Han Ruoxi's auction had inadvertently opened doors to international recognition. Su Xingtian no longer needed to reveal her identity; she was already looking forward to the day when Han Ruoxi would personally meet her, shocked and annoyed.
The only downside was that Su Xingju had promised to design a piece of jewelry for the buyer free of charge. This was all thanks to her exceptionally talented partner, Mu Beiyao, who had created this trouble. Perhaps it was fate that she and Han Ruoxi were destined to cross paths; after all, it seemed that they were not enemies but rather intertwined fates.
No one expected that the most eye-catching item at the auction would be provided by Starry Convergence. Mu Beiyao was happily calculating the profits and gave Su Xing a thumbs up, exclaiming, "You really did it! It's incredible! You’ve made a billion off your rival; how does that feel? Why not write a little essay about it?"
Well, money had to be earned. Su Xing relied on her own abilities—she neither stole nor cheated, so she felt justified. She had her own principles.
Suddenly, Mu Beiyao thought, "But this money might also come from Shen Jingyu, right? After all, she relies on him so much."
Mu Beiming raised an eyebrow at his sister; this was clearly a challenge to Shen Jingyu, akin to tossing balloons at someone with spikes. Who knows what might explode next?
However, Shen Jingyu calmly explained, "She makes a lot of money from acting. I helped her set up her studio without taking any share."
With such selfless support, it was no wonder she was infatuated! Mu Beiyao saw through the truth.
But they should have also heard that any trouble arising from Han Ruoxi's studio was handled by Luo Hao or Shen Jingyu.
This was all self-inflicted! If a domineering CEO used his pursuit techniques on any girl, it would surely work!
Before the auction concluded, Mu Beiyao received a message from Han Ruoxi's agent, requesting a meeting within three days. However, the tone and attitude were somewhat displeasing.
Mu Beiyao handed her phone to Su Xing for her to see. The email read: "Please confirm the time for a meeting with Ruo Xi within three days. Next month at the National Film Festival, Ruo Xi's jewelry will be designed."
Upon reading it, Su Xing sneered and quickly replied: "Please have Han Ruoxi herself come to Starry Convergence’s office for a meeting within three days; I am available anytime during that period. For other times, please schedule separately."
After sending her reply, Su Xing returned the phone to Mu Beiyao, who felt relieved upon seeing it.
Meanwhile, after reading the message, Han Ruoxi smashed Aileen's phone into pieces in frustration.
At the end of the auction, despite Su Xing's attempts to resist and show disinterest, Shen Jingyu still bought her a pink diamond with an impressive carat weight and insisted on dragging Su Xing to pick it up after the event.
On their way back, Mu Beiyao decisively handed Su Xing over to Shen Jingyu and sped away in Shenghao Yujing without a moment's hesitation.
Afterward, Su Xing inexplicably found herself standing with Shen Jingyu in front of Shenghao Yujing, sending off a few guests. Did this not solidify some sort of relationship between them?
Throughout the ride in Shen Jingyu's car, Su Xing felt a bit disoriented. Shen Jingyu quietly placed his hand over hers and gently asked, "Are you tired? You can rest your head on my shoulder for a while."
"I'm not." Su Xing gazed out the window, where the city was coming alive with bright lights and flickering neon signs. The bustling and lively atmosphere had always made her feel like there was no place she truly belonged. But now, the person she cared about also seemed to care for her; he had returned.
Yet the distance between them still felt insurmountable.
"A Yu, did you leave so abruptly last year because of the Shen Family and your background?"
Su Xing knew that Shen Jingyu had a strained relationship with his mother, not only because she had neglected him after marrying into the Mu Family but also due to rumors that she had driven his father to death. The truth behind those rumors was something Su Xing had only glimpsed through fragments of his past letters; she had never fully uncovered it.
She understood that this was a deep-seated pain for Shen Jingyu, but there were still matters they needed to confront and clarify.
Shen Jingyu took Su Xing's hand and placed it on his lap. After a moment of silence, he spoke: "You remember I joined the army when I was sixteen, right? Afterward, I went to university. The truth is, I left abruptly because I was assigned a mission by Mi Ton. I can't say much about that."
"As for the Shen Family, I’ve known about my connection to them for a long time because there have always been people watching me from the Shen Family. I can’t deny that they saved me many times when I was on the brink of death. But when I truly wanted to live, it was you who saved me."
"I never intended to return to the Shen Family, which is why I've never mentioned it to you. I'm sorry for hiding this from you."
Su Xing silently observed him, sensing that he often remained in this melancholic state. But if he never intended to return to the Shen Family and mentioned that once he fulfilled his grandfather's wishes, he could leave at any time—then what exactly was he doing?
With his return, Du Meng had hinted that perhaps greater storms were approaching. And just moments ago, when leaving the hotel, Du Meng had given her a meaningful glance.
In these past two days, it felt as though countless mysteries had been thrown at her, sparking her curiosity yet leaving her unable to decipher them.
"Then why did you return to the Shen Family? And why did you suddenly take over Shen Group?"
Inside, Shen Jingyu screamed: "For you."
In a long gaze, he forced a relaxed smile and said, "I have to repay you for the 396,000 you lent me. Life abroad has been tough, and just when my grandfather came to pick me up, I returned."
By the way, he personally assigned him some extremely challenging tasks!
Su Xing felt that the figure of 396,000 was her Achilles' heel. Whenever it was mentioned, it not only reminded her of their past but also stirred that delicate connection between them.
However, Su Xing didn't believe Shen Jingyu's words at all. With his well-dressed appearance, how could he possibly be struggling outside? Moreover, just moments ago, he had casually waved his hand and spent 260 million on a diamond for her without batting an eye.
With a half-smile, Su Xing pointed at the small box on the platform in front of them and said, "This thing—does it really count as settling that 396,000 debt when it's priced nearly a thousand times higher? That can't be right! I would need a lifetime to repay that 396,000."
Shen Jingyu's words left Su Xing speechless. Fortunately, his phone rang just then, rescuing her from the awkwardness.
However, his mood changed drastically after he answered the call. Once he hung up, Shen Jingyu frowned and looked at Su Xing. "Xingxing, Su He just left the hospital and got into Du Meng's car."
How should she respond? Was he out of his mind?
Su Xing finally realized what Du Meng's earlier gaze had meant! He was scheming against Su He!
And her foolish brother had fallen right into his trap! It wouldn't be long before Du Meng would call Su Xing!
