Chapter 364 Su Xi's child is Feng Jue's
Su Xi has never liked to torture herself.
So angry that her legs went weak and she couldn't walk, she could only call Ling Che, hoping he would take her away.
She couldn't stay in this place for another second.
However--
Before she could even dial the number, a delicate cane suddenly poked her.
In an instant, he snatched her phone from his hand, sending it flying off the table and crashing into the floor-to-ceiling glass with a loud bang before smashing it to the ground. It shattered into pieces, the screen breaking into tiny fragments.
At the same time, a thick, oppressive, dangerous, and tall black shadow enveloped her.
Su Xi looked up and her gaze trembled slightly when she saw who it was.
Ji Wuyai had clearly changed his clothes from head to toe.
He had obviously taken a shower and sprayed on a very nice men's cologne to suppress the scent of Su Xi on him.
Although her hair was already dry, it seemed that she hadn't styled it, as she was rushing to get ready for her.
His short, dry, and lustrous brocade hair accentuated his sunny, clear, and handsome appearance.
He held a delicate, diamond-encrusted cane in his hand. In China, using a cane is a symbol of status, so those who use canes are not necessarily old or weak.
Seeing the cold and violent look in Ji Wuyai's eyes, and the fierce-looking bodyguards behind him, Su Xi's face darkened.
Is this never going to end?
Many onlookers peered around, quickly forming a dense crowd.
You came here because of the smell, right?
Su Xi's expression grew increasingly grim.
"Su Xi, you don't admit to stealing the red diamond? I do have a way to clear your name immediately."
Ji Wuyai's attitude visibly improved; he spoke softly and gently, displaying the demeanor of a gentleman.
But Su Xi knew,
This is just the calm before the storm; he wouldn't be so kind.
She only glanced at him indifferently and didn't say anything.
Seeing that Su Xi ignored him, Ji Wuyai raised an eyebrow, not angry at all. Instead, he elegantly tossed his cane to a bodyguard and then casually inquired about the guests around him.
"Everyone, why don't you check your bags and see if you've lost anything?"
Everyone was stunned. Although they didn't know what Young Master Ji was up to, they did as he said.
The scene instantly erupted into a cacophony of sounds, a cacophony of noises.
Seeing everyone rummaging through their bags and pockets, Ji Wuyai circled his tongue in his mouth, only glancing at Su Xi out of the corner of his eye, but his words were directed at her.
"Didn't you deny stealing the red diamond? Well, if that red diamond was a coincidence, I'll accept it as a coincidence. But if you had other guests' belongings on you, then it can't still be a coincidence, can it?"
Su Xi clenched her fists and furrowed her brows, sensing that something bad was about to happen.
Ji Wuyai casually asked the onlookers, "Well? Did you find anything missing? I'm going to strip her naked in public to find the stolen goods. One might be a coincidence, two might not prove anything, but three or more should be enough to convict her, right? What do you all think?"
Upon hearing Ji Wuyai's words, the scene fell silent for a moment, and then some astute individuals eagerly spoke up.
"One of my diamond-encrusted cufflinks is missing."
"I'm also missing a pair of my collector's edition earrings."
"Me too, me too! My tie clip is gone too. It's studded with blue diamonds. Miss Su, you even stole my personal belongings, could it be that you have a crush on me?"
The rich young man spoke with a straight face and with absolute certainty.
But this rich young man was notorious for his womanizing, especially with beautiful women; he would almost be unable to move when he saw them. Anyone with eyes could tell what he was thinking.
He probably wasn't pretending to lose something; his real intention was to seduce her.
A low chuckle suddenly rippled through the room, all of them casting malicious glances at Su Xi.
So everyone started talking at once, saying things like a pair of underwear or a luxury car that had been lost, or that something had been lost at a previous banquet, and they all pinned it on Su Xi.
Su Xi practically stole a wealthy family's property.
Su Xi was so angry she almost laughed. This was what they called the rich? The so-called upper class? They were all heartless and morally corrupt—it was truly ironic.
However, she wasn't worried about these fabricated charges, nor did she care.
But Ji Wuyai was clearly not joking. His bodyguards quickly surrounded her in a "fan" shape.
He genuinely intended to strip her naked and humiliate her on the spot.
Su Xi was trembling slightly, whether from anger or fear.
She unconsciously looked out the window at the pavilion, and her eyes suddenly darkened.
Feng Jue could have left earlier or later, but of all times, he disappeared. It's hard to say it wasn't intentional.
