Chapter 324: His feelings had long since been given entirely to Rong Ci
Upon hearing this, just as Rong Ci was about to speak, Feng Tingshen spoke first: "Your mom is busy with work, don't disturb her."
Feng Jingxin pouted, unhappy, and looked up at Rong Ci expectantly.
Rong Ci said: "Mom has to go to another company to discuss business immediately after the meeting at the company. It's not convenient to take you along. Next time."
Hearing Rong Ci say this, Feng Jingxin's voice was a bit muffled, but she finally let go, "Okay..."
The old lady Feng hadn't woken up yet, and there was nothing for the old lady Rong and Feng Tingshen to talk about, so when Rong Ci left, she followed along.
After entering the elevator, she said in a flat tone: "He wasn't afraid that Jingxin would disturb your work by going to the company with you; he was probably afraid that if Jingxin went to the company with you, she would be seen by acquaintances, right?"
Rong Ci understood what she meant.
If the news that she and Feng Tingshen were husband and wife and hadn't officially divorced yet spread, Lin Wu would be the first to bear the brunt.
In order to protect Lin Wu, before their divorce, Feng Tingshen would naturally keep the fact that he and his "ex-wife" hadn't divorced a tight secret.
Downstairs, Rong Ci watched the old lady Rong's car leave before turning to get into her own car.
Just as he arrived at the hospital and stepped out of his car, He Zhangbai recognized Rong Ci's silhouette at a glance.
He subconsciously wanted to speak, but Rong Ci had already driven away from the exit.
He Zhangbai swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Qi Yuming walked around from the driver's side and patted him on the shoulder: "What are you spacing out for? Let's go."
He Zhangbai came back to his senses and turned to go upstairs with Qi Yuming.
Seeing them arrive, Feng Jingxin greeted them: "Uncle He, Uncle Qi."
He Zhangbai smiled, reached out to ruffle Feng Jingxin's hair, and then placed the fruit basket on the table to the side.
At this moment, he happened to see the gift that Rong Ci and the old lady Rong had brought.
On the gift, the small card with Rong Ci's personal handwritten wish for the old lady Feng to recover soon was clearly visible.
Seeing the handwriting Rong Ci had left behind, He Zhangbai's heart softened unconsciously, and he stared absentmindedly at the small card signed "Xiao Ci."
Seeing him standing there blankly without moving, Qi Yuming called out to him: "Zhangbai, come over and sit. What are you looking at?"
He Zhangbai finally came back to his senses, turned his head to look, and realized that Qi Yuming and Feng Tingshen were both looking at him.
After meeting Feng Tingshen's gaze, he subconsciously looked away. After responding with an "Okay," he put down the fruit basket and was about to go over and sit down when he paused, turned to the side, and adjusted the position of the fruit basket he had brought so that it was right next to the gift Rong Ci had brought.
Just as He Zhangbai sat down, Feng Tingshen's phone rang.
It was a call from Lin Wu.
Feng Tingshen saw it and answered.
On the other end of the line, Lin Wu asked with concern: "How is the old lady now? Has she woken up?"
"Not yet."
"What about Jingxin? Is she in a better mood?"
"Much better."
"Let me talk to Jingxin for a couple of words?"
"Okay."
Feng Tingshen handed the phone to Feng Jingxin.
Feng Jingxin: "Is that Aunt Wuwu?"
"Yes."
Feng Jingxin quickly took the phone and said coquettishly: "Aunt Wuwu..."
Learning that it was a call from Lin Wu, Qi Yuming rubbed his nose.
Before he came over just now, he had asked Feng Tingshen on the phone if Lin Wu would come to the hospital to visit the old lady.
Feng Tingshen said no.
Later, when he asked, he found out that Sang Qian had issued an ultimatum last night, specifically saying that Lin Wu was not allowed to visit the old lady.
Actually, Sang Qian's original words were, "Don't bring some idle people to the ward to disturb your grandmother's recovery."
Thinking of this, Qi Yuming wanted to gossip a bit more, but seeing Feng Jingxin and the butler there, he felt it wasn't appropriate to talk about it, so he shut his mouth.
Feng Tingshen and He Zhangbai both had important matters to attend to, so after visiting the old lady Feng, He Zhangbai and Qi Yuming didn't stay in the ward for long.
However, it had indeed been quite a long time since the few of them had eaten together.
Before leaving, Qi Yuming said: "If you can all squeeze out some time, shall we all get together tonight?"
Feng Tingshen and He Zhangbai said in unison: "Okay."
Feng Tingshen had been busy with business at the hospital all day. In the evening, Sang Qian came to take his shift, so he headed to the restaurant Qi Yuming had booked.
Feng Jingxin had returned to the Rong family at noon.
Therefore, Feng Tingshen went to the restaurant alone in the evening.
When he arrived at the restaurant, He Zhangbai and Qi Yuming had already arrived.
Lin Wu was the last to arrive.
Pushing open the door to enter the private room, Feng Tingshen turned his head to look and was the first to speak: "You're here?"
Lin Wu smiled: "Yes."
As she responded, she also saw He Zhangbai on the side.
At first, when she learned that He Zhangbai had changed his mind and liked Rong Ci, she was surprised, and besides being surprised, she also felt very puzzled.
She didn't understand what Rong Ci had, other than being a bit pretty, that was worth He Zhangbai liking.
Especially since He Zhangbai had been very disgusted with Rong Ci because of the incident where Rong Ci drugged him to force a marriage to Feng Tingshen.
She didn't understand why He Zhangbai had suddenly changed his attitude and actually fallen for her.
But now...
Thinking of the scene she saw in the parking lot a few days ago; thinking that Chang Mo was actually co-founded by Rong Ci and Yu Moxun; thinking that the 'cuap' she had always looked up to was actually developed by the team Rong Ci led; thinking of the 'Mentor's wife' Rong Ci called Yan Yunzhi; thinking that Rong Ci also had a share in the money-making Chang Mo; thinking of all the bits and pieces related to Rong Ci and Chang Mo over the past half-year, she suddenly understood what He Zhangbai liked about Rong Ci.
In other words, He Zhangbai might have known long ago that Rong Ci was Nan Zhizhi's student.
Regarding the relationship between Rong Ci and Chang Mo, he should have also known about it long ago.
But even though he clearly knew so many things about Rong Ci, he had never mentioned a single word to her all this time—
Thinking of how hard she had worked in front of him, with the goal of being seen by Nan Zhizhi; thinking of how many times she had expressed her admiration for the developer of 'cuap', she felt she was simply a clown.
It was simply ridiculous!
Thinking of all this, Lin Wu gripped her bag tightly and bit her teeth hard to barely maintain her outward calm.
But in the depths of her eyes, tears welled up due to shame.
By this time, she also understood that He Zhangbai perhaps no longer had those kinds of feelings for her.
His feelings had long since been given entirely to Rong Ci, without her even noticing!
Lin Wu's thoughts raced, but in reality, only a few seconds had passed.
Feng Tingshen noticed that she was suddenly standing still and turned to look over. When he was about to speak, he noticed that her complexion was unusually poor. He paused and asked: "What's wrong? Why is your complexion so bad?"
Hearing this, Qi Yuming and He Zhangbai, who were talking, also looked toward her.
Lin Wu's hands, which were gripping her bag, turned white. She tried hard to control her emotions, and after two seconds, she squeezed out a smile and said: "It's nothing." ===== CHAPTER 325 =====
