Chapter 63: Feng Yan's Critical Condition

~6 min read 1,160 words

The video clearly captured Su Xiyan's face; hearing Su Xiwei address her, Yan Fanqing finally understood completely.

"So the woman who married Yan Moci is actually an illegitimate daughter of the Su family."

Yan Fanqing gave a contemptuous snort; Yan Huaian really is old and dim-sighted, being deceived like this without even noticing.

Moreover, Su Xiwei is really bold to do such a thing, daring to appear openly in Jingdu and even be seen together with the Feng family's eldest son, who ranks just below the Yan family.

Moreover, the man who suddenly appeared after the video made Yan Fanqing even more concerned; after Su Xiyan's identity was exposed, all the students at Jingda were greatly agitated, and they all unanimously pointed their cameras at Su Xiyan.

In the video he saw, the man's face was never shown—only a fleeting side profile and a voice that sounded somewhat familiar to him.

Yan Fanqing's eyes narrowed dangerously; he had to rush back to Jingda immediately to find out whether these people had any video of that man's face.

At the same time, Feng Yan, who had been expelled from Jingda, suffered a relapse of his brain ailment from anger and was rushed to the hospital.

When Mrs. Feng arrived at the hospital, she was extremely agitated, exclaiming, "Weiwei! What on earth is going on?"

Su Xiwei looked flustered and said, "Aunt, it's all my fault; if it weren't for me, if it weren't for my quarrel with my sister, Brother Feng Yan wouldn't have fallen ill from anger."

Mrs. Feng flew into a rage, "Your sister? You mean that illegitimate daughter of the Su family, Su Xiyan?"

Su Xiwei nodded helplessly and said, "Call her at once! Otherwise, I'll bury the entire Su family alongside my son!"

Although Mrs. Feng's words were aimed at Su Xiyan, she gave Su Xiwei no face at all; Su Xiwei's face turned deathly pale, and she spoke on the verge of tears:

"Aunt, you're still blaming me."

Mrs. Feng frowned, her complexion grim, and said, "Weiwei, know this: although Feng Yan has acknowledged you, in my eyes your Su family simply cannot compare with the Su family of Jingcheng."

"Now, because of the incident with your family's pickles, my son has been dragged into the hospital."

"If anything really happens to my son, you'd better watch out!"

Faced with such a dressing-down, Su Xiwei bit her lip in embarrassment; without Feng Yan's protection, in Mrs. Feng's view she was utterly useless.

Mrs. Feng gave her a sideways glance and said, "Weiwei, I recall you saying it was just luck that you saved Feng Yan and woke him up, right?"

"Otherwise, Feng Yan, who usually keeps his distance from women, would never be so earnest with you."

"Now Feng Yan has fallen unconscious again—aren't you going to go in and treat him?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiwei grew even more nervous.

"If she really goes in, Feng Yan might die even faster."

But just as she said that, the red light suddenly came on in the operating room where Feng Yan was, and the nurse inside rushed out anxiously, saying:

"Oh no, oh no! The patient's condition has suddenly become extremely critical."

"His brain seems to be treated with Chinese acupuncture, which is completely different from the Western medicine the doctors use."

"If we can't continue with Chinese medicine treatment now, the patient is very likely to suffer a fatal cerebral hemorrhage immediately!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Feng couldn't care less about her dislike for Su Xiwei; she immediately grabbed Su Xiwei's arm anxiously and said:

"Weiwei! Hurry up and go in!"

"Don't worry; as long as you can save Feng Yan,"

"even if the Su family collapses right now, the position of the Feng family's eldest daughter-in-law will surely be yours!"

The nurse beside her beamed, "Miss, I never expected someone so young to possess such formidable Qi Huang Medical Art."

"If the patient was indeed cured by you before, please hurry and join me on the operating table!"

Under constant urging from both sides, Su Xiwei's expression grew ever uglier.

"Come quickly! The patient has stopped breathing—perform emergency resuscitation at once!"

Hearing that the doctor inside had actually issued a critical condition notice for Feng Yan, Mrs. Feng became even more hysterical, shouting at Su Xiwei:

"Su Xiwei! Feng Yan's state today is all because of you—you must go in, whether you want to or not!"

"Otherwise, if anything happens to Feng Yan, I will immediately have the entire Su family buried with him!"

This might be Su Xiwei's first taste of retribution for lying, but the retribution came far too fast and fiercely.

It made her feel like she was about to break down completely; under Mrs. Feng's frenzied pressure, Su Xiwei could only clutch her head and scream in anguish:

"Stop pressuring me! Feng Yan wasn't saved by me!"

"I don't even know who saved him!"

Upon hearing her words, Mrs. Feng froze on the spot, and the nurse's expression shifted from doubt to contempt.

She muttered, "I thought this kind of body-double plot only existed in old novels—I never expected it to actually happen in real life."

"Just this overbearing CEO—he's probably really going to die this time."

Mrs. Feng's eyes stared darkly and menacingly at Su Xiwei, as if the deep darkness within them wanted to swallow her whole,...

"Su Xiwei, I'm different from Feng Yan—he's always been well protected, so his nature is inevitably simple."

"I've struggled to drive away those flirtatious women his father kept outside, and to this very day, his illegitimate son Feng Chengren still lurks, constantly scheming."

"The Feng family can only belong to my son; he must not die."

"Since you dare to spread such an enormous lie, I don't believe you could be completely ignorant of who saved Feng Yan back then."

"Su Xiwei, I order you to find that woman at once."

"Otherwise, I'll turn you into a human pig; if my son dies, you'll spend the rest of your life as a widowed wife serving him, and I won't give you the slightest chance to stray."

"You'll never be allowed to leave the Feng family's ancestral hall; you'll spend eternity gazing at my son's spirit tablet from the most exquisite vase I've prepared for you."

"Even if you die, you'll become a ghost of the Feng family!"

Watching Mrs. Feng speak those words, Su Xiwei felt like she was facing a vengeful ghost; she was terrified and stepped back, half-believing that this old woman's madness would make her words come true.

"Even if Su Airan really wanted to protect her then, the Su family's strength would be no match for the Feng family."

Su Xiwei's fear reached its peak, and suddenly fragments of a strong survival instinct began to flash through her mind.

Thinking of what Su Xiyan had once said, Su Xiwei suddenly exclaimed:

"I've remembered!"

"Su Xiyan, it's Su Xiyan!"
