Chapter 375 The Deal with Shen Congxuan
Seeing that Su Xi had unexpectedly benefited from the misfortune and was carried away in a princess carry by Feng Jue, she really wished that she was the one who was drunk.
Suddenly, Wu Yaoyao belatedly realized,
If Su Xi betrays her while drunk, she'll be finished.
Instantly, a chill rose from the soles of my feet.
She immediately got up and rushed out without a second thought, but Liu Cheng stopped her as soon as she stepped out of the private room.
When Wu Yaoyao returned, she seemed somewhat lost and disoriented.
After a long pause, she suddenly said, "It's true that people speak the truth when they're drunk, but what they say when they're drunk might also be crazy ramblings."
Huang Sifeng simply smiled in response, unaware of the meaning behind Wu Yaoyao's words. Most of the others did the same.
Wu Yaoyao had no choice but to explain things more clearly.
"Back then, Sister Xi admitted it herself, saying that she hated me for taking Jin Chen away and wanted to accuse me of pushing Grandpa off the cliff. She only stopped because I had an alibi."
Jinchen, you were there and heard everything clearly. I'm not making this up.
Feng Jinchen nodded, confirming the truth of Wu Yaoyao's words.
Wu Yaoyao was worried. "If... if Sister Xi talks nonsense again after drinking, saying that I am related to Grandpa's fall off the cliff, and if Uncle believes her, then I will be unable to defend myself."
Upon hearing this, Feng Jinchen quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, your uncle can tell the truth from the falsehood. Even if your uncle believes it, we'll still support you."
“Yes, that’s right.” Huang Sifeng nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking at rice. “Su Xi was already marrying up to CEO Feng, but she hasn’t even had a baby in three years. It’s her fault. What right does she have to hate Miss Wu?”
Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is having no offspring. In ancient times, a woman like her who had no children would have been drowned in a pig cage.
If she dared to make baseless accusations while drunk that Miss Wu and the old man's fall off the cliff were related, then it was definitely her doing, no doubt about it; she was just trying to shift the blame.
I want to make a statement here, on behalf of the Su family: if Su Xi did this, don't worry about us; you can do whatever you want with her.
Su Zi'an clearly disagreed with Huang Sifeng's statement; his face was almost contorted in a bitter expression.
He wanted to say something, but his wife glared at him fiercely.
He sighed softly and said nothing more.
If Su Xi really did what happened to the old man, even if they wanted to protect him, they wouldn't have the ability.
If it wasn't Su Xi who did it, as her uncle, he naturally wouldn't have stood idly by.
Huang Sifeng was so focused on flattering Wu Yaoyao that she glared back at Su Zi'an, looking smug.
However, when she met Feng Jingnian's cold and stern gaze, Huang Sifeng felt a little guilty.
However, although this young man is successful in his career, he is still a teenager, and she can easily coax him into a daze with just a few words.
Huang Sifeng then chuckled twice, “Young master, it’s not that we’re being righteous and turning against our own family, but rather that murderers should pay with their lives, and debts should be repaid. If Su Xi has done something so outrageous, then paying with her life is only right.”
Feng Jingnian sneered, "You said it yourself, it's a hypothetical. You're rushing to sentence Su Xi to death over an uncertain assumption. It's a pity she got drunk to facilitate your cooperation. It's really not worth it."
Huang Sifeng just chuckled awkwardly. Although Feng Jingnian was the son-in-law, his business was all overseas, so he didn't offer much help to the Su family.
She knew very well who she should curry favor with.
Su Zian could only force a smile and say, "Young master, don't be angry. Don't stoop to the level of a woman."
“Indeed, if you cherish such a tactless and ungrateful woman, then I will naturally cherish my woman as well. She is drunk, and I need to take care of her. Please excuse me.”
After finishing speaking, Feng Jingnian didn't even glance at Su Zi'an. He simply raised his glass to Feng Jinchen, took a sip as an apology, and then got up and left without looking back.
"Oh, young master, how can you leave now, the one who's been keeping us company while we drink..."
Huang Sifeng spoke very softly, and she was naturally saying this to Wu Yaoyao and Feng Jinchen.
After Feng Jingnian left, the room became eerily quiet.
Feng Jinchen's expression was rather unpleasant, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Wu Yaoyao's eyes darted around. "They say the less you have, the more you care. If the world's richest man is mocked as a poor wretch, he naturally won't get angry, because it must be fake."
Madam Su was merely using an analogy, but Feng Jingnian immediately became enraged and, disregarding etiquette, simply turned around and left, which was truly astonishing.
Could it be... could it be that Madam Su was right?
Feng Jingnian is Su Xi's husband, after all. He should know better than anyone what good things Su Xi has done, shouldn't he?
Upon hearing this, Huang Sifeng was naturally the first to chime in, her eyes shining brightly, "Miss Wu is absolutely right. Miss Wu is truly intelligent and beautiful; Mr. Feng is very fortunate."
