Chapter 469: Chapter 467: She Played a Good Hand Terribly
Indeed, Mr. Lu was angry.
He couldn’t help but feel relieved that Mrs. Lu was there; otherwise, this matter wouldn’t have been resolved so quickly.
He didn’t know where Mr. Lu’s rage would have burnt eventually.
Now, this fire had spread to the shareholders of Song Group, and it could be said that they had gotten what they deserved.
Zhao Xi would absolutely not feel sympathy for these old folks who stirred up trouble!
Due to the plans of Xiao Mo, Song Keren, and Xiao Jinglan, there were soon photos that allegedly showed Xia Wenjin being intimate with another man abroad.
There were even sneaky videos taken.
Subsequently, many people released "all kinds of evidence," and the woman in the videos even fled with that man after realizing she had been filmed.
For a while, the buzz in the country was all about how Xiao Mo was pining for his wife, yet his wife had thrown herself into another’s embrace and had gone abroad.
The news of Xiao Mo being cuckolded reached Xia Wenjin very quickly.
Although she wasn’t in the country, Feng Xixi almost daily conveyed some local news to her.
Xia Wenjin saw Xiao Mo’s display of love and devotion before the cameras, and her facial wounds almost split open from twisting in anger.
Especially when she saw the comments below, Xia Wenjin was shaking with rage.
The latest trending searches were discussing how she ran off with another man abroad, and how pathetic Xiao Mo was.
She furiously clutched the tablet in her hand, and nearly smashed it on the ground.
What kind of person Xiao Mo was, the outside world did not know, but she was crystal clear about it; without Xiao Mo’s instructions, Xiao Jinglan would certainly not have had the audacity to act.
They had exiled her abroad and had not hesitated to send an assassin to silence her, and now they were spreading rumors about her within the country.
Their whole family truly deserved condemnation!
It was fortunate that Feng Xixi reacted quickly and snatched the tablet away before it was thrown to the ground.
"What’s the use of being angry now? He’s in the country, you’re abroad, even if you want to explain, it’s out of reach." 𝒏𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
Moreover, Xia Wenjin had been pursued by killers, and the mastermind behind the scenes was very likely Xiao Mo himself; if he now knew that Xia Wenjin was still alive, he would certainly try to kill her again.
Whether she would be as lucky next time, who knew.
Xia Wenjin, of course, also knew that she couldn’t return to the country, let alone come forward to respond to these slanders.
But if she did nothing now, wouldn’t she be left with no way out?
Xia Wenjin sat there dully, then suddenly, as if she had remembered something, she turned her gaze to Feng Xixi, "Sister Feng, please help me. I’m really at my wit’s end. If you help me, whatever you want in return in the future, I will agree."
Right now, the only person she could plead to was Feng Xixi. Although she didn’t know why this woman had saved her, from their interactions over time, she seemed to want something beneficial from her.
As for what she wanted, Xia Wenjin felt it was no longer important. She had nothing left now, what else was there to fear?
Feng Xixi’s brows instantly furrowed into a knot; with others, she could have simply ignored them.
But the child in front of her was the one she had carried for ten months before giving birth.
Although she did not have much affection for her, for her future well-being, she still had to help with Xia Wenjin’s troubles.
Feng Xixi had figured out the domestic situation these past few days. She had always thought she gave Xia Wenjin the best possible background but hadn’t expected this blockhead to throw away everything she had prepared for her as soon as she returned to the country.
She thought that, even so, having lived with the Xia Family for 20 years, they wouldn’t have utterly cast her aside.
But it turned out that in the past 20 years, Xia Wenjin hadn’t done anything good within the Xia Family.
The four brothers who were supposed to dote on the "female protagonist" actually had issues with her, especially the third son of the Xia Family, who seemed to want to perish together with her.
Feng Xixi didn’t know whether to say it was the plot’s power that was too strong or that Xia Wenjin was too foolish.
A good hand, she had managed to play it into utter shambles.
Feng Xixi rubbed her temples with a bit of a headache. In fact, even after Xia Wenjin had returned to the Lu Family, there was still a chance to turn things around, since the conditions of the Lu Family weren’t bad either.
But for some unknown reason, Mr. and Mrs. Lu were so arrogant that they even brought disaster upon themselves.
Xia Wenjin, seeing Feng Xixi not speaking, grew even more nervous. She quickly reached out to grab her hand, urgently saying, "I promise no matter what you say, I’ll do it, as long as you’re willing to help me."
Her gaze clung tightly to Feng Xixi, that pitiful yet pleading expression as though she was the only one who could redeem her.
But there wasn’t much difference in saying that.
When Xia Wenjin was abroad in the past, she often bullied her classmates and had no friends other than the little hooligans who hung around with her all the time.
After shaking off the Xia Family upon her return to the country, she didn’t make any friends at her school in China either.
As for Mr. and Mrs. Lu, they vanished without a trace after their family went bankrupt.
Feng Xixi was quite speechless about Xia Wenjin’s social skills.
If she had been able to find even one helper, she wouldn’t have ended up in her current predicament. She had even heard that Xia Wenjin had had an ambiguous relationship with a regional vice-president of the XJ Group.
It was really baffling, how she could be so blind with eyes that actually looked quite nice.
Feng Xixi raised her hand to pat Xia Wenjin’s hand, comforting her, "Don’t worry, I will definitely help you. But right now, the most important thing is to get your face treated."
It was then that Xia Wenjin suddenly recalled how her face had been disfigured by those assassins, and with the wounds having been soaked for too long after falling into the water, nearly half of her face had been ruined.
Her hand subconsciously touched her cheek, and she shuddered with rage, completely forgetting the scandalous news that had enraged her.
Her face was destroyed, her most prized possession was gone.
Xia Wenjin felt as if this was a bolt from the blue!
Was she going to spend the rest of her life disfigured?
Xia Wenjin couldn’t accept this reality at all.
Her hand gripped Feng Xixi’s wrist tightly, the pressure almost enough to snap it in half, "Find me a doctor, the best doctor, I want my face restored to what it was!"
Feng Xixi couldn’t help but roll her eyes at that. If you could just restore a face back to its original state, then a doctor wouldn’t be called a doctor.
They would be called a Divine Doctor.
Feng Xixi knew that Xia Wenjin had completely lost her sanity by now, so she could only coax her softly, "Don’t worry, even if your face can’t be restored to its former appearance, you can have plastic surgery to take on another look, and it will be safer for you to look different."
"..."
Xia Wenjin clearly took in Feng Xixi’s words. She was right; her face, even if it could be fully fixed, couldn’t continue to be used.
Because Xiao Mo wanted her dead, her face was like a living target...
