Chapter 408 Su Xi actually took on that kind of side job
To serve water to Wu Yaoyao to wash her feet in front of Feng Jue was an absolute humiliation.
But the moment her gaze fell on her sleeping daughter's face, Su Xi felt a surge of warmth in her heart, filled with the motivation to face anything.
She went straight to fetch a basin of water for washing her feet and carried it steadily to the living room.
He glanced around the living room and confirmed Wu Yaoyao's location.
Feng Jue looked over indifferently.
Although his eyes were cold and icy, Su Xi still noticed a hint of something complicated in them the moment their eyes met.
But that has nothing to do with her.
Su Xi directly avoided Kai Fengjue's gaze.
As for Feng Jinchen's gaze, she completely ignored it.
She walked straight to Wu Yaoyao's side and squatted down.
Wu Yaoyao put her feet into the foot basin, deliberately splashing water all over Su Xi's face.
Su Xi wasn't annoyed. She reached into the basin and massaged Wu Yaoyao's feet. With each massage, she thought of her daughter, and then she didn't feel anything was wrong.
Wu Yaoyao's smile is harder to suppress than an AK.
In front of everyone, Su Xi acted as his maid and foot-washing servant, and the two men, one silent and the other tacitly acquiescing,...
The two men who once loved her to death, are they now just standing by and doing nothing?
It's true what they say: you only see the new faces laughing, but never the old ones crying.
Su Xi has already been bored with by them.
"Ouch, that hurts! Su Xi, did you do this on purpose?" Wu Yaoyao deliberately picked a fight, stirring the water in the basin with her feet, splashing dirty water all over Su Xi's body and face.
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became quiet.
The servants wanted to laugh, but they were all shrewd enough to sense something was off, so they could only keep their mouths shut and suppress their laughter. It was quite a struggle for them.
Feng Jinchen's lips twitched repeatedly; he wanted to speak up for Su Xi, but couldn't find an excuse.
After all, washing feet, though it may sound unpleasant, is a very, very simple job. Moreover, no job is inherently superior or inferior.
Su Xi can't even do this right, no wonder Yao Yao is angry.
He wanted to speak up for Su Xi, but he didn't know where to begin.
Feng Jue, however, spoke in a cold voice.
"You can't even handle this small thing? Get out!"
The sternness of the voice made many of the servants stiffen involuntarily. Su Xi was also startled.
After realizing that Feng Jue was scolding her, Su Xi's face paled for a moment. What difference was there between this and telling her to get out?
After confirming that Feng Jue was standing up for her, Wu Yaoyao's smile became even harder to suppress. She frowned and said, "Aren't you leaving?"
This bitch is deliberately trying to distract Feng Jue by standing here.
Without saying a word, Su Xi lowered her eyes and left.
Wu Yaoyao curled her lips, thinking that she was smart enough to know her place.
Feng Jue didn't even glance at Su Xi's departing figure, but only said to Feng Jinchen, "This is a medicine packet, it's best for postpartum women to soak their feet."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yaoyao was overjoyed and said repeatedly, "Thank you so much, Uncle. You're so kind."
Feng Jinchen quickly took the medicine packet.
Looking at the medicine packet in his hand, he felt that something was unusual, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
The only option was to hand the medicine packet to the maid.
The maid brought out the medicine packet, and Wu Yaoyao reached out to take it from afar. After taking the medicine packet, she put it into the basin without saying a word.
Gazing at the medicine packet in the water, Wu Yaoyao's face was full of sweet smiles.
But as I looked at it...
Something's not right.
The medicine packet first emitted white smoke, which then increased. Just as Wu Yaoyao was wondering if the smoke was getting too thick, she heard a sizzling sound, and the water in the basin became increasingly hot.
As the sound grew louder and the water neared boiling point, even a fool would know there was danger. Wu Yaoyao's eyes were filled with terror.
Before I could run away, I heard a "bang" and the basin exploded.
Hot water splashed all over Wu Yaoyao's body, face, legs, and head.
Especially his feet, which instantly looked like boiled pig's trotters. A ring of blisters appeared a moment later.
My hands and face were also very painful, and blisters quickly appeared around them.
Wu Yaoyao was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face; her eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness.
She thought Feng Jue was concerned about her, but this was clearly revenge.
Why?
Wu Yaoyao was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. She just looked at Feng Jue with tears in her eyes and a look of utter grievance.
Feng Jue simply said, "I might have taken the wrong medicine. I'm sorry."
These words were still directed at Feng Jinchen; as for the biggest victim, Wu Yaoyao, he didn't even glance at her.
Moreover, his tone of voice lacked any sincerity.
Feng Jinchen's lips twitched rhythmically, but he couldn't utter a single word no matter how hard he tried.
