Chapter 186 "Don't worry too much during the confinement period."

Does Song Mingxi disapprove of her relationship with Xie Siyan?

Not at all.

Song Mingxi was very supportive at the beginning, and it could even be said that he had been urging her to consider Xie Siyan.

Then why didn't you agree later?

Mu Jia's mouth twitched as she thought of Xie Siyan's confusing actions after she returned to China. She had to admit, even now, she still couldn't figure out what Xie Siyan meant. She could say she was being completely led by him.

...Song Mingxi's temper is a little tougher than her, so it's normal that he has no patience.

Mu Jia rubbed his temples to temporarily dispel his confused thoughts about the relationship between Xie Siyan and Chi Wu. Just as he was about to explain to Ethan that Song Mingxi had no intention of interfering in his feelings, he saw his friend already walking towards Xie Siyan in high heels, swaying gracefully.

Song Mingxi looked straight ahead, with an aggressive attitude as if he was about to bring an army to bear and punish the culprit.

"Mingxi..."

Mu Jia subconsciously opened his mouth to stop him, but only a slight sound came out, and the voice was stuck in his throat.

There were people everywhere, all very close to each other.

She didn't want to be the center of attention in the social circle of the rich and powerful.

Under Ethan's prying eyes, she forced herself to suppress her emotions and watched her friend stop in front of Xie Siyan.

"Why is Mr. Xie so alone?"

Song Mingxi took a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray, not caring whether he was out of confinement or not, or whether he could drink alcohol. He looked around meaningfully and asked, "Didn't you bring your girlfriend?"

The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for the surrounding guests to hear clearly.

Mu Jia couldn't hear their conversation clearly and could only stand there anxiously.

Ethan was an experienced person who was good at welcoming and seeing off people, and he could read people's expressions by looking at their faces. He glanced thoughtfully at her expression and raised his eyebrows.

Xie Siyan turned around and ignored Song Mingxi's rude tone.

The cuffs of his suit revealed a bony wrist. He raised his hand to adjust his collar, but before he could say anything, the person standing in front of him reacted first.

The person who was talking to Xie Siyan was Jiang Yao's brother, Jiang Zhongan. Upon hearing this, he turned his head in surprise, but quickly calmed down and asked calmly, "Mr. Xie has a girlfriend?"

Two years ago, the two people met because of Chen Fu Ji, and later carried out several business collaborations, so they became acquaintances.

"When did it happen?"

Jiang Zhongan was serious.

Before Xie Siyan could speak, Song Mingxi chuckled and teased, "Young Master Jiang has been 'cultivating in seclusion,' ignoring the secular world for how long?" Her red lips curled slightly, a hint of anger at the corners of her eyes that was not as bright as her eyes. Her voice sank, "Boss Xie's scandals are on the headlines of the financial and entertainment sections of all the major newspapers every day."

Jiang Zhongan was stunned when he heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. He probably felt that he had asked a stupid question.

He couldn't tell for a moment whether Song Mingxi's attitude was directed at Xie Siyan or was he unhappy with his ignorance, so he chose to smile shyly, not offending either side, "I've been too busy with business lately, sorry."

This sentence was an explanation to Song Mingxi and Xie Siyan, "I've been busy with the cargo ship in Southeast Asia lately, and I rarely even look at my phone."

The sincere words made several guests who were talking around turn their heads at the same time, wanting to know what was going on here.

Song Mingxi was unaware.

Anyway, she was the hostess of the banquet, and Xie Siyan was Zhou Xu's best friend. No matter how curious people around her were, they would not spread the gossip about her and Xie Siyan's quarrel, so she simply took out her cell phone.

Jiang Zhongan subconsciously lowered his head and saw Song Mingxi tapping the phone screen a few times with his fingertips, and a delicate young woman's face appeared on the screen.

"Is it beautiful?"

She handed the phone to Jiang Zhongan.

Jiang Zhongan just lowered his eyes and glanced at him, his eyes behind the lenses flashing slightly.

Since seizing power, the new leader of the Jiang family has been a vegetarian and a Buddhist, and has not cared about the secular world for a long time. However, he is not really a fool. Even if he is slow at this moment, he understands the atmosphere.

In that brief moment, the gentle smile on his face remained unchanged, as if he was truly just admiring a painting. However, his words of praise were unclear, "Mr. Xie's aesthetic taste remains the same as always."

It is not clear whether this statement is a compliment or an insult to Xie Siyan.

Xie Siyan pursed his lips and said nothing. When Jiang Zhongan and Song Mingxi were discussing just now, he didn't respond to Song Mingxi's sarcastic tone. But after Jiang Zhongan finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Song Mingxi, as if he were a real good friend, and started to advise -

"Don't worry too much during the confinement period."

"Don't let Zhou Xu worry about you anymore."

Song Mingxi was stunned at first, then her whole face turned red. He meant to imply that she was ignorant and wanted Zhou Xu to cover for her in everything.

Song Mingxi admitted that she had acted a little bit during her pregnancy, occasionally bothering Zhou Xu, and had lost some money in the stock market... but compared to the entire Zhou family's wealth, those were just a drop in the bucket, okay?

Song Mingxi stomped her high heels on the ground, lowered her voice, and glared at Xie Siyan, "You!"

She was so angry at Xie Siyan's obvious mockery that her fingertips trembled slightly, and even her carefully styled curly hair trembled slightly with her heavy breathing, but she couldn't get angry.

But because she was standing with her back to the crowd, no one around her could see her specific reaction.

Xie Siyan had already signaled to Jiang Zhongan and turned away.

After Song Mingxi vented her emotions and returned home empty-handed, Mu Jia finally got rid of this difficult "blind date" she had sent her on.

She also didn't understand why Mr. Zheng hadn't shown any interest in her just now, but after Song Mingxi went to Xie Siyan, he suddenly changed his attitude and started asking her about her well-being and asking her a hundred thousand questions.

Mu Jia patiently answered a few questions.

After asking him about it, I really didn't have the interest to discuss with him which restaurant in Los Angeles had the best truffles or which horse ranch he usually went to...

She is a worker who is very tired from working overtime every day. If she still wants to go horseback riding, she is playing with her life, right?

Mu Jia wiped the sweat off his face and made an excuse, "Master Zheng, I'm going to the locker room to rest for a while. Please go ahead."

Zheng Pingzhou nodded, but his eyes flickered to Xie Siyan who was walking away from Song Mingxi, and he gave her a charming smile, "I'll wait here for Miss Mu."

Mu Jia left as if escaping.

She had just walked into the dressing room provided for the banquet, and before she could even push the door open, a bony hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her in.

"Hmm."
