Chapter 165 Holding another woman
Upon receiving Luo Anya's call, Su Xi felt a little guilty, but she didn't refuse, saying, "Okay."
I had just gotten into the car when the old lady called.
Su Xi felt guilty again, but she answered the call with a forced smile.
"Xiaoxi, I'm sorry about what happened today. Grandma apologizes. Ajue has already told me that he was the one pursuing you relentlessly, it was all one-sided on his part, it wasn't you who seduced him. So... so what do you think of him?"
Su Xi pursed her lips. "Grandma, I said I would break off all ties with him, and I won't go back on my word."
The old lady, being shrewd and experienced, naturally sensed that the woman was being somewhat insincere. However, after learning from the old man that Su Xi's mother's car accident was actually related to Feng Jue, she realized that the two of them could never be together.
“Okay, Grandma supports you. I will make him stop bothering you.”
After hanging up the phone, Su Xi felt empty inside.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Luo Anya stood up to greet her. After they sat down together, a hint of apology flashed in the woman's eyes. "Xixi, it's all because of drinking. Two drunkards passed out together, please don't take it to heart."
I only see A-Jue as my brother, there's really nothing wrong with that. You must stay with A-Jue and be good to each other. I, Luo Anya, only acknowledge you as my sister-in-law, I don't acknowledge anyone else.
A look of surprise flashed in Su Xi's eyes, and she sighed, "Did Feng Jue force you to say that?"
A flicker of something flashed in the woman's eyes, but she shook her head vehemently and waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no. I'm just stating the facts."
Suddenly, she leaned closer and whispered, a hint of gossip in her voice, "I heard a little wildcat bit Brother Ajue's lip until it bled, it must have been you, right?"
Su Xi's eyes flickered, but she still shook her head. "No, how could that be?"
Luo Anya sniffed unhappily and pouted her cherry-red lips. "You're not allowed to deny it. Are you going to keep it from me too? I'm very tight-lipped. This matter will definitely remain a secret."
The woman made a joking, innocent face, but in her heart she hated Su Xi to the core. Never before had she been more certain that Su Xi was the little wildcat. How dare she?
She hooked her arm around Ah Jue and kissed him, then played hard to get, leaving a bite mark on his lips. What man could resist that? She went to such lengths, it was utterly despicable.
Meeting the woman's bright, piercing eyes, Su Xi still shook her head, "It really wasn't me."
What a clever scheme! If they made it public, Ah Jue would only be disgusted. But by denying it outright and refusing to give him any recognition, they'll only fuel his desire to conquer.
You really underestimated her.
"Really not you? Now the title of 'little wildcat' is on my head, so you're not allowed to be jealous."
"It must be you. Maybe you forgot after drinking." Su Xi said nonchalantly.
A dark glint appeared in Luo Anya's eyes as she smiled and picked up the menu. "Let's order. By the way, this restaurant is famous for its wine; would you like to order their signature wine?"
"No need, I get drunk easily and can't drink alcohol."
"Really? What a coincidence, I'm allergic to alcohol..." The woman's words trailed off.
The woman looked like she'd let something slip, but she tried to cover it up: "I had an allergic reaction to the alcohol, but I was fine after drinking it. Nothing happened at all. That day, haha, I really did drink too much with friends."
Su Xi's grip on the water glass tightened suddenly, and her heart skipped a beat.
She wasn't stupid. Since Luo Anya was allergic to alcohol, she wouldn't drink, much less get drunk.
There's something fishy about the photos of those two people drunk and embracing.
So Feng Jue conspired with Luo Anya to deceive her?
Su Xi couldn't believe it was true; there must be some misunderstanding.
But her heart was in turmoil, unable to calm down, her mind was in turmoil, and her face was somewhat stiff.
Seeing that Su Xi's expression was not good, Luo Anya looked like she had made a mistake, her eyes full of worry and self-blame as she looked at her.
She grasped Su Xi's hands tightly. "Sister Su, please don't misunderstand. Please don't quarrel with Brother Ajue. It's all my fault. I can really drink, I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. I'll show you if you don't believe me."
He then ordered a bottle of their signature Lafite.
"I really didn't lie to you, look if you don't believe me." Luo Anya forced herself to endure the spiciness, took a sip of strong liquor with a pained expression, and then another sip.
Su Xi tried to stop her, but she dodged away repeatedly and quickly finished the entire glass of wine.
"Anya, what are you doing? I believe you, I believe you." Su Xi's eyes were full of self-reproach and regret as she desperately stopped Luo Anya from drinking any more.
"Just trust me. You and Brother Ajue must stay together and not let me cause any rift between you. Well, I have to go now, I have to go home."
Luo Anya was in a hurry to leave, but Su Xi saw the woman's face visibly turn as red as a shrimp, eventually turning an unnatural bluish-purple, and the woman's figure was swaying precariously.
Su Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly took out her phone.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to call the emergency number first or ask Feng Jue first. Perhaps Luo Anya's face was just flushed from drinking, and it was just a more serious case?
Just as she hesitated, a tall, aloof figure walked in through the door.
The moment Luo Anya recognized Feng Jue, she swayed and fell straight to the ground.
Su Xi was startled and tried to rush over, but it was too late.
Feng Jue quickly took a few steps to catch Luo Anya. When he saw the woman's face covered in unnatural bruises and smelled the alcohol on her, his pupils suddenly contracted.
After giving Su Xi a complicated look, Feng Jue picked her up and rushed out of the restaurant without saying a word.
Su Xi stood there, stunned, the hair on her hands turning white.
The way the man looked at her sent chills down her spine. Such a terrifying, indifferent gaze had only ever appeared on Feng Jinchen before; she had never imagined it...
Suppressing her bitterness, Su Xi quickly followed him out and saw the man carefully put Luo Anya into the car, then walk around to the driver's seat.
Su Xi quickened her pace to catch up, but only saw the man start the car and drive away. The roar of the car made her eardrums go deaf for a moment.
Her heart sank to the bottom, and it took her a long time to regain her composure.
She took a taxi straight to the hospital.
They got through to Feng Jue on the phone and made their way to the emergency room.
Seeing Luo Anya enter the emergency room, Su Xi was utterly incredulous. Her lips moved, but she couldn't utter a single word.
Feng Jue gave her a cold, harsh look. "She's allergic to alcohol; drinking will kill her. Did you force her to drink?"
Hearing these words, especially the last question, Su Xi felt as if a gaping hole had been torn open in her heart, causing her unbearable pain.
Her idealized view of men instantly cracked, and could never be pieced back together.
Seeing Feng Jue being affectionate towards other women and embracing them, she felt disappointed and heartbroken, but she never expected the man to doubt her like this.
So, in his heart, she was also the kind of scheming and manipulative woman!
Seeing that the woman remained silent, Feng Jue frowned. Luo Anya texted him saying she needed to explain things to Su Xi to avoid affecting their relationship.
He was afraid that Luo Anya would say something bad, and he was also afraid that Su Xi would be made difficult, so he rushed over, only to find that it was Luo Anya who was being made difficult.
With Luo Anya on the brink of life and death, he couldn't bring himself to speak calmly to a woman.
