Chapter 188 No Interest in Honeycomb Briquettes
The cruise ship docked in Los Angeles late at night, and the Feng family mansion was unusually brightly lit, with everyone on high alert.
Everyone except Feng Hanhai was present.
"A-Jue, are you confused? What did you do to offend Qiao Li this time? If that woman gets angry, our Feng family could be wiped out."
Feng Jue leaned back on the sofa, closing his eyes to rest. He had drunk quite a bit of hangover soup, but his cheeks were still flushed, and he seemed to be in somewhat poor spirits.
The old man's beard trembled with rage. "Guards, bring out the family law! I'm going to beat this unfilial son to death!"
The old lady hurriedly advised, "If you beat him to death, Qiao Li won't get any revenge. Or... or A-Jue, you should just give in to her."
"Does he look like he's going to compromise? I think he'll offend Qiao Li even more thoroughly once she arrives. Feng Jue, no matter how capable you are, if you don't consider the family's interests at all, you will never be a qualified head of the family."
Hearing this, Feng Jinchen's smugness deepened. He might be able to sit in the seat of the future head of the Feng family.
But when he thought about the impending doom facing the Feng family, he couldn't bring himself to smile.
Feng Qinyue and her mother were also devastated. Their gloomy faces suggested they were never meant to smile.
The family argued back and forth, but Feng Jue remained completely uninvolved.
Su Xi was also uninvolved. Pregnant women shouldn't stay up late, and she had just dozed off against the soft pillow when it was violently snatched away from the back of her head.
"Su Xi, what time is it? How dare you sleep? It's all because of you, you jinx."
Su Xi's head slammed hard against the sofa, and she felt dizzy for a moment. She frowned and looked pained.
"Look at you, putting on such a pitiful act for whoever you're trying to impress?" Liu Yufeng was furious when she saw Su Xi's appearance and threw the cushion in her hand hard at Su Xi's face.
The cushions were filled with cassia seeds and the like; getting hit by one would definitely cause injury. Su Xi instinctively clutched her abdomen.
Suddenly, her vision blurred, and Feng Jue appeared before her, shielding her beneath his body.
Watching helplessly as the cushion slammed into the man's back, Liu Yufeng gaped in shock, her eyes darting nervously left and right, her gaze flickering as she silently retreated to minimize her presence.
Su Xi raised her eyes, and the man's pair of peach blossom eyes, still half-closed and filled with tender mist, came into view. They were so close that they could almost hear each other's breath.
A chilling aura instantly enveloped her.
Before Su Xi could react, the man had already turned away and sat down on the sofa opposite her.
The elderly couple saw this scene clearly, but Liu Yufeng had indeed gone too far. It was understandable that Feng Jue, as an elder, would step in to stop her, so they didn't think much of it.
Feng Jinchen moved his lips, but then thought better of it; now was not the time to complain. Resolving Qiao Li's matter first was the priority.
A car sounded outside, and soon Jiao Ruoyi strode in with an imposing air. Behind her were more than ten handsome bodyguards, all under 20 years old and tall.
"Everyone's here, it's so lively." Jiao Ruoyi's gaze swept over everyone, lingered on Su Xi's face for a moment, and finally landed on Feng Jue.
"Feng Jue, you should be glad that your sister is still interested in you, that you still have leverage. Either come with your sister tonight, just for one night, and your sister will never bother you again. Or, the Feng family will fall into ruin. You choose. You only have 10 seconds."
The old woman opened her mouth again and again, but finally couldn't help but say, "A-Jue, just go, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Feng Jue had already stood up.
Jiao Ruoyi crossed her arms, her phoenix eyes fixed on Feng Jue, her red lips slightly parted, "Five seconds left."
The man was tall and elegant, his steps somewhat sluggish due to intoxication, yet each step seemed measured and precise, leaving a lasting impression.
Everyone looked over.
Su Xi unconsciously clenched her fingers as she watched the man walk step by step toward Qiao Li.
Is he really going to compromise?
The scene was deathly silent. Everyone held their breath, watching Feng Jue intently, for this man's actions concerned the very survival of his family.
