Chapter 301 I don't have a penchant for raising other people's children
The groom-shaped pillow with facial features actually looks seven or eight parts like Feng Jue.
Su Xi broke the oppressive atmosphere first, "It's just a coincidence. Let's start over."
Feng Jingnian gently brushed her hand away. "It's alright, I'm not petty. You must be tired today. You shouldn't stay up late while you're pregnant. Get some rest. I'm leaving now."
After Feng Jingnian left, the candlelight flickered in the antique-style red bridal chamber, leaving only Su Xi and "Feng Jue" behind.
"Feng Jue" was still sitting on her lap, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, as light as a swallow. Su Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud, but her smile was somewhat bitter.
After a moment of silence, Su Xi blew out the lamp and went to rest. The human-shaped body pillow was very light and soft, and it was indeed very comfortable to hug while sleeping.
Only the facial features have been removed.
Feng Jue is more terrifying than the faceless groom.
Days passed by, and before they knew it, it was the 80th birthday of the old lady of the Luo family.
The old lady of the Feng family was also invited. The old man was not feeling well and could not attend.
Luo Anya has made up her mind. Today, at her grandmother's birthday banquet, she will get Feng Jue to agree to set a wedding date. She will marry into the family within three months.
The old master and matriarch of the Feng family doted on her immensely; even before her unborn child was born, she received 0.1% of the Feng Group's shares.
If she feels slightly nauseous or vomits at the birthday banquet, and her parents say that it's not good to get engaged or married while heavily pregnant, then the engagement and wedding date will be set in stone.
She is very confident.
Luo Anya wore a beautiful openwork fitted dress with a teardrop-shaped design at the chest, subtly revealing her cleavage and fair skin, exuding both innocence and sexiness.
Her already tall stature, coupled with 10-centimeter high heels, made her stand out among a group of beautiful women, making her hard to miss.
Bai Luwei's eyes instantly welled up with tears when she saw Wu Yaoyao clinging to Feng Jinchen's arm, looking every bit like a couple.
That shameless mistress.
Bai Luwei clenched her fists until they turned white, her nails digging into her flesh, the pain bringing her back to her senses in an instant.
She was lucky to escape Feng Jue's wrath after what happened with Yin Liang last time, so now she needs to know when to quit while she's ahead and play it safe for now, otherwise she won't even know how she died.
Wu Yaoyao was wearing a deep V-neck gold gradient dress today, with a dazzling sapphire on the chest. The entire outfit was quite expensive.
In addition, she is the daughter of the Mo Group in the capital, and many bigwigs in Luo City are eager to flatter her. Feng Jinchen is honored and feels very honored.
Turning around, the two of them came face to face with Bai Luwei, who was all alone.
Bai Luwei wanted to leave, but Wu Yaoyao blocked her way.
"I sensed an ominous aura about this place from afar. Who could it be but Miss Bai? This is a birthday banquet, a joyous occasion. Is it appropriate for you to be here looking like a stray dog?"
"You!" Bai Luwei was filled with resentment, but she could only swallow her anger. She suddenly looked at Feng Jinchen, "Mr. Feng, it seems you haven't told me about the breakup yet."
Feng Jinchen sneered, "Back when Su Xi and I were still married, weren't you also eager to seduce me? What, is being a mistress your exclusive privilege? Should I give you an award?"
Bai Luwei's face stiffened, and Wu Yaoyao couldn't help but cover her mouth and burst out laughing.
Bai Luwei's face instantly turned extremely ugly, and she almost ground her teeth to powder, but she dared not cause any more trouble.
She was already incredibly shameless to even get into the Luo family's birthday banquet today. She should be networking with influential people and doing business, instead of arguing with others and fighting over a scumbag.
Bai Luwei turned and left. She took a glass of red wine from the waiter, swayed a few steps, and then saw a familiar figure.
She pursed her lips and quickly went to greet him, "Rong Zhi, it's been a long time."
She smiled gently, poised and graceful, but Tan Rongzhi glanced at her as if she were a stranger. "Go find someone else. I have no interest in being a simp."
Bai Luwei's eyes flickered, a look of guilt and regret flashing across them. She had previously thought that Tan Rongzhi was just an actor from a well-to-do family, but she had only recently learned that his family was quite wealthy, on par with Feng Jinchen's.
If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have fooled him by treating him as a backup option.
Seeing Tan Rongzhi about to leave, she quickly walked a few steps to meet him, her eyes sincere and her tone earnest.
"Mr. Tan, I apologize for what happened before."
"I was young and naive before. A sincere love was placed in front of me, but I didn't cherish it until I lost it..."
"Stop!" Tan Rongzhi turned to look at her, enunciating each word clearly, "The Empress has even less interest. Go and cause trouble for someone else."
Bai Luwei wanted to chase after them, but she heard a chorus of sneers around her, and they looked at her as if she were a gold digger.
Bai Luwei's cheeks turned completely red, and she could only quickly leave the crowd and hide in a corner.
No one paid any attention to her. It wasn't until halfway through the birthday banquet that an old man in his sixties or seventies came over to talk to her. After a few words, he started touching her inappropriately.
Knowing that the products produced by the Bai family were exactly what the other party needed to purchase in large quantities, she could only endure the disgust and dance with this old man, and also have to put up with his groping hands from time to time.
These are all things to be discussed later.
