Chapter 373 A shove into her chest
Feng Jingnian woke up shortly after the medicine was administered.
The moment the man opened his eyes, they were filled with panic and madness, but the instant he saw Su Xi, he froze.
He did a sit-up and pulled Su Xi into his arms.
With his other hand, he touched Su Xi's abdomen.
Only after confirming that the child was still alive did he finally feel completely relieved.
"Xixi, I knew the old lady wouldn't dare do that. Did Feng Jue save you?"
Su Xi felt a bitter taste in her mouth. Feng Jue wished she were dead, so why would he save her?
But remembering the maid's warning, she nodded anyway. "Yes."
Feng Jingnian's eyes flickered slightly.
Sure enough, he couldn't control her or protect her.
Su Xi continued, "Feng Jue and the others have already sent more people to search for the old man. Logically, we should stay, but the old lady gets angry whenever she sees me. I want to go back to China."
"Of course. Go back. Xixi, don't worry, I will never let you go back to China again. It's like a den of dragons and tigers."
Feng Jingnian wanted to say something more, but then he heard a gurgling sound coming from Su Xi's stomach.
"Why haven't you eaten yet? Did they mistreat you?" Feng Jingnian asked indignantly, wanting to argue with them.
Su Xi quickly grabbed him, "No, it's because I was worried you hadn't woken up yet, so I insisted on staying by your side."
Feng Jingnian clearly had no doubts, and a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes. "What would you like to eat? I'll make it myself."
"Let's eat out." Su Xi didn't want Feng Jingnian to know that the servants in the old house were deliberately making things difficult for her, so she made an excuse. "I'm tired of the food in the old house. There's a restaurant I haven't been to in a long time, let's go there."
"OK."
Seeing that Su Xi, that jinx, had finally left and had no intention of betraying her from beginning to end, Wu Yaoyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Once the alarm was lifted, she became somewhat resentful.
Faced with certain death, what makes Su Xi think she can turn things around? Just because of her face? She can't swallow this insult.
However, the old man's death is no small matter, and we are currently in the eye of the storm. If she wants to deal with Su Xi, she will have to lie low for a while.
However, she can collect interest.
Her eyes darted around, and just as she was about to go out to find Feng Jinchen, her phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number.
Wu Yaoyao curled her lips, not caring at all. Anyway, she had nothing to be afraid of since she hadn't done anything wrong.
She answered the phone directly.
A swaggering gangster vibe emanated from the other side. "Miss Wu, hello there. Let me introduce myself. My name is Lü Xiaoshu. I just came out of there. Wu Kang is my boss."
Wu Yaoyao was startled.
Because she was once the daughter of the Mo family, she assumed this phone call was either a unwanted advance or a sycophant offering himself up.
I never expected it to be that damned Wu Kang. He really is a persistent ghost.
She was in a bad mood, so her tone was sarcastic. "What? You've come to beg me for money?"
"No, please don't misunderstand. What I, Master Shu, want is never something I ask for, but something I steal."
The voice on the other end was sinister, especially the last sentence, which sounded like a tiger grinding its teeth, sending a chill down Wu Yaoyao's spine and making her feel a little afraid. Her words softened slightly as she asked, "What do you want?"
"It's nothing, just passing on a message from my brother Kang. He asked when we're going to rescue him, and he won't keep his mouth shut if we delay any longer. You might regret saying something you shouldn't have."
Wu Yaoyao paused. She had been making excuses to avoid rescuing Wu Kang.
She thought that even if Wu Kang knew she was making excuses, he would consider the child in her womb and not make things difficult for her.
I never expected they would send such a desperate person to threaten her. How selfish and despicable!
He hated Wu Kang to the core, but his words were tinged with difficulty and worry: "I've been trying every possible way, it'll be quick." It was as if he couldn't sleep at night because of his desire to rescue Wu Kang.
Lu Xiaoshu chuckled.
"Stop talking nonsense. You little slut, Kang is blinded by his own involvement, but I, Tree Master, know exactly what's going on."
