Chapter 433 Drained by the Fox Spirit (Countdown to the End)
Su Xi jerked away from Feng Jue's embrace as if she had been electrocuted, her mind still reeling from the turmoil.
This document shows that Feng Nianxi's biological father is Feng Jue. How is that possible?
Moreover, it was the old man who orchestrated this, so why?
Su Xi opened her lips, opened them again and again, and after a long moment of stunned silence, she finally came to her senses. "Grandma, is this true? But why? Why would Grandpa do this?"
The old lady sighed, "Of course it's true. The paternity test results are right here. How could it be fake?"
As for the reason, I asked the old man's confidant, and he said that the old man had known for a long time that Jin Chen was infertile. He didn't want to hurt Jin Chen or air his dirty laundry in public, so he used this method to make you and Feng Jue sleep together, so that Feng Jin Chen could have an heir without disrupting the bloodline.
"What?!"
Before the words had even finished, a wailing sound, so shocking and awe-inspiring it made one question the meaning of life, rang out.
It's Feng Jinchen.
After Feng Jinchen and Bai Luwei's wedding was called off some time ago, he personally went to the hospital to wait for his infertility test results.
The moment I finally learned that I was truly infertile, I felt utterly devastated.
However, he didn't make it public; he just focused on work and constantly changed girlfriends in his spare time to numb himself.
Regardless of social class, even the lowest of the low, as long as they are innocent and beautiful, he will accept them all.
Anyway, I'm not afraid they'll come and extort me when they're heavily pregnant, so I don't even need a small umbrella.
I drifted through a period of despair, losing interest in everything.
Only the overwhelming news of Su Xi's engagement prompted him to drag his exhausted body to Z country.
Originally, he lamented that he was still deeply in love and couldn't forget Su Xi even after all this.
It wasn't until he discovered that Su Xi had never betrayed him and that it was all the old man's doing that he finally understood.
It seems that when I went for infertility tests before, the results were also altered by the old man, which is why he was so convinced that I was "capable".
Feng Jinchen was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, and his gaze towards Su Xi was extremely complicated.
If that's the case, he can forgive Su Xi, and they can start over.
"Xi Xi..." Feng Jinchen called softly, his eyes slightly misty, thinking he looked exactly like an irresistibly charming and melancholic prince.
Su Xi looked up and saw Feng Jinchen's unshaven face and dark circles under his eyes, and she couldn't bear to look at him.
Was he drained dry by a vixen?
Su Xi completely ignored Feng Jinchen's pleading and affectionate gaze, looked at the old lady, and asked, "Grandma, when was that?"
"Last year's Qixi Festival."
Upon hearing this, Su Xi paused abruptly and subconsciously turned to look at Feng Jue.
So, it wasn't Su Mo who slept with Feng Jue last Qixi Festival, but her?
But Su Mo kept insisting that it was her.
Seemingly noticing Su Xi's confusion, Feng Jue explained from the side, "I have already investigated. Last year on Qixi Festival, Su Mo's schedule was not in the country."
Upon hearing this, Su Xi's pupils trembled, and she had no choice but to believe the truth.
Feng Nianxi's biological father is indeed Feng Jue.
The amount of information was so overwhelming that she couldn't calm down for a long time.
Feng Jinchen was also shocked, his eyes wide with disbelief. After a long while, he said, "Xixi, if you're willing, we can start over. I will treat Nianxi as my own daughter."
No man can accept becoming a father unexpectedly, but if he is incapable and the father of the child is Feng Jue, he can barely accept it.
There's a sense of exhilaration, like snatching away Feng Jue's own flesh and blood.
Moreover, with a kind mother and a strict father, he could also beat Feng Jue's child, which was also a kind of satisfying punishment.
However, not only was Su Xi speechless and disgusted, but even the old lady couldn't stand it anymore. "Jinchen, stop making trouble. You are no longer good enough for Su Xi."
Of course, the old lady dotes on her grandson, but Su Xi just got incredibly lucky; the child's father is Feng Jue.
