Chapter 148
When Feng's Father brought Liang Rongrong home, Huang Jie was abroad with her husband on a business trip, but that didn't stop her from gossiping about it later.
Eldest Aunt Shi was particularly annoyed with Feng's Father. When chatting with her sisters-in-law, she would occasionally bring up what a scoundrel Feng's Father was.
It wasn't just outsiders who suspected Liang Rongrong was Feng's Father's illegitimate child; even Feng's Mother had her doubts.
But for the sake of her son, she couldn't divorce her husband, and had to swallow this bitter pill alone.
Even without Eldest Aunt Shi, it didn't prevent Shi Li from hearing others gossip about Feng's Father and the girl he brought home. Everyone suspected she was Feng's Father's illegitimate daughter.
Otherwise, why would he suddenly bring a child home without explaining her identity, only saying he wanted to adopt her as his daughter? It didn't make sense.
Huang Jie, as a married woman herself, felt sorry for Feng's Mother when she saw the alleged illegitimate daughter following her.
Feng's Mother didn't need to say anything; Huang Jie knew it must have been that dog Feng's Father who told her to bring the adopted daughter along. Otherwise, why would Feng's Mother bring something to upset herself on her own birthday celebration?
Huang Jie cursed under her breath. It wasn't uncommon for rich families to have illegitimate children, but it was rare to bring them in front of the legal wife and ask her to raise them.
It was too insulting.
Liang Rongrong noticed the slight pause in the movements of those around her. She turned her head, her gaze questioning if something was amiss.
Feng Yunhe's eyes were deep and unreadable. He didn't respond to Liang Rongrong, his gaze seeming to drift towards where Shi Li was standing.
[Though Liang Rongrong isn't her husband's illegitimate daughter, her identity isn't much better. She's the daughter of Feng's Father's first love, with no relation to him, yet he's willing to play daddy]
[If this isn't love, then what is?]
Feng's Mother was softhearted, unlike others who enjoyed watching drama unfold. She shook her head disapprovingly, "How could the parents not try to stop him? This is a matter that affects the child's entire life."
"Who knows what they're thinking?" It's better if they don't intervene, so we can watch the show.
As Feng's Mother was engrossed in conversation with the lady opposite, Liang Rongrong took the initiative to pass her a plate of pastries. "Godmother, have some snacks to tide you over."
Feng's Mother was a well-mannered woman. Even though she greatly disliked Liang Rongrong, she only slightly furrowed her brow.
Feng Yunhe suddenly spoke up, "Don't you have a scene to film this afternoon? Shouldn't you be leaving now?"
Liang Rongrong checked the time and smiled brightly at Feng Yunhe, "Oh, there's no rush. It's Godmother's birthday today, I want to stay at home and keep her company a bit longer."
Feng's Mother inwardly wished she would leave soon, but didn't make any move to hurry her along. She just stared at the flowers in the vase without saying a word.
It was Feng Yunhe who spoke again, "You're the lead actress after all. It's better to arrive early, or you might affect the filming schedule for others."
Feng Yunhe had spoken to her several times today, which was unusual. Although she didn't understand why, Liang Rongrong felt this was a good start, and his words seemed to show concern for her.
Liang Rongrong happily agreed, "You're right, Brother. I'll go now."
She then apologized to Feng's Mother, "I'm sorry, Godmother. I have to leave now, but I'll make it up to you another time."
The annoying person was leaving, and Feng's Mother was delighted, though she only nodded reservedly and said, "Alright."
[Haha, hilarious! Your godmother would be more comfortable if you didn't come]
[They're all reluctant relatives. No need to talk about making it up, it's best if you don't come at all]
