My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 122 - 121 The Cunning Fox

Su Zhentian lay on the hospital bed, staring unblinkingly at Su Xiaorou: "Tell me, do you actually like Gao Fei or not?"

"I... I don't know." Su Xiaorou shook her head.

"Don't know?" Su Zhentian furrowed his brows: "What does that mean! If you like someone, you like them, if you don't, you don't. How can you not know?"

"I really don't know." Su Xiaorou's voice was somewhat bitter: "I admit... I have a good impression of Gao Fei, but... I don't know what to say... I am also very confused right now, really very confused..." The way Gao Fei made her feel was special, and she felt comfortable being with him, but whether this was love or not, Su Xiaorou couldn't be sure.

"I understand." Su Zhentian nodded: "You have a good impression of Gao Fei, but it hasn't reached the point of liking him, or to say, it's just missing a little bit from liking. Am I right?"

"Dad, why are you asking this?" Su Xiaorou asked.

"Xiaorou, tell me, if you continue to interact with Gao Fei, will you fall in love with him?"

"Dad..."

"Answer me! Tell the truth, don't lie to me!"

"I... I don't know..."

"Not denying it is the same as admitting it." Su Zhentian nodded: "It seems that you really have a good impression of Gao Fei." He paused here and then said: "Xiaorou, after going through this life-and-death experience, I suddenly realized something."

"What?" Su Xiaorou asked, puzzled.

Su Zhentian let out a heavy sigh: "Nothing is as important as life."

"Right." Su Xiaorou nodded: "The most important thing is life."

Su Zhentian was silent for a moment, then spoke: "How does Gao Fei treat you? Or should I say, does Gao Fei like you? Answer me, because this answer is very important to me, it directly relates to my subsequent arrangements."

"I don't know." Su Xiaorou shook her head: "Gao Fei has never expressed any feelings towards me, but... he treats me alright, at least he cares about whether I live or die... and he has a very high tolerance for me..."

"If it wasn't for my meddling at the start, you and Gao Fei might already be together," Su Zhentian remarked.

"Dad, what's gotten into you today? Why ask these things?" Su Xiaorou was filled with confusion and incomprehension.

"I admit, I indeed underestimated Gao Fei," Su Zhentian said slowly: "If I could do it all over again, I definitely wouldn't look down on him, nor would I have driven him out of Bright Pearl City."

"Dad, let's not talk about the past anymore." Su Xiaorou said softly.

"When I was fit and healthy, I was no match for Gao Fei, and now that I'm paralyzed in bed, I'm even less of a match for him." Su Zhentian said with a wry smile: "I'm not afraid though, the worst that could happen is bankruptcy, becoming a pauper, but you can't... I can't drag you down with me..."

"Dad..."

"Let me finish speaking! Xiaorou, I've thought it through, I've decided to transfer all my property into your name."

"Ah! Dad, you can't do this."

"Don't try to persuade me, my mind is made up." Su Zhentian lifted his head to look at Su Xiaorou: "Do you know why I am doing this?" Without waiting for Su Xiaorou to reply, Su Zhentian continued: "I'm betting on Gao Fei's feelings for you!

If Gao Fei really likes you, or has a good impression of you, then he definitely won't make things difficult for you, and in the future, the Su Group will be safe."

"Dad, you..."

"Get in touch with the lawyer immediately, handle this matter today." Su Zhentian's tone was resolute.

This was the best solution Su Zhentian had come up with so far, capable of saving the Su Group and protecting Su Xiaorou—a perfect plan. Of course, there was one assumption: that Gao Fei couldn't bring himself to harm Su Xiaorou. If this assumption wasn't true, then all efforts would be in vain.

That night, Su Zhentian processed the property transfer, moving all the assets registered in his name into Su Xiaorou's. From then on, Su Xiaorou became a bona fide billionaire, but also shouldered a huge debt.

Su Zhentian held Su Xiaorou's slightly cold hand: "I believe you can solve all difficulties, and I have greater faith that your life will be happy and blissful."

...

"Brother Fei, big news! Huge news!" Early in the morning, Lu Hao ran into Gao Fei's room, all flustered: "Just got word that Su Zhentian had a stroke and has been hospitalized. After emergency treatment, his life was saved, but he ended up with hemiplegia."

Gao Fei was stunned: "A stroke? Hemiplegia? Is the news reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable!" Lu Hao nodded vigorously: "It's all over the news now. Oh, and there's another piece of even more explosive information that will surely surprise you."

"What news?"

"Su Zhentian transferred all his assets under Su Xiaorou's name, now Su Xiaorou has become a billionaire with assets worth tens of billions, while Su Zhentian has become a pauper."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, absolutely certain! I've verified it; it's true."

Gao Fei's eyebrows twisted together. What tricks was Su Zhentian playing? Why was he transferring assets at this time? Could it be that he wanted to dodge debts this way? It was impossible through the bank because the loan was taken out in the name of the Su Group. Even if the Su Group changed hands, the bank would still pursue the loan.

