Chapter 397 Su Xi's mother is actually her/his relative.
Mo Qian shoved Su Xi in the chest with disgust and said coldly, "Security, get this lunatic out of here."
She meant to hit them, so those bodyguards definitely wouldn't have carried them or invited them.
Shen Congxuan immediately felt a sense of impending doom and tried to pull Su Xi away.
But even after being pushed and staggering, Su Xi still bit her lip tightly, took a step forward, and stared straight into Mo Qian's eyes.
Tears streamed down her face as if they were free.
Mo Qian, a decisive and strong woman, usually detested this kind of fussy, indecisive woman. Especially since this woman was pretending to be her daughter.
If she really is her daughter, then the crime is even more serious.
In short, every glance she gave Su Xi was filled with disgust.
She couldn't take it anymore and slapped Su Xi across the face.
With a "smack," a bright red handprint appeared on Su Xi's face, showing that Mo Qian loathed Su Xi and didn't hold back at all.
Almost simultaneously, the bodyguards rushed up as well.
Just as Mo Qian had instructed, they raised their hands to hit Su Xi, intending to knock her away.
Snap!
A slap landed hard on Shen Congxuan's face.
The usually gentle, meticulous, and abstinent male god had his gold-rimmed glasses knocked off.
But he didn't care about his image at all, only firmly protecting Su Xi behind him, and said to Mo Qian in a very fast voice,
"Mr. Mo, she's pregnant. You can't hit her. I apologize on her behalf, and I'll take her away now."
Mo Qian seemed to only then realize that Su Xi was heavily pregnant, and felt extremely unlucky. She raised her hand to stop the bodyguard's next attack, and only coldly reprimanded Shen Congxuan.
"Aren't you going to get out of here with her?"
“…Yes!” Shen Congxuan tugged at Su Xi. “Miss Su, let’s go.”
Su Xi, however, stubbornly refused to budge.
Shen Congxuan glanced at the menacing bodyguards and Mo Qian, whose face was as black as a demon, and without a word, bent down and lifted Su Xi up horizontally.
They carried him straight out of the conference room.
"Put me down. I want to get down..." Su Xi's struggles turned Shen Congxuan's meticulously styled hair into a bird's nest.
There were also large and small scratches on his face and neck.
But she was still too weak and was eventually taken away from the conference room.
The heavy doors to the conference room closed immediately. Several bodyguards in black stood guard outside, staring menacingly at Su Xi.
It seemed that Su Xi would have no chance of getting into the meeting room.
But the thought that Mo Qian was her mother, and that her mother was still alive, made Su Xi tremble with excitement and weep with joy.
Shen Congxuan advised, "You're pregnant, you shouldn't get too excited. Let's go back first."
Su Xi's voice was still trembling slightly, "How could I not be excited? You know what? I'm certain that Mo Qian is..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Congxuan interrupted him, saying, "We'll talk about it when we get back."
As he spoke, he pulled Su Xi outside, whispering in her ear, "Be careful, the walls may be listening."
Su Xi glanced at the tightly closed door, unwilling to give up, and could only leave first.
Once in the office and with the door closed, Shen Congxuan was somewhat speechless.
"Miss Su, Sister Su, Eldest Sister Su, why are you so agitated?"
Do you know that the business world is like a battlefield? Mo Qian has more daughters, which means there are more places to divide the family fortune. Mo Qian may not do anything to you, but the other members of the Mo family can be forgiven. They would love to devour you like a black-eyed chicken.
Especially Mo Yang.
What's worse, I could see that Mo Qian was looking at you with a look of utter hatred, as if she wanted to kill you. Even though I don't understand why, can't you sense the danger?
"If I'd known you'd be so agitated, I shouldn't have let you come."
Shen Congxuan was talking to himself when he suddenly saw his messy short hair and the fact that he wasn't wearing glasses in the reflection of the glass. He looked like he had been ravaged, and he abruptly stopped talking.
She took a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from the drawer and put them on, then carefully styled her short hair, stroke by stroke.
He quickly regained his abstinent and gentle demeanor.
Su Xi sat motionless on the sofa, recalling the various circumstances of her encounter with Mo Qian and Shen Congxuan's words, which she also went through in her mind.
She could tell that Mo Qian truly loathed her, and it seemed that she had no memory of what happened before.
She will definitely investigate what exactly happened.
But even if Mo Qian doesn't have her previous memories, she shouldn't hate her so much, right?
Su Xi couldn't understand this at all, and she was very hurt, becoming completely dejected.
Her mind is in a mess right now.
Seeing that Shen Congxuan had finished tidying up and was already sitting opposite her, personally brewing a cup of tea and handing it to her, Su Xi did not take it.
