Chapter 575: Something Has Happened

Sun Yueqing and Lin Li were not particularly surprised by this news.

Sun Yueqing said softly, “If she keeps dragging out Tingshen and refuses to divorce him, she’ll likely run into trouble with Yu Moxun too. Letting go of Tingshen while holding onto Yu Moxun is her best choice.”

Lin Li agreed: “That’s right.”

Amid the tension and anticipation of the Lin and Sun families, Rong Ci and Feng Tingshen’s cooling-off period for divorce finally ended.

That day, Feng Tingshen departed on schedule for the Minzheng Bureau.

However, along the way, his phone received an incoming call.

Unknown what was said on the other end, Feng Tingshen’s expression changed sharply after answering, “Alright, I understand. I’m on my way now.”

On the other side, Rong Ci arrived at the Minzheng Bureau on time.

After waiting nearly half an hour without seeing Feng Tingshen’s figure, she frowned and called him—his line showed it was busy.

She tried calling two or three more times; all were the same.

Rong Ci pressed her lips together, her face darkening.

More than ten minutes passed; just as she was about to call Feng Tingshen again, his call came through first.

She answered, her tone cold: “I’ve waited over half an hour—why aren’t you—”

Before she could finish, Feng Tingshen interrupted: “I’m sorry. My parents are in an accident.”

Rong Ci froze.

Feng Tingshen continued: “I just notified Grandma and the others, then handled some urgent matters—I only now have a moment to call you back.”

Feng LinSong and Sang Qian were also Feng Jingxin’s grandparents, the son and daughter-in-law of Grandma Feng and Grandpa Feng. Moreover, Feng LinSong had always treated her decently. Hearing of their accident, Rong Ci immediately grew worried.

She was about to ask what had happened when Feng Tingshen gave her the brief details.

He said Feng LinSong and Sang Qian had been caught in a landslide; they had not yet been found, and their condition was unknown.

After saying this, he told Rong Ci they would reschedule the divorce registration, then hung up without waiting for her reply.

Rong Ci stared at the disconnected call, standing frozen for a long time.

When she came to, she messaged Chang Mo.

She had just returned to Chang Mo when Yu Moxun called: “Did you get the divorce certificate smoothly?”

Rong Ci: “No.”

Yu Moxun was startled: “No?”

Rong Ci told Yu Moxun about Feng LinSong and Sang Qian’s accident.

Yu Moxun fell silent, then said: “In that case, let’s wait until next time.”

“Mm.”

Such things were unavoidable.

After hanging up, Rong Ci hesitated whether to call Grandma Feng.

If Feng LinSong had truly suffered something serious, the old lady might not hold up.

But the old lady was probably already in turmoil; if Rong Ci called, she might only make her more anxious.

So after a moment’s hesitation, Rong Ci did not dial.

Time passed slowly. Rong Ci wanted to ask Feng Tingshen about Feng LinSong and Sang Qian’s current condition, but after hesitating, she did not call him—instead, she called Feng Jingxin.

If anything had truly happened to Sang Qian and her husband, Feng Tingshen would have contacted Feng Jingxin.

The moment she dialed, Feng Jingxin answered: “Mama.”

Rong Ci was about to ask where she was when Feng Jingxin volunteered: “Mama, I’m at the hospital with Dad. Grandpa and Grandma had an accident—they’re still in emergency.”