He genuinely didn't know what to say.
Everything happened so fast that he didn't even know why it was like this, so he had no idea how to try to reconcile them. Besides, he didn't have the nerve to advise Feng Jue.
Feng Jue said coldly, "Come with me."
Without a second thought, Feng Jinchen followed and left, completely ignoring the injured person.
Wu Yaoyao was in excruciating pain, and as the blisters on her body grew larger and larger, her eyes were filled with fear.
But the moment she looked up for help, she saw the two men leave one after the other, their backs so ruthless and resolute.
Wu Yaoyao was so angry she almost spat out blood.
Feng Jinchen followed Feng Jue forward, walking and walking, seemingly without any intention of stopping. He dared not stop, nor did he dare to ask any questions.
Finally, Feng Jue stopped in his tracks.
His handsome face was slightly flushed with anger, probably from walking quickly, but Feng Jinchen didn't think much of it.
“Feng Jinchen, if you were a man, you wouldn’t have made your wife take care of your mistress during her postpartum period.”
“…Huh?” Feng Jinchen was taken aback, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes, but he still explained, “Yaoyao doesn’t have breast milk, and besides, Su Xi…”
"Enough," Feng Jue said coldly to Feng Jinchen. "I don't care how you two treat Su Xi, but Su Xi is also an employee of Zhulu, responsible for core technologies. After her maternity leave, she must go back to work. Or are you trying to steal her talent from me and oppose me?"
Feng Jinchen was stunned for a moment. Su Xi, a talent? Is something wrong?
Her limited knowledge might fool ordinary people, but could Feng Jue also be deceived by her?
Don't think he doesn't know that the priceless patent Su Xi gave him back then wasn't her work at all; she probably swindled it from somewhere.
However, judging from Feng Jue's tone, he was relieved that he wasn't protecting Su Xi because he still had feelings for her.
After thinking for a moment, he quickly said, "Uncle, this isn't something I can decide; it's Su Xi's own choice. Her goal is Sisi, so we can't expect her to bring Sisi to work, can we?"
Feng Jue sneered, "I will naturally talk to her about this. Just don't cause any trouble with Wu Yaoyao."
Feng Jinchen waved his hands repeatedly, "How could I dare? I'm more than happy that my uncle persuaded her to leave. Otherwise, she'll be watching Sisi like a hawk every day, and it's possible that she might steal Sisi away and make her her own one day."
Feng Jue didn't take the bait, and then said in a commanding tone, "Forget about the wet nurse, and there's no need for a postpartum nanny. There are plenty of people who can do it better than her."
Aside from being a wet nurse, I have other uses for her, so I let her come to me.
Feng Jinchen looked shocked. "...Huh?"
What is it used for? How is it used?
However, judging from Feng Jue's aloof and cold face, it shouldn't be the kind of "use" he was thinking of.
Feng Jinchen could only nod in agreement.
After returning home, Feng Jinchen recounted Feng Jue's words to Wu Yaoyao in a forceful and exaggerated manner.
Actually, he had long suspected that this matter was not simple. Regardless of the reason, it was simply absurd for Su Xi to come to him and serve as a servant to Wu Yaoyao.
If word gets out, won't people gossip about him and say he favors his concubine over his wife?
Wu Yaoyao listened but did not stop them. After all, Su Xi was a core employee of Zhu Lu, and she couldn't possibly compete with Feng Jue for her.
However, as long as that foolish old man Su Xi is convinced that Sisi is her daughter, he will squeeze every spare moment to come to her, vying to be her servant.
When Su Xi comes to her place even outside of work hours, others will have no reason to stand on the moral high ground and criticize her; instead, they will all praise Su Xi for being shameless.
Seeing that Wu Yaoyao had no intention of stopping him and even readily agreed, Feng Jinchen belatedly realized that he had misunderstood Wu Yaoyao.
Yao Yao was wronged.
As for what wicked scheme Su Xi was plotting, he would have to keep a close eye on it.
After Su Xi finished feeding Si Si, before she could even hold her, a maid picked her up and coldly told her to go to Zhu Lu to find Feng Jue.
Su Xi frowned. She had already explained everything about work to Manager Wang, so why was Feng Jue looking for her again?
However, he is a big boss, and he must have his reasons for hiring a lowly employee like her. She had no reason to refuse.
Su Xi nodded, changed into a more formal outfit, and took a taxi to Zhulu. She went straight to the top floor.
Upon arriving at the CEO's office, the scenes of sitting on her lap and kissing her from a few days ago resurfaced in her mind. Su Xi took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
Before she could even knock twice, a woman who looked like a manager walked over with a frown, her eyes full of disdain, looking down at Su Xi with an interrogative tone.
