Chapter 399 Feng Jue is not a member of the Feng family.
Feng Jue successfully pulled Su Xi up, only then realizing that his palms were covered in cold sweat and his back was soaked with it.
He then realized that his breathing had stopped and his heart was pounding wildly.
Su Xi glanced indifferently at Feng Jue, then lay down on the edge of the cliff, looking down into the heavy mist. There was no trace of Shen Congxuan.
She asked in a disappointed voice, "Did you threaten him to jump?"
There was no further response.
Just as Su Xi gave a wry smile, thinking that the high and mighty Lord Feng Jue wouldn't stoop to explain himself to her for such a trivial matter,
The man finally spoke, "That was his own decision."
You think I'd believe that?
Su Xi turned around and stubbornly met the man's gaze.
The two of them just stared at each other like that.
His gaze was cold, devoid of any warmth.
They were like sworn enemies.
Finally, Feng Jue sneered, reverting to his usual indifferent and cold-blooded demeanor, and made a phone call in front of Su Xi, instructing Liu Cheng to go downstairs to find Shen Congxuan's body.
Upon hearing the word "remains," Su Xi's pupils dilated sharply, and she couldn't help but shout out.
"Mr. Feng, are you really going to make such a final decision and deny him any hope of survival?"
Based on her understanding of Liu Cheng, he was a flexible person. But the others involved in the search might not be so.
Feng Jue was talking about searching for remains. Even if Shen Congxuan had a chance of survival, they might still turn him into a corpse.
Thinking of this, Su Xi's eyes grew even bloodshot, and she almost gritted her teeth as she spoke.
“Feng Jue, I know you hate me, but if you have any problems, come at me directly. Shen Congxuan is innocent.”
The moment those words landed, the surrounding air suddenly thinned.
Feng Jue's eyes were calm and expressionless, but the moment they fell on Su Xi's face, she felt a lump in her throat, as if she were being targeted by a sniper rifle.
The man chuckled, his voice as melodious as a babbling brook, but his words were utterly humiliating.
"First, what position do you have and what right do you have to question me?"
Secondly, I saved your life. Is this how you treat your savior? Where is your moral compass?
The man's tone was as casual as if he were commenting on the weather, but every word he uttered was incredibly hurtful to Su Xi.
Su Xi's face was so stiff it felt like it wasn't her own anymore.
After a long pause, she said coldly, "No one is perfect. Everyone is subject to close scrutiny, including you and me."
Gu Chong, Feng Jingnian, and Shen Congxuan may all have their faults, but the world is not black and white. They also have their good points towards me, which are much better than yours.
Are you only satisfied when you've driven away all my friends?
I know you hate me. What a coincidence, I hate you too.
Su Xi spoke as if chatting casually, or as if talking to herself. She was speaking to Feng Jue, but she didn't even look at him, treating him as if he were invisible.
After saying the last word, she smiled slightly, stood up, and walked straight ahead.
"Where are you going?" came the man's icy voice from behind.
Su Xi paused, then said coldly without turning her head, "You're being a bit nosy."
A mocking voice came from inside, "I was indeed meddling a bit, after all, the child in your belly is of the Feng family bloodline."
Mo Yang is known for his relentless pursuit of his goals and his mastery of elaborate schemes; he shouldn't have only sent this one wave of assassins.
Upon hearing this, Su Xi stopped in her tracks.
Feng Jue turned around and walked in another direction without looking back, speaking in a tone that suggested he didn't care if she followed him or not, "I know a safe path down the mountain."
Su Xi clenched her fists and bit her lower lip hard.
As the man's figure was about to disappear from sight, she finally stopped hesitating and quickly followed after him.
Half an hour later,
The two arrived safely at the Feng family's old residence.
Upon seeing Feng Jue's car, Su Mo greeted him with a gentle smile.
He was wearing large sunglasses.
Although sunglasses covered most of her face, you could still clearly see the smile on her lips and her deep dimples.
But the moment Su Mo saw Su Xi get out of the car, her face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
However, when she saw Su Xi's disheveled clothes and the numerous wounds on her body, she instantly understood the situation.
Feng Jue only takes care of Su Xi because of the bastard child in her womb. Otherwise, he wouldn't even blink if Su Xi died in front of him.
The fact that Su Xi, disheveled and covered in blood, followed behind Feng Jue without a second glance or even turning her head speaks volumes.
Su Mo went up to him, affectionately took Feng Jue's arm, glanced back at Su Xi with disdain, and left arrogantly.
Feng Jinchen and Wu Yaoyao, who came out to greet them after hearing the commotion, were somewhat confused by the scene outside.
Wu Yaoyao, naturally, loved watching the drama unfold. Although she didn't say a word, her eyes were full of provocation.
