Chapter 158 "We've already broken up, why are you meddling so much?"
Cruise center.
A semicircular exhibition stand displays the treasures of tonight's auction -
An 18th-century enamel pocket watch, a Renaissance oil painting, a blue diamond rumored to have once been treasured by a European royal family...
Each one is priceless.
Especially the dazzling blue diamond. Under the light, the gem reflects a deep blue light, as if locking the depth of the entire sea into a small space. It is the target of many guests at the scene tonight.
The waiters moved among the crowd.
The caviar and black truffles on the tray exude a luxurious aroma.
Celebrities gathered in twos and threes, some raised their glasses and smiled, some talked in low voices, and occasionally glanced at the booth with a determined look in their eyes.
The auctioneer stood on the stage, tapping with a gilded hammer. The sound was so clear that it penetrated the entire hall. "Next item, a Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain vase. Starting price—"
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion on the other side of the deck.
She wasn't a celebrity, but rather a charming figure with a charming smile. A rising star, fresh off a hit TV series and a prizewinner, approached, her skirt held high. The lace gown was priceless, and the smile on her face was a vibrant one, as if she had the confidence to make everyone present blush.
Zhou Xu had a bad feeling, "Your current favorite..."
Sometimes, I really can't blame him for being selfish. If Xie Siyan and Mu Jia broke up, and he wanted to have some emotional development with Song Mingxi in the future, it would be difficult for him to deal with Mu Jia, his close friend. In Song Mingxi's eyes, they would only think of each other as collusion...
Zhou Xu hadn't finished speaking.
Xie Siyan put one hand in his trouser pocket, raised his hand nonchalantly, and his slender fingers passed over the crowd casually.
The person where the fingertips landed was not Ye Zhen as everyone thought, but the stranger in pink, who was smiling triumphantly among a crowd of people.
As she spoke, the girl was adjusting the hem of her skirt with her head lowered. The diamond earrings on her earlobes swayed gently with her movements. She had a kind of delicate yet domineering beauty, and a little pride in her successful career.
"You, you, you..." Zhou Xu choked on a mouthful of wine and widened his eyes in shock, "What gene have you awakened now? Why do you love being a celebrity so much?" Song Mingxi wouldn't put all the blame on himself, right?
Damn it.
This time it wasn't him who introduced me.
“…”
Xie Siyan ignored his surprise, took a sip of wine slowly, and asked softly, "No?"
The tone is extremely frivolous.
He glanced coldly at the beauty who was surrounded by everyone, as if he was watching a farce that had nothing to do with him.
Zhou Xu was unsure again, "Are you kidding?" He then, relying on his past experience with celebrity stars, said, "Chi Wu is a popular young actress. Be careful that her fans will tear you apart."
"I'd be scared"
Xie Siyan suddenly laughed.
He reached out and loosened the collar of his shirt, looking down at me with a look of superiority and determination, "Would I be afraid?"
After saying that, he casually placed the wine glass on the waiter's tray.
——
It will take half a month to solve it.
Xie Siyan's pursuit offensive was high-profile and ostentatious, and he also changed the object of his pursuit. The exposure of Xiaohua Chiwu and China Construction made him almost the talk of the entire financial circle.
All kinds of gossip, mixed with fabrications, were exposed.
What about the flowers that are airlifted in every day, the gorgeous Ecuadorian roses that appear on the set of Chi Wu's costume drama; what about the rare antiques that are auctioned at sky-high prices and given to beauties.
Soon, the headlines of the financial and entertainment sections showed the two of them attending an auction side by side.
No official announcement.
Chi Wu's claim was that the two were just friends...
It is obvious that Chi Wu is still unable to let go of his powerful group of otaku fans.
"Wow, Mr. Xie is so romantic!"
In the tea room, the intern was holding a mobile phone, obviously also rushing to the front line of eating melons.
Mu Jia wanted to avoid these discussions, but she was always forced to hear envious sighs in the elevator, conference room, and even in the bathroom. After all, this was the first time that the male protagonist was a senior executive of the company. Who could resist the temptation of gossip?
At the same time, Song Mingxi and Zhou Xu had an argument——
"Zhou Xu, are you blind? Which eye saw that playboy Xie Siyan was deeply in love with Jia Jia? Are you filtering it with eighteen layers of filters?"
Zhou Xu: “…” He is blind.
Until one evening.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Mu Jia was staying in the office to work overtime because he had an important document to report the next day.
Suddenly, there were screams coming from outside the window.
She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and saw hundreds of drones hovering over the China Construction Building, gradually forming a picture of a beauty in costume from the play "Dream in the Garden".
After a while, it formed a rose pattern.
The scale was several times larger than the time when he confessed to her three years ago.
The neon light reflected on Mu Jia's pale face. She pressed her chest unconsciously. For a moment, she couldn't tell who she was confessing to.
…
"Director Mu, are you okay?" The assistant's worried voice came from behind.
Mu Jia then realized that her fingers had dug deep into her palm. She covered her chest, forced a smile, and shook her head, "It's okay."
After he finished speaking, he realized that his voice was already hoarse and no longer sounded like his own. He turned around and told his colleagues, "I'm not feeling well. I'm going home today."
Everyone expressed their understanding.
Mu Jia has been working overtime recently, and if he leaves early one day, no one will say anything.
When he walked out of the building, the drone show was at its climax. Mu Jia walked to the bathroom next to him, wanting to wash his face and wake up before leaving the square.
In front of the gilded mirror in the bathroom on the first floor of Zhongjian.
Mu Jia was pressing his red eye sockets with his wet fingertips.
A tall and slender figure suddenly appeared in the mirror. Xie Siyan had finished his work and came out of the men's restroom.
His suit and tie made his complexion look cold and pale.
Without blinking, he looked at Mu Jia through the mirror. Mu Jia's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but turn his head away. "You do this to everyone you meet, don't you?"
There was a barely perceptible choke in his voice.
Those romantic plots that once made her toss and turn, the romantic scenes pieced together by drones, and the jewelry at the auction, might just be his standardized process of pursuing girls, routine plots. Her plot came much later than Chi Wu's, and he didn't use it until he had slept with her countless times.
Xie Siyan didn't know what he was thinking about. His eyes darkened and after a moment he retorted, "Why, you can't stand it anymore?"
"We've already broken up, why are you meddling so much?"
This sentence was like a slap in the face, making Mu Jia wake up instantly.
She turned and walked out of the restroom. The square outside China Construction was cleared, but a large rose and heart pattern was displayed. Many colleagues passing by after work could see it. Mu Jia stood outside the restroom for a while, and when she was about to leave, she suddenly felt dizzy. The next second, she heard the security guard next to her shout, "Oh no, someone has fainted here."
