Chapter 275

~5 min read 893 words

That evening, when Rong Ci was preparing to get off work, Feng Jingxin called her.

Tomorrow is Saturday, and Feng Jingxin calling her is likely because she wants to come find her.

But she is not free tomorrow.

Tomorrow, she is going to the nursing home with Old Lady Rong and the others to consult with the doctor about her mother's treatment medication.

Therefore, she didn't answer Feng Jingxin's call.

On Saturday, after arriving at the nursing home, Rong Ci discovered that Rong Yingsheng was even thinner than they had seen a few days ago, her hair was dry, and there was no color in her face at all.

The doctor explained: "The medication she was taking previously for her mental condition caused certain damage to her liver and kidneys. It was fine to take it before, but with her current situation of organ failure, it is no longer suitable to continue. Therefore, we stopped some of her medication. These past few days, her mental state has been very poor, and coupled with the need to take antibiotics for organ failure, her body is under a very heavy burden now..."

Rong Ci tightened her grip on her bag and nodded to show she understood.

Afterwards, Rong Ci and Rong Changsheng and the others chatted with the doctor for a long time, and it wasn't until noon that they left the nursing home.

When leaving the nursing home, Feng Jingxin's call came through again.

Rong Ci pursed her lips and hung up.

Afterwards, Feng Jingxin did not call again.

However, in the afternoon, Chu Zilan, who had returned to the country yesterday, called her and invited her out shopping.

Rong Ci was in a bad mood and didn't really want to go out, plus Old Lady Rong's health hadn't been very good lately, so she stayed home to keep her company.

Old Lady Rong patted the back of her hand and said: "Don't stay cooped up; going out to clear your mind is good too."

Rong Ci: "... Alright."

After Rong Ci changed her clothes, she went out.

Chu Zilan had been busy with her own fashion show abroad for the past few months, and during this time they had both been busy, so they hadn't had much time to keep in touch.

After meeting up and chatting for a good while, Chu Zilan finally learned that Rong Yingsheng's health had run into problems.

Chu Zilan stopped drinking her milk tea, feeling upset as well, and after a long while, she comforted her: "Auntie... will definitely get better."

Rong Ci was praying for the same thing.

However, Rong Yingsheng's physical condition was indeed deteriorating rapidly.

In fact, she and the others in the family understood that the chances of her getting better were not high.

"I didn't know about this; if I had known, I wouldn't have asked you to come out—"

"It's fine." Rong Ci shook her head, and just as she was about to speak, she turned her head and saw two familiar figures.

Her eyes suddenly turned cold.

Chu Zilan followed her gaze and realized it was Lin Lihai and Sun Yueqing.

Sun Yueqing was dressed luxuriously with an elegant temperament; although she was nearly fifty, she looked like she wasn't even forty yet.

Lin Lihai also seemed to pay great attention to his appearance, and even past fifty, his figure remained upright.

The two of them looked like a well-matched and loving couple.

They were dressed casually, clearly out to enjoy some time alone, and they looked to be in a very good mood.

Sun Yueqing and Lin Lihai did not see them.

Lin Lihai held Sun Yueqing's hand, helping her carry her bags and pick out clothes, looking like a good husband.

Watching this, Chu Zilan gritted her teeth in anger and said: "Why do they get to live so well? This world is truly unfair."

Rong Ci lowered her eyes.

Yes, it is very unfair.

Chu Zilan paused here and said: "Forget about them, the most infuriating thing is that Feng Tingshen still—"

Now that Rong Ci and Feng Tingshen are getting a divorce, with Feng Tingshen around, the Lin family's life will likely only get better and better.

But Rong Yingsheng is—

Rong Ci gripped the milk tea cup in her hand tightly.

Before long, Lin Lihai and Sun Yueqing walked away.

Rong Ci was already in a bad mood, and with the disruption from Lin Lihai and the other, she and Chu Zilan didn't shop much longer and went home separately.

On Monday morning, Rong Ci and Yu Moxun went to the Feng family company.

This time, the people they were coordinating with were the core technical staff of the Feng family; Feng Tingshen was not there.

After a busy morning, Rong Ci went to the restroom, and when she returned, she saw Feng Tingshen and Cheng Yuan standing at the entrance.

They were discussing something, and upon seeing her, they stopped.

Just as Rong Ci was about to pass them and leave, Feng Tingshen suddenly spoke up: "Why didn't you answer Miss Xin Xin's call?"

Rong Ci stopped in her tracks and said coldly: "Why must I answer her call?"

Seeming not to have expected this reaction from her, Feng Tingshen was rarely stunned, his deep eyes looking at her, and he suddenly didn't speak again.
