Thanks to Sheng Yan's efforts, Sheng Sibai didn't vomit in the study. However, neither of the two brothers escaped a scolding.
Sheng Yan was scolded for being so grown - up but still not knowing the rules, while Sheng Sibai was scolded for not setting a good example as the elder brother. In short, both of them were severely rebuked.
After this commotion, Sheng Yan couldn't go back to his own home. So he simply stayed at the Sheng Mansion.
He hadn't lived here for some time and was a bit unaccustomed. He tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Through the transparent gauze curtain, he could still feel the moonlight shining on his bed.
He used to be very afraid of seeing the moonlight. Every night when going to bed, he would draw the curtains tightly, not allowing even a sliver of light in. Later, he met Feng Qing. Feng Qing made him no longer afraid of the moonlight, but she also made him miss her terribly on every night when he could see the moon.
In the past few years, when he suffered from insomnia, he would have very naive thoughts. For example, the whole world shared the same moon. He wondered whether the moon he saw at this moment was the one Feng Qing had seen last night or the one she would see tomorrow morning.
At that time, he would fall asleep every night with such thoughts in mind, and surprisingly, he could sleep well. However, no one in his dreams ever answered his question.
Sheng Yan stared blankly at the moon outside the window, wondering how Feng Shengyang was doing.
In the afternoon at the hospital, she slapped him. Without asking him anything, she excluded him from the list of trustworthy people. At that moment, he felt very wronged. But now, it seemed that he wasn't entirely blameless.
His father's evasive attitude really made him suspicious. If it was really his father who told Chairman Feng...
Thinking about his father's attitude towards Feng Qing all along, was there some secret past between his father and Chairman Feng?
It was a pity that his father didn't seem to want to tell him. And as for Chairman Feng... he probably wouldn't be able to get an answer from him either.
Probably due to the effect of the alcohol, he began to feel his head getting heavy. Before long, he fell into a drowsy sleep.
On the other side, Feng Qing, who was still guarding at the hospital, finally waited for her father to wake up at three o'clock in the morning.
She herself had fainted in the afternoon. When Feng Shengyang was just out of the operating room, she was still unconscious. She didn't wake up until two hours before Feng Shengyang woke up.
"Okay, the doctor said that as long as he wakes up, he can be transferred to a general ward. You don't have to worry anymore," Qi Zhicheng was really perseverant. He never left the hospital from beginning to end. Compared with the two people who were unconscious for most of the time, he could be said to have hardly closed his eyes.
Feng Qing was still a bit weak. She felt embarrassed seeing Qi Zhicheng being so dedicated. "Sorry, you've already left the company, but I'm still troubling you like this."
"Chairman Feng's kindness to me has nothing to do with where I work. I'm just doing what I should do." Although Qi Zhicheng looked extremely tired, his words were still firm. Feng Qing didn't say any more words of thanks but told him to go home and rest first.
"I'll watch over here. You go back first. Your son will cry a lot if you don't go home for a day." Although she didn't know the personality of his son, she knew Cathy's personality well.
Anyway, kids were always hard to figure out.
After Qi Zhicheng left, Feng Shengyang didn't say anything to Feng Qing either. They tacitly agreed to go to sleep first and talk about things after dawn.
Feng Qing had no choice but to lie down on the sofa and stop talking.
The window of the ward was small. Lying on her side on the sofa, Feng Qing looked out of the window. Only a few branches of the big tree below could be seen, swaying and changing the shape of the moonlight's shadow as it entered the room.
She couldn't fall asleep and began to reflect on everything that had happened. She used to do everything according to her own will. She wondered whether it was right or wrong, but she seemed unable to judge.
When she married Lawrence back then, it was a moment of impulse. But it was precisely this impulse that gave Cathy a complete family.
But now, it was also because of this impulse that almost cost her father his life.
She had really been too willful in the past.
She was used to being free and unrestrained. She didn't tell anyone about her marriage. For a whole four years, she never thought of telling her father.
In the final analysis, she was just too selfish.
Feng Qing shed tears in the light. The crystal - clear teardrops rolled down from her eyes and quickly reached her ears, disappearing in the shadows.
Feng Shengyang wasn't angry because Feng Qing was married and had a child. He was angry because of her concealment and the suddenness of receiving the information. He got too excited, which led to what happened later.
His health was getting worse and worse. Who knew how much longer his body could hold on?
"Dad, I'm sorry." Feng Qing didn't sleep all night. She waited by the bed early, guarding for Feng Shengyang to wake up. Her first words were an apology.
Feng Shengyang just listened to Feng Qing slowly, blinked his eyes, and didn't seem to want to say anything.
"I know I shouldn't have hidden it from you, but my marriage is a sham, not real. If it were real, I would definitely tell you. How could I get married secretly, right?"
Seeing that Feng Shengyang seemed quite calm, Feng Qing started to be talkative again. She only stopped when Feng Shengyang glared at her.
"However, that child is really cute. If you want to see her, I can ask Lawrence to bring her to see you."
Feng Shengyang was curious about the child and didn't refuse. "After all, she's called you mom for so long. It's really time for me to meet her."
When Sheng Yan came, he saw such a harmonious scene. Although the old man was lying in the hospital bed, there were his daughter, son - in - law, and granddaughter around. Everyone had a smile on their face, looking extremely happy.
Except for him, who was just on the other side of the door.
He looked inside through the glass window, looking at their family's smiles, and suddenly lost the courage to go in.
It was really cruel for him to face such a happy family.
"Why don't you go in?" Qi Zhicheng saw him standing at the door for a long time and couldn't help asking.
Sheng Yan got nervous all of a sudden and quickly withdrew his hand from the doorknob.
Qi Zhicheng noticed this and laughed at him. "This doesn't seem like you. What's wrong with you?"
"Not like me?" Sheng Yan repeated his words, his eyes still fixed on the warm and happy scene in the room. "No one can remain indifferent when seeing such a picture, right?"
Just separated by a door, the joys and sorrows of people were so different.
"If you go in now and tell them the truth, you can also be part of this picture."
Sheng Yan shook his head and instinctively refused. When he looked up and saw Qi Zhicheng looking at him playfully, he realized that Qi Zhicheng was teasing him.
"I find that you're becoming more and more capable of joining a pyramid scheme. You're so good at brain - washing. It's a pity that you don't become a lecturer."
"Thank you for your appreciation. If you're willing to recommend me one day, I'll be extremely grateful," Qi Zhicheng said seriously while suppressing his laughter, which made Sheng Yan roll his eyes in anger.
"Forget it. I'm so angry that I'm full. I'm leaving." Sheng Yan waved his hand and was about to leave when Qi Zhicheng suddenly called him.
"But you haven't said," Qi Zhicheng's tone suddenly became serious, "did you tell the chairman?"
