Chapter 234 Ruthless, Dark, and Fast
"President Feng, I've just uncovered some information, but I'm not sure if I should share it."
"explain."
"Gu Chong has been released. He didn't do the arson at all. He confessed to it to protect Su Xi and prevent Wu Kang from harming her again."
After a long pause, Feng Jue finally said, "I understand."
Compared to Gu Chong, he realized even more that he had been too careless and selfish in putting Su Xi in danger.
"Was Gu Chong fired by the Feng family?"
"yes."
"Break him up, and double his salary."
Liu Cheng was shocked. Although Gu Chong was very capable at work, he was still a rival in love. With him right under his nose, seeing him all the time, wouldn't that be uncomfortable?
And isn't he afraid of sparks flying between him and Su Xi? If he's the big boss, he'll definitely be...
Thinking of this, Liu Cheng shuddered and abruptly stopped his thoughts. How could he possibly empathize? That would be overstepping his bounds.
"Yes, Mr. Feng."
"I will draft an offer letter and send it over. You are in charge of this. Success is the only option; failure is not an option. Also, make him agree to one condition: do not tell Su Xi that he got in because of her."
"...Okay, Mr. Feng." Hanging up the phone, Liu Cheng was still a little confused. Gu Chong's reputation was already ruined; if someone offered him a job, especially with double the salary, he'd be overjoyed. What was so difficult about this?
As for the condition that he was asked to agree to, it was relatively easy to handle. What exactly was so difficult about it? President Feng's requirements for his work were getting lower and lower, which was not a good sign.
Just then, my email beeped; the offer letter drafted by the big boss had arrived.
Upon opening it, Liu Cheng's pupils suddenly contracted. It was indeed Boss Feng. Ruthless! Fast! And cunning.
Holding the printed letter of appointment, Liu Cheng belatedly realized that this matter was indeed somewhat difficult to handle.
Feng's President's Office.
Su Xi checked the time; she had been waiting for an hour, and Feng Jinchen still hadn't finished his meeting.
Is he deliberately putting on airs?
Su Xi stood up, and Wang Dong hurried over to refill her tea. "Ms. Su, there's a problem with the proposal. The shareholders are arguing fiercely. Please be patient and wait a little longer; it shouldn't take long."
Su Xi had no choice but to sit down.
Another half hour passed, and Su Xi suddenly stood up. Wang Dong quickly stopped her again, "Ms. Su, please wait patiently a little longer. You can't just barge into the shareholders' meeting, otherwise they will think that President Feng is not strict in managing his subordinates, and I will be fired as well."
Su Xi's face turned cold. "Get out of the way! Don't worry, I won't barge into the meeting room. I'll wait outside until they come out. I need to ask those shareholders what the real reason is. If you dare to lie to me..."
Wang Dong's pupils trembled as he watched Su Xi leave. He quickly took out his phone to call Feng Jinchen, "President Feng, I can't stop her. Miss Su has already gone to the conference room."
Feng Jinchen suddenly sat up.
He was the only one in the huge conference room; the meeting had ended more than half an hour ago. He did this simply to test Su Xi's temperament; if he were exposed, he would have lost more than he gained.
As soon as Su Xi stepped out of the elevator, Feng Jinchen walked over, his secretary carrying a large stack of documents, looking like she had just come from a meeting.
"Xixi, what a coincidence, we really are on the same wavelength."
Su Xi glanced behind the man, said nothing, and let the man pull her back to the elevator.
"Jinchen, can we have the surgery first and then get married? Luochen can't wait, and I won't go back on my word. If you're worried, we can sign an agreement."
The secretary's ears twitched. What did he hear?
As if afraid of being silenced, he pressed the open button the moment the elevator doors closed and hurriedly walked out. "President Feng, I forgot a document in the conference room. I'll go get it."
Only after the elevator doors closed did Feng Jinchen sigh, his handsome face showing hurt. "If we had time to sign the agreement, we could have gotten our marriage certificate. Xixi, why are you so stubborn? In the end, you still don't trust me."
"No." Su Xi didn't believe Feng Jinchen, but she believed Feng Jue. Feng Jue's investigation wouldn't be wrong; Feng Jinchen really could save Luo Chen.
Thinking of this, Su Xi pursed her lips and said calmly, "Alright, let's get married first."
Feng Jinchen's eyes widened in disbelief. He had expected a long struggle and back-and-forth, but the woman had agreed so easily.
It seems he still holds some weight in her heart.
The man excitedly hugged Su Xi, "Don't worry, I'll definitely treat you well this time. Lunch is coming soon, I'll take you back to the villa to eat. Then we'll take our documents to the Civil Affairs Bureau, okay?"
Su Xi thought for a moment, then nodded, "Mm."
The woman's hesitant and tender voice instantly captivated Feng Jinchen, and he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.
Su Xi tilted her head slightly, and the man's lips landed only on her neck.
"If you have nothing else to do, let's go straight to the parking lot."
Seeing the woman's eagerness, Feng Jinchen's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded, "Okay."
The Maybach drove into the villa, where the servants had already set the food on the table.
Su Xi washed her hands and carefully cut the fruit into pieces, placing them in a bright green crystal dish.
When they came out carrying the fruit platter, they didn't see Feng Jinchen, but instead saw Liu Yufeng and her daughter.
"Who do we have here? It's my so-called sister-in-law, all innocent and pure. Didn't she always refuse to come back to the villa? What? She's shamelessly come back now?"
Feng Qinyue stared at the fruit plate in Su Xi's hand, her eyes full of disdain and condescension. "Now you know that the most important thing for a woman is to serve her man well? Too late."
