Chapter 229 That woman is you
Huang Sifeng showed no sign of guilt; instead, she grabbed Su Xi's wrist with the strength of an iron clamp.
"You've come at the right time, return the money."
You promised to put that 30 billion in your uncle's account for us to manage. Now it's gone. Doesn't that mean you owe us money?
Su Xi shook off her hand and picked up the apple peeler from the side.
"Marriage is a major life event, arranged by parents and matchmakers. You painstakingly selected a scoundrel for me, and now you're blaming me?"
Huang Sifeng wanted to grab Su Xi again, but when she saw the gleaming knife, she pursed her lips and didn't go forward.
"Su Xi, don't change the subject. You're just a good-for-nothing coward, and you won't admit it? Even if you were a blockhead, you wouldn't have lost this money. Who else is to blame but you? Who else should we ask for it back?"
“Since Auntie says so, let’s settle things one by one. First, you have to return the company my parents left behind.”
"And our villa, you've lived there for free for over a decade without paying a single penny of rent. We can't just let you occupy our house for over ten years and expect it to become yours!"
As for that 30 billion,” Su Xi burst out laughing, “Auntie, you should probably read more books. If you don’t mind the embarrassment, you can just loudly proclaim that I owe you 30 billion, and how I owed it. See if everyone looks at you like you’re an idiot.”
"You, you are utterly disrespectful! Your parents are gone, but we are your parents. Your attitude will be punished by heaven."
The two argued back and forth, one calm and collected, the other furious and exasperated.
Grandma Su seemed to be lost in thought.
The birthmark on Su Xi's shoulder is gone. It was quite large and in a conspicuous place, so it was probably removed for aesthetic reasons.
However, the small birthmark on her chest probably won't disappear.
She couldn't feel at ease without confirming, so she raised her voice and said, "Alright, alright, we're all family, let's not argue."
Si Feng, Su Xi barely survived that ordeal, she really needs to take good care of herself. There's a nice sauna nearby called H's, their massage and back massage techniques are excellent, and their breast care is top-notch. Take her there for a good massage and let her relax."
Su Xi blinked, the change of topic was slightly abrupt.
Huang Sifeng and the old lady exchanged a glance, instantly understanding. "Alright. Su Xi, that massage parlor isn't cheap, you're treating."
Su Xi is pregnant and cannot go to the sauna, but she always feels that there is something fishy about the two of them.
Breast...breast care? A thought flashed through Su Xi's mind, and she immediately understood. The old lady probably wanted to check if she had a birthmark on her chest.
Feng Jinchen said she had it, and the old lady also thought she did, but she didn't.
"Grandma, the doctor said my body isn't suitable for sauna right now. I came today to tell you that I'm being transferred to the capital for work. Grandma, would you like to come with me? The medical conditions there should be better than in Los Angeles."
Grandma Su shook her head impatiently, "I'm not going anywhere. I'd rather die in Luocheng."
"Su Xi, you have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise. You just want to shirk your responsibilities and relax? That's unfilial."
"Don't worry, Auntie, I have shares in Color Technology. I will send money over every month."
"What kind of attitude is this? You think you're so great just because you have money? You're treating us like beggars. Do you think we need your paltry sum? Mom, I think Su Xi looks like her dead mother, a vixen, and her deadbeat father, a good-for-nothing. She's hopeless!"
The moment the words left his mouth, a blur flashed before his eyes. Then two more appeared.
Snap!
Slap! Slap!
Su Xi slapped him three times in a row, her arm throbbing with pain from the impact.
"Su Xi, how dare you hit me? I'm your aunt!" Huang Sifeng's voice was shrill, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
"I'm not hitting you, I'm hitting you on behalf of my parents. You eat their food, live in their house, and use their things, so please watch your mouth. Or you'll suffer a terrible death."
"How dare you curse me!" Huang Sifeng lunged forward with a ferocious expression.
Su Xi picked up the fruit knife directly, her eyes icy cold.
The woman's eyes narrowed, and she swallowed hard. "Su Xi, are you crazy?"
"Yes, I have indeed gone mad. I have died once, so I can tell right from wrong. If you still think of me as an easy target, you're mistaken."
"If you want me to suffer, none of you will have a good time. If you want me to die, I'll drag you all down to hell with me."
After saying that, Su Xi slammed the fruit knife on the table and turned to leave.
"Mom, she's completely hopeless..."
Grandma Su nodded in satisfaction. "That's the same temper she used to have. Don't provoke her in the future. Only when she's doing well can we all benefit. Don't be foolish."
Huang Sifeng curled her lip, "Drinking soup and eating meat, her? If she really becomes successful, I'd be willing to fawn over her. But does that idiot even have the ability?"
“If I were her, I would have piled mountains of gold and silver into my house by now. She’s just a good-for-nothing who can’t be helped.”
"Alright, that's enough."
Huang Sifeng was fuming, but when she met the old lady's impatient gaze, she could only shut up.
Touching her swollen cheek, the woman's eyes turned fierce. She wouldn't let this go so easily; she would get her revenge sooner or later.
As soon as Su Xi got into the car, she received a call from Attorney Qian. "Ms. Su, we have investigated some of the truth about the arson at Feng's Pharmaceutical Factory, but we don't know if you are still interested in hearing it now?"
"Wasn't the real culprit already in jail? My uncle has been released."
