Chapter 52: Fei Jing, You Bastard!!!

The man who always replied to her messages in seconds took more than twenty minutes to call her back.

She cut straight to the point, "Want to explain?"

"Wife, I'm drunk."

His voice was hoarse; without straining to listen, one could hardly tell what he was saying.

In the background, a few good-for-nothing wealthy heirs were egging him on.

"Mrs. Fei, you'd better come over quick. Our President Fei is so heartbroken over you that he’s chugged three straight bottles of whiskey!"

"Yeah, yeah, Xiao Li, don't take President Fei's pants off. He's one of Jinggang’s premier, deeply devoted good husbands, strictly preserving his chastity for his wife!"

Hahaha—

The coquettish giggles of a hostess.

Lewd and chaotic noise.

Lu Tian clutched the collar of her dress tightly, preparing to hang up.

Instead, she heard Fei Jing smash something to pieces.

Someone gasped in terrified trembling, "Pr-President Fei, Xiao Li was just too admiring of you. Please... please show mercy..."

Ahhhh!

A young woman screamed in agony.

The next second, Fei Jing’s sinister voice carried the icy chill of the abyss, "What kind of trash thinks they can touch me? If Tiantian finds out, all of you will die!"

He also muttered, "My family’s little princess hates dirty men the most. She loves me so much, I can't let her down!"

"Miss? Your bag!"

The driver, who had returned to deliver her handbag, reminded her.

Lu Tian snapped out of her daze.

She asked, "Can a man really split his heart into several pieces to love many, many women?"

"Miss, I'm unmarried, so I can't answer that question."

"Yet, ignoring his marital infidelity, the master has been entirely obedient to you, cherishing you in the palm of his hand."

Another night where sleeping pills had no effect whatsoever.

Early the next morning, Lu Tian asked Chief Liu for a day off, planning to personally accompany her senior to meet this prodigy.

During the call, the Chief sounded full of regret, "Tiantian, to be honest, the person the lead researcher wanted most for this experimental group was still you!"

"My vertigo is still under treatment, Master. I am truly sorry."

Her voice was thick with nasal congestion, and her mind was troubled.

"Sigh! To think that back when you were still an undergraduate, you even participated in the astronaut selection."

"In that batch, apart from you, everyone else nearly vomited themselves unconscious."

"How on earth did you suddenly develop vertigo?"

Actually, Lu Tian herself desperately wanted to know the answer to that question.

The car drove into her long-absent alma mater.

According to her senior's clues, that prodigy would be attending a small, exclusive research forum for top students today.

Just as she stepped into the main teaching building, a junior student was chattering excitedly with her friend. "Did you see that? Senior Sister Lu is so awesome. She comes to an academic forum, and her boyfriend drives a Cullinan to drop her off in person."

"Not just that. Senior Sister Lu is actually only nineteen, even younger than us, with an IQ of 280. She's truly a dragon among men by birth."

"That's right, that's right! Remember Lu Tian, that big-shot figure from our school before? Even she has to come and suck up to Miss Lu."

Groups of students whispered endlessly.

Lu Tian looked at her senior, whose face was covered in embarrassment.

Looking awkward, her senior stammered, "Mr. Fei invested in my research project, Tiantian. That's my dream, I had no choice!"

"So for the sake of money, you deliberately kept it from me that the prodigy was Lu Youyou?"

And the moment she showed up on campus today, the rumors of Lu Tian humbling herself to fawn on Lu Youyou would be instantly confirmed!

"Tiantian, an arm can't twist a thigh. Youyou... Mr. Fei clearly still likes you. What's wrong with adding a concubine? Rich men, you know. Just endure it, and you'll still be the mistress of the Fei family."

Finished speaking, the senior bolted away on his heels.

Lu Youyou pressed close against Fei Jing, surrounded by a throng of school leaders as they walked into the grand conference hall.

