Chapter 2208: Chapter 2208: Logos of Truth (29)

Chuzheng flipped through the photos and videos in her hand, not sure whether to call Fei Jinxue stupid or foolish.

At a time like this, not staying quietly at home, she dared to run out to meet Cui Xianyu.

The previous photos Chuzheng had were rather blurry, but this time she captured a clear shot, and it was quite explosive.

But at this moment...

Could it be that these two meeting was just for this kind of thing?

Cui Xianyu doesn’t seem like someone who would bring trouble upon herself like a fool.

Looks like I’ll need to find someone to investigate...

Chuzheng put away her phone and drove off.

In the next few days, the old man’s movements were noticeable, but Fei Jiang didn’t react, allowing the old man to do as he pleased.

A week later, Chuzheng came back rather late and just happened to see the old man coming out of Fei Jiang’s study, leaning on a cane as he went downstairs.

When the old man passed by Chuzheng, he snorted coldly, not even opening his eyes.

The next day Chuzheng heard that the Zhang Family had taken the initiative to reject the matter.

The Zhang Family had always been passive, not having the right to refuse after Fei Jiang intervened.

Now they actually dared to take the initiative to refuse...

What did the old man do?

Fei Jiang was clearly displeased, but when Chuzheng asked him, he wouldn’t say anything.

"..."

In the end, it’s up to me!

Chuzheng arranged to meet with Fei Jinxue.

Fei Jinxue was a bit intimidated by Chuzheng, not really wanting to agree, but she had no choice but to go.

The location was chosen by Chuzheng, and when Fei Jinxue entered, she found that there were only waitstaff in the shop, no customers.

Chuzheng was sitting by the window, watching outside with her chin propped up.

"What do you want with me?" Fei Jinxue sat across from Chuzheng.

Chuzheng pushed the envelope by her hand towards her, and Fei Jinxue instinctively pressed it down.

The envelope wasn’t sealed, and due to the movement, some of the contents had slid halfway out.

Fei Jinxue’s pupils slightly contracted.

Even though she was mentally prepared, her heart still started to race wildly.

Ever since Chuzheng warned her, she hadn’t met with Cui Xianyu in private again.

The only time...

How was she caught in a photo?

She had been so careful, deliberately went to crowded places after going out, changed clothes, and left from the back.

She did all that, so how could she have still gotten these photos?!

The girl opposite leisurely stirred her coffee: "I checked, the Fei Family and Cui Family have been at odds since the old man took charge; their grudge goes back a long way, and the one he hates most must be the Cui Family."

Chuzheng paused, slightly raising her eyes to look at Fei Jinxue, who was biting her lip opposite.

"What do you think he’d do if he knew about you and Cui Xianyu?"

Fei Jinxue insisted, "Grandpa cares for me a lot, even if he knew, he wouldn’t really blame me."

"Hmm." Chuzheng nodded, "But what if he knew you were also betraying the Fei Family?"

Fei Jinxue’s pupils widened: "What did you say? Who’s betraying the Fei Family, what nonsense are you talking!"

Her voice raised significantly.

Distant waitstaff couldn’t help but glance over.

Fei Jinxue realized her outburst and quickly restrained herself, but still glared at Chuzheng.

She was just associating with Cui Xianyu...

She had never even spoken to Cui Xianyu about Fei Family matters.

Chuzheng’s pale fingers tapped the envelope: "There’s more inside, Miss Fei, have a good look."

Fei Jinxue: "..."

The plain envelope now seemed like a gaping maw.

Fei Jinxue found herself somewhat afraid to open it and see what was inside.

What could it be?

How could she possibly betray the Fei Family?

It must be nonsense!

Right!

It’s nonsense!

Settling her nerves, Fei Jinxue tugged the envelope on the table and dumped out everything inside.

-

Rustle —

The rain came without warning, as big drops pounded down, rising a misty fog over the entire world, blurring visibility.

Mo Xiangqiu and Fei Youping returned together, the car entering the Fei estate, and from afar, they saw their daughter walking in the rain ahead.

"Stop!" Fei Youping hurriedly had the car stop.

Fei Youping and Mo Xiangqiu dashed over with umbrellas: "Jinxue, what are you doing? Why are you out in this heavy rain?"

Fei Jinxue looked somewhat dazed.

Fei Youping and Mo Xiangqiu, full of concern, got no response from her.

Fei Youping’s heart was gripped with worry: "What’s happened?"

Mo Xiangqiu shook his head: "Let’s get in the car first."

Fei Jinxue returned to the villa still in that state, her face pale, eyes vacant and lifeless.

Seeing this made Fei Youping and Mo Xiangqiu tense and worried, pressing around Fei Jinxue with questions.

After a long time, Fei Jinxue finally opened her dry lips.

"Mom..."

The voice was hoarse and unpleasant, nothing like her usual sweet tone.

Fei Youping felt even more heartbroken: "What’s the matter? Who bullied you, tell us, and we’ll stand up for you."

Mo Xiangqiu agreed: "Tell us what’s wrong, we’re here."

"I..."

Fei Jinxue’s throat seemed choked, unable to make another sound.

Mo Xiangqiu and Fei Youping grew more anxious.

What in the world happened?

She was fine when she went out...

Why did she come back like this?

Fei Youping thought of something and immediately said, "Are you worried about the engagement? Don’t worry, as long as your grandpa is here, you won’t have to marry into the Zhang Family."

Fei Jinxue’s eyes welled up, she covered her face, crying bitterly, her despair pouring from her cries: "I... have to get engaged."

"We won’t..." Mo Xiangqiu was startled: "What?"

Fei Youping held Fei Jinxue’s shoulders: "Jinxue, what are you talking about?"

Fei Jinxue just kept crying, not responding to their inquiries.

Exhausted from crying, eventually, she only insisted she had to get engaged, but when asked why, she refused to say a word.

Could there be nothing amiss?

Fei Youping immediately ordered an investigation into who Fei Jinxue had met today.

"Mo Chuzheng?"

"Yes, after Miss left, she only saw her."

Fei Youping couldn’t sit still, storming toward the main house.

The Chief Steward stopped her: "Fourth Miss, sir and Miss Mo are resting, please go back."

Fei Youping almost slammed her phone in the Chief Steward’s face.

It’s just after six, who are you fooling! Fei Jiang, that lunatic, would still be at the company at this hour!

Fei Youping pushed past the Chief Steward, heading inside: "Mo Chuzheng, come out here!"

"Fourth Miss." The Chief Steward quickly called for help: "Stop Fourth Miss."

Fei Youping was blocked by the arriving bodyguards at the staircase.

"Mo Chuzheng!"

Fei Youping could only shout towards upstairs.

Usually gentle and polite, Fei Youping’s voice was now loud as she shouted.

"Aunt, why are you causing a scene here?" A man in a suit appeared at the top of the stairs, his right hand on the railing, his left hand in his pocket.

His expression was slightly cold, his whole body seemed to exude a chill.

He clearly did not welcome Fei Youping’s presence at this time.

Fei Youping’s heart sank; Fei Jiang was really here...

Steadying herself, she pushed past the bodyguards, straightening her clothes: "I have something to ask Mo Chuzheng."
