Chapter 142: Ye Chu Offers Herself, Seeking the Phoenix Title

Feng Su held Li Jiuwei close, deeply inhaling the fragrance at her neck. In moments like this, silence spoke louder than words.

Good times always passed too quickly. The arrival of Madam Feng shattered the warm atmosphere.

“Feng Su, you’re now the head of the Feng Group. Is it proper for you to be embracing someone so openly? And you, Feng Su, your current status is different from before—don’t tarnish your reputation.”

Madam Feng scolded both Feng Su and Li Jiuwei. Li Jiuwei retorted on the spot, “Madam Feng, if you have time to lecture us here, why not focus on maintaining your own marriage?”

“Li Jiuwei, are you cursing me?”

“Whether it’s a curse or not, you can check for yourself. Oh, at the Tianshan Villa.”

Li Jiuwei smiled subtly, her eyes revealing a trace of sympathy as she looked at Madam Feng. It seemed she had schemed against Patriarch Feng her whole life, but in reality, she had been outmaneuvered by him—both hateful and pitiable.

Madam Feng didn’t understand Li Jiuwei’s meaning. The Tianshan Villa was in a wealthy district—what exactly did Li Jiuwei imply? Being naturally guarded, Madam Feng immediately contacted her people to investigate the matter.

She exhaled slightly. Now that Feng Su had taken control of the Feng family, she no longer had to hide things from the old man or hold back.

Therefore, Madam Feng left the hospital, indifferent to the patriarch’s condition.

Just outside the hospital, Madam Feng encountered Ye Chu, whose face was pale as she looked up at her expectantly.

“Auntie—congratulations.”

“Thank you. But you don’t look well.”

Ye Chu gave a weak smile. “I had a miscarriage. I did as promised.” Her bright eyes met Madam Feng’s, reminding her that she had agreed to terminate the child, but Madam Feng was to help her become Feng Su’s woman and kick Li Jiuwei aside.

Yet Madam Feng did not respond immediately. Now that Feng Su was the head of the Feng family, she no longer needed the Ye family’s assistance.

“The Ye family has chosen Feng Huang’s side. You want to be Feng Su’s woman now? Isn’t that laughable? I won’t accept a daughter-in-law who betrays trust.”

Ye Chu shook her head anxiously. “No… that’s not what I mean… Auntie, I’ve always supported Su Ge. The others in the Ye family’s opinions don’t concern me. Please help me. If you do, I’m willing to transfer my shares in the Ye family to you.”

“Really?”

“I’m sincere, Auntie. Please believe me.”

Ye Chu pleaded desperately. Without Feng Su, she felt she would die. Seeing her imploring gaze, Madam Feng pretended to agree, and Ye Chu wept with joy.

She offered some symbolic comfort.

After getting into the car, Madam Feng glanced back at Ye Chu outside.

With Madam Feng’s support, she would surely achieve her goal.

Ye Chu clutched her abdomen, a tinge of hope in her heart. Ye Mu stepped out of the car, concern etched across her features.

“Are you really determined to be with him?”

“Yes.”

“No one else?”

“Mom, without Su Ge, I truly would die. I can’t live without him. I love him.”

Her stubborn devotion was unwavering. She would never love another man; Feng Su was the only man in her heart and eyes.

Ye Mu knew her daughter well. Once she made up her mind, there was no turning back.

“You will get hurt.”

“Mom… I’m not afraid. I’ve already suffered so much. One more wound doesn’t matter.”

Ye Mu’s heart ached for her precious daughter. She didn’t know who had taken her daughter’s innocence—it was a mystery she had been investigating but had found no trace of.

When they returned to the Ye residence, Ye Chu went back to her courtyard, exhausted and unwell.

Lying on the sofa, she fell into an unconscious sleep.

In her dreams, she felt suffocated. A hand wandered restlessly over her body.

The choking sensation grew stronger. Suddenly, Ye Chu’s eyes flew open, seeing her uncle’s close friend, Liu Niande, pressing down on her, groping her indiscriminately.

“Let go, help… mmmph…”

Liu Niande covered her mouth, a smug smile spreading across his face. “Chu Chu, niece, you really make me miss you.”

She stared wide-eyed, confused by his words. Under his control, Ye Chu was powerless to resist.

Her eyes filled with humiliation as she stared at Liu Niande.

But Liu Niande saw her resistance as part of the game. Leaning close to her ear, he whispered, “Chu Chu, niece, you were so beautiful that night—your first time belonged to me.”

Shock gave way to hatred in Ye Chu’s eyes.

At last, she understood the truth.

It was this fiend, Liu Niande, who had stolen her innocence, and she was carrying his cursed child.

This time, Ye Chu was deeply grateful that she had miscarried Liu Niande’s bastard.

“You’re pregnant with my child, but why are you so cruel? Why did you terminate my child—Chu Chu, niece, you’re so disobedient. Since you’re so heartless, I have no reason to pity you.”

Liu Niande raised his hand and brazenly kissed Ye Chu on the lips.

This man was the same age as her uncle, a notorious womanizer famed for his relentless conquests.

Ye Chu struggled fiercely, fueling Liu Niande’s desire.

---

He was skilled at breaking even the most chaste women; under his control, they would become wantons.

Though mindful of her recent miscarriage, Liu Niande couldn’t fully indulge himself nor harm her.

Still, he trained Ye Chu thoroughly until she became a creature stripped of all dignity.

“I’ll tell my parents about this,” she said, cheeks flushed with anger.

“This won’t happen unless you want everyone to know you’re mine. Chu Chu, be a good girl and serve me well. No one else will ever know about this, or else… I won’t hesitate to ruin you completely.”

“You bastard.”

“Chu Chu, though I’m a bit older, I care for you. Stay with me and you won’t suffer. I like you. As long as you obediently become my woman, I can grant you any wish.”

Ye Chu bit back the curse forming on her tongue.

Liu Niande was indeed a potent weapon. She had already lost so much.

Better to wield him as a weapon, and once her plans succeeded—

He would have no reason to live.

Ye Chu immediately wrapped her arms around Liu Niande’s waist.

“You can’t lie to me.”

“I swear.”

“Good. I agree…”

Liu Niande’s eyes lit up with excitement as he hugged her eagerly.

Enduring such humiliation, Ye Chu seethed with hatred toward Li Jiuwei.

It was all that wretched woman’s fault.

Li Jiuwei, I will make you suffer a fate worse than death.

---

After Feng Su took over the Feng Group, he returned to the company, and Li Jiuwei went back to Suwei Manor.

Soon after, Li Jingshen came to visit.

His expression was displeased. Upon seeing Li Jiuwei, he bluntly stated his purpose: “Release Feng Huang.”

“She belongs to the Feng family. You have no right to demand her.”

“Feng Huang is my fiancée!”

“You said it yourself—fiancée. She’s not your wife until you marry her. Li Jingshen, if you want Feng Huang, come and formally propose!”

Li Jiuwei lounged lazily on the sofa, propping up her face as she stared at Li Jingshen.
