CHAPTER 493: CHAPTER 203: THE SU FAMILY DEFENSIVE BATTLE (PART 1)

Yan Wuxu walked out of the funeral home looking utterly displeased. She refused Han Fang’s offer to take her home, instead hailing a taxi and heading straight to the villa.

In broad daylight, Yan Wuxu had utterly lost face and harbored deep hatred for Su Ziceng. However, she dared not lash out hastily, as the death of Secretary Wang was a scheme of her own making.

Although Secretary Wang had left the Su Family long ago, the scandal of catching a cheater at the villa had completely alienated Yan Wuxu. Since losing her first child, her vindictive nature had been provoked.

The ostracism by Chang’s mother and daughter and the temporary neglect by Su Qingzhang had magnified her resentment many times over. The continuous provocations and threats from Su Ziceng had made her forget all the camaraderie they once shared. The behavior she displayed in front of the coffin today only intensified her hatred towards Su Ziceng.

Upon arriving at the villa, Fei Qing was lounging on the living room couch, and the counterfeit child was being looked after by a newly hired nanny.

By the seaside, the Su Family’s "Golden Coast" had been out of operation for a while, bleakly blocking out the sunshine.

"Who has offended you again?" Fei Qing asked, his legs perched up, looking at Yan Wuxu clad in depressing black attire, her face eerily pale with exaggeratedly blood-red lips. He found it somewhat stomach-churning. By now, the novelty of being with Yan Wuxu had worn off for him, yet he couldn’t just abandon her.

"Who else but that little bitch from the Su Family," Yan Wuxu complained just after she returned, quickly discarding her unsightly black outfit. "If it weren’t for the members of the Su Family dying off, I wouldn’t even bother attending any funerals under the name of the Su Family."

"You could simply stop using the title of Mrs. Su. Right now, Su Qingzhang is like a living dead. You should just divorce him," Fei Qing couldn’t understand why Yan Wuxu still clung to her title as Mrs. Su.

It wasn’t that Yan Wuxu hadn’t considered divorcing Su Qingzhang, but with the current unclear situation in the Su Family, divorcing hastily might be unwise. If the Su Family eventually overcame these difficulties, all her years of youth and suffering would be in vain.

Using the infant she claimed, she could curry favor with both sides. To keep this secret from leaking, she wouldn’t even shy away from committing murder.

Fei Qing, with his one-track mind, couldn’t fathom the cunning calculations of Yan Wuxu. Every time he came to the villa, he crept around stealthily although he was the one paying for his mistress, still feeling like a kept man.

"Divorce?" As she spoke, Yan Wuxu pulled a cigarette from Fei Qing’s pocket and soon the living room was filled with haze. The nanny, holding the baby, retreated to another room, harboring some grievances about this couple.

"Just go through with the divorce. Are you planning on sticking with that old man forever?" Fei Qing took a glance at the interior room and snuggled up to Yan Wuxu, starting to get handsy. Unlike Su Qingzhang who adored Yan Wuxu’s eyes, Fei Qing was more pragmatic, only attracted to her body which had become more alluring after childbirth.

"I rely on no one. With you being only a nominal heir to the Fei Family, that’s pretty empty," Yan Wuxu rebuffed, pushing Fei Qing’s hands away with her cigarette.

When Yan Wuxu first learned that this villa was acquired in exchange for "Yellow Love," she flew into a rage. She had once envied Su Ziceng for owning the rare "Red Love" diamond ring, while she only possessed tiny orange diamonds.

With her status today, in what way was she inferior to Su Ziceng? Why should Su Ziceng have not only a priceless red diamond but also a set of yellow diamond jewelry? But since the items were already given away, she had no choice but to let it be.

Having acquired the villa had pleased Yan Wuxu for a while, but after the initial joy, she realized that Fei Qing wouldn’t provide her any extra funds. All expenses, including the villa maintenance, nanny payments, and even baby formula, were all paid by her alone.

What was once a treasure house became a money pit, and the more Yan Wuxu thought about it, the angrier she got.

Fei Qing had no choice. Although he was now the general manager of the Fei Family, he didn’t hold as much authority as Hang Yishao.

Mr. Fei’s personality was different from Hang’s father; he might not be as capable as Su Qingzhang, but his desire for control was boundless. In the Fei Family, he held all the financial and personnel power in his hands.
