It was a delicate jade pendant, a birthday gift from his mother when he was eight years old, and was taken away by his uncle many years ago, and now it has fallen to the auction floor, proving that his uncle also gave this jade pendant because of gambling.

"What's wrong?"

"It's fine."

Cheng Yi glanced at the jade pendant in the venue, and then at Xia Yan, and guessed in his heart.

"Do you like it?"

Cheng Yi asked lightly.

As soon as Xia Yan wanted to nod, she heard the auctioneer shouting:

"The starting price is five million!"

Million?

Hearing this price, Xia Yan's words were swallowed again as soon as they reached her mouth.

Cheng Yi guessed Xia Yan's mind and silently raised his hand.

"Five and a half million."

Everyone turned their heads to look at Cheng Yi, you must know that although this jade pendant is finely carved and the jade quality is also good, the asking price of five million is outrageous.

"This gentleman bid 5.5 million, has there been a higher bid?"

Xia Yan looked at Cheng Yi incredulously.

"Are you crazy? 5.5 million to buy a stone? ”

For Xia Yan, maybe this jade pendant is of great significance, but for others, it is just a gadget, and this auction is obviously using these exquisite gadgets to set up their rich people, she is really reluctant to spend so much money on Cheng Yi to buy a stone.

"Five million six thousand."

Still bidding? Broken heads?

Xia Yan looked at Cheng Heng not far in front of him, and he naturally turned his head to Xia Yan and smiled gently.

Cheng Yi, who was sitting next to Xia Yan, had an extremely ugly face under the mask.

"Six million."

"Cheng Yi! Don't ask for a price! I don't like it! ”

Xia Yan tried to stop him, but Cheng Yi looked ahead angrily.

"Six million 1 million"

At this moment, Cheng Heng deliberately raised the price of the auction, and Cheng Yi glanced at him coldly. Xia Yan beside her waved her hand at Cheng Heng again and again, signaling him to stop bidding.

For the sake of a few million gadgets, what does it mean to interact with Cheng Heng all the time? Cheng Yi was even more displeased, and raised his card to ask for the price:

"Seven million."

Cheng Heng couldn't help but clap his hands on the side, it seemed that he had to get this jade pendant in order to chase Xia Yan.

"Seven million 100,000."

Still coming? Didn't you already signal him to stop shouting!

Xia Yan was so anxious that she stomped her feet.

"Cheng Yi, stop shouting, Cheng Heng is obviously working against you to deliberately raise the price!"

Cheng Yi glanced at her arrogantly, thinking that you finally saw it.

"Ten million."

"You're crazy!"

Xia Yan jumped up to cover his mouth, but the auctioneer had already begun to count down.

"Well, this gentleman bids ten million, ten million once, ten million twice, ten million three times! Deal! ”

During the break, watching the staff hand over the jade pendant, the thoughts of his mother welled up in his heart, and tears had already overflowed his eyes.

Cheng Yi looked ahead expressionlessly, put his hands in his pockets, and said lightly:

"Still not holding it?"

Xia Yan glanced at Cheng Yi in surprise, and took the jade pendant with trembling hands.

"This, this is..."

"I've got you."

With that, he turned and left.

Xia Yan hugged him from behind him, and was reluctant to let go for a long time.

"Thank you."

The tears in his eyes dripped uncontrollably.

The others in the lounge looked at the scene in front of them in amazement and couldn't help but whisper.

Cheng Yi seriously felt Xia Yan's warm body temperature for the first time, there was no disgust, no nausea, more of a trace of distress. If the hunch is not wrong, she is the Xia Yan she knew when she was a child. How did she do it, even though her parents died and she was bullied, she was still optimistic like the sun, shining and warming others.

Assistant Zhou, who came in a hurry, took in all this, and immediately turned around and pretended that he hadn't seen anything.

Xia Yan turned her head and saw Assistant Zhou not far away, and immediately let go of her hand and stood aside awkwardly.

"What's the matter?"

Cheng Yi asked unhappily.

"Mr. Yi, Miss Chu self-harmed, cut her wrist, and is now in the emergency room."

"Send Xia Yan home first."

"Mr. Yi, the chairman and his wife are in the hospital, and they said that they want to see Miss Xia."

See me? What's the situation?

Cheng Yi turned his head slightly uneasily.

"Why did you want to see her?"

"I heard that Miss Chu self-harmed because of Miss Xia..."

"Send her home first."

"Mr. Yi, what about the chairman?"

"I'll handle it myself."

Xia Yan hesitated, if the matter started because of me, I hid behind and let Cheng Yi bear it alone, how can it be reasonable?

"Why don't I go too, Chu Mengqi has entered the emergency room, if it's really because of me, I'll apologize to her, if you go alone, they will definitely embarrass you."

"You're worried about me?"

"I, I..."

Xia Yan was speechless by Cheng Yi for a while, when did she become so unserious?

Cheng Yi saw that she couldn't speak, and he didn't embarrass her.

"Go to the hospital first."

"Okay, Mr. Yi."

When she arrived at the parking lot in the hospital, Xia Yan was just about to get out of the car when she was stopped by Cheng Yi.

"Wait for me in the car, I will handle our family's affairs by myself, the pillow is in the passenger seat, and remember to lean on for back pain."

"Good..."

Xia Yan was so shy by Cheng Yi's sudden concern that she could only nod her head and agree to him.

At the door of Chu Mengqi's ward, there were a large number of people surrounding the Chu family and the Cheng family.

"Where's the woman!"

Chu Mengqi's father was the first to rush in front of Cheng Yi and asked viciously.