Firstly, they couldn't afford to offend Feng Jue; secondly, Feng Jue would never willingly hand over his own flesh and blood. It was simply impossible.
Feng Jinchen clearly couldn't understand this, and seeing that his grandmother was still so biased, he was immediately furious.
Regardless of the circumstances, Su Xi was originally his wife.
It is also true that Feng Jue framed himself.
No matter how you look at it, you're the victim yourself. This old lady is just incredibly biased!
Seeing that Feng Jinchen was extremely emotionally unstable and looked like he was about to explode, the old lady gave him a look, and immediately bodyguards rushed over and carried Feng Jinchen away.
The old lady didn't forget to speak on her microphone and explain to the guests, "I'm sorry everyone, Jinchen drank too much and has a slight case of alcohol poisoning. Please don't worry."
The audience below the stage: "..."
We thought you had long forgotten about us.
But shouldn't you also open up your private conversations and let us hear them too?
Unfortunately, the old lady immediately turned off her microphone after saying that.
Everyone fell silent again. Was there anything our distinguished, luxurious, and esteemed guests couldn't hear?
This is absolutely outrageous!
The old lady looked at Feng Jue, then at Su Xi, and said sincerely, "Although I opposed you two being together, and even now I feel a little uncomfortable, it's fate, it's destiny."
As she spoke, she subtly winked at Feng Jue. An iceberg can be iceberg anytime, but not now, unless he wants to remain single forever by his own merit.
Having received a subtle hint from the old lady, Feng Jue tried his best to make his icy expression appear warmer and his sharply defined chin look cuter.
She cleared her throat and said softly, "Xixi, I know I did many things wrong in the past, and I'm not perfect, but I will definitely correct them in the future and try my best to become the person you like. Okay?"
Su Xi slowly turned around and looked at Feng Jue, her gaze cold and indifferent, like a blade falling on Feng Jue.
Therefore, Feng Jue had long suspected that Nianxi might be his child, yet he ignored the mother and daughter, leaving them to endure gossip and harsh criticism.
Did he repeatedly put them in dangerous situations just to maintain his aloof image?
Su Xi will not forgive.
Su Xi scoffed and said coldly,
"Feng Jue, do you think I'm just a servant you can summon and dismiss at will? Why should I accept you just because you say a few kind words? If I don't accept you, Nianxi won't accept you either."
She turned to leave after saying that, but Feng Jue grabbed her wrist.
"Xixi, I'm sorry. I know I did something wrong and hurt you, but I can explain."
"I don't want to hear it, let go."
When Feng Jue met the woman's gaze, which seemed to look at him like he was an enemy, his heart skipped a beat, and he loosened his grip considerably.
Su Xi forcefully shook off his hand and turned to leave.
The old lady, trembling, stood in front of her and said earnestly, "Xixi, give Grandma some face."
Su Xi felt a lump in her throat. Back when Feng Jue was aloof and Feng Jinchen was a scumbag, it was indeed only the old lady who protected her and was her only source of warmth.
Seeing the old lady's trembling figure, she didn't want to rush over and accidentally knock her down and hurt her.
Su Xi could only stop in her tracks.
Su Changduo quickly advised, "Su Xi, I know you're angry, but Nianxi can't live without her father. She needs a complete family and a complete childhood. Think about the child. At worst, you can get a divorce when the child grows up."
What followed was naturally an excuse, a delaying tactic, but Su Xi took it to heart.
Su Changduo is right. Nianxi has her own biological father, and a father of such high status at that. Compared to having only a single mother by her side, it's like heaven and earth.
Not only in terms of living conditions, material things, and psychological well-being, but also in terms of safety, Feng Jue can provide her with the best.
She may hate Feng Jue, but that doesn't mean Nian Xi hates Feng Jue.
Moreover, now that I think about it, Nianxi's narrow escape from Wu Kang's clutches and subsequent placement with Feng Xuan and Li Tong was likely Feng Jue's doing.
