Chapter 551: His body is very honest.

Xiaofeng obediently moved a little further in.

Ye Cheng dried his hair and naturally got into bed.

Xiaofeng, lying on her side with her chin propped up, blinked at him, "You really don’t remember me anymore."

Looking at her tender white face, Ye Cheng nodded, "I don’t remember."

"You actually really don’t remember. You don’t remember me, but you still have the nerve to get into my bed. Or is this just your style?" Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow.

He didn’t know her, yet he dared to climb into her bed.

"Didn’t you say you are my wife? Even though we don’t recognize each other, hasn’t our bodies already communicated before? It—recognizes you," Ye Cheng pointed at his own body.

Xiaofeng let out a gentle laugh, "I never would have guessed, people become frivolous after losing their memory. So you’re saying, you came today to help your body remember."

As she spoke, Xiaofeng moved a bit closer, blinked again at him, and directly wrapped her arms around his neck, "Is this better? Does it help you remember more?"

Ye Cheng lifted the blanket, leaned in close, and whispered softly, "It recognizes you, truly."

Although his brain had lost its memory, his body was honest. Seeing her, it could give an enthusiastic response very accurately.

Ye Cheng went about his business with practiced ease, and the night was destined to be anything but ordinary.

...

In the morning, when Xiaofeng woke up, the space beside the bed was empty; Ye Cheng had left at some unknown time.

Xiaofeng sat up and stared blankly at the empty space beside the bed.

When she came out for breakfast, Yan Junmei had already taken the twins out for a walk, probably to avoid meeting Xiaofeng and not knowing how to interact with her.

"Young Madam," Ye Fei approached her, "Zhou Xiaoya said she wants to see you."

"How is she doing now?"

"The doctor has already treated her wounds and given her the necessary vaccinations. There shouldn’t be any problems."

"Where is she now?"

"Still in the hospital."

"I’ll go there in a bit."

In the hospital, Zhou Xiaoya was packing her things. Seeing Xiaofeng arrive, she exclaimed happily, "Xiaofeng, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, I’d be ruined by now. If you ever need anything, just say the word, and I’ll be there."

Nothing was greater than the gift of a second chance at life.

"Okay," Xiaofeng didn’t say much else, "Did the school say anything?"

"The school didn’t say much, just told me to complete the enrollment process. But it scared my family to death when I hadn’t called home for days, and they couldn’t find me at the school; they thought something had happened to me."

"Xiaoya." A male student came over with a bag of pastries.

"Senior," Xiaoya saw the newcomer, her cheeks flushed, and she said to Xiaofeng, "This is my senior. He helped me with the enrollment process. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to attend school for so many days, and the school definitely wouldn’t have made it easy for me."

"Hello, I’m Qi Hong, Xiaoya’s senior."

"Su Xiaofeng." Xiaofeng gestured to him.

Xiaofeng watched them leave, with a hint of envy in her eyes. It was good to be a student.

She hadn’t gone a hundred steps when Xiaoya ran back, "Xiaofeng, is your family’s shop hiring part-time workers? Both my senior and I can work part-time, are you interested?"

"Sure, if you have the time. But do you have the time?" The part-time work wasn’t much, but if it was for students, scheduling could be tight.

"We can, we’re free on Saturdays and Sundays, and during the evenings too." Xiaoya’s family wasn’t well-off and she had done part-time work while studying at school before.

"Good, go back to your classes. If you have the time, you can find me at the New Era Supermarket next to University Town."

"Okay, goodbye." Seeing Xiaofeng’s agreement, Xiaoya waved goodbye to her, leaving cheerfully.

She thought she would die in that filthy sewer, never expecting her luck to be so good to meet such a benefactor.

...

"Boss, the Chengbei territory has been completely swept up by the police. Now we’re only left with a small number of people there. I heard that Dragon King has taken his gang over; seems like he’s planning to replace us and expand in that area," a man was speaking to Wolfman.

"I’ve been working on that Chengbei chain for so many goddamn years. And look at what happened—the moment that bitch left, the cops razed our den. Keep a close eye on that woman named Su Xiaofeng. I’ll make sure she pays a price and understands there are some things she shouldn’t touch."

That damn woman, thinking she’s untouchable as the Gu Family’s Young Madam, made one trip and let the police take down his stronghold.

That Chengbei line had been his for many years. With the police getting involved, it’s for sure that there would be no moving around there for the time being.

