******************************************************

Yan Wuxu stayed at Mrs. Yan’s home for two full weeks before returning. During this time, Su Qingzhang wasn’t in the country, so besides Su Ziceng, no one in the Su Family paid much attention. The death of the driver Ah Xiang, settled by Chang Mei with two hundred thousand in condolence money, did not stop the continuous flow of applicants for the driver position at Su’s, and soon the butler had confirmed a new driver.

While managing his studies at Kelly Women’s College, Su Ziceng was also busy handling the affairs of the Subi Auction House, so it was not until the weekend that he managed to visit Mrs. Yan’s home. However, he did not run into Yan Wuxu, who, according to Mrs. Yan, had gone to the seaside to unwind with a few friends.

Other than her, does Yan Wuxu have any other friends? Moreover, that area by the seaside had recently been strictly off-limits due to a resort project. Although somewhat puzzled, Su Ziceng did not pay special attention to this.

It was not until the second weekend passed that Yan Wuxu finally returned home. Seeing that she looked quite well, and nothing particularly amiss, Su Ziceng just asked a few questions.

Upon hearing about Ah Xiang’s death, Yan Wuxu was also deeply saddened for a while, regretting that she should not have asked Ah Xiang to drive her home that day. Su Ziceng, however, thought differently, feeling fortunate that Ah Xiang had managed to drop her off before the brakes failed, otherwise it could have ended terribly.

"Settled with two hundred thousand?" Yan Wuxu asked in a barely audible voice when Su Ziceng mentioned what Chang Mei had done to manage the aftermath.

’It is indeed a bit less. A’s family had only his mother, and they were having a hard time making ends meet, he hadn’t even managed to marry," Su Ziceng also heard of it from his servants and expressed his condolences.

"Luckily there are few people in the family," Yan Wuxu murmured while gently touching her belly.

"I see no change in your belly," Su Ziceng curiously mentioned, noting that Yan Wuxu’s belly still looked as it did a few days ago; he had no experience in these matters but understood that usually by three or four months into a pregnancy there should be some noticeable changes.

"It’s just two months, not very noticeable," Yan Wuxu blocked Su Ziceng’s hand and replied indifferently. "Let’s not talk about this anymore. Has there been any improvement at the Subi Auction House?"

"No, lately there have been some curriculum adjustments on Kelly’s side as well, and the situation at Subi isn’t much better. Secretary Wang has racked his brains and hasn’t obtained any information from Chang Chi," speaking of this, Su Ziceng also felt embarrassed. Secretary Wang was right; with Chang Mei backing Chang Chi, almost all of the domestic senior buyers were under her control.

"I heard the news at home. This weekend, Subi Auction House will conduct a year-end auction," Yan Wuxu pulled out an auction list from her carry-on handbag.

"It has even been distributed in Fourth District?" Su Ziceng took the list, beautifully printed, listing a variety of items ranging from invaluable famous calligraphy and paintings to rare domestic jade jewelry, managed by a well-known domestic auctioneer.

This list was not obtained from Fourth District but brought by Fei Qing to entertain Yan Wuxu. Throughout Mo City and even other mainline cities, any person possessing some assets had received this list.

"Formal attire required, and there’s even a special plane arranged for transport?" Su Ziceng was astonished by the lavish arrangements Chang Chi had made.

"And that’s not all, look at the sponsors," Yan Wuxu pointed to the auction list where several of Mo City’s antique associations and government agencies were listed.

"Since when did Chang Chi have connections with these units?" Su Ziceng had been deeply invested in the collection of cultural relics, and neglected the corresponding public relation projects.

"It’s probably all wires pulled by Chang Mei," Yan Wuxu once again emphasized Chang Mei’s role.

Even if Su Qingzhang himself had been involved, it would likely only have gone to this extent. Looking at each of those names and organizations supporting this, Su Ziceng, thinking of Chang Mei far abroad, realized that whether she was domestic or abroad, the Su Family’s major and minor affairs were still under her control.

Thinking of these things, a subtle throbbing pain emerged at Su Ziceng’s temples, and pondering further was pointless. "I’m thinking of going to the Wine Shop, do you want to come along?" Su Ziceng spoke dispiritedly. Recently, being busy with Subi’s affairs, he had neglected the Wine Shop, inadvertently giving Zhou Dagen a hard time.
