Chapter 40: Couldn't drive her away even if he wanted to

Rong Ci subconsciously refused: "No need to trouble, I can go pick it up myself."

She refused cleanly and neatly, and there was silence on the other side.

Rong Ci: "Mr. He?"

"Okay, I'll send you the contact information for the repair shop over there in a moment."

"Okay, sorry for the trouble."

He Zhangbai didn't speak and hung up the phone.

Rong Ci's foot was injured like this, so naturally, she couldn't go pick up the car herself.

She thought about it and still asked Yu Moxun for help.

Yu Moxun agreed to help her drive the car back after he finished his work.

In the evening, Rong Ci ordered takeout. Just after finishing, Feng Jingxin's call came, asking when she would be home.

Rong Ci said directly: "Mom sprained her foot, walking is not convenient, I'm recuperating outside now, so I won't be going home, you rest early."

Hearing this, Feng Jingxin immediately asked: "Ah? Mom, you injured your foot? Is it serious? Does it hurt?"

"It hurts, but it's not serious, it will be better in a few days."

"Okay."

Hearing Rong Ci say this, Feng Jingxin felt a bit more relieved and asked with concern: "Then where are you now? When Dad comes back, I'll find time with Dad to go see you tomorrow."

Hearing this, Rong Ci said directly: "No need, Mom can take care of herself, you just study well."

"Then okay..."

After chatting for a few more sentences, they hung up.

A while later, Feng Tingshen returned.

Feng Jingxin saw him, called out "Dad," and before Feng Tingshen could speak, she hurriedly said: "Dad, Mom injured her foot, she's recuperating outside now!"

Feng Tingshen gave an "Mm," took off his high-quality suit jacket, handed it to the butler, and said: "I know."

"Ah?" Feng Jingxin looked up in surprise: "Dad, how do you know? Did Mom tell you?"

Feng Tingshen sat down, took the water cup handed over by Liu Shen, and said: "No, I saw it with my own eyes."

"Saw it with your own eyes?" Feng Jingxin paused: "When Mom was injured, Dad was there too?"

"Mm."

Feng Jingxin seemed to remember something and said: "Oh, right, Mom works at Dad's company, so when Mom was injured, Dad saw it, right?"

"No." Feng Tingshen's tone was indifferent: "Mom doesn't work at Dad's company anymore."

"Ah?" Feng Jingxin looked up, puzzled: "Then where does Mom work now?"

"The place she likes."

"Oh..."

After drinking the water, Feng Tingshen put down the cup, and before going upstairs, he rubbed her head with his fair, large palm and said: "Rest early."

Feng Jingxin: "Got it."

At eight o'clock in the evening, Yu Moxun helped Rong Ci drive the car back.

Rong Ci took the key and said: "How much is the total repair cost this time?"

Meaning she wanted to return the money to him.

Yu Moxun sat on the sofa and said: "How would I know?"

"Mm?" Rong Ci: "If you didn't pay, how did you pick up the car?"

"No one told me I needed to pay, they heard it was your car and let me drive it away."

Rong Ci paused.

So, He Zhangbai paid for it?

She really hadn't expected this.

"What's wrong?" Seeing her expression was wrong, Yu Moxun asked.

Rong Ci shook her head: "Nothing."

"Then let's do the 'homework' first, so I can go back and rest after finishing. I've been busy all day, I'm exhausted!"

The homework he mentioned was naturally the exhibition thoughts Nan Zhizhi assigned them this morning.

Rong Ci: "Okay."

Rong Ci thought about the repair fee and said: "I'll make a call first."

"Mm."

Rong Ci casually called He Zhangbai.

The other side answered in seconds: "Hello."

"Mr. He, it's me, Rong Ci."

He Zhangbai: "I know. What's the matter?"

Rong Ci said: "It's like this, I picked up the car, may I ask if you paid the repair fee for me? How much is it in total? I'll transfer the money to you right now."

He Zhangbai was silent for a moment, then said: "I'll send you the account number in a moment."

"Okay." Rong Ci said politely: "Sorry, to bother you. Also, thank you very much for today's matter."

He Zhangbai said indifferently: "You're welcome."

After speaking, he hung up first.

Yu Moxun was listening on the side and asked: "The person who helped you handle the car today?"

At this time, He Zhangbai had already sent the card number and the photo of today's repair invoice.

Rong Ci took a look, and while opening the mobile payment app, said: "Yes."

Listening to the tone of Rong Ci talking to He Zhangbai, Yu Moxun could tell that Rong Ci and the other party didn't seem to be close.

As for He Zhangbai, Yu Moxun naturally knew him too, and also knew Rong Ci knew him.

As far as he knew, Rong Ci and He Zhangbai had almost no friendship.

So, even hearing Rong Ci call the person on the other side Mr. He just now, he didn't think of He Zhangbai.

Rong Ci transferred the money back to He Zhangbai without missing a cent.

Finally, after sending another thank-you note, she and Yu Moxun officially started doing the "homework" Nan Zhizhi assigned them today.

They used PPT format to simply mark out the core technology of all the exhibits today.

Even so, because there were many exhibits today, by the time they finished and sent the content to Nan Zhizhi, it was already past two in the morning.

Yu Moxun was already exhausted, but he didn't have a change of clothes here, so Rong Ci didn't keep him to stay.

After Yu Moxun left, Rong Ci moved her injured foot to the bathroom to take a shower, then returned to her room to sleep.

Her foot injury wasn't serious, but Yu Moxun still hoped she could rest for a few days before returning to work at the company.

So, when Rong Ci woke up the next day, she stayed at home to work from home and didn't go out.

It's just that not long after she got up, she received a call from Feng Jingxin: "Mom, is your foot better now?"

Rong Ci stepped lightly, while making breakfast in the kitchen, and said: "A bit better."

"That's good." Feng Jingxin was also still eating breakfast. After saying this, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Rong Ci felt it.

Actually, it wasn't like this before.

Before, Feng Jingxin would always have a lot of things to say to her.

In the past two years, the communication between them had become less and less, plus even if Feng Jingxin had something to say, she would go to Lin Wu to confide at the first opportunity, slowly, the mother and daughter naturally had nothing to say.

This time she was injured, Feng Jingxin seemed to care about her.

In fact, her concern was too superficial.

Concern was true, but she didn't care too much.

Because if it were before, as long as she was slightly injured, or sick with a cold, Feng Jingxin would cry out of heartache, then hold her and not let go, comforting her all the time, while wanting to take care of her without leaving her side, couldn't drive her away even if she wanted to.

At that time, she was really a very warm little cotton-padded jacket.

But all these, when she didn't know, she gave them all to Lin Wu.

Just like the last time Lin Wu was sick, after Feng Tingshen rushed over before breakfast was finished, Feng Jingxin also secretly sent a message to Lin Wu to care about her behind her back, and after school, she immediately asked the driver to take her to see Lin Wu...

So, if she was really particularly worried about her, she could have directly pestered her for her address last night, and then asked the driver to send her over to her place.

But in the end, she still didn't come.

Feng Jingxin didn't know what to say to Rong Ci for a moment, so she looked at Feng Tingshen who was eating breakfast opposite her and said: "Dad, do you want to talk to Mom on the phone?" ===== CHAPTER 41 =====
