Chapter 326 Crawling into the Sealed Jade Coat
However, Ren Xingheng and Feng Jingnian simultaneously stepped aside to block Su Xi, and the black-clad bodyguards dared not offend these two presidents, so they were hesitant to act rashly.
"Su Xi, if you dared to take responsibility for your actions, I would look at you with more respect. It's pitiful that Su Mo even pleaded for you, saying that you didn't do it on purpose and asking me to treat you with courtesy, but unfortunately you don't deserve it."
If you don't come with me obediently, then I'll have to resort to force.
Ren Xingheng's expression turned cold. "Young Master Ji, the matter hasn't been investigated yet, and you're already bringing people from my side. You're clearly not taking me seriously."
"The matter is already clear. I don't have the time or inclination to ask you stupid questions like proving that I am who I am."
Ji Wuyai had clearly run out of patience and looked only at Su Xi, "Su Mo heard your conversation with Wu Yaoyao in the restroom earlier."
Su Mo racked her brains but still couldn't understand why you wanted to harm her. It was only when I reminded her that she remembered this matter, asking if she had heard or seen anything she shouldn't have.
"Su Xi, isn't this motive sufficient? You have witnesses, physical evidence, and a motive; what else is there to deny? If you refuse to come with me to apologize, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep this secret."
Hearing Ji Wuyai mention the restroom, Su Xi's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, her conversation with Wu Yaoyao had been overheard, and the person who overheard it was none other than Su Mo.
Now Ji Wuyai has found out.
Ji Wuyai had no affection for her whatsoever; in fact, he loathed her and wished he could get rid of her as soon as possible.
She had no doubt that if she refused again, Ji Wuyai would definitely reveal to the public that the child in her belly was Feng Jinchen's.
"This is just your speculation. It won't stand up to scrutiny in court. Besides, what kind of secret could make Su Xi go so far as to harm someone she has no grudge against? You're not making this up, are you? I don't believe Su Xi is that kind of person."
As soon as Ren Xingheng spoke up in defense, Ji Wuyai's face visibly darkened to an extreme.
His thin lips moved slightly, clearly about to reveal the secret.
Su Xi quickly said, "Young Master Ji, I'll go with you... to apologize."
She didn't throw sulfuric acid, but she did splash water on Su Mo, so she should apologize.
She pushed Feng Jingnian aside and stepped forward.
Ren Xingheng moved his lips, but since her husband was mentioned first and it was her own wish, he ultimately said nothing.
Feng Jingnian grabbed Su Xi's wrist. "Xi Xi, I'll handle this."
Su Xi pushed his hand away, "You don't need to worry about my affairs. I know what I'm doing."
Feng Jingnian's expression stiffened for a moment, but he still said, "I'll go with you."
"No need. I trust Young Master Ji won't do anything to me."
Ji Shao smiled and looked at Feng Jingnian, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in married women."
His tone was utterly contemptuous, as if in his eyes Su Xi was nothing more than a pregnant sow.
"Ji Wuyai, you don't think that belittling others will elevate yourself, do you? That only makes you look like a person of low character." Feng Jingnian's face turned pale, and anger stained his handsome face.
"Okay, I take back what I just said." Ji Wuyai said this, but it didn't seem very sincere.
However, Su Xi is indeed somewhat attractive, and damnably, she does resemble Su Mo to some extent. To compare her to a sow is indeed somewhat insulting to Su Mo.
"Xixi, can you do it?"
"I can do it, don't worry." Su Xi lifted her foot to leave.
Feng Jingnian hurriedly said, "Young Master Ren was also present when the incident occurred. As a party involved, if you want to get to the bottom of things, shouldn't Young Master Ren have been there as well?"
Ren Xingheng's words clearly showed his protectiveness towards Su Xi, revealing him to be a gentleman. If he could accompany her, he would feel much more at ease.
Ji Wuyai and Ren Xingheng exchanged a glance, and finally nodded, "Young Master Ren, come whenever you want, so that some people won't say I'm setting up a private court."
He turned and left.
Su Xi didn't even glance at Feng Jingnian and followed directly.
Ren Xingheng raised an eyebrow at Feng Jingnian's pleading look and followed.
Su Xi had only walked a few steps when she noticed Feng Jinchen in the crowd, who had obviously been there for quite some time.
The man's eyes were full of worry and affection, which Su Xi found extremely funny; even looking at them felt like an eyesore.
Despite their worries and concerns for her, they dared not step forward, hiding in a corner untouched by the chandelier, and dared not utter a single word in her defense.
It's utterly ridiculous that such a person claims to be so affectionate.
Su Xi felt nauseous and quickened her pace as she passed Feng Jinchen.
