Chapter 232 Marry Feng Jinchen
But this is fine too, she doesn't have to be the villain, there are plenty of people to stop Feng Jue and Su Xi.
Her son's constant disregard for his health and life caused her great worry and made her resent Su Xi even more.
When Liu Yufeng was called out, she felt a little embarrassed when she saw everyone looking at her, and her eyes flickered. "It's okay, Mom. I just wanted to say a few words to my son. I'm done talking, and I won't bother you anymore. Sorry."
Su Xi looked over, her gaze meeting the old lady's, and her fingers unconsciously tightened.
Grandma's eyes no longer held the kindness and gentleness she once had. She must have thought of her as an ungrateful wretch, a menace to the family.
"Xixi is here too?"
"Yes, Grandma."
The old lady smiled and said, "Alright, it's good that everyone has shown their good intentions. Ajue needs to rest, so you can all go about your business. Xixi, stay here. I haven't seen you in a long time, and I have some private things to say to you."
"Xixi, I'll wait for you outside." Feng Jinchen left only after seeing Su Xi nod.
In the outer room, only the old lady and Su Xi remained.
The old lady's face instantly turned cold and grim. "If A-Jue had been brought here a minute later, he would be dead by now. Last night's resuscitation was incredibly dangerous, the ups and downs almost scared me to death, while you and Feng Jinchen slept soundly, didn't you? Tell me, was A-Jue's sudden stomach hemorrhage because of you? What good deed have you done this time?"
Despite trying not to care, Su Xi's heart still ached involuntarily when she heard the man struggling between life and death.
"Grandma, I didn't do anything. I just agreed to marry Feng Jinchen. When my uncle found out, he disagreed and said some strange things. I don't know what happened after that."
Snap!
The old lady slapped Su Xi across the face.
"So it really was you who ruined my son!" The old woman was panting with anger. "You really know how to play the victim after getting the benefit. I don't believe you don't know how much of a blow that would have been to my son. Now you're talking about it so casually, as if my son was the one bothering you and you were the victim. You have no conscience at all!"
Su Xi touched her numb cheek, her voice icy, "It's him who's been bothering me, it's his unrequited love. I'm just rejecting him according to everyone's wishes. Do you want me to soften and be with him? That's not impossible..."
"Shut up! You're dreaming!"
The old lady was so angry that she swung her hand again, but Su Xi was on guard this time and intercepted her hand.
"Grandma, I used to think you were a sensible person, but now it seems you're not so great after all."
"Su Xi, it was I who was foolish before. You almost killed my son, and now you're so arrogant. How can you face me and A-Jue who saved you so many times?"
Su Xi's pupils trembled. Many people liked to pin the blame and accusations on her, but she didn't care at all, because she had done nothing wrong. But this time...
She had to admit that there was no necessary connection between them, but there was definitely some connection between them and her.
But she didn't think she had done anything wrong. If she continued to be passive and entangled as before, it would definitely not end well.
"Tell me, how could you agree to be with Feng Jinchen? What kind of evil plan are you hatching? Or are you deliberately trying to drive Ajue to her death? How could you be so vicious?"
"Grandma, what are you saying? Why would I want to upset my uncle? It's wrong for me to be with Feng Jinchen either. Do you want me to be with my uncle?"
The old lady sneered, "You wish! I'll tell you to leave Luocheng and never come back. If you marry Feng Jinchen, Ajue will be your uncle, and you'll be running into each other all the time. Are you still going to say you're deliberately trying to harm my son?"
Su Xi pursed her lips. "Grandma, I promise you I will leave Luo City in two days. I won't come back."
"Will Feng Jinchen agree?"
"If he doesn't agree, then let's get a divorce."
The old lady's shrewd eyes flickered. "What trick are you up to?"
Su Xi didn't plan to reveal the matching information. She had time to waste with these people and these obstacles, but Luo Chen couldn't afford to.
She must get Feng Jinchen to have the surgery done by today or tomorrow at the latest, and then keep her promise to marry him.
"You've probably heard about Wu Yaoyao's situation. It's because Jinchen thinks I'm better and insists on marrying me. You can ask him yourself if you don't believe me."
"No need. Don't worry about Feng Jinchen, that animal who thinks with his lower body. He won't die without you. I order you to pack your things and get out of Luo City right now, and never show your face in front of them again. I don't want to see you in Luo City again."
Su Xi wanted to emphasize that she should have two more days, after which she would leave Luo City. However, the old lady was shrewd and would definitely think of Luo Chen as a potential match, and she would have a hundred ways to cut off Luo Chen's hope of survival.
Thinking of this, Su Xi's expression turned cold. "Grandma, I don't like being threatened. Since you think your son almost died from drunkenness because of me, do you think he should listen to me or you?"
If I told him his mother to get out of Los Angeles immediately, what do you think he would do?
Do you really want me to turn your son into a knife in my hand?
"You dare threaten me?"
"You threatened me first."
The old lady took a deep breath. "I've been shrewd my whole life, but I only misjudged you once. Su Xi, is this how you talk to your grandma?"
