Chapter 170 Tonight I'll Show You Whether I'm Up to It or Not
"Alright, that's straightforward. Then I'll tell you. Feng Jue has been searching for someone for decades, and you could say she's his ideal woman."
He's been looking for someone even during the time we've been dating, perhaps even more frantically than before. So don't delude yourself into thinking that the person he's looking for is you.
Luo Anya is a substitute for the white moonlight. You are just a substitute for a substitute. Even if the substitute becomes the real person, it won't be your turn.
Furthermore, he's had a one-night stand with another girl in the last three months. Without a doubt, that girl looks like his "white moonlight" (ideal love). You're just one of his many backup options.
Crack!
The pen cap in her hand was crushed by Su Xi.
A stand-in? The search intensified during your relationship with her? Is it because seeing her makes you miss that woman even more?
What does he really think of her?
"Actually, there's one more thing..."
"You don't need to say anything more." Su Xi's face turned cold, her voice resolute. "I will have nothing to do with him. Even if every woman in the world is having an affair with him, you don't need to tell me anymore."
Si Beichen puffed out his cheeks. He actually wanted to say that Su Xi's mother's car accident might be related to Feng Jue, which he had slowly deduced from various clues.
It's really not right to talk about this, but he'll keep it to himself.
"Alright, I'm saying this for the benefit of all three of you. I'm not a bad person." Si Beichen also felt that he had been too mean today and wanted to say a few words to comfort Su Xi when his phone rang.
When I answered the call, I accidentally pressed the speakerphone button, and a strong, energetic voice came through, with a tone that was exactly like Si Beicheng's middle-aged classic.
"You brat, believe me or not, I'll spray you to death with a mouthful of salt water. Get your ass home right now, it's all because of you that the relevant departments are investigating the company, you bastard..."
Si Beichen picked at his ear, quickly turned off the speakerphone, glanced at Su Xi with a somewhat embarrassed expression, and hurried away.
Su Xi opened Weibo and saw a flood of curses directed at Si Beicheng.
A large number of fans turned against him, boycotting "Ba Ling" and all of Si Beicheng's works.
A large number of ordinary people who don't follow celebrities have turned into octopus-like keyboard warriors out of resentment towards the rich, wishing that the government would immediately investigate and seize the Si Group.
Su Xi was terrified. If this trend continued, not only Si Beicheng, but the entire Si family would be implicated.
After thinking for a moment, he found Si Beicheng's contact information in his address book and sent him a message: "If there is anything you need me for, I will definitely vouch for you."
After all, Si Beichen had a reason for doing what he did. And that reason was Su Xi.
I thought this message would disappear into thin air, but to my surprise, the other side replied quickly with just a cool little emoji wearing sunglasses.
Su Xi was speechless. It was truly their misfortune to have such a descendant in the Si family. She replied, "If it really comes to that, I will explain everything publicly."
The other end sent a voice message: "A man can't say no. Don't you believe me?"
"I'll show you whether I'm up to the task or not by tonight at the latest."
Su Xi didn't want to deal with this idiot anymore. Si Beicheng was Feng Jue's best friend after all, and he definitely couldn't be a fool. He probably already had a plan in mind.
After finishing her work, Su Xi packed up and left work.
When they went downstairs, they saw Shen Feier and Xie Qingqing. Xie Qingqing's eyes were unfriendly, and Shen Feier's eyes were like knives.
If looks could kill, Su Xi would already be riddled with wounds.
Xie Qingqing was about to make things difficult when her follower tugged at her from behind.
Upon seeing Tan Rongzhi, the two women with ferocious expressions immediately abandoned their serene facades, gave Su Xi a warning glance, and left in another direction.
"Ms. Su, about what happened online..."
"It's all fake, we will clarify."
"That's good. But those bored netizens have dug up your identity, and now a large number of paparazzi are taking pictures of you. Why don't you just get in my car and leave?"
Su Xi pursed her lips. It was a bit inappropriate to ride in Tan Rongzhi's car, but those netizens, especially Shen Feier's crazy fans, were capable of anything—splashing paint, splashing sulfuric acid—it was practically impossible to defend against.
"Okay, thank you."
Watching Su Xi leave in Tan Rongzhi's car with such an air of nonchalance, Shen Feier was furious. How could all men be so blind? How could she, Shen Feier, be inferior to that bumpkin?
In a place where there were no reporters, Tan Rongzhi put Su Xi down.
Just as Su Xi got into the car, Feng Jue called. She didn't answer, but muted the phone and let it hang up automatically.
After several hits, it finally stopped.
Su Xi picked up her phone and found the photo. In the photo, Feng Jue lay quietly on Luo Anya's chest, his long, thick eyelashes casting silhouettes on his eyelids, a picture of steel softened by gentle touch.
Luo Anya wrapped her arms around the man's neck, her heart and eyes filled with the man in her arms who made her heart flutter.
Su Xi unconsciously let out a soft chuckle.
So it wasn't that they were both drunk, but that they were both in love; she was a complete joke.
Feng Jinchen called, "Where are you? The family gathering at the old house is all waiting for you today. You really have quite the airs."
"I'll be there right away."
A snort came from the other end of the line, "I thought you were with Feng Jue. What, he dumped you?"
Su Xi didn't say anything and hung up immediately.
When we arrived at the old house, the food was already laid out on the table, and everyone was already there.
Seeing that Su Xi dared to arrive late, Liu Yufeng was furious and instinctively wanted to act like a mother-in-law, but Wu Yaoyao pulled her back.
Today is Su Xi's public execution. If Liu Yufeng, that wicked mother-in-law, scolds her harshly, it will only make the old lady more sympathetic to Su Xi, and she won't gain anything from it. Liu Yufeng is simply foolish.
After being pulled back by Wu Yaoyao, Liu Yufeng didn't say much, only glaring fiercely at Su Xi.
The servants laid out all sorts of delicacies on the table, with a single fish ball costing eight thousand dollars—an extreme display of extravagance—yet no one touched their chopsticks.
The old man glanced at the old woman.
The old lady glanced at Su Xi, her voice calm yet authoritative, "There are no outsiders here, and everyone knows the situation perfectly well, so I'll be frank. I don't agree with Feng Jue and Su Xi."
Liu Yufeng's smug smile was on her face when the old lady caught her red-handed, and she lowered her eyes sheepishly.
“Mom, Dad can’t stop Su Xi and me, and neither can you. If you’re afraid of gossip, Xiao Xi and I can go abroad. We’ll come to see you during holidays.”
Hearing her son say that she couldn't either, the old lady still felt a pang of sadness. It seems he really has forgotten his mother now that he has a daughter-in-law.
The old lady's tone turned cold. "We can't, but Su Xi can. Xiao Xi, don't be afraid or shy. Let's talk things out today and prevent any future troubles."
His words implied something about Su Xi.
Su Xi felt it was unnecessary. Because she had already seen through this man.
I disagree.
Su Xi's resolute words were earth-shattering.
Feng Jue's face darkened. "Mom, Dad, are you threatening her? Or are you?"
The man's cold gaze swept over Liu Yufeng and her group, like that of a monarch looking down upon the world. The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"No one threatened me. I've never liked you, not at all. You're the one who pressured me, harassed me, and bothered me."
Feng Jue's pupils contracted, and the surrounding temperature plummeted to below zero.
Feng Jinchen, who was closest to the victim, couldn't help but shudder, but his eyes were full of schadenfreude.
Everyone watched with bated breath, eager for a good show.