Ren Xingheng watched this unfold and couldn't help but glance into the crowd a few times. His gaze swept over Feng Jinchen, and he paused, a hint of realization flashing in his eyes.
Soon, Su Xi, Ji Wuyai, and Ren Xingheng entered the lounge. The door to the lounge closed immediately, and two rows of bodyguards in black stood outside with their hands at their sides.
Seeing Su Mo sitting on the sofa, her fair legs crossed, and wearing that expensive suit jacket.
Upon seeing Su Mo, Su Xi did not miss the fleeting smugness and scheming in her eyes.
She had just suspected Wu Yaoyao, but now she was almost 80% certain that Su Mo was the one who framed her.
She had taken a sip of that water at one point; it was undoubtedly plain water. She had held the glass the whole time, so it was impossible for someone to have thrown sulfuric acid into it without her knowledge.
Therefore, after ruling out all the impossibilities, there is only one possibility: Su Mo herself smeared sulfuric acid on her clothes.
It has to be said that she really went to great lengths to frame her.
But why? Is it just because they have the same face? After all, they shouldn't have any grudges against each other.
"Young Master Ren, please have a seat."
There were only two long sofas facing each other in the room. Seeing Ren Xingheng sit down, Su Xi also wanted to sit down a distance away.
However, Ji Wuyai spoke in a cold voice.
"Su Xi, kneel down before Su Mo."
Su Xi paused, then looked at him coldly, "Young Master Ji, what do you mean by this?"
"Miss Su Xi, you can understand human language, right? I don't want to repeat myself."
Ji Wuyai lifted his eyelids and gestured to the bodyguard beside him.
The bodyguard immediately came over, grabbed Su Xi's shoulder, and was about to kick her behind the knee, but suddenly stopped.
Because Ji Wuyai made a gesture to stop him.
Su Xi's shoulders were pressed down, and the curve of her stomach was clearly visible.
Ji Wuyai had known for a long time that Su Xi was pregnant, but he didn't take it to heart. Even if she miscarried, the worst that could happen was that he would just have to pay some money.
But now that he could actually see the pregnant belly, he realized that the baby in Su Xi's belly was probably big enough that it could survive even if it was delivered via cesarean section.
Although he is cold-hearted and indifferent, he is not devoid of humanity.
"Su Xi, it's not too late for you to kneel down now. Otherwise, if anything happens to the baby in your belly, it will be your own fault."
Su Xi was pinned down by her shoulders and couldn't turn around. She didn't know what Ren Xingheng, who was sitting behind her, was thinking.
She thought he would plead for her, but nothing happened.
However, she wasn't disappointed. She hadn't intended for Ren Xingheng to come in the first place; she had already prepared herself to face everything on her own.
She looked at Su Mo and said, “Miss Su, Young Master Ji wasn’t there, but you were involved. A waiter bumped into me, and I accidentally spilled the water in my hand. My hand got wet too. You can check the security footage if you don’t believe me, but there’s nothing wrong with my hand.”
Su Mo felt a little wronged, but still generously said, "There's no need to check the surveillance footage. Since I'm fine, I don't want to pursue this matter too much."
"MoMo, you're too kind. It's precisely because you're too kind that others take advantage of you. You don't need to worry about this; I'll take care of it for you." Ji Wuyai couldn't help but speak up, his gaze towards Su Mo filled with affection and heartache, while his brows furrowed coldly when he looked at Su Xi.
They all have the same face, so how can there be such a huge difference in their character?
Su Xi continued, "I don't know how spilled water turned into sulfuric acid, but it still turned into water when it landed on me. However, the water I spilled did land on Miss Su Mo, and I apologize to you. I'm sorry."
“Since you’ve admitted it, then kneel down and apologize.” Ji Wuyai was clearly not satisfied with Su Xi’s perfunctory apology. “If it weren’t for the fact that you and Momo look somewhat alike and that you’re pregnant, it wouldn’t be as simple as kneeling down to apologize.”
The man's eyes were cold, and Su Xi had no doubt that what he said was true.
If it weren't for her face, and if it weren't for her pregnancy, Ji Wuyai might not have pursued this matter today.
Instead, they secretly kidnapped her, set up a private court, and then quietly made her disappear from this world.
"Forget it, Wuya. Su Xi already said it was water that was splashed. There might be some misunderstanding. I guess I'm just unlucky. For the sake of the child, let's just let this go."
Ji Wuyai sneered, "Momo, she wants to disfigure you, she wants to ruin you. Don't be fooled by her pitiful appearance. She's not carrying your child."
Su Mo's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
Ji Wuyai then looked coldly at Su Xi, "Su Xi, since you refuse to kneel down, I will have to have someone help you."
