Chapter 370 Su Xi Forced to Give Birth
Feng Jingnian never expected that the usually dignified and composed Old Madam Feng would resort to violence without warning, and it was too late to stop her.
Seeing the bright red handprint on Su Xi's face, Feng Jingnian's expression turned cold and guilty. He immediately pulled Su Xi over and shielded her behind him.
Just as he was about to speak, a series of footsteps suddenly came, and Wu Yaoyao rushed in.
Wu Yaoyao was covered in sweat, her face full of anxiety, and the sorrowful expression on her face seemed genuine.
Seeing the finger marks on Su Xi's face, she lowered her eyes to hide the smugness in them, quickly went over, and helped the swaying, heartbroken, and utterly despondent old lady Feng.
With a sob in her voice, she comforted her, "Grandma, don't be sad. Haven't we already sent people downstream to search for him? Grandpa is a lucky man, he'll definitely be alright."
Meeting Wu Yaoyao's concerned gaze, and seeing the glistening tears welling up in her eyes, Old Madam Feng's opinion of her instantly changed completely.
"Good child, then I'll take your kind words."
I always thought Su Xi was a good person, but I never imagined she was such a vicious woman. Yao Yao, you're the best.
Wu Yaoyao looked flattered, glanced at Su Xi, bit her lower lip, and advised,
"Grandma, Sister Xi isn't that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding here."
Grandma Feng didn't take it seriously.
"Whether there's a misunderstanding or not, I can see it with my own eyes."
Sadly, I initially sided with her and thought there was a misunderstanding.
To everyone's surprise, she looked guilty, shifty-eyed, and hesitant, as if the word "murderer" was written all over her face.
She still refuses to admit it; I really want to slap her to death.
The old lady grew angrier as she spoke, her chest heaving with anger. Suddenly, she bypassed Feng Jingnian and raised her hand to hit Su Xi again.
Feng Jingnian quickly reached out and took her hand, his expression sympathetic, but his tone leaving no room for argument.
"Auntie, I know you're upset. Everyone feels bad about what happened."
But Su Xi definitely didn't do this.
She's my wife in name only now, not your granddaughter-in-law anymore. You can't just hit her whenever you want.
"What did you say?" Old Mrs. Feng could hardly believe her eyes. She had always been kind and gentle to Feng Jingnian, with her eyes crinkling in a smile, but now her face had turned completely cold.
"Feng Jingnian, it's fine if you love your wife, but at least you should have a basic sense of right and wrong. Others forget their mothers after marrying a wife, but you've lost your conscience after marrying a wife."
The poor old man left an inheritance for you and this wicked woman's unborn child, yet one of you wants to kill him, while the other blindly protects the murderer. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?
Do you even have the nerve to ask for this money?
"Get out! The Feng family no longer welcomes you. Get out!"
The last sentence was naturally directed at Feng Jingnian. Su Xi no longer had the right to leave; she had to pay for her crimes in blood.
The old lady was hysterical, acting like she was insane.
Before Feng Jingnian could speak, Feng Jue came over, helped the old lady up, and said softly,
"Mom, Dad will be alright. You can't get hurt either. Don't upset yourself, it's not worth it."
The old lady always listened to her son, who was born late in life, and upon hearing this, she let Feng Jue help her to sit down in the armchair.
Although he sat down, his face was still ashen with anger, his chest heaving violently, and his mouth agape as he gasped for breath.
When Su Xi saw Feng Jue walking over, she didn't presume to think he would speak up for her.
But she never expected that he would belittle her so much.
His words, every single one, clearly indicated that he considered her the murderer.
Furthermore, they felt it wasn't worth the old lady getting so upset over someone as insignificant as her.
He genuinely looked down on her, despised her. Did she really look that much like a murderer?
Su Xi clenched her fists tighter and tighter, feeling as if a huge rock was pressing down on her heart, making it hard to breathe.
Feng Jingnian saw this. Pregnant women shouldn't take medicine easily, so he quickly helped Su Xi sit down and found a soft goose feather cushion for her to lean on for comfort.
The old lady had just sat down when she saw Su Xi also sitting down comfortably, leaning back comfortably on a goose feather cushion.
Indeed, people's grief cannot be shared. Is she here on vacation?
The old lady was so angry that her chest tightened, and her face turned purple. She gave the old maid beside her a meaningful look.
The old servant understood and immediately rushed over, reaching out to pull out the goose feather cushion that Su Xi was leaning against.
The moment she realized Su Xi was looking at her, she rolled her eyes dramatically, and then, under Su Xi's gaze, defiantly and disdainfully threw the cushion onto the ground.
Su Xi's face turned ashen with embarrassment. She didn't say a word and shifted her gaze away with a flickering look in her eyes.
Seeing Su Xi's discomfiture, the old lady Feng finally felt a little relieved, but her expression was still very unpleasant.
The family doctor rushed over to examine the old lady.
Feng Jue frowned and gave him a look; the family doctor received it.
He gave a knowing glance.