But... The Dongfang Fengyun's debt was another matter. Since Su Zhentian had borrowed the money in his own name, it was unrelated to the Su Group...

After figuring all this out, Gao Fei cursed, "What a sly old fox."

"Brother Fei, I think Su Zhentian's move is very clever," Lu Hao said with a sneaky smile. "It's just too smart."

"Oh?" Gao Fei lifted his eyelid. "You thought of it too?"

"Yeah." Lu Hao nodded his head. "Who am I? I'm the foremost young master of the capital, famous for being clever…"

"Then tell me, what did you think of?" Gao Fei asked.

"With all the industries transferred to Su Xiaorou's name, given your relationship with Su Xiaorou, you definitely won't lay a hand on her. In this way, the Su Group will be preserved. As long as the Su Group is intact, then Su Zhentian can continue living a carefree life, but it's tough on Su Xiaorou."

Gao Fei was stunned. It took him a while to recover. He hadn't thought of this aspect. The players were indeed blinded while the bystanders saw the whole game. After Lu Hao reminded him, Gao Fei instantly became enlightened. Su Zhentian was far too cunning, so cunning that it was boundless.

No wonder he was able to build such a large enterprise. He really had some tricks up his sleeve.

"Brother Fei, is my analysis correct?" Lu Hao smiled and said.

Gao Fei glanced at Lu Hao, "What relationship do I have with Su Xiaorou? Why wouldn't I make a move against her?"

"Er... Aren't you and Su Xiaorou, you know..."

"Which know?"

"You know, the thing between a man and a woman."

"Nonsense." Gao Fei glared at Lu Hao. "There's nothing between me and Su Xiaorou, nothing has happened."

"That can't be right." Lu Hao looked at Gao Fei with a scrutinizing gaze. "I clearly noticed... there's something odd about the way Su Xiaorou looks at you, and the way you look at her. There definitely is something between you two."

"You must have vision problems," Gao Fei cursed.

"What do you mean? I'm not blind..." Lu Hao protested.

"Enough, get out if you have nothing else, give me some peace," Gao Fei said impatiently, waving him off. Only Gao Fei would dare to chase away Lu Hao with that tone. In all of Bright Pearl City, Gao Fei was probably the only one.

"Brother Fei, what are you planning to do?" Lu Hao lingered, not leaving. "How about I give you a suggestion? Marry Su Xiaorou and then take over the Su Group. It's a classic case of gaining both the girl and the wealth... Hey, hey, hey, don't push me. I can leave on my own..."

"Bang!"

Gao Fei pushed Lu Hao out of the door, then closed it. Without Lu Hao's incessant chattering, Gao Fei finally got some peace. He frowned slightly, lost in thought. Ah, that's right, how could he have forgotten this? It was very likely that Su Zhentian was faking his illness to avoid his revenge. Hmm, it was a high possibility indeed.

Let's go to the hospital and have a look. If Su Zhentian dares to fake an illness to deceive him, hmph, he'll make sure Su Zhentian stays in the hospital forever.

After making up his mind, Gao Fei opened the door and walked out.

...

Half an hour later, Gao Fei arrived at the hospital.

"Gao Fei? What are you doing here?" Su Xiaorou's face was full of surprise.

Gao Fei glanced at Su Xiaorou and then turned his attention to Su Zhentian. After scrutinizing him for a few moments, Gao Fei's eyebrows began to furrow. Su Zhentian was genuinely sick, and seriously so. If nothing unexpected happened, he would spend the second half of his life in a wheelchair.

"You're here to gloat, aren't you?" Su Zhentian said with a cold tone.

"Yes." Gao Fei did not deny it. "I am here to gloat. When I heard you were sick and hospitalized, and even paralyzed, I can't tell you how happy I was."

"Gao Fei, don't upset my dad anymore. He's already quite miserable." Su Xiaorou spoke urgently.

"He's miserable?" Gao Fei snorted coldly. "He brought this on himself!"

"Gao Fei..." Su Xiaorou started to speak but was stopped by Su Zhentian.

"Xiaorou, go out. Let me talk to Gao Fei alone," Su Zhentian said.

"Dad..."

"Don't worry. I will face Gao Fei calmly. I won't get agitated or angry." Su Zhentian squeezed out a smile on his face. "After a brush with death, I've come to terms with everything. Go out, it'll be fine."

Su Xiaorou hesitated for a moment, then slowly left the ward. However, she didn't go far and stayed outside the door, ready to rush in at the slightest noise.

Once Su Xiaorou had left, the smile on Su Zhentian's face slowly faded away. He lifted his head and looked at Gao Fei, "I was planning to find an opportunity to talk to you. I didn't expect you to show up on your own. Well, that saves me quite a bit of trouble."

"Talk to me?" Gao Fei scoffed. "Talk about what?"