He simply said, "Mr. Shen, I'm in a bad mood today. So I probably won't be able to help you with anything. Maybe next time."
Shen Congxuan smiled and said, "You've already helped me. We're even now."
Su Xi asked, puzzled, "When did this happen?"
"Just now, all I needed your help with was getting to a meeting. You did. And I got the answer I wanted. Your relationship with Mo Qian is definitely not simple."
Su Xi was stunned. "Is this what you mean by asking me for help? You were clearly helping me. Didn't you say you wanted me to help you get rid of Fu Ruyan's control?"
Shen Congxuan's eyes flickered, and he seemed unwilling to say more. "In short, we're even."
Su Xi pursed her lips. The affair between Shen Congxuan and Fu Ruyan was indeed dishonorable, so it was understandable that he didn't want to talk about it further.
Although she didn't understand how the matter was settled, the other party had confirmed it personally, and she wasn't exactly free to help out, so she didn't say anything more.
Shen Congxuan handed the tea to Su Xi again. Su Xi took it, tasted it, and the crisp aroma of the tea cleared her mind for a moment, and her mood was no longer as depressed as before.
As for Shen Congxuan's concern that the Mo family would be at a disadvantage to her because she was another person to divide the property, she felt that it was somewhat alarmist.
She doesn't lack money.
On the contrary, if the Mo family could help her reunite with her mother, she would even give them money as a token of her gratitude.
Moreover, this is a great nation, a society governed by the rule of law.
Su Xi was optimistic, but things might not be so clear-cut on the other side of the conference room.
Adhering to the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free," Mo Yang secretly used his mobile phone to send out the task while the meeting was still in progress.
He was determined to take Su Xi's head.
In the afternoon, Shen Congxuan drove Su Xi to the airport, but did not see her off at the boarding gate.
Su Xi didn't think much of it.
Half an hour later, after successfully boarding the plane, as it took off into the blue sky, Su Xi was about to close her eyes to rest when she noticed out of the corner of her eye a tall, long-legged young man wearing sunglasses who looked vaguely familiar to her walking towards her.
The man bent down and spoke to the woman sitting outside her.
"Could we switch seats?"
Why does that voice sound so familiar?
The moment Su Xi turned her head to look, the man had already switched seats with the woman and sat down.
Seeing the man sitting upright next to her, Su Xi's eyes widened involuntarily, filled with disbelief. After a long while, she exclaimed in surprise.
"You... how did you get here?"
Shen Congxuan slowly and deliberately took off his sunglasses, then skillfully put on gold-rimmed glasses, before smiling.
"I didn't think things through today, and I have a feeling that it might cause you trouble, so I'm going to Los Angeles with you."
Su Xi's expression was indescribable; she felt he was making a mountain out of a molehill. Her lips moved a few times before she found her voice, "You're not even taking care of your work anymore?"
"You are more important."
Su Xi was speechless.
The two remained silent the entire way.
As the plane landed outside the airport, Su Xi took out her phone to hail a taxi, but Shen Congxuan grabbed her hand and turned off her phone screen along with it.
He pulled her forward, saying, "No need to take a taxi, my car is in the parking lot."
Su Xi was taken aback, then remembered that Shen Congxuan was a well-known figure in Luocheng, so it would be easy for him to make a phone call and have his car parked in the parking lot.
However, his holding her hand was a bit too ambiguous.
Su Xi shook off his hand and said coldly, "If you continue to be so tactless, we won't even be able to be friends anymore."
“…Alright.” Shen Congxuan pouted helplessly and let go of Su Xi’s hand.
Upon arriving at the parking lot, Shen Congxuan cautiously surveyed the surroundings, and only after confirming that everything was alright did he open the car door and let Su Xi get in.
Shen Congxuan drove very steadily. Su Xi looked at the familiar buildings and streets outside the car window and was filled with emotion.
When the journey was halfway complete,
Sudden,
Shen Congxuan gripped the steering wheel tightly, swerved sharply, and slammed on the gas pedal, his voice heavy with urgency.
"Hold on tight, we're being watched."
Before Su Xi could react to what he meant, she heard a loud bang as a car rear-ended her.
There was a car in front, so Shen Congxuan had to brake. The smoke from the friction between the tires and the ground suddenly rose up, and a strange smell rushed into Su Xi's nostrils, causing her to gag repeatedly.
Before she could react to what was happening, Shen Congxuan had already gotten out of the car, opened the door, and pulled her out.
"Run!"
Su Xi didn't have time to think much, so she could only get out of the car with Shen Congxuan and run towards the green belt.
