Du Ruoxin was discharged from the hospital. When she expressed her desire to leave, Kristino asked no questions and said nothing, promptly handling the discharge procedures and taking her back to the villa.
For all intents and purposes, he should no longer allow Rong Jianchen and his wife to appear in front of Du Ruoxin whenever they pleased.
Therefore, he increased the number of bodyguards at the villa's main entrance.
Feng Linwan: "————"
This young man was truly asking for a beating!
Even when she invoked Rong Doudou's name, she couldn't get past the gate. The bodyguards only allowed Rong Doudou to enter alone, warning that bullets had no eyes if she tried to force her way in.
Feng Linwan was furious.
But there was nothing she could do. Her son and daughter-in-law's divorce was a done deal, and she had to accept it whether she liked it or not.
Rong Doudou tried to use crying and making a scene to threaten her grandmother into letting her in, but the bodyguards were unyielding, executing their orders as given.
This tactic was useless.
Feng Linwan had no choice but to coax her granddaughter kindly, asking her to go in alone.
Alas!
After sending Du Ruoxin a message, her mood soured. With regret and reluctance, she returned to their home country with her husband.
This time, Feng Linwan did not cry, but her low spirits made Rong Jianchen keenly aware of his wife's deep melancholy and unhappiness.
Perhaps…
This matter would cast a long shadow over the Rong family for a very, very long time.
Rong Jianchen could only comfort her, "Children and grandchildren have their own destinies; worrying about them is useless."
Feng Linwan leaned her head on her husband's shoulder and said listlessly, "I understand the道理."
But the sadness was uncontrollable.
Rong Jianchen embraced his wife, his voice hoarse, "Don't worry, after this incident, Jingyang knows his own heart. He will fight for the woman he wants."
Feng Linwan's large eyes blinked in confusion, "Hmm?"
Rong Jianchen's expression was stern, "How could a Rong family man let go of the woman he desires?"
Feng Linwan: "……"
The unpleasant encounter with her husband in her youth, and the suffering she endured after he took a liking to her, flashed through her mind.
Those pains—
It was as if they were etched into her bones, and every recollection felt like being flayed alive.
Her breath suddenly caught.
Feng Linwan curled her fingernails and pinched her husband fiercely, "Hmph! How dare you say that! If your son is as much of a scoundrel as you are, things will only get worse!!!!"
Rong Jianchen endured his wife's petty temper, took her other hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed it, then said with a sly smile, "My dear Mrs. Rong, do you love this scoundrel of a man to death?"
Feng Linwan was no longer sad and began to bicker with her husband, "Pah! Who loves whom to death? It was clearly your schemes and all sorts of ruses, and if it weren't for… mmm…"
The man gave her no chance to speak further, sealing her lips with a kiss.
…
The plane landed in E City.
To distract herself and prevent herself from sinking into sadness, Feng Linwan began to keep herself busy.
She trimmed flowers and plants, picked fruits, and removed pests.
She was incredibly busy every day.
One day, after taking several beautiful home-style photos with her camera, she was loading the film when she saw an unfamiliar reel.
Who put it there?
What was filmed?
Driven by curiosity, Feng Linwan opened the reel.
When she saw the footage playing, which showed Du Ruoxin, Rong Jingyang, and Rong Doudou playing an electric conductivity game, her eyes gradually welled up.
On the big screen, Rong Jingyang and Du Ruoxin were making all sorts of funny faces to amuse Rong Doudou.
What a happy, what a warm family they were.
Feng Linwan knew without thinking that this was a game invented by Du Ruoxin, and it was rare for Rong Jingyang to cooperate so well.
Not only did he cooperate diligently, but he also wore an expression of blissful contentment, enjoying the joy of family.
"The son likes Ruoxin."
Feng Linwan was certain.
It was just that Rong Jingyang was slow to realize and hadn't fully recognized his own feelings.
These Rong family men…
Feng Linwan sighed inwardly, when suddenly, a hand reached out before her eyes.
"Mommy." Rong Jingyang took out a tissue to wipe his mother's tears.
He had also seen the footage playing on the screen, and a hint of bitterness welled up in his throat.
"Jingyang?" Feng Linwan asked in surprise, "Why are you back? Weren't you in America?"
Didn't her son want to win Ruoxin's favor again? Why was he back here instead of staying abroad to be with her?
Was he just saying it and lying to her?