I don't like the fruit platter you cut. Add some Adora and Custard Apple, and I'll enjoy it. Maybe I'll even put in a good word for you with my brother."
Liu Yufeng remained silent, her gaze as sharp as a knife as she looked at Su Xi, as if she wanted to stab her with several bloody holes.
Su Xi smiled and placed the fruit plate on the table. "Excuse me, this is for me and Jin Chen. If you want some, you can ask the maid."
"It's too much trouble to call the maid, so I'll let you cut it."
Su Xi pretended not to hear, picked up a piece of loquat with her fork and put it in her mouth, when suddenly a wave of morning sickness hit her.
Her face flushed instantly.
I quickly ate another piece of durian, and that feeling of nausea subsided.
She rarely eats strongly flavored foods, but unexpectedly, eating them during her pregnancy had a remarkable effect in stimulating her appetite and suppressing nausea.
Feng Qinyue fanned herself with disdain and deliberately mocked, "Su Xi, are you eating your thesis defense? No wonder you've become so sharp-tongued lately, turns out you're just spewing nonsense, hahaha."
Su Xi seemed not to hear, while Feng Qinyue curled her lips smugly. She knew this woman wouldn't dare offend her.
Feng Jinchen took out the documents and saw Liu Yufeng and Feng Qinyue there as well, and couldn't help but frown.
They can't know about the wedding, otherwise it'll just be another round of nagging and trouble.
"Why are you here?"
"Brother, you've come at the right time. What right does Su Xi have to come to my house and freeload? I only asked her to cut a fruit platter for me, and she expects me to eat her thesis. Tell her to get out right now. I don't want to see her again."
Feng Jinchen frowned. "Xixi isn't your maid. Who gave you permission to order her around? Be more polite in the future."
Feng Qinyue stared wide-eyed, lacking confidence. "No, brother, she made your sister take the thesis defense. She's the one who's being uncivilized. Didn't you hear that?"
Feng Jinchen looked at Su Xi.
Su Xi raised her eyes, her voice calm, "Jin Chen, you've come at the right time. You can listen to them; with them here, are you sure we won't repeat the same mistakes?"
He pressed the record button. It was the scene of Feng Qinyue's arrogance earlier.
Hearing her own voice, Feng Qinyue rushed over angrily, "Su Xi, you actually dared to record this? You really have some nerve..."
Feng Qinyue tried to make a move, but Feng Jinchen stepped in to block her. Meeting her brother's cold, ruthless gaze, Feng Qinyue shrank back in fear and reluctantly lowered her hand.
The recording continued, "Su Xi, are you eating your dissertation? No wonder you've been smelling worse lately, turns out you're spewing filth, hahaha..."
A laugh like that of an owl rang out, and Feng Qinyue almost didn't recognize it as her own. Her face flushed bright red instantly.
Feng Jinchen's face was also very unpleasant. He had finally managed to coax the woman into marriage, and this was how they were holding him back.
"Guards, drag Feng Qinyue out. She is not allowed to come to the villa again without my permission."
Feng Qinyue's eyes widened. "Brother, are you crazy? You would treat your sister like this for a woman like this?"
Several servants came over and mustered their courage to step forward.
"Get out of here! How dare you!"
Feng Qinyue bristled. "You lowly dogs! I was just arguing with my brother. What are you doing here? If you dare touch me, you'll lose your arms."
The servants looked troubled.
"Feng Qinyue, it's not too late for you to leave now."
"Why should I leave my own home? If anyone should leave, it should be this swordsman."
Feng Jinchen made a phone call, and in less than a minute, several bodyguards in black rushed over and took Feng Qinyue into custody without saying a word.
The woman was held down by her arms and forced to lower her head like a prisoner. She felt extremely humiliated and cursed angrily.
"Su Xi, you'll die a horrible death. Let me go..."
"Son, let go of your sister! What kind of bewitching potion did Su Xi give you? Su Xi is the one who should get lost."
Liu Yufeng tried to pull her daughter away, but a bodyguard held her back, and she could only watch helplessly as her beloved daughter was forked out.
Feng Qinyue was dragged along and thrown out of the villa, looking extremely disheveled and losing all her composure. Her long hair was a mess, resembling a bird's nest.
The woman's eyes hardened, and she gritted her teeth as she muttered to herself, "Su Xi, from this day forward, I will never forgive you. You just wait!"
Feng Qinyue was so angry that tears streamed down her face. She protested outside the door for a while, but the villa door was like an impenetrable fortress; she couldn't get in, and no one paid her any attention. In the end, she could only slink away in disgrace.
"Son, you can't do this! Quickly bring your sister back. She's your own sister. What is this woman anyway?"
"Mom, if you say another word in defense of Feng Qinyue, I will have to ask you to leave."
Seeing that her son wasn't joking, Liu Yufeng didn't dare continue the topic. Her eyes darted around, and she said earnestly, "News has come from the capital: Mo Yaoyao is indeed the daughter of the Mo family. You have a child after all, so you should win her back. I only recognize Mo Yaoyao as my daughter-in-law."
"Mo Yaoyao is just a mistress. Xixi and I are the original wives."
"So what? That's the Mo family."
Feng Jinchen smiled, "Since you so support the mistress taking your place, why not set an example? I'll call Dad right now and tell him to divorce you, how about that?"
Liu Yufeng choked for a moment, and after a long while, she managed to utter a few words, "How can this be the same? I'm your mother."
"It's the same to me. Please leave. With you here, Xixi probably won't have an appetite."
Liu Yufeng's face suddenly turned extremely ugly. Seeing the row of bodyguards in black, she was really afraid that her son would act rashly and throw her out as well, which would be incredibly embarrassing.
