Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me-Chapter 546: V420: Eternal Flower... (Forgot to add the Chapter number earlier, this - follows in sequence.)
For a moment.
The Feng Family was at a loss on how to face such a scene.
How... did it turn into such a sobbing mess? And even the little nurse, Doctor Qiu, were crying too?
Amid the trembling air, they seemed to guess something, yet emotionally, they were reluctant to believe it.
Feng Jingguo and Ye Xilan’s faces stiffened awkwardly, unable to face such a state.
On Valentine’s Day, although at their age they didn’t celebrate such youthful holidays, picking such a day for these two to part ways seemed... a bit off.
Feng Jingguo and Ye Xilan remained silent.
Behind them, Feng Yuxi, who had just arrived, was infuriated upon seeing the scene in front of him.
At this moment, he ignored his mother Li Zhi’s gentle tug, "Hey, Yuxi, what are you doing? Don’t go over there, your grandpa will be angry."
He fished out a packet of tissues from his pocket and, ignoring his mother’s hand, walked over to the bedside.
He hesitated, unsure of what to say, and simply handed the tissues to Gu Zixuan’s face, softly saying, "Don’t cry, Zi..."
He paused, then corrected himself, "Stepmom, if you keep crying like this, uncle will be sad, it will break his heart."
The resolute term "Stepmom" instantly froze Li Zhi’s face outside the door.
Feng Jingguo and Ye Xilan’s expressions stiffened as well.
Feng Chengxuan and Feng Chengjie felt that was alright, after all...
They each quietly glanced at their parents, then glanced at Li Zhi with resentment, and continued to look inside.
By the bedside, Gu Zixuan was deeply moved upon hearing these words.
All these days...
It’s been eleven days since Feng Chengjin’s incident, where she was kept outside that door forcibly. During these days, the Feng Family hated her so much that they were stingy even with the news of Feng Chengjin’s wellbeing. Those who didn’t hate her showed only shallow unspeakableness in their eyes, fearful of angering Feng Jingguo, made it very clear to her just how much she had harmed the Feng Family, and to what level.
So, Feng Yuxi’s slight "Stepmom" was by no means ordinary comfort, but it was an affirmation, a blessing for the conclusion of her relationship with Feng Chengjin...
The tears kept flowing, eventually surging.
However, Gu Zixuan did not continue to fantasize because of these words, what was there left to fantasize about? She almost owed three lives...
Thus, amidst the subtle ripples in her heart, she didn’t cry for too long, taking the tissues from Feng Yuxi and drying her tears.
Then quietly looking towards Feng Chengjin.
She adjusted the corner of his back, smoothed out the hospital gown, and finally, gently stroked his hair.
She opened the bag she had brought, took out a box, and placed it by Feng Chengjin’s pillow.
She looked at it repeatedly with lingering reluctance.
Then she directly walked towards Feng Jingguo and Ye Xilan.
She opened the bag again, handing over a pocket full of various properties, deeds, certificates, a list of items, savings books, and several keys.
She calmly said, "This is all the assets our Gu Family has in Rong City. I know compensating with just the former Yunfeng Company is not enough, but this really is all we have. Our whole family has kept just under five hundred thousand for living expenses. My father, Gu Qingfeng, has also submitted his resignation to the party organization; my uncle Qiu Zhai, and uncle Song An have also filed applications to transfer out of Rong Province with various departments. Our family will be moving shortly. I came today, indeed, to see him one last time, and I also wanted to tell you that I will not disturb your Feng Family anymore, I will leave cleanly. I don’t want to comment on the rights and wrongs of past events, but I will bear all the consequences, except one thing..."
Gu Zixuan’s eyelashes trembled as she looked back at Feng Chengjin, "Don’t tell him I was here..."
With that said, Gu Zixuan turned around, leaving along the safety passage she came from.
Her simple and clean silhouette left everyone rooted to the spot in surprise.
Everything... all compensated?
The entire family... only left with under five hundred thousand?
In an instant, the whole family couldn’t describe their complex emotions, five hundred thousand might still be considerable for a commoner, but for a once-prominent family that stood proudly in Rong City, the houses compensated, the deeds compensated, the savings compensated, the family background compensated, what could their family do with five hundred thousand?
Eat or drink? Rent or live?
Moreover, there is also Gu Qingfeng himself, having held the high position of vice governor of Rongcheng Province, temporarily suspended, even upon restoration of his position, he would still hold a significant level of authority...
In a flash, no one could describe the tremor in their hearts at this moment.
Watching Gu Zixuan, who had practically bankrupted her entire family, one had never felt so saddened by the outburst of overwhelming sorrow from her seemingly frail body.
Moreover, even like this.
