Thinking about tonight’s car race and the prospect of seeing Auntie Wuwu looking super cool again, she cheered up.
After getting dressed, Feng Jingxin picked up her phone to check it.
Soon, she furrowed her little brows.In the past, whenever she texted Auntie Wuwu, Auntie Wuwu would always reply very quickly.
But today, she had already finished washing up, and Auntie Wuwu still hadn’t replied to her.
Could Auntie Wuwu be angry?
Thinking of this, she hurriedly sent a message to Lin Wu.
[Auntie Wuwu, what’s wrong?
Are you angry?]
[Auntie Wuwu, you know I didn’t want Mom to take me to school.
You know I like you more.
Please don’t be angry, Auntie Wuwu, okay?]
After a long while, Lin Wu still hadn’t replied.
After getting everything ready, Rong Ci came over to look for her.
“Xinxin?
Are you ready?
It’s time to go downstairs for breakfast.”
Not having received a reply from Lin Wu, Feng Jingxin was extremely anxious.
Facing Rong Ci’s urging, she said impatiently, “I know!
Mom, can you stop talking all the time?
You’re so annoying, you know that?”
With that, she grabbed her schoolbag angrily and stomped downstairs.
Rong Ci watched her, following behind without saying a word.
But she did notice that the clothes Feng Jingxin was wearing looked unfamiliar.
Her clothes had always been prepared by Rong Ci before.
Of course, she had consulted the child’s opinions, and they were all to her liking.
But ever since Feng Jingxin followed Feng Tingshen to Country A, her aesthetic had changed.
She had heard this was because she had been learning rock climbing and skateboarding from Lin Wu.
She had heard that not only was Lin Wu academically excellent, but she also had numerous hobbies, making her an extremely brilliant and charismatic modern woman.
She was excellent at skateboarding, rock climbing, paragliding, and more.
Feng Jingxin idolized her so much that even her personal preferences had changed.
Previously, although Rong Ci was sad that Feng Jingxin was so close to Lin Wu, since these were her preferences, she had never said much about it.
Even when buying clothes for her over the past two years, she had bought them according to her current tastes.
But Feng Jingxin had only glanced at the new clothes Rong Ci had bought for her and hadn’t worn any of them.
She now only wore the clothes Lin Wu had picked out for her.
Looking at the clothes Feng Jingxin was wearing now, Rong Ci almost immediately guessed what had happened.
But she didn’t ask.
Acting as if she hadn’t noticed, she went downstairs with a natural expression.
Grandmother Feng, however, was awake.
“Xiao Ci and Xinxin are up so early?”
Rong Ci smiled.
“Mhm.
Good morning, Grandma.”
Feng Jingxin was in a bad mood and called out sulkily, “Good morning, Great-grandma.”
Grandmother Feng asked, “Is Xinxin unhappy?
What happened?”
Feng Jingxin didn’t say anything.
She didn’t want to talk.
The butler had heard Rong Ci knocking on Feng Jingxin’s door.
He smiled and said, “She was probably woken up before she could finish sleeping, so she’s in a bad mood.”
Hearing this, Grandmother Feng smiled, then asked, “Where is Tingshen?
Hasn’t he gotten up yet?”
Rong Ci’s expression remained unchanged as she said, “Tingshen had something to attend to last night and went out.”
Grandmother Feng’s face instantly darkened.
She immediately guessed what had happened.
But seeing that there were children present, she couldn’t scold Feng Tingshen in front of them, so she said nothing.
After breakfast, as they were preparing to leave, Feng Jingxin realized she had forgotten something and ran upstairs to get it.
Rong Ci sat downstairs waiting for her.
At that moment, Feng Jingxin’s phone screen lit up.
Someone had sent her a message.
Rong Ci saw the contact name “Kiss Kiss Auntie Wuwu” on the notification.
Rong Ci paused.
Although Feng Jingxin was still young, ever since she had a phone, Rong Ci had always respected her privacy.
She had never secretly looked at her phone.
But after seeing the content Lin Wu had sent, she paused, then picked up the phone.
Then she finally understood why Feng Jingxin had been losing her temper at her all morning.
She quickly scrolled through their chat history and found that Feng Jingxin would proactively text Lin Wu every morning to say good morning.
They chatted every single day.
And they chatted for a long time.
Hearing the sound of the elevator, Rong Ci acted as if she hadn’t seen anything and put the phone back in its original place.
Feng Jingxin took back her phone, opened it, and saw that Lin Wu had actually replied to her, saying she couldn’t bear to be angry with her, and that the reason she hadn’t replied earlier was because she hadn’t woken up yet.
After reading Lin Wu’s message, she immediately smiled happily.
Walking in front, Rong Ci glanced back slightly and knew exactly why she was so happy.
Feng Jingxin was immersed in her joy and didn’t notice Rong Ci looking back.
Once in the car, Feng Jingxin sat in the back and started texting Lin Wu.
Occasionally, she would sneak a peek to see if Rong Ci was paying attention to her.
Seeing that Rong Ci was only focused on driving in the front, she relaxed.
By this time, Feng Jingxin’s mood had improved, and she was in the mood to talk to Rong Ci.
“Mom, are you free this afternoon?”
Rong Ci didn’t look back.
“Why?”
Feng Jingxin didn’t say it directly, but coaxed her, “Just tell me.”
“I have a lot going on lately and no free time.
Why?”
Feng Jingxin smiled brightly.
“Nothing…
never mind.”
Since her mom was busy this afternoon, her mom definitely wouldn’t make time to pick her up after school.
That meant she could go straight to Auntie Wuwu after school without worrying about being discovered by her mom.
Yay!Arriving at the school, Rong Ci chatted with Feng Jingxin’s homeroom teacher for a while before being led by the teacher to Feng Jingxin’s classroom.
As they reached the classroom door, a sweet, childish voice suddenly called out to Rong Ci, “Sister Rong!”
Rong Ci was stunned as a little pink figure suddenly crashed into her arms.
Afraid the child would fall, Rong Ci quickly bent down and caught her.
When the child looked up, she quickly recognized her.
“Tiantian?”
The person was the neighbor’s child she had saved a few days ago, who had almost been bitten by a dog.
“Mhm!”
Tiantian had two cute little pigtails, looking exceptionally pink and adorable.
Her smile was sweet, and she looked very well-behaved.
Rong Ci subconsciously softened her voice and smiled.
“Tiantian goes to school here too—”
“Ah!”
Before Rong Ci could finish her sentence, Feng Jingxin forcefully pushed the little girl, Tiantian, who was still in Rong Ci’s arms.
Rong Ci hurriedly hugged the child who had fallen to the ground.
“Tiantian, are you okay?”
Tiantian shook her head.
Holding back tears, she looked at Feng Jingxin aggrievedly, not understanding why she had pushed her.
“You…
how can you push people…”
Seeing a little girl throw herself into Rong Ci’s arms, Feng Jingxin hadn’t reacted at first.
But seeing that they seemed very close, and Rong Ci was still holding her, her expression soured.
Seeing that Tiantian was about to cry after just one fall, she looked at her with utter disdain.
“So weak and fragile, all pink and tender.
You’re ugly and disgusting!”
