Chapter 404 The Due Date Has Arrived
Grandma Feng remained calm as she took the paternity test report and opened it.
After seeing the test results confirming that Feng Jinchen and Feng Hanhai were biologically father and son, he showed no surprise and simply said, "Just announce the results tomorrow morning."
The housekeeper should be.
Su Xi returned to the hotel, where she was all alone and couldn't fall asleep, tossing and turning.
Her mind was filled with images of what had just happened with Feng Jue in the office.
Frame after frame, segment after segment
It felt so real, as if it had actually happened to her, that her mind never stopped racing.
In the moment of tossing and turning, I felt something on my head. I reached up and grabbed it, only to find that the rose was still on my head.
That was pinned on for her by Feng Jue himself.
Unsurprisingly, I had a sleepless night.
In fact, when Feng Jue obediently swore an oath, Su Xi's opinion of him truly changed, and she slowly opened her heart to him.
But Feng Jue soon ruthlessly rubbed salt into her open heart.
The sweeter the moment, the more painful the moment.
So, admit it, Feng Jue was not a good person at all.
Therefore, those he targets are all good people.
Su Xi thought of Shen Congxuan, and her heart suddenly felt like a deflated block of ice.
The deceased is gone; she could no longer have the chance to make amends or offer compensation.
Suddenly, Su Xi thought of Feng Jingnian again.
Having learned from Shen Congxuan's experience, Su Xi instinctively felt that Feng Jingnian must have had his reasons, that he had been framed by Feng Jue, and that he was still very good to her.
Tomorrow happens to be Feng Jingnian's birthday.
Su Xi immediately took out her phone and booked a flight to China for the next morning.
Actually, this was Feng Jingnian's first birthday since they got together.
She was determined to give him a proper talking-to.
It wasn't until four or five in the morning that Su Xi finally managed to close her eyes, but she soon woke up again.
After checking the time, she got up, washed up, and rushed to catch the early flight.
The moment she stepped out, she took the rose off her head and threw it into the trash can.
She booked the Sky Sky Cloud Top Suite, ten thousand meters above the ground, a place free from intrigue and deceit, which naturally made her feel very safe.
The suite bed was very comfortable, and the starry night sky above, dotted with emerald-like stars, also helped me to sleep.
Su Xi fell asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.
When Su Xi landed in China, she had already had a good night's sleep. Although she had barely slept the night before, the high-quality sleep she got on the plane left her feeling refreshed.
She took a taxi directly to Feng Jingnian's villa.
Although she was asked to leave the villa, she was not blacklisted, so security let her in directly.
Of course, it would also be reported to Feng Jingnian.
Su Xi hadn't been to the villa in a long time, and it felt like a lifetime had passed.
Actually, it was only a few days when you really thought about it. Su Xi smiled bitterly. It's true what they say: you don't cherish what you have until you lose it.
The villa was very large, so she chose not to take a car but walked the whole way, measuring the distance with her footsteps and appreciating the plants, trees, bricks, tiles, bridges and streams that passed by.
As they walked, they suddenly heard lively laughter and chatter ahead. There were both men and women.
Su Xi realized that the direction over there was towards the swimming pool.
Soon, the sound of splashing water could be heard, along with the charming laughter of a woman.
Su Xi's face stiffened, and she paused in her steps, but quickly continued walking.
Judging from the sounds, there were many men and women, so it must have been a party, not an occasion she had to avoid.
As they walked, the scene ahead finally came into view.
Despite having mentally prepared herself, Su Xi's pupils still constricted sharply and her face turned deathly pale the moment she saw the scene before her.
Her fingernails dug deep into her palms, which helped her hold back and maintain her composure.
She smiled and walked forward toward Feng Jingnian.
All I passed along the way were women with hot figures in bikinis and men in suits.
Su Xi didn't recognize any of them.
Feng Jingnian was embracing two women, both of whom were barely clothed.
Su Xi couldn't bear to look, and only looked into Feng Jingnian's eyes as she spoke.
"Jingnian, you said you liked my cooking for your birthday, and I promised to cook for you. Have fun, I'll go cook. I'll leave after I'm done."
Feng Jingnian reached out and pinched the soft, smooth cheek of the woman in his arms, saying without looking up, "Since we're here, let's do it."
They seemed unwelcoming and too lazy to kick her out.
