Chapter 578

Rong Ci also gently persuaded the old lady a few times, and eventually the old lady agreed to return and rest first.

He Zhangbai and Qi Yuming had not yet left, but when Rong Ci arrived, one had stepped out to take a call, and the other had phoned to arrange lunch to be delivered to the hospital.

They returned just as Rong Ci was persuading the old lady.

After persuading the old lady, Rong Ci saw He Zhangbai and Qi Yuming; when she noticed He Zhangbai’s gaze on her, she merely nodded to him in greeting.

When Feng Laotai went to the restroom and Feng Jingxin returned to the ward to collect her things, and they were all gone, Feng Tingshen said to Rong Ci: “I’m leaving Grandma in your care.”

Rong Ci gave a quiet “Mm.”

Then she said nothing else and went into the ward to help Feng Jingxin gather her belongings.

Qi Yuming and He Zhangbai watched their quiet exchange.

A moment later, Rong Ci helped Feng Laotai out, and together with Feng Jingxin, they left the hospital.

Watching the elevator doors slowly close, Qi Yuming turned to Feng Tingshen: “She really does care about Grandma Feng.”

Not long ago, when Feng Tingshen called Rong Ci, both he and He Zhangbai were present—they knew that after Feng Tingshen made his request, Rong Ci agreed immediately.

Now that Rong Ci had come, she showed nothing but concern for Feng Laotai; toward Feng Tingshen himself, her attitude was cold—she treated him no more than as the grandson of a close elder.

Overall, Rong Ci was quite clear about debts and grudges.

He Zhangbai said nothing, but he could feel that between Feng Tingshen and Rong Ci, there was no love—but their daily interactions were calm.

When Rong Ci and Feng Laotai returned to the Feng family’s old estate, the butler had already arranged the meal.

But Feng Laotai had no appetite and barely ate anything.

When Rong Laotai learned of Feng Linsong’s condition, she hurried over as well.

Rong Laotai and Feng Laotai were similar in age and had shared many experiences; they understood each other better.

With Rong Laotai beside her, Feng Laotai grew a little more spirited and slowly began eating a little more.

As Feng Laotai’s spirits improved, she urged Rong Ci to return to work; Rong Ci shook her head: “It’s fine, Grandma. A half-day off won’t bring the company down.”

Feng Laotai knew Rong Ci was still worried about her and wanted to be there when needed.

She knew all of it.

She gently patted Rong Ci’s hand and said no more.

The two old ladies kept each other company, while Rong Ci spent more time with Feng Jingxin.

While accompanying Feng Jingxin, Rong Ci’s phone buzzed twice.

It was a message from Feng Tingshen.

【How is Grandma now?】

Rong Ci glanced at Feng Jingxin, picked up her phone, and replied: 【My grandmother came. She’s feeling better now.】

Feng Tingshen: 【Thank you.】

Rong Ci: 【No need.】

He came to be with Grandma Feng—not because of him.

This point, even though Rong Ci never said it outright, Feng Tingshen naturally understood.

They did not speak further.

Besides, now was not the time to discuss matters between them.

Rong Ci put down her phone.

That night, Rong Ci and Rong Laotai both ate dinner at the Feng family’s old estate.

There was still no news from the hospital.

Soon after they finished eating, Feng Tinglin arrived to take over, and Feng Tingshen returned.

Seeing Rong Laotai, he politely greeted her.

It was late, and Rong Laotai was preparing to leave; as for Rong Ci…
