingting pulled out his chair and sat down.
With her head bowed, Zhang Lili also quickly walked over and pulled out the chair next to him and sat down.
This man still did not relent in not cancelling the cooperation.
It seemed that I could only beg him after the dinner party was over.
The party officially began.
The bigwigs at the party were all here for Fu Jingting, wanting to invest in a new project with Fu Jingting.
Lu Qi, on the other hand, was only able to come here to see the world because his own father had connections.
But he found that all that they said about the new project was completely incomprehensible to him because the Lu family was not involved in this aspect of the business at all, and he had never understood it before.
At the same time, he also knew that this social gathering had nothing to do with him in the first place, and even if he could understand it, he would have no part in it.
Because of the Lu family’s current wealth, they simply could not take out so much money to invest in this project, or they would have to go bankrupt.
So in the end, as he listened, Lu Qi was so close to falling asleep, but in order to avoid falling asleep, he simply took out his mobile phone, put it under his desk and sent a message to Rong Shu, telling a joke about what had just happened between Fu Jingting and Zhang Lili.
When she saw the content sent by Lu Qi, her back straightened slightly.
Zhang Lili had seduced Fu Jingting and was publicly disgraced by Fu Jingting?
Rongshu’s eyes widened, and her expression also became serious.
It seemed that Fu Jingting and Zhang Lili would not be joined in marriage.
If these two people were to join in marriage, Fu Jingting would not let his fiancee to be lose face in public.
So a marriage would not be possible.
As she thought about it, Rong Shu felt herself suddenly become lighter inside and the corners of her mouth curved up in a way she hadn’t even noticed herself.
When Secretary Tong’s a*sistant came in, she all clearly felt her good mood and couldn’t help but boldly speak up, “General Manager Rong is finally in a better mood.”
“Finally?” Rong Shu froze for a moment, then touched her face, “Was I in a bad mood before?”
“Yes.” The a*sistant nodded, “When you came today, Mr. Rong, you were not in a good mood, your brow was furrowed as if you were worried and nervous about something, until this moment, those emotions of yours were gone and your whole body relaxed.”
She was Secretary Tong’s a*sistant, and since Secretary Tong was out of town today, she took Tong’s place and came to do things for Rong.
Therefore, she, the person who had the most frequent contact with Mr. Rong, could not be more clear about how Mr. Rong was actually in a good mood today.
When Rong Shu heard that she was actually in such a mood before, her expression was stunned.
According to this little a*sistant’s words, she had been in a bad mood all day today, and it was only now that she was well and her whole body was relaxed.
And she felt relaxed only after seeing these messages sent by Ah Qi and reading that Fu Jingting and Zhang Lili would not be joined in marriage.
That meant that she was happy that Fu Jingting and Zhang Lili would not be joining forces!
Realising this, Rong Shu’s face changed and became very complicated.
Why should she be happy that these two people would not marry?
And what was she so happy about?
The more she thought about it, the more confused and irritated she became.
Rongshu put down the pen in her hand and rubbed her cheeks, forcing herself to calm down before speaking again, “Are you here to get these materials?”
“Yes Mr. Rong.” The a*sistant nodded her head.
Rong Shu closed her eyes, “Then you can take it away, I want to be quiet for a while.”
“Okay.” The a*sistant didn’t know what was wrong with her, why she had suddenly become so strange, after giving her a puzzled look, she picked up the information on her desk and went out.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Rong Shu then opened her eyes and scratched her hair, “Rong Shu ah Rong Shu, what the hell are you doing!”
She always felt that something was wrong with her lately, some unexplainable emotions were always popping up in her mind and heart.
And she couldn’t control them.
She didn’t know what would become of her if she continued like this!
At this moment, the sudden ringing of her mobile phone temporarily interrupted the unrest in Rongshu’s heart.
She took a breath, put her hand down, grabbed the phone and looked at it, and after seeing that it was the number of the detective that Lu Qi had sent her shortly after he left yesterday and asked her to save, her expression froze and she immediately answered it.
“Hello, is this Miss Rong?” A middle-aged man’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
Rong Shu’s red lips twitched slightly as she opened her mouth and spoke back, “It’s me.”
“Hello Miss Rong, it’s like this, yesterday a gentleman asked me to investigate a person and said to tell you when I have the results.”
“Yes, so what was the result?” Rong Shu narrowed her eyes and asked in a serious voice.
Chapter 494
“It’s been checked out, that Ms. Rong Yuan arrived in Hai City the day before yesterday, and has been staying at the Binhai Hotel since then, staying in the hotel for a day, only leaving the hotel yesterday morning, going to the Tian Sheng Group, as well as the Two Rivers New District side for a look around, after which she went back to the hotel, and hasn’t come out until now.” The detective reported his findings one by one.
After listening, Rong Shu’s eyebrows knitted together, “Stayed at the hotel the whole time and didn’t come out?”
“Yes.” The detective nodded his head.
Rong Shu lowered her eyelids, her expression becoming a few shades deeper.
This wasn’t right, this was so out of character for Rong Yuan.
That person, Rong Yuan, was, to put it nicely, lively and active, but to put it harshly, she was a troublemaker who couldn’t stay at home.
So from what she knew about Rong Yuan, there was no way she would stay at the hotel and not come out for so long.
On top of that, the places that Rong Yuan went to yesterday were the Tian Sheng Group and the former Rong family villa.
It was obvious that these were the only two places that Rong Yuan would go to when she returned to Hai City.
The first time I saw her, I asked, “Can you find out what she was doing in the hotel?”
“I’m afraid I can’t. The Marina Hotel does a pretty good job of managing privacy, so if she doesn’t leave her room, there’s no way I can figure out what she’s doing.” The detective shook his head back.
Rongshu wasn’t lost at the result either, as she had already guessed.