Without asking the old lady's consent, they gave her a sedative injection.
The sedative dose was small and did not make the old lady fall asleep, but her mood was indeed much calmer.
But the moment those murky eyes looked at the protected crime scene, his heart felt like it had been run over by a truck.
She glared at Su Xi sharply, her eyes piercing, but her tone was much calmer than before.
"Su Xi, there were only you and the old man at the time. There were also obvious signs of struggle and pushing on the ground and the edge of the cliff, which means he didn't fall by accident. Who else could it be but you?"
If you just admit it honestly, I wouldn't be this angry and sad. Are you really trying to drive me crazy?
When asked directly, Su Xi had no choice but to look up at the old lady.
Her gaze inadvertently fell upon Feng Jue's cold and indifferent profile. She clenched her fist and whispered,
"Grandma, if admitting it makes you feel any better, then I'll admit it. But..."
Before she could finish speaking, Old Mrs. Feng suddenly stood up.
"Feng Jue, did you hear that? She confessed herself. She's the murderer of your father. You won't object to how I deal with her, will you?"
Feng Jue remained silent, which was clearly an admission of agreement.
Grandma Feng was still worried and said, "A-Jue, you don't need to lie to me anymore. We haven't found the old man after so long, he's probably already in grave danger."
A life for a life—that's only right and proper.
I must deal with this woman.
As the old woman spoke, two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks.
Feng Jue took the tissue handed to him by the maid, gently wiped away his mother's tears, and said softly, "Mom, I remember saying that I have no interest in other men's wives."
The implication was that he would not interfere no matter how the old lady dealt with Su Xi.
The old lady then stopped crying and smiled, her gaze towards Su Xi as cold as an icicle.
Su Xi's heart sank; she had a bad feeling.
Feng Jingnian frowned, looked at Su Xi, and then at the old lady, "Auntie, Xi Xi didn't mean that, she just..."
"Shut up."
Grandma Feng looked at Su Xi, her voice as cold as ice, "Su Xi, since you have already admitted it, then you shall be punished according to family law."
If you are now seven or eight months pregnant, I will have the best doctor perform a C-section for you.
Then you jump down from here yourself.
One life for one life, and I'll call it even, without implicating the next generation.
Otherwise, I have 100 ways to make you and your child both perish.
"Your choice is between paying with your life or taking your unborn child to hell with you."
The moment the words left his mouth, the scene fell silent.
Feng Jingnian couldn't believe it. "Auntie, I know you're grieving, I know you're angry."
But what Xixi said just now was clearly to avoid hurting your feelings.
Only then did he admit that he was the murderer.
She meant well, how could you take it so seriously?
The old lady was too lazy to argue with Feng Jingnian, this brainless wife-protecting man, and just gave him a look, letting him figure it out himself.
Wu Yaoyao stayed by the old lady's side, very close to Feng Jue.
The pleasant sandalwood scent emanating from the man could be smelled almost constantly.
And that sexy, alluring aura of hormones,
I was already completely captivated by her, so I hadn't been in the mood to chime in.
Hearing the old lady say this now, she instinctively tried to be ingratiating,
"Grandma, Sister Xi must have been confused for a moment, it wasn't intentional. Maybe she has some unspeakable difficulties. Please be lenient with her."
As she spoke, she subtly winked at Su Xi.
The Feng family had strict rules, and the old lady always had the final say.
Su Xi is doomed today.
No one is unafraid of death. To save her own life, Su Xi might do as she says and argue that Old Master Feng had ulterior motives towards her and made advances on her, which is why she accidentally fell off the cliff.
This not only confirmed the reliability of her killing the old man, but also completely severed ties between her and Feng Jue.
Having been involved with both father and son, the proud and arrogant Feng Jue would certainly not go back to this woman.
Moreover, powerful families will stop at nothing to cover up scandals, so Su Xi is definitely going to die.
However, Su Xi may not have thought of all this, but she remained unmoved when she met Wu Yaoyao's reminder.
He didn't say a word.
Wu Yaoyao pouted. She thought, "She's got brains, but not many."
The old lady glanced at Wu Yaoyao coldly after hearing her words and said nothing. Her impression of her plummeted even further.
However, Wu Yaoyao didn't care. She said those words of pleading mainly to gain favor with Feng Jue.
She killed the old man silently. How many more years the old woman will live depends on her mood, doesn't it?
Therefore, increasing Feng Jue's favorability is the top priority.
Feng Jinchen hesitated for a long time, originally intending to say a word or two in defense of Su Xi.
After all, a night of marriage is worth a hundred days of kindness.
But seeing Wu Yaoyao's example, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Suddenly, the sound of a helicopter landing could be heard outside.
Through the bright and clean windows, everyone saw medical staff surrounding a highly respected obstetrician and gynecologist as they disembarked from the helicopter and were led to a side room.
Su Xi's face turned pale.
Could it be what she's thinking?
Sure enough, the maid said to the old lady, "Madam, Dr. Di has arrived."
