Chapter 181 "Just change it."
Inside the club.
The light reflected by the dim light shone on everyone's faces with different expressions.
It was originally thought that Xie Siyan's mood would improve after Mu Jia returned to China, but the low pressure emanating from him at this moment made everyone present silent.
Xie Siyan sat alone on the leather sofa in the corner, his slender fingers casually shaking the whiskey glass, and the amber liquid made a crisp sound when it collided with the ice ball.
His suit jacket was casually draped to one side, his tie hung loosely around his neck, and he exuded a dangerous laziness.
Everyone looked at each other, and even their breathing became lighter unconsciously.
A few timid ones had already quietly moved towards the door, fearing that they would offend this gentleman. Finally, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Xu, and they desperately winked at him to stop showing off.
Zhou Xu was still immersed in the joy of becoming a father for the first time. Just as he was about to share a few more photos of his baby daughter, he was abruptly interrupted by everyone's gazes.
He put his phone away awkwardly and cautiously asked, "Si Yan, didn't you take...that person away yesterday?" His voice gradually faded, and several possibilities flashed through his mind. He hesitated and asked, "What...happened?"
Hearing this, Xie Siyan suddenly slammed the wine glass in his hand against the marble table with a loud bang. He slowly raised his eyes, and the coldness in his eyes made Zhou Xu unconsciously shrink back.
"Nothing, just a normal plot."
Xie Siyan's lips curled up with a hint of coldness, and his voice was like ice, "I already knew the result, but I still went forward. I didn't understand the meaning of the expression."
The entire box fell into silence in an instant. Even the waiter was keenly aware that something was wrong in the air. The action of serving wine froze in mid-air, but soon returned to normal. After pouring the wine, he tactfully left the box.
Fine beads of sweat broke out on Zhou Xu's forehead, and he was a little overwhelmed by this sudden turn of events.
Xie Siyan had already finished the wine in his glass, his expression regained clarity, and he tapped the table, "The baby is very cute."
Zhou Xu wasn't feeling the same excitement of showing off his success anymore. He wanted to show off in front of his buddies, but he had no intention of hurting Xie Siyan. Besides, everyone knew that Young Master Xie had been in a bad mood for the past two years. He had originally thought that the fact that he had gone to so much trouble to bring someone back from the United States and then took them away from the hospital yesterday was a major breakthrough.
The result was absolutely nothing.
"You guys keep playing, I'll just have some wine."
Xie Siyan casually threw the wine glass on the table, picked up his suit jacket to cover his head and block out the light, as if he was here to rest after his hangover.
Who the hell dares to play around like this?
Zhou Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead and had to act as the vanguard to persuade him, "Is there any misunderstanding between you two? I heard from Song Mingxi that he was in a very bad mood during that time..."
Zhou Xu originally wanted to say, brother, did you really create the pool fog on purpose to cause trouble for others?
But he held back these words. When this little trick worked, he would make a few jokes, but maybe Xie Siyan didn't feel anything. Now he was in such a miserable state. Even if it was a strategy, it proved that the strategy didn't work.
Wouldn't it be annoying for Xie Siyan if I said it out loud?
The two sides were in a stalemate. Late at night, Song Mingxi's phone rang, suddenly breaking the silence in the box.
Zhou Xu gave up trying to persuade Xie Siyan to stay calm and frantically took out his phone. After the call was connected, his face immediately filled with tenderness: "Wife, I'll be right back..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by his wife's scolding on the other end of the phone.
"Do you still remember to come back? You might as well die out there... Mom said you're better off as a father. I just gave birth and my wound is still hurting, and you're out playing..." Three parts complaining, seven parts scolding, but she didn't really mean to resent him. It was obviously just a young couple flirting.
Song Mingxi also knew that Zhou Xu had obviously just had a daughter and was excited to show off, so he didn't urge him to go home quickly. He was just pretending to check on him.
Everyone had a teasing look on their faces, but Zhou Xu wasn't embarrassed at all. He coaxed them softly for a few words and quickly hung up the phone.
Xie Siyan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his slender figure reflected on the glass.
He looked at the brilliant night view outside the window and Zhou Xu walked back. Although Song Mingxi did not directly ask him to do so, Zhou Xu still planned to go back early. He was not like the others present. He had a wife and children and a warm home, so there was no need for him to stay here.
Passing by Xie Siyan, he suddenly turned around and called out to Zhou Xu, who was about to leave: "You say..." His bony fingers tapped the wine glass lightly, "How about I get married?"
"That would be great!"
Zhou Xu blurted out without thinking, "If they could get married first and fall in love later, why bother with the misery of mutual suspicion?" Just as he was thinking, something occurred to him, and then he hesitated, "But...how did you convince Aunt Cheng? Did she agree?"
Mu Jia's family background wasn't great, but she was a top student at Beijing University with a clean record, which wouldn't have caused Cheng Yu to object. However, Xie Siyan was simply too exceptional—a true leader among the children of Beijing's aristocratic families. He had already taken control of the Xie Group at such a young age, a feat even the older generation couldn't help but admire. Cheng Yu naturally treasured her son like a treasure, feeling that no one else was worthy of him.
Cheng Yu naturally felt even more sorry for his son and was reluctant to let him fight alone, so it was understandable that he wanted to choose a suitable partner for him.
Xie Siyan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he slammed the wine glass in his hand on the coffee table: "Why not just change it?"
His tone was light, but Zhou Xu gasped: "Brother Yan, you are not going to..."
Zhou Xu froze. "Change it?" What did he mean? Was it what he thought it meant?
Xie Siyan slowly adjusted his cuffs, a sharp glint in his eyes: "Didn't your cousin just return to China recently? Can you introduce her to me?" He sneered, "Her mother should be very satisfied."
