Chapter 58 Hello, Mr. Zhou
Mu Jia came out of Lu Wenxu's office.
After walking along the tree-lined avenue for a while, I saw Xie Siyan's eye-catching car parked at the west gate of the school from a distance.
Two elegantly dressed girls were leaning over and tapping on the car window.
"Handsome, can you give me your contact information?" The leading girl flicked her hair and said with feigned concern, "I think I accidentally scratched your car when I parked it just now."
Xie Siyan slowly lowered the car window, revealing a handsome face with clear outlines.
He glanced at the other person coldly, and said with a thin lip, "This car cost five million. How are you going to compensate?"
"Ah... Don't we have insurance so we can leave?" The girl's expression froze and she stepped back unconsciously.
Xie Siyan tapped his slender fingers on the steering wheel twice, his eyes becoming sharper. "My car has been parked here the whole time. I'm fully responsible for the rear-end collision. Whose insurance do you think should be used?"
"Maybe... maybe I saw it wrong!" The girl hurriedly grabbed her companion's wrist, "I shouldn't have touched it just now..."
Before he could finish his words, the two men had already fled.
They were afraid that if they left a second late, Xie Siyan would get out of the car and blackmail them.
Mu Jia took in the entire scene.
He walked over gracefully, opened the passenger door, and gently placed the gift box on the seat, with a slight smile on his lips, "Thank you, Master, for your great majesty."
"It's just an excuse to chat up."
Xie Siyan made a cold conclusion.
Mu Jia tilted his head to look at him, amusement in his eyes, "Master Xie is so familiar with this routine, it seems that he has been through many battles?"
Xie Siyan's gaze fell gravely on her face, and he suddenly laughed in a deep voice, "Are you jealous?"
Mu Jia turned his face away.
She looked out the car window at the two figures walking away in the distance and said calmly, "I just think she's pretty, like an art school student. She was able to get into Kyoto University and drive during college, so she must come from a good family."
Xie Siyan said "hmm" nonchalantly, started the car, and didn't say anything else.
The car was silent for a moment, with only the low roar of the engine.
It wasn't until we drove onto the overpass that he suddenly spoke: "If I really want to find a female student, there are plenty of them out there. Why should I bother with that?"
Mu Jia snorted lightly, his voice slightly cold, "No need to explain to me. Master Xie is very well-connected, so naturally there are plenty of people flocking to you."
The car soon stopped downstairs of Mu Jia's apartment.
She got out of the car carrying the gift box, and Xie Siyan pushed the door open and followed her.
Mu Jia stopped abruptly in front of the elevator and looked back warily, "Why are you following me?"
Just at this moment, the elevator door opened with a ding.
Xie Siyan squeezed in without saying anything, grabbed her wrist, and said in a low, hoarse voice with a smile, "If you don't follow closely, I'm worried that I won't have a girlfriend tomorrow."
Mu Jia, "..."
Mu Jia let him follow her upstairs, opened the door, and changed into slippers. She ignored him and walked straight inside, preparing to tidy up the kitchen and start cooking.
Xie Siyan came over and hugged her from behind. "I'm so wronged." He shouted, "Wife, I was just sitting in the car with the window open. Someone insisted on coming up to ask for my phone number, and I refused without saying a word. This can't be considered my fault, right?"
Mu Jia knew that his temper came from nowhere.
But seeing him being approached by someone while his car was parked on the side of the road, she felt inexplicably unhappy. She turned around and broke free from his embrace, "I didn't say it was your fault, and besides, I'm not your wife."
Xie Siyan didn't insist anymore, turned around and picked up a grape from the fruit plate on the table.
"I won't go to school next time."
"Be prepared for a rainy day and stay away from such occasions in the future."
——
Xie Siyan really did what he said.
A few days later, Zhou Xu was entrusted by the president of Peking University to invite this outstanding alumnus to attend the centenary celebration of the university and to deliver a speech as a representative.
