Chapter 380 Su Mo was the one who shared a room with him for three years.
The moment her hand was raised halfway in the air, Wu Yaoyao realized that a number of onlookers had gathered around and were whispering among themselves.
That look in his eyes was even more professional and gossipy than the look in the eyes of the village intelligence agency.
For the sake of her image, Wu Yaoyao had no choice but to put down her hand and change the fight from physical to verbal.
She lowered her voice, "Su Xi, what else do you have to say? You shameless little bitch, I'll make sure everyone knows how vile you are sooner or later."
Su Xi's face was icy cold. "This is due to an allergic reaction to food. Don't make baseless accusations and tarnish my reputation."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yaoyao was first stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, laughing so hard her stomach cramped.
Having finally straightened up, she pointed at Su Xi's nose and cursed.
"Su Xi, are you out of your mind? How dare you come up with such a lame excuse? Is your brain made of mush?"
Su Xi said coldly, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Feng Jue."
When Feng Jue was mentioned, Wu Yaoyao choked up.
There was one thing she had to admit: Feng Jue was absolutely incapable of being forced by Su Xi.
Whether it's physical or mental.
There's no way Su Xi, that idiot, could successfully drug Feng Jue.
As for the difference in physical strength, even ninety-nine Su Xis wouldn't be enough to defeat Feng Jue.
Therefore, Su Xi's sausage lips were most likely caused by Feng Jue.
The mere thought of this possibility, the thought of a god-like, noble man condescending to favor such a scumbag, filled Wu Yaoyao with a burning desire to tear Su Xi, that hypocritical woman, to pieces.
"You dare to do it but not admit it; you're a disgrace to us women."
Wu Yaoyao looked down at Su Xi, genuinely despising her for the first time.
Although she used to say how terrible she was, she knew perfectly well what was going on in her heart.
Putting aside everything else, the fact that she could completely manipulate Feng Jinchen and his nephew speaks volumes about her abilities.
The facts of today are obvious; it must have been Feng Jue who took the initiative.
Who is Feng Jue? If he were to stoop down for a woman, it wouldn't be simply because he was moved by her, but because he was truly in love with her.
With Feng Jue as her powerful backer, what does Su Xi have to fear?
Now she's timid and secretive, acting like a stinking rat in a sewer, full of illicit feelings. Wu Yaoyao really doesn't know what to say to her.
"Since you enjoy masochism so much, then I'll grant your wish." Wu Yaoyao lowered her voice, her eyes full of threat. "Come with me."
There are too many people and too much chatter here. Once she goes to the restroom, it becomes her domain.
Su Xi knew what Wu Yaoyao meant from just one look.
It's clearly another threat using the child in her belly.
Su Xi's eyes dimmed, and without saying a word, she lowered her gaze and followed.
Wu Yaoyao knew Su Xi would follow, but she didn't expect her to catch up so easily.
A surge of joy welled up inside her, and she couldn't suppress the smile playing on her lips. Once they were in the empty restroom, she was determined to beat this hypocritical woman—who could easily have anything but pretended to care about nothing—to a pulp.
However, Su Xi stopped after walking only a few steps.
Wu Yaoyao frowned, glancing sideways at Su Xi. Her fox-like, arrogant, and shrewd eyes gave Su Xi's stomach a triumphant look, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Fortunately, she didn't try to get rid of the bastard in Su Xi's belly, otherwise, what would she have to use to threaten her again and again so easily?
Su Xi remained indifferent when she met Wu Yaoyao's threatening gaze.
The reason she left with Wu Yaoyao was that she didn't like being stared at by so many eyes like light bulbs.
Now that the corner is just right, she certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to follow Wu Yaoyao to the bathroom.
"What?" Wu Yaoyao raised an eyebrow, crossed her arms leisurely, and looked at Su Xi as if she were watching a clown.
Any mother would value the baby in her womb more than her own life, and Su Xi would never dare to disobey her.
However, she had clearly miscalculated.
Su Xi's voice was calm, yet utterly cold, "Wu Yaoyao, the matter with the old man is already my limit. If you continue to threaten me with that matter, don't blame me for fighting to the death."
Tell me, how many people would believe what you say, you murderer who killed the old man with your own hands?
Even if I temporarily lose custody of the children, I have the ability to find a way to get custody back. What about you?
Once they find out that you pushed the old man off the cliff, do you think you'll still have a chance to live?
When Su Xi uttered her first words, Wu Yaoyao was on high alert, her eyes darting around as she desperately tried to signal her to stop talking, warning her that someone might be overheard.
