Chapter 132: It naturally takes time to digest such a blow.
"Have you been together for a long time?"
Mu Jia continued to ask.
Xie Siyan stared at Mu Jia's face in a daze, and calmly changed the subject.
Raised his hand and pinched the tip of her nose:
"Why are there so many questions today?"
Mu Jia spoke in a muffled voice, snuggled into his arms, her eyes a little moist, and her tone was half true and half false: "I think you were too arrogant at that time, which left a big shadow on me."
That was the first time she mustered up the courage to pursue a boy, and it was the first step she took after secretly loving him for a long time and imagining many plots.
She originally thought that since he was not opposed to getting close to her at that time, there was a chance.
In the end, he didn't even give her a chance to pursue her, and his attitude was so cold that she cried after he left.
Xie Siyan's eyes darkened, and he suddenly turned over and pressed her down on the quilt.
He clasped her restless wrist with his fingers and pressed it against the pillow.
His tall nose touched her nose, and his voice was fierce, "Isn't it humble enough now? I think you don't want to sleep tonight."
…
Stayed up all night.
When it was just getting light, Mu Jia managed to close his eyes.
The sky outside the window went from pitch black to pale blue. Mu Jia felt that the night was particularly long. It was noon when he opened his eyes again.
The dazzling sunlight shines through the gauze curtains and directly onto my eyelids.
Mu Jia raised his hand to cover himself, the bed beside him was already cold.
Xie Siyan left early in the morning.
She propped up her aching body and sat up, and found a cup of honey water on the bedside table. At the bottom of the cup was a note with flamboyant words written on it: Get up and give me news.
Mu Jia lowered his eyes and glanced at the note. His fingertips paused and the note fell lightly into the trash can.
She didn't send a message.
The little rabbit had slipped out of the bedroom at some point and was squatting beside the coffee table, looking around curiously.
Looking at this little guy, Mu Jia suddenly remembered that when Xie Siyan was fighting on the bed last night, it jumped over from time to time to watch.
Her bedroom door had that plastic door opening that made it useless to close it.
Xie Siyan was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said he wanted to stew it. Mu Jia thought of this scene and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
But the smile froze before it reached his eyes.
She shook her head, squatted down, and stretched out her hand to the little rabbit: "Come here."
The snow-white ball immediately pricked up its ears and jumped into her arms.
Mu Jia gently stroked its soft fur, added water and food to it, and held it in his arms for a while.
Finally, she put the bunny in a pet cage, went downstairs, and took it to the pet shop next door. She sent a message to Song Mingxi, "I'm busy lately. You can take this bunny home and raise it for a while."
The phone vibrated, and Song Mingxi replied in seconds: [Okay, how long?]
Mu Jia stared at the screen, his fingertips hovering above the keyboard for a long time before he slowly typed: [It depends.]
Song Mingxi has been coveting this little bunny for a long time. Every time she came to her apartment, she would hold the little bunny tightly.
Especially after the marriage, the Zhou family decorated the wedding room as a villa with a garden. Song Mingxi specially cleared a lawn and kept talking about taking Xiaotu on vacation.
After returning home, Mu Jia tidied up the house simply.
In fact, there is no need to clean up -
Mrs. Xie made her an offer that she would not refuse.
She simply packed up the important items: a few photo albums, a jewelry box given by her mother, and a diary locked in a drawer.
The courier came to her door and she filled in the delivery address of the package.
"Wuzhou, huh?"
"right."
After completing a series of procedures, Mu Jia sent a message to Mrs. Xie, "I want to see you tomorrow at 3 pm, at the Peninsula Hotel. Is it convenient for you?"
——
In the hotel cafe.
The afternoon sun poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Mu Jia sat by the window, looking out from time to time.
Fifteen minutes have passed since the agreed time.
Outside the glass window, a black Bentley drove up from a distance and slowly stopped in front of her. The driver trotted around to the back seat and opened the door respectfully.
Cheng Yu got out of the car wearing high heels, a beautifully tailored Chanel suit, and a pearl necklace around her neck that shone with a warm luster.
When he sat down, the Hermès Birkin was casually placed aside.
The jewels on her wrist all looked like they were from an auction. Mu Jia looked away, nodded slightly, and tried his best to appear neither humble nor overbearing.
"Hello, Auntie."
Cheng Yu picked up the coffee cup in front of him and took a sip. "Just tell me."
"Like you said, love is not as important as career prospects. I'm still young and can't ruin my future. My family can't afford it..."
Cheng Yu glanced at her, his eyes revealing his appreciation for her words, and said casually: "Your thinking is quite clear."
Mu Jia didn't say anything.
"No wonder Si Yan likes you."
Cheng Yu's gaze fell on the face in front of her, which was not made up but still considered extremely beautiful. Her well-maintained hand was holding a coffee cup.
She also came from a young age. Which man doesn't look at the face?
Yirou is already pretty, but I didn’t expect there is someone even prettier here. It’s no wonder that my son is so confused.
However, his family background did not allow him to be so stupid.
Cheng Yu's chaotic thoughts briefly flashed through his mind before he retracted his gaze. "Send me your resume. The Xie family has many partners in North America, such as Citigroup and Morgan Stanley... Do you have a favorite company? Quantitative analysis, investment banking... Have you considered which direction to pursue in the future? You're good-looking, so investment banking would suit you well..."
Mu Jia pursed her lips, not happy about the courtesy.
This compliment was like saying that a set of tableware looked good, full of condescending comments. Of course, she was qualified to do so.
Cheng Yu is not a rich and idle person.
When she was young, she graduated from a prestigious university and had worked in the workplace for many years. When she spoke about her life at this moment, she really looked like an elder who was patiently guiding and giving advice.
Every suggestion hits the mark.
His words were flawless, and even the olive branch he extended was packaged just right.
But despite being so considerate and thoughtful, Mu Jia felt even more bitter.
She lowered her eyes, staring into the coffee cup. Her reflection swayed, her long eyelashes casting a shadow beneath her eyes, perfectly masking her surging emotions. "The company I'm joining... I'll think about it."
Mu Jia's voice was very soft.
"good."
Cheng Yu took an elegant sip of coffee and put down the cup. "Don't worry, his father has many connections in Europe and America." After a pause, he added meaningfully, "Even if you want to start over in another country, we can arrange it."
Mu Jia nodded, with little expression on his porcelain-white face.
The sunlight shone on her through the French windows. Mu Jia stirred the coffee mechanically. "If you have something to do, you can go first. I will..."
Wait a moment.
Of course Cheng Yu understood.
For a girl of this age, it will naturally take time to digest such a blow.
If she was happy at the moment and nothing happened, she would have to worry about her son's opinion.
"good."