If the child in your belly really is Kang Ge's, you couldn't possibly be so indifferent to the child's biological father.
Three days. If you can't rescue Brother Kang in three days, then it means the child in your belly isn't Brother Kang's at all.
I, Tree Master, hate women like you the most, who can't resist their lust just because a man has been inside them.
Brother Kang might not be willing, but I am. Whether it's skinning you alive, dismembering you, or cutting you into a thousand pieces, or riding you on a wooden pole or a donkey, the choice is yours.”
Wu Yaoyao shuddered in fright. She forced herself to remain calm and said, "I told you, it's almost done. Three days shouldn't be a problem."
Furthermore, since you keep calling him "Brother Kang," then I am your sister-in-law. How can you be so disrespectful to your sister-in-law?
Lu Xiaoshu clicked his tongue, "Sister-in-law, three days. I'll be waiting for your good news. Otherwise, hahahahaha..."
The phone call ended amidst Lu Xiaoshu's chilling laughter, and Wu Yaoyao shivered again.
A moment later, a cold glint flashed in her eyes. These were extraordinary times, and she needed some desperate helpers, so she decided to rescue Wu Kang.
Moreover, it's easier to kill someone and silence them outside than inside.
Seeing Feng Jinchen sitting alone in the living room, Wu Yaoyao's eyes darted around before she pushed open the door and went out.
"Jinchen, today's events have frightened Sister Xi. Now that things have escalated so much, Feng Jingnian won't let this go easily."
"Hasn't Su Zi'an always wanted to cooperate with the Feng family? Why don't we just agree?"
Hearing Wu Yaoyao say this, Feng Jinchen was somewhat surprised. Actually, he felt a little guilty towards Su Xi for what happened today.
Moreover, the Su family of Su Zian only operates in that one type of project and has already mastered it. Cooperating with the Su family is not a loss for them, and they can also give Feng Jingnian face. It is indeed a win-win-win situation.
He just didn't expect Wu Yaoyao to be so magnanimous.
If Su Xi were as magnanimous as Wu Yaoyao, they wouldn't have divorced. What a pity…
"Yaoyao, it's truly my blessing to have married you. I know you're magnanimous and have a broad perspective, but Su Xi has been with your husband for three years, so you must feel a little awkward. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Wu Yaoyao seemed to have been waiting for him to say those words, so she subtly brought up Wu Kang's matter.
Feng Jinchen was taken aback, his expression turning somewhat awkward.
He originally thought Wu Yaoyao wanted him, but he didn't expect that she really wanted his help.
Wu Yaoyao, oblivious to Feng Jinchen's embarrassment, continued...
“Wu Kang’s case was already suspicious, and now the key witness, Shen Congxuan, has been accused of being the lecherous man who secretly filmed Sister Xi’s indecent videos. He also deliberately approached Sister Xi in the first place. How can his testimony be considered valid?”
After Wu Yaoyao finished speaking, she noticed that Feng Jinchen seemed a little absent-minded, so she quickly nudged him, "Jinchen, Jinchen, don't you think so?"
Feng Jinchen snapped out of his daze. The woman's soft, boneless hands made his heart itch. He smiled and said, "That's easy."
Wu Kang burned down the pharmaceutical factory of the Feng Group. As long as he doesn't pursue the matter, Wu Kang can be easily exonerated.
But the evil fire within him was stirred up; he grabbed Wu Yaoyao's small hand, his eyes deep and dark, his voice hoarse.
"However, the old shareholders of the Feng family will definitely have something to say, which will give me a headache. Why don't you make it up to me properly?"
Wu Yaoyao noticed that Feng Jinchen's palm was burning hot, and naturally knew what he was thinking.
She's quite far along in her pregnancy now, and she didn't take good care of herself earlier. The doctor said that having sex at this time carries a risk of severe bleeding.
But Lu Xiaoshu's words didn't seem untrue. If they couldn't get Wu Kang out within three days, that newly released prison bully definitely wouldn't let her go.
Thinking of this, Wu Yaoyao smiled shyly.
