Chapter 62

~8 min read 1,515 words

At this moment, Feng Feng Jingxin also saw Rong Ci coming out with her suitcase: "Mom?"

"Yes." Rong Ci regained her focus, closed the door, and said, "Mom still has work to attend to, so I'll be heading back first. You and Dad stay here and have a good time."

Feng Feng Jingxin nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I understand, Mom."

Rong Ci dragged her suitcase downstairs, and when she reached the bottom, she ran into Feng Feng Tingshen, who was with Lin Wu.

Seeing her dragging her suitcase and looking like she was about to leave, he only asked: "Leaving?"

Rong Ci said coldly: "Yes."

"Did you call for a car?"

"I did."

He didn't ask her to stay either, saying: "Alright."

Rong Ci then dragged her suitcase out the door, got into the car, and left.

Qi Qi Yuming woke up quite late today.

When he came down to have lunch with Feng Feng Tingshen and the others, he said to Feng Feng Tingshen: "Feng Tingshen, why don't you go back upstairs and invite her again?"

This "invite" naturally referred to inviting Rong Ci.

Feng Feng Tingshen said indifferently: "No need, she has left."

Qi Qi Yuming raised an eyebrow: "Left?"

He He Zhangbai also paused for a moment.

"Yes," Feng Feng Tingshen said: "She has matters at her company to attend to."

Qi Qi Yuming knew about Yu Yu Moxun going back on his word to hire Lin Wu because of Rong Ci, and about Rong Ci going to work at Chang Mo.

He hadn't forgotten that last night, when Feng Feng Tingshen said Rong Ci wouldn't come down to eat with them, he also said she had work to attend to.

Thinking of this, he laughed and said: "This... busy yesterday, busy today too, so busy?"

So busy, those who didn't know might think Chang Mo couldn't function without her.

But Rong Ci got in through the back door; firstly, she didn't have much ability, and secondly, she wasn't a major shareholder of Chang Mo. No matter how you looked at it, her saying she was busy was just an excuse.

It would be one thing if she made an excuse, but to make such a lousy one...

Qi Qi Yuming didn't even know what to say.

Lin Wu also understood what Qi Qi Yuming meant, and as she lowered her head to eat, she smiled silently.

Rong Ci was unaware of what Qi Qi Yuming and the others were thinking.

After leaving the hot spring villa, she headed straight for Chang Mo.

She stayed busy until dark.

After being busy for two consecutive days, just as Rong Ci was planning to go back early to rest, her uncle Rong Rong Changsheng's call came through.

Half an hour later, Rong Ci returned to the Rong family home.

Rong Rong Changsheng and his wife, as well as their two children, Rong Xun and Rong Rong Yunhe, were all at home.

Seeing her return, they greeted her one after another: "Cousin."

Rong Ci smiled: "Yes."

Rong Rong Yunhe: "Where is Miss Xin Xin? Didn't they say Miss Xin Xin had already returned to the country? Why didn't she come back to eat with you?"

"She went to soak in the hot springs and hasn't returned yet."

"Oh..."

Thinking that Feng Feng Jingxin might have gone to soak in the hot springs with Feng Feng Tingshen, Rong Rong Yunhe didn't ask further.

Before entering the door, Rong Ci paused when she saw the villa across the way.

When she went to the hot spring villa earlier, she hadn't thought to bring the keys to this villa.

If she had brought the keys, she could have started having someone clear away all the traces left by the Sun family and then redecorated...

Rong Rong Changsheng and his wife were already preparing for Old Lady Rong's birthday banquet. Calling Rong Ci back, besides hoping she could give some suggestions, was also because there was a matter that required Rong Ci to handle.

"These two invitations are for the Feng family and Feng Feng Tinglin. Xiao Ci, find some time in the next few days to send them over."

Rong Ci paused before taking them and saying: "Alright."

After dinner, she chatted with the old lady and Rong Rong Changsheng for a while, and by nine o'clock in the evening, Rong Ci prepared to leave.