Su Xi pursed her lips, but said nothing, and turned to leave.
A tall, long-legged man quickly caught up with her. Su Xi turned around and saw that it was Nie Liuyun. Her face was cold, and she did not intend to pay any attention to him.
Nie Liuyun apologized with a mournful face, "Su Xi, I really didn't know you would come. This pool party was organized by me and has nothing to do with Jing Nian."
Today is his birthday, and I noticed he seemed rather downcast, which is why I came up with this idea. If I had known you were coming, I definitely wouldn't have let those women come.
Su Xi suddenly stopped and looked at Nie Liuyun, her eyes turning several degrees colder.
She used to think Nie Liuyun was a good young man who had never been in a relationship, but she never expected him to have such filthy thoughts behind the scenes.
Is throwing a bikini party the only way to make Feng Jingnian happy?
Or is this his own personal quirk, and now he wants to drag Feng Jingnian down with him?
Su Xi didn't want to think about the intricacies of the situation anymore, nor did she want to concern herself with it.
After all, Feng Jingnian looked very happy with two women on his left and right.
Even if facial expressions can be faked, body language cannot.
Feng Jingnian and Feng Jue are cousins and share some personality traits; both are obsessive about cleanliness when it comes to women. They're the type who'd wipe their hands raw with disinfectant wipes if a woman they don't like even touches them.
Therefore, if he were against those women, he would never allow them to get so close while dressed so scantily.
Even as she was leaving, she caught a glimpse of a woman almost lying in Feng Jingnian's arms, and he didn't refuse.
The more Su Xi recalled, the darker her expression became, like a black hole capable of destroying everything.
Nie Liuyun wanted to explain, but seeing Su Xi's pale face, he shrank back in fear and dared not speak again.
Su Xi said coldly, "It's your freedom to do whatever you want. I'm not some nagging old woman who has to interfere in this kind of thing."
I'm only here to fulfill a birthday promise I made to Feng Jingnian, to cook him a proper birthday meal. Everyone else, especially you, stay away from me. I find you disgusting.
After Su Xi finished speaking, she turned and left.
Nie Liuyun propped his forehead with his fingers, his handsome face showing utter embarrassment. After thinking for a moment, he hurriedly said, "Su Xi, now that you're here, you should disband the pool party. I'll talk to Jing Nian right away."
Su Xi paused, then heard the sound of footsteps. Soon after, Nie Liuyun quickly explained that the party was being called off.
Feng Jingnian's voice quickly followed, his tone cold and disdainful.
She only came to cook.
She's just a cook, why break up such a fun party for her sake?
If you don't like it, you can leave. I'll take all the beautiful women.
Nie Liuyun was completely taken aback by Feng Jingnian's response, and was so shocked that her mouth could practically fit two goose eggs.
In all honesty, he had only meant well in trying to bring the two together, but unexpectedly, Feng Jingnian chose immediate execution over a suspended death sentence.
He was instantly overcome with embarrassment, his toes digging into his shoes as if they were dreaming of a castle, wishing he could disappear. He shouldn't be here; he should be under the car.
When Su Xi heard Feng Jingnian repeatedly refer to her as a cook with a tone full of disdain, the color drained from her face instantly, and she stood there like a piece of rotten wood.
Nie Liuyun saw this and quickly stepped forward to help Su Xi. It was his fault for being so talkative; he had messed everything up today.
When Su Xi saw Nie Liuyun approaching, she immediately forced herself to come to her senses and staggered away as if fleeing.
Once in the kitchen, I buried myself in cooking.
Cooking is actually a very calming activity.
After working for about three hours, Su Xi finally finished and instructed the servants to send the food to Feng Jingnian before going upstairs herself.
Cooking was tiring, and she wanted to take a break.
When she left, she instructed the maid to clear out her belongings, but she knew that the maid wouldn't touch them; at most, she would only deal with things that would expire.
Later, she met the maid and asked her about it, and the situation was indeed as she had thought.
So she went straight to the bedroom.
The door wasn't closed; it was slightly ajar.
Su Xi pushed the door open and went in, but the scene in front of her left her speechless.
The room was the same one, but the scene before me was completely different.
Nothing inside was hers—her cosmetics, even the entire bedside table, her toiletries, even her favorite vanity mirror—everything that belonged to her, or that she had ever touched, was gone.