She looked at Lu Tian with a beaming smile, "Sister, I heard you went to great pains just to beg me to let you join some international experimental project."

"Youyou, you published a paper with a one hundred percent impact factor at seventeen, and entered the aerospace research institute at eightteen."

"Before turning nineteen, you already held over thirty senior patents."

"With such proud achievements, a woman like Lu Tian, who is willing to be brainless in love and abandon her career, naturally has to lower her posture in front of you!"

The principal shamelessly buttered up one and stepped on the other.

Yet it was undeniable that Lu Youyou's aura was well-deserved.

And then looking at herself.

For the sake of a man, for the sake of a marriage, she had retreated step by step, sacrificing bit by bit along her path in life.

Only in the end, when the name "Lu Tian" was covered in dust and her brilliance faded, Fei Jing could still play the victim and complain to her, "Lu Tian, you look down on poor people, you look down on me! You're always high and mighty, knowing only how to throw tantrums like a spoiled heiress!"

"Sister Tiantian, begging people requires the attitude of a beggar."

"A phoenix out of its cage is worse than a chicken. The one who brings glory to our alma mater now is me, not you, a good-for-nothing!"

With the final sentence, Lu Youyou leaned down mockingly, provoking her in a soft whisper by her ear.

She conveniently added, "Want to know why you suddenly developed vertigo? Then go back to the Fei Family Manor; the answer you want is definitely waiting there."

With that, the young woman straightened up gracefully and prettily.

She acted coquettishly toward Fei Jing, who had maintained a sullen silence the entire time, "Brother Fei, tell me, how should I make my sister beg me properly?"

"Your call."

The man was sparing with his words, a stark contrast to how he acted in front of Lu Tian!

Armed with her "imperial sword," Lu Youyou arrogantly declared, "Sister, then perform the master-disciple ceremony for me. I'll be your master, you kowtow to me three times and bow nine times, and I'll agree to your request, alright?"

"Are you even worthy?"

Lu Tian scoffed and turned to leave.

The young woman put on an aggrieved act, "Brother Fei!!"

"Someone, help the Madam perform the courtesy."

"Fei Jing!" Her eyes split with fury.

This kind of humiliation—this man was actually going to forcefully impose it upon her for the sake of Lu Youyou?

"Beg me, Tiantian. You know my love for you is unique. As long as you are willing to beg me and admit that you still love me..."

Fei Jing crouched down, threatening her in a volume only the two of them could hear.

Held down by the shoulders by bodyguards, Lu Tian was forced to her knees on the ground.

Her eyes bloodshot, she gritted her teeth, "Fei Jing, you bastard!"

"Kowtow!"

Thud, thud, thud...

Her forehead smashed against the mirror-like marble floor.

Fresh blood blurred her vision.

Lu Youyou intimately hooked her arm through Fei Jing's, happily taking photos and videos of Lu Tian.

In an instant, she soared to the trending searches, becoming this year's most ridiculous wealthy wife!

"Oh right, Sister, almost forgot to tell you."

"My husband said that Sister's little pretty boy couldn't be kept around. Calculating the time, his plane should be falling about now, right?"

Looking thoroughly disheveled, Lu Tian bolted out of her alma mater.

She contacted the air traffic control tower at Jinggang International Airport.

The reply she received was, "Flight 3688, piloted by Captain Li, vanished from the radar airspace ten minutes ago!"

Simultaneously, a WeChat message popped up from Fei Jing.

——[Tiantian, choose one of two. Option one: you obediently return to my side, and we will love each other just like before.]

——[Option two: Li Yanchen dies for you! Along with the 256 people on board buried with him!]

Rumble!

A deafening thunderclap exploded in Lu Tian's mind.

The person Lawyer Wang had sent to the Fei Family Manor sent back a message, "Miss Lu, we found a bottle of medicine in President Fei's bedroom, and discovered that during your hospitalization, he secretly added it to your food—it causes damage to human equilibrium!"