Before she left, the old lady also came out to see her off, holding her hand and saying: "Those people from the Feng family, if they don't want to come, don't force them. Whether they come or not, this old woman doesn't care that much!"

Although Rong Rong Changsheng had lowered his voice and avoided her when giving the invitations to Rong Ci, she was perfectly clear about these matters in her heart.

Rong Ci said: "I will."

Old Lady Rong and Old Lady Feng were good friends.

Logically, for Old Lady Rong's birthday, Old Lady Feng would certainly attend.

It was just that Old Lady Feng was older than Old Lady Rong, and according to the customs here, when an elder celebrates a birthday, friends and relatives older than the birthday celebrant would not attend.

In the past few years, Old Lady Rong's birthday had not been celebrated on a grand scale.

It was just their family having a reunion dinner, and that was it.

And in these past few years, Feng Feng Tingshen had never once come to celebrate Old Lady Rong's birthday.

At first, when he made excuses, he said he didn't have time.

But Rong Ci knew that when he had time, even if he went out to hang out with friends, he wouldn't attend.

Even so, in past years, as the date of the old lady's birthday approached, she would still hold onto a glimmer of hope and ask him in advance if he had time that day, and if he could accompany her back to the Rong family to celebrate her grandmother's birthday.

But all she received were disappointing results.

This year, she didn't want to ask Feng Feng Tingshen again.

But this year happened to be the old lady's milestone birthday, and Rong Rong Changsheng had invited many of the Rong family's business partners. Not to mention that she and Feng Feng Tingshen were not yet officially divorced, even if they were, given the friendship between the two old ladies, the Feng family had to be invited.

As for whether the Feng family would come or not, that was their business.

Rong Ci had originally wanted to return to her own residence tonight.

Thinking of this, she turned the steering wheel and returned to Feng Feng Tingshen's villa.

After returning to that villa, Rong Ci discovered that Feng Feng Tingshen and Feng Feng Jingxin had not yet returned.

And Old Lady Feng, because she had matters to attend to, had returned to live at the old mansion for these two days.

Rong Ci put down her bag and went into the bathroom.

Half an hour later, just as she came out of the bathroom, she heard the sound of a car coming from downstairs.

If nothing unexpected happened, Feng Feng Tingshen and the others should be back.

Rong Ci thought with no fluctuation in her heart, sat down to the side, and began to blow-dry her hair.

Upon learning that Rong Ci was home, Feng Feng Jingxin ran upstairs first, rushing straight into the master bedroom and throwing herself into Rong Ci's arms: "Mom, we're back!"

She had a scent of Lin Wu's perfume on her.

Rong Ci said "Mm" without changing her expression, turned off the hairdryer, and touched her little face: "Did you take a bath?"

Feng Feng Jingxin shook her head: "Not yet."

"It's already past ten o'clock, go back to your room and take a bath first. You have school tomorrow."

As Rong Ci finished speaking, Feng Feng Tingshen also returned to the bedroom.

Their gazes met directly.

Rong Ci only glanced at him once before coldly withdrawing her gaze. At this moment, Feng Feng Jingxin tried to pull her up from the chair, saying: "Then Mom, you help me take a bath."

Rong Ci said: "Alright, let Mom finish blow-drying her hair first."

"Okay!"

Feng Feng Jingxin happily went back to her room to prepare her pajamas.

Feng Feng Tingshen looked at her, sat down on the other side, and spoke: "When did you get back?"

"Not long ago," Rong Ci said while blow-drying her hair, without looking at him.

Feng Feng Tingshen didn't ask further; he got up and went to the walk-in closet, also preparing to take a bath.

Rong Ci, however, remembered an important matter. She turned off the hairdryer, and before he entered the bathroom, she took one of the invitations out of her bag, handed it to him, and said: "My grandmother's birthday is coming up, this is the invitation for the Feng family."

When she got close to him, Rong Ci also discovered that the scent of Lin Wu's perfume on him was also very obvious.
