Chapter 228 Is Luo Anya Feigning Illness?

Luo Anya's face instantly turned pale and ashen. Did Feng Jue still have any conscience?

"You brat, what divorce? You're not allowed to get a divorce. Let me tell you, you couldn't find a girl as understanding as Anya even with a lantern."

The old lady then looked at Luo Anya, "Anya, he was just joking. That kid, he just deserves to be bitten, that's your specialty. Just don't bite so hard next time, after all, it's on the mouth, hahaha, don't you think?"

Luo Anya smiled shyly, "That was the first time I was inexperienced. I'll definitely master the strength next time."

As she spoke, she looked at Feng Jue with deep affection, quickly changing the subject of divorce.

If she had known this man was heartless, she shouldn't have said that; she practically dug a hole for herself.

Feng Jue said calmly, "Mom, to tell you the truth, the little wildcat isn't Anya, it's Su Xi."

What?! The old lady's pupils dilated in shock. So long ago, back in the old house, Su Xi had dared to openly seduce her son and brazenly abuse him, and she hadn't even noticed.

It's true what they say, you can guard against a thief in your own home day and night, but it's hard to guard against one in your own house. She really misjudged Su Xi.

She almost bit through her son's lip; Su Xi has such a vicious heart.

Luo Anya's face paled, and she looked at Feng Jue in disbelief.

The man's expression was indifferent. "Back then, I had Anya take the blame for Su Xi to avoid causing her any trouble. Thank you for that."

Luo Anya's smile looked more like a grimace.

“Anya, I know you’re a good girl. When you were unconscious, I knew that getting married to save you was not what you wanted, otherwise you wouldn’t have brought up divorce as soon as you opened your eyes.”

Luo Anya opened her mouth but didn't get a word in edgewise. The man continued, "Luckily, I understand your feelings and don't want to make you a divorcee. Our marriage was fake, so there's no need for a divorce. We'll still be friends and siblings, just like before. Aren't you happy?"

Luo Anya tried to force a smile, but still couldn't manage to laugh.

Aunt Luo couldn't help but shout angrily, "Feng Jue, are you playing us for fools? What are you doing...?"

When her father tried to pull her away but she wouldn't listen, he had to manually mute her microphone.

The old lady also said, "A-Jue, what you did was not right. Anya likes you, anyone can see that. She just woke up, how could you upset her like this? What if something happens to her, can you bear the responsibility?"

Since the previous marriage was a sham, it should be a real marriage now. It's only meaningful if they get the marriage certificate in person. Can Anya's body be registered at the Civil Affairs Bureau?

"Yes," Luo Anya replied in a barely audible voice, extremely shy.

Feng Jue only looked at Luo Anya, his eyes sharp as knives.

Luo Anya's smile froze.

“Anya, I believe you are kind enough not to force me in this way. I can stay by your side until you recover. But you can’t tie me down with marriage.”

Luo Anya decided to drop the pretense and said, "Brother Ajue, I really want to give you to Sister Su, but I can't. If I can't be your woman in this life, there's no point in me living."

The man's face instantly turned cold, and he withdrew his hand from the woman's.

The old lady hurriedly said, "Feng Jue, don't forget, it's impossible for you and Su Xi to be together anymore. There are so many daughters of prominent families in Luocheng, only Anya is the most suitable. You're not getting any younger, and it's not good to stay single all the time. Who knows, you might be seduced by some scheming married woman one day."

"We can postpone marriage, but we must first become boyfriend and girlfriend and officially announce it online so that no other Tom, Dick, or Harry can have designs on you."

Feng Jue suddenly looked at the old lady and saw a threat in her eyes. If he didn't do this, Su Xi would still be told about the car accident.

After Su Xi was attacked by trolls on the trending topics one after another, Feng Jue finally realized that his every move really concerned Su Xi's life and death.

It wouldn't be bad to let Luo Anya shield Su Xi from the gunfire and share the hatred.

"good."

Hearing the man release her, Luo Anya breathed a huge sigh of relief. The man had that icy, domineering CEO look; he seemed aloof, but he still cared for her.

Urged by the old lady, Feng Jue immediately used the official account of Tianjue Group to announce that he and Luo Anya were boyfriend and girlfriend.

Putting down his phone, the man looked at Luo Anya, whose smile widened uncontrollably, and whose complexion became much rosier.

“Anya, now that you’re awake, tell us what really happened that day. Many people who don’t know any better say that Su Xi drugged you, and your sister Su has been unfairly blamed.”

Luo Anya's eyes flickered, and she almost showed a guilty expression.

"What do you mean by 'taking the blame'? It's obvious that Su Xi wanted to kill my daughter so she could be with you. What you just said was that we were blind. Is that how you talk about your in-laws?"

"Mr. Luo, keep your wife in check and don't let her make up relatives. Even if Anya and I are just dating for the time being, and even if we get married and have a house full of children and grandchildren, if she dares to talk to me like that, I don't care about mother-in-law or anything like that."

"Yes, Mr. Feng, I will definitely discipline them properly in the future."

Aunt Luo protested, "Feng Jue, do you think you're the emperor, and that your father-in-law and mother-in-law have to kneel before you? With this attitude, you think you can marry my daughter?"

"As you wish. I will not marry her."

Luo Anya wished she could sew a zipper onto her troublesome mother's mouth.

Luo's mother choked, wanting to say something, but Luo's father slapped her hard across the buttocks and decisively ordered the bodyguards to drag her away.