"Who are you? Which department are you from? Do you think you can just knock on President Feng's door whenever you want?"
They treated Su Xi like a woman offering herself up for sexual favors, hoping to take a shortcut to advancement.
Su Xi said calmly, "President Feng sent me here."
As soon as she finished speaking, the female manager raised her voice even higher, and her gaze towards Su Xi became even more disdainful.
"Nonsense! You lie without even thinking! Are you desperate to become a gold digger? President Feng isn't even in the company today. Why would he let you in? Which department are you from? Did you sneak in? Security! Security!"
Several security guards rushed over upon hearing the news, carrying weapons to subdue the thugs.
"Arrest this woman of unknown origin."
Before the words had even finished, the security guards pounced on them like wolves.
The speed was so fast that Su Xi had no chance of escaping.
In the blink of an eye, a dark shadow flashed before my eyes.
With a series of loud thuds, the security guards collapsed to the ground, sprawling on their backs. The female manager was so shocked that her mouth dropped open.
Looking at the man protecting Su Xi, her face showed shock, but even more so, respect.
Su Xi looked at Li Che, who was protecting her, and her eyes flickered slightly.
She knew Li Che's identity was not simple and that he couldn't just be a small assistant by her side, and now she saw that it was indeed the case.
Li Che said coldly to the female manager, "Apologize to Miss Su."
Without saying a word, the female manager bowed deeply, bending at a 90-degree angle, and said sincerely, "Ms. Su, I'm sorry, I was blind to your true nature."
Su Xi didn't respond, but looked at Li Che and asked, "Where's President Feng?"
"President Feng has something to attend to. Please go to Manager Wang. Manager Wang will relay the details."
Upon hearing this, Su Xi didn't say anything and walked straight towards Manager Wang's office.
Before they even arrived, Manager Wang came up to them with great trepidation and immediately apologized, "Manager Su, I'm so sorry, I really am sorry. I didn't expect you to come so early and I didn't inform you in time that General Manager Feng wasn't here, which made you feel wronged."
"I've already fired that female manager, Lü Xian. Please don't take it to heart; it's not worth ruining your health."
Su Xi was surprised that the female manager would be fired so directly.
However, she wasn't a saint, so she didn't plead for leniency. Instead, she said, "Let's go back to the office and talk business."
Upon arriving at the office, Manager Wang briefly discussed the project's plans and blueprints, along with some changes. After finishing the business, he seemed hesitant to speak further.
Su Xi smiled and said, "Manager Wang, please feel free to speak your mind."
Manager Wang hesitated for a moment, then stammered, as if the words were a bit difficult to pronounce.
"Li Tong from the marketing department is my cousin. She just gave birth, and for various reasons, she couldn't... Her baby girl is allergic to various formulas, so could you please..."
The implication was clear, leaving Su Xi feeling somewhat awkward and embarrassed.
She really wanted to help, but she was too weak to travel back and forth.
As if seeing through Su Xi's thoughts, Manager Wang continued,
"Don't worry, her home is near Feng Jinchen's. The road is a cobblestone path with beautiful scenery. It's only a 10-minute walk."
Of course, a maid will pick you up and drop you off. But I think, given Miss Su's personality, she'd probably prefer walking rather than taking a car.
Upon hearing this, Su Xi had no reason to refuse and readily accepted.
She smiled, pursing her lips, "Manager Wang understands me best."
She had noticed the Yangdi path outside Feng Jinchen's villa long ago and really wanted to take a walk there, but she hadn't had the time.
After returning home, Su Xi fed Sisi and then, through much coaxing and pleading, the maid finally agreed to let her hold her for a short while.
After holding the child for less than three minutes, the maid coldly snatched the child back, taunting, "I heard you've taken on another side job? Tsk tsk, you really are a vixen, taking on any job without a care in the world."
After saying that, he rolled his eyes and left.
Not long after, a maid from Li Tong's family came to pick them up. She was a kind-looking older sister who spoke gently and respectfully, a stark contrast to the attitude here.
Su Xi was naturally in a good mood and followed Sister Ma outside. The willow-lined embankment outside shimmered in the sunlight, the willows swayed gently, and a cool breeze was blowing, which made Su Xi feel even better.
However, upon arriving at Li Tong's house, it was discovered that the male head of the household was surnamed Feng.
The baby girl's name is Feng Nianxi.
When Sister Ma brought the baby girl over, Su Xi was instantly stunned the moment her gaze fell on the baby's face.
It's chubby and fair-skinned, with pink and tender skin, and its jet-black eyes are like black grapes, making it look just like a New Year's picture doll.
As if by telepathy, she always felt that this was her daughter.
