Chapter 35
A few days later, the assistant came to Courtyard No. 3 with a thank-you gift.
According to him, the last time under the dual stimulation of Su Yin and Xie Lingxu, Fu Yan's symptoms fluctuated greatly. Experts are evaluating Fu Yan's condition and formulating a new round of treatment plan.
"Mr. Fu thanks you for your help and has prepared a gift for you." The assistant handed over a booklet.
"The matter concerning your parents' accident is still under investigation, and the Fu family has begun interfering with the Chen family's assets. Also, upon hearing that you have lost your memory, President Fu has specially prepared information about your family's situation to help you understand the situation."
There was a hint of pity in the assistant's eyes. Judging from past dealings, although Miss Su's words and actions were often shocking, she was not a bad person at heart.
Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness.
The disease diagnosed as terminal by the dean is definitely not a disease that can be cured. Unexpectedly, she can always remain optimistic and cheerful, and many times people even forget that she is actually suffering from a terminal illness.
Su Yin originally wanted to read the booklet carefully, but his eyes were so strange that she couldn't ignore them.
"Anything else?"
The assistant said carefully, "If you need anything, you can ask us. Although the Fu family is not as authoritative as the Xie family in the field of medical technology, we will do our best to help you."
This is also what Fu Yan meant.
Su Yin: "Ah?"
What is he talking about?
She watched the assistant leave with a confused look on her face, scratched her head, didn't take what she had just said to heart, and jumped back on the sofa on one foot with the booklet in her arms.
The information said that the original owner's mother was a descendant of an old-time jewelry merchant. When she married into the Chen family, she brought a batch of priceless antique jewelry as a dowry. Now those things are kept in a safe entrusted to a special person for safekeeping.
Now, the legitimate right of inheritance is in the hands of Chen.
If anything happens to her, everything will fall into the hands of Chen Xuan and his son.
Su Yin thought, no wonder Chen Xuan arranged for that bald man to rob her and kill her. With such a huge temptation of benefits, they would definitely not let it go.
At the back of this booklet is an introduction to some of the heritage, with pictures, but most of them are secretly taken and are not clear.
People in this time and space seem to be very fond of jade. Except for a small amount of agate gems, almost everything in the booklet is jadeite. Unfortunately, most of the introductions are vague.
But think about it, it's quite impressive that the dowry, which is never shown to anyone, has been brought to this level.
When Xie Lingxu came out of the office, Su Yin was still sitting on the sofa, concentrating on reading the booklet.
He passed by as usual, and the person who usually turned excitedly when he heard the footsteps did not react at all today.
It was rare for her to be so quiet.
Xie Lingxu held the water cup, lowered his head slightly, and stopped suddenly when his eyes fell on a photo.
After a brief moment of lapse, he quickly returned to normal, unnoticed by the man immersed in the material. He gripped the cup tightly in his hand and asked casually, "What is this?"
"The inheritance that Fu Yan investigated." Su Yin was already used to him appearing behind her. She didn't look back, her eyes still glued to the book.
The booklet stopped at a certain page, and there was only a very blurry picture on the entire page. Below the picture was a line of small words introducing it - it was said to be a family heirloom of the Su family, and its authenticity was not yet confirmed.
She looked at it and felt that it looked familiar, but the picture was too blurry and she could only vaguely make out that it was a red object, which seemed to be a piece of blood jade.
Before she could think of anything, her attention was once again taken away by the man behind her.
He said, "It's time to eat."
She looked up at the clock. It was half past eleven, time for dinner.
Each courtyard in the sanatorium has its own kitchen, but in order not to disturb the patients, it is not located inside the courtyard.
Su Yin had a regular schedule, and the kitchen staff had already prepared the food. As soon as she rang the bell, someone came in with a food cart, put several dishes on the table in an orderly manner, and then quietly left.
She casually closed the booklet, jumped up from the sofa, and hopped on one foot to the dining table. She was like a clumsy rabbit, jumping crookedly as if she would fall at any second.
Xie Lingxu followed her gaze, and the moment she leaned to the left, he subconsciously reached out and held her arm.
The next second, Su Yin regained her balance by herself. She realized that he was holding her and turned her head away in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Xie Lingxu let go of his hand with a normal expression, "Not done yet?"
