Su Xiaomeng thought of it as a walk in the distant suburbs, observing the simplest, ordinary people’s lives...

She felt at ease.

Never thought the square dancing of the elderly would become a small longing in her heart.

However, taking this trip, even finding a simple longing made it worthwhile for Su Xiaomeng.

But Su Xiaomeng never expected that on this trip, she would not find any clues about her husband, but a person who had followed her all the way found traces of the truth she tried so hard to hide.

..........

Rong Jing returned to Beijing at ten o’clock in the evening.

Lying in bed after a shower, holding a note, he looked up at it...

She and the kids are waiting for Yin Shixiu to come home...

What does this sentence mean? Rong Jing was still pondering the meaning behind those words.

After all, at first glance, the sentence was clear: Yin Shixiu wasn’t dead; Su Xiaomeng just didn’t know where he was.

But... how could Yin Shixiu not be dead?

Rong Jing took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

The next morning, Rong Jing drove his Maybach to the front of Yin Group’s building.

After the receptionist reported Rong Jing’s visit, a secretary came down to escort him upstairs to the VIP room,

"Mr. Rong, please wait a moment, President Su will be over shortly after her meeting."

Rong Jing nodded in response.

The secretary left the VIP room.

Su Xiaomeng did not go to the VIP room immediately after the meeting but returned to her office to rest briefly.

Glancing at the time and feeling it was about right, she got up and walked to the VIP room.

Upon opening the door...

Suddenly, a large bouquet of flowers was already in front of Su Xiaomeng!

Su Xiaomeng frowned slightly, not quite understanding Rong Jing’s gesture...

Catching Rong Jing’s smiling eyes and then looking at the fragrant bouquet in front,

"President Rong, what does this mean?"

"Can’t you tell?"

"Can’t tell."

Rong Jing raised his eyebrows high and said in an exaggerated tone without blushing,

"This represents my deep apology to you, President Su, and these flowers symbolize beautiful friendship!"

"..."

Su Xiaomeng looked at him calmly,

"If President Rong came here to do this boring thing, please leave. I have other matters to attend to, pardon me for not accompanying."

After speaking, Xiao Meng turned to leave the VIP room.

"Next weekend, there will be an auction in the basement conference hall of the Emperor Hotel."

Rong Jing still holding the flowers, spoke leisurely after Xiao Meng turned away.

Su Xiaomeng naturally heard what Rong Jing said, but had no intention of stopping until—

"The auction is for a mansion."

"..."

Su Xiaomeng’s heart skipped a beat; if it were an ordinary mansion, Rong Jing wouldn’t say it to her face, this mansion could only be—

"It’s the Yin Family Old Mansion."

Su Xiaomeng turned and faced Rong Jing’s calm yet slightly smiling expression.

"I thought you wouldn’t react to hearing the words Yin Family Old Mansion."

"Where did you get the news?"

Su Xiaomeng asked urgently.

Rong Jing handed the flowers to her,

"Are you sure you don’t want to accept these flowers symbolizing friendship?"

"Rong Jing, are you done? Can’t you stop being so childish?"

"If you don’t take these flowers, I can only assume we’re still antagonists, then how can I tell you everything? It seems—"

Before Rong Jing finished speaking, Su Xiaomeng had already reached out to take the flowers from him,

"Alright, I accept, now speak."

"..."

Rong Jing saw his empty hand and then looked at Su Xiaomeng... shaking his head with some emotion,

"Women..."

"Are you going to talk or not?"

"Let’s sit and talk."

Rong Jing gestured to the nearby long sofa.

Su Xiaomeng closed her eyes, finding the man in front of her annoyingly pretentious.

She walked over and sat down.

Rong Jing sat next to her, almost touching her.

Xiao Meng felt uncomfortable with the proximity, moving to a single sofa on the side.

Rong Jing said nothing,

"You know my relationship with Yin Shiqing; if he auctions the Yin Mansion, how could I not know?"

"..."

Su Xiaomeng squinted her eyes. It was because she knew Rong Jing’s relationship with Yin Shiqing that she wanted to clarify,

"Although Yin Shiqing holds the property rights to the Yin Mansion, it won’t be easy for him to auction it, right?"

Su Xiaomeng looked at Rong Jing,

"The Yin Mansion, after all, is a property assigned to the Yin Family by the state. To investigate, none of the gardens within belong to the Yin Family. Does Yin Shiqing have the ability to auction off a state-allocated house?"

"It’s true, as you said, it’s impossible to auction the Yin Mansion, but Yin Shiqing has done it."

"..."

Su Xiaomeng clenched her fists slightly.

"Yin Shiqing turned the mansion auction into a charity-themed auction, with sixty percent of the proceeds going to charitable causes."

"..."

Upon hearing Rong Jing’s words, Su Xiaomeng realized the high possibility of this.

Yin Shiqing was a high-ranking government official, and the charity auction was of the Yin Family’s old mansion.

It was clear how Yin Shiqing would create publicity to establish a just and honest image in the public’s eye.

Seeing Su Xiaomeng’s serious expression, Rong Jing couldn’t help but say,

"I thought you so casually gave the Yin Family Old Mansion to Yin Shiqing because you truly gave up on it! From your expression now..."

Rong Jing smirked slightly, saying,

"The transfer of this mansion to Yin Shiqing must have been your stalling tactic, right? You must have thought of reclaiming it from Yin Shiqing one day, right?"

Rong Jing guessed accurately, and Su Xiaomeng no longer had the strength to hide it.

Yin Shiqing auctioning off and transferring the mansion so quickly was likely out of a desire to take revenge on the Yin Family.

He didn’t actually need the mansion, but it could help him gain good publicity and establish a charitable and honest reputation while also devastating the Yin Family.

At the end of the day, the enemy wouldn’t give the other side an easy time.

Next weekend...

"Do you want to buy back the Yin Mansion?"

Rong Jing asked Su Xiaomeng.

Su Xiaomeng furrowed her brow slightly, looking at Rong Jing,

"What does that have to do with you?"

What was his intention in coming specifically to tell her this?

Since he had a close personal relationship with Yin Shiqing, why did he go out of his way to inform her?

Or could it be...

Was this a scheme set by him and Yin Shiqing to make her participate in the auction?

"You’ve already accepted my flowers of friendship, and I’m sincerely bringing my apology to make amends with you. Can you stop being so suspicious and hostile towards me?"

Rong Jing said with a bit of helplessness.

Su Xiaomeng just cast him a glance.

"I have a way to get you a ticket to the auction so you can participate in the bidding."

"..."

"The Yin Family is still somewhat a kin even in Yin Shiqing’s hands. Even if your relationship is strained, if it falls into others’ hands, it’ll be hard to retrieve it, won’t it?"

Su Xiaomeng looked at Rong Jing,

"Come on, tell me, in Mr. Rong’s eyes, what is the price of the auction ticket, or what are your conditions, speak directly."

Rong Jing hurriedly applauded, 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Su Xiaomeng, I love how straightforward you are."

"I really don’t like your beating around the bush."

"Haha!"

Rong Jing laughed twice, then put on a serious expression, looking at her intently,

"Su Xiaomeng, how about a powerful marriage alliance between Yin and Rong Families?"

"..."