Feng Jinchen saw this and felt even more uncomfortable.
He glanced at Su Mo.
Apart from the time he mistook Su Mo for Su Xi in Country Z and got beaten up, he has almost never seen Su Mo's face again, and he hasn't even had the chance to meet her.
For example, at the last banquet, Wu Yaoyao could go, but he couldn't.
The reason for this was probably the grudge from when he mistook someone for someone else. He didn't think much of it.
Now that Su Mo has actually come to the Feng family, he originally thought he could finally distinguish the difference between her and Su Xi.
But the woman was wearing large sunglasses, making it impossible to tell her identity.
He had no choice but to give up.
Therefore, his gaze swept across Su Mo's face, finally landing on Feng Jue's expression, and he questioned her in a deep voice.
"Uncle, Su Xi got out of your car, how did she end up in such a disheveled state? Who did this?"
The implication is already quite clear.
It means that Feng Jue, who appears to be indifferent to women, actually made unwanted advances towards Su Xi in the car, which is despicable.
Feng Jue didn't even spare him a glance, and walked right past him without pausing, completely ignoring him.
Feng Jinchen clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, and when he turned around, he saw Su Xi limping over. Although her wounds weren't deep, they were already bleeding.
He was even more furious.
I never imagined that Feng Jue, who usually acts so respectable, would have such a peculiar habit behind the scenes.
He knew he couldn't possibly do something so despicable.
Immediately, Feng Jinchen could no longer contain himself and stood up straight, "Uncle, you even hurt her, are you even human?"
Before Feng Jue could respond, Su Xi, as if facing a formidable enemy, hurriedly said, "You've misunderstood. I was the one who encountered an assassin. It was Uncle, no, it was President Feng who saved me."
As Su Xi spoke, she glanced in Feng Jue's direction out of the corner of her eye.
The two men didn't pause for a moment from beginning to end. Before she could finish speaking, they had already entered the living room and disappeared from sight.
Su Xi felt a wave of self-mockery. This only made her eagerness to defuse the situation seem like a joke.
She was very eager, but the man didn't care at all, making her cheeks burn.
However, she was not one to repay kindness with enmity. Since Feng Jue was being misunderstood by others because he saved her, she felt obligated to clarify the situation.
Feng Jinchen was quite surprised to hear Su Xi's explanation.
Wu Yaoyao's eyes flickered, as if she had guessed something, and her gaze toward Su Xi was like a knife.
She asked with apparent concern, "What kind of assassin? Sister Su, you're usually so kind and unassuming, how could you attract someone's attention?"
Feng Jinchen was also eagerly awaiting an answer.
Moreover, he was skeptical of Su Xi's excuse, believing that she was clearly trying to exonerate Feng Jue.
Sure enough, Su Xi glanced at Wu Yaoyao indifferently, her tone indicating she didn't want to talk to her, "This matter has nothing to do with you."
After saying that, he was about to leave, but Feng Jinchen reached out and stopped him.
"Su Xi, is it really Feng Jue? Don't worry, if it is, I will definitely stand up for you in front of Grandma later."
Su Xi glanced at the man with some surprise.
Normally, Feng Jinchen would act like a mouse encountering a rat when facing Feng Jue, so why has he suddenly become so assertive now?
It puzzled her.
Something unusual must be going on.
For the first time in months, Su Xi looked closely at Feng Jinchen's face.
The man's handsome face was exactly as he remembered. This rekindled the sweet memories they once shared.
But this memory felt like a century ago to her, as if it were something ethereal and unreal.
She didn't understand why she felt this way.
Maybe it's because I've really let go.
When Feng Jinchen saw the deep look in Su Xi's eyes, his heart skipped a beat.
After all, this was the first time Su Xi had looked at him so seriously since his infidelity was discovered.
He was initially excited and proud.
But the woman's expression was not as affectionate as he had imagined; instead, she seemed to be carefully examining a piece of... wood.
There was absolutely no personal feeling involved.
Finally, she calmly spoke up, "It wasn't President Feng. I've already said it, it was President Feng who saved me."
Feng Jinchen was immediately enraged by Su Xi's differential treatment.
She was so protective of Feng Jue, who had abused her, yet so indifferent to him, her husband of three years.
Anyone would find that unbearable.
He practically roared it out; in the sunlight, the spittle was clearly visible.
"Su Xi, you really don't even bother to think before you lie. Do you think I'd believe you?"
Su Xi paused.
Originally, she wanted to say believe it or not, but if Feng Jinchen really brought this up in front of Old Madam Feng, even if Feng Jue could clarify it on the spot, it would still cause trouble and negative impact on Feng Jue.