He asked about the injury on her foot, and Su Yin answered truthfully, "It's almost healed. There's just a cut left, and it's not very comfortable to step on."
Xie Lingxu: "Yeah."
The hands behind his back were not as calm as on his face. After touching her fingertips, he unconsciously gathered them together and twisted them.
After realizing what he had done, he suddenly let go of his hand and stared at his fingers as if he were a traitor.
Su Yin sat on the chair and was about to start eating when she realized that Xie Lingxu was still standing there like a stone statue, wondering what he was thinking.
She was stunned for a moment, then looked at the table full of food and asked tentatively, "Do you want to eat with me?"
She remembered that this man had just said not long ago that he would not have dinner with her.
Xie Lingxu came back to his senses and his eyes quickly swept across the booklet that was casually placed on the coffee table. He didn't hear clearly what she said and responded casually.
Su Yin muttered, "Your expression changes so quickly."
Then he asked someone to bring another set of bowls and chopsticks.
She didn't care much about it. There were already a lot of dishes cooked in the kitchen, and it would be a waste to leave any leftovers, so it was just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks.
The staff who brought the dishes and chopsticks even moved a chair out for the dean.
Xie Lingxu:?
He raised his hand to stop her, "No need, I won't have lunch in Courtyard No. 3."
The employee was stunned and subconsciously looked at Su Yin.
The latter's expression has changed.
There was so much trouble just eating. Su Yin felt like she was being fooled. "Didn't you just agree to have dinner with me?"
Xie Lingxu hesitated: "Me?"
She said unhappily, "What else?"
“…It’s me.”
Remembering his earlier distraction, he quickly corrected himself, "Sorry."
Su Yin sighed and didn't argue with him. She picked up the bowl again and saw that he was still standing there stupidly, so she asked, "Are you going to eat or not?"
Xie Lingxu hesitated for a moment, sat on the dining chair, picked up the chopsticks hesitantly, looked around, and fell silent.
All the dishes on this table were prepared according to Suyin's taste. She likes spicy food and strong flavors. Among the red and oily table, there are only one or two plates of light vegetarian dishes made for balanced nutrition.
Someone who has never had a strong appetite and eats light food can hardly pick up his chopsticks.
In the past, in the world of immortal cultivation, he never ate at the same table with others. Not to mention eating from the same plate, just sitting with others and hearing them chewing and swallowing was enough to make people lose the desire to eat.
What's more, they were eating opposite each other this time, so Xie Lingxu could clearly see what dishes Su Yin picked up and what expression she had when she swallowed.
She had just put a piece of rabbit meat in her mouth, her cheeks puffed up, and she chewed it like a hamster eating. When she noticed her sight, she stopped abruptly and looked at herself with wide eyes in confusion.
...It doesn't seem as hard to accept as I imagined.
"Is it tasty?"
He heard himself ask.
The girl opposite didn't seem to react. She puffed her cheeks and nodded reflexively.
Xie Lingxu withdrew his gaze, stretched out the chopsticks that had not been used for a long time, and picked up a piece of rabbit meat with chopsticks.
The glossy color was inconsistent with the white rice in the bowl. He hesitated for a moment and put it into his mouth.
It's really not as hard to accept as I imagined.
Su Yin looked at it in surprise. Based on the man's slow eating speed, it would take him a long time to be full.
She glanced up and down at the man sitting opposite her. Although he was slow, he was a pleasure to watch while eating, and his every move was elegant.
The fiery gaze was impossible to ignore, but Xie Lingxu remained calm, "What? Can the patient really be satisfied just by watching me eat?"
The familiar words awakened a memory deep in Su Yin's mind. She had previously said that Xie Lingxu was a beauty to behold in order to tease him...
I looked at Xie Lingxu's face again. The last time I had dinner with him, I was so angry just looking at this face that I couldn't eat at all.
This time...it seems to be really delicious.
She held her chin with one hand, put down the chopsticks in her hand, and stared at him straight.
He didn't play by the rules at all. Xie Lingxu probably understood what it meant to shoot himself in the foot.
He swallowed the food in his mouth with some difficulty, his Adam's apple rolling, and he hesitated to pick up some more food.
Then I heard the man's puzzled voice, "Aren't you allergic to greens?"
Xie Lingxu's hand trembled, and the tender green vegetable he had just picked up fell back into the plate.
Forget about it.
