Chapter 84
She cried so hard the night before that when Su Yin woke up at noon the next day, her eyes were red and swollen.
She sat up, hugged her knees, and looked outside with unfocused eyes.
The door lock clicked, and Xie Lingxu silently pushed open the door, and what came into his sight was a blank and expressionless figure sitting there.
His heart felt like it was pricked by a needle.
Su Yin heard the voice, but did not turn around, and remained motionless in that position.
A warm chest pressed close to her, and a big hand wrapped around her shoulders.
"Are your eyes hurting?" Xie Lingxu whispered in her ear, and with his other hand he took out a cold compress eye mask. "Put it on, it'll feel better."
Su Yin then moved, turned her face towards him, and closed her eyes.
Xie Lingxu gently placed the eye patch on her eyes without tying the straps. Instead, he held it up himself, occasionally moving it away a little, for fear that it would freeze her if he kept it on for too long.
Su Yin leaned her head on his shoulder, and the discomfort in her eyes gradually eased.
She took a long breath.
It's a new day.
Seeing that her complexion had improved, Xie Lingxu said, "Your uncle and his family will be coming today. If you don't want to see them, just close the sanatorium's airport again."
Su Yin's hand covered Xie Lingxu's hand, "No need, let them come."
It just so happened that she was in a bad mood, and they bumped into each other.
"Okay." Xie Lingxu kissed the top of her head and obeyed her unconditionally.
The feeling of lips touching hair was very light, but Su Yin could now quickly recognize that it was him kissing her.
She only needed to raise her chin slightly, and the next second, a warm and soft touch fell on her lips.
A dragonfly kiss lightly on the water, without desire, only tenderness and comfort.
After calming down, Su Yin took off the blindfold and said, "I'm hungry, thank you Lingxu."
Xie Lingxu took a look at her eyes, which were much better than before, and took off the ice eye mask. "Lunch is ready in the kitchen."
He sent a message to the kitchen.
The professionals quickly delivered lunch to the dining table in Courtyard No. 3 and left quickly without disturbing anyone inside.
When Su Yin came out after washing up, the room was empty, with only Xie Lingxu serving her food.
“It’s so quiet.”
In the past, Gu Qian'an and Tian Xiaozong came to Courtyard No. 3, and occasionally the assistant and Dabai would come to visit. After getting used to that kind of hustle and bustle, Su Yin is still a little uncomfortable with the quietness now.
Xie Lingxu said calmly: "Fu Yan left the sanatorium this morning."
"He left too?" Su Yin was slightly surprised by the speed.
She wasn't too surprised. After seeing him last night, she knew he would leave sooner or later.
Now that I'm recovered, there's no reason for me to stay any longer.
Su Yin counted the courtyards and said, "Then only... Courtyard No. 1 is left, right?"
"Um."
“Did they follow up after receiving the evidence?”
Xie Lingxu shook his head, "I didn't pay attention."
He didn't care about other people's affairs at all. Su Yin knew it, but she wanted to know the follow-up, so she picked up a piece of meat for him with her chopsticks and said, "Then go and pay attention to it now."
Xie Lingxu calmly put the piece of red oil rabbit meat she had picked up into his mouth, picked up his phone with one hand, downloaded an entertainment app on the spot, skipped all the registration procedures, opened the search directly, and entered the three words "Ji Qingqing".
Finally, he placed the phone in front of Su Yin.
This whole process left Su Yin stunned.
She just lowered her head as he moved, and a line of bold headlines jumped into her eyes.
[Shocking news! A woman who is a top internet influencer has a hidden story behind her scandal!]
Su Yin, who was self-taught, clicked on the news. The moment the video started playing, the ancient people were so shocked that the meat on their chopsticks fell off.
She stared at the person on the screen without blinking, and didn't even hear what Xie Lingxu said next to her. She only heard a burst of chatter.
The video sorted out the causes and consequences of the Ji Qingqing incident, and also provided evidence for comparison. Finally, it showed Ji Qingqing's mental illness diagnosis.
The comments section was flooded with apologies.
Suyin browsed the comment section for a long time.
Xie Lingxu observed her expression and calmly probed, "Would you like those misunderstandings to be exposed like this?"
Su Yin looked up at him, her expression calm, "No need."
"The foundation of our existence has never been the opinions and evaluations of outsiders. Moreover, sometimes misunderstandings can also be a deterrent and a protection."
After she answered, it suddenly occurred to her that he must be asking about her original body.
"Well, the matter of the car accident and the inheritance still needs to be clarified."
"Okay." Xie Lingxu agreed as usual, with his eyelashes drooping and the expression in his eyes unclear.
Su Yin returned the phone to him and asked, "Ji Qingqing's matter has been clarified, then what?"
Xie Lingxu glanced at the message that just popped up, "We are looking for a legal team to sue the malicious rumormongers."
“That’s the way you deal with it here.”
Could this really offset the damage she had suffered? Su Yin was genuinely confused.
She didn't like this. She preferred the eye-for-an-eye revenge of the immortal world.
Just like her original body's entire family was dead, she could not accept any other punishment except paying with her life.
Su Yin glanced at Xie Lingxu and opened her mouth to express her thoughts, but then she changed her mind and realized that Xie Lingxu was from this world and was different, so she swallowed the words back.
In the end, he only uttered: "Then she should be leaving here soon."
"Anytime, it just depends on whether she wants to." Xie Lingxu didn't mind the fact that the sanatorium was almost empty.
