Chapter 144 I heard that Miss Ye is a good seedling that Mr. Xie found from the Opera Academy
Before he finished speaking, Xie Siyan's face became even colder.
Liu Heng glanced at him, shook his head, and motioned Zhou Xu to stop talking. He then asked, "Si Yan, what happened?"
Xie Siyan raised his hand and poured himself a glass of wine.
He is not of the alcoholic temperament.
Now, he has almost mastered the art of drinking a thousand cups without getting drunk. Xie Siyan poured himself a strong liquor, and the spicy stimulation of the liquor in his throat brought him a brief relaxation.
"My mother promised her a job at a major international financial institution," her voice cracked. "...a promotion and a raise. Maybe she even wrote a check."
"Then what?" Zhou Xu asked, slightly surprised.
Song Mingxi had no idea that Mu Jia was going abroad this time. He himself had only heard a few words from Xie Ling yesterday. He only knew that Mu Jia had gone abroad.
"And then she accepted it." Xie Siyan raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. As his Adam's apple rolled, the bottom of the glass hit the marble table in front of him heavily.
Xie Siyan had never been treated like this by a woman in his life. Zhou Xu and Liu Heng both fell silent.
The results are in front of us.
Need I ask?
Zhou Xu blamed himself for speaking too quickly.
"and you……"
Zhou Xu was speechless, and suddenly felt a little sympathy for his good friend, "How about you ask him in person..."
Xie Siyan didn't tell them that it was not as simple as just accepting the conditions.
Even his own phone calls were hung up by the other party. When he came out of the pub that day and turned on his phone at night, he saw that his contact information had been blocked.
He was silent for a long time, then raised the corner of his mouth with a hint of sarcasm, "Do I look cheap?"
Zhou Xu didn't know how to answer this question.
This circle lacks everything, but the thing it lacks the least is women.
Xie Siyan wanted to find someone and change one in a minute, but...
He asked patiently, "Is there some misunderstanding here?"
Xie Siyan said nothing.
He hoped it was a misunderstanding, but wasn't the result right in front of him?
No matter what means Cheng Yu used, threats or inducements, she had already made her choice.
…
-
The chirping of cicadas in midsummer gradually fades away.
Spring goes and autumn comes, and another year is coming to an end.
The Los Angeles sunshine poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Citibank's independent office, coating Mu Jia's desk with a layer of gold.
"Jia Jia, how are you doing lately?"
Song Mingxi's voice came from the phone, with a slightly electronic tone. Mu Jia pushed the financial report aside, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "Not bad."
She nodded to her assistant and quietly signaled to put down the coffee and leave.
On the other end of the video, Song Mingxi narrowed his eyes and looked at his friend carefully.
She wore a neatly tailored MaxMara suit and her long hair was neatly tied up, revealing her gentle and graceful profile.
"You are becoming more and more like a strong woman."
"Yeah?"
Mu Jia asked back softly, standing up and walking to the window.
The Los Angeles skyline is in full view, and everywhere is a scene of late autumn.
"How about you, how are you doing lately?"
Song Mingxi stroked her belly and said, "I have good news for you——"
"I'm going to be a mother."
Mu Jia showed a bit of surprise on his face, and quickly said, "Congratulations!"
Song Mingxi bit her lip, clutched her phone, and hesitated, "Jia Jia, this decision of going abroad... you won't regret it in the future, right?"
Mu Jia observed her expression, "What's wrong?"
"Xie Siyan's engagement with Shen Xingchu has been cancelled. He hasn't had a new girlfriend since you left..."
Mu Jia had heard Song Mingxi talk about this matter more than once before.
She smiled casually and lowered her eyes, "Didn't I tell you about this?"
Song Mingxi twisted his fingers and asked her, "Have you read the latest news?"
"What."
"Xie Siyan supports the actor."
Zhou Xu had just told Song Mingxi about the female star.
Song Mingxi felt that she was too protective of her own people. They had broken up a year and a half ago, and even if Xie Siyan found someone else, she had no right to be angry.
However, she still couldn't help but feel sorry for her best friend.
When she was with him, she was hiding from him and never had a proper status from the beginning to the end. It seemed like it was so difficult to get into their Xie family, and she even had to make a fuss about getting engaged.
Now, he is parading around town with an actor.
I heard that the girl was a top student at the Chinese Opera Academy, so Xie Siyan sent her to the National Centre for the Performing Arts with a wave of his hand, and she would soon go on a global tour.
I once saw Song Mingxi from a distance at a charity dinner. He was indeed very pitiful, with a moving look in his eyes, and he had the kind of charm in opera that makes people want to say something but cannot.
His taste is as specific as ever.
Mu Jia's hand holding the materials froze.
After a long while, he finally collected his emotions, slowly raised his face, and forced a smile, "I haven't heard of it."
Song Mingxi stared at her for two seconds.
He said "Oh" softly and swallowed back the sentence that the next stop of the tour was Los Angeles.
——
Get off work in the afternoon.
On the way home from the company, Mu Jia received a message.
[Jia Jia, I'm going to Los Angeles soon. Let's go see a show together tonight?]
During this year and a half, Cheng Yuan occasionally came to Los Angeles.
After their previous outing together, the two had a heart-to-heart talk, and he expressed his willingness to follow Mu Jia's wishes and return to being friends.
Since Cheng Yu'an could do this, Mu Jia couldn't refuse anymore. So he just didn't visit her often, sometimes only once every two or three months, and the two of them would just make an appointment to have a meal and watch a show.
Mu Jia didn't think much about it. While paying attention to the road conditions ahead, he replied to him, "Okay."
Cheng Yu'an received her reply, smiled happily, and put the phone back into his pocket.
The show is at 8 p.m.
Inside a large Chinese-style theater in Los Angeles.
This is a newly built Chinese-style theater in Los Angeles. It is said that the investor is a Chinese entrepreneur.
At seven forty, Mu Jia appeared at the door on time. Looking at the popcorn in Cheng Yu'an's arms, he suddenly felt as if he was back in college.
"Eat?"
Mu Jia smiled and wanted to say that he had already eaten dinner on the way here and might not be able to eat anything now.
She swallowed the words back before she could finish them. She just reached out and took it quietly, "Thank you."
Cheng Yuan smiled and said, "Come in, it's about to start."
He had two tickets in his hand. Mu Jia had paid attention to this troupe before. They had performed a very famous opera in China, which received unanimous praise at home and abroad.
It's nice to relax.
Cheng Yuan's reserved seat was in the front row. The two of them entered first and took their seats in the front row. Soon, the theater was filled with audiences and the performance began.
The lights gradually dimmed, the curtain slowly opened, and a spotlight fell, illuminating the octagonal stage in the center of the stage.
The opera performers made their grand entrance on stage.
The sound of the pipa rang out, and a young female actor in a moon-white costume appeared with small steps.
With her sleeves fluttering, Mu Jia looked at the carefully dressed face, and suddenly heard a conversation coming from the back row -
"I heard that this Miss Ye is a talented young talent that Mr. Xie specially recruited from the Chinese Opera Academy."
