Chapter 32

Feng Tingshen didn't appear for a long time, the old lady was angry, and Feng Jingxin was also unhappy.

Rong Ci, however, acted as if nothing had happened, calmly making tea for the old lady, saying: "Perhaps there is an urgent matter to handle and he couldn't get away for a moment."

The old lady was in a bad mood and went to bed early that night.

Feng Jingxin called Feng Tingshen several times, but no one answered on the other end.

The next morning.

When Rong Ci got up, there was no one beside her.

Feng Jingxin didn't know where she had run off to.

After Rong Ci finished washing up, she left the room and searched around but didn't see anyone.

Upon asking, she learned that because Feng Tingshen hadn't come, Feng Jingxin found it boring here and had someone take her down the mountain early in the morning to go play elsewhere.

And the old lady had caught a cold from the wind last night, had a severe headache in the middle of the night, and had already returned to the old mansion before she got up.

Because she didn't want to disturb her rest, the old lady hadn't had anyone notify her immediately.

For a time, the large Hot Spring Villa was left with only her, besides the staff.

Actually, even if Feng Jingxin found it boring here, she could have completely waited for her to wake up and have her take her to play.

Feng Jingxin leaving quietly without even saying a word was likely not because she was afraid of waking her, but because there was news from Feng Tingshen's side, and she was going over there to meet up with Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu.

Feng Jingxin was afraid that if she asked, she wouldn't let her go, which was why she snuck away early in the morning, right?

The weather wasn't very good today, and it was raining, but the hot spring pool had a cover, and in such weather, soaking in the hot spring while looking at the scenery and reading a book also had a unique charm.

What's more, she quite enjoyed her time alone.

She could have more time to do her own things.

Therefore, even if she was the only one left, Rong Ci continued to stay at the Hot Spring Villa.

By Sunday afternoon, Rong Ci planned to go home after dinner later.

Just at this moment, she received a call from Old Lady Feng: "Xiao Ci, I called Tingshen this morning and asked him to go to the Hot Spring Villa to pick you up tonight; has he contacted you?"

No.

They had agreed to come to the Hot Spring Villa together, but as a result, Feng Tingshen hadn't appeared to this day.

He hadn't even made a single phone call to her.

Not just him; after Feng Jingxin snuck away yesterday, she hadn't contacted her either.

However, she didn't intend to tell the old lady this.

To save trouble.

She said: "Yes."

Hearing Rong Ci say this, Old Lady Feng felt relieved: "That's good."

After asking about Old Lady Feng's health, the two hung up the phone.

After the sun went down, Rong Ci ate at the Hot Spring Villa.

The old lady said Feng Tingshen would come to pick her up, but she waited at the Hot Spring Villa until almost nine in the evening, and Feng Tingshen still hadn't appeared.

The Hot Spring Villa was quite far from her residence, and it would take over an hour and a half to return.

Rong Ci didn't want to wait any longer.

She had the Hot Spring Villa arrange a car to take her back.

After getting in the car, Rong Ci felt a bit drowsy.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Rong Ci was suddenly woken up by a ringtone.

It was a call from Chu Zilan.

Rong Ci answered the phone: "Zilan?"

"Damn it! Bitch!"

Rong Ci paused, and Chu Zilan hurriedly said: "It's nothing, I'm just cursing someone."

"What's wrong?"

"Didn't I have a charity gala to attend today? I didn't expect to see your scumbag dad and Lin Wu and the others!

Just now at the gala, a girl cursed Lin Wu for being a bitch and a mistress who snatched her fiancé, and even splashed red wine all over her; the scene was quite ugly. That girl's family background is quite good, and she wouldn't let it go, making a scene for quite a while. I was just watching the show, and I didn't expect your husband to actually show up!"

Rong Ci paused, then heard Chu Zilan continue through gritted teeth: "This is an all-star charity gala, and it's being livestreamed. Although Lin Wu and the others aren't big stars, the scene of him appearing to back Lin Wu up and taking Lin Wu away was still caught by the camera and livestreamed—"

Chu Zilan sent her the livestream video.

Rong Ci clicked on it to watch.

The gala had star singing and dancing performances, which were quite noisy, and the camera was far away, so it was really hard to hear what the people in the video were saying.

