Chapter 322 Call her Little Aunt
Fu Ruyan pouted, "What a coincidence, you've actually found the woman you've been longing for. But brother, you're not serious, are you? Are you really interested in this kind of woman?"
Aside from being somewhat pretty, she's otherwise quite ordinary. What exactly do you see in her?
Fu Rufeng smiled mysteriously, "Take a closer look and see who she resembles."
Upon hearing this, Fu Ruyan moved closer, her eyes narrowing. After looking for a long time, she still couldn't make out anything.
Just as she was getting bored and was about to give up, she clearly noticed something, and her eyes widened instantly.
For some unknown reason, her pupils suddenly trembled.
"Brother, I've figured it out. You mean she looks... looks like..."
"That's right, she looks like Mo Qian. I've also investigated, and her birth date and hospital are the same as those of the Mo family's long-lost daughter."
Now that Wu Yaoyao is a fake heiress, then she…
Fu Rufeng smiled; his smile was very healing, capable of transporting people into a sky full of stars.
His long, slender fingers, as delicate as scallions and bamboo, tapped rhythmically on the table with apparent interest, his voice deep and soothing.
"As for whether she has the rose birthmark, I will examine her myself."
Fu Ruyan looked at her brother, then at the photos on her phone, and didn't say anything, but simply raised an eyebrow, which could be considered as an expression of agreement.
If Su Xi is indeed the true daughter of the Mo family, then she would be barely qualified to be her sister-in-law.
Su Xi really got incredibly lucky.
What they didn't know was that what they saw was actually Su Mo.
Fu Rufeng made a phone call: "Su Xi is in Z country. Tell me her exact location within one day."
The next day, instead of returning to China immediately, Grandma Feng and her entourage went to Feng Jingnian's villa.
The old lady is getting on in years, and since she finally gets to travel abroad, she naturally wants to visit Feng Jingnian.
"Xixi, Grandma Feng is here."
Su Xi wasn't surprised. The old lady had practically watched Feng Jingnian grow up, so she had some affection for him. She was naturally there for him. As for her…
Now that Old Madam Feng has accepted Wu Yaoyao, she must have long forgotten about her.
However, seeing Feng Jingnian's hesitant expression, Su Xi knew things weren't that simple, so she took the initiative to speak.
"Is Feng Jue here too?"
"no."
For some reason, Su Xi's eyes flickered involuntarily, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on her face. She had guessed wrong.
“It’s Feng Jinchen, and Wu Yaoyao is here too.” Feng Jingnian said angrily, “It’s one thing for the old lady to come, but these two are really making this place dirty.”
Su Xi pursed her lips. "Social interactions are unavoidable. They're not here to see me, so I'll avoid them."
"good."
Soon, a stretched Lincoln pulled up on the lawn in front of the villa. Grandma Feng, Feng Jinchen, and Wu Yaoyao got out of the car.
Feng Jingnian went out to greet her, smiling as he helped the old lady up, "Auntie."
"Jingnian, you seem to have lost weight." Grandma Feng patted Feng Jingnian's hand. "But you're fairer and more handsome."
Feng Jingnian chuckled, met Feng Jinchen's gaze, and nodded slightly as a greeting.
As for Wu Yaoyao, he treated her like air.
Wu Yaoyao was immediately annoyed. She was, after all, Feng Jinchen's wife, a guest from afar, and this person had absolutely no manners.
Being handsome is a valid reason.
She gave Feng Jinchen a complaining look, and Feng Jinchen patted her back reassuringly and said in a low voice, "He is, after all, your uncle and an elder, don't take it to heart."
Wu Yaoyao went to the capital and somehow made connections with some powerful figures, who then introduced her to several large orders and major clients.
He still needed to rely on Wu Yaoyao's connections, so he still doted on her quite a bit.
Wu Yaoyao pouted and raised her chin. "Where's Su Xi? Why didn't she come to greet us?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Jinchen's smile froze for a moment.
He really wanted to see Su Xi today, but what would he say when he did? They had both entered the grave of marriage, and he would have to call her "little aunt," even though they were related by marriage. He felt it was too much to ask.
However, the old lady still asked directly, "Where's Xixi? I haven't seen her."
Feng Jingnian's smile immediately became somewhat forced. "Xixi... is resting in her room and it's inconvenient for her to receive guests."
Old Mrs. Feng was shrewd and quickly understood that Su Xi didn't want to see Feng Jinchen and Wu Yaoyao, and she expressed her understanding.
The group entered the house, and the servants served tea. Feng Jingnian also asked about the tastes and preferences of the group and instructed the servants to prepare lunch.