But Su Xi did as she pleased and directly revealed what she had done, which frightened Wu Yaoyao so much that she broke out in a cold sweat.
Fearing that Su Xi might continue talking and cause others to overhear something unpleasant, Wu Yaoyao, with a fierce but weak expression, said, "You've got guts, we'll see," and hurriedly left.
Because he sprained his ankle, he walked with a limp, but very fast, as if a wolf was chasing him.
Su Xi watched until Wu Yaoyao's figure completely disappeared from sight, with no possibility of her returning, before she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It has to be said that Wu Yaoyao truly grasped her weakness.
She'd go to any lengths, except for the child in her womb.
Luckily, she was quick-witted, and Wu Yaoyao was scared away.
She went to the restroom, took a mask out of her bag, put it on, and then left in another direction.
Those watching the spectacle had all sorts of strange looks in their eyes, staring intently at Su Xi as she left before huddling together and whispering.
"Based on my many years of experience as a woman, Su Xi's lips are definitely swollen from being kissed by some random man."
"My God, this is too shocking. She has such an innocent face, I never expected that she would do such dirty and despicable things behind the scenes."
"You don't understand, do you? Those men like women who seem innocent on the outside but are wild on the inside. Even if you told us her tricks, we couldn't learn them."
"Haha, who says otherwise? Look at the handprint on her face, all white and round, does she think it's cute?"
"What's so cute about it? It's filthy. Wu Yaoyao is a woman after all. How could her body swell up so badly after being slapped a few times? It must have been from that other guy she met before."
"I think so too. Some men just have those weird fetishes. Tsk tsk, I have to say, she deserves to earn that kind of money. After all, we all have some sense of shame, right?"
"Yeah, I feel disgusted and demeaned to attend the same ball as that kind of shameless woman."
If it weren't for the fact that she looks somewhat like Miss Su Mo, and I was afraid Miss Su Mo would overthink things, I would have had someone throw this filthy woman in the trash long ago.
Trash should stay where trash should stay, right? Hahaha…
Even after Su Xi had walked a long way, she could still faintly hear various sarcastic and strange voices behind her.
Su Xi didn't take these mild verbal attacks to heart at all.
She has many more important and meaningful things to do.
Moreover, she felt that she didn't have much time left in Country Z.
When we returned to the villa, the living room was brightly lit.
As soon as Su Xi entered the room, she saw a man in a sharp black suit sitting on a black leather sofa.
Feng Jingnian was clearly waiting for her.
Su Xi was somewhat surprised, but thinking of the injury on her face, she avoided the man's gaze. After changing her shoes, she headed for the nearest stairs, intending to go upstairs.
Seeing that the woman still didn't want to talk to him, Feng Jingnian smiled wryly and curled the corners of his lips.
He doesn't like to force people.
Just as he was about to look away, he suddenly noticed that the woman's cheeks were a little red and swollen, and his expression changed instantly.
He jumped up from the sofa with a "whoosh".
Hearing a series of steady, powerful footsteps, they knew that Feng Jingnian had caught up.
Su Xi instinctively quickened her pace, only to bump into a hard, hot chest.
She never expected Feng Jingnian to suddenly appear in front of her, so she bumped into him squarely.
She almost fell because she was unsteady on her feet, but Feng Jingnian quickly grabbed her waist and pulled her up.
After stabilizing the area, he withdrew his hand.
With a grave expression and cold eyes, he asked, "What happened to your face?"
Su Xi's eyes flickered. "Nothing's wrong, my face is just a little red, maybe I put on too much blush. Ah—"
Before she could finish speaking, the man gently removed the mask from her face.
She suddenly felt a chill on her face and couldn't help but gasp.
The moment Feng Jingnian saw the crisscrossing handprints on the woman's face, a dark and turbulent vortex filled the depths of his eyes.
But when his gaze fell on the woman's swollen lips, his eyes flickered, and he was immediately stunned.
He only paused for a moment before casually shifting his gaze back to the woman's face, and asked in a deep voice,
Who hit him?
Su Xi moved her lips, but the pain in her mouth told her that what she should explain now was not the slap mark on her face, but the swelling on her lips.
"My lips are allergic, I'm allergic to crayfish."
The moment she finished speaking, Su Xi's nails dug into her palms with nervousness.
When she first gave this reason, Wu Yaoyao almost burst out laughing.
This time, although she added specific allergens and tried her best to make subtle facial expressions, she still wasn't confident.