With a single glance from Ji Wuyai, another bodyguard stepped forward. Clearly, they were acting on Ji Wuyai's orders, and out of consideration for Su Xi's unborn child, they refrained from excessive violence.
But Su Xi's knees continued to bend little by little.
Su Xi pursed her lips tightly, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. Looking up, she didn't miss the fleeting, triumphant smile in Su Mo's eyes.
Su Mo appeared to be pleading for her, but in reality, she was clearly stirring up trouble. Heaven knows how Su Mo described the situation to Ji Wuyai while she was away, which made Ji Wuyai, a complete stranger, so disgusted with her.
Just as Su Xi's knees were about to touch the Persian carpet, the door was suddenly kicked open with a bang.
The door panel slammed to the ground.
The noise was so loud it hurt her eardrums. Su Mo got up awkwardly, the door frame almost hitting her instep.
Su Xi's bodyguard was also stunned, and the pressure on her loosened a bit, allowing Su Xi to finally stand up straighter.
When Su Mo saw the person who had arrived, a look of appreciation and amazement flashed in her eyes.
Su Xi's pupils trembled, and she unconsciously lowered her eyes.
Seeing Su Xi being forced to kneel before Su Mo, Feng Juejun's icy expression hardened further.
The overwhelming cold air frosted over everyone's breath.
"President Feng, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. What? Are you acting rashly for a woman, just for such a vicious and venomous woman?"
"Vicious and venomous? Young Master Ji, when did you go blind? Do you want me to lend you some money so you can see an eye doctor?"
"You!" Ji Wuyai was speechless with anger.
"Let go!" Feng Jue said in a deep voice.
The two bodyguards trembled and almost let go of Su Xi's shoulders.
Fortunately, they were carefully selected and professional, and they did not let go unless their master gave the order.
The force applied to his hands actually increased.
Although the man in front of them looked like a demon from hell, making them want to turn around and run away, they knew very well that if they ran away, they would lose such a good job and they would have no place in the bodyguard industry in the future.
A cold glint flashed in Feng Jue's eyes as he stretched out his hand. The two bodyguards stared wide-eyed, wanting to see what the man was holding.
Before they could even see what was happening, they heard two hissing sounds and something sprayed into their eyes.
What followed was an incredibly spicy and earth-shattering event.
The two bodyguards immediately released Su Xi and fell straight to the ground, howling and rolling around.
The area around his eyes was completely red.
"You actually resorted to such despicable means." Ji Wuyai was utterly incredulous.
Feng Jue sneered, "You flatter me."
Ji Wuyai's handsome face stiffened, feeling that he had been subtly insulted.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw Feng Jue brazenly bend down and pick up the woman.
Before Su Xi could react, after a dizzying, weightless sensation, she was lifted up horizontally by the man.
"Put me down." Su Xi struggled continuously.
"Relax, be careful not to upset the baby."
Su Xi stopped abruptly.
"Feng Jue, I'm just asking her to apologize. If you dare take her away, don't blame me for calling the police."
"Go ahead." Feng Jue turned and left.
As Su Xi left the room, she unconsciously turned around and saw a tall, slender, and composed figure sitting on the sofa.
It seemed that Ren Xingheng hadn't moved an inch from the beginning. He just watched helplessly as she was targeted.
Su Xi found it amusing. What was she expecting? He and she were complete strangers; helping her was a favor, not helping her was his right.
Su Xi looked away and then noticed a group of people gathered outside the door. Su Xi instinctively wanted to get down.
A cold, indifferent male voice came from above, "If I were you, would you hide your head? Do you want everyone to know who I'm holding?"
Su Xi paused, then quickly lifted Feng Jue's suit jacket and burrowed inside like an ostrich.
Instantly, the overwhelming scent of sandalwood filled her nostrils, and Su Xi's entire body stiffened abruptly, instinctively wanting to pull her head back.
But I could hear whispers outside, clearly indicating that there were many people surrounding them.
She could only continue to pretend to be dead, buried in the man's arms.
This time, not only was the fragrance of the pool water present, but the aggressive scent of the man's unique hormones also filled her nostrils. Su Xi's heart trembled involuntarily, and her heartbeat began to rise uncontrollably.
She didn't know where the man had gone, and she heard that the noise outside had stopped; it was very quiet.
Su Xi couldn't help but pull open a corner of her suit jacket.
Before she could even see what was happening outside, the man put her into the car.
The man then got in. He spoke coldly to the front, "Drive."
The car then started moving steadily.
Su Xi gripped the door handle tightly. "I want to get off the bus."
Liu Cheng was startled and quickly locked the car door before lowering the partition.
Su Xi couldn't open the car door, so she could only glare coldly at Feng Jue.
The man's profile was beautiful; sunlight streamed in, casting a cold, indifferent glow upon it.
