Chapter 201 Family members, the patient had a fever again in the evening
201.
Just hung up the phone with Song Mingxi.
Not long after, another call came in.
Mu Jia took out his cell phone and found that the caller ID was Zheng Pingzhou.
Because the fact that the two of them had been on the hot search together was still uncertain, Mu Jia hesitated for two seconds and finally pressed the answer button.
Zheng Pingzhou's voice soon rang in my ears.
His tone was as gentle as ever when he spoke, but there seemed to be something else hidden in his words. He went straight to the point, "Ms. Mu, I'm so sorry. I hope I haven't affected your relationship with Mr. Xie?"
Mu Jia felt very embarrassed when he heard this. He felt that there was something deliberate in his words, and even a hint of gloating.
She managed a few words, and finally gave a dry answer: "It won't delay."
"As long as there's no delay."
Zheng Pingzhou's voice remained low, but inexplicably added a hint of teasing, "Miss Mu and Mr. Xie are a perfect match."
Mu Jia felt more and more that he had ill intentions.
She had hinted in various ways before that he could use some resources to remove the hot search, but he had to make a fuss until now, which made her feel that he was determined to force Xie Siyan out.
Because of this speculation, Mu Jia didn't want to talk more. After a few simple greetings, he ended the call hastily.
Almost at the same time that Mu Jia hung up the phone, a new piece of news quickly became a hot topic.
The official website of China Construction Group actually directly issued an official statement, publicly acknowledging that she was the "girlfriend" of the group's president Xie Siyan, and called on the public not to pay too much attention to private feelings, while emphasizing that "the relationship between the two is stable."
Previously, some of Mu Jia's personal information had been exposed. No one expected that the heroine who had just been rumored to be in a scandal with Zheng Pingzhou would turn around and "officially announce" another man of extraordinary status. The other party's equally prominent background immediately sparked heated discussions on the Internet.
Zheng Pingzhou's text message arrived at the same time, "Congratulations."
Mu Jia browsed the statement and felt a slight shock in his heart.
She always thought that Xie Siyan was unwilling to make the relationship public and just wanted to keep the original contract secret.
Now that it has been announced in such a high-profile manner, it not only means that her every word and action in the future will be scrutinized by the public, but it also seems to have cut off all his escape routes.
She almost couldn't imagine how Cheng Yu would react when he found out about this.
But the more important thing right now is——
Just as she was browsing the hot search terms, Zheng Pingzhou followed up China Construction's statement and issued an official rumor-refuting announcement, saying that the two were "just ordinary friends". In just a few words, he explained that the two went to the hospital together to visit Song Mingxi and the baby, and simply denied all relations. He even hinted at a trick in his words, saying that he had just learned about their boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, otherwise, he would be careful about his words and actions.
Mu Jia, "..."
At this point, Mu Jia was almost certain that Zheng Pingzhou was not as simple as he seemed. She tried hard to recall whether she had ever had any interaction with him, but she had no impression at all.
However, since China Construction has publicly acknowledged the responsibility and Zheng Pingzhou quickly refuted the rumors, the public opinion on the Internet suddenly changed.
At this point, no one doubted her relationship with Zheng Pingzhou. Some even commented jokingly: "Being pursued by two handsome men from top-tier family backgrounds, what kind of blessing is this?"
If we compare them, I'd still choose Xie Siyan? At least he has a clean record.
Why is Zheng Pingzhou no longer innocent? Ask for scientific information.
[Ah, haven't you heard the story of the Zheng family's rise to wealth? ]
Mu Jia didn't deliberately read the heated discussions online. After all, most of the comments focused on praising the two male parties involved.
She is not a public figure, not many people really know her, and discussions about her only stay at the most superficial level of "she is so beautiful."
Mu Jia casually flipped through the post and saw someone commenting, "Rich people are very realistic. To be pursued by two top-tier noble men, this lady must have a very impressive family background. Don't underestimate her."
——
Song Mingxi was naturally the first to see the news of China Construction Group’s statement.
Just as Mu Jia hung up the call with Zheng Pingzhou and turned around to wipe her hair, Song Mingxi's video call popped up impatiently.
Mu Jiagang clicked to answer the call.
"Tsk, Xie Siyan finally acted like a man this time! Just make an official announcement! Tsk tsk, I just saw Chi Wu also released a statement at lightning speed, explaining that he and Xie Siyan were just friends before, and also mentioned that Xie Siyan 'always had someone in his heart' - could he be talking about you?"
Song Mingxi's voice rang in his ears, half sighing and half teasing, making Mu Jia's face slightly hot.
However, she thought this was probably just a public relations rhetoric.
Chi Wu has been in the entertainment industry for a long time, so the team around her is naturally very familiar with this set of public relations rhetoric. After Xie Siyan officially announced that there was someone else, her team naturally followed suit and distanced themselves from the matter, and would not put themselves at the center of public opinion to attract fire.
Before Mu Jia could respond, Song Mingxi on the other end of the phone sighed, "However, you two are announcing this so openly. Are you planning to join forces to fight the whole world? Has Xie Siyan… taken care of the Xie family?"
This statement was not only based on objective considerations, but also mixed with a deep distrust of Xie Siyan. Mu Jia did not tell Song Mingxi about Cheng Yu's meeting with him at first.
But during the two years in Los Angeles, the two of them kept in frequent contact, and during their daily chats, the perceptive Song Mingxi also noticed something was wrong. Based on her understanding of her sister, she knew that she couldn't have left without saying goodbye for no reason.
In addition, Mu Jia himself was not good at hiding things from his friends, and he inadvertently revealed some clues, allowing Song Mingxi to guess roughly.
It was also because of this that Song Mingxi was very dissatisfied with Mu Jia after she returned to China, so much so that he even introduced Zheng Pingzhou to her recently, hoping that Mu Jia would no longer rely on Xie Siyan alone.
Mu Jia shook her head and said softly, "I'm not sure now." She held the phone and whispered to Song Mingxi, "I might have to ask him."
It goes without saying who this "he" refers to.
Song Mingxi suddenly changed his tone and said "Oh?" in a gossipy and exaggerated manner, "You two are together? Then I won't be a spoiler."
Mu Jia quickly stopped her from thinking about it and said directly, "He's in the hospital. I'll be there later."
Mu Jia was no naiveté, and he knew clearly that without Xie Siyan's permission, China Construction would never rashly speak publicly about his private affairs. Therefore, this matter was his decision.
I exchanged a few simple jokes with Song Mingxi.
After hanging up the phone, Mu Jia hurriedly changed his clothes and rushed to the hospital. It was already eight o'clock in the evening.
The ward was very quiet.
The person on the bed had half-closed eyes, as if he had just fallen asleep. Just as she was about to push the door open and walk in, the nurse beside her called out to her:
"Family, the patient had a fever again in the evening. The previous diagnosis was incorrect. He may have also contracted a viral infection. He is quite weak. I hope the family can stay by his bedside and take care of him today. Don't leave again."
Mu Jia was stunned for a moment. He felt a little uncomfortable with the title of "family member".
Is it a viral infection?
She thought silently, feeling guilty for two seconds for having suspected Xie Siyan of feigning illness to torment her.
She walked into the ward and saw that Xie Siyan was asleep, so she didn't disturb him. She just stayed quietly beside him.
After a while, she looked at the calm face with closed eyes on the hospital bed, took out a peace amulet that she had asked for him in the temple from her pocket, gently put it into his clothes pocket, and tied a knot.
