Chapter 242 Performing the Rites of the Duke of Zhou
“Fine, I, Feng Jue, swear that as long as you perform the surgery to save Luo Chen, there will be absolutely no possibility between me and Su Xi. If I break this oath, Su Xi will not live past 30, and my child with Su Xi will also die young.”
Feng Jinchen was stunned when he saw that Feng Jue actually dared to make such a vicious oath.
Su Xi and Feng Jue both looked at Feng Jinchen, whose eyes darted around uncertainly as he racked his brains, trying to find a plausible reason to break his promise.
Unfortunately, the more anxious you are, the more your mind goes blank.
He was so anxious that large beads of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.
Just at this critical moment, a series of hurried and chaotic footsteps came.
Liu Yufeng and Feng Qinyue rushed over, their faces both looking increasingly unfriendly.
"Mom, what brings you here?"
Liu Yufeng glared at Su Xi with utter disdain, as if she were looking at a lump of mud on the ground. "If I hadn't come, you would have been fooled by this woman."
She doesn't love you at all. If donating bone marrow has any negative effects on your health, wouldn't you have to watch her run off with another man? Are you really willing to accept that?
If something happens to you, who will take care of me in my old age? This ungrateful wretch who can never be tamed?
Liu Yufeng glared fiercely at Su Xi, "Give up on that idea. Now that I'm here, I won't let my son fall for your Japanese devils' tricks."
Feng Qinyue spat at Su Xi, "Su Xi, you're so cunning and heartless. A woman as scheming and treacherous as you would probably be a match for any fraud gang. My brother was scammed by you because he loves you, how could you bear to take his life? I really misjudged you. Bah!"
For the first time, Feng Jinchen looked at the mother and daughter with new respect and silently gave them a thumbs up in his heart.
But she still said, "Mom, sister, Xixi isn't that kind of person. You don't know the inside story."
“I don’t care about any inside story or anything, you can’t donate bone marrow. Otherwise, I’ll let the old man and woman be the judge.”
Liu Yufeng felt increasingly frightened as she thought about it.
If Wang Dong hadn't called her, she wouldn't have known that her son was willing to risk his life for this woman's brother. It's simply outrageous.
Su Xi hadn't expected things to take another turn for the worse. Now wasn't the time to argue, so she could only patiently and gently explain.
"Ms. Liu, Qinyue, you can ask any expert. Donating bone marrow is different now than before. It's very safe and has almost no impact on the body. It even has benefits, just like donating blood."
"You make it sound so easy. If there are benefits, why don't you offer them? Why doesn't Feng Jue offer them? You two are exchanging glances, but you're treating my son like a sucker, taking all the benefits for yourself. Is there such a good thing in the world? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
"That's right, I think you two are plotting to kill my brother so you can live happily ever after and take over the Feng Group. You are so vicious."
Su Xi simply couldn't reason with them. "Jin Chen, are you sure you want to let them continue making trouble like this?"
Feng Jinchen choked.
Feng Jue scoffed coldly, "Feng Jinchen, I've done everything you asked me to do. You want to go back on your word? Do you know the consequences of playing games with me?"
Feng Jinchen looked troubled, as if he wanted to donate but couldn't. "Then what do you want me to do? They are my mother and sister, I can't..."
Before he could finish speaking, several bodyguards in black rushed out from behind him.
Feng Jue said coldly, "Lock them up until the surgery is over."
"Uncle, what's wrong with you... how could you..." Feng Jinchen was shocked. Before he could even organize his thoughts, Liu Yufeng and her daughter had already been carried away by the bodyguards like chickens.
The mother and daughter were naturally unwilling to be taken away like this and wanted to shout and curse, but as soon as they opened their mouths, a wad of towel was shoved in, and they could only sob and be forked.
Feng Jue swept his cold gaze over, "Nephew, please."
Feng Jinchen had exhausted all his options. In fact, he knew very well that a bone marrow transplant would have almost no impact on his body. The probability of an accident was even lower than the probability of being hit by a car while picking up a package.
But he was unwilling to give up, and always felt uncertain.
Finally, with a painstaking and earnest expression, she said, "Xixi, the reason I'm refusing isn't because I'm afraid of death, but because you make me uneasy. I always feel that you want to use me as a stepping stone to get closer to Feng Jue, and that you'll discard me after you've served your purpose. I really don't feel safe."
Su Xi pursed her lips. "What do you want? I'll do whatever I can to help."
"Of course you can do it. It's very simple. Right here in this hospital, find a room, and after we've finished our lovemaking, we'll go for the surgery immediately."
I have only one small request: I want my uncle to stand guard at the door for us and not let anyone disturb us.
Su Xi's expression changed.
Feng Jue's expression instantly turned extremely cold and stern.
"Feng Jinchen, you're courting death."
"You can't afford the price of angering me."
The man can transform into a terrifying being in an instant, sending chills down one's spine.
Feng Jinchen swallowed hard, his neck stiffening. "Only in this way will Uncle finally give up completely. Isn't that right?"
He then looked at Su Xi, "Xi Xi, this matter is very simple and won't take long. You made so many promises and swore oaths, now is the time for you to prove it to me."