"Mr. Feng, women are all shallow-minded. Please don't mind them."

Feng Jue ignored her and looked at Luo Anya, waiting for her reply.

Everyone looked at Luo Anya. Who else but Su Xi could have drugged and harmed her?

“Anya, just tell the truth, and Grandma will take care of it for you.”

Luo Anya pursed her lips. When she set up the scheme, she wanted to pin this blame on Su Xi. Now, Huo Qianfan's fate served as a warning to her.

This plan was a bit clumsy; what if Feng Jue finds out something that could damage their relationship? Next time, Su Xi definitely won't be so lucky.

"I'm sorry, Brother Ajue, I accidentally took the wrong medicine. It has nothing to do with Sister Su."

"impossible!"

A sudden sound rang out.

Pei Yun Shen barged in, his leg still slightly limping. "An Ya, how could someone as intelligent as you make such a basic mistake? It's clearly Su Xi trying to harm you, so why are you protecting the person who's trying to hurt you?"

She then looked at Feng Jue and said, "President Feng, you really have a lot of swagger. For the sake of some unrelated woman, you let your own woman suffer in silence. How can you face Anya?"

Feng Jue coldly retorted, "Who are you?"

Pei Yun Shen was taken aback for a moment, then said matter-of-factly, "I'm your good brother. For your brother's sake, treat An Ya better. Don't let your decisive and efficient work attitude be applied to your personal relationships. Women are meant to be pampered."

Feng Jue smiled and looked at Old Madam Feng, "Mom, did you know that Anya has such a persistent simp?"

The old lady's expression instantly turned sour, and she looked at Pei Yun Shen with suspicion.

Feng Jue then looked at Luo's father, "Mr. Luo, I'm trying to help your daughter, but is she trying to give me a green hat?"

"No, no, Pei Yunshen and I are just friends," Luo Anya said urgently.

Mr. Luo looked embarrassed. "They really are just friends."

Pei Yun Shen rubbed his nose. "You treat An Ya worse than a friend. Shouldn't you reflect on that?"

"Pei Yun Shen, shut up." Luo Anya glared at Pei Yun Shen, and fearing that Feng Jue would really misunderstand, she hurriedly said, "Brother A Jue, if you don't like it, Pei Yun Shen and I will no longer be friends, and we will never have any contact again."

Pei Yun Shen stared wide-eyed in disbelief, his fists clenching tightly. "An... Anya."

"Alright, one month. Whether Anya is better or not, we're breaking up. I don't have a penchant for competing with other men for a woman."

"No, no, Brother A-Jue, let me explain..."

Feng Jue acted as if he hadn't heard, turned around and left quickly. The old lady looked at Pei Yun Shen suspiciously for a few moments, then ignored Luo's father's attempts to stop her and also left quickly.

The old lady was shrewd and experienced, so she naturally saw through the trick at a glance.

She never expected that her carefully chosen daughter-in-law would secretly keep such a sycophant. Had she misjudged her again?

Seeing the door close, Luo Anya sat up abruptly from the bed and slapped Pei Yunshen hard.

The slap was loud, unlike the strength one would expect from a person in a vegetative state who has just woken up.

Pei Yun Shen covered his face, "An Ya, how come you're so strong?"

Luo Anya's eyes flickered. "Isn't it because of you? Feng Jue and I are doing fine, why did you come out and say all that nonsense?"

"I just can't stand seeing you suffer. Feng Jue is truly ungrateful. He disregards brotherhood for the sake of Su Xi, a second-hand woman. He'll regret it someday."

Seeing that the man had changed the subject and no longer questioned her strength, Luo Anya breathed a sigh of relief, lay back on the bed, and said weakly, "I'm tired, you can all leave!"

After leaving, Pei Yunshen felt an increasing pain in his cheek. When he went to the bathroom, his pupils shrank.

A bright red handprint had already swelled up. Was Anya truly ruthless, using every ounce of her strength, or... was she faking illness?

He called his subordinate, "Check Luo Anya's medical records..."

After breaking up with Feng Jue, Su Xi felt refreshed and invigorated. Having spent three days in the underground palace, she wanted to go out for a walk.

She went to see her younger brother first; everything for their round-the-world trip was ready. If this weren't her last trip, Su Xi might still be able to smile.

Then we went to the nursing home to visit my grandmother.

"Mom, that good-for-nothing Su Xi was made a fool of, wasted three years of his life and didn't even get a marriage certificate. He's a disgrace to our Su family."

She owes me 30 billion. If she doesn't pay me back, I'll curse her every time I see her.

Grandma Su narrowed her eyes. "How come she owes you so much money?"

"A divorce would have netted me 30 billion. Turns out this idiot was unmarried, and the duck that was practically in my mouth just flew away. If she were my own daughter, I would have already beaten her to a pulp. I really wish I could beat her into a paralysis; she's worse than a piece of trash..."

Grandma Su got annoyed and said, "Alright, Su Xi isn't here. What's the use of telling me? Su Xi is indeed useless. Every single thing she's done has made me feel disheartened."

She used to be incredibly shrewd, able to turn a bad hand into a winning one. But now it's the complete opposite; she thinks she's some kind of prince or princess, with all the good things just falling into her lap?

"That's right, Mom. She doesn't know how to plan or fight for herself at all. Isn't she just a fool?"

Su Xi listened for a moment, then pushed the door open and came in with a blank expression.

"How can you talk such nonsense about your juniors behind their backs? Aunt, you have no shame. I heard I owe you money?"