Just as her mind was racing with wild thoughts, wondering how she would smooth things over if Feng Jingnian didn't believe her, the gentle and refined man softly hummed in agreement.
Does this mean they believe it?!
Su Xi breathed a huge sigh of relief.
She knew that Wu Yaoyao was prejudiced against her, so whatever she said, whether true or false, was definitely a lie.
She added, "I've already applied the ointment. It should be fine in a few days."
"Um."
Su Xi looked up at the man scrutinizingly, and once she was sure he had no suspicions, she felt completely relieved.
Otherwise, she really couldn't afford to lose face.
She had just breathed a sigh of relief when Feng Jingnian spoke with a cold expression.
"My lips are allergic, but what's wrong with my face?"
"It was...it was my fault, I fell by accident."
Feng Jingnian smiled, a smile tinged with bitterness and self-deprecation.
"How many slap marks can you get on your face if you fall?"
Su Xi fell silent.
The handprints on her face were clearly visible; even a blind person could tell she'd been slapped. She couldn't very well say she got them at a tattoo parlor, could she?
"Who hit you? If you don't tell me, I'll go check the security footage."
Su Xi froze. If Feng Jingnian were to check the surveillance footage, he would definitely see Feng Jue coming out of her private room.
With a man's intelligence, he could surely guess that her lips were related to the seal.
How will she ever face anyone again?
Su Xi's attitude turned cold. "You don't need to worry about my affairs, and I've already taken care of them myself. You're not in good health either, so you just need to take care of yourself."
Feng Jingnian remained unmoved, speaking calmly yet with an undeniable authority.
"Just do what the monk does."
You are still my wife in name only. Their actions against you are a slap in my face, and naturally I will pursue this matter to the end.
Su Xi clenched her fist and glared coldly at the man.
Seeing that Su Xi still didn't want to talk, Feng Jingnian took out his phone and slid his long, jade-like fingers across the contacts.
Seeing that Feng Jingnian was determined to check the surveillance footage, Su Xi quickly grabbed his hands, her voice turning even colder.
"I'm telling you, that's right. Aren't you just making things worse and embarrassing me even more?"
Feng Jingnian looked at her and said, "Go ahead."
Feeling uncomfortable being stared at so intently by the man, Su Xi felt as if she had been forced into this situation.
Seeing the man's finger hovering over the dial key, ready to make a call at any moment, Su Xi could only reluctantly utter four words.
"It's Wu Yaoyao."
Her voice was very soft, but Feng Jingnian heard it clearly. His handsome face instantly turned as cold as ice, and the surrounding air seemed to drop to freezing point.
Half an hour later,
Su Xi was already sitting in the car when the driver took her to Feng Jinchen's villa.
Feng Jingnian remained silent throughout the entire process. After getting out of the car, he walked around to the other side, opened the car door, and forcefully pulled Su Xi's hand. The two walked side by side into the villa's hall.
In the hall, Feng Jinchen and Wu Yaoyao had obviously received the news and were already waiting.
When Feng Jinchen saw Su Xi, his eyes were filled with mixed emotions, but in the end, they were replaced by resentment and disgust.
He gets angry whenever he sees Su Xi.
It was all because of her that Su Mo forbade him from attending the banquet, allowing only Wu Yaoyao to attend. This caused him to miss so many opportunities to network with powerful figures.
Of all people to look like, Su Xi has to resemble Su Mo, the pampered daughter of the Huangtian Group. Doesn't she even know if she's worthy of him?
Feng Jinchen had no idea that Su Mo didn't want to see him simply because she felt guilty.
If Feng Jinchen knew that the woman he had shared a bed with for three years was actually Su Mo, heaven knows what kind of expression and feeling he would have.
As soon as Su Xi entered the living room, she noticed the unprecedented hostility emanating from Feng Jinchen.
Su Xi didn't care.
She naturally didn't need to respond to the hostility inflicted on her by people she didn't care about.
She's not that free.
When Feng Jinchen realized that Su Xi hadn't even glanced at him once from beginning to end, as if their past relationship of spending every day together didn't exist, he got angry.
Originally, out of consideration for their three years of intimate relations, he wanted to say a few words in Su Xi's defense.
Now that people don't care, he doesn't have the inclination to fawn over them.
He would never stop Wu Yaoyao from doing whatever she wanted.
Not only that, he also waved his hand, and a group of bodyguards in black immediately rushed out and surrounded Feng Jingnian and Su Xi.
Su Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she glared resentfully at Feng Jingnian. Was he here to demand an explanation or to deliver himself to his death?