If I continue to make excuses afterward, may I be unable to have sexual relations, live in poverty, lose everything, die a horrible death, and have no descendants. Is that enough?
Seeing that Feng Jinchen was serious this time, Su Xi remained silent for a full minute before finally nodding, "Okay, I believe you."
"Where is my uncle?"
Su Xi dared not look the man in the eye, her voice barely audible, "President Feng, we've already wasted too much time. Please agree."
The incomparably handsome man concealed the loneliness in his eyes. After a long while, his beautiful lips trembled slightly, and his voice was cold and mechanical, "Fine."
After finding a VIP ward, Feng Jinchen bent down and picked Su Xi up. "Uncle, then I'll have to trouble you. You know, this kind of thing requires complete focus, and I don't want anything to spoil our enjoyment."
"roll!"
Feng Jinchen smiled, the more the man's defenses crumbled, the happier and more accomplished he felt. He chuckled and kicked the door shut behind him.
Time passed minute by minute, each second feeling like an eternity.
Finally, the man, whose back was always as straight as a pine tree, suddenly hunched over, his head drooping limply, and his hands tightly covering his ears.
A tremendous tremor shook the earth, and Feng Jue blankly raised his eyes, his gaze suddenly flickering.
A large group of people walked in aggressively. Leading them were the elderly woman and man, followed by servants and several bodyguards in black.
"Where's Jinchen? Did he really have surgery? Feng Jue, that's your own nephew! How could you harm your family for such a stranger?"
"The surgery might not even be needed yet; there's still time. Someone, break down the door!"
Feng Jue moved his lips, his mind in turmoil, and finally explained, "Mom and Dad, the surgery hasn't been performed yet. It's just Feng Jinchen and Su Xi inside,... they're having sex."
He didn't want to do it either. But he knew Su Xi wanted him to.
"Feng Jue, do you really think we're senile, that we're fools? Break down the door!"
Feng Jue tried to stop him, but found himself completely powerless, his fists as soft as cotton. He could only watch helplessly as the black-clad bodyguard kicked open the door and broke in.
"ah-"
"Who goes there? Get the hell out of here... Ah, grandpa and grandma, it's you..."
Seeing that it wasn't surgery, but rather that kind of thing happening in a hospital room, everyone froze on the spot.
They stared at each other, neither of them knowing what had happened.
Su Xi was already numb; she knew things wouldn't go so smoothly.
Fortunately, she was dressed neatly, while the man next to her, who didn't even have a bitter tea seed, was in a rather miserable state.
Feng Jinchen's face was so ugly it was almost dripping ink. Luckily, it wasn't a critical moment, otherwise his lifelong happiness would have been ruined here.
The man's eyes were fierce. "Aren't you leaving yet?"
The servants and bodyguards hurriedly retreated, leaving only the old man and the old woman, one with a trembling beard and the other hitting her chest.
"Absurd, utterly absurd! Su Xi, what are you doing? Did you drug me to trick my grandson into donating bone marrow?" The old lady was panting with anger.
What kind of medicine is so potent that it made her beloved grandson lose control in this situation?
Feng Jinchen twitched his lips, his teeth aching slightly. "Grandma, it has nothing to do with Su Xi. It was my idea."
The man's explanation left the elderly couple utterly bewildered.
What kind of thought process is this?
Feng Jinchen blushed with embarrassment. "If you want to do it, just do it. What's so strange about that? Besides, Su Xi and I have already registered our marriage."
"What? What did you say? You got your marriage certificate again? No, why didn't you discuss something this big with your family? Are you kidding me?"
The old man thumped his cane on the ground, his fierce eyes filled with a desire to reduce Su Xi to dust. "Su Xi, you...you...I've never heard of such a despicable and wanton woman as you. Don't worry, even if you get married 100 times, I will never acknowledge you as a member of the Feng family."
"Feng Jinchen, make her leave with nothing right now, or you can forget about being the CEO of Feng's Group."
Upon hearing this, Feng Jinchen's face turned deathly pale. Whether from shock or anger, he couldn't utter a single word.
Su Xi lowered her eyes, her fingers clenching tightly. She knew perfectly well that with things having escalated so much today, Feng Jinchen would never donate bone marrow. She should have known this sooner.
Su Xi pursed her lips, "Master..." Meeting the old man's murderous gaze, she swallowed the word back, "No matter what, get Jinchen dressed first. You all go out first. This is over 20 floors, you can't just let us run away!"
"Get dressed and get out here right now." The old man then looked at Su Xi, "Su Xi, put away your tricks. You're still too green to cause trouble in the Feng family. Don't try to brainwash my grandson. If you don't come out in 5 minutes, I'll kick the door down."
After saying that, he slammed the door and left.
Feng Jue slumped on the bench, feeling utterly powerless, as if his bones were melting.
But he can't fall yet; there's still a tough battle ahead. Without him, Su Xi will be completely devoured by this group, leaving not even a trace of her bones.
Seeing his son's decadence and his grandson's debauchery, the old man wished he could tear Su Xi to pieces.
Su Xi is still the center of attention right now, so he can't touch her yet. In two or three years, he'll definitely throw this woman who's causing so much trouble at home into the open sea to feed the sharks.
In less than three minutes, Feng Jinchen came out fully dressed, followed by Su Xi.