Unexpectedly, Xie Siyan refused without even raising his eyelids.
"I have something to do that day and can't go. The flower basket will be delivered in advance." He said in a light tone and didn't even bother to make an excuse.
Zhou Xu raised an eyebrow and looked at him, with a half-smile: "Before I came here, I asked your secretary if you were free these few days."
Xie Siyan scoffed, "Do you have to go if you have time?"
"Not really." Zhou Xu took out a cigarette and lit it, then stood beside him, saying something suggestive. "I just feel that, given your relationship with Principal Kong—after all, he has a good relationship with your father—wouldn't it be a bit unkind of you not to go?"
Xie Siyan's expression remained unchanged. An image of someone with a cold face surfaced in his mind. He calmly explained, "There are too many people, especially female students. It's not suitable." After a pause, he added, "If you want to go, you can go by yourself."
Zhou Xu stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly realized what was happening and smiled meaningfully, "Mu Jia won't let me?"
Xie Siyan: “…”
"Tsk, you're being controlled to death."
Xie Siyan actually doesn't mind being controlled, especially by the woman he likes.
It's a mutual agreement. If you want to continue the relationship, you have to obey the other party's requirements.
He didn't want to pursue someone with great effort only to have the relationship ruined by irrelevant people in just two days. It would be a waste of time and effort.
Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, Zhou Xu went to find Liu Heng and asked, "How about you give a speech at Peking University's centennial celebration?"
Liu Heng looked at him deeply.
Just as Zhou Xu was looking puzzled, he suddenly took out a thermometer from the drawer and handed it to him, "Are you dizzy from the fever? Hold it under your armpit and measure it."
Zhou Xu:?
Liu Heng: I am not a graduate of Kyoto University, so why should I give a speech?
Zhou Xu: Damn!
Zhou Xu felt like he'd been so busy lately that he'd lost himself in thought. He returned the thermometer and replaced it with an ear thermometer. He took a few drops and it showed 36.8 degrees.
"No fever."
Spring is already in the air in Beijing in March.
In the evening, Zhou Xu went out to drink with Xie Siyan, and thought to himself, "Now that you have him, bring him out. What's the point of hiding him?"
Xie Siyan put down his phone and asked Mu Jia casually, "Zhou Xu and the others are having a drink, do you want to go?"
Mu Jia looked at him strangely, "What am I going to do?"
"Look at me."
Xie Siyan was serious.
Whenever Zhou Xu's group played, he had to call his two sisters. He not only called them himself, but also called them by his brothers.
Mu Jia looked at his expression, unable to tell whether it was true or false. She thought for a while before slowly saying, "Then I'll think about it."
That night, Xie Siyan arrived late and showed up in the Shengshi box, alone and without any friends.
Zhou Xu opened a bottle of wine and patted him on the shoulder.
"Dude, you're making me doubt whether you've caught her or not."
Xie Siyan slapped his hand away, glanced down at the woman beside him, and said disapprovingly:
"You think she's one of those celebrities you find."
"She has to work tomorrow."
Zhou Xu cried out secretly:
This is protecting your own child.
But he didn't suffer any loss. In the second half, when Liu Heng brought Ji Ruqing in, Zhou Xu retorted, "As if you were the only one who needed to go to work."
Ji Ruqing comes from a family of doctors.
She studied abroad and currently works at the Second Provincial Hospital. She is beautiful and has the temperament of a good wife.
Xie Siyan and Zhou Xu looked at each other, neither giving in.
After a while, he took the lead in looking away and did not look at Ji Ruqing again. He knew the inside story and that this man was not a good person.
Seeing that he was silent, Zhou Xu handed a glass of wine to Liu Heng and greeted him attentively, "Miss Ji, I am sorry for not welcoming you."
Under Liu Heng's tacit approval, Ji Ruqing obediently took the glass of wine and sat beside him, looking at Zhou Xu in the direction of his gaze:
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
