The person who came in was indeed tall and muscular.
They were dressed in military green overalls, with dangerous equipment strapped to their waists. Their expressions were serious, and their eyes exuded authority and domineering power. Meeting their eyes, one couldn't help but feel fear at their inherent ferocity.
They all looked at Fu Huaijin with respect, nodded slightly to him in unison, and called out "Young Master" without any emotion.
Upon hearing that it was someone she knew, Su Yuxi's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, settled heavily. She wiped the sweat from her forehead as if to hide her discomfort. As long as it wasn't one of Lu Yunzhou's people, everything else was negotiable.
Fu Huaijin turned to the side, pointed to the boxes scattered haphazardly inside, and ordered in a deep voice, "Move all of those off the floor."
"Yes." The bodyguards, with cold, stern faces, entered in single file, carrying boxes of jewelry away.
Su Yuxi stared blankly as the group carried her belongings out. She wanted to follow, but thinking of the jingling gold jewelry on her body, she stopped and told them to be careful not to bump into anything, especially the gemstones, because if they got scratched, they would be worthless.
However, her worries were completely unfounded. These people are professionals, and their hands are more steady and reliable than anyone else's.
As the boxes on the ground disappeared one by one, Su Yuxi, adorned with gold jewelry, turned and walked up to Fu Huaijin, looking up at him with her big eyes: "When did you bring so many people here?"
To be able to get here in such a short time, they must have been nearby for a while.
Fu Huaijin glanced at them, raised his hand and flicked a silver hairpin in her hair. In order to take more gold jewelry, she had her hair covered with gold and jade ornaments, which made her hair flat. He was speechless and took them all off for her one by one: "They have always been here."
However, they are all hidden in the darkness and will not appear without orders.
In no time at all, Fu Huaijin's hands were full of jewelry.
Su Yuxi wasn't worried about him embezzling, so she took off her rings and bracelets one by one and put them on his hands.
Wearing this thing is terribly choking her, and that five-pound gold chain is almost breaking her neck. If she had no other choice, who would carry so much stuff? This thing is really not fit for human beings.
Fu Huaijin caught the gold jewelry she tossed to him one by one, then tossed it to the bodyguard standing to the side. After she had removed all the jewelry, his gaze fell on her fair and delicate earlobes, where she wore two small hoops and three pairs of earrings.
Su Yuxi would stop at nothing to get more.
He reached out and took it off for her, then tossed it to the bodyguard standing nearby.
After everything was cleaned up, he said, "Let's go back first."
Su Yuxi shook her aching arms, and fearing she might have missed something, she turned back and checked the safe inside and out to make sure there was nothing left in every corner before she was willing to leave.
Just as he reached the lobby, he suddenly stopped, as if he had remembered something. He left with a "Wait a minute" and hurriedly ran upstairs.
A few minutes later, she came running down, panting, clutching a stack of property deeds that seemed to weigh a ton.
This is just a thin piece of paper, but it's worth more than jewelry. It was a gift from Lu Yunzhou, and her name is already written on it. She has to take it.
Fu Huaijin's eyebrows twitched twice. Looking at that greedy, worthless look on his face, he said nothing and turned to walk out the door.
Su Yuxi followed behind happily, her steps becoming much lighter.
The remaining two bodyguards received orders to loot and take away all of Su Yuxi's belongings after they left, especially the photos on that wall that were an eyesore. They took all the single photos, cut the double photos in half, and threw the other half into the trash can.
Some people are destined to break up, so these things don't need to exist.
Before leaving, they deleted all the surveillance footage from the villa. Overnight, the huge villa, which seemed to have fewer things, actually had quite a few things missing.
When the two returned to the manor, it was already five in the morning.
Su Yuxi was in high spirits tonight, with no sign of sleepiness in her eyes.
She counted the returned treasures one by one, confirming that nothing was missing, and finally felt at ease.
Golden light gradually appeared on the horizon outside the window, and the first ray of sunlight hit the treetops. As time went by, it gradually climbed higher and spread across the entire earth.
Meanwhile, Lu Yunzhou, who had been drinking heavily all night, staggered back from outside. His hair was drooping, his clothes were wrinkled, and he had a bit of stubble on his chin. He looked utterly dejected.
As soon as he got home, he collapsed onto the sofa, half-closing his eyes as he stared at the television that hadn't been turned on for six months. He felt like something was missing from the house.
But the hangover from the night before left him with a splitting headache and heavy eyelids. He wanted to get up and see what was wrong, but his brain wouldn't allow it, and he didn't have the strength to get up.
The sound of his mother's weeping and pleading echoed in his ears again, her words replaying in his mind: abandon Su Yuxi, get engaged to Miss Wu, and seize the family inheritance...
These words were like a curse, tormenting him day and night. No one could understand his pain, and he could only numb himself with alcohol.
He also told himself he couldn't think about Su Yuxi anymore and tried to accept other women.
But why does he feel so sad? All he can think about right now is finding Su Yuxi. The moment he has that thought, his mother's mournful cries come out and crush him.
When he was with those women, he couldn't help but compare them to Xixi. After all that comparison, they weren't even as good as Xixi.
"Xixi, where are you? Please come back. I bought you a lot of jewelry, I'll give it all to you... Please come back..." Lu Yunzhou closed his eyes, his thin lips uttering a string of indistinct whispers, the most tender expectation in his heart. The strength in his hand quietly loosened, and the phone fell to the carpet with a dull thud.
The lock screen wallpaper lit up, displaying Su Yuxi's gentle and bright smile.
Just as the screen was about to turn off, the phone clicked and was successfully unlocked. The person then deliberately entered the photo album and found an album exclusively for Su Yuxi.
Upon opening it, I found a collection of photos of Su Yuxi from the past three years. The slider moved rapidly like the wheel of time, and countless expressions, some bright, some melancholic, and some beautiful, flashed by in the interplay of light and shadow.
Finally, the last image was frozen in time, and it was wiped clean with a single click. All the memories of the past three years were instantly erased, and the phone wallpaper was reset to factory settings.
The screen went out, and everything settled down.

Su Yuxi didn't sleep all night; she stubbornly put all her things back in her room.
The safest place to keep your belongings is in your own house; you can't trust anyone else.
After everything was piled up and counted again to make sure nothing was missing, my tense nerves finally relaxed, and I drifted off to sleep.
Half an hour after she fell asleep, the door was quietly opened again.
