Chapter 289 Whose child is she carrying?

"Xixi, Tianjue has a branch in Z country called Chenxi. Do you know who the new president of Chenxi is?"
Su Xi glanced at Feng Jingnian, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, and joked, "Who it is has nothing to do with me, right? What brings you here today?"
"It's Gu Chong."
Su Xi's eyes flickered. Chen Yan had already told her the whole story. She owed Gu Chong too much.
He's now a president, riding high on his success, and has everything he could ever want. She has nothing to repay him with.
However, she will remember his kindness and goodwill, and she will definitely do her best to help him whenever he needs her.
Su Xi smiled. "It was indeed a bit of a surprise. I'm also very happy for him."
Seeing that the woman had no other feelings for Gu Chong, Feng Jingnian smiled and buried himself in his work.
Su Xi snatched the document he was looking at and said, "I can handle this document. You should do the recovery exercises the doctor recommended."
Feng Jingnian looked helpless, but dared not contradict the woman, so he could only stand aside and do his exercises with a look of utter despair.
The doctor designed very slow and small movements, making it look like a shamanistic ritual.
I accidentally caught a glimpse of the reflection in the floor-to-ceiling window, and the man inside looked like a sissy who deserved a beating.
Feng Jingnian felt that his lifelong reputation was completely ruined.
Su Xi suppressed a laugh, pretending not to see anything, and focused intently on processing the documents.
That evening, just as Su Xi lay down, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Hearing that it was Feng Jingnian's voice, and hearing that it sounded like something urgent, she quickly got dressed and went to open the door.
"What's wrong?"
"Gu Chong is in trouble."
"What?" Su Xi frowned. "What happened?"
"Gu Chong was shot. It's really unlucky. That gunfight was politically related, and the specific casualties have been covered up."
Whether Gu Chong is alive or dead is still unknown. This is truly a bolt from the blue.
Seeing Su Xi's pale face, Feng Jingnian quickly comforted her, "Since it's related to politics, they will definitely get the best medical care."
So far, there's been no news of any deaths, which is a good thing. Don't worry too much. My people will investigate diligently, and I believe we'll have news by tomorrow.
Feng Jingnian felt like punching himself as he talked; he shouldn't have told Su Xi now.
But if Gu Chong really is gone, and the bad news comes tomorrow, Su Xi will definitely have a rift with him.
"I'm fine, you should go back and rest."
"You don't look well. How can you be alright?" Feng Jingnian said firmly, calling the family doctor to examine Su Xi.
Only after confirming that there was no risk to the fetus did I feel relieved enough to go back to sleep.
Su Xi locked the door, took out an anonymous SIM card, and dialed Gu Chong's number.
The CEO's office at Chenxi was brightly lit.
Upon seeing the unfamiliar number that had appeared on his phone, Gu Chong immediately asked his secretary to check it out. Sure enough, it was an anonymous number.
Gu Chong curled his lips into a smile; he was 100% certain that this number belonged to Su Xi.
The next step is to figure out how to arrange a meeting with Su Xi, or to determine her location.
Su Xi made three calls in a row, but no one answered, and her heart sank to the bottom. She couldn't believe that Gu Chong was so young and gone.
Lost in thought, the phone rang. Seeing that it was Gu Chong calling, Su Xi's heart jumped, fearing it was a call from a police officer asking her to identify a body.
Her hands trembled as she answered the phone, and a clear, pleasant voice came from the other end, "Xixi, is that you?"
Hearing Gu Chong's voice, Su Xi finally felt relieved, then frowned, "Weren't you shot?"
The man's voice didn't sound like he was injured at all.
"Xixi, thank you for your concern. But who told you that? The information might be wrong. It was my assistant who was shot. I'm fine."
But a bullet grazed my ear, and I almost died. At that moment, all I could think of was you. You've been missing for so long, and I was so worried about you. I never expected to receive your call today, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
Xixi, where are you now?