"Then you, as the dean, have no money to earn."
"It's okay." Xie Lingxu wanted to give her his bank card, but suddenly remembered that she was not familiar with this kind of thing, so he had to give up.
"Do you need a cell phone?"
Su Yin paused for a few seconds, put one hand on her abdomen, and then shook her head.
Xie Lingxu noticed her movements and asked, "Are you full?"
"Yeah." Su Yin stood up. "I'm going to sleep for a while. Remember to call me when Chen comes."
"good."
*
Near dusk, Xie Lingxu woke Su Yin up.
"Are they coming?"
"Yes, in the dean's office."
Su Yin suddenly woke up, got out of bed and walked out, "Why are you there? This place has just been cleaned up. I brought a lot of bad luck in."
Xie Lingxu followed behind and took a coat for her. "It's okay. If you don't like it, just rebuild it."
Su Yin slowed down her pace and stared at him suspiciously, "Is this some new excuse you're trying to come up with to blame me?"
Xie Lingxu raised the corners of his lips slightly, took a half step forward and clasped her hand, "You won't let me?"
Su Yin shook their holding hands and said, "It depends on your performance."
When they arrived at the dean's office, the two were still holding hands.
The door of the dean's office was wide open, and the living room inside could be seen at a glance. Three people were sitting on the wooden sofa, and there was something squarely wrapped on the tea table in front.
Su Yin had seen one of the three people before, Chen Xuan, who had been beaten by her. The remaining two were older and looked like his parents.
"I knew it!"
As soon as they entered the room, Chen Xuan pointed at the two people's clasped hands and shouted, "I knew you two were having an affair. Mr. Xie, a doctor, having an affair with a patient, do you have any medical ethics?"
"She's still a psychopath!"
What did he say last time? These two are really together!
Su Yin: "None of your business."
"Xiaoyin, why have you become so rude?"
Chen Xuan's father, Chen Lang, Su Yin's uncle, spoke.
After scolding Su Yin, he continued to point the finger at Xie Lingxu, "Nephew Xie, Xiaoyin has only been here for a year, and she's already lost all her manners. Is this how you treat people here?"
Xie Lingxu's thin lips moved slightly, and he uttered four words indifferently: "Who is your nephew?"
Chen Lang's expression suddenly darkened.
Chen Xuan pouted, "Two kinds of people can sleep in the same bed."
"Who said that?" Su Yin stretched out a finger and shook it left and right. "These two mice shared the same quilt, but they still gave birth to a pig like you."
This is a blatant break-up.
They were completely different people from before. Chen Lang looked at Su Yin in surprise and suspicion, as if he was looking at a stranger.
"What did I say, Dad? She's really crazy!" Chen Xuan pointed at Su Yin and yelled, "Look at her now, she looks like she's possessed by a ghost!"
Don't mention it, this description is quite appropriate. Su Yin smiled sinisterly, "How do you know I'm not?"
Combined with her slightly gloomy double moles, the effect was maximized, and Chen Xuan subconsciously took a step back.
He suddenly remembered how badly she had beaten him, and he regained his composure. He shouted in a loud voice, "Who are you trying to scare?"
Su Yin just smiled.
The smile is particularly creepy.
Chen Xuan wasn't afraid of ghosts and gods, but the woman was indeed evil after she went crazy. The pain of her punches on the flesh still made him break into cold sweats when he recalled it.
The more panicked he was, the more irritated he became. Thinking about the anger he hadn't let out before, the nameless anger in Chen Xuan's heart grew stronger and stronger.
"Stop laughing!" He grabbed something on the tea table and threw it at Su Yin without thinking.
The unknown object came flying towards her head. Su Yin's expression remained unchanged, and she quickly turned sideways. The box of things brushed past her hair and flew out, finally hitting the door frame and falling heavily to the ground.
The contents of the box revealed their true form during this violent movement. First, a few pieces of broken jade chips fell off, and then the whole thing rolled out.
The blood-red jade rolled out of the carpet, spun around, and finally stopped on the floor.
In the blink of an eye, the whole audience fell silent.
Everyone knows it.
The inheritance of Su Yin's mother's family, the treasure that fell into the hands of the Chen family, the item that was auctioned at a sky-high price last night, and the key to traveling to another world - the red jade.
The moment the blood-red color jumped into his eyes, Su Yin's brain suddenly went blank.
She had lost the bid for this thing last night, and the Chen family had put it up for auction last night... The person who missed out, the one who now owns it, only has one left—
Preface by Xie Ling.
The truth that I dared not think about filled my entire brain in an instant.
At this moment, Su Yin couldn't even make any expression, and just mechanically looked at the man next to her.
He was also looking at the broken piece of jade, but his profile was shrouded in shadow, making it impossible to see his expression.
The figure that had long been blurred in my memory suddenly became clear again, and gradually overlapped with the person in front of me.
Su Yin tried hard to keep her voice from sounding strange: "Xie Lingxu, is this... yours?"
Despite trying hard to control his breath, it was still trembling a little, but Xie Lingxu, whose attention was completely focused on the broken corner of the red jade, did not notice.
"..." Perhaps out of guilt or for some other reason, he avoided Su Yin's gaze, squatted down, and picked up the broken jade and put it back into the box.
Xie Lingxu didn't answer directly, "Just bought it."
In an instant, all the color disappeared from Su Yin's face.
