Chapter 64 I Can’t Help
"Liu... Doctor."
Mu Jia's face turned pale and he squeezed out the name with difficulty.
But she hid it well. Only Xie Siyan understood what he was thinking and chuckled barely perceptibly.
The two of them were seated quickly.
Only then did Mu Jia realize that not everyone brought their girlfriends as Zhou Xu had said.
At least, she was the only person of the opposite sex in the box now.
...She might have been deceived by Zhou Xu.
This realization deepened Mu Jia's awkwardness. She lowered her eyes, took a glass of wine from the table, and sipped it with her lips, trying to hide her embarrassment of not being able to fit in. Zhou Xu tilted his head and looked at Liu Heng, "Ji Ruqing didn't come?"
This was the first time Mu Jia heard this name.
Ji Ruqing.
"Her brother is back from Macau," Liu Heng stated without any emotion.
My brother is back.
So we can't meet.
Zhou Xulu understood this logic and exclaimed, "Oh my god, are you two high school students? You're dating without your parents' knowledge!"
"It's over, it's over," Zhou Xu picked up the bottle, poured himself a full glass of white wine, and drank it all in one gulp. "There's already someone here who emphasizes that his girlfriend has a serious job, and now here's someone who's dating without telling his parents. Our circle is finished."
Emphasize that your girlfriend has a serious job.
Is he referring to her?
Mu Jia raised her head slightly, but met Chi Zhao, who had just come in from her and was fiddling with his phone on the sofa on the other side.
He looked at her deeply, looked away expressionlessly, stood up and took his coat.
"A Zhao, you want to leave?"
Zhou Xu's gaze also followed his movements and shifted his attention.
His eyes fell on Chi Zhao.
Chi Zhao walked steadily, without stopping, and said, "It's done. The old man asked me to go home now to discuss the cancellation of the engagement."
The word "cancel the engagement" instantly attracted Mu Jia's attention.
It seems that Song Mingxi has already mentioned it to his family and has alarmed the Chi family.
This is something we need to discuss at home.
Mu Jia felt sorry for not being able to be with Song Mingxi during such a big event. At the same time, she was a little surprised by Yu Chizhao's choice of words:
It's done.
Has he been hoping that Song Mingxi would take the initiative to cancel the engagement?
Chi Zhao had already walked out. Xie Siyan moved the wine glass away from her hand. When their eyes met, he lowered his voice:
"Do you like staring at other men?"
Mu Jia instantly withdrew his gaze from the box door.
She was really just lost in thought!
"Is he going back to discuss breaking off the engagement with Song Mingxi?" Mu Jia looked up and asked him. Xie Siyan took the wine that had been moved away from her hand and took a sip from the same spot she had just drunk from.
"yes."
He answered with certainty.
"Will the parents of the Song and Chi families... agree?" Mu Jia asked again, and it was obvious that he cared about his friend very much.
Xie Siyan held her close to him, thought for a moment, and then replied vaguely, "It depends on her attitude."
she?
Or is it him?
Mu Jia couldn't figure out who this 'ta' referred to, and she didn't dwell on it. She took out her cell phone and sent a WeChat message to Song Mingxi.
Have you told your family?
Song Mingxi was probably busy and did not reply immediately.
During this time, Zhou Xu was mysterious. He walked to Xie Siyan's side, took out his cell phone and showed it to him, "What do you think is the best way to deal with this matter?"
Xie Siyan glanced at the screen with a cold expression, "Ignore him."
——
When Mu Jia left Shengshi, it started to drizzle.
Xie Siyan wrapped her in his windbreaker and carefully carried her to the back seat of the Land Rover. While they were toasting in the club, the butler drove the car over and parked it in the square outside.
Zhou Xu will drive back tonight in the white car he came in.
Zhou Xu walked over and waved at him, then leaned closer and asked, "Are you asleep?"
Mu Jia's eyes were closed, his eyelashes trembling slightly, he leaned back in the back seat, sleeping uneasily, as if he was dreaming.
Xie Siyan blocked his view with his body, and then walked side by side to the driver's seat in front.
"You protect it so closely!" Zhou Xu gritted his teeth.
No one noticed that not far away in the square, there was a figure watching all this from afar.
"What a bitch."
He stared until the Land Rover slowly drove out of the square, then turned and walked away.
——
In late spring, raindrops slant down and hit the glass curtain wall of the office building.
A message came in on Mu Jia's phone.
From the account she forgot to block.
[Senior Mu Jia, my uncle and aunt sent me something. It looks quite expensive to me. It's downstairs from your company now.]
From Linno.
Lin Nuo stood at the door of the coffee shop downstairs of Mu Jia Company.
She was not holding an umbrella, there was a dark water mark on her shoulder, and she was holding a gift box in her hand.
About fifteen minutes passed.
Mu Jia slowly walked out of the revolving door of the commercial building, holding a transparent long-handled umbrella, and walked to the door of the coffee shop.
"I thought you wouldn't come." Lin Nuo pushed open the glass door and walked out.
Mu Jia inserted the dripping umbrella into the umbrella stand.
Lin Nuo handed her a gift bag. Mu Jia looked down and saw two boxes of tea and ham inside, which were specialties from her hometown.
There is even a pair of smart watches of a certain brand.
There was a sticky note on it, which turned out to be something Lu Wenxu brought to them after returning from his business trip, saying that it was for her and Lin Nuo to use together.
Mu Jia didn't expect Chen Lifang to send something to Lin Nuo, nor did he expect Lu Wenxu to give this to Lin Nuo.
She collected the things and said, "Thank you for your help."
"No trouble."
Lin Nuo replied politely.
After saying that, just as Mu Jia was about to turn around, she suddenly called her, "Senior Mu Jia."
Mu Jia turned around.
Lin Nuo stood at the door of the cafe, half of his shoulder under the eaves, and raindrops soaked his coat.
"Are the conditions Mr. Zhou promised at the time still in place?"
Mu Jia was a little shocked for a moment.
Lin Nuo continued, "I'm currently in Professor Lu's lab. Judging from their behavior, you probably haven't told your family about our breakup yet."
He paused, looking into her eyes. "If you tell me that in the future, I might not be able to continue my doctoral studies. I don't think I've done anything particularly wrong to you, so I won't ruin my future, will I?"
Mu Jia was standing at the door of the coffee shop, holding a gift box bag. People were coming and going, and people were looking over here from time to time.
Mu Jia was speechless for a moment when asked by Lin Nuo.
Have you ever asked yourself if you feel particularly sorry for her?
Isn't cheating considered sorry?
but……
Mu Jia shook his head and said, "I can't help you."
Lin Nuo called her, "Senior Mu Jia."
Mu Jia stopped and didn't look back, "I'm not very familiar with Zhou Xu." She had never asked him for help with her work, so why would she ask him for Lin Nuo.
"What about Xie Siyan?"
Mu Jia did not respond to this question.
Lin Nuo wanted to continue chatting, but Mu Jia had already picked up an umbrella and hurried into the rain.
Customers in business attire would occasionally walk into the coffee shop through the glass door, order two cups of coffee, and then go to the waiting area on the side.
Lin Nuo glanced at Mu Jia's back, and after a while, he turned and left.
