Chapter 120 "Get out of the way. I want to go home."
There was a brief silence on the terrace.
Xie Siyan looked at her deeply.
Bai Yirou didn't know the specific details of the two people and really thought that this engagement party was for real.
But she is definitely not the kind of person who plays tricks behind the scenes.
I just worry too much.
Xie Siyan frowned and was too lazy to say more to Bai Yirou.
He walked out of the villa without looking back and opened the car door.
Amid the roar of the engine, his knuckles turned white as he gripped the steering wheel.
In the rearview mirror, the Cen family villa gradually moved away and finally merged into the twilight.
In the night.
Si Yan's sports car was speeding on the road.
He held the steering wheel with one hand and opened his phone with the other, clicked on the address book and found Mu Jia's name.
His fingertips hovered over the dial keys.
He suddenly stopped—
The message could not be sent.
The other party has turned on friend verification.
The cold light of the screen reflected on his suddenly gloomy face.
Xie Siyan slammed on the brakes, and the tires made a sharp sound as they scraped against the asphalt road.
He stared at the red exclamation mark, his knuckles turning white from the strain.
In the rearview mirror, his eyes were cold.
The phone was thrown hard onto the passenger seat, bouncing up and down again.
——
When Song Mingxi received the call, he was pouring warm water for Mu Jia.
The housekeeper's urgent voice came from the other end of the phone: "Miss, the master has had a heart attack and is being rushed to the hospital!"
"Jia Jia, I'm sorry, I have to go back right away."
Song Mingxi grabbed his coat in a panic.
She swiped her fingers quickly on the address book, "I'll find someone to accompany you..."
The contact list scrolled up and down, and many of them were unfamiliar to Mu Jia. It was late now, and it was not safe to ask the club's waiter to come over.
Her finger finally stopped on a familiar name - Cheng Yu'an.
Half an hour later.
Cheng Yu'an rushed to the hospital exhausted.
He was wearing a simple white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and it was obvious that he was in a hurry to go out.
"Jia Jia..." He stood at the end of the corridor, his voice very soft.
Mu Jia leaned weakly against the wall, his face paler than the hospital walls.
Cheng Yu'an certainly knew that Xie Siyan was getting engaged today.
But he didn't attend today's engagement party.
He and Xie Ling did not show up together, and the people around them did not suspect anything. They just thought that the couple went out together. The two families discussed and decided to announce the divorce news next month to avoid Xie Siyan's wedding news and not affect each other.
"Song Mingxi asked me to take you home. Where have you been living recently?"
"apartment."
Xie Siyan was already engaged, and the next step was to get married, so why would he harass her again? So she didn't stay in the hotel for long.
——
Xie Siyan's black car stopped silently downstairs of Mu Jia's apartment.
The car window was half-rolled, and the cigarette between his fingers flickered in the night.
There was a long pile of ash.
He looked up, and the familiar window was still pitch black.
He only came to his senses when the cigarette burned to the end and burned his fingers.
Just as Xie Siyan was about to start the car and leave, a dazzling headlight suddenly cut through the night.
Cheng Yuan's car slowly stopped in front of the unit door.
A familiar license plate number came into view.
Xie Siyan's fingers suddenly clenched the steering wheel.
The leather creaked under the weight.
He stared at the car until the passenger door opened and Mu Jia's slender figure appeared in his sight.
She looked thinner than the last time they met, and her frail shoulders seemed as if they could be blown away by the night wind at any moment.
Cheng Yu'an quickly walked around to the other side and reached out to help her.
Two people are talking face to face.
Half a minute later, Mu Jia got out of the passenger seat completely, and Cheng Yu'an followed her downstairs, ready to take someone upstairs.
Xie Siyan wanted to get off the car as well.
But he suddenly remembered what day it was and stopped abruptly.
He lit another cigarette.
The phone screen suddenly lit up.
A piece of news caught my eye:
[Exclusive Live Report: Live from the engagement party of the Xie Group's crown prince, with his fiancée Shen Xingchu making a sweet appearance]
In the picture.
Shen Xingchu was wearing a white dress and her figure was eye-catching.
Xie Siyan's eyes turned cold and he called his assistant.
"Clean up the online news for me."
His voice was chilling. "Are you being paid just to let reporters sneak into Xie's house?"
The assistant on the other end of the phone was visibly stunned.
Dealing with scandals... I don't think it's within his job scope, right?
"Okay, Mr. Xie."
The assistant whispered.
Hang up the phone.
Xie Siyan tapped his knuckles on the steering wheel.
His eyes were fixed on the lit window.
Ten minutes passed, and Cheng Yuan still did not show up at the apartment entrance.
He unlocked his phone for the third time.
His fingertips hovered over the familiar number, and he finally pressed it hard.
“Beep…beep…”
The busy tone is piercing.
Xie Siyan felt like he was slapped in the face.
He opened WeChat again and stared at the glaring red exclamation mark on the screen, his jawline tense.
Just when his anger was about to explode, Cheng Yu'an finally appeared at the door of the unit.
Xie Siyan's tense back relaxed slightly, but the next second -
"Wait a moment!"
Mu Jia chased out in slippers, holding an eco-friendly bag in her arms, and said breathlessly, "These...you can take them away."
Cheng Yuan lowered his head and saw broccoli, carrots and several boxes of fresh mushrooms neatly stacked in the bag.
Mu Jia pulled his collar closer uncomfortably, feeling a bit chilly in the night breeze. "The doctor said I need to nourish my stomach... but my cooking skills..."
Before she finished speaking, Cheng Yu'an smiled knowingly.
"good."
He took the bag casually.
When handing it over, his fingers accidentally brushed the back of her hand, "I'm sorry."
Mu Jia waved to him.
"It's okay. Goodbye."
Under Xie Siyan's gloomy gaze, Cheng Yuan's car finally drove away from the square in front of the apartment building.
Mu Jia turned around, but before he could walk into the apartment building, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by a force.
The familiar scent of cedar hit her, and her whole body stiffened. She slowly raised her head and met Xie Siyan's gloomy eyes.
"Thank you... Si Yan?"
Mu Jia's voice tightened, and the sour feeling in his chest surged up again.
Mu Jia opened her eyes slightly and her gaze fell on his clothes.
He wasn't wearing a suit. He must have changed his clothes after the engagement party. He shouldn't have come here today.
Without waiting for him to make another move, Mu Jia shook off his hand, turned around and walked towards the stairs in her slippers.
There were hurried footsteps behind me.
Xie Siyan took a few big steps to catch up with her and put his body directly in front of her.
"Have you found a new employer so quickly?"
The scene just now was still replaying in Xie Siyan's mind, and his voice was as cold as ice.
Mu Jia's pupils shrank slightly and he looked at him in disbelief.
If I remember correctly, today is his engagement day.
Now he looks like he's blaming her, as if she has done something wrong to him?
She opened her mouth and was about to argue when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach again. The pain that had just been relieved by the drip came back again.
She subconsciously lowered her eyes, bit her lip, pressed her hand on her upper abdomen, frowned, and whispered to him, "Get out of the way. I want to go home."
