Chapter 83
After the people in Courtyard No. 4 left, the sanatorium suddenly became much quieter.
It was still early in the night when Su Yin walked to the gate of Courtyard No. 2 and discovered that the two bodyguards who usually stood guard like door gods were gone.
She pointed to the empty seat and asked her assistant, "Where are those two people in black?"
The assistant smiled slightly, "Boss Fu has transferred them to the nursing home where the master and the mistress are staying. After comprehensive evaluation, the master and the mistress need them more."
As for whether it is to guard against outsiders or people inside, I won’t say more.
No one was blocking the door, and Su Yin immediately understood, "It seems that Fu Yan's condition has improved."
"You'll know when you go in and take a look." The assistant kept her in suspense.
"It's so mysterious."
Su Yin muttered something and strode into the door of Courtyard No. 2.
Hurry up, she wanted to go back early to see if she could trick Xie Lingxu into bed tonight.
Not only were the two bodyguards outside Courtyard No. 2 missing, but there were also fewer bodyguards inside the yard.
The bluestone road is brightly lit, as if welcoming the arrival of newcomers.
Su Yin was always rude. As she pushed the door open, she started yelling, "Why did you ask me to come here alone in such a mysterious way?"
The living room was very quiet, with clean cold light shining on the minimalist furniture, giving off an inexplicable sense of alienation and indifference.
A man was sitting on the sofa, holding a newspaper in his hand and flipping through it casually.
Su Yin stared at the man and stopped in his tracks.
Who is this?
Fu Yan???
She rubbed her eyes. Is this still the Fu Yan who always talks about women?
She stopped and stared for too long, long enough for Fu Yan to finish reading the rest of the financial news.
He put down the newspaper and invited naturally: "Why don't you come and sit?"
The assistant retreated silently.
Su Yin still found it unbelievable, so she walked over, circled around him several times, and looked him up and down again.
"How are you?"
Fu Yan allowed her to look at him openly. "As you can see, it's probably true."
"If it's fine, it's fine. If it's not fine, it's not fine. There's no such thing as an approximation." Su Yin curled her lips and sat down next to him.
She measured the distance between them with her eyes, and after a while, there was no change. "It seems that he is indeed healed, otherwise you would have pounced on me by now."
"Congratulations."
"You've played a much bigger role in treatment than I could have imagined."
Fu Yan, after recovering from his illness, was completely different from when he was ill. He was polite and measured in his actions.
"According to the spirit of the contract, I should also pay an equal price."
He was frank, "But to be honest, I can't find a reward that can match it. The fact that I recovered is a miracle to me."
Su Yin listened but did not express any opinion.
If someone wants to give more, she can't stop him.
"Besides expressing my gratitude, I also wanted to ask you to come here today for something."
Fu Yan turned on the projection.
A huge picture was projected on the white wall, and a piece of peculiarly shaped red jade lay quietly in the center of the picture.
"This is..." Su Yin identified it and dug out the impression of this thing from the corner of her memory, "Oh, heritage."
"Due to pressure from both the Fu and Xie families, as well as the recent entry of the Tian and Gu families, your uncle's company is already heavily in debt. So they're auctioning off your inheritance in an attempt to fill the gap."
Fu Yan's words were concise and to the point.
"I called you here so late because the auction is starting now."
As his voice fell, the projected scene instantly switched to the scene of the auction.
The host opened the silk package layer by layer, revealing the blood-red ruby inside bit by bit.
Su Yin stared at the scene intently, and some images in his mind gradually overlapped with it.
It’s this thing!
The thing that caused her to be chased for days and nights and took her through another world!
The mystery of the matter was finally revealed, and Su Yin's fingers almost scratched the leather of the sofa.
"What's wrong?" Fu Yan noticed her abnormality and asked her.
"I want this." Su Yin took a deep breath and calmed down. "You want to repay me, right? Give me this and we'll be even."
Fu Yan did not hesitate to direct the bids online and asked, "Is it important to you?"
“Very important.”
Suyin repeated.
"It's important for the rest of your life."
Fu Yan did not ask any further questions, but just quietly increased the price he paid each time he raised his hand.
After a while, he said, "Someone is robbing."
Now, there are only two parties left competing for the blood jade.