"You're trying to stop me from marrying Feng Jinchen. In my eyes, you're just an unreasonable old woman."
"You!" The old lady laughed angrily. "I didn't expect that after dying once, you'd really change your personality quite a bit. But even if you change, you alone can't stand up to the entire Feng family. I used to disdain using those methods, but are you really forcing me to resort to any means to deal with you?"
Su Xi said calmly, "How many times have I been framed along the way? Whether they succeeded or not, they all received their due punishment in the end. If you think your son and grandson are really stupid and can't be traced back to you, then go ahead and try."
The old lady's eyes flickered violently. Feng Jinchen didn't have the ability to trace it back to her, but A-Jue...
"If we find out, your mother-son relationship and grandmother-grandchild relationship will be completely severed. If that's what you want, go ahead and do it. I'll be waiting."
The old woman's eyes suddenly sharpened. "What exactly do you want?"
"I don't want anything. Everyone thinks my family is down on its luck and I can't have children, so I can never marry into a wealthy family after leaving the Feng family, right? You think so too, don't you?"
So I've figured it out. I want to marry into a wealthy family and live a good life. Whether it's Feng Jue or Feng Jinchen, I'm capable of marrying them. My choice of Feng Jinchen is already a huge concession; don't push your luck.
The old lady's face instantly changed color, as if a paint mix had been spilled; her gaze shifted, and her expression became unpredictable.
There's a sense of powerlessness in me, a feeling of being unable to do anything about her despite my dislike for her.
Seeing that the old lady was still unwilling to give up and still wanted to argue with her, Su Xi had little patience left. "Grandma, I've said what I needed to say. I don't want to listen to your nagging anymore. If you continue, I won't marry Feng Jinchen. I'll try my best to call you Mom."
"You dare! You're not worthy."
The old lady slammed her hand on the table in a fit of shock, making a loud, jarring noise.
"Go ahead and marry Feng Jinchen. I don't care anymore. You just jumped out of the fire pit, and now you want to jump back in. If you want to die, no one can stop you."
Despite her harsh words, she remained wary. She didn't care, but the old man and Liu Yufeng would eventually have to intervene. As long as they didn't provoke her son, she wouldn't be the one to stick her neck out.
Su Xi moved her lips, about to speak, when a clear, deep voice came from the inner ward, "Mom, is Su Xi outside? What are you two arguing about? Let her in, I have something to say to her alone."
Upon hearing this, the old lady reacted as if facing a formidable enemy, glaring fiercely at Su Xi and lowering her voice, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go."
She wouldn't be foolish enough to let the two of them be alone together and develop feelings for each other.
Su Xi pursed her lips. She did have something to say to her uncle, or rather, she needed his help.
However, the old lady was staring at her with piercing eyes, so she felt uncomfortable being alone with him. Oh well, she decided to talk about it over the phone.
Su Xi turned and left.
The old lady had just breathed a sigh of relief when a voice, extremely cold and carrying an unparalleled chill, rang out.
"Su Xi, do you dare to leave?"
Su Xi suddenly stopped in her tracks.
The old woman noticed a faint weakness in her son's voice, and his breathing was slightly erratic. Her heart skipped a beat. He was perfectly fine just a moment ago; could it be that he was angry?
Feeling like she'd swallowed a fly, she could only glare at Su Xi reluctantly, "Aren't you going yet?"
Su Xi clenched her fist, turned around, pushed open the ward door, and went inside.
The man sat leaning against the bed, turned his head to look at them, his gaze as cold and stern as ever, radiating a chilling pressure and coldness.
His slightly pale lips carried a hint of sickly charm, casting a subtle warm glow on his handsome face, which was otherwise cold and aloof.
Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Just moments ago, this man had treated her like a stranger, seemingly oblivious to her presence as if he'd lost his memory. Now…
Meeting the man's cold and indifferent gaze, Su Xi pursed her lips. "Uncle, are you feeling any better?"
"You're disappointed that I'm still alive?"
Su Xi's fingers clenched suddenly at her side as she met the man's teasing gaze. "Uncle, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor."
The man sneered, "Why do you think I'd help you?"
Su Xi's face paled slightly, but she continued, "Feng Jinchen and Luo Chen are a match. I want you to help me investigate whether he is truly a match."
The man's icy eyes softened slightly, and he immediately called Liu Cheng, "Within ten minutes, I need to know if Feng Jinchen and Su Luochen are truly a match."
Hearing the man's cold and serious voice, Su Xi's heart trembled involuntarily. Only at this moment did guilt surge like a tidal wave, almost overwhelming her.
After hanging up the phone, the man looked at Su Xi, his eyes visibly softening, but his voice remained as cold as ice. "So this is why you agreed to marry him?"
"Isn't that reason enough?"
The man chuckled softly, his gaze fixed intently on the woman's eyes.
"Come here."
Su Xi pursed her red lips into a straight line and walked step by step to the bedside under the man's somewhat threatening gaze.
