Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress
chapter-1443

Chapter 1443: Zhong Rufeng Appears!

The detailed results of Old Mr. Mo’s health checkup were released and Old Mr. Mo’s surgery was extremely successful. Part of his damaged cardiac muscle tissue had also shown signs of recovery and his bodily functions were slowly recovering too.

At the same time, Si Yiyan had also started being laxer with the locking of the hospital by allowing visitors, though he limited them to only the close friends of the Mo Family.

Zhong Rufeng headed to the hospital to visit Old Mr. Mo as soon as he heard the news of visitors being permitted. Of course, he also wanted to visit Wen Xinya.

Zhong Rufeng walked towards Old Mr. Mo’s hospital ward.

At this moment, the doors of the ward were opened and a man who was dressed in gray and white exited.

The two of them met each other.

One was reserved and lofty!

The other was full of vigor and flawless like jade!

They held each other’s gazes!

One had mysterious eyes while the other had clear ones!

After a brief moment of eye contact, they looked away from each other.

There was no rise in emotions in any of them and they were just like strangers!

At the same time, they walked away from each other.

Si Yiyan was dressed in a gray and white shirt that made him look calm and composed. He then left confidently.

Zhong Rufeng suddenly turned around and shifted his gaze onto the man whom he could not take his eyes off.

Is this the man whom Wen Xinya loves greatly?

He’s indeed very outstanding!

Zhong Rufeng looked away and gently knocked on the door of Old Mr. Mo’s ward.

Soon, the door of the hospital ward opened and Wen Xinya stood behind the door, staring at Zhong Rufeng in shock. “Brother Zhong, hurry and enter!”

Zhong Rufeng had been very busy ever since he joined the political scene, though Wen Xinya was not too sure about how busy he was. However, the thought of Zhong Rufeng becoming a rising star of the political scene in Capital city ten years after she returned to the Wen Family in her previous lifetime made her certain that he was definitely very busy and was slogging his guts out.

Zhong Rufeng entered the ward smilingly and handed a fruit basket to Wen Xinya. “How’s Old Mr. Mo’s health?”

When the news of Old Mr. Mo’s sudden myocardial infarction, which caused a rupture in his cardiac muscles, was leaked, both Zhong Rufeng and his grandfather were beyond astonished. Old Mr. Zhong had already visited Old Mr. Mo at the hospital several times before. However, he only returned from abroad two days ago and finally had the chance to visit Old Mr. Mo.

Wen Xinya arranged for Zhong Rufeng to take a seat before pouring him a glass of tea. “Grampy has been in good shape ever since he woke up and there are no longer any major issues with his health, though he needs to be hospitalized for further observation. However, you’ve come at the wrong time. He has just fallen asleep.”

It had been two years since Zhong Rufeng entered the political scene and in recent years, he had finally made his debut. He showcased his talent and had become much more mature after all that he had experienced in recent years. He exuded a composed aura and had already started to possess the vigor that he had before her death in her previous lifetime.

“Seems like I’ve come at the wrong time!” Zhong Rufeng smiled cordially and appeared refined yet grounded and mature. He looked appropriately natural as well.

“You’re so busy and yet, you still took the time to visit Grampy. He’ll definitely be thrilled to know this.” Zhong Rufeng had always been admired by Old Mr. Mo, who had also given him plenty of teachings. They were truly a teacher-student pair.

Old Mr. Mo once complimented Zhong Rufeng for being humble, modest, gentle, refined, moral, heroic, kind and brave!

Zhong Rufeng was the only one who could still be so gentlemanly in such a superficial society!

“I’ve known you for so many years, but you’re still so formal with me,” Zhong Rufeng said calmly as if he was just stating a fact. However, there was a tinge of disappointment in his eyes.

Throughout the past few years, Wen Xinya got admitted to Capital University where she studied jewelry design, something that he completely did not understand. On the other hand, he delved into the political scene where he was busy working and learning. He and Wen Xinya gradually stopped meeting each other as often as before.

There was a period of time where he once felt dejected about it. After all, it had been plenty of years and he was no fool either. He knew that Wen Xinya had always just been treating him like a close friend and did not have any romantic feelings for him at all.

He had always been reserved and not one to pester others. Besides, he and Wen Xinya had known each other for years but had always had a cordial and platonic relationship. He also knew that it was difficult to push it further.

He had also once felt depressed and down because of it. However, as time passed and he got increasingly busy with work, he slowly began to put down his feelings for Wen Xinya, though he still liked her deep down.

“I don’t intend to stand on ceremony with you at all, I was just telling the truth. You’ve always been Grampy’s favorite person and he admires you so much that he treats you like his successor. You actually mean as much to him as I do.”

Due to the fact that the Zhong Family had always been close to the Mo Family, Zhong Rufeng was rather close to Old Mr. Mo too. Although Zhong Rufeng did not learn alongside Old Mr. Mo, the latter had been guiding him along throughout the years and hence, they shared a bond that no one could replace.

Zhong Rufeng smiled and said, “Others often praise their own children, but our grandfathers seem to praise other children instead.”

Whenever he thought about the bond between him and Old Mr. Mo, he would start thinking about the close relationship between Wen Xinya and Old Mr. Zhong.

Not only did Old Mr. Zhong give Wen Xinya plenty of guidance in calligraphy, he even shared his experiences with her because of how much he liked her.

He completely treated her like his own granddaughter.

Wen Xinya burst into laughter and said, “If Grandpa Zhong hears you, he’s going to call you a rascal again.”

Old Mr. Mo had always admired Zhong Rufeng for being refined and calm, but Old Mr. Zhong often chastised him for being too boring.

Zhong Rufeng smiled and changed the subject. “I saw a man coming out just now. Is he your boyfriend?”

Three years ago, Si Yiyan, who was said to be Old Mr. Mo’s best student, began appearing frequently and he began to guess that he was Wen Xinya’s boyfriend. It was also his first time seeing him in person.

Wen Xinya smiled and answered, “Yeah!”

Zhong Rufeng said smilingly with a tinge of dejection, “He’s very outstanding!”

He was honest and was just stating facts.

“Yeah, he is!” Wen Xinya exclaimed firmly.
