Chapter 111: Stay there for me.
Seeing the engagement date approaching day by day.
Xie Siyan hasn't found anyone yet.
While he was tiredly dealing with Shen Xingchu and Xie's mother, he was looking for someone in private without making a big fuss.
The original plan was that as soon as the engagement party was over, he would take back control of China Construction, and the marriage could be carried out at his discretion, or put on hold if he didn't want to.
Now it's just causing trouble.
In Zhou Xu’s wedding room.
Xie Siyan tapped his knuckles on the wooden table in front of him, his voice low, "I'll ask again, where is Mu Jia?"
Song Mingxi subconsciously shrank back.
Zhou Xu supported her body and took her into his arms. He turned his head and looked at Song Mingxi beside him. His tone was deliberately relaxed as he confirmed with her, "Wife, you really don't know, right?"
Song Mingxi's fingers unconsciously twisted the corner of his clothes.
The fabric wrinkled between her fingers.
She shrank her neck, avoiding Xie Siyan's sharp gaze, and spoke in a voice so soft that it was almost inaudible, "I've been at home preparing for pregnancy for the past two months and haven't even left the house. That day...that day we went to my mother-in-law's house for dinner, Zhou Xu, do you remember?"
The words "preparing for pregnancy" suddenly came into his ears, and Zhou Xu couldn't help but look at her deeply.
"Ah, yes."
He quickly took over the conversation, "Yes, yes, I just remembered that my mother can testify."
He took out his cell phone and dialed a number under Xie Siyan's suspicious gaze.
It was indeed Zhou's mother's number.
"Mom, didn't we go home for dinner last Friday? You even made chicken soup..."
Zhou's mother's hesitant voice came from the other end of the phone, "Yeah, Mingxi even praised the soup for being delicious... What's the matter? Do you want to drink it again? But I'm out today."
The shopping guide's voice could be heard faintly in the background.
…
The call ended.
The atmosphere in the room was still stagnant.
Liu Heng, who followed, tried to ease the tense atmosphere, "Si Yan, perhaps separating temporarily would be beneficial to both of you..."
"What benefits?" Xie Siyan glanced over coldly.
Doctor Liu could only continue to make up stories, "...After being apart for a while, you might become more mature in your relationship..."
Xie Siyan glanced at him and asked, "Do you think there will be a future if we can't find the person?"
Liu Heng, "..."
Xie Siyan rarely stood in front of the KIC Group building.
He looked up at the towering glass curtain wall. The glaring sunlight made him squint slightly. He looked away, took a deep breath, and walked straight into the building.
No one dared to stop us along the way.
The senior management quickly invited the person to the reception room. When they learned that they were personally looking for someone, the smile on their faces froze for two seconds.
The senior executive took a look at the person in front of him and thought, he is just a young man after all, and he is playing missing.
This love story is really interesting.
For a moment, he was reminded of the passionate years when he and his wife first got together.
Xie Siyan was in a rage, and the higher-ups didn't dare to treat him with disrespect. The head of the human resources department quickly pushed the door open and came in with a polite smile on his face.
"Has Mu Jia come to work recently?" The senior executive looked at the human resources manager and got straight to the point.
The HR manager's smile froze, and the shock he felt when he received the call just now replayed in his mind. "Ms. Mu has taken a long vacation and hasn't been here for a while."
"You haven't come yet? You haven't handed over your work."
"No."
The HR manager left the reception room.
Xie Siyan nodded, too lazy to talk any more. After a brief greeting with the senior management, he turned and walked outside.
In the corridor, several employees were gathered together, talking in low voices.
When they saw him passing by, they immediately dispersed and only gathered together after the man had left.
"Is that Mr. Xie from China Construction? I heard he's here to see Mu Jia?"
"Do you remember that rumor?"
"What rumors?"
"Boss Xie's sister stole Mu Jia's ex-boyfriend..."
“…Is this true?”
"Who knows? But if it's true, then Mu Jia is really miserable. I don't know what he's doing here now..."
-
After Xie Siyan left KIC, he sent people directly to Wuzhou.
In Wuzhou, at the gate of the residential compound where Mu Jia's parents lived, two men in suits stood in front of the door and raised their hands to knock on it.
“Dongdongdong——”
There were footsteps inside the door.
Then, the door was opened a crack, revealing the face of a middle-aged woman with a slightly wary look.
"Who are you?" Mu's mother looked at the newcomers, her brows slightly furrowed. "Are you looking for Old Mu?"
"No, we are here to see Miss Mu."
One of them smiled professionally. "Hello, we're Miss Mu's partner in Beijing. We saw that her emergency contact address was here, so we took the liberty of visiting her... It involves a payment for goods."
"Payment? From the company?" Mu's mother's expression relaxed slightly, but she was still a little wary. "She's working in Beijing now, not here."
"Has she been back recently?"
"No." Mu's mother shook her head. "She's very busy at work. She hasn't been home since the Spring Festival."
The two looked at each other, and one of them nodded slightly: "Okay, we understand. Sorry for disturbing you."
Wait until the door closes.
One of them made a phone call: "Mr. Xie, we are at Miss Mu's doorstep. Her mother said that Miss Mu has not returned to Wuzhou recently. The last time she came back was during the Spring Festival."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.
Then, Xie Siyan's voice came, low and cold:
"It doesn't matter."
He simply ordered, "Stand there."
——He didn't believe it, she might never come home.
One day, she will come back.
And he can afford to wait.
——
The people sent by Xie Siyan waited outside the Mu family compound in Wuzhou for a full five days.
Two men in black suits, like two sculptures, took turns guarding the entrance of the community from early morning to late at night.
Although they deliberately kept their distance, they still attracted the attention of their neighbors.
"Hey, what do you think this is?" In the kitchen, Chen Lifang was stir-frying shredded pork with green peppers in a pan while looking downstairs.
"They haven't left yet?"
"yes."
Chen Lifang turned off the fire and turned to chat with her husband. "I've seen those two people before. They knocked on the door last week and asked if Mu Jia was there. What do you think? Could they have caused some trouble?"
"Call and ask."
Mu Jia changed his phone card and didn't receive the call.
Chen Lifang found Song Mingxi after many twists and turns. Song Mingxi called Mu Jia, and Mu Jia called his mother back.
"Jia Jia, what on earth were you doing out there?"
Chen Lifang's voice was filled with anxiety. "There have been two men in black suits guarding our door for the past two days. The neighbors are all talking about it..."
Mu Jia's fingers suddenly clenched the sheets. She walked to the window. The height of the 28th floor of the hotel made her feel dizzy. "Mom, don't worry. It's just... just some disputes at work."
"What kind of dispute is this...do you need to send someone to keep an eye on it?"
Mu Jia, "..."
Mu Jia couldn't explain it, so he could only comfort his parents briefly, hung up the phone, and then flipped to a number on his phone. He hesitated and dialed it.