Feng Jinchen's eyes darkened again. If Feng Jue were here, it would be fine...
When Feng Jue wasn't around, he hated being called "Little President Feng" the most.
It was as if he was inferior to Feng Jue in every way.
If the Su family hadn't been the most suitable and cost-effective partner so far, he would have turned around and left immediately.
"Let's talk about the contract. I don't want to hear another word about anything unimportant."
Seeing Feng Jinchen's cold expression, Huang Sifeng dared not speak anymore and secretly glanced at Su Zi'an.
Su Zian immediately lowered his posture, becoming as humble as possible, and explained the details of the contract in detail.
Seeing the once-glorious president of the Su Group, now quite old with gray hair, still behaving humbly in front of him, Feng Jinchen's expression finally improved.
The two parties chatted casually over drinks and talked about the contract.
On the other side, Feng Jingnian had been absent-minded ever since Su Xi was taken away by Feng Jue.
He knew Su Xi was kind. He actually wanted to stay and help Xi Xi close the contract, and help the Su family secure greater benefits.
However, Huang Sifeng's meanness and Su Zi'an's attempts to smooth things over made him unable to bear it any longer. He felt very sorry for Su Xi, so he made an excuse to leave.
However, he certainly wasn't there to take care of Su Xi.
With Feng Jue around, he wouldn't be allowed to join.
He simply booked a private room and rested, feeling uneasy.
The private room diagonally opposite,
Feng Jue, with a cold expression, casually tossed Su Xi onto the bed.
Judging from his indifferent and cold expression, if Su Xi hadn't been pregnant, she would definitely have been thrown onto the bed.
Then Feng Jue sat aloofly on the black leather sofa by the bed, crossed his legs, and coldly waited for Su Xi to make a drunken, flirtatious remark.
"Hey bro, long time no see."
In the depths of his cold, icy eyes, there might be a hint of expectation that he himself was unaware of.
However, a minute passed, then five minutes, then a quarter of an hour.
Su Xi remained motionless, lying in the same position she had been thrown onto the bed.
It seems possible... she's asleep?
How come this is different from her previous image as a drunken, groping, and domineering older woman?
Could it be that because of pregnancy, my body's reaction to alcohol has undergone some inexplicable and subtle changes?
Feng Jue's handsome, cold eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Su Xi was certainly not asleep.
With the Demon King right beside her, how could she dare to fall asleep? It wasn't lunchtime or nighttime; she wasn't sleepy at all.
on the contrary,
I was incredibly excited because of the tension.
She pretended to be asleep without moving, her body stiff and cramping, but that devil still wouldn't leave. Su Xi was in agony.
Maintaining one position for a long time was really uncomfortable, so Su Xi could only use all her acting skills to pretend to be drunk and mumble something, and then take advantage of the situation to turn over.
He left Feng Jue with his back turned.
It's obvious she's asleep. Feng Jue should be leaving now, right?
However, a dark shadow loomed down.
The overwhelming, intense scent of sandalwood, along with the man's warm breath, indicated that the two were very close.
Su Xi froze.
A deep, indifferent voice came from beside him.
"Didn't you say you were going to sleep?"
Su Xi?!
Despite trying to pretend she was asleep, the moment she heard those words, a cold sweat suddenly broke out all over her body.
Her eyelashes began to tremble uncontrollably.
Although it was hard to pretend, Su Xi knew that if Feng Jue found out that she was fooling him with plain water instead of wine, her uncle's big collaboration might fall through.
So she had no choice but to continue pretending to be asleep.
Fortunately, Feng Jue straightened up after saying that.
Su Xi heard that he must have gone to the restroom. Immediately afterwards, she heard the sound of running water.
Su Xi froze again.
Is Feng Jue taking a shower?
What does he want to do?
However, Su Xi quickly suppressed that wishful thinking.
Feng Jue brought her here hoping to get some information about the old man's fall off the cliff while she was drunk. He had no other intentions.
Perhaps, if she weren't pregnant, and if Feng Jue didn't still have at least a shred of humanity, he might have tortured her for questioning.
Su Xi let out a long breath, but for some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Listening to the sound of rushing water, and thinking that men probably wouldn't shower so quickly, Su Xi boldly relaxed her arms and legs.
I found the most comfortable position to lie down, only to realize that my right leg had become numb and cramped without me even noticing.
A piercing, tingling pain surged up in waves, and Su Xi couldn't help but reach out and pound her stiff right leg.
Suddenly, through her squinted eyes, she saw a tall and slender figure walking towards her.
Oh no, the shower noise has stopped.
Feng Jue actually came out. How could it be so fast?
Su Xi immediately froze, maintaining a strange posture.
Because she almost got caught by Feng Jue, Su Xi knew that her acting was terrible this time. But Feng Jue probably wouldn't notice, right?
Seeing the woman suddenly stop moving as if she had been struck by a magic acupuncture point, Feng Jue paused, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
However, he soon went back to the bedside.
The man's warm breath drew near again.
