Chapter 272 Drained by Wine and Women
Su Xi raised her hand to cover his lips, "Be careful of your wound."
When it came to the wound, Feng Jue suddenly remembered why he had called Su Xi over.
"Xiaoxi, the doctor said there might be bruising. Let me see." His hand instinctively reached out, but stopped abruptly the moment it touched the hem of Su Xi's clothes.
"Where are you injured? Lift up and let me see. I only want to see the injured areas." The man adopted a gentlemanly demeanor, as if he didn't want to look at anything improper.
Knowing the man wouldn't give up until she saw him, Su Xi lifted her skirt and saw him turn his head away, avoiding her gaze.
With a smooth jawline and firm skin, she had lost her cold, angular features and gained a touch of liveliness, which amused her.
She was somewhat surprised to see a bruise on her waist.
She pressed her clothes down, revealing only the bruise the size of a quail egg, thinking the man would just glance at it and let it go. Unexpectedly, Feng Jue immediately became alarmed, saying, "These quack doctors, they still say it's nothing."
"I'm the type of person who bruises easily from even the slightest bump, but it doesn't hurt at all. It's nothing."
"But I have something to do. Where's the ointment? I'll apply it for you."
Su Xi wanted to say no, but when she met the man's concerned and sincere eyes, she gave in. She could tell that the man thought she had accepted him, and he was beaming with joy.
Life can't always be like the first encounter. A peaceful ending is also a good thing.
Su Xi took out the ointment, and Feng Jue took it and carefully helped apply the medicine.
The well-defined fingers gently massaged the skin, causing no pain, but rather a tingling, electric-like sensation that traveled through the skin.
The cool sensation from the cream is a feeling that I can clearly recall even years later.
Su Xi's face remained calm, but her heart couldn't help but stir with emotion.
After finally applying the medicine, Su Xi put down her clothes and breathed a sigh of relief.
The next second, she was pulled into the man's arms, and his handsome face suddenly loomed large in her eyes.
It was as if all the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were bursting out at once.
Feng Jue held her tightly, kissing her passionately.
Su Xi dared not resist at all. The man held her for a long time, not even sparing the corners of her lips, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
But when the man let go of her, she felt as if time had flown by.
The moment the man released her, her eyes went straight to his wound. She was relieved to find that the wound hadn't reopened.
"Your man isn't made of paper, don't worry." The man spoke with a slight breathlessness, his eyes shining brightly.
She could clearly see her own reflection in his eyes.
Su Xi avoided the man's gaze, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart, but she still said, "It's getting late, you should get some rest, I should go back."
She tried to get up, but the man pressed down on her shoulders, his deep, cold voice coming from above her.
"Xiaoxi, I'm sorry about what happened to your mother, but I will try my best to find out the truth as soon as possible. If you can't get over it and are convinced that I did it, you can deal with me anytime. I'm waiting."
Su Xi was stunned. It would have been better if the man hadn't brought this up, because now that he had, she felt very unfilial.
Her voice turned colder. "Don't worry, Mr. Feng, I will." She broke free from the man's embrace and got up to leave.
"Still calling me President Feng?"
Su Xi turned around and met the man's clear eyes. She pursed her lips, but finally gave a slight smile. "Feng Jue, goodbye."
The woman's smile as she turned around struck him like a dagger. Feng Jue was stunned for a moment before smiling and replying, "Goodbye."
Not daring to look into the man's bright eyes, Su Xi turned and left.
This goodbye is not the same as that goodbye.
They will never see each other again.
After taking only a few steps, Liu Cheng came up to her, "Miss Su, President Feng asked me to take you home."
"good."
While waiting at a red light, Liu Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Su, don't you have anything to say to President Feng?"
"have."
"What?" Liu Cheng listened attentively.
Looking at the night outside the window, Su Xi said in a flat, even voice, "It's like a child leaving its mother; it only takes a few days to adjust."
Liu Cheng?
After dropping Su Xi off at Ye Qingqian's villa, Liu Cheng stayed outside for a long time, wondering if his decision was right.
Just as he was hesitating, a phone call came in. Seeing that it was the big boss, he hurriedly answered.
"Liu Cheng, has Su Xi arrived home safely? Why haven't you replied yet? Did something happen?"
Liu Cheng's heart skipped a beat. He was preoccupied with something and had forgotten to let President Feng know he was safe immediately.
Hearing the anxious voice on the other end and the sound of clothes rubbing against the blankets, there was no doubt that if Su Xi had even the slightest problem, President Feng would pull the plug and rush over without hesitation.
The banquet the day before yesterday was one example. Today's trip to the branch office was another, which is why General Manager Feng's health has been fluctuating, sometimes good, sometimes bad.
At that very moment, Liu Cheng suddenly became certain of his thoughts. "I'm sorry, Mr. Feng, Miss Su arrived home a long time ago and is probably already asleep. I... I forgot... I forgot to report to you."
As he was speaking, he saw Ye Qingqian and Su Xi drive out, presumably to take Su Xi to the airport.
His heart skipped a beat, and he stammered.
