Shaoyu felt somewhat surprised to see his nephew here, but the current situation didn’t allow for immediate questions.

He just pressed down on the boy’s shoulder and coldly watched Shi Cheng, who was shouting on the ground, “I thought that by playing house with you until now and politely calling you ‘Manager Shi,’ I was giving you face. But unfortunately… you don’t appreciate it.”

Although he always appeared gentle and easy-going at home, seeming very approachable, Feng Shaoyu was, after all, a member of the Feng family. When he restrained the smile on his face, his usually frivolous peach blossom eyes now showed a coldness that resembled Feng Yan.

He spoke with a smile, unhurriedly, “Since the Shi family is not sincere in cooperating, there’s no need to sign the contract temporarily. I believe that when the time comes, it won’t be us, the Feng family, who will be in a hurry, right?”

Shi Cheng, who had just been shouting like a madman, suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Wait a minute, wasn’t this not how his cousin instructed him? Wasn’t it said that Feng Shaoyu trusts the people around him the most, so he is very easy to be deceived, right?

Because of this, they deliberately chose this club that Shaoyu often visits, bribed the people around him, to lower his guard.

But despite planning so carefully, Shaoyu showed little interest from the beginning, barely drank, let alone getting him drunk.

They had to resort to a backup plan, trying to get Shaoyu to drink the spiked drink, then sign an unfair agreement while he was intoxicated, and afterwards pretend not to know anything and just deny it.

Who would have known that Jingxu would barge in, and Shaoyu wouldn’t be as easy to manipulate as they said? Where did they go wrong?!

Gritting his teeth, he stiffened his neck and argued, “It’s obvious that you, Shaoyu, are not giving us face. You refused to drink the toast I offered several times! Everyone knows that Third Young Master Feng often goes to this kind of place. Are you turning over a new leaf now?”

“So, Shaoyu used to come here often when he didn’t go home—”

Just as Shaoyu was about to retort, a familiar voice, as if from a demon, suddenly came from behind, making his scalp tingle. Stiffening, he turned his head and saw his sister-in-law being pushed in on a wheelchair by the butler.

Shaoyu: !!!

“Sister-in-law, it’s not like that, don’t listen to his nonsense.” Thinking of the various excuses he used to avoid going home before, Shaoyu swallowed hard, his forehead sweating coldly, and tried to explain dryly, “I, I was just, just being immature before, and was dragged here by friends to socialize a few times, definitely not often!”

Everyone who had heard about Third Young Master’s reputation outside was puzzled: ?

Sheng Xia’s eyelashes trembled lightly, her slender fingers caressing her heart, looking as if she were about to collapse from being so stimulated. “Is that true?”

Amid the subtly strange gazes of the people around, Shaoyu pretended to be calm and nodded repeatedly, “It’s true, it’s true. You see, I’ve been less busy recently, and I’ve been coming home almost every day, right? Xiaoxu, you know that too, right?”

Jingxu was watching the joke of his little uncle when he suddenly turned to him for confirmation.

Those frivolous peach blossom eyes were staring at him earnestly, anxiously, making gestures and mouthing words, full of desperation.

Feng Jingxu thought: “ Is my little uncle too cowardly “

He couldn’t help but roll his eyes, completely puzzled by his nervousness and guilt, but still nodded speechlessly.

However, just as Sheng Xia looked up and met her deep black eyes, he inexplicably felt his scalp tighten and blurted out, “But I’m usually at the company, so I’m not very clear about it.”

Shaoyu, suddenly betrayed by his nephew: ?

“What are you guys playing, a drama?” Ignored by everyone, Shi Cheng suddenly sneered, unable to resist mocking, “I see, that’s why Third Young Master Feng suddenly turned over a new leaf, turns out there’s a beauty at home keeping him in line.”

“But Third Young Master Feng has poor taste, She’s actually a crippled invalid…”

He looked disdainfully at Sheng Xia, about to find fault, but suddenly paused as his gaze fell on her face. After a suspicious silence for a few seconds, he persisted in a malicious tone, “I wonder if She can handle it in bed, damn it—!”

Before he could finish his trash talk, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and he was thrown back as if kicked, crashing into the wall behind with a loud bang.

Before he could react, as he lifted his head, Feng Jingxu’s fist came at him, “Dare to say it again?!”

Feng Jingxu had a fiery temper, and upon hearing Shi Cheng’s words, he couldn’t help but clench his fists. Feeling his uncle’s hand on his shoulder suddenly release, he immediately rushed over to Shi Cheng, his eyes was sharp, and before Shi Cheng could react, he pummeled him without holding back.

The few people who came with Shi Cheng panicked and tried to step forward to stop him, but were stopped by Shaoyu.

“Shaoyu, what are you doing? Stop him!” An anxious partner pushed him, “If you let Jingxu continue like this, our cooperation will be ruined, wouldn’t all your previous efforts be in vain?”

“It was the Shi family who started it. If we don’t teach them a lesson, they might really think that the Feng family is easy to bully.” Shaoyu smiled, his peach blossom eyes gentle and smiling, leisurely saying, “Don’t worry, Xiaoxu knows when to stop. He won’t beat someone to death.”

