Chapter 65: Direct Confrontation

~8 min read 1,492 words

Su Xiyan wanted to push her grandmother to the garden downstairs for a walk; her grandmother's condition had already stabilized, and she could wake up at any moment.

But just as she reached the corner, her instinct made her sense a strange and tense aura coming from beyond the corner.

She narrowed her eyes in doubt and stopped her steps.

That side seemed to notice her hesitation, and in the next second, a group of people appeared before her.

Seeing the people arrive, Su Xiyan guarded her grandmother behind her, wary, and said, "Su Xiwei, how are you here?"

But Su Xiwei didn't answer her; she earnestly told Li Meng, "Aunt, this is Su Xiyan."

Su Xiyan saw a somewhat familiar noblewoman's gaze suddenly sweep up and down over her, and she instinctively felt dislike.

Su Xiyan didn't think Su Xiwei had come to visit her grandmother; she feared Su Xiwei didn't even know her grandmother had attempted suicide.

Seeing the opposing side's imposing momentum, Su Xiyan realized they certainly came with ill intent.

She subtly moved backward with her grandmother while slipping a hand into her pocket.

The opposition outnumbered them; excluding Su Xiwei and that noblewoman, there were easily over twenty security guards, and with her unconscious grandmother in tow, she would surely be overpowered and restrained.

In her peripheral vision, she glanced at the door of her grandmother's ward and couldn't help but anxiously bite her lower lip.

Their position happened to be at a blind-spot corner of the hospital's line of sight, and she had just told Yan Moci's people that she would take her grandmother out for a stroll, letting them rest a while.

She hadn't expected it to be such a coincidence!

Su Xiwei saw Su Xiyan's concern, the resentment in her eyes undisguised, and she sneered:

"Yanyan, stop looking; this hospital is a private facility that serves only the upper class.

Each floor has only a handful of patients; don't even think about running away or calling for help.

I advise you to just behave yourself; otherwise, you'll suffer for it."

Su Xiyan frowned and said indifferently, "Just because of what happened in the library earlier, you brought a crowd to the hospital to find me?"

Li Meng couldn't help but shout angrily, "What library matter! Don't you realize that if it weren't for you, Feng Yan wouldn't have been so angry as to faint!"

He's still in the emergency room receiving treatment!"

Upon hearing Li Meng's words, Su Xiyan finally realized.

I never expected that Feng Yan, a big CEO, would have such poor psychological resilience.

She snorted, raised an eyebrow, and said, "So you're blocking me like this—what are you planning to do? Make me faint and land in the emergency room too?

Or are you this aggressive just to beat me up?"

Su Xiyan stalled for time while feeling in her pocket to unlock her phone screen.

Seeing Su Xiyan completely unfazed, Li Meng became extremely angry,

"Do you know who Feng Yan is! He's the eldest son of the Feng family!

He's the future helm of the Feng Clan Group! He's not someone a countrywoman like you can criticize!"

Su Xiyan spread her hands indifferently, "Yeah, yeah, but please understand this: I have no interest in Feng Yan; even if he were a golden goose that lays golden eggs, it's nothing to do with me.

Could you please make way?"

After observing from the side for a while, Su Xiwei suddenly frowned and approached Li Meng, saying:

"Aunt, Su Xiyan is stalling for time; if I'm not mistaken, her hand is definitely in her pocket unlocking her phone."

Li Meng glanced at Su Xiwei, not expecting her to have even a bit of wisdom.

Seeing that Li Meng still hadn't grasped her meaning, Su Xiwei gritted her teeth and said:

"Aunt, saving Feng Yan is the priority!"

Li Meng finally reacted, but since it concerned Feng Yan's life, she had to confirm.

She turned her head to look at Su Xiyan and demanded:

"Last time, when Feng Yan was issued a critical condition notice, wasn't it you who saved him!"

Su Xiyan narrowed her eyes; almost instantly she realized the true purpose of these people blocking her,

was probably to make her treat Feng Yan again.

Su Xiyan smiled indifferently, "So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"

Now the one who's anxious isn't her, but Su Xiwei and this woman.