"The real culprit isn't Gu Chong, but Wu Kang, Wu Yaoyao's cousin who was choosing a house. Your uncle was drugged and placed at the fire scene, and then his fingerprints were left on the oil drum. Actually, the arsonist was a man who looks somewhat like your uncle, with a noticeable mole on his earlobe."
Su Xi clenched her fist. "But why would Gu Chong confess? Is he an accomplice?"
"As far as I know from my investigation, this fire has nothing to do with him. As for the reason, I haven't found out yet, but it may be because he was threatened."
Su Xi pursed her lips. If it was nothing, why would Gu Chong admit it? And why would he frame her?
After thinking for a moment, Su Xi said, "You should hand over all the evidence to the police station."
"good."
"Has Li Yinghui, the eyewitness to my mother's car accident, been found?"
"We were almost able to find out, but an invisible hand cut off all the clues. And it seems that person wants to kill Li Yinghui to silence him."
Su Xi frowned. If someone wanted to kill someone to silence them, there must be some unspeakable secret.
"Then do your best. Li Yinghui cannot be silenced."
"I see."
Just as Su Xi hung up the phone, Ye Qingqian called, her voice filled with anger. Su Xi could almost picture her looking like a pufferfish.
"Xixi, did you see that? Feng Jue actually announced online that he and Luo Anya are boyfriend and girlfriend. Does this man have a split personality? Wasn't he just saying he wouldn't marry anyone but you?"
Su Xi said calmly, "I forgot to tell you, I've already broken up with him."
"Huh?" Ye Qingqian scratched her head. "Who suggested it? How could he agree?"
"He suggested it himself."
Ye Qingqian raised her voice, "Has he been cursed? There's definitely something wrong with this, something very wrong."
"As long as the ending is what I wanted, the rest is none of my business."
After chatting briefly with Ye Qingqian and hanging up the phone, Su Xi called the landlord to arrange to check out.
The taxi drove directly to the building, then to the corner in front of it, where another taxi pulled out. It had clearly already dropped off its passenger before leaving the complex.
Su Xi paid the fare without paying any attention and went straight upstairs.
Just as I reached the corner of the stairs, a tall figure lunged at me.
Su Xi gasped in surprise, and before she could resist, the man had already pulled her into his arms and pinned her against the wall.
A strong aroma of alcohol mixed with a crisp, refreshing fragrance wafted towards us.
The familiar scent instantly put Su Xi's mind at ease.
She had just breathed a sigh of relief and hadn't even had a chance to speak when the man's handsome face loomed large in her eyes.
Su Xi raised her hand to hit him, but the man, as if he had anticipated it, pressed her hand against the wall without even looking up.
After a long while, the man finally let go.
He whispered in her ear, his breath coming in short gasps, "I came by taxi, it won't cause you any trouble."
Su Xi pushed the man away and raised her hand to hit him.
The man didn't dodge; the clear sound of a slap suddenly rang out in the quiet hallway, making Su Xi's heart tremble.
"Feng Jue, you said we should break up, so what are you doing now? Are you drunk and causing trouble?"
"Xiaoxi, I have my own unavoidable difficulties, I..."
"Feng Jue, is it interesting to pretend to be affectionate? Is it just for your own self-pity? You just made your relationship with Luo Anya official, and now you're bothering me again. How are you any different from Feng Jinchen, being fickle and two-timing?"
And don't you still have that unforgettable "white moonlight" in your heart? You pretend that I'm all you can think about, only because I resemble her somewhat, isn't that right?"
"No. Who told you that?"
"It doesn't matter who told me, what you can't deny is that you've been looking for someone. And you've had a one-night stand. You didn't even know who she was before you had sex with her, don't you think that's disgusting? Please don't come looking for me again, I feel like throwing up just looking at you."
"Xiaoxi, that time it was because I was drugged. And that woman was probably you."
Su Xi laughed in anger, "It wasn't me, I didn't. Even if you were drugged, you still have to take responsibility for touching her. Maybe she's already pregnant with your child."
Meeting the woman's mocking expression, a hint of hurt flashed in Feng Jue's eyes. "I will prove that woman is you. I should take responsibility for you."
"No need. Even if it were true, you wouldn't be responsible."
"Do you really hate me that much?"
"yes!"
The man paused, then finally moved his lips, "I am indeed looking for someone, but that person isn't some 'white moonlight,' she is..."
"I don't want to hear it, and you don't need to explain it to me."
Her phone suddenly rang; it was the landlord calling. Su Xi glared at the man and went straight upstairs.
After completing the lease termination procedures, Su Xi went downstairs and found that the man had already left. She didn't care and took a taxi directly to the hospital.
She didn't notice that Feng Jue only left after seeing her safely get into the car.
Upon arriving at the inpatient department, a tall figure could be seen from afar at the ward entrance.
It really is a persistent ghost. Su Xi's desire to leave Luo City grew even stronger.
Upon seeing Su Xi, Feng Jinchen quickly approached and grabbed the woman's arm. "Xi Xi, I owe you a marriage certificate. I want to make it up to you."
"Neuropathy!"
Su Xi tried to shake off his hand but failed. The man pulled her close and whispered something in her ear.
Su Xi's pupils contracted sharply as she stared at the man in disbelief.
"Is what you're saying true?" Su Xi's voice trembled slightly.
"How can something like this be faked?"
What do you want me to do?
"Let's get our marriage certificate tomorrow."
Su Xi clenched her fist and nodded almost without hesitation, "Okay."