The old woman nodded, her face streaked with tears, but expressionless, as she twirled the prayer beads in her hand.
"Then what are we waiting for? Take Su Xi there to give birth."
Su Xi's brain went blank for a moment.
The old lady had previously told her that she would give birth to the child and pay for the old man's life, so she wasn't too worried.
Even if what the old lady said is true, it will probably take some time, and then her innocence should be proven.
She never expected it to come so soon.
Moreover, judging from their speed, it seems that the old lady had already decided to make her pay with her life the moment she received the bad news.
How ironic.
Su Xi felt a chill run through her body and began to tremble.
In particular, Feng Jue's indifference to the old lady's words chilled her to the bone.
She never imagined that the person who had saved her and kissed her so many times would one day disregard her life to such an extent.
Soon a group of bodyguards in black surrounded them.
The head bodyguard said, "Miss Su, please."
Feng Jingnian shielded Su Xi behind him and said coldly, "Who dares!"
Grandma Feng remained expressionless. "What do you want? To report the abuse of power, or are you prepared to fight to the death?"
The atmosphere was tense and ready to fight.
Feng Jingnian took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said in a deep voice, "Auntie, this evidence is not enough to convict Su Xi under the law."
You can imprison both of us here and cut off all external contact. Then thoroughly investigate this matter.
If there is irrefutable evidence that Su Xi did it, I... I will push her down myself, how about that?"
Grandma Feng scoffed.
"Feng Jingnian, are you stalling for time? My husband and I have raised you for nothing."
Putting yourself in my shoes, if Su Xi had been pushed down, and considering all this evidence, plus the fact that the perpetrator confessed, wouldn't you have done even worse?
Feng Jingnian choked.
Before he could speak, the old lady spoke again.
"Someone, pull Feng Jingnian away, and then arrange for a hypnotist to hypnotize him into believing that Su Xi and the old man accidentally fell off the cliff together."
What? !
Not only was Feng Jingnian shocked, but Su Xi was also shocked.
Of all the people present, the only one who could protect him was Feng Jingnian.
The old lady and the others were probably just trying to scare her because they were afraid of this rule, and they wouldn't actually do anything to her.
She never expected them to have such a backup plan.
Once Feng Jingnian's memories are hypnotized, her death can be completely treated as an accident.
Then she's definitely going to die today.
If that's the case, then what's the difference between her having her child taken away by Feng Jinchen?
She could easily expose Wu Yaoyao.
But then she realized that having Feng Jingnian as a father was far better than having Feng Jinchen as a father.
Feng Jingnian will definitely protect and love her child with her life, but Feng Jinchen may not be so sure.
With the addition of Wu Yaoyao, a vicious stepmother, it's uncertain whether her child will survive to grow up.
So Su Xi struggled for a moment, but still didn't reveal Wu Yaoyao's identity.
Soon, several well-trained bodyguards in black went over and restrained Feng Jingnian, and the family doctor gave him a sedative injection.
Feng Jingnian fainted on the spot and had to be carried out.
Su Xi's bodyguards were now a large space away, and she could clearly see the tall, elegant man standing not far away.
Su Xi's lips moved, but she couldn't help but speak.
It can be considered as clinging to the last glimmer of hope.
"President Feng, I really didn't do this. It doesn't matter if I die unjustly, but if the real murderer gets away, the old man's spirit in heaven won't rest in peace, don't you think?"
Feng Jue seemed not to hear, not only remaining silent but also not even glancing at Su Xi.
Su Xi was instantly stunned.
Wu Yaoyao smiled smugly from an angle unseen by others.
Feng Jinchen initially felt somewhat ashamed for not having the courage to plead for his ex-wife.
But seeing how cold and indifferent Feng Jue had become, he realized that he wasn't so heartless after all, and he didn't feel so guilty anymore.
After all, murderers must pay with their lives. Even if Su Xi wasn't punished by family law, she would still have to pay with her life if she went to the police station.
Su Xi's eyes suddenly moved.
She once thought that Feng Jue's coldness and indifference towards her were probably just an act.
After all, the time the two spent together in the past was sweet and wonderful; people can't just change so much overnight.
But now, with life and death at stake, Feng Jue still ignores her and remains indifferent, which is why Su Xi has finally given up hope.
A smile played on her lips as she addressed the bodyguards who rushed towards her.
Don't touch me,
I'll walk by myself.
Su Xi walked out the door with her head held high and chest out.
Even as she brushed past Feng Jue, she didn't pause in her steps.
She has completely let go of Feng Jue. If there is an afterlife, she hopes she will never meet him again.
Watching Su Xi walk out of the main hall and be led towards the side room, Wu Yaoyao clenched her fists excitedly, almost unable to suppress the smile on her lips.
Just then, an airplane circled overhead.
Before the helicopter could find a suitable open space to land, a person hurriedly put on a parachute and jumped out of the helicopter.
Feng Jinchen stared wide-eyed. Who is this? So fierce?
Everyone stared in disbelief. Who was this guy, so audacious?