When Luo Anya and Feng Jue went to offer birthday greetings, there was still at least a two or three people's distance between them.
After delivering her birthday wishes, Old Mrs. Luo glanced at Old Mrs. Feng and said meaningfully, "A-Jue is not young anymore, is he still shy? You two already have children, you should be inseparable, how come... you quarreled?"
"No, Grandma, we're fine, ugh..." Luo Anya suddenly vomited as she spoke.
At this moment, several guests who had just finished celebrating the birthday and hadn't gone far immediately started looking at each other with gossipy eyes.
This is premarital pregnancy.
That's fine. As long as the engagement happens before the pregnancy becomes visible, marriage is also possible. The real problem is that the goddess may be interested, but the king may not be.
Many people began to stop and watch openly.
Grandma Luo frowned. "Grandma Feng, she'll be showing in a month or two. How come you haven't even set a date for your engagement yet?"
"I knocked, and it will be in three days."
"Getting married within three months, though a bit rushed, is better than rumors. Anya's child is from your Feng family. If she's born and people start pointing fingers at her, wouldn't that be a disgrace to your family?"
Grandma Luo's words were rather blunt, which displeased Grandma Feng. But for the sake of her grandson, she still smiled apologetically and said, "Of course, we're looking at auspicious dates."
"The wedding date must be set immediately; it can't be delayed any longer."
"That's natural."
Grandma Luo squinted at Feng Jue, "But your youngest son doesn't seem happy about it. If he was this unhappy when you went to bed with him, how could our Anya have gotten pregnant out of wedlock at such a young age?"
Grandma Feng quickly came over and gave Feng Jue a push, "A-Jue..."
Feng Jue looked around and sneered, "Since you're all so impatient, why don't you just get engaged today?"
Luo Anya was overjoyed.
Grandma Luo, however, sensed something was amiss. "Isn't this a bit rushed?"
"Don't you think getting married is too rushed? Is getting engaged too rushed?"
Grandma Luo choked, her face darkening. Everyone could see that Feng Jue was deliberately giving them a hard time; he was utterly disrespectful.
Pei Yun Shen couldn't help but step forward, "A-Jue, what kind of attitude is this?"
If you don't want to take responsibility, why did you even get involved with Anya in the first place?
He always acts all high and mighty, but he's just a scumbag who controls his own interests.
Anya almost lost her life to save you back then, and you didn't even come to the hospital. Now that someone has died, you don't want to take responsibility. You can't even manage your own private affairs. You are morally corrupt. How can you manage such a large company?
Could the enormous Tianjue Group be all show and no substance, rotten inside?
With each word Pei Yunshen spoke, the atmosphere became more gossipy.
It's human nature to watch a spectacle, and almost all the guests had already gathered around.
Hearing Pei Yun Shen's words, many people began to have doubts. Even a centipede with a hundred legs can linger even after it dies. Pei Yun Shen was Feng Jue's good brother and knew some of the inside story. Tian Jue seemed to be at its zenith; could it have become nothing but an empty shell?
Many people who had begged and pleaded with Tianjue to cooperate with him began to have second thoughts at this point.
Some people started whispering among themselves.
"No matter what, you have to accept the consequences of your own actions. The Luo family is not like any other family; they are not people who can be trifled with."
"I heard he was drunk..."
"So what if you're drunk? If you don't have to take responsibility after getting drunk, wouldn't the whole world be full of abandoned orphans and widows?"
"Alas, Miss Luo's love is too humble. It is true that the easier something is to obtain, the less it is cherished, while those who are favored become fearless."
"Feng Jue is my idol. If I could sleep with him, I'd die happy. What does it matter if I'm pregnant and then abandoned?"
"Someone with your mentality probably doesn't even have the right to get within ten meters of President Feng. Even if you wanted to curry favor with him, you wouldn't find a way."
"you!"
The surrounding noise made Feng Jue frown. "Shut up."
The scene fell completely silent.
"I never expected the Luo family's birthday banquet to be such a mixed bag of people. No wonder they could raise such an outstanding person as Luo Anya."
These words made the atmosphere even more awkward. Everyone looked at each other, each with a lot to say, but unable to chatter freely; they were almost bursting with pent-up emotions.
Luo Anya's face paled, and she bit her lip tightly, almost drawing blood. Anyone who saw her couldn't help but feel pity for her.
Mr. and Mrs. Luo were also very indignant, their faces quite unpleasant. Mrs. Luo tried to speak, but Mr. Luo quickly covered her mouth.
It was Grandma Luo who spoke up. Although she was 80 years old, her voice was full of energy: "Feng Jue, don't take advantage of Anya's affection to trample on her sincerity."
Even if Anya is pregnant with your child, she doesn't need you.
"You, the Feng family, cannot afford to raise your own bloodline, but the Luo family can."
Feng Jue toyed with the glass teacup with his slender fingers. The pure white, translucent cup made his fingers appear even whiter and more like jade.
He spoke casually.
“Of course we can afford to raise the children of our Feng family, but we don’t have the habit of raising other people’s children.”
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.
The meaning of this sentence is clear to those who understand. This melon is so big it's likely to crush all those badgers.
"What...what do you mean by this?" Old Mrs. Luo rolled her eyes in anger, and the maid quickly supported her and pressed her philtrum.
Luo Anya's face turned pale instantly.
