Chapter 830: Trouble Always Visits a Widow
As dusk approached, Southern City Hospital welcomed an extraordinary patient.
How should I put it?
This patient was truly in a pitiful state, with who knows how many bones broken.
Moreover, all his internal organs were damaged and bleeding to varying degrees, and his muscles and veins were in a complete mess.
Yet he still managed to cling to life, hanging on just enough to be brought to the hospital for rescue, which was nothing short of a miracle.
Jiang Feng directly tossed Jing Wuming into the intensive surgery room, paid part of his surgery costs, and then left on his own.
Whether Jing Wuming lived or died, whether he could be rescued or not, depended on his own fate; in any case, Jiang Feng had done all he could.
Afterwards, Jiang Feng returned to Fengming.
At this time, in Fengming Company, only Nangong Qingcheng, Chu Feifei, Liu Shiyuan, and Zhang Qinyao were present, along with Heizi; Bai Zhiqing had long been absent.
According to Nangong Qingcheng, after Jiang Feng went to confront Han Xudong, Bai Zhiqing soon took a leave of absence with Nangong Qingcheng.
Not for anything else, but after experiencing such an event, anyone needed to calm down and soothe their emotions.
Especially Bai Zhiqing, who was most concerned about her image; she needed to adjust well.
"Jiang Feng, why don't you go see Sister Zhiqing? We've tried to console her all afternoon, but she can't let it go. Maybe your words would be more effective," Nangong Qingcheng said helplessly to Jiang Feng.
Not unless absolutely necessary, she didn't hope her husband would comfort another woman alone.
But Bai Zhiqing was in such a bad state now, and being Nangong Qingcheng's earliest friend and sister, Nangong Qingcheng didn't want her to become despondent because of it.
"Yeah, Uncle, we're all girls and younger than Sister Zhiqing; in front of us, she surely wouldn't want to show her vulnerable side, but you can certainly comfort her better and help her see things clearly."
Chu Feifei also said to Jiang Feng.
Who wouldn't feel sympathy for Bai Zhiqing after such an event?
Jiang Feng thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll go see her."
...
At this time, at Bai Zhiqing's home in Lijing District.
The evening glow from the horizon had already quietly seeped indoors, making it suddenly look a bit overcast, emitting a dim gray light.
In the living room, Bai Zhiqing, freshly bathed, sat on the sofa without turning on the lights, silently lost in thought.
She curled her body into a ball, hugging a square cushion, her delicate chin resting lightly on it.
Her pair of long, white legs extended from the loose bathrobe's hem, with her flawless lotus feet slightly overlapping. Her toenails, like pink flower petals under the evening glow, emanated a misty, enchanting luster, extremely enticing!
Her snow-white, slender neck, combined with a glimpse of moon-white emerging from the low neckline of her bathrobe, formed a picture of absolute beauty that drove men mad and made women envious!
Although she had been through a nominal marriage, and wasn't in the prime youth like Nangong Qingcheng and them anymore, the few extra years had not worn down Bai Zhiqing's beauty but rather added a touch of mature charm.
She was like a ripe peach, luscious and radiantly beautiful!
Perhaps from staying in one position for too long, Bai Zhiqing slightly moved her delicate body, uttering an enticing moan, followed by a light sigh that was puzzling, indicating she had an unfathomable thought at that moment.
The saying "Widow's doorsteps are prone to trouble..."
This phrase carried too many meanings, and Bai Zhiqing thought that with time, she could gradually forget this bitterness.
She hoped to genuinely become carefree and live happily like those few girlfriends.
But today's incident once again deeply stirred her, making her realize she was still different from Nangong Qingcheng and the others.
Her pristine and pure body had long been marked with the brand of shame, and even maintaining nominal purity was incredibly difficult, let alone preserving chastity.
Thinking of her heart's sorrow, Bai Zhiqing's eyes slightly reddened.
Luckily, she wasn't without a man to protect her now.
That man was Jiang Feng, who haunted her dreams!
When Jiang Feng had Nangong Qingcheng hand her the phone that afternoon and personally told her that the ill-intentioned Han Xudong had been punished and her purity restored to the greatest extent, she was touched.
In that moment, her heart was happy.
However, that happiness was very fleeting for her, something she couldn't seek.
She had fallen in love with Jiang Feng from a long time ago, willing to entrust her life's heart and soul to him.
Unfortunately, the falling flowers were intentional, but the flowing water was merciless.
Jiang Feng never cherished her day and night the way she did him.
He only showed concern and care during specific times or when things happened to her.
Even if these were the only moments, Bai Zhiqing still felt satisfied, though she couldn't help but feel a certain unspeakable sadness when alone.
She actually didn't ask for much, nor did she desire any title; she only wished to quietly be a little woman by Jiang Feng's side, content for life.
But Jiang Feng never gave any similar hints.
Now, she couldn't even figure out what Jiang Feng truly thought.
Did he actually have any fondness, love, or even the slightest affection for her?
Perhaps, all along, it was just her self-delusion; to him, she was simply an ordinary friend and sister?
Unknowingly, tears blurred her eyes.
Just then, a knock on the door suddenly startled Bai Zhiqing out of her profound solitude.
Startled, she came back to her senses, realizing that it had already grown dark outside.
The darkness enveloping the living room also mysteriously filled her with fear, her whole body tensing.
"Who is it?" she asked, pretending to be brave, her voice suppressing a tremble.
"Sister Bai, it's me."
Outside came the voice she day and night longed to hear, yet it suddenly felt like a hallucination to her.
"Xiao... Xiao Feng?" Bai Zhiqing asked with uncertainty, her tone tinged with hesitation.
"Yes, open the door," Jiang Feng's tone was just as familiar, speaking warmly.
For some reason, confirming Jiang Feng's voice alone caused Bai Zhiqing's tears to overflow, her entire being emotionally overwhelmed.
If she hadn't bitten her lip tightly, she almost might have sobbed aloud.
"Okay, Xiao Feng, wait a moment!"
Bai Zhiqing forcibly controlled her tone, finished speaking, and hurriedly jumped off the sofa.
The urgent movement swayed her body, creating a stir within the loose bathrobe, which made Bai Zhiqing realize that her current appearance was somewhat inappropriate.
But she couldn't care about that; afraid Jiang Feng outside would leave if he couldn't wait, she quickly turned on the light and rushed to open the door, barefoot!
