Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me

Chapter 516: V394: Feng Chengjin is sick...

Is it worth it?Qiu Yuan shook her head, unsure if it was worth it or not.

She only knew that in Feng Chengjin’s eyes, no one in the Gu Family liked him, and Feng Chengjin understood this well, so he never disturbed them.

But...

Doing this too often... even a heart of iron would...

Qiu Yuan felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart.

She paused, placed the warming film for the plants into the flowerpot, and turned around to enter the house.

She was afraid, afraid that she might start wavering, so it was better not to look.

Thus, the days went by like this.

Until the days before the end of the year approached, and as January 23rd arrived, there were only four days left until the New Year.

It was the 8th day, and as usual, Qiu Yuan opened the door punctually at that time in the morning.

She thought that no matter what, today even if her daughter was still unwilling to see him, she would at least pour a glass of water for Feng Chengjin and make a meal.

But when she opened the door, it was empty...

The time dragged on until 09:15 in the morning, and there was still no sign of Feng Chengjin.

After checking several times, Qiu Yuan closed the door with a sense of unspeakable heartache and disappointment.

Back at the table, Gu Qingfeng looked at her from across the fragrant tea he was brewing, sighed, and said: "Forget it. Given our daughter’s attitude is so clear, he should give up. It’s good that he left like this, and since it’s almost New Year, let him have a rest. He can come again after the New Year when we’re already gone. He’s an adult, with such a clear attitude, he wouldn’t keep hopelessly pursuing. This is for the best, otherwise, if he persists like this, our whole family would find it unbearable."

The bitterness at the corners of Gu Qingfeng’s lips was something Qiu Yuan had never seen before.

Thinking about her daughter’s current state and mood... such a heart-wrenching situation, Qiu Yuan had never experienced anything so poignant in her life.

With reddened eyes, Qiu Yuan felt a sharp pain in her heart.

So, despite the disappointment, she understood that parting like this might be the best outcome.

Nodding, she handed the neatly listed inventory of household items to Gu Qingfeng.

"This is a list of the old house’s items, including the famous paintings my father left me, the dowry, and all the gold, silver, and jade pieces are in it. Do you think if we compensate the Feng Family with all these, Feng Jingguo will be appeased?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingfeng took a sip from the teacup, then put it back down and gave a bitter smile, sorting through the real estate, land deeds, and bank assets he had organized over the past few days while speaking.

"It’s probably the most we can do to appease him. The boy modified all the data he could to get me out this time, so it’s not hard to imagine what kind of anger Old Feng would have. Let’s not make it difficult for him... In Old Feng’s eyes, unless we’re utterly ruined and compensate them completely, their family will not let it go."

Handing over all the assets.

Listening, tears welled up in Qiu Yuan’s eyes.

Thinking back, knowing nothing from start to finish, her daughter, the most innocent one, now had to give up her lifetime of happiness to repay the debts for all of them. Moreover, a perfectly good Gu Family and Qiu Family...

Unable to hold back her tears, she covered her lips and went into the bedroom.

Gu Qingfeng sighed bitterly, thinking of more than twenty years ago, picked up a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff...

...

Everyone thought Feng Chengjin had already given up.

Even the daughter, who came out for lunch as usual, smiled sadly and lowered her eyes when she saw the looks from her parents, realizing that she didn’t hear the usual words from Feng Chengjin in the morning, ate her meal in disappointment.

However, no one expected that the reason Feng Chengjin didn’t come was not that he gave up, but because he was ill.

Days of high-intensity physical exertion, coupled with an infected wound, fever, and a despondent mood, had left him so exhausted that, after coming back last night to shower, he didn’t even have the strength to call Feng Yushan before he collapsed into a deep sleep.

And in this slumber, he didn’t wake up in the morning.

In the end, it was Feng Yushan who went in, wanting to ask why uncle didn’t visit aunt today. After several unresponsive calls, she saw his feverish face, gingerly touched his forehead, realized the severity, and quickly called the whole family.

So then...

When the Feng Family members all gathered.

Without exception, everyone saw the festering wound on Feng Chengjin’s back...

Feng Chengjin had fallen asleep without a shirt after the bath, and the terrifying scars on his strong back muscles.

Struck a chord of fear in the hearts of the whole family.

Feng Yushan wanted to help cover it up but couldn’t manage it alone, as her uncle’s weight was too much for her...
