Chapter 512 - Return of the Devil (2)
Feng Tianyi felt like someone poured a bucket of ice over his head when he heard what his mother's assistant said on the other end of the line. His mouth opened, but no words came out.
Seeing his shocked state, Tang Moyu felt that something bad had happened. She snatched the phone from her husband's hand and answered the phone call. She recognized who was calling Feng Tianyi and knew that it was her mother-in-law's assistant.
Tang Moyu had met the person several times.
"This is Tang Moyu. Please tell me what happened." She demanded politely. Although she is now Feng Tianyi's wife, she still needed to be careful about the way she talked with any person involved with the Song family.
"Madam Feng, we need you here! Our Madam has just collapsed after her meeting. We rushed her to the hospital and blocked out the news about it!" The assistant said hastily.
Tang Moyu was frozen on her seat. Song Huifen collapsed?! How could this possibly be?! No wonder her husband reacted like that.
No matter if Song Huifen was barely there during his childhood, Tang Moyu was aware that the older woman was trying her best to mend her relationship with Feng Tianyi.
"Tell me which hospital she's in right now. We will be there very soon!" Tang Moyu took the initiative and got up from her seat, rushing back inside the main house to find Auntie Lu.
They couldn't waste any more time here and should go at once. After receiving the details she needed from her mother-in-law's assistant, Tang Moyu asked Auntie Lu and her twins' nursemaids to look after the children as she dragged her husband with her.
Even though Feng Tianyi was already seated on her passenger seat, he hadn't spoken a word to his wife. He was too shocked from the news and hadn't come back to his senses since he received the phone call.
"Goddamnit, Feng Tianyi!" Tang Moyu snapped at him as she drove to the hospital in a hurry, albeit making sure not to overspeed. "Come back to your senses right now! I need you! Mother needs you!"
It was only then Feng Tianyi understood that he didn't have the liberty to be in a daze, forcing his wife to deal with the problem on her own.
"Why did they block out the news, Tianyi? What's happening?" She questioned him, giving him a side glance and noticing the hardening of his jaw.
"Because I have two uncles that are still waiting to strike and snatch the position from my mother." Feng Tianyi explained in a low voice. "You know that my mother is the first woman to hold the title as the head of the Song family, and she had to defeat many of my uncles before she was able to secure her position."
So the usual 'family devouring another kin' case, huh? Tang Moyu should have known that this would be the reason. The Song family was one of the oldest and most influential families in the country, it was only natural for those family members to covet Song Huifen's position.
"This is also a way to protect Baobao and Little Star. The rumors about them being my mother's successors have started to go around. My uncles wouldn't waste their time to hurt the twins if they found out that my mother is weak." Feng Tianyi pulled out her phone and sent his orders to He Lianchen and Song Fengyan.
By this time, Song Fengyan should be in Moyu's home with the children. Now, they had to make sure that his mother's condition wouldn't reach his uncles' ears.
When they arrived at the hospital, the couple were greeted at the back entrance by Song Huifen's assistant, who then led them to the private room where the old woman was. The old woman was lying on the bed, her face ghastly pale.
This was the first time Tang Moyu saw her regal mother-in-law like this and she was saddened to see her in such a state. Meanwhile, Feng Tianyi's face hardened as he stared at his mother.
For the longest time, his mother had been the one cleaning after his mess, always giving him the leeway to do whatever he wanted. To see her like this, Feng Tianyi hated that he couldn't do anything when she was the one who needed his help.
Even now, it was his wife who was proactively talking to the doctor and making arrangements with his mother's assistant. He could only sit in a chair next to his mother's bed, lowering his head in shame.
Such a useless son he was!
It surprised him and Tang Moyu to find out that there had been recurring episodes like this before, but they only bothered to call Feng Tianyi when she wasn't responding to their attempts to wake her up.
"But they will surely suspect something if Madam suddenly stopped showing herself at work. I'm afraid they will use this as an opening to question her authority." Song Huifen's assistant said once the doctor left and they were safe from everyone else's earshot.
"We'll find a way. Don't worry." Tang Moyu replied. "For the meantime, please see what's happening outside."
The assistant nodded and left them in silence.
Tang Moyu cupped her and gave it a good thought. Perhaps it was time for her to take over Xiao Xing and let her husband focus on Qing Tian Group instead. She glanced at her husband, who hadn't uttered a single word since their arrival.
She couldn't really blame him. Song Huifen was one of the people who was able to reassure them that they weren't alone, giving them courage to face their fears. It must have been really hard for him to see his mother in this condition.
