Chapter 129 I Just Want to Sleep
"What's the matter that you're in such a panic?" Feng Jinchen asked irritably.
"Qiao... Qiao Li came uninvited, with a group of bodyguards. I'm afraid she has ill intentions."
Feng Jinchen's hand trembled, and the cotton swab fell to the ground. Suddenly realizing that Qiao Li's target wasn't him, but Feng Jue, a smile crept onto his lips as he looked at Feng Jue with a playful glint in his eyes.
"Uncle, congratulations! I've heard of women being forcibly taken from people, but today it seems you're going to be the one being forcibly taken from people, hahaha."
Luo Anya was completely stunned, overwhelmed by the amount of information. Her cherry-red lips opened and closed repeatedly, unsure of where to begin.
Liu Yufeng and Feng Qinyue escorted Wu Yaoyao in, greeted Luo Anya, and when they saw Su Xi, their eyes showed the same disdain.
"Jinchen, I heard Qiao Li is here? Is she..." Liu Yufeng snatched the cotton swabs and iodine from Feng Jinchen's hand. "Why do you care about this jinx? She's not without hands."
"Mom, don't worry, this time it's not aimed at me. It's aimed at him."
Feng Jinchen glanced at Feng Jue, only concerned with watching the man's humiliation, and didn't notice that Su Xi was being maliciously targeted.
Luo Anya's eyes flickered. Before, it was just speculation, but now she was finally certain that the couple's relationship wasn't good. Especially Feng Jinchen, who wasn't as doting on his wife as the rumors in the industry suggested.
Feng Jinchen just told her to keep a close eye on her man and not let him seduce other men's wives. Could it be...?
Luo Anya looked at Su Xi, who was as calm and composed as a chrysanthemum, and didn't seem like the type.
And who is Qiao Li?
Liu Yufeng found everything about Su Xi displeasing and felt an urge to slap her. Even her son wasn't this kind of person to her; who did Su Xi think she was? Catching a glimpse of Feng Jue's cold gaze out of the corner of her eye, she swallowed the words that were about to come out.
The sound of a cane tapping the ground came from the house as the old man and woman were helped downstairs by their servant.
Upon seeing Luo Anya, the old lady regretted calling her over. If that disrespectful old woman Qiao Li were to do something, Anya would likely fall out with Feng Juesheng.
"Auntie." Luo Anya went to greet her, and the old lady quickly took her hand, her eyes flashing. "Good child, things are a bit busy and chaotic at home today. Why don't you go back first?"
Luo Anya bit her lip.
Feng Jinchen laughed, "Grandma, Anya isn't stupid. Isn't this just like trying to hide something obvious?"
He glanced smugly at Su Xi, determined to make Feng Jue, this coveted prize, lose face in front of the two women.
"You brat, what's wrong with you today?"
Meeting the old man's hawk-like gaze, Feng Jinchen pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.
"Auntie, Uncle, I don't want to go back either. Who is... Qiao Li?"
The elderly couple were both taken aback, and an awkward look flashed across their eyes.
After a few seconds of silence, the old man spoke, "Merck's widow."
"What? How did she get here?"
"She'll be here soon, so I'll get straight to the point. Qiao Li is not someone we can afford to mess with, so everyone be careful. Feng Jue, you're a man. With so many people around, she won't do anything to you, at most she'll try to take advantage of you, but you're not allowed to embarrass her."
The old lady took Luo Anya's hand. "Anya, I don't know how to say this, just think of it as a man playing along. If you can't accept it..."
"I accept it. There are always people more capable than you, and the bigger picture is at stake. Qiao Li is someone that even the tycoons in the capital wouldn't dare to provoke directly, let alone those in Los Angeles."
Besides, foreigners are generally quite warm and outgoing; cheek kisses and hugs are just normal greetings. I know what's appropriate. We'll all work together to help Ah Jue handle things.”
"Good child." The old lady was more and more satisfied with Luo Anya, and reached out to touch her long hair.
