Chapter 15: Breaking Defense

Xie Siyan curled his lips, looked at her, and said nothing more.

There was silence.

Mu Jia was speechless and turned his head to look out the window.

Making dirty jokes in broad daylight.

It's quite tasteless.

Xie Siyan, a finance major, wasn't embarrassed by the situation. He could even justify a set of heretical theories. Seeing she remained silent, he offered a lightly scientific explanation, serious, "Have you heard that regular sex can help relieve stress and benefit your physical and mental health?"

Mu Jia: “…”

Mu Jia felt that he most likely wanted to maintain this improper relationship with her for a long time.

Seeing that bribery was useless, he was too lazy to keep it and started to act unruly.

Mu Jia stared out the window.

This private hospital was very close to her apartment. When they reached the corner, Mu Jia spoke up in advance: "Mr. Xie, just drop me off at the intersection."

Xie Siyan glanced at her again because of the "Mr. Xie". It turns out that men and women have similarities. After doing it too much, it is a bit uncomfortable to see others deliberately distance themselves from each other.

However, this was not something he could adapt to, and Xie Siyan quickly adjusted to it.

When he arrived at the designated location, he parked the car on the side of the road without hesitation.

Mu Jia thought that they would still meet at work in the future, so after getting off the car, he stood by the roadside and said politely to him:

"Thank you for today."

Xie Siyan didn't give her any leeway, rolled up the car window, and sped away.

Mu Jia: “…”

-

Shengtong Precision's listing project has reached a critical stage, and the firm has begun to move in.

In the division of labor within the group, Mu Jia was assigned the resident role.

When Song Mingxi heard the news, he immediately thought of something wrong: "Then you are..."

Live together day and night?

She had not been informed of the latest progress between the two of them. Song Mingxi's mind was still on the last time he picked her up from the villa area, not knowing that they had already broken off the talks.

He just meant to play around, but Mu Jia didn't have the habit of playing with men casually.

Mu Jia pondered over it, and suddenly asked her curiously, "Liu Heng... do you know this person?"

Xie Siyan said he was a central air conditioner. Although Mu Jia didn't believe it, but now that she was talking about this matter, please forgive her -

She is also an ordinary person and has a gossipy nature. It won't hurt to ask a casual question.

Song Mingxi turned around and confirmed with her who it was, then said, "All the Boyangs in the city have a financial sponsor, and that's his family."

"Boyang XX Hospital, that Boyang?" Mu Jia was curious.

Song Mingxi nodded: "Yes."

"Have you noticed that, except for the public hospitals in our city, all the private hospitals are prefixed with two words - Boyang?"

She nodded, confirming Mu Jia's guess, "It's a monopoly."

“No wonder he can drive an Aston Martin,” Mu Jia exclaimed.

"What's an Aston Martin? He has a lot of cars in his garage," Song Mingxi said, then glanced at her. "Xie Siyan's garage... haven't you seen it?"

Mu Jia looked at her suspiciously.

Song Mingxi: "They all love playing with cars."

Mu Jia suddenly remembered that the last time he left his villa, he asked Song Mingxi to pick him up. No wonder she didn't know.

While talking about Xie Siyan, Song Mingxi took the opportunity to ask about their progress.

There was nothing to hide about this, so Mu Jia directly told her his guess: "He probably wants to maintain a long-term, unofficial, friends-with-benefits relationship with me."

Song Mingxi cursed him as a scumbag, then thought of something and hesitated, "As your friend, I feel I should condemn him righteously at this moment..."

"but……?"

"But, thinking of Cheng Yu'an and Xie Ling, I kind of want to watch a cool drama—"

Facing Mu Jia's puzzled look, she explained, "Jia Jia, think about it. Xie Ling used some trickery to snatch your ex away, so you become her sister-in-law! Ultimately, the Xie family still has the final say from Xie Siyan... Isn't this a very satisfying drama?"

"Besides," Song Mingxi judged impartially, "In terms of figure and face, Xie Siyan is such a top-notch guy. Sleeping with him like a duck..."

Mu Jia quickly stopped her from thinking: "I can't afford such an expensive duck."

-

It's autumn.

Teng Zhi was invited to Xie's house by Mrs. Xie, and they planned to go to the cheongsam shop to order a skirt together in the afternoon.

Teng Zhi often attended such social events. She arrived early and it was inconvenient to drive in, so she parked on the road outside.

As I walked in, I ran into someone I knew.

"Uncle Gu." Teng Zhi stopped and greeted him politely.

Gu Wangshan stopped and asked the car next to him to wait for a moment. He greeted her, "Azhi, are you here to see Si Yan?"

Teng Zhi shook her head. "Aunt Xie invited me to order a set of autumn clothes this afternoon."

Gu Wangshan nodded.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, "A few days ago, Si Yan took a girl away from our drinking party. I think she's from your company. The young people nowadays are really working too hard. We old people don't even drink much at the table."

This sounds like casual chat, but if you think about it carefully, it reveals a lot of information.

Xie Siyan took away a girl from her company.

——Doesn’t this clearly tell her that Xie Siyan is cheating outside?

Teng Zhi tried hard to maintain her expression and couldn't turn around and leave.

It was not until he said goodbye to Gu Wangshan that he walked towards Xie's house with a heavy heart, and his mood was no longer the same as before.

I thought about it all afternoon.

Teng Zhi sent a message to Xie Siyan: Are you free to have a quick meal together tonight?

Qi Yun had told Xie Siyan about Teng Zhi coming over to help her elders make clothes. Since it was a simple matter, there was no reason for him to refuse.

Replied quickly: OK.

The two met at a famous rooftop revolving restaurant in Beijing.

Good atmosphere, light dishes.

Xie Siyan didn't know if he had no appetite, as he barely ate any of the food.

Teng Zhi watched him put down his chopsticks and asked him, "Is it not to your taste?"

Xie Siyan shook his head, looking like he had no interest in talking.

Teng Zhi hesitated, then asked directly, "Si Yan, I don't understand you. Mu Jia is supposed to be just your brother-in-law's ex, so why are you so nice to her? Uncle Gu said today that you deliberately went to the drinking party and took her away... Do you have such a strong sense of morality?"

Xie Siyan didn't say anything, but just picked up the tissue calmly, wiped it briefly, and then slowly raised his head to look at her.

Teng Zhi looked at his expression behind the thin silver glasses, and her heart skipped a beat: "I'm afraid you two have another relationship?"

"You think too much." Xie Siyan said.

“That’s…?”

"I just saw that she was drunk and sent her home."

"You're sending her home?" Teng Zhi suddenly broke down and laughed sarcastically, "You're sending her home, right? Was that your first time at the bar?"

There was a long silence.

Teng Zhi's voice was sharp in the silence, and seemed abrupt in the private dining room. "Does Cheng Yu'an know about this? You're brothers!"

"When she was with me, she was a virgin."

Xie Siyan was very direct. He looked straight ahead, not dodging or evading, and spoke directly: "What's the big deal with Cheng Yu'an? Do you think I mind?"

"Then what position do you put me in by agreeing to go on a blind date?" Teng Zhi was already irritated by his attitude, her body uncontrollably leaning forward. If it weren't for her good upbringing, she would have completely lost her composure at this moment.

Xie Siyan: "She won't affect your status."

Tengzhi felt like he was slapping her in the face.

"So what if we... When are you going to break up with her?"