Soon, several men in black got out of the car that had rear-ended them. After seeing that the car was empty, they looked around and quickly chased after Su Xi and Shen Congxuan.
Seeing five or six burly, well-trained men chasing after her, Su Xi's pupils contracted.
The distance is getting closer and closer; running like this isn't a solution.
Anxious and not watching where she was going, Su Xi tripped over a stone and felt like her toes were about to split open, losing her balance instantly.
Shen Congxuan could only stop and help Su Xi up.
This delay allowed five or six burly men to quickly surround them.
He brandished a gleaming dagger.
Su Xi's pupils constricted sharply to pinpoints.
She looked at Shen Congxuan's pale, scholarly face, and knew he was weak and powerless; he couldn't even beat one of them, let alone six.
Moreover, they were all armed.
They, or rather she, are likely doomed.
After all, she could tell that those people were only targeting her, Su Xi.
Su Xi unconsciously touched her abdomen. Even for the sake of the child, she couldn't just give up.
Su Xi closed her eyes and turned to run, but Shen Congxuan grabbed her shoulder.
"It's too late."
The man's words rang in her ears, and Su Xi's last glimmer of hope for life was shattered.
As the criminal drew ever closer, her legs felt as if they were walking on cotton.
He was swaying precariously.
On the other side,
The man and woman in a luxury car witnessed the entire incident when the rear-end collision occurred.
Su Mo was naturally happy to see Su Xi in trouble.
But before her smile could widen, Feng Jue's voice rang in her ears, "Mo Mo, I'm going down to take a look."
Su Mo's expression froze. Her face instantly turned somewhat pale.
Before she could answer, she watched helplessly as Shen Congxuan dragged Su Xi away and ran towards the green belt as if their lives depended on it.
Soon after, several bodyguards who looked like assassins also gave chase.
Su Mo felt a surge of secret satisfaction. Heavens above, earth below, which great deity had avenged her such anger?
"A-Jue, it's dangerous there, you should..."
"I'm fine." Feng Jue said decisively, leaving no room for argument. As he got out of the car, he looked at the driver and said, "Take Miss Su to Tianjue safely, and I'll be there shortly."
Without waiting for Su Mo's reply, he strode quickly toward the green belt.
Even after the man's figure disappeared into the lush greenery, Su Mo's eyes remained filled with hatred, and she almost bit her lower lip until it bled.
However, this isn't the first or second time this has happened.
Last time it was Feng Jingnian and Nie Wuyai, the time before that it was Gu Chong, and this time it's Shen Congxuan.
She was overthinking things the first two times, but this time...
The previous two times, due to Feng Jue's interference, Su Xi had completely broken ties with Gu Chong and Feng Jingnian. So this time, will it make Shen Congxuan also completely despise that vixen Su Xi?
Therefore, Feng Jue severed all of Su Xi's romantic prospects, leaving this parasitic flower that only relied on men with no tree to lean on, ultimately leading to her utter defeat.
Thinking of this, Su Mo's emotions finally calmed down.
She believed in Feng Jue, and even more so in her own charm. Any man who wasn't blind would know how to choose between her and Su Xi.
Having figured this out, Su Mo's complexion visibly improved. She instructed the driver, "Let's drive."
The luxury car quickly disappeared at the end of the road.
Another place.
Su Xi's face turned deathly pale; in that instant, she thought she was about to die.
Shen Congxuan suddenly pulled a dark object from his pocket.
Su Xi didn't even see what he took out before she heard two loud thuds, followed by the two people running in front falling to the ground.
Blood was gushing from his body.
The bloody hole was clearly a gunshot wound.
Sure enough, Su Xi turned her head and saw that Shen Congxuan was holding a gun.
He... he actually killed someone.
Su Xi looked at the cold-faced man and could hardly believe her eyes, as if she were meeting Shen Congxuan for the first time.
Those were two living, breathing human lives, and he killed them without even blinking, which sent chills down Su Xi's spine.
Her gaze slowly, slowly, fell back from the man's face to the gun.
She had seen this gun before; it was the latest model from the Chinese military, extremely rare and priceless, impossible for ordinary people to buy. Even if one managed to acquire it, it would only have a maximum of three bullets.
So, Shen Congxuan angered these thugs with his killings, but he couldn't escape unscathed, right?
Three people, how can one bullet be enough?
Su Xi's heart pounded wildly, her eyes flickering slightly as she looked at the three men who dared not step forward but whose eyes were bloodshot.
They prayed in their hearts that they wouldn't be able to guess how many bullets were left in the gun.
Otherwise, her fate would be even worse; she would be torn to pieces by them.