The current auction price of this jade has far exceeded its value.
Fu Yan didn't care about the auction figures, but just reminded: "Most of this money will flow into the Chen family's pockets."
Although Suyin didn't have a deep understanding of money in this world, he knew that their current bid was outrageous.
She gritted her teeth and asked, "Can I know who is robbing the other side?"
"No." Fu Yan quickly explained, "Anonymous bidding is the rule in the industry and it's completely confidential."
A piece of jade with a starting price of one million has now soared to tens of billions of yuan due to the continuous bidding by both parties. If the bidding continues at this rate, it will reach tens of billions of yuan.
Not only will it allow the Chen family to continue living comfortably, but it will also cause Fu Yan to bleed heavily.
After all, it's not her money.
Su Yin closed her eyes, not knowing what kind of mood she was in, and softly uttered three words: "Stop filming."
Fu Yan looked at her silently.
"Let it be." Su Yin didn't want to see the blood jade fall into the hands of others, so she turned her head away.
Maybe this thing is destined not to belong to her.
"In that case, I'll be leaving first."
Su Yin couldn't describe how she felt right now, she just wanted to snuggle into bed and wanted Xie Lingxu to hug her.
For the first time in his life, Fu Yan felt the embarrassment of not having enough money. "I'm sorry."
"No need to apologize, it's not your fault." Su Yin didn't turn around, but walked slowly with tired feet.
The street lights stretched her shadow very long, and looking at her from afar, there was an indescribable loneliness.
Fu Yan withdrew his gaze, raised his head and fell on the sofa.

Courtyard No. 3.
Xie Lingxu, who was waiting for Su Yin to come back, heard her footsteps the first time, but what followed was a nasal shout.
"Xie Lingxu..."
He took a few steps to Su Yin's side, grasped both of her hands, held her in his arms, and asked in a low voice: "Did he bully you?"
"No, no, he's recovered."
Su Yin could still hold on, but after feeling his soothing warmth on her back, her nose felt sore and she couldn't bear it any longer.
"Xie Lingxu, I feel so uncomfortable..."
Her tears flowed out uncontrollably like a dam bursting.
This was the first time she was so sad that she cried. Xie Lingxu had no time to care about the reason. His heart seemed to be soaked in her tears, feeling tight, sour, and painful.
This time, Su Yin couldn't say anything.
In the past, Su Yin could talk about her past as much as she wanted and continue to be the young master of the sect. But now, no one knew who had the blood jade, and she felt deeply that there was no going back.
She was in a strange world, she had no home anymore.
Tears soaked Xie Lingxu's shirt, and he had no choice but to hug the person tightly to comfort her.
At this time, asking for the reason will cause secondary harm.
Time passed little by little, but Su Yin still couldn't calm down.
Xie Lingxu couldn't bear to look at her red and swollen eyes, and comforted her clumsily: "Don't cry, don't cry..."
"I don't want to cry, but Xie Lingxu, I feel so bad..."
The more he comforted her, the more Su Yin's heart ached, and she couldn't control her tears anymore. In the end, Xie Lingxu's shirt was completely wet.
Xie Lingxu tore off a few tissues and gently wiped her tears, then unbuttoned her shirt with one hand, fearing that her clothes would get wet and make her feel uncomfortable.
Because she was so sad, Su Yin didn't even pay attention to the scene of her tears flowing down the grooves of his abdominal muscles.
Through her blurred vision, she seemed to see a red mole on Xie Lingxu's neck.
It looks so familiar.
But the feeling of sadness always filled my mind, and the thought only flashed through my mind.
In the end, Su Yin leaned weakly on Xie Lingxu's chest, her eyes closed, but tears still welled up at the corners of her eyes.
Xie Lingxu picked her up and carried her sideways, putting her back on the bed in the bedroom. As soon as he let go, she grabbed his wrist tightly.
He sat on the edge of the bed, letting her hold onto his hand with one hand, and patting her back gently with the other hand to comfort her, over and over again, for most of the night.
He didn't stop until Su Yin fell asleep and let go of his hand, and then he quietly left the room.
Xie Lingxu picked up his cell phone from the coffee table. It had been on silent for a long time and had three missed calls on it.
Finally, a message -
Young Master, the collection you purchased has been expedited to the nursing home.