"What woman?"

Cheng Yi tilted his head and asked rhetorically without a tone.

"It's the woman who forced my daughter to harm herself! Cheng Yi, let me tell you, even if you protect her today, it's useless, that woman, I have to take it away! ”

"You dare!"

After speaking, he turned his head and motioned to Assistant Zhou to take out a check and agreement.

"What do you mean?"

"On the surface, take the money and sign the agreement, and the matter is over."

"You bastard!"

Chu Mengqi's father came up and wanted to beat Cheng Yi, but was stopped by Cheng He.

"Mr. Chu, don't be excited, things haven't been sorted out yet, I'm afraid I'm going to hurt the harmony if I do it."

Chu Mengqi's father shook off Cheng He's hand angrily, turned around and walked into the family lounge.

"What about the woman?"

Cheng He asked in a low voice.

"She's not here."

"You know that if you hand her over, the Chu family will not be angry with the Cheng family, why do you protect her like this?"

"She's my person."

"What do you say to her?"

Cheng He didn't say the words in the back, but Cheng Yi also guessed it.

"Yes."

Cheng He looked at Cheng Yi in disbelief, what means did that woman use to let her son with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder protect her so much?

Without waiting for Cheng He to react, Cheng Yi walked into the lounge.

"Mr. Chu, this is my last bottom line, Miss Chu snatched my female partner's evening dress, and pushed her at the dinner party and caused her to be injured, my female partner didn't care about it the whole time, what does it mean that Miss Chu is disabled now? When I Cheng Yi is a soft persimmon is easy to pinch? ”

"It's... Is there such a thing? ”

Chu Mengqi's father glanced at Chu Ling, and Chu Ling hurriedly shirked responsibility.

"I also saw that dress was beautiful, and I wanted Mengqi to try it on and pick something similar, but who knew that this kid liked it so much that he was reluctant to take it off when he put it on."

Cheng Yi looked at Chu Ling full of reasons, and instantly brushed himself off.

"Then my daughter is injured, is that it!"

"The check agreement is here, if Mr. Chu can accept it, we will settle it peacefully, if it can't be accepted, we will meet in court."

Cheng Yi applied both soft and hard, not giving Chu Mengqi's father the slightest room to fight back.

In the end, Chu Mengqi's father reluctantly took the check and signed the agreement.

"Cheng Yi! You stop! ”

Cheng He drank Cheng Yi, leaned over and asked in a low voice:

"Who is that woman named Xia Yan?"

Cheng Yi didn't speak, and prepared to leave.

"She's an orphan of the Xia family."

Cheng Yi turned his head sharply and was in a stalemate with Cheng He.

"Mr. Yi, chairman, this is not the place to speak."

Assistant Zhou reminded.

The two went to a corner of the building and talked in a low voice.

And at this moment, Xia Yan is sitting on pins and needles in the car.

"Why haven't you come back, I really want to go to the toilet!"

In desperation, Xia Yan rushed into the building against the cold wind, her outfit was really out of place in the hospital, Xia Yan looked for a building with few people, looking for a toilet back and forth.

After a period of searching, I finally solved my physiological problems.

The hospital building is always intricate, and the sound of high-heeled shoes "coughing and danding" looks extremely eerie in the uninhabited corridor.

Xia Yan was a little scared, so she took off her high heels and pinched her feet. Xia Yan, who was a little lost, kept scurrying around the building, until she heard the voices of people not far away, and then walked forward happily.

"Cheng Yi! Do you know what you're doing right now! ”

Cheng Yi? Is he here?

Xia Yan hid behind the wall and secretly listened to the conversation between the two not far away.

"You don't need to worry, I'll take care of my own business."

The familiar voice came to Xia Yan's ears, and it was Cheng Yi.

For some reason, now that she heard Cheng Yi's voice again, Xia Yan was a little shy.

"You know that woman is an orphan of the Xia family, but you still have her by your side?"

"Whether she is an orphan of the Xia family or not, I haven't investigated it yet."

Cheng Yi has been investigating himself for a long time?

Hearing this, Xia Yan's heart felt a little uncomfortable.

"I have already sent someone to ask about the gambling stick, and he personally admitted that this Xia Yan is his niece."

"Really?"

Cheng Yi's tone was a little surprised, mixed with a hint of joy.

Cheng He ignored his emotions and ordered:

"I don't care what method you use, since you have decided to keep that woman by your side, you have to realize the value of that woman. Xia's house must be demolished before the end of the year, I don't care what method you use, you must ask the woman to sign the consent form before the start of construction. ”

"Yes. Father rest assured. ”

Xia Yan, who was not far away, listened to their conversation clearly, and sat in the corner paralyzed for a while, unable to accept all this.

Xia Yan, who returned to the car, lay in the back seat of the car and pretended to fall asleep in order not to let Cheng Yi discover her gaffe.

Cheng Yi opened the back seat and found that Xia Yan had fallen asleep, so he gently closed the back seat door and sat in the co-pilot.

"Mr. Yi, Miss Chu has woken up, the wound is not deep, and there is no danger to life."

"Well, let's go back."

"The chairman's side..."

"I'll get through it."

Cheng Yi glanced back at Xia Yan and made sure that she was asleep, so he continued:

"There is no need to investigate Uncle Xia Yan's side, she is the person I am looking for."

"That's great!"

"The 'intangible cultural heritage' certificate of that old house helped me quickly."

"Yes, Mr. Yi."

At this moment, in the corners of Xia Yan's eyes, the tears of grievance couldn't stop flowing.
