Chapter 246: Chapter 240: Mr. Rong Was Also Ill Once
"Boss Rong knew you were worried about Ms. Fang going to the hospital again to disturb your grandfather, so he specifically asked Lei the Second to send two subordinates to protect your grandfather at the hospital, but..."
Gu Yan said this, glancing at Lei Yicheng.
Lei Yicheng furrowed his brows, his stern face looking solemnly at Jin Jumo, saying in a steady voice, "I’m very sorry about this matter. But those two people have already been dealt with by me."
Dealt with?
Jin Jumo’s brow twitched lightly, the confusion in the peach blossom eyes deepened even further. "At that time, Fu Mulan told me it was Tang Ruan who bribed people to kill my grandfather."
"Tang Ruan might have had the intention, but the one who actually caused your grandfather’s unjust death wasn’t her," Xiao Nanqing said.
Not her?
Jin Jumo stood up from the bed, looking at Xiao Nanqing and the others in shock, "What do you mean? If it wasn’t her, who was it?"
Xiao Nanqing’s lips curved into a cold smile, "Fu Mulan."
"..." Jin Jumo’s eyes widened, mind in turmoil, but the heart couldn’t stop feeling cold, "But Fu Mulan told me..."
"Initially, it was indeed Tang Ruan who first sought Fu Mulan for cooperation. Tang Ruan knew Fu Mulan always had ulterior motives towards Boss Rong..."
Gu Yan looked at Jin Jumo thoughtfully, licked his lips before speaking, "So she knew, Fu Mulan was the person who least wanted to see you marry Boss Rong at the moment. So she looked for Fu Mulan to cooperate. Fu Mulan pretended to hesitate, and finally acted as if she was persuaded by Tang Ruan and cooperated with her. If it was said that Tang Ruan used Fu Mulan, it would be more accurate to say Fu Mulan used Tang Ruan."
"Fu Mulan always thought Tang Ruan was the one Boss Rong loved. Getting rid of one of you wasn’t enough, she wanted to use your grandfather’s death to get rid of both you and Tang Ruan. Without you and Tang Ruan, she would then be the woman closest to Boss Rong. Daydreaming that without you and Tang Ruan, wouldn’t she be the most likely person to marry Boss Rong?"
Gu Yan let out a light scoff, but his face was filled with cruelty.
Jin Jumo’s face was as white as snow, fingers dug deeply into the palms, voice trembling uncontrollably, "So, it was Fu Mulan who bribed Brother Lei’s people to kill my grandfather?"
Gu Yan saw Jin Jumo’s frail figure swaying as if about to collapse, feeling a bit of pity, but still affirmed, "Yes."
"Just to marry Rong Mochen?" Jin Jumo’s eyes turned blood red.
Gu Yan pursed his lips, "Fu Mulan always had illusions about Boss Rong, but who would’ve thought she would do something so insane just to marry him!"
Jin Jumo’s eyelashes quivered lightly, slowly closing his eyes, pale lips went dry and white in an instant, "Where is Fu Mulan now?"
"..." That question from Jin Jumo left Gu Yan at a loss.
Gu Yan’s face flashed with embarrassment, lips taut for a long while, not uttering a single word.
Xiao Nanqing raised an eyebrow and had to answer on his behalf, "Fu Mulan has disappeared. Gu Yan has been searching for her all these years, but his abilities are limited and he hasn’t found her."
Gu Yan gritted his teeth, glaring fiercely at Xiao Nanqing: "Were you going to go mute or die if you don’t say that last part?"
Xiao Nanqing pretended not to see.
Jin Jumo opened her eyes, the blood-red nearly spilling out of her gaze as she looked at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan, feeling ashamed, didn’t dare meet Jin Jumo’s eyes, lowered his head, swearing, "Little Momo, don’t worry, I promise you, even if Fu Mulan hides to the ends of the earth, I’ll still bring her back for you, to get justice for you."
Jin Jumo’s chin trembled slightly, the voice that came out was hoarse almost to the point of being unrecognizable, "Thank you, Gu Yan."
Gu Yan’s eyebrows twitched, raising his head to look at Jin Jumo.
Jin Jumo lifted her hand, wiping the corners of her eyes, smiling at him, "Thank you, these years, for always helping me find her. It’s my stupidity that I actually..."
Gu Yan looked at Jin Jumo’s pale face, suddenly feeling uncomfortable inside, "Little Momo, I promise you, from today on, I won’t do anything else, just focus on catching that vicious woman Fu Mulan for you, and when the time comes, if you want to peel her skin, I’ll help you find the sharpest knife. If you want to crush her bones, I’ll find you a handy sledgehammer. You, you take care of yourself."
Jin Jumo nodded.
"New锐 Film and Television being implicated in bankruptcy and acquired by the Rong Family because of Fu Mulan isn’t unwarranted," Xiao Nanqing scoffed lightly.
Originally, it was Wen Bozhi, who was not yet in a coma at the time, who by all means stuffed his illegitimate daughter into the Rong Family, and Rong Mochen gave him some face by keeping Fu Mulan.
Further, Jin Jumo almost got sold to Vietnam because of Han Feng while at New锐 Film and Television previously.
Wen Qiye knew about Han Feng’s intentions beforehand but pretended not to know, instead even deliberately incited Han Feng to do so.
Rong Mochen at that time didn’t completely destroy them, only because of the face of the comatose Wen Bozhi and his reasonable enough daughter Wen Yi.
But later on, if Fu Mulan disappeared without a trace overnight, it was impossible without Wen Qiye’s secret assistance.
That’s why Xiao Nanqing said, the bankruptcy of New锐 Film and Television is not unjustified!
Jin Jumo was aware of the bankruptcy of New锐 Film and Television.
But didn’t know the reason.
