Chapter 347 The Child Belongs to Feng Jue
Si Beicheng brought a thermos filled with Luo Anya's favorite foods.
He watched as Luo Anya ate a little of everything before he left, feeling reassured.
The moment the man turned around, Luo Anya's expression changed as if turning the pages of a book.
She realized that Si Beicheng was useless; he had run into a brick wall again when he went to Feng Jue's place.
There was absolutely no way she could persuade Feng Jue to come see her.
However, she wasn't worried. Who was Feng Jue? He was an unshakeable, uncrowned king; his decisions couldn't be easily changed.
But as long as Si Beicheng, that silly girl, keeps trying to persuade her every day, Ajue will eventually change his opinion of her.
Moreover, she wasn't afraid that Feng Jue would actually dig up the child for a paternity test.
Because she had already arranged for Dr. Xiong to be cremated quietly.
When the cremation is exposed, there will be no way to verify the facts. With Si Beicheng's intelligence, he will only assume that Feng Jue manipulated things behind the scenes to destroy the evidence.
Si Beichen will definitely help her control public opinion. Even if she doesn't become Mrs. Feng, she will still receive a considerable amount of compensation.
With this money, she spent her days happily lingering around Feng Jue. As long as she could find another chance to truly sleep with him, even without having children, she was determined to make him marry her.
The more Luo Anya thought about it, the more frantic her expression became.
Wu Zetian was capable of killing an infant and framing Empress Wang, which is how she became an empress. If she were ruthless and willing enough, she would eventually become a woman who received imperial favor.
The only child who could be born through her womb is Feng Jue's.
None of the others are qualified.
Dr. Xiong happened to walk in for his routine rounds and saw Luo Anya with a ferocious expression, muttering to herself.
He was so crazy that his eyeballs were bulging out.
They quickly gave her a sedative injection.
This woman is ruthless and insane.
Having sacrificed so much, if she still can't marry Feng Jue, she might really go completely mad.
That's for the best. She's gone mad, so wouldn't all her money be his?
Si Beicheng had no idea about Luo Anya's cunning schemes.
He went to Tianjue again, wanting to confront Fengjue. Luo Anya was grieving the loss of her child and needed comfort, so Fengjue, as the child's father, couldn't refuse.
Unfortunately, this time he couldn't even get through the gate before being kicked out by the bodyguards.
Si Beichen's face turned pale with anger, and he could hardly believe his eyes.
He truly didn't expect that Feng Jue would actually break off their friendship over such a trivial matter, and he would even lose his privilege of freely entering and leaving the Tianjue Group.
Ultimately, it was because Feng Jue didn't believe what he said.
Everyone thinks he's stupid, right?
Fine, then he'll gather the evidence himself and throw it in his face.
Si Beichen was seething with anger. He deployed all available personnel to investigate Luo Anya.
When he throws the evidence in Feng Jue's face, he'll definitely record his ashamed and regretful expression on camera.
I watch it over and over again every day.
Thinking this, Si Beicheng turned and left.
He will never come to the Tianjue Mansion again unless he is invited in a grand sedan chair carried by eight men.
country z.
Early the next morning, Su Xi went downstairs and, seeing the sumptuous breakfast on the table, paused.
Meeting Feng Jingnian's affectionate gaze, Su Xi pursed her lips and still spoke.
"I'll discuss the collaboration with Shen Congxuan this morning; I'll just eat out."
Feng Jingnian advised, "Shen Congxuan is a cunning person. It's better to eat at home and eat less or not at all outside."
Su Xi's beautiful eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
"Jingnian, you don't believe me?"
Feng Jingnian was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized his lapse in composure and overstepping of bounds. He apologized sincerely, saying, "No, no, well... I wish you a successful signing."
"Mm." Su Xi smiled.
Feng Jingnian escorted her to the door, watched her get into the driver's car, and only went back to continue eating after the car had disappeared from sight.
It's the same thing, but at this moment it tastes a little unappetizing.
When they arrived at the agreed location, the driver opened the car door for Su Xi. He clearly had no intention of leaving, but rather wanted to stay in the parking space so that he could be called upon if anything happened.
Meeting Su Xi's gaze, he could only nod, get in the car, and drive away.
Su Xi took a deep breath and walked into the restaurant.
As expected, Shen Congxuan had booked a private room, not a table in the main hall.
Su Xi entered the private room, where Shen Congxuan was already waiting.
When she met the man's amber eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses, Su Xi's body still involuntarily reacted.
But she still went over.
The door to the private room was not closed.
Sensing Su Xi's subtle thoughts, Shen Congxuan simply smiled and pushed the menu towards her.
"Miss Su is indeed true to her word. She promised to have breakfast with me, and she arrived so early. What would you like to eat?"