Thinking about it this way, Feng Jue wasn't as bad as she thought; he did accomplish a little bit of something.
Moreover, just a short while ago, she was using the child as an excuse to persuade Ye Qingqian to get married. How come she can't see things clearly when it's her turn?
With this in mind, Su Xi had already made up her mind.
It's just a matter of mutual benefit and exploitation. She can get married for the sake of the child and then divorce later, let alone now that it's just a small engagement.
At this moment, Aunt Liu also came onto the stage with the child. Su Xi was about to reach out to hug her, but Feng Jue took the child in his arms first and forcefully put his other arm around Su Xi.
It was clear that Feng Nianxi liked Feng Jue very much; she kept grinning with her toothless mouth, her chubby little hands clumsily touching Feng Jue's face.
Clearly, in the baby's mind, this face was also considered invincible.
This was the first time Feng Jue had smiled in public. Su Xi almost drowned in his gentle and doting gaze after just one glance.
Her icy gaze gradually softened.
Below the stage, the guests looked at the unusual combination of the three people on stage, who resembled a sweet family of three. They were all surprised and shocked, and extremely gossipy.
At the old lady's glance, all the microphones on stage turned on. The old lady then gave Feng Jue another glance.
Feng Jue understood, placed Nianxi in the old lady's arms, then walked to Su Xi, took her hand, and knelt down on one knee in front of everyone. He took out a large diamond ring from his pocket and said softly,
"Xixi, this diamond ring was made according to your preferred design. I always keep it close to my body, ready to wear it at any time. Many times I've wanted to take it out, but I haven't had the courage. I also know that you don't like me, reject me, and hate me."
But now, I hope you will give me a chance.
Give me a chance to prove I like you and that I can make you fall in love with me, okay?
The guests in the audience were stunned for a moment after hearing this long and heartfelt confession.
Although this pairing is somewhat strange and their identities are severely unequal, shipping couples is everyone's nature.
The love story of Cinderella and the prince, wow, it's so sweet!
Then many people started chanting, "Say yes! Say yes! Be together! Be together! Wuhu!"
Even Feng Nianxi was clapping her little hands and giggling.
The moment her daughter's laughter reached her ears, Su Xi didn't hesitate for a moment and reached out her hand, "I agree."
The audience erupted in thunderous applause that lasted for a long time.
Su Changduo's palms were red from clapping, and his eyes were burning.
Actually, his feelings were quite complicated. The reason he didn't stop those outrageous rumors before was to test Feng Jue's feelings for Su Xi.
Looking at it now, it's clear that this bickering couple truly cares for each other, but they each have their own things they can't let go of, which is what makes the child suffer.
Not only did Su Xi's child, Feng Nianxi, suffer greatly from the time she was in the womb, but she also endured numerous hardships.
It also caused suffering for his child, Su Mo.
The last time the old lady told him, Feng Nianxi was Feng Jue and Su Xi's child, and about their complicated and bizarre story.
At that time, Su Changduo understood that Su Mo and Feng Jue had no future together, and that continuing to persist would only lead to a deeper and deeper entanglement and a bad ending.
He had no choice but to personally intervene and break up the couple, so that his daughter could give up on him.
At the time, he was only focused on getting this done and didn't think too much about it, but now he feels extremely sorry for his daughter.
At this moment, the blessings given to Su Xi and Feng Jue were also heartfelt.
My feelings are a mix of emotions.
However, Su Mo has been sensible and considerate since she was little, so she should be able to understand his good intentions, right? More than a year ago, he was sure that Su Mo would understand his good intentions, but after that, he was a little unsure.
Su Changduo's handsome face was smiling, but his brows were slightly furrowed.
The scene gradually quieted down.
Many people offered their blessings and expressed excitement, but there were also some dissenting voices.
"Wasn't this supposed to be Su Changduo and Su Xi's engagement banquet?"
Can anyone tell me how it turned out this way?
This is so melodramatic!
