Chapter 176 I Just Love Second Marriages
Su Xi lowered her eyes. "It was Pei Yun Shen who deliberately framed and smeared me, just to get revenge for Luo Anya."
Feng Jinchen was furious. "You make it sound so easy, who would believe that?"
"I believe you." Those two words were spoken with absolute conviction.
Everyone looked at the old lady.
The old lady said in a deep voice, "I think these photos were probably released by the Luo family or the Pei family. They have grievances in their hearts, so let them vent them."
"Once we've vented, we'll handle the PR. We're just friends, not intimate or sleeping together, so what's there to be afraid of? Those who are hurling insults are just paid trolls; we'll hire them to whitewash us later."
Feng Jinchen clearly disagreed, but he didn't say anything and just glared at Su Xi.
The old lady then looked at Su Xi, "The Luo family has a lot of prejudice against you. Just post it online for two days. When you run into them, Grandma will help you apologize, and that will be the end of it. After all, you made them kneel down before you, so being scolded for two days won't hurt you much. You should be able to accept that, right?"
Su Xi nodded. "Mm."
Wu Yaoyao couldn't help but chuckle. First a sweet treat, then a harsh one—Su Xi was left with no choice but to accept it, even if she didn't want to. It was truly hilarious. The old lady was definitely the better one.
Hearing the laughter, the old lady frowned and looked over. "Wu Yaoyao, what are you laughing at?"
Wu Yaoyao's face stiffened, and she looked aggrieved and obedient. "Grandma, I accidentally choked on my saliva. I didn't laugh."
She rubbed her belly in circles as she spoke. For the sake of her great-grandson, shouldn't the old lady have taken the initiative to have surgery on her?
The old woman sneered, "You're really something else, your dirty tricks disgust me."
Wu Yaoyao's face paled, and a fire instantly welled up inside her. This favoritism was outrageous; could Su Xi be her old lover's illegitimate daughter?
"I'm asking you, did you vomit under that mimosa tree near the covered corridor? If you're having morning sickness, you should at least tell the servants to clean it up. What kind of mess is this, leaving it there? Isn't it disgusting?"
Wu Yaoyao was completely bewildered.
Su Xi clenched her fingers tightly, her face burning with embarrassment.
"You're not allowed to vomit everywhere anymore. If you really can't hold it in, just tell the servants to clean it up. I can tell you're not without a mouth, but you don't say anything when you should, and you keep babbling on and on when you shouldn't."
Faced with the old lady's sarcastic remarks, Wu Yaoyao was filled with confusion and doubt. Her gaze swept over everyone. If it wasn't her who vomited, could it be that someone in the old house was pregnant?
The woman narrowed her eyes slightly as her gaze fell on Su Xi.
Was Su Xi's infertility test report tampered with by Wu Kang? Could it be that this woman is really infertile?
That really is karma.
A smug smile played on her lips as her gaze swept over the maids. Several of them were indeed quite attractive. A warning bell rang in her mind.
She suddenly looked at Feng Jinchen, who remained calm and composed, showing no signs of having gotten a maid pregnant.
But Wu Yaoyao still harbored a thorn in her side. If he could be seduced by a mere secretary, he might also be tempted by a lowly maid.
She was determined to find out who was pregnant in the old house.
The food was already on the table. The aroma of the food filled the air.
"Why hasn't A-Jue arrived yet?"
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Feng Jue, dressed in a sharp suit, is unapproachable and keeps strangers at bay.
Su Xi glanced at it once and then looked away.
"A-Jue, you really married Anya? You didn't do anything underhanded, did you?"
"No, it's just a wedding, nothing big."
The old lady scolded, "I can still tell from your tone that you're resentful."
"No, it's just a piece of paper. Anyway, we'll be divorced soon. Didn't you say that someone is a divorcee and not good enough for me? I'll be a divorcee soon too."
“I like second marriages.” He looked at Feng Jinchen. “I like coveting other people’s wives.”
Then he looked at the old man and woman, "Next time I find a divorced man, Mom and Dad probably won't mind anymore, right?"
After those few words, the restaurant fell silent.
Su Xi's calm heart was suddenly rippled with waves, and she almost lost her composure.
Feng Jinchen's handsome face turned a deep shade of liver with anger.
The old man's beard trembled, and the old woman's smile was more like a grimace.
"A-Jue, what's wrong with Anya? Why are you treating her like this?"
"It's precisely because she's so wonderful that I agreed to marry her and save her. Once she's fully recovered, we'll get a divorce so as not to hinder her from finding her own happiness. Isn't this what you and her parents agreed upon?"
"That's true, but do you really have absolutely no feelings for her?"
"No."
The old lady choked. How was she supposed to explain this to her mother-in-law? What she said back then was just an excuse; she hadn't expected Feng Jue to be so resolute.
"Hehe, if you and Anya divorce, then Anya will also be in her second marriage. Don't you like second marriages?"
Feng Jue glanced at her, and the old lady swallowed back what she was about to say. She was so angry that she had said such foolish things.
"No matter what happens in the future, Anya is your wife now. You must treat her well and do everything you can to wake her up."
"I know."
The old man, who had been silent until now, said quietly, "Qiao Li is also getting married for the second time. If you marry her, our whole family will wholeheartedly approve. As for the rest, hmph!"
The old man snorted coldly, his sharp, hawk-like gaze lightly landing on Su Xi.
Even though it was just a fleeting glance, Su Xi felt a prickling sensation in her back, and her grip on the knife and fork tightened involuntarily.
Feng Jue scoffed coldly. He clearly found the old man's words utterly ridiculous.
The old man's face darkened, and he was about to speak when the old woman glanced at him and said, "A-Jue, Qiao Li will also be attending the cruise ship banquet the day after tomorrow. You need to maintain appearances and not offend her."
"Okay. I know what I'm doing in this kind of thing."
The old lady then looked at Feng Jinchen and warned, "You are not allowed to tell anyone in the Luo family about Qiao Li. We are family, we share the same fate, do you understand?"
"Understood." Feng Jinchen stabbed the flesh hard with the knife to suppress the anger in his chest.
The next day, Su Xi opened the door and saw Feng Jue outside.
Su Xi sneered, "Shouldn't you be going to see your wife?"
The man's expression was calm, but upon hearing such sarcastic remarks, there was still a barely perceptible crack in his skin for a moment.
"Didn't you see the scarf? Go back and bandage your head and face. I'll take you to the hospital."
He opened the door and pushed the woman inside, then closed the door immediately. "You'd better hurry, I don't like waiting."
Su Xi opened Weibo and, sure enough, saw that she was trending at number one on Weibo for all the wrong reasons. Not only that, her work and home addresses were also exposed, and many netizens were threatening to throw acid at her.
Looking down through the curtains, I could indeed see many suspicious-looking people.
The old lady really makes it sound so easy, that she'll be fine after a couple of days of scolding? I'm afraid she'll be dead on the very first day.
Su Xi took out sunglasses, a mask, and a baseball cap to cover herself up. The moment she opened the door, she saw Feng Jue leaning lazily against the stairs, his legs long and slender.
Just as she was about to walk over, she heard footsteps.
Su Xi turned her head sharply and her pupils involuntarily contracted.