After thinking for a moment, Su Xi asked in return, "How can I prove it to you for you to believe me?"
Wu Yaoyao's eyes darted around as she eagerly answered, "At least explain where those assassins came from, and why they're targeting you."
Su Xi gave Wu Yaoyao a cold look; she knew perfectly well that this woman was no good.
However, to protect Feng Jue's reputation, she told the truth.
"Because Changdu has a partnership with the Fu Group in the capital."
When I went to Fu's to discuss cooperation, I ran into Mr. Mo, the general manager of Mo's Group.
Feng Jinchen's brows were furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly, his face full of impatience. What the hell did Su Xi's two sentences have to do with her being chased?
Just as he was about to question her, Su Xi continued.
"It's probably because I look somewhat like President Mo that the Mo family is worried that I might be their long-lost daughter and don't want me to inherit the family fortune, so they sent an assassin to me."
The moment those words landed, Wu Yaoyao could barely maintain her composure.
Just as she guessed, how could that bitch Su Xi be so lucky? Even though she was forced to go to China, she still managed to run into Mo Qian again. She must have done it on purpose.
The Mo family's daughter can only belong to Wu Yaoyao. Su Xi shouldn't even think about trying to take her away.
Wu Yaoyao dug her nails deep into her flesh to steady her expression, but the murderous intent in her heart was like the Yellow River flowing endlessly.
Wu Kang has now been released. His underlings are also quite capable.
Dealing with a fool like Su Xi is like catching a turtle in a jar.
Even if Su Xi has princess blood, she will not have the life of a princess.
We'll see.
When Feng Jinchen heard Su Xi say this, he paused for a moment.
Mo Qian herself was present at his wedding with Wu Yaoyao.
The news Mo Qian brought was so shocking that he didn't pay much attention to her appearance.
Now that I think about it carefully, Mo Qian and Su Xi do look about five or six points alike.
However, even if they were 50% or 60% alike, or even 100% alike, he didn't think Su Xi would be so lucky as to be Mo Qian's daughter.
However, it is also possible that the Mo family members, for the sake of their enormous wealth, would rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.
Therefore, he must have really misunderstood Feng Jue.
Feng Jinchen touched his nose and said with a forced smile,
"It's good that it's not my uncle."
But he wasn't exactly fair either. He was supposed to see things through to the end, but instead of applying medicine or changing your clothes, he just wouldn't…”
"Enough!" Su Xi interrupted him directly. "Feng Jinchen, if it weren't for President Feng, I'm afraid I wouldn't be here anymore."
I feel only gratitude towards him.
If you want to morally blackmail him, go ahead and talk to him. See if he'll slap you to death.
"You!" Feng Jinchen's face turned as red as a liver color.
Su Xi took a deep breath. "Mr. Feng, you're not a child anymore. Please think before you speak in the future."
After Su Xi finished speaking, she walked past him and left.
Feng Jinchen couldn't swallow this insult and wanted to step forward to argue, but Wu Yaoyao pulled him back.
The latter lowered his voice and advised.
"It's about time; it's time to announce the will. We can deal with her after the will is announced."
Although Feng Jinchen was furious, he felt that Wu Yaoyao's words made sense. He calmed himself down, composed himself, and walked straight into the inner room.
The atmosphere inside the room was heavy.
Grandma Feng was so thin she looked like a mummy, and her eyes were swollen like wrinkled walnuts.
There has been no news of the old man who fell off the cliff for a month, and the judicial authorities have confirmed his death.
The old woman had long since run out of tears; her voice was hoarse, like sandpaper scraped by a razor blade.
"Attorney Nian, everyone's here, let's announce the will."
Attorney Nian took out the will from his briefcase and read it aloud, "I, Feng Zhennan, hereby declare that my estate shall be inherited by Feng Jue, Feng..."
"Wait a moment!"
Feng Jinchen suddenly spoke with a livid face, "I do not agree to this will."
He had initially guessed that the old man would leave an inheritance to Feng Jue, an outsider, but he wasn't entirely sure.
After all, Feng Jue already owns the Tianjue Group, and he has more wealth than he could ever spend in a lifetime. Why would he need to seize the Feng family's inheritance?
However, the fact that Attorney Nian repeatedly mentioned Feng Jue's name, and even listed it as number one, is simply outrageous.
This is intolerable!
The moment Feng Jinchen finished speaking, everyone turned to look at him. Naturally, they all wanted an answer.
Feng Jinchen straightened his back, raised his eyebrows in triumph, and said in a measured tone,
"because,
Feng Jue was not a member of the Feng family at all.
He is not entitled to inherit the Feng family estate.
The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became as quiet as a chicken's nest, eerily so.