Looking at the grand decor of the villa, the magnificent gardens along the way, and Feng Jingnian's elegant and gentle demeanor, Wu Yaoyao couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Su Xi is really lucky; she managed to marry so well even with a child in tow.
Moreover, Feng Jingnian clearly belongs to the type who dotes on his wife; he would absolutely spoil Su Xi rotten.
Looking at the hot-tempered Feng Jinchen, Wu Yaoyao felt increasingly resentful.
"Uncle, you look pale and weak."
Su Xi is really something else, isn't she a devil who squeezes people dry?
Jinchen, you also have a say in this, don't you think?
Wu Yaoyao said it with a smile, appearing carefree and innocent.
But the moment her words fell, a heavy silence descended upon the living room. The air seemed to grow thin.
The old woman's eyes were filled with hatred, as if she wanted to kill her; her disdain and disgust were practically written all over her face.
Feng Jingnian went about her business as if her words were nothing.
Feng Jinchen's face was extremely ugly, and he exuded coldness as if it were free. His voice was sinister, "Wu Yaoyao, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
Wu Yaoyao pouted and remained silent. She was indignant; was it really so bad to speak the truth these days?
What she said was clearly true.
However, if Feng Jingnian can take on Feng Jinchen's woman, then it's not impossible for Feng Jue to accept her as well.
Thinking about such a promising future, Wu Yaoyao's sour feelings gradually dissipated.
"Grandma, why didn't my cousin come?" Feng Jingnian asked casually. Su Xi was surprised that Feng Jue wasn't there, and he was just as surprised.
He was asking on behalf of Su Xi.
"Him? Don't even mention him. I originally asked him to come with me. I know you guys find those two annoying. But your cousin said he was busy, I don't know what. So I had to send those two along."
Feng Jingnian nodded, said "Oh," and remained expressionless.
Feng Jinchen and Wu Yaoyao's faces both stiffened. So they were the backup options, or rather, the ones who were disliked? And to be bluntly told off like that to their faces—didn't they have any pride?
Forget it, getting sick from anger is no substitute for someone else. Wu Yaoyao pretended not to hear, but in her heart, she harbored a deep resentment towards the old woman.
Feng Jinchen watched as the servants brought out various delicacies made from top-quality ingredients to the table, and asked a seemingly casual question.
"Isn't Su Xi coming for dinner?"
The old lady glared at him. "What Su Xi? That's your aunt. How rude of you."
Feng Jinchen chuckled dryly, "We're all family, we don't care about those formalities."
When Wu Yaoyao heard Feng Jinchen finally mention Su Xi after holding back for so long, her face turned a little green.
She, the legal wife, was sitting comfortably to the side, while he was preoccupied with that third party, that mistress, that bitch. Did he even have any regard for her?
If the child in her womb weren't Feng Jinchen's, she would definitely confront him today. But for now, she'll let it go; she only wanted to use him as a stepping stone to climb up to Feng Jue.
She was magnanimous and let it go.
Moreover, she needed Su Xi to do her a big favor, and she really wanted to see her.
Unexpectedly, this woman was like a turtle hiding in its shell, refusing to show herself.
Thinking this, Wu Yaoyao rolled her eyes smugly. Su Xi really was useless; even though she married a high-quality man, he was still a hopeless case.
It's a real waste of talent for such a good-for-nothing like her to marry Feng Jingnian.
The old lady looked at the table full of food, some of which Su Xi liked very much, and asked, "Jingnian, isn't Xixi going to eat?"
"Don't worry, Grandma, she has her own little kitchen."
"Okay, then I'm relieved." The old lady knew that there were people Su Xi didn't want to see here, so she didn't say anything more.
After the meal, the old lady sent Feng Jinchen and Wu Yaoyao to the yard to digest their food, while she stayed behind alone.
Looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows, seeing that the two men had already gone far away, the old lady sighed, "Jingnian, I came here to see Su Xi. I'm all alone, surely she won't disappear?"
Feng Jingnian hesitated for a moment, "What does your aunt want with her?"
“I have my own things to do, you don’t need to know. You call her, and I’ll talk to her.”
“…Okay.” Feng Jingnian got up, walked to the French windows, and called Su Xi.
Su Xi was reading a book in a hammock under the wisteria trellis on the rooftop when she saw Feng Jingnian's call and immediately answered it.
"Xixi, the old lady wants to see you. She's alone; Feng Jinchen and Wu Yaoyao have gone out. I think she has something to say to you."
"You can see me if you want, or I'll help you refuse."
Su Xi fell silent for a moment. The old lady had been very kind to her before, and now that she had traveled all the way to Z country and to her home, it was already unreasonable for her to avoid seeing her. Now that all irrelevant people had been cleared out, it would be unreasonable for her to still refuse to see her.