It was just a matter of taking a chance by asking, in case she could find out.
So even if she couldn’t know, she had nothing to lose.
“Can’t find out what she’s doing, but her check-in information, you should be able to find out?” Rongshu said.
The detective responded, “That’s naturally possible.”
“Okay then, I want to know, did she check in alone, or was there two of them?”
“It’s one, I checked her check-in record, she checked in alone and there was no one in or out of her room in the past few days, apart from the hotel staff.” The detective said back.
A trace of surprise flashed in Rongshu’s eyes.
What was going on?
Did Li Xiuzhi not come back with her?
Just as Rongshu was feeling puzzled, the detective spoke again, “In addition, Miss Rongshu, I also found out that this morning, Rong Yuan asked the hotel staff to buy a ticket for her at the airport.”
“Buy a ticket?” Rong Shu’s body leaned forward for a moment, “She’s leaving Hai City?”
“Yes.” The detective responded, “When that staff member came back, I specifically inquired, Rong Yuan asked him to buy a ticket for a flight to Beautiful Over at four o’clock this afternoon.”
“Beautiful country ……” Rong Shu lightly opened her red lips and whispered those three words once, then raised her chin, “I know, please, I’ll call you the final payment later.”
“Okay Miss Rong.”
The call ended, Rong Shu put her phone down and dropped it on her desk, then leaned back behind her and rested against the back of her chair, her eyelids slightly drooping as she was pondering something.
She was thinking, what exactly did Rong Yuan mean when she pulled this stunt?
She suddenly came back and stayed at the hotel for three days, leaving the house once in the middle, but only for a short walk around Tian Sheng, before running back to the Rong family villa.
Rong Yuan did not have the villa key and should not have been able to go in, so at most she just turned around outside the villa, and after that, she went back to the hotel, and today she is ready to leave Hai City and go abroad again.
It sounded like Rong Yuan was homesick for her hometown, so she came back for a visit, but she knew that Rong Yuan was definitely not that kind of person.
So there must be some purpose for Rong Yuan to come back.
It was just that this purpose, which Rong Yuan did not show, made her unable to figure it out.
But no matter what the purpose was, it was true that she could not let her guard down.
The first thing you need to do is to get a message from the company, and then you can send it back to Lu Qi.
In the box, Lu Qi looked at Rong Shu’s reply, hooked his lips and smiled, and began to type good good, I won’t send it, you are busy.
After typing, he clicked send.
When it was sent, he put his phone away and raised his head to survey everyone in the compartment.
Looking at the way Fu Jingting was talking to those big shots, he skimmed his lips.
Although he hated this man, he had to admit that Fu Jingting was an extremely outstanding person, one that they could not hope to match.
They were all of the same generation in their circle, and regardless of their family backgrounds, Fu Jingting was definitely the one at the top of the pyramid based on their abilities alone.
It can be said that all of them, from childhood to adulthood, grew up with Fu Jingting beating them.
Because Fu Jingting was too good, they were often compared to him by the elders of their family, but they were always beaten by Fu Jingting, without any glory.
As a result, none of them, with the exception of Cheng Huai and Lin Tianchen, had much respect for Fu Jingting.
But while they did not, they also recognised Fu Jingting’s excellence, and so did he.
So six years ago, when he found out that Rong Shu was going to marry Fu Jingting, although he was uncomfortable, he did not find it unacceptable, he loved her but wanted her to be happy.
He felt that Fu Jingting, who was better than him, was more suitable for her and more worthy of her.
But as it turned out, Fu Jingting was a b*****d who failed his expectations, and in terms of relationships, he was even a blind man who couldn’t tell good from bad, and had bullied his baby for six years.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and Lu Qi couldn’t help but glare at Fu Jingting.
Fu Jingting noticed, and after a slight frown, he turned his head towards Lu Qi and looked over.
Lu Qi rolled his eyes at him, “What are you looking at?”
Fu Jingting’s frown deepened, then he indifferently withdrew his gaze and looked at the foreigner opposite, “Please continue.”
The person opposite received his gesture and naturally continued with the conversation he had just had.
About an hour later, the entertainment finally ended.
Fu Jingting and these few bigwigs from abroad had negotiated a cooperation on an investment project, and both sides were satisfied, so they opened wine to celebrate.
It was already evening when the wine and food were full.
The foreign dignitaries were all staying at the hotel, so it was Fu Jingting and Lu Qi who had to leave.
Fu Jingting ignored Zhang Lili and lifted his feet and walked straight towards the hotel entrance.
Lu Qi walked behind with Secretary Tong and saw this scene and tsked twice, “Fu Jingting is really indifferent to his female companions, if he doesn’t want Zhang Lili to be his female companion, why did he invite her?”
“I don’t know.” Secretary Tong shook his head back.
Zhang Lili bit her lower lip in shame as she listened to the two, then carrying her delicate clutch bag and stepping on her high heels, she quickly stepped towards Fu Jingting to catch up, “Mr. Fu, you wait for me!”
As if he had not heard, Fu Jingting’s pace did not stop.
Only when he had left the revolving door of the hotel did he stop, then took out his mobile phone and prepared to ask a*sistant Zhang to drive over.
After Zhang Lili came after him, she saw that he had stopped and didn’t go, so she breathed a huge sigh of relief, and then stood beside him about two metres away, and started to tidy up her hair, intending to tidy up and go over there in her best image, to talk to him, so that he would change his mind and not cancel the cooperation.
But at that moment, a revolving door suddenly swung around, and as Lily Zhang was standing too close, the door hit her directly in the back.
Zhang Lili was instantly knocked forward, her face filled with panic.
But when she saw that she was in front of Fu Jingting, the panic suddenly dissipated and was replaced by excitement and anticipation.
