Chapter 155 Please forgive me, I have something urgent to do.
"Mr. Xie——"
When Director Ma saw the box door open, he subconsciously looked over.
But only Xie Siyan came in. He was dressed neatly, but his shirt was slightly wrinkled.
Director Ma looked at the collar of his shirt and felt as if there was a little lipstick on his collar.
Something flashed through my mind.
Director Ma walked over and said, "Thank you, Mr.
Xie Siyan unbuttoned a button on his suit with his slender fingers and walked back to the table. He ignored the full glass of white wine on the table, but instead tore open the medicine box and took a hangover pill.
The bottom of the water glass knocked heavily against the marble tabletop.
Make a crisp sound.
"Please forgive me, I have something urgent to do."
The corners of his lips curled up into a distant smile, and he ignored Director Ma who took the initiative to chat with him. He had an attitude that he didn't take these little guys seriously. "All the expenses tonight will be charged to my account."
Director Ma didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that this person was much more outspoken than before. He didn't even seem to bother to find a decent excuse. After saying that, he turned around and pushed the door open and left.
Director Ma and the remaining people looked at each other, and someone said, "Keep going, keep going."
The singing and dancing in the box resumed.
——
End of the corridor.
In the fire escape, Xie Siyan loosened his tie and made a phone call.
"Si Yan," Liu Heng's deep voice came from the receiver, "We're upstairs in room 1902."
Xie Siyan hung up the phone and rubbed his temples with his knuckles.
Three minutes later.
In the private room upstairs, Xie Siyan fell onto the leather sofa as soon as he entered, with his long legs crossed on the coffee table, without even glancing at his friends beside him.
"Si Yan," Liu Heng put down his whiskey glass, his nose twitching slightly, catching the strong smell of alcohol on Xie Si Yan, frowning and asking, "Si Yan, how much have you drunk?"
"Social engagements." Xie Siyan raised his eyelids lazily, his voice hoarse.
He raised his hand to loosen his tie, revealing a patch of red skin on his collarbone, which had been rubbed during the scuffle in the corridor just now.
Liu Heng raised his hand and stuffed the ice water into his hand, saying casually, "With the people from the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission?" Seeing that Xie Siyan didn't answer, he suddenly laughed and said sarcastically, "These old guys always bully the young people."
Compared with those high-ranking officials who are in their forties and fifties and half buried in the ground, isn't Xie Siyan just a young man?
He didn't deny it, but he didn't say anything else.
When you are in the business world, you can’t avoid social engagements.
If it wasn't him, it would be someone else today.
Xie Siyan's fingertips tightened on the glass, the ice cubes clinked, he took a sip of ice water to suppress the bitterness of the pill that had just gone down his throat, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, looking like he didn't want to speak.
Liu Heng was not the type to enjoy idle chatter, and besides, Xie Siyan was not the main character of the party today, so he quickly covered him with his coat and left.
Outer room of the box.
Chi Zhao slumped in the sofa, his slender fingers twirling the crystal glass absentmindedly.
The light cast shadows of varying depths on his well-defined face, making his peach blossom eyes appear even colder and more indifferent.
Zhou Xu sat aside.
Her eyes moved back and forth between Chi Zhao and the door, her fingers unconsciously stroking the wedding ring on her ring finger.
Ever since Song Mingxi became pregnant, he has rarely been out. He didn't expect that when he finally did go out, he would have to watch such a big show.
Liu Heng sat down next to him and, for the first time, acted as a marriage relationship mediator.
“It’s reasonable for Miss Guan to want to get a marriage certificate. It’s been almost two years since your wedding.
He glanced at Chi Zhao with a hint of meaning, but didn't say the rest of his sentence -
Guan Yingxin has suffered two miscarriages in the past two years.
Now that I’m getting older, I feel more and more insecure.
"Do you have any concerns?" Zhou Xu interrupted as if he was laughing at a joke.
Chi Zhao sneered when he heard this, and the amber wine swayed lightly in the glass, "Trouble."
He opened his thin lips and uttered two cold words, "To prevent the division of property in the future..."
The words were not finished.
The door of the box was pushed open forcefully from the outside.
"Hey, Miss Guan!" The security guard caught up with her and froze in place when he met her eyes.
Guan Yingxin walked straight to Chi Zhao without looking around and threw a stack of documents on the coffee table.
The crystal glasses jingled.
"Want a divorce?"
Chi Zhao raised his eyes, his gaze so cold as if he was looking at a stranger.
There is no trace of the tenderness he used to indulge in racing for her. Only two years have passed and everything has changed.
Guan Yingxin blinked, trying desperately to see something in Chi Zhao's eyes, but unfortunately, there was nothing.
No tenderness, no attachment...
"Chi Zhao," Guan Yingxin's red lips trembled slightly, "Without a divorce certificate, how can we be considered divorced?"
Her voice was very soft.
But it echoed in the quiet box, the tone mocking, "What do you say?"
Chi Zhao suddenly stood up, pried her hand away from his sleeve, and instead pinched her chin, his eyes cold and stern. "You've gained a lot of benefits in the past few years," his voice was gentle and sweet, but his eyes were frighteningly cold. "I didn't hold you accountable for letting your cousin cause trouble back then, but you're still unsatisfied... Too greedy, aren't you?"
Seeing Guan Yingxin's expression becoming more and more painful.
Liu Heng was worried about someone dying, so as a doctor, he quickly stepped forward to dissuade her, "Chi Zhao, let go! She can't breathe."
"sister!"
Outside the box, a male voice sounded at the right moment.
He Chen appeared at the door at some point. Seeing the scene in the box, he took two steps forward and pulled Chi Zhao's hand away from Guan Yingxin's neck.
"How is it?" He patted the other person's back worriedly, watching Guan Yingxin bend over and cough.
"She should be fine," Liu Heng said from the side, "A Zhao didn't use her full strength just now..."
Before he finished speaking, He Chen raised his eyes and glared at the other person.
He hated these upper-class kids the most in his life. They relied on their family background and the support of their fathers to do things without any scruples, especially...
He Chen held Guan Yingxin with one hand and was about to walk out the door when his eyes fell on Zhou Xu, who had been silent.
He stopped in front of Zhou Xu.
"Is she... okay?" He Chen's voice tensed, his eyes passing over the wedding ring on Zhou Xu's ring finger.
After Song Mingxi got married, he actually looked for her.
Later, Liu Heng came forward and gave him the most loyal advice, asking him not to get involved with Song Mingxi anymore. He explained the pros and cons and told him that no matter what, the other party was already Mrs. Zhou.
The Zhou family will not allow a woman to bring shame to the family.
It was then that He Chen realized what kind of person he had missed and that there was really no possibility for them.
…
Zhou Xu was stunned.
He then recognized the person in front of him as Song Mingxi's ex before she married him.
They had met at that time.
But times are different now.
Now Zhou Xu and Song Mingxi had turned their fake play into a real one, and they even had a child. A sudden surge of competitive energy washed over him, and he licked his back teeth, grinning triumphantly. "I'm five months pregnant, thank you for your concern."
Before he finished speaking.
He Chen's body shook violently, as if someone had stabbed him in the chest. At the same time, Guan Yingxin also raised her head, with a look of resentment in her eyes.
"sister--"
He Chen raised his hand to steady her body, lowered his eyes, and suppressed the soreness in his throat, "Let's go."
