Chapter 51

~7 min read 1,385 words

Hearing that it was Lin Wu who answered the phone, Seeing Rong Ci was not surprised.

After all, Feng Tingshen and she were already so intimate, not distinguishing between each other.

So what if she answered Feng Tingshen's phone?

She spoke calmly: "I'm looking for Feng Tingshen."

Lin Wu also knew that the person on the other end was Seeing Rong Ci.

She said coldly: "He is showering; you can tell me if you have anything."

Tell her?

This matter was indeed related to her.

The person her uncle saw in the complex today was indeed Lin Wu's aunt, but the person who bought that villa was likely Lin Lihai.

He bought that villa, and it was very likely to honor Lin Wu's grandmother, his current mother-in-law.

So, if she really told Lin Wu, would she stop her grandmother and aunt's family from moving into that villa?

No, she wouldn't.

Furthermore, she didn't believe that Lin Wu wouldn't know about her aunt's family moving in opposite her uncle's villa.

Therefore, if she told Lin Wu about this, not only would it be useless, but it would also be counterproductive.

Seeing Rong Ci didn't speak and hung up the phone directly.

More than an hour passed, and she still hadn't received a call back from Feng Tingshen.

She didn't know if Lin Wu hadn't told him she had called, or if he actually didn't want to return her call.

To her, there was no difference anymore.

She calmly dialed him again.

But this time, Feng Tingshen's phone was already turned off and couldn't get through.

Seeing Rong Ci's hand holding the phone tightened a bit.

A while later, she calmed her emotions and called the butler on Feng Tingshen's side, asking: "Are they at home right now?"

Butler: "No, what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

That night, Seeing Rong Ci didn't sleep well.

Waking up the next day, after nine o'clock, she called Feng Tingshen again.

This time it got through.

But it was immediately hung up.

Seeing Rong Ci didn't know if the call on the other end was hung up by Lin Wu or Feng Tingshen.

She didn't want to get to the bottom of it.

She picked up her phone and bag and went out.

Not long after, she returned to Feng Tingshen's villa.

The butler was very happy: "The lady is back?"

Seeing Rong Ci: "Mm."

"Is the lady eating lunch at home? I'll have someone make it for you."

"Okay, sorry for the trouble."

Seeing Rong Ci went upstairs, and when she reached the second floor, her footsteps paused, and then she entered the master bedroom.

She put down her bag and sat on the edge of the bed.

The master bedroom was still the same, nothing had changed, but the skincare products she had left behind when she stayed to accompany Feng Jingxin had all been put back here.

Not only that, the clothes she had changed out of before were also put back in the walk-in closet here, hanging right next to Feng Tingshen's clothes.

Everything looked as if she had never left.

She didn't call Feng Tingshen again.

Feng Tingshen also never returned her call.

She ate dinner alone.

Actually, it wasn't that she hadn't thought about asking Old Lady Feng for help.

But if the old lady were disturbed, the matter would be hard to resolve.

Furthermore, although Feng Tingshen respected the old lady, whether he listened or not was entirely up to his own will.

After dinner, she opened her computer and continued to busy herself with her own affairs.

Night deepened.

Just when she thought Feng Tingshen and Feng Jingxin wouldn't be back tonight, a sound of a car finally rang out outside.

When Feng Jingxin got out of the car, she saw Seeing Rong Ci's car and said to Feng Tingshen: "Hey, it's Mom's car, Dad, Mom is home!"

"Mm."

Feng Tingshen glanced at Seeing Rong Ci's car and entered the door with Feng Jingxin.

Feng Jingxin asked the butler who came to welcome them: "Where is my mom?"

"The lady is upstairs."

"Okay!"

Feng Jingxin happily ran upstairs.

Seeing Rong Ci had just closed her computer and packed up her things, and just as she walked out of the master bedroom, Feng Jingxin threw herself into her arms, hugging her: "Mom!"

"Mm." Seeing Rong Ci just touched her hair and didn't hug her.

Feng Jingxin didn't notice and was happily talking to Seeing Rong Ci. At this time, Feng Tingshen also came upstairs. When Seeing Rong Ci heard the footsteps and looked over, their eyes met perfectly.

Feng Tingshen's expression was blank, and Seeing Rong Ci's expression was also relatively calm. She said to Feng Jingxin, who was talking to her: "Let Auntie Liu help you shower; Mom has something to say to Dad."

Feng Tingshen heard this and stopped his footsteps.

Feng Jingxin had been out playing for two days and was in a very good mood. Hearing Seeing Rong Ci say this, although she was unhappy, she didn't say much and went back to her room to let Auntie Liu wash her hair and shower.

Seeing Rong Ci looked at Feng Tingshen, who was leaning against the wall, holding his phone and busy with something, and said: "Shall we go into the room and talk?"

"Mm."

Seeing Rong Ci entered the room first, and when Feng Tingshen entered, she said: "Close the door."

She was afraid that if they started arguing later, it would disturb Feng Jingxin.

Speaking of which, they had been married for many years, and although their relationship wasn't good, they had never argued.

Feng Tingshen was too lazy to even pay attention to her, let alone argue with her.

As for her.

She cherished the time she spent with him.

She couldn't bear to argue with him.

Feng Tingshen closed the door casually, then looked at her and asked: "Talk about what?"

Seeing Rong Ci also spoke directly about the important matter: "Lin Wu's uncle and the others bought the villa opposite my uncle's house. They have been renovating it for a while, and it's estimated that they will move in soon."

Lin Wu's mother's surname was Sun, and her name was Sun Yueqing.

But the entanglement between the Rong family and the Sun family didn't start with Sun Yueqing and her mother, Rong Yingsheng.

It started when her grandmother and Lin Wu's grandmother were young.

They were good friends when they were young.

But Lin Wu's grandmother didn't marry well, and life was very difficult.

Her grandmother often helped her, and later their respective daughters, Sun Yueqing and Rong Yingsheng, also became good friends.

The Lin family and the Rong family were well-matched in social status.

Lin Lihai and Rong Yingsheng were in a free-love relationship, and at the beginning, their relationship was good, but all of this slowly changed after Sun Yueqing returned from university...

To let Sun Yueqing take the upper hand, Lin Wu's grandmother's family had long since torn their faces with her grandmother.

Over the years, when they occasionally met outside, the Sun family's attitude toward her uncle and grandmother was always condescending, completely lacking the sincerity and humility they had when they begged her grandmother to take them in back then.

Seeing Rong Ci believed that even if she didn't go into detail about these entanglements between the Rong, Lin, and Sun families, Feng Tingshen definitely knew about them.

Therefore, she believed that since she had said this much, he should—

Feng Tingshen indeed knew.

He also understood what Seeing Rong Ci meant.

He took out a cigarette, paused when he wanted to light it, and asked her: "Do you mind?"

Seeing Rong Ci shook her head.

While lighting the cigarette, he said: "You want me to make them move away?"

"Yes."

Feng Tingshen took a puff of the cigarette and didn't speak immediately.

This matter was especially important to her.

She could ignore other things, but not this one.

She clenched her hands into fists, her eyes reddened, and she looked at him, saying: "Just consider it me begging you; as long as you agree, any condition I will—"

Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly heard him say.

"Okay."

She was stunned.

Because she hadn't expected him to agree so readily.
