Chapter 866 866: Nangong Qingcheng Is Sick!
When Jiang Feng returned to Binhai from the Provincial City, it was again afternoon, nearing dusk.
The events at the Qi Family mansion couldn't be kept under wraps; they had already spread before he returned.
Family Head Qi Xingchun and his daughter Qi Mengge had disappeared mysteriously, whereabouts unknown!
And those small Mercenary Groups, bodyguards, thugs invited by Qi Xingchun, as well as the Ancient Martial experts and Tributors responsible for guarding the mansion, all vanished without a trace, evaporating into thin air!
This was very bizarre!
After all, the Qi Family was the fourth family in the Provincial City, and this happened on Qi Xingchun's birthday, so its impact was naturally far greater than the previous "disappearance" of Huangfu Qingzhi, truly earth-shaking!
Many guests mentioned that before they were driven out from the mansion, a young man brought a man in a mask to openly deliver a wreath to Qi Xingchun, which caused conflict and led to the banquet being interrupted.
But what happened after that, they had no idea.
When the Qi Family mansion reopened, people who inquired the other family members found them tight-lipped, avoiding the topic, behaving as if brainwashed, refusing to acknowledge the event of the day.
Upon closer reflection, this was terrifying!
Thus, many people blamed everything that happened on that young man who caused trouble, believing he was the instigator of the current situation at the Qi Family!
Unfortunately, because Jiang Feng did not reveal his name when he showed up, only calling himself a "passerby".
Qi Mengge and Qi Xingchun, on the podium at that time, having identified Jiang Feng's identity, spoke too quietly for many to hear.
Therefore, Jiang Feng's identity remains a mystery, existing only in the memories of those guests, with no one able to identify him.
Moreover, as the story was retold through the mouths of thousands, it strayed further and further from the truth, gradually deviating from Jiang Feng's actual appearance.
Jiang Feng, naturally uninterested in the fermenting of this incident, prepared to head home as if nothing had happened.
He knew today the four women certainly weren't idle either, especially Chu Feifei, who was surely busy looking for a female anchor.
On the way, he called Chu Feifei to inquire about the situation.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she answered, he rarely received a mild complaint from Chu Feifei: "Uncle, what were you up to all day today? I haven't seen you since this morning."
"There was something, I just finished dealing with it."
Jiang Feng smiled calmly, "How's the progress on your end, is everything going smoothly? I'm on my way back."
"I'm doing okay. I've contacted many female anchors already, with Shiyan and Qinyao helping me screen them. We're also reaching out to some higher-profile ones."
Chu Feifei continued, "However, Qingcheng isn't doing well; she's sick, went to the office alone, and hasn't returned…"
"Qingcheng is sick?"
Jiang Feng abruptly stopped walking and interrupted, "Since when?"
"Probably caught a chill last night; when she got up this morning, I noticed she didn't look well, yet she still went to the office, busy with an urgent order with Sister Zhiqing…"
Before Chu Feifei could finish, Jiang Feng had already hung up the phone.
He suddenly felt deeply guilty!
Nangong Qingcheng was sick, and he only just found out!
How inadequate he was as a husband.
But why didn't she tell him either?
Jiang Feng immediately flipped open his phone, scanning through missed calls and WeChat messages, finding many, but none from Nangong Qingcheng.
It seemed she was somewhat disappointed or angry.
Usually, Nangong Qingcheng wasn't this petty, but today was special. When she's sick, she surely wants someone by her side to accompany and care for her, and he wasn't there.
Actually, even if she'd messaged or called, Jiang Feng might not have had time to check during the day, which is what made him feel even more guilty.
Without delay, Jiang Feng immediately called a cab and headed to Fengming.
...
Ten minutes later, when the taxi reached the entrance of Fengming, Jiang Feng happened to see Bai Zhiqing hurriedly getting out of an Audi, holding a bag, ready to rush upstairs.
Upon suddenly seeing Jiang Feng, Bai Zhiqing was also a bit surprised, "Xiao Feng, why are you here?"
"Sister Bai, where's Qingcheng?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Upstairs, I just went out to buy her some food; she hasn't eaten much all day…"
Bai Zhiqing raised her hand, showing the potstickers and hot porridge she bought for Nangong Qingcheng.
"Is her condition serious?" Jiang Feng immediately inquired.
"Sick? Oh no, it's just a mild cold, but her mood seems off; she's been working all day without eating, even though I ordered takeout for lunch..." Bai Zhiqing replied.
"Sister Bai, give it to me, I'll take it to her!"
Without another word, Jiang Feng extended his hand.
"Alright, I still have a lot of work to finish, you go talk to her. Working on an empty stomach isn't good."
Bai Zhiqing handed the plastic bag to Jiang Feng without much thought, as she indeed had a lot of work to handle; that big order wasn't something Nangong Qingcheng was managing alone.
Jiang Feng followed Bai Zhiqing upstairs, watched Bai Zhiqing return to her office, then continued forward into Nangong Qingcheng's office.
Inside, Nangong Qingcheng was focused on reviewing documents.
Suddenly seeing Jiang Feng enter, she was stunned, "Is it you?"
"I heard you were busy all day and were sick, so I came to check on you."
Jiang Feng casually closed the door, smiling as he came in.
Nangong Qingcheng immediately showed a bit of annoyance, and simultaneously felt waves of grievance in her heart.
As Bai Zhiqing said, her condition wasn't very serious; it was just that her mood wasn't great.
She'd been in this state all day, and Jiang Feng was only now coming by?
Nangong Qingcheng didn't have many demands, nor did she want to cling to Jiang Feng every day; she merely hoped that when she needed Jiang Feng, she could see him, have someone to rely on.
Yet Jiang Feng didn't even give her that chance.
Perhaps today she really was more emotional; in any case, Nangong Qingcheng was somewhat disappointed in Jiang Feng.
"Sister Bai bought this, I brought it up on the way, while it's still hot…" Jiang Feng raised the plastic bag in his hand.
"I'm not hungry!"
Nangong Qingcheng said coldly, her tone lacking the usual warmth and understanding.
Jiang Feng glanced up at her, suddenly smiled and said, "If you're not hungry, I am! Go get me a bowl, and pour out the porridge."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Qingcheng was immediately stunned, looking at Jiang Feng with her mouth agape in astonishment!
Her original plan was to coldly and resolutely refuse when Jiang Feng brought the items over, to vent her little grievances.
But unexpectedly, this guy was even thicker-skinned than she imagined!
Obviously, he was the one at fault, yet instead of comforting her, he actually wanted her, who'd been working hard all day, to fetch things for him?
Instantly, Nangong Qingcheng felt even more aggrieved!