The entire room was filled with gray and white tones; apart from the white walls and gray floors, there was nothing else.
There wasn't even a bed.
Su Xi was in turmoil, and she left the room numbly.
Suddenly, she remembered something and wanted to push the door open again to take a look, but the locked door could not be opened.
They even changed the door locks!
At that moment, the servant came over.
Su Xi asked calmly, "Where did all my things go?"
The maid hesitated, her eyes darting around, and after a long pause, she couldn't utter a single word.
Su Xi immediately understood, and almost lost her composure.
It must have been Feng Jingnian who cleared out all her things.
It was truly cleaned up, not just piled up in a warehouse.
So, in his eyes, everything she left behind was just trash?
"If Madam wishes to rest, she may go to the guest room," the maid said respectfully.
Su Xi gave a self-deprecating laugh. "What kind of lady am I? Auntie, please don't call me that. I'm leaving now, and I probably won't be coming back again."
Su Xi practically fled in panic.
When I walked into the living room, I smelled a familiar aroma of food.
Unconsciously glancing over, Su Xi saw all the food she had painstakingly prepared lying quietly in the trash can. She instantly broke down, her nose stinging, her eyes reddening. It felt like a ton of rock was pressing on her chest.
She swayed, and only managed to steady herself by grabbing the wall for support.
She slowly moved to the sofa, and without caring about her image, lay down on it to rest for a while.
As the cold sweat subsided and her pale face gradually regained its color, Su Xi got up and, dragging her weary body, poured herself a glass of warm water and drank it.
Su Xi's eyes gradually became clear and firm.
No man, no relationship, is as real as this glass of warm water.
Feeling much better, Su Xi left the villa without wishing Feng Jingnian a happy birthday. She fled to Zhulu and returned to her job.
Going back to celebrate Feng Jingnian's birthday today was the most foolish decision she ever made. From the moment that thought crossed her mind, she had become a complete joke.
However, she and Feng Jingnian would be even from now on, and if they met again, they would be strangers.
For the next few months, Su Xi did nothing but work, refusing all dinners, parties, and social gatherings. She spent her weekends in the villa, researching food with Aunt Liu, taking good care of her health, and also providing nutrition for the baby in her belly.
They also keep two cats and three dogs in the yard: a Border Collie, a Siberian Husky, and a Golden Retriever.
Her work and investments bring her a steady stream of income every day, and when she returns home, life is peaceful and serene. Su Xi thoroughly enjoys this simple life, without a man by her side.
As for Mo Qian, Su Xi had actually inquired about her indirectly and found out that she was doing very well.
She didn't know why she didn't acknowledge her as her daughter, but as long as she saw that her daughter was happy, she didn't feel the need to rush to acknowledge her.
Her main focus now is on preparing for the baby's birth.
Soon, the due date was getting closer and closer.
On this day, Su Xi went for her prenatal checkup as usual, and went to the restroom on her way out.
While I was washing my hands, a tall woman with long curly hair wearing a mask came in.
Su Xi felt that the woman's body proportions were a bit strange, and her appearance was somewhat masculine, so she couldn't help but take another look.
The woman seemed to sense something, and the moment she met Su Xi's gaze, she frowned and rushed over.
Su Xi thought she had encountered a woman with a bad temper and some low self-esteem who took it personally and assumed that others were mocking her just because they glanced at her, so she rushed over to argue.
She quickly said, "Ma'am, please don't be angry, I just..."
Before she could finish speaking, she watched helplessly as the woman took out a handkerchief from her bosom and covered her mouth and nose.
It wasn't until this moment that Su Xi realized this might be aimed at her, and that the person coming was up to no good.
No matter how much she struggled, the man's hand was like an iron clamp. The difference in strength between the two was enormous, and he easily nipped her resistance in the bud each time.
Su Xi then realized that the assailant in front of her was a man dressed as a woman.
Su Xi struggled more and more violently, using all her strength to scratch a diagonal mark on the man's face, from which blood immediately gushed out.
The man winced in pain, cursed, and slapped Su Xi hard across the face.
Su Xi suddenly felt a ringing in her ears and her mind went blank for a moment. Before she could react, the handkerchief was already covering her mouth and nose.
A pungent odor wafted towards us.
Su Xi struggled a few times in frustration, but soon everything went black as she sank into a quagmire of darkness.