But the video clearly captured the whole process of that girl coming to find Lin Wu, getting into a dispute with Lin Wu, and splashing red wine on Lin Wu.

Afterward, the girl's fiancé rushed over to stop the girl, and the two started arguing.

Immediately after, the girl's family also arrived.

Chu Zilan saying the girl's family background was good must be true; they were very arrogant toward the Lin family. Lin Lihai lowered his posture, seemingly trying to reason with the other party, but that girl's family didn't want to listen at all, unleashing a barrage of insults at Lin Lihai and the others.

The Lin family's expressions were all not very good.

It looked like they had been insulted by that girl's family.

Just at this moment, Feng Tingshen appeared.

He immediately took off his coat, covered Lin Wu with it, then turned his head to say a few words to the girl's elders, and then picked up Lin Wu and left without looking back.

From the moment Feng Tingshen appeared to protect Lin Wu, the girl's family's expressions changed.

Seeing Feng Tingshen about to leave, they chased after him, seemingly wanting to explain, but were stopped by the bodyguards arranged by the gala.

At the end of the video, the girl's family, who had originally been arrogant, looked as if they were mourning, wanting to ease relations with the Lin family.

Lin Lihai and the others, however, changed from their previous anxiety and low posture, not even giving the girl and her family a glance, and followed behind Feng Tingshen as they left.

Because of the gathering of stars, this gala had a particularly high level of attention.

Although everyone didn't know Lin Wu and that girl, gossip is something everyone loves to watch, and quite a few people were paying attention to this matter.

Moreover, after learning that the person who "rescued" Lin Wu was Feng Tingshen, the popularity of this video spread all at once.

【Holy crap, is this handsome guy really that genius entrepreneur Feng Tingshen?】

【No, the news only told me that Feng Tingshen came from a wealthy family and founded many companies at a young age, but no one told me he was this handsome!】

【No way, who told him to be low-key, making us only hear his name but never see the person!】

After figuring out the whole story of the video, netizens:

【So, this girl caught her boyfriend with President Feng's girlfriend?】

【I know that girl's boyfriend; whether it's family background or looks, he is indeed quite outstanding, but compared to the big entrepreneur Feng... after all, that's President Feng! Not to mention family background and talent, even their faces and the aura they carry are simply not in the same league!】

As the popularity fermented, some of Lin Wu's fans recognized Lin Wu.

【Got a PhD from a top 3 university in the world at 25, is both a race car driver and an adventurer, and also a hacker... My god, this resume, is this sister this wild? This is the heroine of a big heroine novel coming into reality!】

【It's said that the last time the sister went to participate in a car race, President Feng also went to support her. Did you see that look in President Feng's eyes in the photo? It's full of admiration and pride for his girlfriend!】

【Saw it, saw it! Tsk tsk, seeing the beautiful sister's resume, and then looking at President Feng... they are simply a match made in heaven! Woohoo, it's enough that President Feng is a big entrepreneur at a young age, but his taste in choosing a girlfriend is also this good, it's enviable to death!】

【So, is it possible for the beautiful sister to go and hook up with that girl's boyfriend while having a boyfriend like President Feng? Impossible, she's not blind!】

【In the video, it was that girl's boyfriend who took the initiative to go over and greet the beautiful sister. I think it's understandable for the young lady to be nervous about her boyfriend, but to argue with people and splash red wine on them without distinguishing right from wrong is too much, right?】

【Exactly, so sometimes being too charming isn't a good thing. Look at this beautiful sister, didn't she bring this unprovoked disaster upon herself because she's too charming? Hahahaha~】

Seeing this, Rong Ci didn't continue watching and exited the webpage.

Old Lady Feng said she had contacted Feng Tingshen, asking him to go to the Hot Spring Villa to pick her up.

But it was already past ten o'clock now, and Feng Tingshen hadn't even made a single phone call, let alone come to pick her up.

However, it was also possible that Feng Tingshen had intended to come pick her up.

It was just that because something happened on Lin Wu's side, he went to "save the scene" for Lin Wu halfway, and just forgot about her.

Rong Ci didn't dwell on it either; after arriving home at eleven o'clock, she took a bath and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

A night without dreams.
