Chapter 161: She didn't take a single one of those things with her back then.
Fu Yanjing did not speak.
Instead, she dialed the driver's number, her voice hoarse with weariness, "Come pick me up."
A sense of stagnation filled the air, leaving him feeling disoriented.
His mind was in complete turmoil.
Yet there was also a sense of stagnation, an inability to think clearly.
Meng Qinghe watched the car, worth tens of millions, leave.
He didn't know if what he was doing was right or wrong.
Because Meng Qinghe clearly understood that he won this confrontation because—
Fu Yanjing really loves Wen Jinye.
When he used a man's love for Wen Jinye as a bargaining chip to win the game, he was no gentleman.
*
After meeting Meng Qinghe, Fu Yanjing found himself even more afraid to see Wen Jinye.
Her tear-filled, red eyes were the kind of eyes that would make Fu Yanjing's heart ache just thinking about them.
What exactly did she go through when she returned to Hong Kong? What kind of immense pain was hidden behind Meng Qinghe's ambiguous words?
A surge of mixed emotions welled up in his chest, enveloping him like a tight, impenetrable net.
Fu Yanjing dialed the phone again.
"Go check all of Wen Jinye's medical records after he returned to Jiangbei, especially... mental illnesses or emotional disorders."
Fu Yanjing was unable to calm down for a long time.
Perhaps some things had already been unknowingly pushed away by his recklessness, rashness, and arrogance.
He's more than just someone who can't get a hug from Wen Jinye.
even--
I couldn't reach the hem of her clothes.
A new message popped up on my phone.
Qin Zhiyi: [A-Jing, would you be willing to go back to the Fu family manor? I have something to tell you.]
Fu Yanjing rubbed his throbbing temples and instructed the driver, "Go to the Fu Family Manor."
The coffee stains on my clothes had long since dried.
It stands out particularly against the charcoal gray suit.
This was the first time Qin Zhiyi had ever seen her once-proud and upright son in such a sorry state.
Although he didn't have any so-called severe mysophobia, he was always meticulous about his clothes.
Especially when she saw his distraught expression, she was even more surprised, "What... happened to you?"
Fu Xianzong descended the stairs, still angry, but he relented.
"You can do whatever you want, and there's no need for an arranged marriage. The old man will back you up. You can be with whomever you like. Why do you feel like the world has abandoned you?"
The tone was sarcastic and pointed, cleverly concealing the speaker's concern.
Not only do they not care, they're also good at stabbing people in the back.
Fu Xianzong understood: "This is a huge undertaking, but we can't catch up."
Fu Yanjing was completely convinced; a wave of weariness washed over him. He looked at Qin Zhiyi:
"You specifically called me here just so he could come and mock me?"
When it comes to matters other than family interests, are there ever times when the two of them are so united?
"No, I have something to give you. You wait here."
After speaking, Qin Zhiyi went upstairs. She stood in the huge dressing room, surrounded by designer bags, luxury jewelry, and a dazzling array of clothes, and she was bathed in a glittering glow.
It makes people appear even smaller.
It looks just like an exhibit that has been beautifully and luxuriously packaged.
Among all these jewels, the jewelry in the transparent box was not particularly eye-catching.
Many of the styles inside are from two or even three years ago, but you can still tell they are quite valuable just by the light refracted by the gemstones.
All of these items came from Xishan Villa.
The night they broke up, Qin Zhiyi called Xishan Mansion.
Qin Zhiyi and Fu Xianzong never imagined that a reporter from the mainland with an ordinary background could stay by Fu Yanjing's side for so long.
They had just parted on bad terms at the Fu family manor during the day because of this woman's departure.
But that evening, she learned from the nanny that they were breaking up.
And at that time—
Fu Yanjing was unaware of this.
Qin Zhiyi was more surprised than anything else. "She suddenly wants to break up?"
Anyone with a modicum of sense wouldn't leave the port city at this critical juncture.
The Fu family values dignity, and dismissing a woman wouldn't be considered a heinous act.
Even if she heard rumors beforehand, the smartest thing she would do is to make a fortune from it, since that amount of money is insignificant to the Fu family.
The nanny replied, "Yes."
"What did she take with her?"
After all, they've been together for so many years. Even if she didn't come looking for trouble and confront him, all that Fu Yanjing has given her is probably enough for her to live a carefree and extravagant life for the rest of her days.
At the last auction, Fu Yanjing bought the bracelet, which was worth tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, without even blinking.
The jadeite was of excellent quality and was originally chosen by Qin Zhiyi.
She even thought her son had changed and knew how to meet his elderly mother's needs.
Unexpectedly, he turned around and delivered the bracelet to Xishan Mansion.
Fu Yanjing was never as indifferent to that woman as he appeared from the beginning.
He just didn't realize it.
The nanny answered almost without hesitation on the other end of the phone, "No, Miss Wen only took her own things. She didn't touch any of those valuable items."
This answer was completely beyond Qin Zhiyi's comprehension.
The nanny, probably also worried about pressure from the Fu family, unconsciously spoke up for Wen Jinye:
“Madam, I have lived with Miss Wen for so long, spending every day together. I don’t think Miss Wen is someone who stays by the young master’s side for money.”
But this was the answer Qin Zhiyi least wanted to hear.
Fu Yanjing's own unconscious favoritism towards a woman's extraordinary gentleness and virtue.
Perhaps she really is different.
But she—
This did not help Fu Yanjing maintain control of the family in any way.
The nanny spoke up again: "Miss Wen is not a gold digger."
Qin Zhiyi closed her eyes briefly. "Let A-Jing think that way."
She instructed, "I know A-Jing's character. He's such a proud person, he would never do anything to try and keep you here. Collect all those expensive jewelry pieces that A-Jing gave to Wen Jinye and send them back to the Fu family manor. Don't let A-Jing know about them."
He will eventually have to take over the enormous Fu family business.
Qin Zhiyi did not want Fu Yanjing to have any unexpected complications in his love life.
After those things were delivered, Qin Zhiyi didn't even glance at them, leaving them quietly in this corner.
Just as she expected, Fu Yanjing did not try to stop her.
He didn't even go back to see Xishan Mansion again.
She thought that the relationship had simply vanished like smoke.
Unexpectedly, it caused a continuous drizzle in Fu Yanjing's heart.
When Qin Zhiyi carried the box downstairs, Fu Xianzong was already gone.
But the lingering tension in the air didn't dissipate, and it wasn't hard to guess that the father and son, who weren't good at communicating, had another tense argument.
Fu Yanjing remained standing in the living room, without changing his clothes, and simply gazed quietly out the window.
Qin Zhiyi's approach did not elicit the slightest reaction from him.
His empty gaze seemed somewhat lost.
“Ah Jing.”
Fu Yanjing's gaze only loosened when Qin Zhiyi called his name.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Zhiyi handed the items to Fu Yanjing, not daring to meet his probing gaze. "These are the gifts you gave to Miss Wen back then. In fact, she didn't take any of them with her."
“Ah Jing, don’t blame me. I was like that back then…”
Qin Zhiyi didn't finish her sentence.
The box suddenly fell heavily to the ground.
The deafening sound made her flinch and hide.
The dappled light and shadow outside the window stirred his eyes, but Fu Yanjing's usually cool and aloof eyes were now like a sea with raging waves.
His voice was low and hoarse, "She didn't take anything with her?"