However, President Feng simply assumed that Liu Cheng's nervousness was due to carelessness and had no suspicions whatsoever. He said, "This will not happen again."
"I understand, President Feng." After hanging up the phone, Liu Cheng looked in the direction where Su Xi's car had disappeared, his face unconsciously contorted with a mournful expression.
He should have known better than to insist that Dr. Fang diagnose Su Xi; keeping this secret was too difficult. It was such a struggle for him.
On the way, Ye Qingqian stared ahead as she drove and asked, "I don't know where Luo Chen flew off to, and he absolutely refused to let me drive him. You know that? Don't lie to me."
Su Xi shook her head. "I really don't know. He's probably traveling the world with his mysterious girlfriend. He'll contact me when he's had his fill of travel."
The car suddenly swerved, and Ye Qingqian exclaimed, "What? A mysterious girlfriend? Why didn't you tell me about this? He wasn't tricked into going to Gayaozi in northern Myanmar under the guise of a romance, was he?!"
"No, I've seen that girlfriend before. I'm sure I've seen her somewhere before, but I can't remember where. And I'm sure she's not a bad person."
Ye Qingqian couldn't help but glance at Su Xi in the back row. "Should? You're really thick-skinned. Oh well, he's already flown away anyway. Sigh..."
After Ye Qingqian said that, Su Xi suddenly felt a little uncertain.
She tried hard to recall her memories of the girl. She was certain that the girl gave her a friendly feeling and wouldn't harm Luo Chen. As for who she really was...
Su Xi suddenly felt a dull pain in her brain and dared not think any further.
After a long while, the pain finally subsided. A question mark slowly formed in Su Xi's mind: Why can't I remember?
She wouldn't... have amnesia, would she?
However, she quickly dismissed the idea. She had memories from childhood to adulthood, and they were continuous. It shouldn't be like that.
The phone rang, and Ye Qingqian answered it. Her expression suddenly became very... strange.
"What's wrong?"
"Let's talk about it when we get to the airport."
Upon arriving at the airport, Su Xi wanted to go to the waiting room, but Ye Qingqian stopped her, saying, "There's something I need to tell you, and maybe you'll change your mind."
Su Xi paused for a moment, then quickly shook her head. "No matter what happens, I won't change my mind."
Seeing Ye Qingqian's solemn expression, it was clear that this matter would definitely influence her choice. Su Xi's heart clenched instantly.
Has Feng Jue's condition worsened?
But she's not a doctor, so there's no point in her going; she'd only cause more trouble.
Besides Feng Jue, none of the Feng family members welcomed her. Feng Jue isn't very mature in matters of the heart, nor is he capable of properly protecting her, so why bother?
Having made up her mind, Su Xi said seriously, "Qingqian, whatever happens is none of my business anymore. You don't need to say anything more. I won't change my mind."
Seeing Su Xi's expression of detachment and indifference, Ye Qingqian suddenly realized what was going on and chuckled, "Don't worry, it's not about Feng Jue."
What is that?
Ye Qingqian leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear.
Su Xi was shocked and deeply moved. She looked at Ye Qingqian in disbelief, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, why would I lie to you? You've been asking me to investigate, haven't you? I've already given you the results. You can decide for yourself."
"Is there even a question? Of course... we'll reschedule."
Su Xi immediately changed her flight to another one, which was taking off immediately. She almost missed it.
Watching Su Xi walk into the boarding gate, and then watching the plane bound for overseas take off into the blue sky, Ye Qingqian felt as if she had been in another world.
She was lost in thought for a while before turning and leaving.
The next day, Liu Cheng dragged his heavy steps into the ward.
Although the doctor repeatedly said that Feng Jue's condition had stabilized, Su Xi's departure without saying goodbye was too sensitive to broach the subject. He simply dared not bring it up.
Who knows what kind of storm it will unleash?
Knock on the door and enter. Feng Jue is working on documents in his hospital bed.
The big boss doesn't allow anyone to disturb him when he's processing documents. Liu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, stood by with his hands at his sides, keeping his eyes down and trying his best to minimize his presence.
It's best to work on the documents until dark; better to die later than sooner, and delay as long as possible.
The thought had barely crossed his mind when Feng Jue finished processing the documents, looked up at him, and asked, "What is it?"
Liu Cheng's back stiffened instantly, and he stammered, "The anonymous envelope that Miss Su... sent was found to be mailed by Feng Qinyue. The letter was given to her by Liu Yufeng. I also asked Liu Yufeng, and she said it was given by Feng Hanhai."
Feng Jue's eyes flickered; it seemed the car accident was actually related to his good older brother.
However, this evidence is superfluous. Feng Hanhai has indeed been drained by wine and women, and his IQ is far worse than before.
They've kept to themselves all these years, but I never expected him to make things difficult for me. So don't blame him for disregarding our brotherhood.
Feng Hanhai has had enough of the good life he's had in the capital all these years.
"Okay, I understand." Seeing that Liu Cheng showed no sign of leaving, Feng Jue raised an eyebrow. "Is there anything else?"
Liu Cheng stammered, "There's one more thing..."
