Chapter 458: V343: Feng Chengjin is quiet and calm, resembling an ink-colored solitary mountain rock. (This Chapter revised)
Feng Chengjin had never felt so dim and agitated, feeling like an outsider, an undeniable outsider.The past entanglements compounded with today’s sudden changes.
Standing outside the door.
Mo Tong hung his head in disappointment, self-mockery and sarcasm pervading even more.
Back and forth, stopping and standing, left and right.
He paced back and forth in the hallway.
Several times, he thought about knocking on the door, but when his fingers touched the door frame, he pulled them back.
In the end, watching the minute and hour hands on his wristwatch move little by little, as time approached 6 o’clock, the color of dawn seeped through the hallway window...
He clenched his palm, furrowed his brow, preparing to turn and leave.
But at this moment.
The phone rang.
At the same time, there was the sound of a wooden door being pushed open and Gu Zixuan stepping out while anxiously dialing on the phone.
Their eyes met.
After days of not seeing each other, the two reunited in the stairwell.
Gu Zixuan held the phone, quietly looking at Feng Chengjin.
Feng Chengjin held the phone, quietly looking at Gu Zixuan.
The clear ringtone echoed abruptly in the stairwell...
Gu Zixuan was puzzled and confused.
To be honest, he was calling her, and before the call connected, he just opened the door and saw her in person; at this moment, Gu Zixuan was truly caught between indescribable surprise and emotion.
But his movements as if about to leave...
Gu Zixuan looked on in confusion, her gaze contained too many trembling hues at the moment of extreme anxiety.
Feng Chengjin pursed his thin lips, speaking softly, "Zixuan..."
...
Seated back in the Gu Family’s living room.
The atmosphere of the entire living room shifted with Feng Chengjin’s arrival.
Gu Zixuan did not understand Feng Chengjin’s actions, furrowing her brows and lowering her gaze without speaking.
The others in the living room looked at Feng Chengjin with meaningful glances.
Especially Qiu Zhai and Song An, they looked left at Gu Qingfeng and right at Gu Zixuan, unable to help furrowing their brows deeply after a long examination.
Neither spoke, and the reclined Gu Qingfeng on the sofa looked even more cold and stern.
With a sarcastic smile, Gu Qingfeng didn’t even spare a proper glance at Feng Chengjin and continued addressing He Qimo, "Qimo, Dad doesn’t have much going on this time, no need to worry. Later, it’s just a few days of questioning. You’re busy with work too, go back and get some rest."
He Qimo’s expression slightly contained, his deep gaze sweeping through.
Knowing these words were meant for Feng Chengjin, logically, he shouldn’t respond in this atmosphere.
But facing Gu Qingfeng, he couldn’t not reply.
Moreover... about Gu Qingfeng’s situation this time, seeing Feng Chengjin already with Gu Zixuan and still...
He Qimo frowned coldly, not wanting to say much, he pursed his lips and responded, "I’m not busy, Dad, I’ll stay here."
The "father and son" duo sang in harmony.
Therefore, Feng Chengjin felt an even sharper sting in his eyes, his heart cruelly mocked and ridiculed, a slap across his face.
He turned his face sideways, silent and speechless.
Feng Chengjin was quiet and composed, as solitary as ink-toned rocks, isolated.
Gradually, amid everyone’s idle chatter, unable to find a way, deeply anxious, they eventually turned their gaze towards Feng Chengjin.
No one knew if Feng Chengjin had done it.
But since he came, he should be here to solve the problem, and regarding ability and family background, no one in Rong City could compare to the Feng Family. If he was willing to lend a hand, regardless if it was for forcing a marriage...
Therefore, no one wanted to broach this...
Qiu Yuan in her anxious heart, acted as the pioneer.
She spoke, "..."
