Chapter 580: Owing a Favor

When Rong Ci arrived, both Rong Laothai and Feng Laothai were already there.

Seeing Rong Ci arrive, Feng Laothai had just invited her to sit down when her phone rang.

Whatever was said on the other end made her face darken quickly; after a moment, Feng Laothai frowned and said, “Understood,” then hung up.

“It was Tingshen’s call,” Feng Laothai said apologetically to Rong Ci and Rong Laothai. “He was already on his way, but an emergency came up at the company—he won’t be able to join us for this meal.”

Upon hearing this, Rong Laothai and Rong Ci both said it was no problem.

They truly meant it—they had come only to honor Feng Laothai’s kindness, and besides, they were genuinely glad Feng LinSong had awakened.

After the meal, when the time was right, Rong Ci returned to Changmo for work.

Although Feng LinSong had awakened, Rong Ci had not visited him in the hospital since.

With Yu Moxun away, Rong Ci spent the next two days fully focused on her current tasks.

On the third day, Yu Moxun returned.

That noon, they arranged to go out for lunch and discuss upcoming work arrangements.

When they arrived at the restaurant and got out of the car, they ran into the Lin family and the Sun family.

The Lin and Sun families’ expressions turned unpleasant upon seeing them.

Yu Moxun looked and asked, “What’s wrong with them?”

He remembered that last time, when Lin Wu had gained the Feng family’s approval, they had looked smug when facing Rong Ci.

Now—

Rong Ci paused. “Maybe because Lin Wu and I haven’t divorced yet, so they’re upset.”

Yu Moxun: “Oh right. Even if Lin Wu and Tingshen are close, as long as you two haven’t divorced, she’s still the third party—she can’t officially take your place. So it’s normal they’re seething at the sight of you.”

After that, they dropped the subject and quickly changed the topic.

Rong Ci and Yu Moxun were right—the Lin and Sun families were indeed upset because Rong Ci and Tingshen had not yet divorced.

At that moment, Lin Wu arrived.

Watching them leave, Sun Liyao hurriedly asked, “Sister, how is Secretary Feng now?”

Although Feng LinSong had awakened two days ago, his many deep wounds had relapsed twice since then—though each time he recovered safely, it would still take several more days for his condition to fully stabilize.

“Tingshen said he’s much better than the past two days.”

“Then…”

Sun Liyao wanted to ask whether Tingshen had said when Lin Wu could visit the hospital to see Feng LinSong and his wife.

After all, since their accident, Lin Wu had never visited them in the hospital.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to go—she’d heard that during those days after the accident, Feng Laothai’s mental state had been terrible, and since she already disliked the two families, Lin Wu naturally wasn’t suited to show up at such a moment—

Thinking of this, Sun Liyao grew angry.

She’d heard that during those days after Feng LinSong’s accident, Rong Ci and Tingshen had grown much closer, because Rong Ci and her grandmother had been taking care of Feng Laothai, and Tingshen had become excessively courteous toward Rong Ci.

In this matter, Tingshen owed Rong Ci a favor.

Under these circumstances, even if Feng LinSong’s condition improves, it won’t be easy to immediately bring up continuing with the divorce paperwork.
