Chapter 759 Xu Yi's Test
"Uncle, I know the same thing as you, so why are you suddenly asking me this?"
It was really hard for her not to interpret the question as a test, since it was asked so suddenly.
Could it be that my uncle knows something?
Upon hearing this, Xu Yi said, "It's nothing, I was just asking."
"eat!"
Xu Yi captured the opponent's king directly: "Haha, Ayan, I've captured your king, you've lost this game."
Bo Jinyan glanced at his chessboard and chuckled softly, "Uncle, you really are a master at chess. I wasn't even paying attention when you captured me!"
"Ayan, you flatter me." Xu Yi said, stretching his hands, which were a little sore. "Playing chess for so long is tiring. Now that Sang Ruo is back, I won't disturb you two young couple any longer. I'll be going now."
With that, Xu Yi turned around, walked past Sang Ruo, and left.
Sang Ruo watched his figure gradually disappear before her eyes: "Ayan, what exactly is going on..."
Before she could finish speaking, Bo Jinyan covered her pink lips with his, and the man also made a shushing gesture to her, saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Shh! Don't speak."
Sang Ruo was confused until he pulled her upstairs to the study, then opened a small corner of the electric curtains in the study, and pointed to a corner near the living room entrance: "Xiao Ruo, look."
Sang Ruo looked in the direction he pointed and saw Xu Yi still standing at the door, not leaving. She frowned and asked, "What is Uncle doing? Is he trying to eavesdrop on our conversation?"
Judging from his posture, he didn't seem like he was being aggressive; rather, he looked like he was eavesdropping.
Xu Yi stood at the door for a full ten minutes before finally leaving Qinyuan Bay after being persuaded by Uncle Jiang.
Only after the black Rolls-Royce had completely driven away from Qinyuan Bay did Bo Jinyan speak up: "Uncle, they're here to test us."
A test?
"Testing what?" Sang Ruo asked, then suddenly seemed to realize something: "Testing the relationship between me and Lu Nanchu?"
Otherwise, why would he ask her if she had seen Lu Nanchu recently as soon as she returned?
He must have discovered something to say that.
Bo Jinyan nodded slightly: "Yes, they are testing your relationship with her. I even suspect that my uncle is also suspicious of me."
After all, Lu Nanchu had already set his sights on Wen Qingyi while he was in New York, and after returning to China, he immediately took action against her. All of this happened too smoothly and quickly, which was bound to arouse suspicion.
"Does your uncle suspect that you and Nan Chu are working together?" Sang Ruo had thought about this day before, but she didn't expect it to come so soon: "It's understandable that he would suspect you. After all, your uncle is not someone to be trifled with. Once this is over, he will find out the whole story quickly. You can't hide it from him."
After all, it's true that Xu Chen has been kicked out of the Xu family, but Xu Yi is still the current head of the Xu family. The power of the head of the family is much greater than the resources that a second-generation heir like Xu Chen can mobilize.
He knew it was only a matter of time.
Bo Jinyan frowned even more: "I know we can't hide it, but the fact is that Xu Chen got involved in our conflict with Wen Qingyi first. If my uncle finds out that we have a partnership with Nan Chu, things will probably become even more complicated."
Especially given the already precarious relationship between the Bo and Xu families, it will become even more precarious.
If my father finds out, he'll definitely scold me.
But he doesn't regret doing it.
“It’s already very complicated. What can we do besides face it?” Having experienced so much, Sang Ruo had long seen through it all: “Ayan, don’t worry. Our cooperation with Nan Chu can’t be discovered unless one party leaks it.”
After all, it was only a verbal agreement, not a written agreement.
This single clause alone makes the confidentiality level much higher than that of a typical cooperation agreement, casting a shadow over the uncle's investigation.
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinyan's worries lessened considerably: "I hope so."
His words had barely faded when Sang Ruo, who had intended to speak, turned deathly pale, a lump rising in her throat as if something was choking her: "Ugh..."
Ignoring his worries, Sang Ruo went straight to the bathroom next to the study.
"vomit!"
She vomited directly into the washbasin; it was mostly acidic water with very little food residue.
She is a doctor herself and knows the condition of her body.
She vomited for about a minute before lifting her head from the washbasin and almost immediately saw Bo Jinyan standing behind her.
Looking at herself and Bo Jinyan in the mirror, Sang Ruo smiled faintly: "Sorry, Ayan, I haven't had a good appetite these past few days, I feel a bit nauseous."
"Xiao Ruo, you've been like this for several days now. Don't you really need to go to the hospital?" Bo Jinyan's voice was filled with deep concern.
Her body hadn't fully recovered from the car accident, and now she'd been vomiting for several days.
This is really worrying.
"No need, I know my own body." Sang Ruo's face was still somewhat pale and weak, but she forced a smile and said, "Ayan, don't worry about me, I'm fine."
What she feared most was seeing that look of self-reproach on his face.
He always blamed himself for the car accident caused by Wen Qingyi, and always felt guilty for not protecting himself properly. But in reality, these were all accidents, and accidents are unpredictable, aren't they?
This is not his fault.
As she expected, Bo Jinyan's face showed that familiar look of self-reproach: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I didn't protect you well, which is why you suffered such great harm."
It has not been fully cured even now.
Thinking of this, he was overwhelmed by regret and self-blame. Although he knew that Wen Qingyi was the culprit, he had indeed failed to do a good job of protecting her.
That was his mistake.
"Don't be like this, Ayan, it's not your fault." Saying this, Sang Ruo couldn't help but turn around, raise her hand to touch his handsome face, and smile faintly: "See, I'm alright now..."
As soon as she finished speaking, a surge of acid seemed to rise in her stomach, rushing deep into her throat, causing her to turn over and vomit again.
Water kept gushing out of the tap. After vomiting, Sang Ruo rinsed her mouth with mouthwash, which helped a little, but her face was still pale.
Bo Jinyan, who had been standing behind her the whole time, asked worriedly, "Xiao Ruo, are you sure you don't need me to take you to the hospital? You can't go on like this..."
Her health was already poor; how could she keep vomiting like this?