Su Xi pursed her lips. "It's good that you're alright. As for where I am now, you don't need to know."
"But I'm very worried about you." The man's tone was somewhat hurt. "Don't worry, I won't tell Feng Jue."
"You should worry about yourself. Whether that gunfight was a coincidence or someone did it intentionally, you'd better investigate. It's getting late, I need to go to sleep."
"……good."
The next morning, as soon as Su Xi opened the door, she was met with Feng Jingnian's somewhat guilty and ashamed eyes.
"Xixi, yesterday's information was wrong. It wasn't Gu Chong who was injured, but Gu Chong's assistant."
However, Gu Chong's ear was pierced and he was taken to the hospital for treatment.
Su Xi's eyes flickered. Didn't Gu Chong say last night that the bullet grazed her ear? He said it so casually, really only reporting good news and not bad.
"Okay, I understand."
"But I always felt there was something fishy about this. It felt like a setup."
"Didn't you say it yourself? It's a political game. Okay, let's go eat."
At lunchtime, Su Xi received another call from Gu Chong, inviting her to lunch. Su Xi promptly declined.
Gu Chong racked his brains to come up with various ways to ask Su Xi out, but Su Xi refused every time, and he couldn't find out where she was.
A hint of sadness flashed in the man's eyes. It seemed that in Su Xi's heart, he was someone who couldn't be trusted at all.
It really was a failure.
For the next few days, Su Xi did not receive any calls from Gu Chong.
Days flow by slowly, clouds drift and flowers bloom and fade in a leisurely manner.
Meanwhile, Luo Anya was finally discharged from the hospital.
She dressed up carefully. Unlike her usual pink and tender style, this time she wore a black deep V-neck short dress.
Her cleavage is incredibly alluring.
She no longer wanted to be Feng Jue's sister; she wanted to be his woman.
The old lady Feng told her last time that she was worried that if Feng Jue continued to work so recklessly, his health would suffer sooner or later.
Moreover, among the girls she favored, only Luo Anya was the most suitable, and only she was most likely to win Feng Jue's heart. She would spare no effort to bring them together.
Luo Anya then realized that Feng Jue wasn't ignoring her; he was just too busy.
Sure enough, she brought a food box to Tianjue Group today. In the past, she was always turned away, but this time, she took the president's private elevator directly to the president's office.
She pushed open the office door and saw the man she had been longing for day and night engrossed in his work, not even glancing at her.
A man focused on his work is simply too charming. Luo Anya simply gazed at the man's profile, her heart involuntarily quickening.
After finishing his work, Feng Jue finally looked up.
The man already had faint bags under his eyes, but his good looks and natural features made them look like perfect under-eye bags, giving him a somewhat sickly yet beautiful appearance that made Luo Anya stare in disbelief.
Feng Jue frowned. "Leave the food box; you can leave now."
Luo Anya pursed her lips. "I heard from your secretary that you didn't eat breakfast. These are all your favorite dishes. I'll watch you eat a little before I leave."
Feng Jue's patience had clearly run out. "Luo Anya, I don't know what you said to Grandma that made her side with you."
You can come to my office, but sit there for 10 minutes and get out immediately. If you dare to complain to Grandma or say anything untrue, you know what will happen.
Luo Anya's face paled, and she bit her lip hard. However, she quickly realized that men are usually cold and indifferent, and there had been many misunderstandings because of Su Xi's antics, so it was impossible for their attitude towards her to change suddenly.
With Grandma's support anyway, the key is to win a man's heart through his stomach first, and then take care of the rest later.
"Okay, I'll be leaving now. You can text me if you want to eat something tomorrow."
Before Luo Anya could leave the office, Feng Jue coldly ordered, "Liu Cheng, throw the food box into the trash can."
Luo Anya suddenly stopped in her tracks, a huge wave of grievance welling up in her heart, like a ball of thread tightly constricting her heart.
She strangled him until he was bloody and mangled, but she just couldn't bring herself to cut it.
