Chapter 112 Sometimes playing the victim is also a way
The phone vibrated on the desk.
Xie Siyan lowered his eyes, glanced at the screen, paused slightly, and pressed the answer button, "Finally you're calling?"
"Xie Siyan, don't look for me anymore."
On the other end of the phone, Mu Jia's breathing was very light, as if he was deliberately suppressing some emotions.
Xie Siyan's eyes darkened, "What do you mean?"
"You're getting engaged soon, and you're asking me what I mean."
"Xie Siyan, either you don't get engaged, or we break up... I've already resigned from my company." Her voice was calm, and at this point, she lowered it, as if muttering to herself, "I know you can't give up on the engagement... so let's end it here."
Xie Siyan lowered his voice and said, "First, let me tell you whether you are pregnant or not..."
Mu Jia dug her nails into her palms and bit her lip. "No, I took medicine. During that time, my stomach was upset..."
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the line.
A thin layer of sweat broke out on Mu Jia's back as she waited for his reply.
Xie Siyan was silent for a moment. "Okay. I can choose not to look for you," he said lightly, then changed the subject, "but breaking up is impossible."
Mu Jia was so angry that he went crazy, "Xie Siyan, can you be more normal? It doesn't make sense for me to be with you after you get married..."
"I didn't say I wanted to get married."
A hint of shrewdness appeared on his face. "It's just an engagement. Cheng Yu'an has been engaged before." He played with his lighter. "That's impossible. He even had a child marriage. Later, the other family fell, and the matter was settled."
Mu Jia was stunned.
She really didn't know about this - Cheng Yu'an never mentioned it.
But now is not the time to discuss this at all.
"I'm talking to you."
"Besides, he might have his own reasons for the child marriage."
Xie Siyan's eyes suddenly turned cold when he heard her obviously partial tone. "Aren't you too good at playing double standards?"
——
Mu Jia hung up the phone and went to the hospital.
The lights in the hospital corridor were cold and dazzling.
"Miss Mu, this is your medicine. Take it twice a day after meals."
The doctor handed her the prescription and his eyes lingered on her pale face for a moment. "If the symptoms persist, I recommend a follow-up visit in a week."
"OK."
Mu Jia thanked him softly and stuffed the medicine bag into his bag.
She walked very fast, as if something was chasing her.
PARKING LOT.
She opened the car door and got in, but didn't start the car.
Her fingers tightened on the steering wheel, her knuckles turning white. In the rearview mirror, her eyes were slightly red, and there were dark shadows under her eyes left by days of insomnia.
The navigation destination was not the apartment, but the Hyatt Hotel near the development zone.
The receptionist took the ID card with a smile and said, "Ms. Lin, your suite is on the 28th floor. Here is the room card."
Mu Jia nodded.
The ID card was arranged by Song Mingxi, an inconspicuous waiter in the KTV with a clean background and no flaws.
The elevator goes up.
The phone vibrated, and a message from Song Mingxi popped up: [Have you called your aunt?]
Mu Jia replied: [Yes.]
The other party called immediately: "Jia Jia, how are you feeling recently?"
"I still have a little stomachache..." She leaned against the wall of the ascending elevator and spoke softly, "But it shouldn't be a big deal."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Song Mingxi knew she was probably lying.
That day at the hospital, when she took Mu Jia away, the doctor told her privately, "Ms. Mu's physical condition is not ideal. If conditions permit, it is recommended that she be hospitalized for observation."
There was a brief silence, and Mu Jia was defeated.
"Okay, my stomach still hurts a bit..."
It was raining heavily that day. At the hospital, Mu Jia was picked up by Song Mingxi, and she asked someone to dispose of the nearby surveillance cameras. Later, she did not return to the apartment, but directly checked into a hotel nearby.
After a few days, we moved to our current more remote location.
This area is a development zone, farther from the city center, and the environment is better. But Mu Jia hasn't been able to rest well recently. He can't sleep every night, and his stomachache has become more severe.
There's very little information in the media about Xie Siyan's engagement. After all, he's quite secretive. Apart from what he reveals in interviews, he rarely reveals his private life, with his trip to Japan being one example...
-
After his stomachache got a little better, Mu Jia got up and went downstairs to buy some midnight snacks.
When I returned to the room, I suddenly noticed a figure standing in the corridor.
Xie Siyan played with the room card in his hand, his eyes fixed on her, "Would you like me to come in and sit down?"
Mu Jia looked at him warily and stepped back.
After not seeing him for a week, he had some blue stubble on his chin, and his suit jacket was not as neat as before. It was obvious that he had not had much rest these days.
"No."
Her face turned cold, and she turned and ran away.
Back in the elevator, he quickly pressed the down button, "I remembered, I still have something to buy..."
Xie Siyan's face darkened.
The metal door slowly closed, revealing his figure as he suddenly took a step forward.
The elevator began to descend, and Mu Jia's breathing became very rapid.
She took a detour downstairs, bought some fruit, and walked around the park outside twice. She guessed that he couldn't wait to leave, so she prepared to go back.
But she didn't expect that she was so unlucky as to meet two homeless people.
"Girl, are you alone?"
Mu Jia retreated until he had nowhere to retreat. The other party pressed forward and said, "I noticed you were buying fruit just now. Give it to a friend. I work in a nearby factory."
Mu Jia looked at the other person's face and realized that he was probably a worker nearby.
"No, no."
Mu Jia turned his head and kept backing away, just before the homeless man pounced on him.
Her back hit a warm chest. Behind her, Xie Siyan, who had caught up with her, held her waist and glanced at the two homeless men with cold eyes. The homeless men also saw the man behind Mu Jia and ran away quickly.
"Jia Jia, it's not safe for you to live here alone." Xie Siyan's eyes were deep.
Mu Jia stepped out of his arms.
At this moment, Xie Siyan had no intention of letting go.
Mu Jia tried to pull her hand away but couldn't. She had no choice but to look up and glare at him, her voice cold, "Xie Siyan, I told you, we're breaking up."
"But I didn't agree." The man's voice was quick and grounded, his eyes fixed on her face. Mu Jia really didn't realize that he had the potential to be a rogue.
"You don't need both parties' consent to break up." "It's just an engagement, just to satisfy my mother," Xie Siyan asked her, "Haven't you noticed that I haven't been working recently?" Facing Mu Jia's suspicious eyes, he explained, "Yes, I was dismissed. If you don't obey, the entire Xie family's business will have nothing to do with me."
Xie Siyan had selfish motives.
When he spoke of this incident, he also exaggerated the consequences. In reality, the Xie family couldn't find another heir besides him. Sometimes, playing the victim can be a good tactic.
Mu Jia's resistance to him relaxed briefly, but soon he erected an iron wall around him again, not allowing anyone to get close.
"Xie Siyan," she lowered her voice and said coldly, "Even if we weren't engaged, I wouldn't want to continue."
Xie Siyan's eyes deepened, and he asked in a low, hoarse voice, "Why?"
