Chapter 894 Check-in

The vast majority of the assets that Dad took were equity-based assets.

His real estate holdings have remained largely untouched.

"So you're letting me stay here for free?" Wen Qingyi didn't believe in free lunches. "Tell me your conditions."

If he lends it to her for free, then Xu Chen will definitely make some demands on her.

She didn't believe in free lunches.

Xu Chen appreciated her sensibility: "In that case, if you work for me, you'll have to cut off all ties with everything in China. Can you do that?"

"Why are you threatening me too?" Wen Qingyi's face darkened immediately. "Xu Chen, we've known each other for quite some time now. You should know that I hate being threatened the most."

Being threatened by her father was one thing, but after all, he was her biological father, and she couldn't say anything.

But she could not tolerate Xu Chen's threats even more!

She had always treated him as a friend, how could he treat her like this?

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen calmly retorted, "Do you think I'm threatening you?"

Wen Qingyi didn't speak, but her expression was enough to show that this was what she thought.

“Wen Qingyi, to be honest with you, I only agreed to let you stay by my side as my assistant because your father asked me to.” Xu Chen explained slowly, “So all your expenses in New York will ultimately be covered by your father, so you don’t need to think too much about it.”

Wen Qingyi seemed to understand something and pressed on, "So, you only agreed to help my father by not asking me to pay rent? You didn't have any other motives?"

Is she really overthinking things?

“Of course.” Xu Chen answered crisply, without any hesitation: “If you want to pay rent, that’s fine too, anyway, your father will pay for it in the end.”

Hearing this, Wen Qingyi finally felt relieved: "Okay, tell me where your house is, and I can go there now."

"I'll take you there and help you find your way."

With that, Xu Chen got up, grabbed his car keys, and left.

Wen Qingyi followed closely behind him, arriving at apartment 212, located on the west side of 18th Avenue in Lower Manhattan.

This is a high-rise residential complex, and it is a typical large-floor apartment.

Xu Chen showed her around the neighborhood before leading her inside.

"This house is 648 square meters in total, which is not particularly big for you."

Xu Chen knew she was used to living in a villa: "Just make do with it."

Wen Qingyi became more and more satisfied as she looked at the house: "For me, I am already very satisfied to be able to live in a house like this."

"The password is my birthday. You can use whatever you want here. If you need more, you can add more yourself." Xu Chen instructed, "You can rest here today. Please report to the personnel department of Lu's Bank at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Okay, don't worry."

After explaining everything, Xu Chen turned and left.

...

The following day.

Central Park Apartments.

“President Bo, I have done as you wished and sent my daughter to Young Master Xu’s side, so that she can break off her contact with Gong Lian.”

On the other end of the phone came Grandpa Wen's voice.

Bo Jinyan listened with satisfaction: "Thank you, Elder Wen. Don't worry, I will have someone keep an eye on your Wen family's tourism development projects in the mainland. Nothing will go wrong."

"Thank you, Mr. Bo."

After hanging up the phone, Sang Ruo asked him, "Was that Grandpa Wen calling? Has Wen Qingyi arrived in New York?"

“That’s right, everything is going according to my plan.” As Bo Jinyan spoke, he noticed her uneasy expression and comforted her, “Xiao Ruo, don’t worry, I won’t give Wen Qingyi another chance to hurt you.”

Sang Ruo was still very worried: "Ayan, I believe in your abilities, but I don't believe in Wen Qingyi."

There was nothing she could do; Wen Qingyi had committed too many wrongdoings in the past, and she had long since stopped trusting her.

Even though she was already with Gong Lian, she felt that Wen Qingyi might not have given up on A Yan.

That's what made her feel uneasy.

“I sent Wen Qingyi to New York to deal with the Xu family, so you don’t need to be afraid.”

Bo Jin reached out and pulled her into his arms, offering her the strongest support with his chest.

He knew that Wen Qingyi had hurt her deeply, and all the things Wen Qingyi had done to her in the past had almost become her nightmares, from which she could not escape.

He was determined to make Wen Qingyi the knife in his hand that would stab his uncle in the heart.

It made them feel as uncomfortable as if they had swallowed a fly!

And by the way, give Wen Qingyi a warning.

Killing two birds with one stone.

Hearing his pounding heart, Sang Ruo felt much more at ease: "Ayan, I believe in you."

The two cuddled together in the living room for a while before Sang Ruo lifted her head from his embrace, not forgetting to straighten his tie: "Alright, Ayan, you should hurry up and go to work, don't be late."

Bo Jinyan lowered his head and kissed her pink lips before saying, "I'm leaving now."

"Okay, go quickly."

Sang Ruo watched him leave, and only after the door closed did she send the design she had drawn the night before to Chen Anni.

Chen Anni called her via voice call an hour later.

"Xiao Ruo, why haven't you sent back the jade carvings you asked me to send before? It's been so long! The jade carving design exhibition should be over by now, right?"

Sang Ruo sighed, "Annie, those jade carvings are gone forever. The only one I have right now is the person in the cage who won the grand prize. I risked my life to save him."

Otherwise, this most important award-winning work in her jade carving design career would probably be snatched away by those people.

In order to protect this only remaining jade carving, she even injured her arm, which has not yet healed.

"What happened?" Chen Anni asked, her heart pounding. "Did something happen to your jade carving design exhibition?"

Sang Ruo recounted the shooting incident she had witnessed that day in detail.

"How could such a shooting happen? Who did it?" Chen Anni's heart sank to the bottom. "Xiao Ruo, hasn't Bo Jinyan found out who did it?"

And how long has she been in the US? How could something like this happen?

How exactly did Bo Jinyan protect her?!

Sang Ruo's voice remained calm: "We found out, and he helped me get revenge, but all those jade carvings have been looted and can't be sent back."

She felt heartbroken whenever she thought about the jade carvings that had been stolen.

Those jade carvings were all her hard work, created by her own hands! So many days and nights, countless hours of dedication, and all that she put in to create them—and they were all looted!

She was truly heartbroken.

"It's alright, Xiaoruo," Chen Anni comforted her. "I've kept all the design drawings for those jade carvings safe and sound. I can even have the jade carving team create identical pieces based on the original designs. It shouldn't be discovered."
