Chapter 194 When did you leave last night?
Mu Jia originally wanted to refuse, but Song Mingxi immediately mentioned that the baby had been feeling unwell recently and had high jaundice, and the doctor recommended hospitalization for blue light treatment.
On the other end of the phone, Song Mingxi's voice was filled with unconcealable anxiety and heartache.
Hearing this, Mu Jia's heart softened.
As the child's godmother, how could she not go to visit at this time? Even as a best friend, she should be with her, so Mu Jia agreed without hesitation.
The two chatted briefly about the child's condition, and Mu Jia hurriedly hung up the phone and prepared to rush to the hospital.
Xie Siyan's villa is located on Huaian South Road.
Although the environment is elegant and quiet, it is not very convenient to take a taxi. This may be the reason why he rarely comes to stay here, except that he intended to imprison her before.
Mu Jia lowered his head to open the online car-hailing interface on his mobile phone while pushing open the door.
Outside the villa, I unexpectedly saw the familiar car and the driver I had just met last night.
She looked slightly embarrassed.
The other party seemed to have been waiting for a long time. The car window slowly rolled down and the driver smiled and nodded at her, "Ms. Mu, good morning."
As he spoke, he said, "Boss Xie left Jing City early in the morning and rushed back to Nan City. Before he left, he specifically told me to wait for you here and be at your beck and call. Where are you going now?"
Mu Jia didn't know that Xie Siyan had not been in the local area for a while, and was slightly stunned when he heard this.
The driver keenly noticed her expression and naturally took over the conversation, explaining in a calm tone, "Mr. Xie has indeed been out of town for the past two weeks, handling company matters. I heard the project there is very difficult. He's busy day and night, and occasionally he will ask me to go back to the Xie residence to run errands for Mrs. Cheng."
Mu Jia listened quietly, his heart slightly moved.
So, for the past half month, he wasn't with Chi Wu, but was actually busy with work. Then last night...
Before she could speak, the driver had already seen through her thoughts.
"Ms. Mu," the driver sighed softly, his tone tinged with sincerity. "Mr. Xie appears to be enjoying great success on the surface, and everyone envies his status and achievements. But within a large and complex family like the Xie family, relationships are complex, and there are often open and covert struggles... Mr. Xie often feels bad."
He paused, then made a gesture to invite her into the car. As he closed the door, he glanced at her again and spoke in a slower voice, "Miss Mu, if it's convenient...please comfort him."
Mu Jia was slightly startled, nodded, and looked out the window in a daze.
She didn't really understand why the driver suddenly said these words. Was there something wrong with Xie Siyan? Along the way, the scenery flew by. Mu Jia was thinking. Before getting off the car, she paused in front of the driver, "Xie Siyan, he..."
The driver hesitated for a moment, and before leaving, he finally whispered, "Miss Mu... I don't know if you've heard that Mr. Xie actually has another family outside..."
?
The shock this news brought to her was no less than when she suddenly heard that Zhou Xu and Song Mingxi were going to get married.
Even after entering the gate of Zhou's house, Mu Jia's fingertips were still slightly cold, and his mind was in a trance, still unable to extricate himself from the shocking news -
Xie Siyan, isn’t he an only child?
She always thought that because he was the only heir of the Xie family, he did not have to be bound by the family's numerous arrangements like other children of aristocratic families.
Even Zhou Xu was very different from him, so no matter how many scandals he had with celebrities outside, he still chose Song Mingxi, who was of the same social status as him. It was not only out of apology, but also because they were a perfect match and would help him gain a foothold.
She didn't know how many people had secretly envied his perfect life, as if he was born standing on the clouds, he could get whatever he wanted, and the road ahead was smooth. Now he suddenly told her that his father had another family outside.
"Jia Jia, you're here!"
As soon as he entered the door, Song Mingxi saw Mu Jia and immediately came forward with a smile.
Zheng Pingzhou followed closely beside her.
The two had met yesterday and nodded to each other at this time. The atmosphere was slightly restrained.
Song Mingxi quickly got to the point, his tone a little anxious, "I'm going to the hospital to see the baby, Jiajia, can you come with me?"
Mu Jia and Zheng Pingzhou exchanged a few simple pleasantries. Seeing that they were about to leave, Zheng Pingzhou took the initiative to offer, "Let me take you there. It's not easy to get a taxi at this time."
His tone was natural and polite.
Seeing the other party say this, Song Mingxi naturally had no reason to refuse.
Mu Jia was still hiding something from Song Mingxi, and he didn't know how to start. So the three of them walked out together.
——
The flight arrived in Nanshi.
Xie Siyan rushed back to the capital overnight, and hurried back again, with a lingering gloom still between his brows.
Apart from the brief and twisted pleasure of sexual release, he did not feel the slightest bit of relief. Instead, he felt as if he was bound by deeper shackles, his face so gloomy that water could almost be wrung out of it.
All the accompanying personnel held their breath, watching their noses and their hearts, no one dared to offend him at this time, and they all followed him quietly and slowly got off the plane.
When they arrived at the office, someone finally stepped forward and reported in a low voice, "Boss Xie...we've found out that Young Master Xie Xiao might be involved as well. Boss Xie seems to have condoned it."
Xie Siyan's face suddenly turned cold, as if an ice blade had been unsheathed.
The air around them thickened a little.
Everyone even breathed more lightly, fearing that any movement would cause something to explode.
"So what do we do now..." someone asked cautiously.
"Don't worry about him for now." Xie Siyan was silent for two seconds and said with restraint. A hint of gloom appeared in his eyes and his face was worried. For the first time in his life, he showed a bit of fatigue.
Several subordinates exchanged glances with each other.
The project was not going well and he was burdened with various complicated affairs, but the young master rushed back to Beijing in such a hurry. He stayed there for less than two days and turned back without doing anything. It couldn't be that... he just came back to Beijing to spend the weekend, right?
——
Mu Jia followed him into the car.
In the car, Zheng Pingzhou was easygoing and natural, and soon started chatting about some recent news -
Which new restaurant has good food and where a popular concert is about to be held.
He casually asked Mu Jia what his hobbies were.
Mu Jia shook his head slightly, but at the moment he opened his mouth, he answered in a low voice, "Astronomy."
Zheng Pingzhou was slightly surprised and looked at her with a smile: "I really can't tell."
Mu Jia then told him about the message that was pushed to his phone that morning: "Didn't you hear? There was a meteor shower early yesterday morning."
Song Mingxi, who was standing by, heard this and tilted his head to look at her. After a moment's gaze, he said with a hint of teasing, "Were you watching the meteor shower last night? How romantic."
Mu Jia felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at him, and hummed softly.
Song Mingxi slowly lowered his eyes, but his gaze lingered on her face for a moment, as if thinking about something. Suddenly, he asked, "...When did you leave last night?"