Does he really hate her that much?
Or was Ji Wuyai sent by him to humiliate him? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
Su Xi tried to call for help, but her phone was broken. A bead of cold sweat immediately appeared on her forehead.
"Miss Su, you saw it?"
A public body search is the only way to prove your innocence. I mean well; I don't want you to be stigmatized as a thief for the rest of your life. If you don't think about yourself, shouldn't you think about the child in your belly?
If you're completely clean, with nothing dirty except your clothes, I might bow and apologize to you in public. Isn't that giving you enough face?
Su Xi stared coldly at the frivolous young master in front of her, her lips trembling slightly, "You dare!"
This man keeps saying he's doing it for her own good, but he's all talk and no action. He bullied her, a weak woman, in broad daylight, and then laughed so arrogantly and wickedly—he has no shame whatsoever.
She certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to say these things aloud, lest she anger the man.
Ji Wuyai looked down at the woman with a leisurely air, catching the subtle glint in her eyes.
Anyone with a brain knows her insults are incredibly vulgar.
He didn't have time to waste with this thief, so he simply waved his hand.
"Go strip them!"
"You dare!" Su Xi's voice trembled.
"Ji Wuyai, does your country, Z, have no laws? No justice?"
Ji Wuyai sneered, "In Z country, the value of that red diamond is enough for you to eat a fried peanut. Just stripping and searching you is already my mercy."
The bodyguards in black had already surrounded her, almost completely enveloping Su Xi.
The men were all tall and strong, which made Su Xi appear petite and delicate.
Su Xi hugged her arms and hid in a corner.
She truly didn't expect Ji Wuyai to be serious, and she was even more surprised that Z country was a lawless land, a place where these noble young masters held absolute power.
She was too foolish and naive.
"Ji Wuyai, don't forget that I am Feng Jingnian's wife and Feng Jue's cousin-in-law. If any of you dare to lay a finger on me, you should be prepared to face the consequences."
Ji Wuyai pinched his chin, his eyes devoid of any pity or affection, only coldness and sternness, his tone carrying obvious sarcasm and mockery.
"Your belly is so big now, you don't still think you're an innocent little girl, do you?"
As he spoke, a hint of pity appeared in his eyes, "You really know nothing about men. A thief like you, with your dirty hands and no remorse, being stripped and searched in public, if Feng Jingnian still wants you, I'll write my surname backwards."
As for Feng Jue, you're not even good enough for Feng Jingnian, let alone him. Don't blame me for being blunt, but apart from your face, you're utterly useless.
However, you do have one last thing to rely on: who is the father of the child in your belly?
According to my investigation, Feng Jingnian is definitely not him. I don't care about the others. Unless the father of the child in your belly is Feng Jue, I won't pursue this matter today.
But do you think it's possible? Do you all think it's possible? Hahaha.
The onlookers burst into laughter.
Su Xi's face turned pale instantly.
His eyes turned cold.
Is the gap between her and Feng Jue really that big? It's as if she and Feng Jue are a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung, while Feng Jue is the beautiful flower.
Ji Wuyai finished laughing, his fair fingers twirling his chin with interest, and then he spoke again.
"Don't say I'm bullying you."
I'll let you go as long as you admit you stole the red diamond.
how? "
Su Xi's pupils trembled, and her fingers clenched so tightly they turned blue and white.
Admitting to this would be a stain on one's reputation for life.
She was fine with it, but she didn't want the baby in her belly to be unable to hold its head up for the rest of its life.
She bit her lip hard and glared fiercely at Ji Wuyai.
"Ji Wuyai, does Miss Su Mo know that you are so disrespectful to women?"
Demeaning and insulting others does not elevate your own worth; on the contrary, it only demonstrates your low character.
Even if you simp for the rest of your life, you'll never catch Miss Su Mo's eye.
Although Ji Wuyai is ruthless and heartless, he usually speaks and acts in a carefree and jovial manner, as if he is easy to talk to, yet also unreliable.
But Su Xi's words immediately touched a raw nerve. To be precise, they set his sore spot on, teasing him about it.
Ji Wuyai's face instantly darkened. The surrounding temperature plummeted several degrees.
Su Xi was about to say something when a sudden blast of icy cold air swept over her, instantly freezing her body. Her lips trembled, but she couldn't utter a word.
The overwhelming murderous aura made her palms sweat.
She had no doubt that if it weren't for the public setting and the presence of so many guests, this place would have been her final resting place.
"What are you waiting for? Drag it!"
