Chapter 12 Socializing
Mu Jia's blood test report was quickly delivered by the nurse.
Black and white, clear and distinct——
Not pregnant.
Liu Heng handed the report back to her: "The hormone levels are normal. It's probably menstrual irregularities caused by work stress."
As he lowered his head to write a prescription, the pen made a light rustling sound on the paper.
"I prescribed some health-related medicines for you. Also..." He paused, then raised his eyes again, a soothing smile on his lips, a sign of a doctor: "Try to be more open-minded."
From beginning to end, he never asked a single question about her relationship with Xie Siyan.
-
Mu Jia came out of the hospital.
The early autumn wind blew fallen leaves towards her. She subconsciously clenched her silk scarf and followed Xie Siyan outside.
The temperature has dropped.
Xie Siyan stood three steps away, his eyes sweeping over her wind-blown hair—
She was wearing thin clothes and a silk scarf, looking pitiful.
Like a small white flower waving in the wind.
Xie Siyan suddenly thought of Teng Zhi's adjective.
Feeling a bit restless, he loosened his collar and spoke first:
"I'll take you back."
Then he said in a deep voice: "I was wrong last time."
——It seemed like an apology, but looking at his clear features and solemn expression under the sunlight, he didn’t seem to be admitting his mistakes.
When he arrived at the apartment door, Mu Jia recalled Liu Heng's expression just now. It was probably a playful one.
Was he wondering why his brother suddenly brought a girl over? Or was he wondering why they were so unclear about what was going on?
The sensor lights in the corridor flickered. Mu Jia grabbed Xie Siyan's sleeve, and the fine fabric wrinkled in her palm. The humming sound of mechanical operation came from the elevator shaft.
"Xie Siyan," she followed him into the elevator, her voice tense, "What kind of relationship are we now?"
She knew what this man meant.
The prince of the Xie family of China Construction, a favored child of heaven, from a distinguished family, who could turn the tide in the financial circle, was also the manipulator behind the separation of her and Cheng Yu'an, who had once casually acted.
In his memory, he casually judged: "You and Cheng Yu'an are like heaven and earth."
What about him?
Mu Jia clearly saw a trace of boredom in his eyes——
"What do you think our relationship is?" The incandescent light from the headlight cast a cold light on his glasses. He pushed his glasses and said perfunctorily, "That's what our relationship is."
Mu Jia bit her lip.
"You and Teng Zhi..."
"It's just a blind date." He said in a cold and indifferent manner, as if he didn't want to say anything.
Mu Jia was still unwilling to accept it: "You are the one who broke up Cheng Yu'an and me."
The elevator arrived, and with a "ding" sound, the metal door slowly slid open.
Xie Siyan took the lead, his shiny leather shoes making no sound on the corridor carpet. He casually glanced at the closed doors on both sides, his eyes wandering between the house numbers, and turned back to ask her, "Which one do you live in?"
"1702."
"So?" He walked up to her in a frivolous manner, his tobacco-scented breath puffing against her ear. "I broke up your good marriage... Do I have to compensate you with a Mrs. Xie?"
Mu Jia: “…”
This attitude left her speechless.
"Is this the way things are done in your circle?" She clenched her palms and questioned him.
Mu Jia wore a slim dress and a silk scarf today.
——Maybe he was afraid of being recognized in the hospital.
Xie Siyan found that the skirt was suitable for her, which made her waist look very thin and her figure very beautiful.
His mind moved slightly.
The next second, he followed his heart and put his arm around her waist. Mu Jia heard him whispering in her ear:
"Instead of dwelling on these things, why not think about what else you want from me?"
Mu Jia told Song Mingxi about this matter, and Song Mingxi called him a scumbag.
"How about I introduce you to someone else?"
She took out her phone and looked through the address book:
"Jia Jia, such a beautiful young girl. With your looks, as long as you want, men will line up to get your love number."
Mu Jia refused in a muffled voice: "Forget it. I don't want to be in a relationship anymore."
She looked haggard.
I don’t know if it’s because of the trouble Teng Zhi had with me before, or because I haven’t slept well recently.
Song Mingxi thought about it.
That’s right.
Anyone who experiences what happened to Cheng Yu'an and Xie Siyan would be deeply traumatized.
One of them was in love for two years and suddenly got engaged; the other was obviously just playing around, and the two of them were actually a couple... Who wouldn't feel disgusted by this?
"So what are your plans now?" Thinking of something, Song Mingxi asked her carefully again.
Mu Jia shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet."
Her current situation is very tricky.
Teng Zhi is involved in this.
It was impossible for her to resign on her own initiative. She joined Bank of China International through campus recruitment and went through three rounds of interviews before she got the offer.
I don’t know how many people I defeated in the process.
How could she let go of the top financial institution in the industry?
-
weekend.
Mu Jia participated in a business event.
Chinese style club.
Zhou Xu unexpectedly appeared at the dinner table, but did not chat with her.
There were leaders from the China Securities Regulatory Commission at the table. Mu Jia was in a bad mood, so he drank a few more glasses and had to run to the bathroom to vomit in the middle of the meal.
Zhou Xu saw this and called Xie Siyan: "Your cheongsam beauty is attending this kind of social event, are you okay with it?"
The photos sent are full of old men, all of whom are fat and chubby, and each has his own merits.
Xie Siyan noticed something and his eyes turned cold.
Zhou Xu sent him the address again: We are in VIP room A705 of Yanque Tower. You know who is here, so hurry up and come.
But before he could do anything, Mu Jia ran into an acquaintance in the corridor.
As Cheng Yu'an passed by her, he stretched out his arm and grabbed her.
"Mu Jia?" He frowned.
After that day, the two had no contact again.
Mu Jia doesn't like to be entangled with his ex, let alone his married ex.
His nose moved slightly, and he smelled the smell of alcohol from her: "Have you been drinking?"
In the workplace, it is inevitable to drink some alcohol.
Mu Jia shook off his hand, looked around alertly, quickly distanced herself from him, and then said "hmm" softly.
She was very cautious.
Cheng Yuan was a little sad about her reaction.
It seemed that for a moment, he could not accept the change in their relationship.
"Jiajia," he lowered his voice, wanting to go into the box with her, "Who's in there?"
Mu Jia stopped him.
"Some...leaders from the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission." She pursed her lips. "Business entertainment, you know."
Cheng Yuan approached her, his expression very disapproving: "Even if you're socializing, you can't drink so much... You have a weak stomach."
"I see."
Mu Jia interrupted him.
She left in a hurry, and Cheng Yu'an looked very sad behind her.
After returning to the table, Mu Jia did not restrain himself. No one knew what he was thinking, but he seemed to be determined to give up completely.
Even after the drinking party ended and Zhou Xu took a photo and sent it to someone, Mu Jia was still lying on the table.
"Miss Mu, Miss Mu."
A waiter came over and patted her on the shoulder and called her.
The leader next to him was helped into putting on his windbreaker: "Young female comrades nowadays really can't hold their liquor."
A figure appeared outside the door.
Everyone raised their heads and looked towards that side.
Xie Siyan walked straight across the table, passed a few people, and grabbed Mu Jia's wrist.
