Chapter 74 So What If You Covet It?
Upon seeing Feng Jue, Gong Shaofan's imposing aura suddenly weakened, and Xia Wanqing almost held her breath, feeling a bad premonition.
Su Xi pursed her lower lip and looked down at her toes.
The man paused on Feng Jinchen's hand, which was gripping the woman's bulging veins tightly. He raised his eyes to stare at the man, his voice calm yet carrying a chilling ferocity, "Let go."
Feng Jinchen released his grip and saw a bright red mark on the woman's wrist. His eyes flickered.
"Mr. Gong, you really have some nerve. On our Feng family's turf, you slept with a Feng family employee and then made a Feng family woman apologize. Where do you get the nerve?"
With each word Feng Jue uttered, Gong Shaofan's lips twitched. If he had known this devil would come, he should have known better than to back down and leave earlier; wouldn't everything have been fine then?
Noticing the man's sharp gaze fixed on her, Xia Wanqing's body involuntarily tensed and buckled.
"Miss Xia, what do you suggest we do? You don't think you can get away with kneeling down and apologizing, do you? Your knees aren't worth that much."
"Mr. Feng... I really know I was wrong. And it really wasn't me who ordered them; I was forced into it."
Lai Mengqi, who was lying on the ground in a daze, suddenly remembered something when she heard this. Her hands trembled as she took out her phone and turned on the recording. "Xia Wanqing, I knew all along that you would use me as a pawn. Listen to it yourself."
A woman's sharp and malicious voice came from the phone, "Hahaha, not bad, go ahead and do it, I'll take care of it if anything goes wrong."
Gong Shaofan suddenly looked at Xia Wanqing. How could a woman who usually spoke softly and gently make such a hawk-like laugh?
"Brother Shaofan, I drank too much and that's why I acted that way because I was thinking about sad things. Besides, I was maliciously manipulated by someone. You have to believe me."
Ye Qingqian fanned herself with disdain, "That babyish voice really has a bit of a 'white lotus' flavor."
Gong Shaofan was completely charmed by that sweet, coquettish voice, his protective instincts surging. "President Feng, for my sake..."
"You've lost face." With a single glance from Feng Jue, several bodyguards rushed over and ripped Xia Wanqing off the man.
Feng Jue simply uttered a single, cold word: "Strip."
"No! Brother Shao Fan, save me!" Xia Wanqing's scalp tingled with fear, her face contorted with terror.
Gong Shaofan rushed over to grab the bed sheet, but was blocked by the bodyguards.
"President Feng, Wanqing is my woman, don't go too far."
"Excessive? It's already merciful of me not to find her a man on the spot. You should be glad Su Xi is alright, otherwise the entire Gong family would have been buried with her."
Gong Shaofan's eyes widened in fury. "You've gone too far!"
Ye Qingqian scoffed, "How is this going too far? Compared to your woman's viciousness, President Feng's actions are less than one ten-thousandth. Or do you want Xia Wanqing to also drink that aphrodisiac, find her a man, and then have the media and a hundred or so people watch her slap her butt before you're satisfied?"
Somewhat guilty, Gong Shaofan avoided Ye Qingqian's gaze, his face full of impatience, "Young Master Feng, Su Xi, say something!"
Su Xi remained expressionless, showing no intention of pleading. If she hadn't been lucky enough to discover something amiss, she would be the one lying in bed right now.
Feng Jinchen hurriedly said, "Uncle, what you're doing is probably inappropriate. If word gets out, it will have a bad impact on the Feng family."
"One is a deliberate frame-up, the other is a calculated counterattack. Who will be negatively affected? He's not even afraid of the small Gong family, so what are you afraid of? If the president is so indecisive, won't everyone dare to cause trouble at the company's anniversary celebration in the future? You're simply useless."
Feng Jinchen's face darkened instantly, his eyes blazing with fury, but the words of rebuttal stuck in his throat.
He was completely oblivious to the shimmering starlight in Bai Luwei's eyes as she looked at Feng Jue.
This man is good; he has successfully caught her attention.
Seeing that reasoning with him was futile, Gong Shaofan struggled to rush over and grab the person, but was held down firmly by the bodyguards.
"Brother Shao Fan, save me! Ah, help me, cousin, please save me, ah—"
Watching helplessly as his woman was stripped naked, Gong Shaofan's handsome face twisted into a ferocious expression, with veins bulging on his face.
The woman was held down and displayed for a full five minutes before Feng Jue nodded slightly, and only then did the bodyguard release her.
"Wanqing!" Gong Shaofan rushed over with a heart-wrenching cry, wrapped the woman in a sheet, and held her tightly in his arms.
"This matter won't end here. We'll see." Gong Shaofan's words were almost dripping with blood, showing how furious he was.
After watching the excitement, the group left the room and came to the lobby.
"Hahaha, this trip was definitely worthwhile. I would have regretted it for a year if I had missed it." Xiao Feng clapped his hands and laughed, giving Feng Jue a thumbs up. "You're a real man."
As he passed Feng Jinchen, he flipped his thumb downwards and said, "You, woman." Then he swaggered away, leaving behind a string of hearty laughs.
Feng Jinchen was furious.
"Uncle, thank you." Su Xi saw that Feng Jue was alone and quickly went over to him.
"Why thank me? I'm only doing this for the Feng family." The man glanced at the woman, then walked past her and left.
Su Xi stood still, unconsciously gripping the hem of her dress.
A woman walked up behind her, teasingly saying, "Su Xi, your uncle seems to treat you better than your man. Could it be that there's something going on here..."
Seeing that it was Bai Luwei, Su Xi suppressed her disappointment. "My uncle is doing this for the sake of the Feng family's reputation. If I weren't a member of the Feng family, he wouldn't care."
"Really? I don't believe it."
Ignoring the woman's suspicions, Su Xi left directly. As they brushed past each other, she tossed out a sentence, "If you don't believe me, go ask your uncle. Why are you asking me?"
Bai Luwei crossed her arms, gave a soft hum, and smiled playfully on her beautiful face.
Su Xi had just sat down when she received a call from Attorney Qian. "Ms. Su, we've found someone who knows about your mother's car accident, named Li Yinghui. He disappeared not long after the accident, and we're still investigating his whereabouts."
"Okay. Let me know as soon as you find out." Su Xi's grip on her phone tightened. This incident further confirmed that there was indeed something fishy about her mother's situation.
Why? What was the reason? Su Xi felt her heart, which had finally healed, crack open again, the wound spreading all over her body.
Noticing a malicious gaze, Su Xi looked up and saw Gong Shaofan, dressed in a suit and tie, carrying Xia Wanqing out of the banquet hall. The man's eyes seemed to want to strip her naked on the spot.
Everyone treated her like an easy target. Su Xi took out her phone, preparing to meet with the president of Colorful Technology to discuss investing in them. Being strong herself was the only true path to success.
"Uncle, you've coveted my wife time and time again. Do you think everyone else is blind and heartless?"
"You, the president, are incompetent to allow your employees to turn your company's anniversary celebration into such a huge scandal. And you still have the nerve to question me?"
Feng Jinchen choked, "I'm talking about how you coveted my wife."
"So what if you covet it?"
“You…” Feng Jinchen was speechless with anger.
