When Rong Ci heard that it was Lin Wu who answered the phone, she wasn't surprised.
After all, Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu had become so intimate that they shared everything.
So what if Lin Wu answered Feng Tingshen's phone?
She said calmly, "I'm looking for Feng Tingshen."
Lin Wu also knew who was on the other end of the line.
She coldly replied, "He's taking a bath. You can tell me if you have anything."
Tell her?
This matter was indeed related to her.
Today, the person her uncle saw in the community was indeed Lin Wu's aunt. However, the person who bought that villa was likely Lin Lihai.
He might have bought the villa to show respect to Lin Wu's grandmother, his current mother - in - law.
So, if she really told Lin Wu about it, would Lin Wu ask her grandmother and uncle's family not to move into that villa?
No, she wouldn't.
Moreover, she didn't believe that Lin Wu was unaware that her uncle's family was going to move across from her uncle's villa.
So, if she told Lin Wu about this, it would not only be useless but also counterproductive.
Rong Ci didn't say anything and directly hung up the phone.
More than an hour passed, and she still hadn't received a call back from Feng Tingshen.
She didn't know if Lin Wu hadn't informed him that she had called, or if he actually didn't want to call her back.
For her, it made no difference anymore.
She calmly dialed his number again.
However, at this time, Feng Tingshen's phone was turned off and couldn't be reached.
Rong Ci tightened her grip on the phone.
After a while, she calmed down and called the housekeeper at Feng Tingshen's place, asking, "Are they home now?"
The housekeeper replied, "No. What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
That night, Rong Ci didn't sleep well.
The next day, after nine o'clock, she called Feng Tingshen again.
This time, the call went through.
But it was immediately hung up.
Rong Ci didn't know if it was Lin Wu or Feng Tingshen who hung up the phone.
She didn't want to delve into it.
She picked up her phone and bag and went out.
Not long after, she returned to Feng Tingshen's villa.
The housekeeper was very happy and said, "Madam, you're back?"
Rong Ci replied, "Yes."
"Will Madam have lunch at home? I'll have someone cook for you."
"Okay. Thank you for the trouble."
Rong Ci went upstairs. When she reached the second floor, she paused and then entered the master bedroom.
She put down her bag and sat down on the edge of the bed.
The master bedroom was still the same, nothing had changed. However, the skin - care products she had taken there when she stayed to accompany Feng Jingxin before had all been put back here.
Not only that, the clothes she had changed before had also been put back in the cloakroom here, hanging closely beside Feng Tingshen's clothes.
Everything seemed as if she had never left.
She didn't call Feng Tingshen again.
Feng Tingshen also never called her back.
She had dinner alone.
Actually, she had thought about asking Mrs. Feng for help.
But if she alerted the old lady, things would be even more difficult to resolve.
Moreover, although Feng Tingshen respected the old lady, whether he listened to her or not was entirely up to him.
After dinner, she opened her computer and continued to work on her own affairs.
As the night grew deeper, just when she thought that Feng Tingshen and Feng Jingxin wouldn't come back that night, the sound of a car finally came from outside.
When Feng Jingxin got out of the car, she saw Rong Ci's car and said to Feng Tingshen, "Hey, it's Mom's car. Dad, Mom is at home!"
"Yeah."
Feng Tingshen looked at Rong Ci's car and entered the house with Feng Jingxin.
Feng Jingxin asked the housekeeper who came out to greet them, "Where's my mom?"
"Madam is upstairs."
"Okay!"
Feng Jingxin happily ran upstairs.
Rong Ci had just turned off her computer, packed up her things, and just walked out of the master bedroom when Feng Jingxin rushed into her arms and hugged her, saying, "Mom!"
"Yeah." Rong Ci just stroked the top of her hair and didn't hug her back.
Feng Jingxin didn't notice and happily talked to Rong Ci. At this time, Feng Tingshen also came upstairs. When Rong Ci heard the footsteps and looked over, their eyes just met.
Feng Tingshen's face was expressionless, and Rong Ci's expression was relatively calm. She said to Feng Jingxin, who was talking to her, "Ask Aunt Liu to help you take a bath. Mom wants to talk to Dad."
Hearing this, Feng Tingshen stopped.
Feng Jingxin had been out playing for two days and was in a particularly good mood. Although she was not happy when she heard Rong Ci say this, she didn't say much and went back to her room to let Aunt Liu wash her hair and take a bath.
Rong Ci looked at Feng Tingshen, who was leaning casually against the wall, holding his phone and seemingly busy with something, and said, "Shall we talk in the room?"
"Yeah."
Rong Ci entered the room first. When Feng Tingshen entered, she said, "Close the door."
She was afraid that if they had an argument later, it would startle Feng Jingxin.
Come to think of it, although they had been married for many years and their relationship was not good, they had never quarreled.
Feng Tingshen didn't even bother to pay attention to her, let alone quarrel with her.
As for her, she cherished every moment she spent with him.
She couldn't bear to quarrel with him.
Feng Tingshen casually closed the door and then looked at her, asking, "What do you want to talk about?"
Rong Ci also directly got to the point: "Lin Wu's uncle and his family bought the villa across from my uncle's house. They have been renovating it for some time. I guess they will move in soon."
Lin Wu's mother's surname was Sun, and her name was Sun Yueqing.
However, the feud between the Rong family and the Sun family didn't start when Sun Yueqing and her mother, Rong Yingsheng, were around.
It started when her grandmother and Lin Wu's grandmother were young.
They were good friends when they were young.
But Lin Wu's grandmother married poorly and had a very difficult life.
Her grandmother often helped her. Later, their respective granddaughters, that is, Sun Yueqing and Rong Yingsheng, also became good friends.
The Lin family and the Rong family were well - matched.
Lin Lihai and Rong Yingsheng were in a free - love relationship, and their relationship was good at first. But all this gradually changed after Sun Yueqing graduated from college and came back...
In order to let Sun Yueqing take the position, Lin Wu's grandmother's family had already completely fallen out with her grandmother.
Over the years, whenever they met outside occasionally, the Sun family's attitude towards her uncle and grandmother was condescending, without the slightest sincerity and humility they had when they begged her grandmother for shelter back then.
Even if she didn't go into details about the feuds among the Rong, Lin, and Sun families now, she believed that Feng Tingshen surely knew about them.
So, she believed that since she had said this much, he should—
Feng Tingshen indeed knew.
He also understood what Rong Ci meant.
He took out a cigarette. When he was about to light it, he paused and asked her, "Do you mind?"
Rong Ci shook her head.
As he lit the cigarette, he said, "You want me to make them move away?"
"Yes."
Feng Tingshen took a puff of the cigarette and didn't speak immediately.
This matter was extremely important to her.
She could ignore other things, but not this one.
She clenched her fists, her eyes reddened, and looking at him, she said, "Just consider it as me begging you. As long as you agree, I'll agree to any condition—"
Before she could finish her words, she suddenly heard him say,
"Okay."
She was stunned.
Because she didn't expect him to agree so readily.
