Chapter 36 Jealousy
Inside the car, seeing the woman sitting there blankly with her seatbelt undone, Feng Jue leaned over, his entire body almost pressed against Su Xi's.
The moment their eyes met, the man's gaze suddenly deepened, and Su Xi's face flushed instantly.
After a one-second pause, Feng Jue looked away, fastened his seatbelt, and quickly pulled away.
As he left, his gaze inadvertently fell on Su Xi's chest, and his pupils involuntarily contracted. He turned around, grabbed a blanket, and stuffed it into Su Xi's arms, saying coldly, "Cover yourself up."
Su Xi then realized that her wet clothes clung to her body and had become transparent, revealing almost everything about her chest.
Knowing that her uncle would think she was indecent if he saw this scene, she bit her lip and quickly covered herself up tightly, leaving only her small head showing.
The man watching all this in the rearview mirror had a smile creep onto his usually serious and cold face.
"Sit still, I'll take you to the hospital." The man's voice was pleasant, clear yet gentle.
"Uncle, you don't actually need to go to the hospital. I'm fine."
“You have to go even if there’s nothing wrong. If you don’t even care about yourself, why would anyone else care about you?” Feng Jue stared directly into Su Xi’s eyes until the woman couldn’t bear the pressure and lowered her gaze before he started the car.
Feng Jue was a very good driver, driving steadily and fast, and Su Xi didn't feel carsick at all.
Seeing a familiar Phantom overtake him and drive away, Feng Jinchen's face turned extremely gloomy.
Bringing his wife along and brazenly overtaking him is blatant provocation; it's simply outrageous.
He slammed his hand on the steering wheel and floored the accelerator.
The car suddenly accelerated, and Wu Yaoyao was caught off guard and hit the back of her head, wincing in pain.
He ran a red light to get to the hospital, but he was still a step too late for Feng Jue. Feng Jinchen watched him holding his wife as if she were his own wife, and his face twisted with rage. He wanted to rush over and confront him.
"Mr. Feng... Mr. Feng, my stomach hurts so much."
Seeing Wu Yaoyao's pained little face in his arms, Feng Jinchen hesitated for a moment, but decided to take her to see a doctor first.
After confirming that Wu Yaoyao's baby was alright, he stormed into Su Xi's hospital room.
Upon seeing Feng Jinchen, Su Xi lowered her eyes, not wanting to look at him. The man's cold and harsh voice still clearly reached her ears, "Still not admitting it? You betrayed me too. So many eyes were watching, you were being held in your uncle's arms, where do you expect me to put my face?"
Clenching her fists, Su Xi felt nothing but despair. This man had prioritized saving his mistress, disregarding his own wife's life. And now he dared to question her with such self-righteousness. She only regretted that she had been blind to have chosen such a man.
"You can say those words again in front of your uncle and your grandparents."
"Are you threatening me? You pushed someone else into the water, and that's how you accidentally slipped in. If someone dies, you'll be locked up. Saving her is saving you."
"Then thank you."
Hearing the woman's nonchalant words, Feng Jinchen's anger intensified, and he asked with a hint of self-mockery, "Is this all the attitude you have?"
"What do you want? You want me to pay for your medical expenses?" Su Xi shrugged and chuckled. "You know her well, why don't you go ask her how much she wants?"
"Say it again." Feng Jinchen reached out and grabbed the woman's wrist.
Su Xi looked up and saw the man's lips were pursed, his brows were furrowed, and his fierce eyes were filled with frustration and anger. A hint of doubt flashed across her eyes.
"Su Xi, do you still have feelings for me? I said those things because I was jealous, but what about you?"
This woman not only didn't question him about why he saved another woman first, but she also pushed him away, which truly enraged and saddened him.
Su Xi suddenly realized, and found it even more ridiculous. She snorted with a mocking laugh, "So, what's your explanation?"
"I've already said it. Saving her is saving you."
"So you trust women outside but not your own wife?" The door opened, and Feng Jue walked in with a sullen face.
Meeting the man's sharp gaze, Feng Jinchen's aura immediately weakened. The moment he released Su Xi, a huge sense of resentment welled up in his heart. His uncle and his wife had an ambiguous relationship, and now he was even turning around and accusing them. This was intolerable.
Feng Jinchen suddenly raised his head, about to speak, when his phone rang.
"This is the surveillance footage; take a look for yourself."
A pool party was taking place at the scene, so all nearby surveillance cameras were turned off. However, distant cameras still captured the image reflected in the car's rearview mirror. Although blurry, it was clearly visible to anyone who happened to be passing by.
It turned out that Wu Yaoyao deliberately fell into the water, intending to pull Su Xi down with her.
Feng Jinchen's face was dark, his long, slender fingers gripping the phone were white, and he almost dared not look Su Xi in the eye.
After a moment, she explained somewhat hesitantly, "Xixi, I know you can swim."
He couldn't continue talking later on. The moment he carried Wu Yaoyao ashore, he saw out of the corner of his eye that Su Xi was already submerged. If his uncle hadn't arrived in time, she would have swallowed a lot of water.
"I will give you a satisfactory explanation." Feng Jinchen turned and left.
In the ward, Wu Yaoyao's face was still a little pale, but she endured her weakness and got out of bed, smiling as she approached, "Mr. Feng, Miss Su didn't know I was pregnant, and she herself fell into the water. I don't want to pursue the matter of her pushing me into the water. How is she now? Can I go see her?"
Before seeing the video, Feng Jinchen might have been deceived by this woman. But now, looking at her gentle, kind, and generous face, he felt nothing but anger and disgust. He slapped her so hard that she collapsed onto the bed.
Wu Yaoyao covered her face, looked up in disbelief, and a phone smashed into her face. Looking at the video surveillance on the phone, her pupils shrank dramatically to pinpoints.
“From today onwards, you are not allowed to leave the villa. Get out of here immediately after giving birth to the child.”
"No, Mr. Feng, please, I will never dare to do it again."
Feng Jinchen turned and left. Wu Yaoyao tried to chase after him, but was grabbed by several bodyguards and forked out of the hospital.
On the bus, Wu Yaoyao pretended to need to use the restroom and slipped 1,000 yuan to a stranger, asking him to send a message to Su Xi.
A cold glint flashed in the woman's eyes; if she couldn't have it easy, neither could she.
Back in the ward, Feng Jinchen sat by the bed, took Su Xi's hand, and softly promised, "Don't worry, I've cut all ties with that woman."
Su Xi coldly withdrew her hand.
Feng Jinchen wasn't angry. He opened the food box his assistant had brought, revealing a variety of exquisite dishes that looked and smelled delicious. He handed over chopsticks with both hands, saying, "Xixi, these are all your favorites. Have some. Even if you're angry, you shouldn't take it out on your health. How about I fast for three days to help you calm down?"
Su Xi glanced at him, moved her lips, and finally asked softly, "Is she pregnant?"
Otherwise, how could a mistress with no background dare to act so arrogantly in front of her? She must have something to rely on.
The man's face stiffened for a moment, then quickly turned into one of helplessness and grievance. "How could that be? I only allow one woman to have my child."
Seeing the man's confident declaration, Su Xi was about to take the chopsticks when her phone rang.
With just one glance down, Su Xi's face turned ashen, the light in her eyes shattered beyond repair.
