Chapter 97 This is his true face
"Just intercept the divorce agreement and you don't have to go through the formalities."
Xie Siyan's cold voice echoed in the car.
A respectful response quickly came from the other end of the phone: "Understood, Mr. Xie."
After hanging up the phone, the car sped through the night toward Xie Ling's dance studio in the city center.
——
This studio is still under renovation.
Xie Ling has been doing the work himself these days, coming here to supervise the work in person, also to avoid being called back to Xie's house.
After packing up, Xie Ling sat on a chair to rest, his forehead protruding.
She never expected that Xie Siyan would come to visit suddenly.
When the familiar tall figure appeared at the door, the interior design drawings in Xie Ling's hand were suddenly clenched. Xie Ling raised his face, but did not react for a moment and continued to sit stiffly.
Her white training clothes were damp with sweat, and her hair was tucked messily behind her head. "...Brother?"
The voice was trembling a little.
Xie Siyan walked closer step by step.
His leather shoes made a dull sound as they stepped on the unfinished wooden floor. He glanced down at his miserable sister and frowned slightly.
"Divorce is no joke."
With a "bang", the design drawing in Xie Ling's hand fell to the ground.
She stood up in a panic and when she wanted to bend down to pick it up, Xie Siyan had already picked up the drawing before her.
"Are you staying here so you don't have to go home?"
Xie Siyan took the blueprint and looked around, acting like an older brother.
Xie Ling hesitated, first shaking his head, then nodding, and finally whispered, "He was the one who... asked for a divorce first."
Xie Siyan hummed softly, his brows and eyes looking a little sharp.
"As a girl from our Xie family, can you just dump her whenever you want?"
After saying that, he said directly, "Marriage involves two families, and divorce also requires the joint discussion of the two families," and then got up and left.
If it were in the past.
Xie Ling would probably be deeply moved by this sentence.
But she's not a complete fool.
She silently watched the car drive away from the dance studio, thinking to herself: Is her brother considering Mu Jia and afraid that they will reconcile, or is he worried that the cooperation project between the Xie and Cheng families will have problems because of the divorce?
…
After Xie Siyan came out of the dance studio, he called the president's office of China Construction. The person who answered the phone was Xie Siyan's former secretary, who said respectfully, "Mr. Xie."
"Take stock of the projects we're working on with the Cheng family, and wrap up any that can be completed as soon as possible."
The secretary was stunned for two seconds.
Xie Siyan made a rare explanation, saying, "The situation may have changed and the cooperation may be terminated."
The other party understood and quickly responded respectfully, "Understood, Mr. Xie."
——
Early morning.
Mu Jia was awakened from his sleep by the glaring car lights.
The sensor lights outside the villa lit up one after another.
The roar of the engine came from far away and finally stopped abruptly in the yard.
Mu Jia opened his eyes drowsily and looked out the window. The headlights of the familiar black sports car were on, illuminating the entire front yard like daylight.
As soon as she stood up, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open from the outside -
Xie Siyan walked in with a chill all over his body.
He pulled her into his arms without saying anything and kissed her. Mu Jia subconsciously struggled twice, but he suddenly let go of her hand and went upstairs.
As if just to confirm whether she was still there.
Soon the sound of water coming from the bathroom upstairs was heard.
When Xie Siyan appeared again, Mu Jia had completely woken up.
She lay quietly in bed, listening to his approaching footsteps.
Drops of water dripped from the ends of his wet hair and touched her shoulders. He smelled fresh after a shower and pulled her over.
The kiss fell at the same time. Mu Jia turned his head and asked, "How long are you going to keep me locked up?"
Xie Siyan's movements froze instantly.
The romantic thoughts that had just arisen in his mind were almost completely extinguished by her questioning.
He turned over and sat up, getting away from her, but his hand was still on that pretty cheek. "Do we have to talk about this now?"
Mu Jia also sat up wrapped in the quilt, keeping a distance from him cautiously.
"yes."
The light from the courtyard leaked in through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the figures of the two people confronting each other.
Xie Siyan glanced at her movements, his eyes suddenly filled with a hint of sarcasm, "If I don't do what you want, will I never touch you again in this life?"
Mu Jia stepped back and covered his shoulders with the quilt.
She actually hasn't explicitly expressed that she's giving up on this relationship, she's just still considering it. A normal person would want to leave if they see their boyfriend going on a blind date with someone else, right?
"do you like me?"
He suddenly asked, his eyes burning as he stared at her closely. "To be honest, I don't feel that you like me. It seems that I have always been a second-best option to you."
Xie Siyan said he was a backup candidate?
She didn't know how to answer this question for a moment.
Don’t you like him? It seems not, but I don’t have that overwhelming feeling that I can’t live without him either.
Mu Jia looked at him and suddenly remembered what Cheng Yu'an had said the day they had a fight. She lost all her strength and looked at him helplessly, "Xie Siyan, was it because of you that I broke up with Cheng Yu'an?"
Before he finished speaking, a strong sense of coldness appeared around Xie Siyan.
Penetrate into the bone marrow.
At this time he did not deny it, "Yes or no, what's the difference?"
Although this speculation was too narcissistic, Mu Jia never thought that she had such a great charm in his eyes that it was worth the effort, but... Mu Jia pursed her lips and said nothing. This inexplicable silence was a silent denial in Xie Siyan's eyes.
She doesn't like him.
And I mind breaking them up myself.
His wrist was suddenly tightened, and Mu Jia was pulled into a cold embrace, skin touching skin. He said coldly, "It's okay." His eyes and eyebrows suddenly showed a bit of roguery, "If you do it more, you will like it."
…
A sleepless night.
The bell rang at 6:30 in the morning, waking Mu Jia up from his sleep on time.
She had barely slept the entire night, and in a daze, she reached for her phone, "Well, I have to go to work."
The waist was pulled back, and a voice sounded beside the ear, "I've asked for leave for you."
"No," Mu Jia struggled.
"You might as well give it a try."
Mu Jia finally sobered up and broke free from his arms. She looked at him coldly with anger on her face, "Do you think I'm a capitalist like you?"
Xie Siyan glanced at her redundantly and said, "Don't worry, I've told your boss that I'll still pay you your salary. I can even double it."
Mu Jia, "..."
Mu Jia suddenly felt that this was his true face.
The person in front of me was the same person who had coldly threatened me when I broke up with Cheng Yuan.
Before, he had been suppressing that energy and coaxing her.
Now that I've been exposed, I'll just stop pretending.
——
Mu Jia's call accidentally reached Song Mingxi.
"Jia Jia, what did you say? Are you stuck somewhere and can't get out?"
In the afternoon, Xie Siyan left.
Mu Jia was sitting alone in the study. When he heard her ask this, his face flushed for a moment, but his voice was numb, "Xie Siyan's villa on Huai'an Road, Shenghai No. 1."
Song Mingxi was silent for a while, then asked quietly, "Did you have a fight?"
"Um."
This is where it gets a bit tricky.
Song Mingxi held up his phone and confirmed again and again, "He won't let you out?"
"Is there any way for me to get out now?"
Song Mingxi really doesn’t have it.
She didn't dare to tell her best friend about Xie Siyan's blind date.
Even if she asked Zhou Xu to go to Xie Siyan's territory to pick up people now, he would not dare to go even if he had a hundred courage.