She still did not show a hint of vulnerability, her steps upon leaving were calm and composed.
Just like as seen on normal days, clear and shallow, neither humble nor pushy, as if the person with nothing left was not her.
She is still that top socialite of Rong City, Gu Zixuan, neither arrogant in glory nor downcast in defeat.
Gu Zixuan has left.
Pushing open the pedestrian passage door, she didn’t even glance back, just left as gracefully as ever.
For a moment, the first to be unable to hold back was Feng Chengxuan, glancing at the passage, then at Feng Jingguo, "Father!"
Feng Chengxuan didn’t say anything, but Feng Jingguo understood.
Especially since he has known Gu Qingfeng for half a lifetime and has harbored some grudges for just as long, this weighed heavily on his hands was Gu Qingfeng’s estate, and a copy of Gu Qingfeng’s resignation report...
His lips trembled.
But at this moment, to tell him to say, ’Go and bring the third one back,’ he couldn’t do it.
He hesitated, and Feng Chengjie looked and, unable to bear it, said, "Father~~~"
In an instant, Feng Jingguo’s heart trembled even more, unable to speak.
Later, Feng Yushan, who dared to offend anyone but him on normal days, cautiously tugged on the hem of his patient gown, "Grandpa... little uncle really likes her..."
His brows quivered even more.
But there was nothing that could be done. Everyone present knew the whole matter, the greatest obstacle was what, Feng Jingguo’s health, Feng Jingguo’s illness...
Four years ago, the Feng Family had already collectively mourned once, four years later, if for a woman, they anger another one to death alive, who among them could do such a thing?
Feng Jingguo kept hesitating, trembling.
Finally, unable to hold back, Feng Yuxi came out holding the box left by Gu Zixuan beside Feng Chengjin’s pillow.
He lifted the lid and shouted at Feng Jingguo: "Great-grandfather has been dead for four years! At that great age, already ninety-three! Some things like life and death are natural, even if that incident didn’t happen back then, it’s unlikely he would have lived to today! Little uncle hasn’t been able to let go for eight years, do you expect him to let go after this incident? Look at what she left behind! Does it hurt? Does it not trouble your conscience? Don’t you want to understand why she tormented little uncle those days? Do you still blame her for not being good enough to your son? If today you drive away one, after little uncle wakes up, sees these, do you wish to push him to death?"
Feng Yuxi was yelling in anger.
In an instant, the gaze of everyone in the Feng Family fell on the box.
It was a small but extremely delicate and beautiful blue paper box, small enough to be cupped in a palm.
On the side of the box, sure enough, similar to here at Feng Jingguo’s, was a small sealable bag attached to the box wall, containing various bank cards, car keys, house keys, a bill of expenses, and a savings book.
And besides these, was the item at the center of the box.
At the center, was a white preserved rose.
Amidst the baby’s breath embellishment, beautiful yet noble, but it looked exceedingly like a love completely commemorated.
But what broke their hearts and saddened them more was a paragraph left on the lid of the box.
"Sunshine no longer exists in my world, sorry, Feng Chengjin, I do not want forgiveness, let’s break up. Let’s part ways, do not remember..."
In an instant, not only Feng Jingguo, even the passersby who were watching the drama, who pieced together the incident, couldn’t help but have trembling eyes.
After pondering for two seconds, Feng Jingguo no longer wished to say anything.
He just lifted his somewhat trembling, feeble hands from recent days, closing his eyes, and said helplessly in compromise, "Go... go find."
In a moment, whether others understood the significance of Feng Jingguo’s words or not,
but for the entire Feng Family, they understood too well the significance of father saying these words. Especially Feng Chengxuan and Feng Chengjie who had weathered storms on marriage issues, they knew all too well how many years they had to wait for a compromise from dad on marriage issues!
At this moment.
These people no longer waited, said, "Thank you, dad."
Before heading downstairs with quivering eyes, holding onto excitement collectively.
...
However, the process of going downstairs didn’t actually take more than two minutes.
With Gu Zixuan’s pace, they all thought she wouldn’t walk too fast, at most, she’d be at Huaping if quick.
As a result, back and forth, left and right, even upstairs and downstairs, at the courtyard gate—they searched everywhere, yet saw no sign of her.
What’s more despairing was that as time went by, agonizingly, over half an hour was wasted, and still, they couldn’t find Gu Zixuan.
In desperation, they finally checked the hospital’s surveillance.
It was then they discovered, as Gu Zixuan went downstairs, she encountered Gu Zixi waiting.
Gu Zixi looked at his sister, gave a bitter and helpless smile, and helped her into the car.
The car almost left without pause, like a pre-planned farewell, that car was new, without plates...
