Chapter 82 The Iron Tree Blossoms
The man's fist clenched unconsciously at his side.
Inside the car, Feng Jinchen openly embraced and kissed Su Xi. The lingering French kiss made the woman respond involuntarily, wrapping her arms around the man's waist and her other hand around the back of his neck.
Soon, passion reached its peak, and the woman was roughly pushed down. The man impatiently pressed himself against her, and then all the car windows were rolled up to block their view.
Feng Jue's beautiful peach blossom eyes held an ambiguous emotion. He stood there for several minutes, but ultimately did not go over.
The man sat back in his car, staring blankly at the car in front of him.
Only when he realized that the car hadn't bumped at all did the man feel a little better and could breathe more easily.
Only after the car drove away did the man start the Phantom. There was a knock on the car window, and when he saw it was Old Master Feng, Feng Jue got out of the car.
The old man didn't look too good.
The old man was still alive when the old house was rebuilt. He had experienced the ravages of war, so tunnels were built into some of the rooms.
The tunnel had long been abandoned, and the younger generation was unaware of it; he had only told Feng Jue about it.
Therefore, he was quite certain that there was indeed a man in Su Xi's room last night, and that man was Feng Jue.
"A-Jue, there are so many women in the world, how could you possibly fall for Su Xi?"
Feng Jue moved his lips, but did not deny it. After all, he was the only one who knew about the secret passage.
Seeing his son's tacit agreement, the old man's beard trembled with anger. "A-Jue, are you confused? She's your nephew's wife, she's remarried, her family has fallen on hard times, she's three years older than you, and she can't have children. Any one of these things makes her unworthy to carry your shoes, let alone with all these advantages combined. Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
"Don't even mention that she can't have children. Even if she could have 100 babies in one pregnancy, I would rather you stay single than agree to you marrying her. You can't even have a fling with her. Otherwise, you won't have the face to face your ancestors after you die."
"Okay, Dad, I'm going to the company now."
Seeing that his son seemed to be in a bad mood today, Old Master Feng had no choice but to give up. He would have to give him a good talking-to when he was in a better mood.

Seeing the woman's lifeless expression, Feng Jinchen's suppressed anger finally erupted.
"Su Xi, it's just a trick of positioning, you don't need to act like you were forced. If you really disgust me that much, then let's get a divorce, and your brother can go find whoever he wants his bone marrow."
Su Xi suddenly looked up at the man, her heart skipping a beat as she met his furious, menacing gaze.
She lowered her eyes and clenched her fingers.
"Feng Jinchen, I'm not a puppet. No one is happy when forced to do something they don't want to do. I'm not an actor; I really had a hard time pretending just now. I wasn't trying to disgust you."
Seeing the woman soften her stance, Feng Jinchen's anger subsided somewhat. "Do you think your uncle will give up this time? I don't want a man who covets my wife around me every day, and I don't want to be a suspicious person that you find annoying."
"You know how much I care about you; sometimes I just can't control myself. If a similar situation happens again, I can't guarantee what I might do."
Sensing the man's underlying threat, Su Xi remained silent and took out her phone to type a message.
Feng Jinchen turned his head to look over, a slight smile playing on his lips, and his gaze toward the woman finally softened.
Su Xi sent the text message.
"Can I leave now?"
Seeing that the man acquiesced, Su Xi pushed open the car door and got out without looking back once.
Su Xi's text message had a special notification tone. Feng Jue was in a meeting, and upon hearing the notification tone, he immediately signaled for the meeting to be temporarily terminated and swiped his phone open with one hand.
"Uncle, if you receive any news that I am in danger in the future, please tell my husband immediately. I hope you can be mindful of the distance between us; I don't want to cause any more unnecessary trouble for either of us."
In an instant, a terrifying chill enveloped the man.
He remained motionless, like a statue, reading the text message word by word countless times until the phone screen was crushed by his hand.
"Liu Cheng, get a new phone."
The man remained calm and continued the meeting until it was over.
In the evening, Si Beichen sent a message: "Feng Jue, you didn't attend Luo Anya's homecoming banquet. Today is her birthday party. Do you want to come? It's just a few of us."
"Come."
Upon seeing this message—or rather, this single word—Si Beichen rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then rubbed them again.
After confirming it was true, he excitedly shouted in the group chat, "Big news! It's Anya's birthday today, and Feng Jue will be there too. President Feng is finally going to have a happy ending!"
Luo Anya sent a shy and timid emoji.
While everyone else in the group kept calling her "sister-in-law," Luo Anya sent a voice message. Her voice was gentle and graceful, yet tinged with a girlish shyness: "Don't call her that, A-Jue will get angry."
After get off work, Feng Jinchen worked overtime, while Su Xi took a taxi back to the villa.
She held her phone the whole time, her palms were sweaty.
Her uncle hadn't replied to that message. This was expected, but she still couldn't help checking it again and again.
I forced myself to put down my phone, and just then, it rang, updating a new post on my WeChat Moments.
It was a post from Feng Jingnian's WeChat Moments. When she opened it, the striking photo immediately caught her eye, and her heart skipped a beat.

Seeing Feng Jue and a pretty, quiet girl cutting a cake with the same crystal knife, Su Xi unconsciously tightened her grip. An uncomfortable feeling welled up uncontrollably in her heart, making her eyes slightly burning.
She looked through the photos over and over again for a long time, watching the likes increase one by one, and the ambiguous gossip comments accumulate one by one. Su Xi also learned that the girl's name was Luo Anya, the only daughter of the Luo Group, and the same age as Feng Jue.
They are truly a match made in heaven.
Just as I was about to put down my phone, another like appeared, and it was from Feng Jinchen.
The man then sent her a high-resolution photo, as if afraid she wouldn't see it? Su Xi gave a bitter smile; it would be cruel to both of them not to end a relationship that had no future.
She's a divorcee with a child. Even if she marries him, will her child call Feng Jinchen "cousin" or "father"? It's a complete mess.
Just thinking about it makes it seem like a fantasy. Since something that was never going to happen didn't happen, there's nothing to regret.
Su Xi smiled with relief and got up to take a shower.
Feng Jingnian left the birthday party early to go back to the company to handle some documents. Feng Jinchen was really incompetent, leaving behind a huge mess; he'd probably have to work overtime for the next few months.
Wang Qiang knocked on the door and came in. "President Feng, I've investigated. Feng Jinchen's mistress is two months pregnant, and Su Xi is also planning to divorce him, but she's outnumbered and can't get the benefits she deserves... I know President Feng wants to help Miss Su, so I've contacted her, and she's agreed to meet me at 8 pm tonight in Hoh Xil."
Feng Jingnian glanced at Wang Qiang and said, "You really do get things done in one go."
Wang Qiang's actions were somewhat abrupt, but he was surprised and delighted that Su Xi would agree.
The man's eyes were full of joy, and his hands trembled slightly with excitement. He glanced at his watch and saw that it was already 7:30. He hurriedly put down the documents and went to take a shower and get ready.
At the same time, Su Xi received a message: "Tonight at 8 pm in Kekexili, I want to talk to you about Luo Chen's bone marrow transplant."
