Chapter 40 Tampering
Seeing the black-clad bodyguards standing at the door, Wu Qingluan could only raise her hand and, under the man's piercing gaze, slap herself repeatedly across the face.
After fifty strokes, blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth, her lips were swollen, and she was so tired and in so much pain that she was almost collapsing.
Feng Jinchen stood up, slowly straightened his suit, and without even glancing at the woman on the ground, strode away.
Her fingernails dug deep into her flesh. Wu Qingluan stared intently at the tall, imposing back of the noble and elegant man until it disappeared from sight. Suddenly, her face turned crazed and vicious.
She will never let Su Xi, that bitch, get away with it.
Becoming that man's woman became her life goal from then on.
"Sister Wu, why are you wearing a mask?" Ji Feifei asked cautiously, her face full of concern and ingratiation.
"I accidentally got stung by a wasp." Wu Qingluan's expression was icy, and her tone was commanding. "Don't leave after get off work. I'll take you somewhere."
Seeing that Wu Qingluan didn't intend to say anything more, Ji Feifei pursed her lips and quickly nodded emphatically, "I understand, Sister Wu."
After getting off work, Su Xi walked home, tidied up briefly, and then got into the SUV.
Ye Qingqian called early in the morning to inquire about her situation and arranged to have dinner together.
She didn't notice that the moment her car started, another car also started at the same time, following closely behind at a short distance.
After driving all the way to the outskirts and parking the car in a poplar grove, Su Xi walked to the farmhouse.
In the car not far away, Wu Qingluan stared maliciously at Su Xi's back and smiled.
The first time they followed her, they discovered that Su Xi had driven away and parked her car in a wooded area without surveillance cameras. It was as if even God was on her side.
"Didn't you want revenge? Everything is ready, and the east wind has come."
Ji Feifei, sitting in the passenger seat, twisted her fingers nervously. "Sister Wu, what do you want me to do?"
Wu Qingluan whispered something in the woman's ear, and Ji Feifei's eyes widened in horror. Her face turned pale instantly, and she shrank back. "Sister Wu, this might not be a good idea, right? I dare not."
She finally understood why Wu Qingluan had made her do these past few days' worth of homework.
"Don't worry, I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong, and as long as you do as I say, no one will find out."
Seeing that Ji Feifei was still hesitating, Wu Qingluan used a combination of empty promises and threats, and Ji Feifei was completely fooled. She gritted her teeth and nodded, her wavering eyes becoming firm.
The woman got out of the car and weaved through the dense poplar grove, quickly finding Su Xi's car. She put on gloves, took out some tools from her bag, and quickly worked under the car.
A moment later, Ji Feifei finally straightened up, wiped the cold sweat from her face, and left as if nothing had happened.
After picking up Ji Feifei, Wu Qingluan parked the car in a well-hidden spot with an excellent view, wanting to witness Su Xi's retribution firsthand.
Ye Qingqian took a taxi directly from the airport to the farmhouse. When she saw Su Xi, she immediately got up to greet her, pulled Su Xi to sit down, her big, round eyes sparkling with starlight, and her face was filled with all sorts of expressions, from a motherly smile to a mother's gratified smile. It was quite a sight.
Su Xi's eyes widened, looking completely bewildered.
"Haha, this is incredible! I just called your uncle on a whim, and I didn't expect him to agree so readily. He even sounded flustered, which showed how worried he was about you."
As she spoke, Ye Qingqian tilted her head and stared into Su Xi's eyes, posing the probing question, "He doesn't actually like you, does he? Did you two do anything last night?"
Su Xi was speechless, and rolled her eyes listlessly. "That's not true. Please don't try to play matchmaker anymore. He's my uncle. Isn't it normal for him to care about me when my life is in danger?"
"Really? I don't believe it."
Su Xi sighed and handed the menu to the woman. "Let's order."
After ordering, Su Xi took out a jewelry box. "Can you help me check if this is real or fake?"
Unable to uncover any gossip about Su Xi and Feng Jue, the woman was somewhat uninterested, but upon seeing the Patek Philippe watch, she immediately perked up.
"Goodness, Feng Jinchen bought this? That man is getting more and more willing to spend money on you. It's a pity that belated affection is cheaper than grass."
How much can it sell for?
Ye Qingqian was admiring the watch when she heard this and looked shocked. "It's so beautiful, you're willing to sell it?"
"I don't like jewelry. Wearing it feels like a shackle, it's uncomfortable. I'll give it to you if you like."
"No, no, I wouldn't dare accept it even if you gave it to me. I'll have someone inside sell this watch; it should fetch around 32 million."
"Oh." Su Xi was surprised. "Okay, then I'll leave it with you. It might help me out sometime."
She had noticed a small AI company called Color Technology when she was looking for a job online, and thought it had good prospects. She plans to invest 30 million yuan in it.
She lacked business acumen and couldn't guarantee making money. But since the money belonged to Feng Jinchen, it was essentially a risk-free investment, so she boldly invested. If she made the right choice, she could earn money passively in the future, serving as a safety net.
As Su Xi pondered this, she looked up and saw a man and a woman entering the room, her pupils involuntarily dilating.
Ye Qingqian turned her head suspiciously, her face instantly darkening. She stood up and was about to rush over to argue, but Su Xi stopped her.
"Never mind, that woman is Feng Jinchen's secretary, Xiang Ting. They must be talking about work."
Ye Qingqian watched the two people go up to the private room on the second floor. The moment the door opened, there were quite a few men and women inside, indicating that they were indeed attending a social event.
Feng Jinchen kept his eyes straight ahead the entire time, remaining aloof and unapproachable, and didn't interact with his secretary once.
On the other hand, Xiang Ting couldn't hide her surprise and sweetness in her eyes and brows. She could even swoon over the man's back and the back of his head. She was definitely a young girl in love, and it was obvious that she had ulterior motives towards Feng Jinchen.
“That Xiang Ting is dishonest; you need to teach her a lesson.”
Su Xi shook her head. "I can't be bothered with that. Let's eat."
Xiang Ting's eyes were practically overflowing with adoration. She didn't believe Feng Jinchen couldn't see it, but he still brought her along to social events. Wasn't that giving a woman a chance?
Perhaps today's project was handled by Xiang Ting, so I had to bring her along. Such social obligations are unavoidable.
In the past, she would have firmly believed that Feng Jinchen would remain unmoved even with a woman in his arms, and that he would even wipe his hands with disinfectant wipes until they bled if a woman accidentally touched his fingers.
But now, Su Xi has no doubt that even if Feng Jinchen has no feelings for Xiang Ting, as long as he gets drunk again, as long as Xiang Ting uses any means to seduce him, as long as the timing is right, he will definitely betray her again.
Fortunately, her mindset has changed, and now she even has a bit of a spectator's mentality.
"I never expected to run into Feng Jinchen while just having a casual meal. I've noticed that you and this uncle and nephew are quite destined for each other. Your relationship with your uncle is a good one, while your relationship with him is a bad one."
Ye Qingqian teased, glancing disdainfully upstairs as she spoke. She was growing increasingly disliked Feng Jinchen and increasingly favoring Feng Jue.
"What good or bad fate? I don't want any kind of fate." For a woman, what can heal you is becoming more beautiful, having money, or eating delicious food, but definitely not a man.
After lunch, the two walked to the poplar grove to get their car.
Upon seeing Su Xi, Wu Qingluan, who had been eagerly waiting, clenched her fist in excitement.
Ji Feifei's eyes were filled with terror.