Hearing such discussions, Su Changduo cleared his throat and announced,
"Ladies and gentlemen, this has been Su Xi's engagement banquet from beginning to end. It was I who wanted to bring Feng Jue and Su Xi together."
As for me, I hit it off with Su Xi at first sight, but given my age, how could I possibly do something like the rumored rebellion against the natural order? Just take it as a joke, it would be ridiculous to take it seriously.
In addition, today is also my family recognition banquet; I am recognizing Su Xi as my goddaughter.
The moment those words were spoken, the crowd erupted in another uproar of amazement, and even more so, envy.
Su Xi stared wide-eyed in disbelief, waving her hands repeatedly to indicate that she was not worthy and did not want to climb the social ladder.
Feng Jue smiled and nudged her, "Believe me, you're worthy."
Su Xi glared at him fiercely. Don't think that just because you're engaged, she'll give you a nice look. No way.
Feng Jue touched his nose, a smile playing in his eyes.
Although Su Xi felt it was too dreamy, she couldn't resist Su Changduo's enthusiasm, the old lady's persuasion, and Feng Jue's crazy remarks that "you are his daughter, and he is your father." Su Xi had no choice but to agree.
The guests attended a banquet, but instead witnessed a grand engagement party and a grand family reunion banquet, making it an exceptionally good deal.
Su Xi is so lucky, she has everything overnight, making everyone so envious that their eyes are red like rabbits.
Amidst the joyful atmosphere, the old lady secretly whispered to Feng Jue with some concern,
"These idiots still haven't realized what's happening and are still grinning like fools."
After all, if we go back a bit in Feng Nianxi's age, we can calculate that she was still in a marital relationship with Feng Jinchen and Su Xi, which is not something to be proud of.
This is a moral issue no matter where you look at it; it's a complete deadlock. How do we break this deadlock?
Feng Jue, however, looked relaxed and confident. "Don't worry, this is not a problem at all. It's easy to solve. Because Su Xi is not Su Xi, you'll find out in a moment."
The old lady was completely baffled and wanted him to explain, but Feng Jue kept his mouth shut and wouldn't say a word.
The old lady could only wait anxiously for what would happen next.
How could such a dead end suddenly turn around and reverse the situation? She was quite old and had a lot of experience, but even if she racked her brains, she couldn't figure it out.
Let's wait and see.
Just as the excitement on stage subsided, a conflict suddenly erupted in the VIP section below.
In the front row of VIP seats sat a handsome and refined young man.
Others may not know who he is, but Su Changduo, the host, does. He is Fan Chen, the most low-profile Forbes billionaire in Shanghai, China, and the president of the Fan Group.
Wu Yaoyao sneaked into the venue as the female companion of a 70-year-old man and witnessed Su Xi's sudden rise from Cinderella to the pinnacle of life. She was so angry that she was trembling all over, her eyes were redder than a rabbit's, her jealousy was overwhelming, and her unwillingness made her want to burn everything down.
However, she had long understood that once her shameful deeds were exposed, there would be no possibility for her to have anything to do with the Feng family or Feng Jue anymore.
Her only chance to turn things around now is through the child's biological father, Fan Chen.
However, Fan Chen was surrounded by many bodyguards, and she dared not approach for a moment, fearing that if she did, she would be gagged and thrown out. She wouldn't even have a chance to speak.
She waited patiently for a very long time, but no suitable opportunity came along.
Finally, amidst the lively and festive atmosphere on stage, the bodyguards below the stage began to relax, and Wu Yaoyao finally managed to slip away, getting within two or three meters of Fan Chen.
The moment their eyes met, Wu Yaoyao was absolutely certain that this was the man she had spent a passionate night with. There was no mistake.
Therefore, Wu Yaoyao boldly spoke up.
"Fan Chen, I've finally found you."
With just that one shout, he drew the attention of almost everyone.
Fan Chen, a name that has always been widely known, but whose face has never been seen. Now, finally, we can see him in person.
Wu Yaoyao was so excited she almost ascended to heaven, and continued...
