When Feng's Father brought Liang Rongrong home, Huang Jie was abroad with her husband on a business trip, but that didn't stop her from gossiping about it later.
Eldest Aunt Shi was particularly annoyed with Feng's Father. When chatting with her sisters-in-law, she would occasionally bring up what a scoundrel Feng's Father was.
It wasn't just outsiders who suspected Liang Rongrong was Feng's Father's illegitimate child; even Feng's Mother had her doubts.
But for the sake of her son, she couldn't divorce her husband, and had to swallow this bitter pill alone.
Even without Eldest Aunt Shi, it didn't prevent Shi Li from hearing others gossip about Feng's Father and the girl he brought home. Everyone suspected she was Feng's Father's illegitimate daughter.
Otherwise, why would he suddenly bring a child home without explaining her identity, only saying he wanted to adopt her as his daughter? It didn't make sense.
Huang Jie, as a married woman herself, felt sorry for Feng's Mother when she saw the alleged illegitimate daughter following her.
Feng's Mother didn't need to say anything; Huang Jie knew it must have been that dog Feng's Father who told her to bring the adopted daughter along. Otherwise, why would Feng's Mother bring something to upset herself on her own birthday celebration?
Huang Jie cursed under her breath. It wasn't uncommon for rich families to have illegitimate children, but it was rare to bring them in front of the legal wife and ask her to raise them.
It was too insulting.
Liang Rongrong noticed the slight pause in the movements of those around her. She turned her head, her gaze questioning if something was amiss.
Feng Yunhe's eyes were deep and unreadable. He didn't respond to Liang Rongrong, his gaze seeming to drift towards where Shi Li was standing.
[Though Liang Rongrong isn't her husband's illegitimate daughter, her identity isn't much better. She's the daughter of Feng's Father's first love, with no relation to him, yet he's willing to play daddy]
[If this isn't love, then what is?]
[He really makes me want to cry]
Feng Yunhe calmly took the wine glass from his mother's hand, "Alcohol isn't good for your health, Mother. You should drink juice instead."
The lady opposite Feng's Mother joked that she had such a filial son. Hearing her precious son being praised, the faint smile on Feng's Mother's face deepened.
She always praised her son generously. She nodded, "He is indeed very thoughtful. He has to go to school Monday to Friday, spend his spare time at the company, and still make time to visit me at the nursing home. He's really been working hard lately."
After praising Feng Yunhe for being sensible, the lady inevitably brought up Wei Xing as a contrast. "You might not know, but the younger son of the Wei Family's twins dropped out of school recently. He said he wants to inherit the family business and has already started working at their company."
Twins are considered auspicious, and it's rare for any family to have them, regardless of their background.
So when the lady mentioned twins, Feng's Mother immediately knew who she was referring to.
She was a bit surprised, "How old is he to be dropping out of school and going home?"
The lady opposite raised her eyebrows, "He should be the same age as your Yunhe."
The lady's intention in bringing up this topic was to praise Feng Yunhe, using Wei Xing as a comparison. "Your Yunhe is really exceptional. They're both helping at their family companies, but their boy had to drop out of school. Our Yunhe can manage both school and work at the same time. He's truly remarkable."
Although Feng's Mother was pleased to hear her son being praised, she was most concerned about Wei Xing at the moment. "So the Wei Family's younger son isn't going to school anymore?"
The disbelief in Feng's Mother's voice was palpable. The lady's tone was mocking, "That's right. He's already dropped out and officially started working at the company."
She covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, "But you know, I heard that this boy hasn't been behaving well since he entered the company. Well, we'll just have to wait and see."
She made an expression of waiting to see how the situation would unfold.
Feng's Mother was softhearted, unlike others who enjoyed watching drama unfold. She shook her head disapprovingly, "How could the parents not try to stop him? This is a matter that affects the child's entire life."
"Who knows what they're thinking?" It's better if they don't intervene, so we can watch the show.
As Feng's Mother was engrossed in conversation with the lady opposite, Liang Rongrong took the initiative to pass her a plate of pastries. "Godmother, have some snacks to tide you over."
Feng's Mother was a well-mannered woman. Even though she greatly disliked Liang Rongrong, she only slightly furrowed her brow.
Feng Yunhe suddenly spoke up, "Don't you have a scene to film this afternoon? Shouldn't you be leaving now?"
Liang Rongrong checked the time and smiled brightly at Feng Yunhe, "Oh, there's no rush. It's Godmother's birthday today, I want to stay at home and keep her company a bit longer."
Feng's Mother inwardly wished she would leave soon, but didn't make any move to hurry her along. She just stared at the flowers in the vase without saying a word.
It was Feng Yunhe who spoke again, "You're the lead actress after all. It's better to arrive early, or you might affect the filming schedule for others."
Feng Yunhe had spoken to her several times today, which was unusual. Although she didn't understand why, Liang Rongrong felt this was a good start, and his words seemed to show concern for her.
Liang Rongrong happily agreed, "You're right, Brother. I'll go now."
She then apologized to Feng's Mother, "I'm sorry, Godmother. I have to leave now, but I'll make it up to you another time."
The annoying person was leaving, and Feng's Mother was delighted, though she only nodded reservedly and said, "Alright."
[Haha, hilarious! Your godmother would be more comfortable if you didn't come]
[They're all reluctant relatives. No need to talk about making it up, it's best if you don't come at all]