He squatted down hesitantly.
...
Feng Jingnian noticed that Su Xi was already starving, so before they even reached the restaurant, he stopped the car and bought her a cup of red bean porridge.
As the warm, sticky porridge entered her mouth, Su Xi finally felt much better, as her ravenous stomach cramps subsided.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Feng Jingnian ordered some of Su Xi's favorite dishes that were easy to digest, and the two of them ate slowly and leisurely.
My plane ticket back to China has been booked for this afternoon.
When they were almost finished eating, Su Xi went to the restroom.
As soon as I came out, someone grabbed my wrist and pinned me against the wall.
Just as Su Xi was about to exclaim in surprise, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the person's face clearly. "Auntie, what are you doing?"
Huang Sifeng blushed with excitement, "Su Xi, I was just about to call you, I didn't expect to run into you here."
"Did you know that your uncle has been trying to cooperate with the Feng Group for a long time? He's been begging for so long, and Feng Jinchen has finally relented. They're having dinner now. Come on, why don't you go and join them for a drink?"
Su Xi frowned. "That's your business. What does it have to do with me?"
Hearing Su Xi say that, Huang Sifeng could hardly believe her ears and immediately frowned.
"Su Xi, is what you're saying even human? Do you have any conscience? Even if you don't care about your aunt, you should at least care about your uncle."
"You nearly bankrupted the Su family on several occasions before, so it's only right that you drink yourself to death today."
Huang Sifeng's hands were like iron clamps, and Su Xi couldn't break free at all.
She said calmly, "Since Feng Jinchen has agreed, it means that my uncle's project is well done and has caught their eye. You two should talk it over. Feng Jinchen doesn't like me, and dragging me into this will only make things worse."
Huang Sifeng shook her head repeatedly, "Do you think I'm stupid? Feng Jinchen said it right away that he came to make it up to us because he wronged you today and almost caused you to lose your life."
If you, the aggrieved party, go there, you'll definitely be able to secure better benefits for us. Just go, trust me, you won't regret it."
After saying that, he grabbed Su Xi and started walking forward without saying another word.
Su Xi had no choice but to keep up with her pace, lest she be pulled down.
Suddenly, she remembered that she had a backup plan, and she said coldly, "Auntie, I didn't come alone. I also have Jingnian. What if he finds out I'm missing..."
"Don't worry, we'll call Jingnian too. If he comes, the benefits Feng Jinchen gives us will be even better."
Su Xi had no choice but to be dragged by Huang Sifeng all the way to the door of the private room.
Without knocking, she snatched Su Xi's phone and ordered, "Quick, call Feng Jingnian. Once he gets through, I'll talk to him, and you can shut up."
Su Xi could only get through to Feng Jingnian by phone.
As soon as the call connected, Huang Sifeng greeted him with a beaming smile, "Young master, Xixi is having dinner with us. Her room number is 4404. Please come quickly."
After hearing what was said on the other end, Huang Sifeng smiled broadly, her eyes crinkling at the corners of her mouth. She said a few more words and then hung up the phone.
Then, with one hand holding Su Xi and the other pulling open the door to the private room, he pushed Su Xi inside as if escorting a prisoner.
Completely unaware, a pair of sharp, beautiful peach blossom eyes witnessed this scene from the slightly ajar door of the private room diagonally opposite.
However, he only glanced at it coldly before looking away, completely unconcerned.
Su Xi was forced to enter the room.
He had intended to greet her with a smile, but he never expected that Wu Yaoyao would be there too, and his smile froze on his lips.
Wu Yaoyao gave a forced smile.
"Does Sister Xi not want to see me?"
Huang Sifeng quickly shoved Su Xi and threatened in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Laugh! If you anger Miss Wu, I'll make you regret it."
After saying that, she smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Miss Wu, what are you saying? Su Xi was just so happy to see you. You are so magnanimous, you can forgive and forget, and it is an honor for our Su family to have you grace us with your presence."
As she spoke, she pinched Su Xi's lower back from an angle where no one could see.
