Chapter 616: The Countdown of Fu and Lin (3)

Fu Qinglun’s upper body was bare and though he had lost a good amount of weight over the past few days, he still had a good build. His skin was perfectly tanned with a muscular chest and a six pack underneath. Though he wasn’t as brawny as Lu Yan, his figure was still one that was admirable.

His wound had torn open again and it was a bloody mess. He stretched his arm out to grab a bottle of disinfecting alcohol and poured it all over his wound.

He broke out in a fine dew of perspiration after having to endure the burning sensation. The sweat had trickled down his face and landed on his trousers.

With quick motion, he picked up the needle and thread on the tray and started stitching his wound by himself.

Since he didn’t administer any anesthesia, the needle was poking through his flesh and it truly hurt.

He grit his teeth tightly, refusing to utter even a sound. The muscles on his body were tensed up but he forced himself to continue. No matter his tolerance, it definitely hurt and he was human after all.

The doctor and nurse standing by the side were flabbergasted witnessing the scene. They gaped at him, it was their first time seeing someone so tough throughout their years in the industry.

“Qinglun, w-what are you doing?!” Madam Fu covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.

She had ordered the doctor to not stitch up his wound.

But he had already figured out it was her, long before she came inside the ward. Ever since she stepped inside the ward, he hadn’t spoken to her, and didn’t even spare her a single glance.

He was extremely obstinate and didn’t even make a sound despite having to endure the pain.

He knew what was on her mind, he had already given her an answer, a firm one at that.

Madam Fu’s eyes were watery and she covered her mouth. The son she had raised all her life, she wasn’t so cruel to just watch as he stitched his wound up without administering any anesthesia, it wrenched at her heart.

But what about Rongrong…

Rongrong had spent the entire day pleading with her, crying in her presence—-‘Mom, I really love Brother Qinglun, I want to marry him. If Brother Qinglun doesn’t want me, there’s no point in living…’

Rongrong had attempted to slash her own wrist yesterday night, if it wasn’t for one of the maids who discovered her actions, she would already have committed suicide.

Rongrong didn’t want anyone else, other than Fu Qinglun.

Madam Fu was caught in the middle, no matter what her decision was, her heart would still ache nonetheless.

“Brother Qinglun, doesn’t it hurt?” Rongrong rushed forward to stand beside him. “Brother Qinglun, as long as you agree to marry me, the doctor will immediately give you the medical attention that you need. What’s so bad about marrying me? You would remain as Mom’s son and you’ll still be the young master of the Fu family. We’d be one family.”

Fu Qinglun had already finished stitching his wound, he wasn’t good at it and the end product was like an ugly caterpillar. He lifted his eyes to glance at Rongrong, revealing a sardonic smile. “Look in the mirror before talking to me. Get lost.”

“…”

All the color drained from Rongrong’s beautiful face, she was utterly embarrassed by Fu Qinglun’s words.

“Mom, did you hear what Brother Qinglun just said!” Rongrong tugged on Madam Fu’s sleeve and wailed.

Madam Fu looked at Fu Qinglun. “Qinglun…”

“Madam Fu,” Fu Qinglun’s voice was extremely hoarse, “If this hospital is not able to take me in, there’s no need for you to chase me away. I’ll leave right away.”

Fu Qinglun then stood up.

“Qinglun, that was never my intention. You can rest well here, I’ll leave.” Madam Fu then pulled Rongrong away with her and left.

…

They had left.

At long last, there was silence in the ward.

Fu Qinglun bent down, applying some pressure on his wound.

His body slid downwards and he collapsed on the ground beside the bed.

The doctor quickly rushed forward, the man in front of him used to be the young master of their hospital and always held a dignified image. But now, it was his first time seeing Fu Qinglun so pathetic. The man was on the cold ground, completely helpless.

“Young Master Fu, don’t move around. I’ll bandage your wound.”

After the doctor was done handling his wound, Fu Qinglun spoke, “You may leave already.”

“Understood, Young Master Fu.”

The doctor left.

Fu Qinglun was the only one left in the ward, and he sat up and leaned back against the bed. His Adam’s apple bobbed and he opened his palm.

The ring made out of the green foxtail lay on his palm.

She threw it away but he had gone to pick it up again.

The corner of his lips formed a slight arch and he shut his eyes.

…

Lin Shiyu received a phone call from her assistant, Bao Zi.

“Lion, bad news. Someone higher up has ordered for you to be banned from the entertainment industry. Your album has been removed from all online music sites and stores. Someone deliberately put a halt to your entertainment work schedule.” Bao Zi sounded frantic as she reported.

Lin Shiyu knitted her brows, it must have been Fu Jingtong’s work.

Fu Jingtong had taken over Fu Qinglun’s place in the company and caused an upheaval in Karghalik. It wasn’t that hard for him to ban her from the entertainment industry.

“Bao Zi, you can return to Singapore first. Many things have happened recently and I’ll head over to find you only after I’m done settling these issues. As long as I’m alive, we can always make a comeback.” Lin Shiyu’s voice remained calm.

“Okay Lion, I’ll follow your plans. But I still have some stuff to pass to you. Let’s meet at the CC bar later tonight,” Bao Zi said.

Lin Shiyu glanced at the time and nodded. “Okay.”

…

CC Bar.

Lin Shiyu found Bao Zi, who handed a paper box over to her. “Lion, here is all of your stuff. I’ve already packed it all for you.”

“Bao Zi, thank you.”

Bao Zi looked somewhat awkward and did not meet Lin Shiyu’s gaze.

Clap clap clap. A familiar voice was heard, “Shiyu, there’s no need to thank Bao Zi. She’s now my manager.”

Lin Shiyu lifted her eyes, it was Lu Qi’er in front of her.

“Shiyu, not only is your manager mine, I’ll also replace you and make a comeback in the music industry. Your resources are all mine now.” Lu Qi’er looked at Lin Shiyu proudly.

Lin Shiyu gave Lu Qi’er a glance before she looked at Bao Zi. “What else are you hiding from me?”

Bao Zi didn’t dare to have eye contact with Lin Shiyu, she quickly hid behind Lu Qi’er.

Footsteps could be heard, someone else had arrived.

Fu Jingtong.

Ah. So this is how it was.

Lin Shiyu instantly figured everything out and she smirked. “Young Master Jingtong, you’ve abducted my mother, held her captive and yet you’re still afraid that I’ll betray you? Aren’t you making an unnecessary move?”

Fu Jingtong sat on the couch, he glanced at Lin Shiyu’s curvaceous figure before patting his thigh. “Come over and sit on my lap.”

“You’re trying to be a playboy? Lu Qi’er is pretty suited for you in my opinion, you guys are a match made in heaven. I’ll not bother with you then!” Lin Shiyu turned around to leave.

But she couldn’t leave, a bodyguard grabbed onto her slender arm and pushed her towards Fu Jingtong.

Fu Jingtong stretched his arm out to hold onto her waist before pulling her on his lap. He leaned forward to take a whiff of her hair and smiled. “Shi’shi, you smell so good.”