Shen Congxuan was dressed in a dark, sharp suit, and even his shirt was black, with the top button neatly fastened.
Anyone who saw her would think she was gentle and refined, the kind of person who could remain unmoved even with a woman in his arms.
It's completely impossible to associate him with a refined scoundrel, which is very confusing.
However, Su Xi knew this person's character and virtue well, so she just smiled politely, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
She took the menu, ordered a few of her favorite breakfast items, and then pushed the menu back to her.
She didn't want to say anything to him that had nothing to do with the contract, but her meaning was clear: she wanted him to order whatever he liked.
Shen Congxuan smiled and said, "I'll have the exact same one as yours."
After ordering, Su Xi mentioned a clause in the contract, and Shen Congxuan pursed his thin lips, "Let's not talk about business before we eat."
Su Xi frowned.
Shen Congxuan didn't seem to care at all, his smile broad. "This is a major collaboration, and we always sign the contract after a good meal and drinks. Miss Su, you haven't treated me the same way. Is this discrimination because you have some kind of prejudice against me?"
Su Xi rolled her eyes inwardly. Shouldn't she be prejudiced against Shen Congxuan for his actions?
However, he was too lazy to explain, and simply said, "I misspoke."
Just then, two waiters pushed over a small food cart and served food to Shen Congxuan and Su Xi respectively.
After the meal was served, the two men stood to one side, their hands behind their backs, ready to be at his service.
Shen Congxuan waved his hand, "You can leave now."
The two waiters were slightly surprised, as the breakfast here was quite expensive, which of course included a service charge.
Now they are no longer needed.
However, such customers are quite common, especially a man and a woman, who do not want to be disturbed by others, which is understandable.
So they nodded and went out.
Su Xi was not surprised at all. She picked up her utensils and began to eat breakfast.
She only gave perfunctory responses to whatever Shen Congxuan said, letting it go in one ear and out the other.
She was completely focused on her plate, and as long as she was sure that no one had tampered with it, she had nothing to fear.
After the meal, the waiter came in to clear the table and brought two cups of Kopi Luwak (civet coffee). Then he left.
"Mr. Shen, can we talk about the contract now?"
"Of course. However, the contract contains a lot of advanced secrets, and if others overhear it, it would be a significant loss for both of us. So, shouldn't we close the door to the private room?"
Seeing Su Xi's brow furrow, Shen Congxuan smiled. "Miss Su says she has no prejudice against me, but..."
The rest was left unsaid, but those who understand will understand.
Su Xi could only nod. "Do as you please."
"Thank you." Shen Congxuan stood up, appearing even taller and with longer legs. He walked over unhurriedly, closing the door to the private room behind him.
It was not locked.
Every move he made was impeccably gentlemanly, conducted strictly in a businesslike manner, without any ulterior motives.
The man's physique and looks are top-notch. If it weren't for his shady and dirty habits in private, he would probably be a well-known and outstanding man.
It's just a pity...
The man exuded an innate air of nobility and elegance, which would make any woman's eyes light up. However, Su Xi remained unmoved, her gaze fixed straight ahead.
When Shen Congxuan sat down, she had already opened the contract in her hand.
Shen Congxuan smiled and opened the contract. The two then began to discuss the various clauses in the contract, both very seriously.
Half an hour later, the contract was in order, and the two of them signed their names.
The cooperation has been officially established.
When Su Xi handed over the contract, Shen Congxuan "accidentally" touched Su Xi's hand the moment he took it.
The man's palms were slightly damp and warm.
Su Xi immediately withdrew her hand.
"I'm sorry," Shen Congxuan said apologetically, "I didn't mean to."
Only a fool would believe such lies meant to fool the Japanese.
Su Xi's cheeks tightened slightly. She pursed her lips and shook her head. "It's nothing."
Shen Congxuan clearly had a playful expression that said, "Really? I don't believe it."
He explained again, seemingly in a serious tone, "Don't make a fuss, I just touched it by accident."
"You know perfectly well whether it was an accident or not." Su Xi also lost her temper and glared at him fiercely.
Shen Congxuan felt as if something had struck his heart. He extended his hand and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
Su Xi pursed her lips.
A handshake is simply a matter of etiquette, especially in China. Even a hug and cheek kiss are common greetings in China.
She had no doubt that if she refused to shake hands, Shen Congxuan would simply follow local custom and give her a cheek hug, a gesture of respect typical of China.
While she hesitated, she didn't miss the slight raising of Shen Congxuan's eyebrows.
"Oh, I forgot, this isn't in China, it's in Z country, how about..."
Su Xi felt a chill run down her spine and quickly extended her hand, saying, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
Shen Congxuan's palms were stickier and warmer than before.
After shaking hands, Su Xi instinctively wanted to pull away, but Shen Congxuan suddenly tightened his grip.
