Chapter 29: Think I

Feng Jingxin must have gone crazy playing with Lin Wu and the others; for these two days on Saturday and Sunday, she didn't contact Rong Ci again.

On Monday, Rong Ci went to Changmo for work as usual.

Just before getting off work, Chu Zilan called to say she wanted to treat her to a meal.

When the meal was almost finished, Rong Ci went to the restroom.

Then, she bumped into He Zhangbai.

Rong Ci didn't stop her footsteps and walked past him as if she hadn't seen him.

He Zhangbai stopped his footsteps and looked at her sideways.

Rong Ci noticed, but ignored him.

Rong Ci came out of the restroom, only to see He Zhangbai standing where they had just bumped into each other, not having left.

Seeing her come out, he looked at her sideways: "Came here to eat?"

He looked as if he had been waiting for her specifically.

"Yes." She finished speaking and said coldly: "Does Mr. He think I'm following you again?"

He Zhangbai paused before saying: "That's not what I meant."

Rong Ci didn't know what he meant.

She didn't want to know either.

After speaking, she left directly, and He Zhangbai didn't call her to stop.

Leaving the restaurant, Chu Zilan wanted to buy a birthday gift for her mother.

Rong Ci accompanied her to a jewelry store.

Chu Zilan took a fancy to a jade necklace and had just chatted with the store manager for a few words when someone at the door said: "Hello, I'm here to pick up jewelry."

Hearing the person's voice, Rong Ci paused.

"So it's Lin Zong." Seeing the person, the store owner immediately raised a smile and, after apologizing to Rong Ci and Chu Zilan, walked toward the person: "Lin Zong, the jewelry you customized has already been packed—"

"Xiao Ci?" Confirming he hadn't recognized the wrong person, Lin Lihai walked toward Rong Ci: "Are you also here to order jewelry?"

Rong Ci looked at him and didn't speak.

Seeing Rong Ci's cold attitude toward him, Lin Lihai's expression was desolate: "Xiao Ci..."

Rong Ci turned her face away, ignored him, and asked Chu Zilan: "Are you sure you want to choose this one?"

Chu Zilan hadn't seen Lin Lihai before. Seeing that the other party, although having traces of years, looked gentle and elegant, she gently bumped Rong Ci's waist with her elbow and whispered: "Who is this?"

Rong Ci didn't answer.

Lin Lihai didn't walk away, looking at Rong Ci and saying: "Xiao Ci, you... have you been doing well lately?"

Rong Ci pursed her lips and finally looked toward him, asking coldly: "What do you want to say?"

"I..." Lin Lihai's tone was gentle: "Xiao Ci, must you speak to Dad with such an attitude?"

Rong Ci said coldly: "Then what attitude do you think I should use to speak to you?"

"Dad knows there were things Dad didn't do right before, but you know, Dad has always had you in his heart."

Rong Ci listened and smiled: "Yes, you have me in your heart, so you let Lin Wu approach my husband and let my husband take good care of her—you tell me, how can you say you don't have me in your heart?"

"Xiao Ci..." Lin Lihai frowned: "Dad can understand your mood, but Xiao Wu and Tingshen are truly in love, feelings cannot be forced, why must you—"

"Yes, feelings cannot be forced, so you cheated as a matter of course back then, and she, like her mother, is a mistress who is open and aboveboard, righteous and confident, right?"

Lin Lihai's face sank: "Xiao Ci! When did you become so extreme?"

"Am I extreme?" Rong Ci sneered: "Would it not be extreme if I divorced Feng Tingshen immediately and fulfilled Lin Wu?"

"Lihai, what happened?"

At this moment, Xiang Rufang and Sun Liyao walked in.

Xiang Rufang was the first to see Rong Ci.

She immediately smiled: "Isn't this Xiao Ci? Long time no see, you're really getting more and more beautiful."

"Mom..."

Hearing Xiang Rufang praise Rong Ci, Sun Liyao was unhappy.

She had always known Rong Ci was very beautiful.

She didn't expect that after not seeing her for a few years, Rong Ci would be even more beautiful than before.

Looking at Rong Ci's snow-white, delicate skin and outstanding temperament, she was extremely jealous in her heart.

However, she then thought, so what if Rong Ci was beautiful? Her future brother-in-law still didn't like her, only liked her sister Lin Wu?

Thinking of this, she felt a bit more balanced in her heart.

Lin Lihai looked at Xiang Rufang: "Sister-in-law, why did you come?"

"Seeing that you hadn't returned for so long, we came to take a look." Sun Liyao interrupted, and after speaking, looking at the jewelry box opened by the store owner, she looked at Rong Ci and said deliberately and loudly: "Uncle, is this the wedding anniversary gift you customized for Auntie? So beautiful!"

Lin Lihai smiled: "Yes."

"Every wedding anniversary, Uncle, you prepare expensive gifts for Auntie in advance and create surprises for Auntie. You are so good to Auntie!"

Lin Lihai smiled.

Over there, Chu Zilan heard this and basically already knew the identities of the three of them.

"Turns out to be a bunch of sluts," she cursed in a low voice, paid the bill, pulled Rong Ci, and turned to leave.

"Little Ci." Lin Lihai called out to Rong Ci, walked over, and said: "Your aunt treats you sincerely, she has also always been thinking of you. You and Little Wu are sisters, you are family. Like the matter with Changmo this time, Dad hopes it won't happen again—"

Rong Ci listened and smiled: "Are you deliberately trying to disgust me?"

"You—"

"Cousin, if she doesn't want to, she doesn't want to. Not to mention she doesn't want to, even if she wanted to, my sister wouldn't want to. What level is she? Is she worthy of being sisters with my sister?"

Saying this, she looked at Rong Ci with a light hum and said: "You targeted my sister and didn't let her enter Changmo, you must be very proud, right? But you don't know, the more you target my sister, the more my brother-in-law feels sorry for her. Look, after my brother-in-law learned that you and that Changmo boss bullied my sister, he immediately went to find trouble with Changmo.

Although there was an accident and it didn't end up moving Changmo, to compensate for the grievances my sister suffered, these two days my brother-in-law directly gave us a big project worth several hundred million, and that big project is exactly what your uncle has been begging for recently, haha..."

Rong Ci pursed her lips, her hands clenched into fists.

Chu Zilan was also enraged and sneered: "Is Feng Tingshen married to Lin Wu? They aren't married yet, and she's calling him brother-in-law, so shameless!"

"You!"

"Alright, Yao Yao." Lin Lihai pulled Sun Liyao, sighed, and said to Rong Ci: "Little Ci, Little Wu is a genius in the AI field. She has important things to do by entering Changmo. In the future, restrain

"Have you said enough?" Rong Ci looked at him, her eyes devoid of any warmth: "Once you're done, you can get lost."

Xiang Rufang, who had been silent until now, fanned the flames: "Xiao Ci, you really are a child, how can you speak to your father like that?"

Sun Liyao chimed in: "Exactly, you have absolutely no upbringing!"

Rong Ci said coldly: "I don't have the kind of upbringing you have, one after another rushing to be the mistress!"

"You!"

"Enough." Seeing that Rong Ci was impervious to reason, Lin Lihai was extremely disappointed and said: "Let's go."

"Hmph!"

Lin Lihai picked up his custom-made gift and soon left together with Sun Liyao and the others.