She nodded. "Okay."
Soon, Su Xi came downstairs. Feng Jingnian smiled and nodded at her, then walked out of the villa and took a stroll at the entrance.
Meanwhile, keep an eye on Wu Yaoyao and Feng Jinchen, who each have their own ulterior motives, to make sure they don't come any closer.
"grandmother."
When the old lady saw Su Xi, she lovingly patted her head and then her belly before smiling and saying, "Silly child, you should call me auntie now."
Su Xi moved her lips, but before she could speak, the old lady shook her head again, "Call me Grandma if you want, there are no outsiders here anyway."
Su Xi smiled and said, "Okay."
Her marriage to Feng Jingnian was merely based on an agreement, and there was no need for her to change her mind.
She treats Feng Jingnian like a younger brother, and believes that he now only sees her as an older sister.
The old lady said some words of concern, and finally took Su Xi's hand and patted the back of her hand, "Xi Xi, Grandma came today because there are two things she wants to ask you."
"What?"
The old lady looked out the window and saw that all three of them were safe and sound outside before she spoke, "Grandma regrets separating you and Feng Jue back then."
Now that Feng Jue has become an ascetic monk devoid of joy and sorrow, and will likely live out his days alone, she does indeed have some regrets.
Although Su Xi is unsuitable in many ways and is indeed far from being a good match for her youngest son, it is still much better than her son living a lonely life.
She paused for a moment and then asked, "I know you still have feelings for A-Jue. Feelings can't just change overnight, so why did you suddenly marry Feng Jingnian?"
Su Xi's eyelashes trembled.
The old lady kept a close eye on her expression, not missing the subtle changes in her face, and said with certainty, "There must be some compelling reason, right?"
Su Xi quickly and firmly shook her head, "Jing Nian may not be a good dating partner, but he is a good marriage partner, suitable for a long-term relationship. He will treat me well, he won't treat me badly, and he won't indirectly upset or harm me. I am willing to marry him."
Seeing that Su Xi didn't seem to be lying, the old lady narrowed her eyes slightly. A bitter smile also appeared on her lips.
"Alright," the old lady asked her second question, her voice very soft, as if deliberately guarding against others.
"Xixi, is the child in your belly Feng Jinchen's?"
Upon hearing this, Su Xi paused. Despite having mentally prepared herself, she still almost lost her composure.
"Grandma, what do you mean? If it's that scumbag's child, I'd rather have an abortion."
The old lady stared intently at Su Xi, not missing a single expression on her face. "If it were Feng Jingnian, then you would be committing adultery. You're not that kind of person."
Su Xi almost burst out laughing. "Grandma, even honest people can change when pushed to the limit. Wu Yaoyao has been with Feng Jinchen for over two years. If they hadn't been deliberately using contraception, their child would be old enough to run errands by now. I also know he's been cheating on me for over two years, so why can't I fight back?"
The old lady knew that Feng Jinchen was in the wrong. Now that Feng Jinchen had even married his mistress, she was still bringing her mistress to disturb her peaceful life. It was indeed wrong of her.
She hadn't thought things through.
"Okay. Xixi, Grandma should come alone today."
Su Xi smiled and shook her head, "Grandma has been disappointed by the child's situation."
"It's alright, it's alright, Feng Jinchen deserves it."
The old lady had something to do later. She stood up, then suddenly remembered something and turned back to ask, "Why is it Feng Jingnian's? Why not Feng Jue's?"
Feng Jinchen is indeed a scumbag. If Su Xi were to choose a man, it should be Feng Jue.
Feng Jue is more outstanding than Feng Jingnian, and Feng Jingnian spends almost all his time abroad, returning to China only a handful of times. Therefore…
Before the old lady could figure it out, Su Xi said, "Jing Nian and I have known each other since childhood, so we naturally keep in touch privately and won't let anyone know. As for Feng Jue, I only consider him my uncle, and our interactions have never been very pleasant, so..."
Hearing this, the old lady shook her head with a wry smile. It seemed she hadn't guessed wrong; this relationship had always been one-sided, with her son being the one who was infatuated.
Su Xi might have had moments of slight emotion, but she ruthlessly suppressed them.
It was her fault.
I recently heard that Su Mo from Huangtiantian Group looks somewhat like Su Xi, which might help soothe the wounds in my son's heart.
She will try her best to bring the two of them together.
Su Xi wanted to see the old lady out when, through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, she saw a tall and handsome figure walking straight towards her.
He came against the light.
Her whole person seemed to be coated with a layer of shimmering gold light, and every step she took seemed to have been measured, exuding the utmost nobility and elegance.
Su Xi paused, stunned on the spot.