Su Xi winced in pain, then smiled and said, "Hello, Miss Wu."
She then looked at Feng Jinchen, her smile not reaching her eyes, and said, "Hello, Mr. Feng."
Finally, looking at the much thinner and more weathered Su Zi'an, a genuine smile appeared on his face. "Hello, Uncle."
Su Zian quickly stood up. "Xi Xi, come and sit down."
He warmly pulled Su Xi to sit next to him.
Huang Sifeng originally wanted to sit next to Su Xi so that Su Xi wouldn't say anything wrong and she could punish her at any time.
Su Zi'an, however, knew his wife's temperament and said seriously, "That seat is reserved for Feng Jingnian. Shouldn't Jingnian be here?"
Su Xi nodded. "We'll be there soon."
Huang Sifeng was clearly somewhat unwilling. However, she had heard that Feng Jingnian had gone mad for some reason, and had some strange taste, and had actually come to regard Su Xi as a treasure.
Since he was there, he naturally sat next to Su Xi.
So Huang Sifeng pouted, gave Su Xi a warning look, and then reluctantly went to sit in another seat.
I had just sat down when there was a knock on the door.
Huang Sifeng knew it was Feng Jingnian, so she called out "Please come in" and got up to greet him.
The moment she opened the door, she gasped in surprise at what she saw.
She was so shocked that she covered her mouth and staggered back a few steps.
Su Xi looked over upon hearing the sound, and was stunned the moment she saw who it was.
Why would Feng Jue come here?
Upon seeing that it was Feng Jue, everyone stood up to greet him. Su Xi had no choice but to get up as well.
Since she was already there, she might as well make the best of it. Since her uncle was doing business with the Feng family, and Feng Jue had a certain amount of influence over them, she should at least show some politeness to Feng Jue for her uncle's sake.
She walked around the chair and went to meet them.
She had only taken a few steps when Wu Yaoyao stepped past her and shoved her in the chest.
She stumbled slightly from the push, only regaining her balance by grabbing the table.
"Don't go any closer. A woman like you, who is considered unlucky and disreputable, shouldn't be bothering people."
Su Xi had always known that Wu Yaoyao was two-faced, so she was not surprised by her sudden sarcastic remarks and mockery.
"President Feng, I'm so honored to have you here. I've heard so much about you, my apologies for not being here sooner." Su Zi'an said, feeling extremely apprehensive.
"President Feng, you really are a handsome man, a celestial being descended to earth. You really stunned me just now. I wonder what kind of woman will be so lucky to become Mrs. Feng in the future, hehe..." Huang Sifeng laughed with wrinkles all over her face.
Su Xi smiled along with her.
Feng Jue, however, never glanced in her direction, only nodding to Su Zi'an and the others before looking at Feng Jinchen.
"I heard you're discussing a big project with the Feng family. I just happened to be passing by and thought I'd listen in. Please feel free to do as you please."
Although it was just an eavesdropping session, it added another layer of uncertainty to the matter.
Su Zi'an and Huang Sifeng exchanged a glance and immediately tensed up. They respectfully led Feng Jue to the head of the table.
Feng Jue didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Huang Sifeng took advantage of the chaos to try and sit next to Su Xi. She wanted to be able to give her a heads-up at any time, so that she wouldn't say or do anything wrong and ruin the deal.
However, before she could sit down, there was another knock on the door of the private room, and Feng Jingnian walked in.
"Oh, son-in-law, you've finally arrived!" Huang Sifeng greeted him with a radiant smile.
Another round of pleasantries ensued.
When Huang Sifeng finished exchanging pleasantries and was about to sit back down, she discovered that Feng Jingnian had already sat down next to Su Xi.
The seat to Su Xi's left was also taken; the person sitting there was... Feng Jue.
She rubbed her eyes in disbelief; it really was Feng Jue.
That shameless slut Su Xi, how dare she? Is she horny again? Doesn't she even know how many women she's already slept with?
Huang Sifeng wanted nothing more than to grab Su Xi by the ears and slap her across the face. What a disgrace!
