Chapter 145 Which Feng Jinchen?
Su Xi reached out and grabbed Huang Sifeng's hand, but the woman's grip was too strong, and she still stumbled backward, accidentally hitting her lower back on the corner of the table, which hurt so much that tears streamed down her face.
"Aunt, please explain things clearly."
"Don't you know what kind of mess you've made? Pay me back first, then we'll settle the score."
Su Xi picked up the hospital bill and transferred the money.
Upon receiving the transfer, the woman's expression softened slightly. She tossed the old lady's basic mobile phone to Su Xi, saying, "Listen to it yourself." Then she lay down on the bed next to her and went to sleep.
The old lady has a bad memory; she rarely makes phone calls and always records them so she can listen to them when she has nothing else to do.
Su Xi opened the call recording and immediately heard Feng Jinchen's voice, feeling a sense of absurdity that she had expected this.
She exaggerated her own affairs to the old lady, while remaining silent about her own disgusting deeds and even glorifying herself. It was utterly shameless.
Su Xi left the ward and dialed Feng Jinchen's number.
The man was woken up, his brows furrowed with impatience. When he saw it was Su Xi calling, his pupils contracted slightly. Could it be that the old woman had been angered to death?
This has nothing to do with him; he's just stating the facts. He answered the phone, his voice icy, "Hello?"
"Feng Jinchen, are you even human? Do you think other people's lives are so worthless?"
She immediately launched into a tirade, which angered the man, who raised his voice, "She's just as old as me. I'm only in my twenties and you almost drove me to my death, so what do you have to say for me?"
Su Xi, look at the time. I'm already being lenient by answering your call. Do you think you're still in my heart as before? Don't think too highly of yourself.
Let me tell you, even if you strip naked and chase me for two miles, I won't give you a second glance.
But you're still my wife in name only. If you dare cheat on me, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll do anything that can hurt you. You decide what to do.
Hearing the beeping sound from the other end, Su Xi closed her eyes, her feelings indescribable.
"The old lady is awake, come quickly."
As soon as Huang Sifeng's voice rang out, Su Xi quickly composed herself and hurried into the room.
"Water, drink water..." the old woman's voice was hoarse.
"Mom, I'm pouring it now." Huang Sifeng sat on the bed, chuckling, and gave Su Xi a fierce look, gesturing for her to pour the water.
Su Xi hurriedly poured a glass of warm water and fed it to the old lady through a curved straw. The old lady drank half a glass and then refused to drink any more.
After lying down for a while, the old lady's eyes were noticeably clearer, and her voice was still quite loud. "Si Feng, thank you so much for today. I thought Su Xi was a good person, a luminous pearl, but she doesn't shine at all. She's really useless, a rebellious daughter, a traitor."
Huang Sifeng grinned crookedly. A pearl that doesn't emit light? Isn't that just a sheep dropping? She glanced at Su Xi with disdain, her voice obedient, "Mom, it's getting late, go to sleep."
The old lady was clearly not sleepy. She tilted her head and looked over, only to see that the person standing by the bedside feeding her water was Su Xi.
"It's you? How dare you show your face here?"
Su Xi pursed her lips and, seeing that the old lady was about to sit up, she rocked the hospital bed up and adjusted it to a comfortable position.
As soon as she sat down, the old lady couldn't help but scold, "It's just cheating and having a mistress. You can't even have children, so what's so intolerable? You actually want a divorce. Are you that high and mighty?"
Do you know how much incense and good karma the Su family accumulated to allow you to marry into such a wealthy family? You just throw it away so easily, how can you be so arrogant? I really want to beat you to death.
In the heat of the moment, the old man slapped her. Su Xi was far enough away that the slap only hit her arm.
"You still dare to hide? Come here right now."
Huang Sifeng, always eager for drama, pushed Su Xi to sit on the hospital bed, saying, "Go over there, do you want to anger your grandmother to death?"
The old lady was impulsive and regretted it after she did it. She didn't do anything more, but just glared at Su Xi with disappointment.
"Mom, don't get so upset, it's not worth it. I've known for a long time that she's a useless coward. She squandered a great opportunity. If she were my daughter, I would have killed her long ago."
Ordinary families might have multiple partners, but as long as they're not killed, they still live together. But you, who can't have children, can't even tolerate a small act of infidelity. Are you made of gold and diamonds? What are you pretending to be, this virtuous and chaste woman?
The old lady glanced at Huang Sifeng and said, "Don't speak so rudely."
She then looked at Su Xi and sighed, "Jin Chen is good in every way, such a good boy. Just because he was drugged and slept with a woman after drinking, can't you forgive him? Besides, you can't have children. Even if he's bad in every way, you can't divorce him for the sake of money."
"You're withdrawing the divorce proceedings tomorrow, do you hear me?"
Huang Sifeng looked at Su Xi with a half-smile, "Answer me. Can't you hear what Grandma is saying?"
"Grandma, the divorce proceedings cannot be withdrawn."
Snap!
The old lady, unable to bear it any longer, slapped Su Xi across the face. Su Xi's face turned to the side from the slap; though the slap landed on her cheek, the pain was in her heart.
The old lady's hands trembled, and she was so angry that she could hardly breathe. She said with a pained expression, "Su Xi, I remember you used to be very tactful. How come you're so stubborn now?"
Huang Sifeng quickly tried to soothe the old lady, then looked at Su Xi with a mocking expression, "What was the verdict yesterday?"
This good-for-nothing is lucky if he doesn't lose money.
"If we divorce, I can get 20% of the family property, which is about 20 billion."
What? Both of them were suddenly stunned, and their faces instantly turned somewhat embarrassed.
Huang Sifeng chuckled and said, "Xiaoxi, even if you get a lot of money, your reputation will be ruined. We're just doing this for your own good."
She really didn't expect that this good-for-nothing would actually be able to get money, and so much of it. She figured she might as well give him a little face for the sake of the money.
Huang Sifeng's eyes darted around, and she quickly made up her mind. If Su Xi could really get 20 billion, she could have her son marry this woman, and she would reluctantly accept such a foolish daughter-in-law.
It's a pity her precious son is with this second-hand woman. She'll take advantage of him and then find him someone better.
Having made up her mind, Huang Sifeng couldn't help but speak up, "This money should be kept safe, perhaps..."
Seeing the greed in the woman's eyes, Su Xi said calmly, "This is only the first trial. We will receive the money after the second trial."
"Huh? There's a second trial? How confident are you?"
"It's about 50/50."
Huang Sifeng frowned. "That's too little of a chance. And even if you were awarded 20 billion, that man might not actually give you the money. There are plenty of deadbeats in this world."
Seeing that the two men wanted to persuade her to withdraw the divorce, Su Xi could only say, "Don't worry, as long as the judgment is made, my uncle will help me get the money."
"Uncle? The one who stopped Feng Jinchen from targeting our company, Feng Jue?" Huang Sifeng's eyes lit up as she suddenly discovered a promising path.
Su Xi nodded.
The old lady frowned deeply. "Feng Jinchen dealing with the company? Which Feng Jinchen?"
In the old lady's heart, Feng Jinchen cherished Su Xi and treated her family very well because of his love for her. How could he possibly harm their company?