The media merely said they offended some dignitaries, hence got targeted.
At that time, Jin Jumo didn’t think the dignitaries mentioned by the media would be Rong Mochen.
After all, Rong Mochen was also one of the major shareholders of New锐 Film and Television.
Even if he ended up buying New锐 Film and Television, it wasn’t what it used to be.
"Also, Little Momo."
Gu Yan’s baby face turned serious, his eyes heavy, looking at Jin Jumo.
Jin Jumo saw this and her heart suddenly sank.
"Four years ago, Tang Ruan’s miscarriage was also..." Gu Yan stopped speaking here.
"..."
Jin Jumo’s breath hitched violently, staring at Gu Yan in disbelief, "You said, you said what? Tang Ruan had a miscarriage?"
Gu Yan nodded solemnly, "And because of that miscarriage, she might find it difficult to conceive again for the rest of her life."
Jin Jumo’s hands clenched abruptly, her eyes narrowing continuously as she opened her mouth, unable to utter a single word.
Gu Yan sighed inwardly upon seeing Jin Jumo like this, and said, "Little Mo Mo, stop saying that Boss Rong likes Tang Ruan. Actually, it’s not like that between him and Tang Ruan; you misunderstood. If we’re talking about who Boss Rong cares about, besides you, who else could it be?"
"..." Something rolled down from Jin Jumo’s eye corners, because of the shock, because the things flooding her mind were too confounding, almost shattering all her perceptions.
"I don’t know why Boss Rong didn’t tell you these things. But I think, maybe he wants to punish himself," Gu Yan spoke softly, looking at Jin Jumo.
A sharp, unbearable pain sparked where her heart was, Jin Jumo’s face tightened, her gums clenched tightly, her whole body trembling.
Seeing Jin Jumo’s face turning a bit green, Gu Yan got frightened and hurriedly stepped forward.
But he was grabbed by the arm by Xiao Nanqing.
Gu Yan’s expression changed, and he looked back at Xiao Nanqing.
Xiao Nanqing said nothing, grasped his arm, and left the apartment in a few steps.
Lei Yicheng glanced at Jin Jumo, his mouth twitching a few times, but eventually said nothing, took the bedroom door with him, and also left the apartment.
The sound of the door closing came through.
Jin Jumo bent down, one hand gripping the edge of the bed tightly, gazing at the man who was slipping into unconsciousness, her peach blossom eyes reddened as if they had been washed with blood.
When Rong Mochen woke up, Jin Jumo was sitting quietly by his side, her expression showing a trace of weakness and fatigue.
Rong Mochen looked at the redness in her eyes, his long brows immediately furrowing, "What’s wrong?"
Jin Jumo shook her head, leaned in, touched his forehead with the back of her hand, feeling that the temperature had dropped a lot, then looked at him and said, "Doctor Ning said you need to take your medicine once you wake up. Let go of my hand, and I’ll get you some water."
Rong Mochen pressed his thin lips tightly, glanced at the small hand he was holding in his palm.
It was already somewhat swollen and red due to being grasped tightly for a long time.
The grip in his palm loosened, Rong Mochen locked his brows, his dark eyes passing over his agitation, "Did I hurt you?"
Jin Jumo still shook her head, lightly sniffing, "Your fever is over 39 degrees, although you’ve had a drip, you still need to take medicine to get better faster."
Rong Mochen stared at Jin Jumo’s reddened eyes for a long time before he said hoarsely, "It’s nothing."
Jin Jumo frowned, forcefully withdrew her hand, stood up from the bed, and looked away from him, "If you don’t take your medicine, then just leave. So Xixi and Hanhan won’t see you like this."
Rong Mochen’s brows twitched twice, watching Jin Jumo’s cold side profile, he pursed his lips, remaining silent.
Jin Jumo bit her teeth lightly, turned to look at him, "Are you going to take the medicine?"
Rong Mochen’s face tightened, not making a sound.
Jin Jumo squeezed her palms, her eyes suddenly flooded with more red, staring at him and shouting lowly, "Who told you to disturb the residents downstairs in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Now you’ve caught a bad cold, are you happy now?"
"...Who told you I... "
"Does it matter who told me?" Jin Jumo snorted coldly.
Rong Mochen, having grown up, really hadn’t been reprimanded like this by anyone except Rong Zhengfeng!
But he didn’t know why.
Being scolded by Jin Jumo like this, he actually felt a faint sense of joy inside...
Does this mean he’s... being masochistic?
Rong Mochen felt his lips twitch at this thought, swallowing awkwardly, his dark eyes flickered as he looked at Jin Jumo, and his voice lacked its usual steadiness, "Cough, it’s not like I wanted to catch a cold..."
Seeing Jin Jumo getting angry again, Rong Mochen’s eyebrows twitched, saying, "Weren’t you going to give me the medicine?"
Jin Jumo inhaled sharply, glared at him angrily, and huffed as she left a sentence, "I’m going to get the water."
"Mm." Rong Mochen rarely responded obediently.
Jin Jumo heard him, and couldn’t help but glance at him again.
Then she turned and left the master bedroom.
"Take it once now, and another time before bed. Have a good rest tonight, and you should feel much better by morning."
Jin Jumo took out the medicine prescribed by the doctor and told Rong Mochen.
Instinctively resistant, Rong Mochen did not respond when Jin Jumo said these things.
Jin Jumo placed the prepared medicine in a bottle cap and handed it to him, "Here you go."
Rong Mochen stared at the bottle cap filled with colorful pills, his gums tightened, a look of refusal written all over his stern face.
Seeing he didn’t take it, Jin Jumo pushed it closer to him again, "Take it."
"..." Rong Mochen pulled a face, as if what Jin Jumo was giving him was not medicine to cure him, but poison.