Upon saying that, Su Xiyan finally remembered—the voice of this woman was exactly that of the woman who had been in Feng Yan's ward before.

Having seized the initiative, Su Xiyan became even more composed.

Seeing Su Xiyan so calm, Su Xiwei instantly grasped their intention and clenched her teeth tightly.

Li Meng, this pig teammate! Utterly stupid!

But fortunately, she soon heard Li Meng's cold laugh:

"If that's the case, today you'll be lucky enough to save a life for yourself and your old‑death‑defying grandmother.

But if not, then if my son dies, today all of you will have to bury yourselves with him!"

Seeing Li Meng's whole face twisted, Su Xiyan felt somewhat surprised,

I never imagined this woman would be such a ruthless, vicious madwoman.

If she's not mistaken, it seems the illegitimate son named Feng Ting has already driven Feng Yan and his mother to a desperate situation.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have adopted such a desperate, all‑or‑nothing stance.

A madwoman is the hardest to deal with; Su Xiyan's expression grew somewhat grave.

Seeing that Li Meng's words really took effect, Su Xiwei's face showed a smug expression.

No wonder she was frightened by Li Meng just now; Li Meng now looks like a ghost crawling out of the underworld.

If anything happens to Feng Yan, she'll drag everyone involved into her dark hell.

A flash of ill omen crossed Su Xiyan's eyes; the Feng family is truly a den of snakes and rats—whether it's Feng Ting back then, Feng Yan, or this Li Meng, there's not a single normal person among them.

For the first time, Su Xiyan felt regret about saving someone; not every kindness is met with gratitude, and sometimes it even brings trouble.

She looked at Li Meng with a cold face, "I want to immediately send my grandmother back to the ward."

Li Meng refused bluntly, "Impossible, this is the Yan Family's hospital. If she goes back to the ward, I will lose control over your grandmother; by then will you still obediently listen to my words and treat Feng Yan?"

Su Xiwei, who feared Li Meng would actually agree, finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing her answer.

Fortunately, concerning Feng Yan, Li Meng's scheming intellect was finally on point for a while.

Thinking that her grandmother's condition would actually fall into these people's hands, and that her treatment would take a long time, Su Xiyan felt anxious and restless.

Fortunately, at this moment her peripheral vision finally saw that her phone had been unlocked.

Su Xiyan was about to call Yan Moci, but she hadn't expected that Su Xiwei had been observing her for a long time, waiting for this moment to cause trouble.

Just as Su Xiwei was about to snatch the phone, seeing the name "Gold Tyrant Tyrant" saved on Su Xiyan's phone screen, a sudden idea flashed in her mind.

The man who appeared in the library is very likely Yan Moci!

Could it be that Yan Moci has really awakened!!

At the same time, a low, magnetic voice sounded from the other end,

"Hello?"

Although the voice was somewhat distorted over the phone, Su Xiwei immediately recognized it as the voice of the man from the library!

To verify her idea, as Su Xiyan grabbed back the phone, Su Xiwei shouted:

"Yan Moci!"

Seeing Su Xiyan hang up without hesitation, Su Xiwei accused her, "Su Xiyan, you're feeling guilty!"

Su Xiyan's heartbeat pounded like a drum, yet her face showed no sign; she calmly met Su Xiwei's gaze, her eyes clear.

Su Xiyan feigned disdain, curling the corner of her mouth, and spoke slowly: "Su Xiwei, back then you yourself were unwilling to marry into the Yan family, and now you casually call any man Yan Moci."

It seems you still have compassion for that Yan young master who has become a vegetative person.

But with your indecisiveness, feet in two boats, have you ever considered Feng Yan, who is currently lying inside receiving emergency treatment?

Su Xiwei gritted her teeth, being exposed on the spot by Su Xiyan about her past intention to marry Yan Moci, which made her feel immense shame, especially facing Li Meng and the gazes of the people around, which made her extremely embarrassed.

She wished she could rush over and tear apart Su Xiyan's face, which clearly belonged to a country girl yet was extraordinarily cold and arrogant.

But Li Meng interrupted:

"Enough! Start the surgery immediately!"