"Grandma, you probably don't understand the situation. That Qiao Li just wants to sleep with Uncle, and you can accept that?"
As Feng Jinchen spoke, he glanced at Luo Anya, whose face paled.
"Feng Jinchen, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute. If you say another word, get out." The old man's eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to poke a few holes in his grandson.
Liu Yufeng also tugged at Feng Jinchen, signaling him with her eyes not to say anything more.
Feng Jinchen stopped talking, raised an eyebrow and looked at Su Xi. Su Xi's expression was indifferent, showing no sign of anything unusual.
Wu Yaoyao sat down next to Feng Jinchen, looking extremely happy.
The old lady's gaze swept over, and Feng Jinchen gave Wu Yaoyao a warning look with a stern face before getting up and sitting on the other side of Su Xi.
The old lady narrowed her eyes, feeling that the atmosphere between Wu Yaoyao and Feng Jinchen was subtle. Could it be that everyone had conspired to deceive her before?
Just as she was about to think about it, the door opened wide, and Jiao Ruoyi walked in, her red dress swaying, followed by several muscular young bodyguards.
Her beautiful brown eyes swept across everyone's faces, finally settling on Feng Jue.
He scrutinized her from head to toe, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate her clothes.
The woman's lips curved into a smile unconsciously, her eyes reflecting a clear, bright sky, as if petals were falling.
Luo Anya subtly shifted her position, blocking the woman's view.
Jiao Ruoyi smiled slightly, her gaze lingering on Luo Anya's face for a moment before turning to the old lady. "Grandma, I heard you were sick and hospitalized, so I came to see you."
The old lady's lips twitched slightly. She wasn't much older than this woman, yet she had the nerve to do that.
However, she still had to maintain appearances, so she smiled and said, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Miss Qiao."
Jiao Ruoyi closed her eyes, took a breath, raised her eyebrows, and smiled, "Are you guys about to eat? You don't mind joining us, do you?"
What could the old lady say? She could only laugh and say, "What are you saying? I just don't know if Chinese food suits your taste."
Jiao Ruoyi smiled, glanced at Feng Jue with her phoenix eyes, and said with a double meaning, "It suits my taste perfectly."
The servants set the food on the table, and everyone took their seats.
Feng Jinchen and Su Xi sat together. Wu Yaoyao wanted to go over, but was glared at by the man and could only turn around and sit with Feng Qinyue.
With Qiao Li leading the way, she's not in a hurry to cause trouble. In short, tonight she's determined to make sure her unborn child is accepted by everyone openly and honestly.
As soon as Wu Yaoyao left, Feng Jue walked over and sat down next to Su Xi.
Su Xi's hand holding the knife and fork suddenly tightened, and Feng Jinchen on the other side also looked grim.
Jiao Ruoyi suddenly stood up from her seat and walked straight to Su Xi's side. "Miss Su, may I switch seats with you?"
“Okay.” Su Xi stood up almost without thinking and left.
Feng Juejun's face instantly turned cold, and Feng Jinchen also felt somewhat uneasy.
She swayed her hips as she sat down between the two men, her smile barely concealed, clearly in an extremely good mood.
The man exuded a dangerous aura that kept everyone at arm's length, which only fueled the woman's interest.
Su Xi had barely sat down when she met Feng Jue's icy gaze. Her eyes flickered, and she quickly lowered her head.
Realizing that Qiao Li was completely focused on Feng Jue and treating him like he was invisible, Feng Jinchen was no longer embarrassed; instead, he felt resentful and unwilling to accept it.
In a moment of impulse, he picked up a dish and put it in Qiao Li's bowl.
In Jiao Ruoyi's eyes, this was tantamount to offering herself as a bedmate.
Instantly everyone looked over.
Su Xi remained unmoved, but Wu Yaoyao ground her back teeth. The others all gave each other strange looks.
Feng Jinchen was in a difficult situation.