The bodyguards in black immediately charged in recklessly.
"You dare!" Su Xi's voice was trembling with fear.
She wasn't afraid of death or shame. But she was afraid of implicating her child and making him a laughingstock in the future.
She absolutely will not allow it.
A strong, iron-like hand gripped her shoulder, so powerful that it felt as if her shoulder blade was about to shatter.
Before the tug-of-war even began, the force of that grab on the shoulder caused the buttons on her collar to pop open with a "rip."
Her fair collarbone was revealed.
Su Xi gasped in surprise. She watched as a bronze hand, the size of a futon, reached towards her collar.
“…Stop! I’ll talk,” Su Xi closed her eyes, using almost all her strength to utter the words she never wanted to say.
"The father of the child in my belly is Feng Jue."
The moment those words were spoken, a loud shout rang out.
"Stop! All of you, stop!"
The voice was familiar. But Su Xi was on edge and couldn't immediately recognize who it was.
Immediately afterward, several messy black figures moved about, seemingly several bodyguards in black being forcefully shoved aside.
She was protected by a tall and imposing figure behind her.
Before she could react, a suit jacket still warm from her body was placed on her shoulders.
Upon recognizing Ling Che, Su Xi was stunned, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Ignoring the difference between men and women, she did not remove the suit jacket she was wearing.
The moment she pulled her suit jacket shut, she realized her fingers were trembling and almost out of control.
"Ling Che, why are you only arriving now?"
Although she had repeatedly forbidden Feng Jingnian from sending anyone to follow her, she knew he would definitely do so.
Feng Jingnian did not disappoint her.
On the contrary, Feng Jue truly hated her to the core. If it weren't for his personal instruction, Liu Cheng would have rushed to save her immediately. Now...
After what happened today, she has completely given up on Feng Jue.
She and Liu Cheng will become like strangers from now on.
It's all over now, and there's no going back.
Ling Che looked apologetic. "I'm sorry, Miss Su, I was held up by something for a moment."
He clearly hadn't expected that such a serious incident would occur in such a short time, almost leading to an irreversible situation.
His handsome face was alternating between deathly pale and flushed red with lingering fear.
Even his breathing became a little rapid.
He turned around and stared coldly at Ji Wuyai, "Young Master Ji, it seems that our President Feng has no weight in your eyes at all. In that case, you should go back and make preparations immediately, and the cooperation between our two families will come to an end here."
Ji Wuyai didn't take the matter to heart at all, and scoffed.
"You, a mere assistant, can make decisions for the boss? Don't think that just because you have a CEO's face you can spout domineering CEO quotes. I'm afraid you're not up to the task of that honor."
Ling Che gave a cold laugh and remained silent.
He could see how much the big boss cared about Miss Su.
He had already warned him, but Ji Wuyai didn't take it seriously at all. When the contract was terminated and he suffered heavy losses, he realized he had no regrets.
Ji Wuyai was probably in a good mood, which is why he condescended to say a few words to a mere assistant.
However, after saying that, he lost all interest and looked at Su Xi, the corners of his mouth slowly curving up, making the dimples on his cheeks even more obvious.
"Su Xi, what did you just say? Did I hear that right? You said the father of the child in your belly is Feng Jue?"
For a moment, not only Ji Wuyai looked mocking, but the onlookers also looked mocking, and even the moon and stars outside the window seemed to be looking at Su Xi with mockery.
Su Xi's face paled slightly, her nails digging into her fingertips. Was this really so absurd? Was she really so unworthy?
However, she only shouted that sentence in a moment of desperation, just to save herself.
She didn't want her unborn child to have a cold-blooded and ruthless father like Feng Jue.
However, if Ji Wuyai hadn't held back, Ling Che would never have been able to drive away that group of bodyguards.
so,
She hasn't truly escaped yet and still needs Feng Jue as a shield.
If Feng Jue were to return and expose her lies on the spot, she would truly lose all face, including that of her ancestors for eighteen generations.
Seeing Su Xi's guilty and struggling appearance, Ji Wuyai sneered coldly.
"What? You're too scared to say it?"
Su Xi bit her lower lip, looking at Ling Che with a conflicted expression.
Ling Che happened to look over as well, and leaned down to whisper something in her ear.
After speaking, he immediately straightened up and maintained the proper distance.
Upon hearing something, Su Xi's pupils suddenly flashed, clearly unable to believe it was true.
But when she met Ling Che's firm and clear eyes, she still chose to believe him.