The overwhelming scent of hormones relentlessly assaulted my nostrils.
Su Xi felt like she had shrunk a whole size, wondering what Feng Jue was up to.
The next second, a cold, damp handkerchief was placed on her face.
Su Xi's back stiffened.
As Feng Jue used a cool towel to wipe Su Xi's face, he spoke with a tone that was three parts indifferent and seven parts sarcastic, "Are you still sleepy?"
Su Xi?
She then realized that Feng Jue hadn't gone to take a bath, but had come to wet a towel to help her sober up.
Was he determined to wake himself up and then interrogate the old man about the matter?
But her acting skills are really limited. The more she says, the more mistakes she makes; keeping quiet is the best option.
Su Xi dared not open her eyes, determined to play dead.
The cool handkerchief wiped every nook and cranny of her face, and finally wiped behind her ears and on her neck.
Su Xi gritted her teeth and remained motionless.
Snap!
The handkerchief was casually tossed onto the small table.
Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief. She was very ticklish, and if she had continued rubbing, she was afraid she would have crawled out of her stomach. Luckily, she had managed to hold on.
Feng Jue looked at the woman coldly. When did his attraction to her drop to such an absurd level?
She was completely unmoved.
Feng Jue was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly remembered that Su Xi had been pounding her right leg earlier. Could it be that her right leg was numb?
He recalled that, indeed, during the first 15 minutes when she was completely still, this stupid woman had almost all her weight on her right leg; it would be strange if she didn't get a cramp.
Thinking about it, he suddenly bent down.
The numbness in Su Xi's right leg came in waves, and she really wanted to massage it to relieve the pain.
It's a pity that Feng Jue, that living devil, is here.
Su Xi muttered to herself, trying to use her mind to make the man leave, but suddenly the world spun around her.
By the time she realized what was happening, she was already sitting in the man's lap.
Su Xi was so frightened that she almost convulsed.
Not daring to let the man see her expression lest she give herself away, Su Xi could only pretend to be drunk and put her arm around Feng Jue's neck.
She buried her face in the crook of his neck.
Feng Jue was taken aback, his handsome, icy face remaining expressionless.
A slender, jade-like hand reached out and rested on the woman's right leg.
Su Xi gasped in fright.
She initially thought Feng Jue had lost his mind and was trying to touch her, but the next second, the man started touching her repeatedly.
Gently massage her calves.
The cramping pain in my right leg subsided immediately and gradually.
Whether moved or shocked, Su Xi nestled in the man's neck, her breathing becoming heavier.
Her breathing sounded like thunder to Feng Jue.
It's like a switch.
Before Su Xi could react, her chin had already been pinched up.
Feng Jue suddenly lowered his head.
Feng Jue was immediately stunned.
There was absolutely no smell of alcohol.
Su Xi quickly came to her senses. She had only drunk plain water; this time she was really going to be exposed, and her uncle's business was definitely in trouble.
Su Xi thought she had been completely exposed, and her mind was a complete mess.
After a long while, she realized that the first step might be to get off her legs.
Before she could move, a deep, mocking voice came from above her.
"You didn't drink anything, did you? This wine tastes so... weak? Did you drink fake wine?"
In the past, someone would have been much more proactive.
Hearing the questioning and the man's cold, sharp voice, Su Xi almost raised her hands in surrender and said, "I was wrong."
Upon hearing the last sentence, she might feel that she could still be saved.
She had heard Feng Jue mention several times before that she was very proactive when drunk. Moreover, Ye Qingqian had witnessed it herself and described it to her.
so……
To prove she was truly drunk, Su Xi, almost without thinking, instinctively pushed the man down onto the sofa and lowered her head.
Until he was about to suffocate,
Su Xi was so exhausted that she leaned against someone's neck.
This time I don't need to pretend to be asleep, I'm really tired.
As if riding on clouds, Su Xi was gently placed in a soft, cloud-like quilt.
Hearing the man's footsteps leave and the door close, Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
We finally managed to fool them this time.
Anyway, I'll black out when I sober up, so it's okay.
Suddenly, Su Xi belatedly realized something and abruptly sat up in bed.
She's "drunk," could it be that Feng Jue is drunk too?
My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of my chest.
However, Su Xi quickly calmed down and became numb.
She's in the prime of her youth, and her looks and figure are still quite attractive to the opposite sex.
Feng Jue was also a normal man.
It's just a charade; there's no real responsibility. That's all.
Su Xi slumped into the cloud-shaped blankets, staring at the ceiling, no longer feeling sleepy.
My phone suddenly rang; it was Shen Congxuan calling.
Whether out of spite or something else, after signing the contract, she and Shen Congxuan, the man who had repeatedly tried to take advantage of her, were supposed to have no further contact.
But now, without even thinking, she answered the phone, "President Shen, what is it?"
A gentle, refined male voice came from the other end of the line, "Ms. Su, I'd like to discuss a deal with you."
Su Xi pursed her lips. "Go ahead."