The man's eyes behind his glasses gradually became deep and mysterious.
Driving with your eyes on the road is nothing more than this.
Su Xi struggled a few times but couldn't break free. Her face turned cold. "President Shen, it's just a handshake. What do you mean by holding my hand and not letting go?"
Shen Congxuan lowered his voice, asking a question instead of answering, his deep voice carrying a teasing undertone.
"Is it not allowed?"
Su Xi's face darkened. "Don't forget you're still out on bail. Do you still want to go back in?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Congxuan's refined and scholarly face showed no sign of panic; on the contrary, he seemed quite pleased, his voice slightly bubbly and incredibly magnetic.
"Actually, if I get you, what's the point of going in?"
Su Xi looked at him coldly, "You think I'd believe that? Don't you still have Wu Qingluan? Where did she go?"
Upon hearing the name "Wu Qingluan," Shen Congxuan's amber eyes darkened for a moment, but he remained silent.
He grabbed Su Xi's wrist and forced her into a corner.
He locked the door to the private room with one hand.
Su Xi's back was also pressed against the cold, hard wall.
What are you doing?
Su Xi's fierceness seemed cute and adorable to him, and Shen Congxuan's heart fluttered for a moment.
A struggle flashed deep in his eyes, and then he made his next move.
Before Su Xi could react, her hands were easily and firmly grasped by one of the man's large hands, while his other hand reached out towards her.
Su Xi's heart leaped into her throat in fright, and her face turned ashen.
"Hey, what are you doing? I'm warning you..."
Before she could finish speaking, she noticed where Shen Congxuan was touching, and her pupils suddenly contracted.
Shen Congxuan stroked her neck down to her long, flowing hair.
They accurately caught the mini microphone disguised as a hair clip.
Almost simultaneously, a man's deep, magnetic voice sounded in her ear, and his warm breath tickled her ear tips.
"Don't get me wrong, I know you have a communicator on you."
Su Xi's face turned pale again.
If he destroys this microphone, the evidence she painstakingly recorded will also be destroyed.
Then she would be like a fish on a chopping board, helpless and desperate.
She had witnessed this man's perversion firsthand. Her body trembled uncontrollably from the stress.
She said, her voice stern but her tone weak, "This is Ruyi Pavilion, my territory. Do you dare to cause trouble?"
She asked Feng Jingnian for a favor in order to invest in Ruyi Pavilion.
Ruyi Pavilion is a global chain, and Nie Liuyun has always held 100% control of it. Many people have requested to become shareholders, but they have all been rejected. Su Xi wanted to hold 10% of the shares. If he didn't agree, 1% would also be acceptable. Unexpectedly, Nie Liuyun agreed immediately.
She now holds a 10% stake in Ruyi Pavilion, so this Ruyi Pavilion can be considered her territory.
She also had a driver. Instead of having him park in the open, she had him park in a secluded corner so that Shen Congxuan wouldn't be alerted, yet he could come to his aid at any time.
She also deliberately carried that mini communicator with her, hoping to get some information out of Shen Congxuan.
Whether Wu Qingluan is dead or alive remains uncertain, which is why Shen Congxuan has been able to escape justice. If she could get a recording of Shen Congxuan admitting that he had silenced Wu Qingluan, she could use that evidence to send him to prison.
After all, once the contract is signed, Fu Rufeng will be the one to handle things, so there's no need for Shen Congxuan to stay any longer.
But she never expected that Shen Congxuan would use such a lose-lose, desperate method to deal with her.
Does he really want to spend his whole life in prison and doesn't want freedom anymore?
Su Xi was so frightened that her breathing became rapid, her whole body tense, and she looked at Shen Congxuan warily.
She breathed a small sigh of relief when she realized that Shen Congxuan was clearly restrained for no apparent reason and did not lay a hand on her.
However, Shen Congxuan's next words frightened her even more.
For the first time, she realized that she had always underestimated him.
"Miss Su, I know you also control a stake in this Ruyi Pavilion, and it's full of your people. But no matter how fast they are, can they be faster than me?"
Su Xi's pupils contracted again.
"Don't worry, I just want to take out and destroy anything that is not good for me."
The man toyed with the small communicator. His hands were long and slender, like bamboo, and as white as jade. The black communicator looked even smaller and more delicate in his palm, creating a striking contrast.
However, Su Xi was completely oblivious to this visual feast, because she could tell that the man's second half of his sentence was clearly not directed at her.
It was spoken to the person on the other end of the communicator.
Su Xi's heart sank again.
Shen Congxuan spoke calmly and with a half-smile into his eyes into the communicator.
"Feng Jingnian, don't you think so?"
As those words settled, Su Xi's heart sank to the bottom.
A flicker of despair flashed deep in his eyes.
