Chapter 67 When She Doesn't Exist
“Miss Su, I’ll get straight to the point. I’m a distant relative of President Feng. If President Feng is happy, we’ll all benefit. If you agree to be with President Feng, I’ll donate bone marrow to your brother. Miss Su is a smart woman, I believe you understand what I mean.”
Su Xi's pupils contracted, and her hand holding the coffee trembled slightly.
It's unclear what the two discussed, but Feng Wenzhou left satisfied in the end.
Su Xi returned to the residential area and saw Feng Jinchen just coming out of the building. He seemed to realize she wasn't home, and he was very anxious. He leaned against his luxury car and took out his phone to make a call with one hand.
Noticing her phone vibrate, Su Xi answered it.
"Honey, you should be home by now. Where have you been?"
"Look back."
Feng Jinchen frowned slightly. When he turned around and his eyes met Su Xi's, his gentle and handsome face was first surprised, then filled with a deep smile and surprise.
Although the woman's face was expressionless, he felt that the gentle and virtuous woman seemed to be returning.
The man strode over and reached out to put his arm around the woman, but Su Xi subtly avoided him.
Feng Jinchen didn't mind. Now that Su Xi had finally softened up, he had to make a good impression.
The man looked at the woman with a smile, "Xixi, Wang Dong just told me that Luo Chen has found a suitable match, so my mistake can finally be made up for. Don't worry, I will never dare to do it again."
"Yeah?"
Seeing the surprise and doubt in the woman's eyes, the man quickly took her hand and led her to the car. "Come on, I'll take you to see Luo Chen, and then we'll go see Grandma later."
In hospitals and sanatoriums, the men were all cheerful and busy, attending to every need.
Seeing that the woman finally gave him a smile, Feng Jinchen went even harder, not only making Old Madam Su beam with joy, but also making Luo Chen look at him differently.
It was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening when I took Su Xi back to her apartment complex.
“Xixi, if a couple lives separately, people will gossip. I already know I was wrong, do you want to…” Feng Jinchen said carefully, trying to find the right words, “Don’t worry, even if you don’t want to move back, I will never threaten you with Luo Chen again.”
Su Xi lowered her eyes, her fingers unconsciously twirling, and slowly uttered a single word, "Okay."
What? Feng Jinchen could hardly believe his ears, and almost cried with joy.
After enduring so many days of torment, Su Xi finally changed her mind, and he had finally made it through.
"I only decided to move back because I didn't want to cause trouble or worry my family. I won't let Wu Yaoyao's matter go so easily, and I haven't forgiven you yet."
A crack appeared on the man's ecstatic face, but being able to move it back was already a big step forward, and it wouldn't be long before Su Xi was completely at peace with that matter.
"Okay, I will definitely do my best."
Su Xi nodded and smiled faintly, "You can go back now. I need to rest."
“…Okay.” Since Su Xi was already planning to forgive him, he wasn’t in a hurry. Feng Jinchen gently hugged the woman, then turned and went downstairs.
The woman's face turned cold the moment the door closed. She had to return to the villa for her brother's bone marrow transplant, and it would also make it easier to investigate the truth about her mother's past.
No matter who it is, she won't let them go.
The next day, when Yin Liang arrived at the Feng family, he avoided Su Xi whenever he saw her.
When they went to the cafeteria, Mengqi and her best friend saw Su Xi and avoided her from a distance, not even daring to make eye contact.
Sitting in a corner almost diagonally opposite Su Xi, Lai Mengqi's eyes were dark, and she couldn't eat a single bite.
Her best friend whispered, "Let her be smug for a while. When she falls into our hands, we'll definitely get back at her for that humiliation a thousandfold."
Lai Mengqi smiled slightly before picking up her chopsticks.
Today was the day for a family gathering at the old house. After work, Su Xi received a message from Feng Jinchen, "Shall I pick you up at the company gate?"
Su Xi chuckled self-deprecatingly. This man still didn't plan to make their relationship public. What a coincidence, she was the same way.
Su Xi replied, "Let's go to the usual place."
Once in the car, the man grabbed her hand, and in the next instant, a card appeared in her palm.
"It's still your birthday."
The man started the car with a smile.
Su Xi's long eyelashes fluttered, and she lowered her eyes without saying a word. Compared to the AI patent, this amount of money was just a drop in the ocean, and she had no reason not to accept it.
As soon as the car stopped at the old house, Su Xi saw Feng Jue getting out of the Phantom through the car window, and her back stiffened involuntarily.
The man had long, slender legs and handsome, slightly furrowed eyebrows. When he saw Feng Jinchen, he paused, glancing casually at the passenger seat.
Although she couldn't see inside through the glass, Su Xi still subconsciously avoided those deep eyes.
The next second, the car door was opened, and Feng Jinchen smiled and reached out his hand, "Wife, get out of the car."
In an instant, Su Xi felt enveloped by a gaze as sharp as an ice blade. She lowered her eyes to avoid meeting that gaze and naturally reached out her hand, placing it in the palm of that large hand.
Feng Jue's cold gaze froze on the clasped hands, and the oppressive atmosphere around him intensified. He said nothing and turned to leave.
Seeing the man slink away out of the corner of his eye, Feng Jinchen was extremely pleased with himself. He pulled Su Xi and quickened his pace, saying, "Uncle, wait for us."
He deliberately emphasized "we," his tone full of provocation.
He thought Feng Jue wouldn't pay any attention, but the man suddenly stopped and turned around. A sharp gaze shot over, making Feng Jinchen's smug smile freeze and his momentum weaken.
"What, you don't know the way? Are you idiots?"
Feng Jinchen, "..."
For a fleeting second, he felt a pang of self-reproach for his sharp tongue.
"No, let's just talk." Feng Jinchen chuckled awkwardly.
"What are you saying? Tell me you don't dare to pay the ransom to redeem your own wife alone? Or tell me your illegitimate child is due in a few months?"
Feng Jinchen's face turned pale, and his expression darkened. He was about to retort when the man snorted coldly and left.
Su Xi kept her head down the whole time, but she could feel that her uncle's gaze never fell on her, as if she didn't exist.
The tone just now was nothing more than an elder reprimanding a wayward junior, without any other ulterior motives.
She unconsciously pursed her lower lip, a strange feeling of unease welling up inside her.
She quickly suppressed this strange emotion and looked up calmly at the man's receding figure.
When Liu Yufeng and Feng Qinyue saw Su Xi, they couldn't believe their eyes.
Feng Jinchen had always turned a blind eye to this before, but now, in front of the two of them, he pulled Su Xi into his arms with a cold and serious expression. "I'll say it one last time: I won't allow anyone to bully my wife, and neither of you are an exception."
The mother and daughter were so angry they were practically scrambling to their sides. Feng Qinyue tried to say something, but Liu Yufeng pulled her away.
There will naturally be people to deal with Su Xi today; they don't need to be the ones to stick their necks out.
