After Xiang Jin got into the car, she didn't dare to look at him, so she didn't notice anything unusual. She just felt that the atmosphere in the car was much more oppressive, and she didn't dare to speak.
He drove very fast and arrived at Fengjia Village in less than an hour.
"Thank you. Could you please leave your bank account number so I can transfer the medical expenses to you?" She got out of the car and handed him the note.
"Why didn't you ask for my phone number? That way, I could have taken the opportunity to contact you and create some chances." His tone was cold and sarcastic.
Xiang Jin remained silent: "A bank card will do."
Having decided to spend her life with Jia Nian, even if she didn't love him, she wouldn't betray him. Besides, this person in front of her would never even look at her, so why should she humiliate herself?
The man started the car: "If you want to pay back the money, bring it to Feng Rong yourself."
After saying that, he quickly turned a corner and sped off into the city.
Xiang Jin stood there stunned. She sighed deeply and only turned and went into the house after a long while.
Feng Jianian did not return that evening, and he did not reply to her messages.
A little worried about his safety, she had no choice but to send a message to Su Ming. Half an hour later, Su Ming replied, "Sister-in-law, my brother has been extremely busy these past two days, working overtime all night. Please forgive him if he hasn't replied to your messages."
"It's good that everyone is alright." Her tense nerves relaxed, and she washed up and went to bed.
On the other side, Su Ming also let out a long sigh of relief after sending the message.
The entire conference room was shrouded in a low-pressure atmosphere. Fengrong's financial management team kept their heads down, not daring to breathe.
I don't know what happened, but during today's meeting, their boss suddenly flew into a rage and berated everyone mercilessly. The reason for his outburst was simply because there was a punctuation mark wrong on a report.
It's already late at night, and the boss shows no sign of calming down. Everyone is still hungry, and the days are incredibly difficult.
If this continues, something bad will happen.
Having no other choice, Su Ming secretly sent a message to Gu Feiyang, asking him to come to the rescue.
Gu Feiyang was very helpful, arriving at the Fengrong Group's high-level conference room half an hour later. He said he was hungry and pitifully asked Murong Xiao to go out for a late-night snack.
Murong Xiao ignored him.
Gu Feiyang continued to sit there pitifully, pouting as he looked at his brother without saying a word.
About half an hour later, Murong Xiao shot him a cold look: "How long are you planning to sit here?"
"I'll go when you take me out to eat, brother." He still looked pitiful and hugged his arms tightly, looking like a spoiled woman.
Murong Xiao: "..."
With Gu Feiyang present, Murong Xiao's tone of voice became inexplicably lower when he cursed. After the meeting had been deadlocked for half an hour, he finally said indifferently, "Meeting adjourned."
Then he strode out of the conference room.
"You guys have to treat me to hot pot sometime, the extra spicy kind!" Gu Feiyang made a face at everyone, then chased after Murong Xiao.
Others: Ah... finally we can breathe... if we had stayed any longer, we probably would have died here...
The two went to get something to eat first, and then went to their usual bar.
The place offers a high degree of privacy and freedom of movement, so there's no need to worry about being secretly photographed or harassed. The two ordered some drinks and found a window seat to start drinking.
"Brother, I'm in a bad mood." Gu Feiyang pouted, looking utterly aggrieved.
"Recently, a girl has been incredibly nice to me, showing me great care and concern. Just when I started to think I might like her a little, she told me that she only sees me as a younger brother!" Gu Feiyang said indignantly.
"How could you do this? You stirred up a pool of spring water and then didn't take responsibility. That's too much!"
Murong Xiao sneered: "Weren't you still thinking about your white moonlight? When did you start falling for someone else?"
"I can't find my white moonlight, what can I do?" Gu Feiyang was even more distressed. After searching for so many years like looking for a needle in a haystack, he hadn't found a single clue, and he was almost in despair.
The two brothers drank their wine in silence, neither of them saying a word.
"Brother, why are you in a bad mood?" Gu Feiyang asked.
Murong Xiao gazed at the night view outside the window: "I'm in a very good mood."
The aura was so low that even Gu Feiyang, the little sun, felt cold. He rubbed his hands together and sighed, "Brother, it's hard not to think of women when you're like this."
Murong Xiao turned to look at him.
"You look like you're tormented by love! Tsk tsk tsk, I never thought that even Master Xiao would suffer from the pain of love. How strange, how strange."
Murong Xiao said coldly, "Say 'troubled by love' again, and I'll beat you into being troubled by love."
Gu Feiyang jumped back three zhang (approximately 10 meters) and said, "Violence won't solve anything, bro, calm down!"
"I'm just angry."
"Really? You look more like you're jealous!" Gu Feiyang rolled his eyes, ruthlessly exposing his lie.
A cold gaze swept over them.
Gu Feiyang shivered several times, feeling like he was about to freeze: "I was wrong, I was just angry, it was my fault. But brother, what are you angry about?"
What are you angry about?
Murong Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, probably dissatisfied with her answer, nothing more.
That woman dared to say something like "it's just about living together." What was warmth to him was merely a matter of cohabitation to her.
Oh.
It's utterly ridiculous.
Since that's the case, there's no need for him to pay attention to her anymore. After all, it's just a game, something he initially found interesting.
It seems he's been indulging in this for too long; it's time to pull himself out.
……………………
Xiang Jin's life returned to normal.
She leaves work on time every day, goes home to cook, and without those unpleasant things, her life is quite peaceful.
Feng Jianian has been working overtime these past few days and hasn't even had time to reply to messages, but she doesn't care. She's gotten used to living alone all these years and doesn't feel anything is wrong.
That day, Ke Yuyan went to the warehouse to plead with Xiang Jin for mercy.
She had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, and her overall condition was very poor.
She tugged at Xiang Jin's clothes in a low voice, on the verge of tears several times: "Xiang Jin, I really just wanted to humiliate you at the class reunion. I didn't expect Jiang Zhiqiang to be so violent towards you. Could you please plead with Master Xiao for me?"
In just a few days, her family's business suffered a cash flow crisis and was on the verge of bankruptcy. Her father's hair turned white overnight, and when she went out to seek connections, she was defiled by a group of filthy people... She has already received her retribution.
If she had known that Xiang Jin's backer was Murong Xiao, she wouldn't have dared to touch her even if it meant death. But it was too late to say anything; everything was ruined.
Xiang Jin pushed her hand away: "Sorry, I don't know any Master Xiao, so I can't plead for you."
"But what Master Xiao said, he—"
“I have nothing to do with him, and he would never stand up for someone like me. Besides, you've ruined me, why should I help you? Everything you're going through is your own fault.”
Xiang Jin tossed the completed message to her and went back to work.
After that, Ke Yuyan never came to see her again.