The partner was suddenly speechless, frowning, wanting to say something, when suddenly he saw Sheng Xia had somehow already arrived at the table and was about to pick up the glass that Shaoyu had previously placed on the table.

His expression suddenly became tense, and his voice instinctively raised, “What do you want to do?!”

Because of his voice, everyone’s gaze gathered on Sheng Xia. After seeing her actions, some people’s faces also changed.

Surrounded by many eyes, Sheng Xia was not flustered at all. She still had a soft and innocent look on her face as she calmly picked up the wine glass.

“Miss, that is Young Master Feng’s cup. Maybe you shouldn’t—”

Seeing Feng Shaoyu’s assistant stepping forward with a serious face, about to take away the wine glass, Sheng Xia nonchalantly handed the glass to the steward behind her.

Suddenly, she trembled and exclaimed, “Ah!”

“What are you trying to do? I’m so scared. Where’s my medicine? My heart condition is acting up…” She widened her innocent black eyes, pale-faced, clutching her chest, and her body seemed to stagger. “Ah, I can’t take it anymore, I’m about to faint—”

Everyone: “…”

The assistant’s hand hadn’t even touched her yet, and seeing her weakly faint like this, everyone was dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

—Wait a minute,

It seems like he didn’t do anything yet. Is this a scam?!

“What the hell did you do?!”

Blocked from seeing what was happening, Shi Cheng could only hear Sheng Xia’s weak voice seeming to call for help, and then everything went silent.

…Wait a minute, stimulating a heart patient could be fatal!

For some reason, he immediately gasped and was shocked. He didn’t care that he was still getting beaten up, he scrambled over, yelling in shock and anger, “Are you crazy? If something really happens, we’re done for!”

Feng Shaoyu’s assistant instinctively raised his hands in innocence, “I-I didn’t do anything…”

He really didn’t do anything, he didn’t even touch the wine glass!

“You didn’t do anything? She’s fucking passed out! Call 911 for help! Where’s the medicine? Didn’t you bring any medicine, Feng Jingxu?!”

Shi Cheng didn’t believe him at all, cursing at him from head to toe, pushing him aside to look at Sheng Xia.

Then he saw everyone around looking stunned and confused, seeming to be a bit skeptical about life. And that delicate Sheng Xia was gracefully lying in the wheelchair, motionless, eyes closed, face pale, looking as if he wasn’t breathing.

The pampered young master had never experienced such a shock before. He suddenly felt dizzy and almost sat down on the ground.

“No, no way! Is this really happening? What the hell are you all doing? Do you want to cause someone’s death and end up in jail?!”

It’s over, it’s over. He just wanted to trick Feng Shaoyu into signing a contract, but now he had really caused a big problem.

Shi Cheng thought in despair, his face even paler than Sheng Xia’s. Then, as if remembering something, he gritted his teeth and kicked Feng Shaoyu’s assistant, angrily whispering, “Let me tell you, you’re the one who did this. Don’t drag me into this, I won’t cover for you!”

Infected by his emotions, the assistant, who was already at a loss, became flustered as well. “No, Shi Shao, you can’t do this. I really didn’t do anything. You can’t push all the blame onto me!”

“Fuck, What the hell did you do without thinking!”

Seeing that they hadn’t accomplished anything, the two of them actually started arguing, making their partner’s face look even worse. Mentally cursing them as “useless,” he was about to speak up to stop them but caught Feng Shaoyu’s thoughtful gaze.

“Is there something wrong with that glass of wine?”

Feng Shaoyu was only easy to trust those around him, but he wasn’t a fool. Seeing that these people seemed to care a lot about that wine glass, he sensed something was off.

Not to mention, his assistant and Shi Cheng seemed very familiar with each other now.

And the only one who had the opportunity to touch his wine glass—

He looked at the partner whose face looked unnatural, his eyes full of scrutiny. “What did you put in there?”

The partner’s back suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, forcing a smile. “Shaoyu, what are you talking about?”

“It’s okay if you don’t say.” Feng Shaoyu smiled seemingly indulgently. “We’ll find out when we check later.”

“By the way, I advise you not to act rashly. Think about the consequences of offending the Feng family. Also, my sister-in-law always goes out with a group of bodyguards, and they are probably outside.”

Seeing this man about to intervene, Feng Shaoyu casually dropped this sentence, as if he knew the man wouldn’t dare to act again, and walked directly towards Sheng Xia and the steward.

The man’s body stiffened immediately, knowing that this matter was definitely not going to end well. His vision darkened, and he gritted his teeth, looking at the two idiots still arguing over there, unable to help but regret.

—If he had known that the people sent by the Shi family were so unreliable, he would never have been so easily bribed!

Damn it, this is really over now!

Feng Shaoyu was not in a good mood as he walked quickly to Sheng Xia’s side. He was about to say something when he saw his nephew tightly pursing his lips, his face pale, trembling hands trying to check her breathing.

Feng Shaoyu: “…”

Upon hearing the system’s report, Sheng Xia secretly opened one eye: ?

This is not good, could Feng Shaoyu be fooled as well?