Time seemed to stretch out infinitely.
Finally, Feng Jue stood in front of Jiao Ruoyi.
Jiao Ruoyi raised her lips triumphantly, her eyes almost overflowing with excitement.
Feng Jue reached out and pinched the woman's chin with his beautiful fingers.
The light in Su Xi's eyes shattered instantly. She lowered her gaze and slumped onto the sofa.
Feng Jinchen felt incredibly relieved. Having been forced into prostitution by the eyes of all his family, Feng Jue would never be able to hold his head high again.
The curve of her lips widened; this man who had humiliated her several times was only worthy of a whip.
She couldn't wait to teach this man a lesson.
However, the next second, a mocking glint flashed in Feng Jue's eyes.
Suddenly exerting force on his hand,
With a soft "crack," a small piece of the fake chin was pinched off the woman's chin.
Almost everyone present was stunned; their jaws nearly dropped to the floor.
Sensing something was off, Su Xi looked up and saw the woman's chin; her pupils contracted.
"The game is over. You are not Qiao Li." Feng Jue said calmly, picking up a disinfectant wipe to clean his hands.
Jiao Ruoyi's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
The old man and woman looked even uglier than she did. Their entire family had been completely fooled by an imposter; it was an utter disgrace.
"Who are you? What kind of nobody dares to cause trouble in my Feng family? I think you don't know what death means." The old man's face was full of anger as he rushed over and swung his cane high in the air.
"I am Kakunoru Kaku, one of the four major conglomerates in the capital. What are you going to do about it?"
squeak-
The old man nimbly stopped with his foot, his cane dangling in the air before being pulled back and slammed into the ground, shocking the old man so much that he almost lost his balance.
“Jiao Ruoyi, Miss Jiao is not as old as you.”
"If her chin is fake, then her face is obviously fake too." Having her identity exposed, Jiao Ruoyi simply stopped pretending and laid her cards on the table.
The elegant voice sounded like someone around 30 years old, which shocked everyone.
"I need to use the restroom to remove my makeup." Jiao Ruoyi showed no fear of being exposed and swaggered into the guest room next door.
After a few swipes of makeup remover, the woman in the mirror bore a striking resemblance to Qiao Li. She then removed her brown contact lenses and tossed them into the trash can.
Jiao Ruoyi let her long hair down from its bun and smiled at herself in the mirror.
She only resembles Qiao Li and has been mistaken for Qiao Li's daughter many times. But Qiao Li's daughter does not look like her at all.
She simply impersonated Qiao Li, which was indeed a lot of fun, and she slept with quite a few unattainable male gods. Unexpectedly, she ran into a wall with Feng Jue.
When Jiao Ruoyi came out, everyone was stunned once again.
It's unbelievable that a woman who looks to be in her early thirties, with a slim figure and stunning beauty, would do something like this, which is nothing short of a womanizer.
A look of amazement and intense interest flashed in Feng Jinchen's eyes. If he had known this was a woman's true form, he wouldn't have... Besides, she was one of the four major financial groups in the capital, with an extremely noble status.
The more he thought about it, the brighter and more intense his eyes became.
Jiao Ruoyi looked at Feng Jue with her bright, starry eyes. "Mr. Feng, the game isn't over yet. Even if I weren't Qiao Li, dealing with the Feng family would be as easy as crushing an ant for me."
You have five seconds to consider. Otherwise…
The woman sneered, sat on the back of the kneeling bodyguard, lit a cigarette, crossed her legs, and leisurely smoked it.
The old man quickly glanced at Feng Jue. Even if it wasn't Qiao Li, Jiao Ruoyi's identity was not to be trifled with.
He gestured to his son with his eyes, indicating that he should take it easy and that was enough.
Feng Jue's voice was indifferent, flat yet icy cold.
"I have no interest in honeycomb briquettes."
Jiao Ruoyi didn't react at first. When she did, her face instantly turned extremely ugly.
The scene was deathly silent, the atmosphere tense to the extreme.
The servants on one side and the bodyguards on the other formed a standoff, and a fight was about to break out.