She stubbornly raised her head, forcing back her tears.
Once she and Feng Jue are together, she will make him pay back a thousandfold for all the humiliation she's suffering in bed.

After watching Su Xi finish her meal, Feng Jingnian took her for a 15-minute walk in the garden before finally revealing what had been weighing on his mind.
"Xixi, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
Su Xi looked at the man; she had already noticed that he hesitated to speak after answering a phone call.
The reason he's only saying this now is so that he can give her a good meal, and she can too.
"Let's hear the good news first."
"The people Su Mo sent to investigate you have already left; they haven't found any trace of you."
Su Xi pursed her lips; this wasn't exactly a good thing for her.
She had originally planned to investigate her mother's whereabouts by contacting Su Mo.
"And what about the bad things?"
Feng Jingnian let out a breath, "The bad thing is that Gu Chong got into a car accident."
"What?" Su Xi's heart tightened. "When did this happen?"
She remembered that Gu Chong called her before lunch, while he was driving. Then he suddenly hung up.
At the time, she thought the man was angry because she had repeatedly refused to meet him, and didn't think much of it. Now, looking back...
"It was before lunch."
really-
Hearing Feng Jingnian say this, Su Xi's suspicions were confirmed, and she felt even more guilty.
Gu Chong's car accident was partly her fault. Besides, the man had saved her life and even served time in jail for her…
Her fingers clenched tightly, but when she relaxed them, she seemed at ease. She looked at Feng Jingnian.
"Which hospital is he in? I want to go see him."
Feng Jingnian's pupils trembled slightly. He knew that once a woman made a decision, not even eight oxen could pull her back.
But still unwilling to give up, she asked, "Have you thought it through?"
"yes."
"Alright, it's not convenient for me to show up in person, lest others trace you back to me. I'll send a driver and bodyguards to take you there."
"Okay, thank you."
An hour later, Su Xi arrived at the hospital.
Seeing that Gu Chong's leg was in a cast and hanging up, and although he had injuries on his face and arms, they were clearly not fatal, Su Xi breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"Xixi, you've finally come to see me. If I had known I should have been the one shot last time, we might have met long ago."
"What unlucky things are you saying? I think you should go to a temple to pray recently, you've been having a run of bad luck lately."
"Really? I feel like I hit the jackpot. If it weren't for that gunfight, you wouldn't have contacted me, and if it weren't for this car accident, I wouldn't have met you."
Her first meeting with the man was a blind date, so how could she not know what he was thinking?
“Gu Chong, I only consider you a friend. I should have stayed to take care of you since you were injured, but I’m pregnant. I’ll pay for the caregiver; it’s just a small token of my appreciation.”
No man would want a woman who is pregnant with another man's child.
Sure enough, the man's reaction was more intense than she had imagined.
"What did you say?"
Gu Chong's pupils contracted. He tried to sit up, but his leg, which was in a cast, was pulled, causing his handsome face to twitch slightly in pain, and cold sweat instantly beaded on his forehead.
He didn't care at all; his eyes were fixed on Su Xi's abdomen.
The woman was dressed loosely and had a slender figure; she didn't appear pregnant to the naked eye at first. Clearly, she wasn't very far along in her pregnancy.
Whose child?
"I don't think I need to tell you."
Gu Chong gave a wry smile. "I admit I overstepped my bounds. I'm sorry."
"It's alright, Mr. Gu. If there's anything I can help you with in the future, please contact me. Otherwise, please don't contact me again."
"Okay, I'm relieved to know you're alright. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your whereabouts or your pregnancy."
"Um."
The two chatted for a few more minutes before Su Xi got into her car and left.
Gu Chong was sitting on the hospital bed working on documents when the door to the ward was pushed open.
"Mr. Gu, we've located Su Xi's exact location."
"Okay. Go out." Gu Chong's hand holding the pen slowly tightened until each stroke turned white.
The light in his eyes flickered.
