Chapter 88 Sensing Something's Wrong
"Su Xi, think about what you did to offend Feng Jinchen again, and quickly find a way to make amends. You must beg your husband, cry, make a scene, and even threaten suicide, at least leave our family a way to survive."
Her arm ached from the woman's pulling, but Su Xi pursed her lips and remained silent. If she had to pinpoint where she had offended that heartless man, it would likely be because of giving money to her uncle.
Huang Sifeng's face was contorted with rage. Just as she was about to say something, she saw a Rolls-Royce pull up not far away.
The car window rolled down, revealing Feng Jinchen's slightly tipsy face. The man clearly noticed Su Xi, looking over expressionlessly with icy eyes.
Upon seeing Feng Jinchen, Huang Sifeng immediately cowered like a quail, shrinking behind a large tree and whispering, "Su Xi, don't tell him I was here. Just beg him to bring him hot water to wash his feet. Serve him well tonight. Once he's satisfied, then you can bring up our matter."
Seeing Su Xi's pale face, Huang Sifeng knew that she was unwilling to do as she said, and she was furious. If Feng Jinchen hadn't been watching, she would have loved to beat this good-for-nothing.
The woman's voice was cold. "I told your uncle that only by completely severing ties with you will that man let us go. Your uncle is adamant about not agreeing. If you can't persuade your husband, if you have any conscience at all, please have pity on us and offer to sever ties. We don't want to take advantage of you in any way; we'll just be grateful if we don't suffer along with you."
Seeing Huang Sifeng leave, Su Xi walked heavily towards the car.
"Who are you talking to?"
"A friend."
"Oh, when did your aunt become your friend?"
Looking at the smiling man, Su Xi realized that he completely disregarded the lives of her family. Her last bit of hope for this man vanished like a bubble, impossible to piece back together.
"Feng Jinchen, what do I need to do for you to let my uncle's company go?"
“I haven’t decided yet. But don’t worry, I’ve stopped and stopped anyone from targeting him. I’ll just let his little company continue to languish. That’s the price he pays for daring to take your money, no, my money.”
The man seemed to have drunk quite a bit, and his words were cold and ruthless, each one piercing Su Xi's chest, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
She really couldn't understand how she could have fallen for such a man in the first place.
Su Xi's heart was already numb, and she laughed out loud, "Do you see my family as nothing more than weeds?"
"Don't speak so harshly. If they were good people, they would speak well of me to you and try to reconcile us, instead of using my money to do business without any investment and using it as leverage against me. Why would I treat them like this? They have only themselves to blame."
When someone stops loving you, they can even find fault with your breathing.
Su Xi walked straight ahead. She heard the sound of a car door opening behind her, and a man quickly caught up.
He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the shadows. "Su Xi, your uncle said he's your husband today. Aren't you thrilled? Hmm?"
The overwhelming smell of alcohol assaulted my face.
The man's eyes were filled with intense crimson and madness; his reason was teetering on the edge of losing control. Su Xi lowered her gaze and said, "You're drunk."
She'd had enough of this man who seemed ready to lose control at any moment. Even if it meant leaving with nothing after Luo Chen's bone marrow transplant, she was determined to leave him.
The man grabbed her chin, lifted her face, and forced her to look him in the eye.
Seeing the hurt and despair in the woman's eyes, the man felt a sharp pang in his heart. This was the expression of utter despair.
A cool breeze blew by, instantly clearing his mind considerably. "Xixi, I'm sorry, I was drunk. Stay away from me if you see me drunk in the future."
The man released her and staggered away, leaning against a tree. If the maid hadn't rushed over to catch him, he would have fallen to the ground.
The moment the maid helped him up, Feng Jinchen felt a wave of nausea surge up and couldn't help but vomit all over himself and the floor.
Su Xi felt no emotion and left in another direction.
It's not that men haven't been drunk before. Back then, when they were drunk, they would only hug her and tell her how much they loved her, which would only make her feel sorry for them and soften her heart. But now, all they make her feel is fear and anger.
They can never go back.
She picked up her phone and called her younger brother, "Luo Chen, don't anger that man these next few days. After the surgery, I'll file for divorce."
The next day, Su Xi went downstairs for breakfast and saw Feng Jinchen there as well.
She sat opposite the man, her expression indifferent. "I've made up my mind. I want to sever all ties with my uncle's family. Haven't you always wanted to clip my wings? I'll let you clip them."
Feng Jinchen paused in his steak-cutting motion, the food in his mouth tasting like cardboard. He forced it down, his face filled with remorse. "Xixi, I drank too much last night. I've thought it through. I overreacted. It was only a few tens of millions, not billions. I was too impulsive. I'm sorry."
Su Xi showed no reaction, as if she hadn't heard him at all.
A bitter look appeared on Feng Jinchen's handsome face. He immediately made a call to his subordinate, "Feng's Group will prioritize cooperating with my uncle's companies. We need to persuade as many of the partners who withdrew from the cooperation as possible to come back and get my uncle's company back on track as soon as possible."
The man on the other end asked something, and his face hardened. "Who is my uncle? You fool! It's Su Zi'an. Get it done immediately."
After hanging up the phone, the man smiled, his expression a mixture of ingratiation and determination. "Xixi, I promise that even if we argue or get angry again, I won't take it out on your family. Please forgive me this once."
The man kept staring intently at her, making it difficult for her to eat breakfast. Su Xi simply gave a faint "hmm."
Feng Jinchen's smile widened as he peeled the king crab and placed it on Su Xi's plate.
I have to attend an engagement party tonight.
Gong Shaofan and Xia Wanqing are getting engaged.
Faced with the three parties terminating their contracts, Feng Jinchen was at a loss. After Feng Jingnian took over the company, he quickly had people investigate and found evidence that Xia Wanqing had tried to frame him but instead turned around and accused him, instigating the three families to terminate their contracts with the Feng family. This evidence proved that the Gong, Xia, and Qu families had no sense of contractual obligation and were of questionable character.
Feng Jinchen simply took advantage of the existing evidence and had it circulated within high society circles, instantly reversing public opinion. The businesses of all three families were also affected.
As a result, Gong Shaofan's reputation was also affected.
First, he slept with his cousin at his fiancée's birthday party, and then he slept with an employee at the Feng family's anniversary celebration. No wealthy family would be willing to marry into the Gong family if a man like this couldn't control his philandering.
Getting engaged to Xia Wanqing would prove that Gong Shaofan is a true man and that his love is genuine. As for that employee, they would go to great lengths to claim that he was drugged.
Time will heal all wounds, and the Gong family will find a reason to annul the engagement and find another family of equal social standing. Of course, Xia Wanqing is unaware of this.
Xia Wanqing looked radiant in her bright red engagement dress, and her smile never stopped.
I took a break to go to the bathroom, but when I came out, a man grabbed me and dragged me into a dark guest room.
Thinking it was Gong Shaofan, the woman let out a soft moan and collapsed into the man's arms, weak and boneless.
But they soon realized something was wrong.