"Boss," one of his men hesitated, "about this Su Xiaofeng, given her status, even if we do make a move, won’t it be easily discovered?"

If she were just an ordinary woman, it would have been done already.

But now she is the Gu Family’s Young Madam, the Quan Family’s Young Lady; if something were to happen to her in the Imperial Capital, both the Quan and Gu families would undoubtedly investigate.

"You’re really as dumb as you look," Wolfman gave him a scornful look. "She’s a native of the Imperial Capital. I remember her family is in Xijiang County, right? Who says we’re going to kick up a fuss in Xijiang County? We don’t have to make her go back there."

"Boss, you’re brilliant," his subordinate said, giving Wolfman a thumbs up.

"Brilliant, my ass. If I were brilliant, I wouldn’t have let Dragon King pick up the scraps this time. I thought he was easy to get along with, but now it seems he’s the type who stabs you in the back." His den had barely been hit, and Dragon King had already brought his people over—clearly a move against him.

"Don’t you worry. Dragon King is nothing. After I’m done working with him, I’ll kick him to the curb. The saying is ’no room for two tigers on one mountain’. Between him and me, only one can sit on this throne as the top dog of the Imperial Capital," Wolfman scoffed. Cooperation with Dragon King was only temporary. Whether he would keep him around afterward would depend on his level of cooperation.

"Exactly, Dragon King is nothing. You’re the real boss of the Imperial Capital," his flatterer chimed in.

...

"What, Wolfman is sending people to Xijiang County to deal with Su Xiaofeng’s family?" Yin Li frowned slightly upon hearing the news and asked her subordinate, "When did they leave?"

"About a day ago."

"Alright, I’ve got it."

Yin Li felt a mixed sense of emotions upon receiving the news.

From a strategic standpoint, Wolfman’s move was not wrong. To deal with Su Xiaofeng, starting from Xijiang County was definitely easier than making a move on her in the Imperial Capital.

But thinking of that fool, and considering the target might be Su Peng, her heart raced uncontrollably. If anything happened to Su Peng... she...

She picked up the phone to give Su Peng a warning call, but as soon as she put the phone to her ear, she set it down again.

Her face felt hot; she didn’t understand what was happening to her at this moment.

It was that conflicted feeling of not wanting to see Su Peng in trouble.

Su Peng was Su Xiaofeng’s family, and since they were now targeting Su Xiaofeng, using Su Peng or Su Xiaofeng’s foster father as bait was the best strategy.

Yet now, she felt somewhat reluctant, almost afraid something would happen to Su Peng.

In the end, rationale overcame emotion, and she eventually refrained from warning Su Peng.

...

Driving back from the city, Su Peng entered as Zhang Xiaoke rushed over in a hurry, "Bro Su, you’re back just in time. A business partner called just now, saying our products are substandard—something about maggots and such. They want to return the goods, and even demand we pay them ten times the price in compensation."

Maggots, Zhang Xiaoke was experiencing this for the first time and found it unlikely.

Their products were all fresh raw materials, and they had just produced and distributed them—how could they possibly have maggots or flies appear in them?

Although the factory was expanding its production capacity, due to the urgency of orders, many still had to be queued up. It was impossible for stock to pile up or for products to expire and spoil.

"Which business partner had the issue?"

"One from Tianma City," a city next to the provincial capital.

"Call them. I want to find out what’s going on," Su Peng said. If there was a problem with product quality, it had to be addressed.

Zhang Keke immediately dialed the partner’s number.

"Mr. Su, what’s with this batch of products? I sold a batch of your goods, and nearly all of them were spoiled, with maggots in many of them. Mr. Su, this is only our second time doing business, and you’re already pulling a fast one. That’s not very decent," the voice on the other end complained.

"Mr. Wang, let’s do this: how much of the problem merchandise is there? I’m going to immediately organize a team to investigate," Su Peng didn’t rush to explain, instead asking about the quantity.

"I ordered twenty-eight boxes in total, distributed ten, only to have half of them returned. I’ve even had customers making a ruckus at my end, and I’ve taken a big loss. Mr. Su, with this kind of issue, we obviously can’t continue our partnership. Not only that, but your factory has to compensate us tenfold for the losses this time. Honestly, even with tenfold compensation, I’m still at a loss—regaining the trust of so many customers will be a problem now," the voice explained.
