Chapter 560: Discussing the Marriage

Immediately after, Yu Moxun’s message came through.

【So, Madam Feng has also agreed to their relationship? This… can’t be right. Or did Feng Tingshen deliberately arrange this meeting to win her approval?】

Rong Ci didn’t know.

But whichever truth it was didn’t matter.

What mattered was Feng Tingshen’s determination to bring Lin Wu into his family.

Even if Madam Feng disagreed, it couldn’t shake his resolve.

Clearly, Yu Moxun had come to the same conclusion: 【Now it’s Secretary Feng and his Lady, now it’s Madam Feng—Feng Tingshen has gone to extraordinary lengths to make them accept Lin Wu!】

Feng Jingxin still remembered the time Feng Tingshen and Rong Ci went out together.

The next morning, as soon as she finished washing up, she eagerly reached for her phone to call Feng Tingshen—but his call came in first: “Awake? Dad sent someone to pick you up. We’re going out later.”

Feng Jingxin’s eyes lit up: “Go out? Where to?”

She immediately thought of something and asked: “Just me? Isn’t Mom coming too?”

Feng Tingshen: “Mm. Your mom is busy.”

Feng Jingxin: “...Alright.”

When Feng Jingxin put down her phone, Rong Ci came upstairs. Feng Jingxin said: “Mom, Dad just called to say someone’s coming to pick me up. He also said you’re too busy to come with us. Mom, what are you even busy with?”

Rong Ci did have something to do today.

But she hadn’t discussed it with Feng Tingshen.

Since Feng Jingxin asked, she replied: “I’m going to the hospital to visit your grandmother later, and then I’m meeting a friend to buy something important.”

“...Oh.”

After breakfast, Feng Jingxin was picked up by the people Feng Tingshen had sent.

Rong Xun and the others noticed that since Lin Wu saved Feng Tingshen a while back, he hadn’t shown up at the Rong household at all—even though he used to come frequently…

Feng Tingshen’s current behavior felt like he was deliberately avoiding suspicion.

After Feng Jingxin left, Rong Ci went to the hospital to visit Rong Yingsheng.

Rong Yingsheng’s condition remained unchanged: still thin, still mad, still hollow.

When she told Feng Jingxin she’d be meeting a friend to buy something important later, she wasn’t lying.

That night, she truly planned to accompany Yu Moxun to an auction to pick out a birthday gift for Madame Yu.

But they hadn’t been inside long before they spotted the Lin family and the Sun family.

News that Lin Wu had saved Feng Tingshen, and that the Lin and Sun families had already met the Fengs and were now negotiating a marriage, had spread through the circles.

So when they arrived, they saw many wealthy ladies from the circles treating the Lin and Sun families with great warmth.

Lin Wu was there that night too.

She appeared modestly dressed, but many recognized her gown and bracelet as extremely valuable.

When others approached to chat, she smiled with calm composure, showing not a trace of surprise or flattery.

Rong Ci and Yu Moxun watched, still silent, when two more people arrived.

Seeing them, Yu Moxun immediately sneered: “Bad luck! If I’d known it’d be this crowded tonight, I wouldn’t have come!”

Rong Ci merely smiled faintly at that, saying nothing.

The newcomers were none other than Ren Ji and his friend Yao Xinbo—people she hadn’t seen in a while.

Since Lin Wu was discharged from the hospital after her injury, Ren Ji had been desperate to see her—but never got the chance.

Now that he saw her, his eyes lit up, and he walked straight toward her.
