Chapter 161 There's no need to hide the truth anymore.
Huo Qianfan was so angry he almost laughed. "What does Su Xi have to do with you? She's your wife, so what does she have to do with you?"
"I'm here to see Miss Bai, aren't I?"
"Come see her? With your hands empty, what are you going to see her with? Your nostrils? Medical expenses, compensation for emotional distress, lost wages—either you pay money, or the Bai and Huo families withdraw their cooperation. You choose."
Feng Jinchen snorted angrily, "Go find Su Xi."
"Mr. Feng, don't be petty and make yourself a laughingstock. You're her husband, if you don't compensate, who will? Weiwei is a precious daughter of the family, and she's still not awake because of your wife. 50 million, not a penny less."
The two men argued back and forth, and Feng Jinchen was also worried that something bad might really happen to Bai Luwei, which wouldn't be something that money could solve.
With a quick glance, he compromised and transferred 10 million yuan. He even had Bai Luwei sign the letter of understanding with her hand before successfully escaping and turning to leave.
Once in the car, he sent the bill to Su Xi and called her directly. Su Xi had to pay for it.
The ringing of a cell phone shattered the enchanting atmosphere inside the car.
Feng Jue steadily hung up the phone, but at the same time realized that he was losing control.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I promise it won't happen again."
"I apologize for my harsh words."
Su Xi's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and the humiliation she had just felt vanished. She wanted to ask Luo Anya about the photos, but she had no right to question him.
She moved her lips and said,
"You're so heavy."
The man chuckled, amused, and pulled her to sit up. "You're not angry anymore?"
Su Xi didn't answer, "Do you need to put some medicine on your back injury?"
The man was taken aback, his shimmering peach blossom eyes seeming to hold falling petals. "Yao. He'll die if he doesn't get medicine."
"You'll get me a hold on."
"Take it or leave it."
Feng Jue looked hurt and reluctantly took off his clothes. Su Xi didn't know where to look, so she put on a stern face and said, "Lie down."
The man has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a classic inverted triangle physique. Even just looking at his back, one can't help but feel aroused.
The man's back wounds healed very quickly, showing that his metabolism was much faster than hers.
Su Xi picked up the ointment, and her phone rang again. Seeing that it was Feng Jinchen, she answered it directly and turned on speakerphone.
"Su Xi, I've helped you resolve Bai Luwei's matter. I paid 10 million in compensation. I've sent you the bill; return the money to me."
Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a knowing glance and smiled knowingly. Feng Jinchen's thought process must be that of a freak with horns on his head.
Su Xi used her finger to apply the ointment to the man's broad back, carefully drawing it little by little, and said slowly, "Why do you want me to pay back the money? And why are you paying compensation?"
"You deliberately provoked Bai Luwei by tripping her first and then throwing her to the ground. She's still in the hospital and hasn't woken up yet. If I don't offer 10 million to settle this, you won't see the sun tomorrow."
"Oh, the only daughter of the prestigious Bai Group is only worth 10 million? Are you sure you're not mistaken? Are you sure she's not just asleep in bed?"
Feng Jinchen choked, "Do you think I can't tell if they're asleep or unconscious? They clearly wanted a lot, and I only managed to get it for 10 million thanks to my excellent negotiation skills."
Su Xi slowly applied some ointment and gently rubbed it in. "Really? You're really amazing. How much did they ask for?"
"50 million."
Su Xi chuckled, "You all made me look so worthless, and I can get 20 billion after a divorce. She, a dignified heiress, only asked for 50 million, and you even managed to bargain it down to 10 million? Feng Jinchen, were you scammed?"
Hearing the woman's sarcasm, Feng Jinchen immediately became furious. "Su Xi, what do you mean? I sincerely tried to help you, and now it's my fault? Do you think Feng Jue is really good to you? He only makes things worse and brings you misfortune. Only I truly want to help you."
"Help me? Are you sure?"
"Don't play dumb. Pay back the money. It's not about the money, it's about teaching you a lesson. Today you can still settle things with money if you offend the Bai family, but if you offend someone like Qiao Li, not only will you die without a burial place, but the Feng and Su families will also be implicated."
Finally, after applying the medicine to the man, which was still wet, he held Su Xi's hand and scratched her palm, mouthing two words, "Thank you."
Su Xi pursed her lips, a shallow dimple appearing on her cheek. She said into her phone, "Bai Luwei provoked me first. She faked the fall and slandered me. I was injured too. I'm already being lenient by not demanding compensation from her."
"And it wasn't me who provoked her; she deliberately picked a fight and made things difficult for me. Don't use the victim mentality. Since you think I'm so malicious, don't come looking for me again."
He hung up the phone after saying that.
Feng Jinchen was furious and stopped answering the phone when called again. After thinking for a while, he called the old man directly to complain.
“Grandpa, your grandson also wants harmony in the family. But I can’t take it anymore. The other day, my uncle brazenly hugged Su Xi and made me call him Aunt. Today, he was holding Su Xi in the street and flaunting it. They are openly boyfriend and girlfriend. If this gets out, it will not only be a disgrace to me, but also to the whole family and clan.”
“If they were just sneaking around, I could tolerate it because he's an elder. But my friend has taken photos of them kissing more than once. If this isn't stopped, this scandal can't be kept secret any longer.”
"Absolutely outrageous!" The old man trembled with rage. Ever since Feng Jue risked his life to protect Su Xi's reputation, he knew that his son was beyond redemption.
Unless Su Xi dies.
He thought about it all day but couldn't come up with a good, foolproof plan to make Su Xi disappear without a trace. Now, his grandson's words made him even angrier.
"Okay, don't worry, Grandpa will stand up for you."
After hanging up, he called Feng Jue directly.
Hearing his phone ring, Feng Jue instinctively wanted to turn on speakerphone and have some fun with Su Xi, but when he saw it was the old man, his eyes flickered involuntarily.
"Xiaoxi, I'm going out to answer a phone call."
"Hmm." Noticing the slight flicker in the man's eyes, Su Xi forced herself not to mind. They were at most a couple married for half a month; she had no right to interfere in his private affairs.
Seeing Feng Jue stop under a willow tree, his handsome appearance attracting frequent glances from passersby, Su Xi felt honored.
It was lunchtime, and she slept fully clothed.
Seeing that the woman had fallen asleep, Feng Jue breathed a sigh of relief and answered the phone.
"Feng Jue, you're getting more and more outrageous. Even if Jin Chen is inferior to you in every way, I won't allow you to bully him so brazenly."
I've said it before, any woman in the world is fine, except Su Xi. But you completely ignored me, openly going out with her. Are you trying to drive me crazy?
"Dad, I've said it before, Su Xi is going to live with me, not with you. Why do you insist on stopping her?"
The old man was so angry he roared to the sky. It seemed he no longer needed to hide the truth about the car accident from his son.
