Chapter 2: Not Suitable for Your Bland Look
Chapter 2
Three o'clock in the morning.
Xie Siyan is answering the phone.
After doing all the ridiculous things, he returned to his calm and cool appearance.
Mu Jia wrapped herself in the bed sheet and watched him get dressed.
He put on his three-piece suits one by one, even paying attention to the cufflinks.
"There was a little problem with the merger."
When he tied his tie, scratches on his wrists were revealed. They were left by Mu Jia when he pressed her against the French window. "The driver will pick you up at 7:30."
Mu Jia suddenly grabbed the end of his tie and didn't let go. He asked lightly, "Mr. Xie, how can you sleep with your brother's ex-girlfriend so skillfully? Did Wall Street teach you?"
Xie Siyan leaned over and pinched her chin.
In the morning light, his thick eyelashes cast fan-shaped shadows under his eyes, and every word he uttered was like an icicle: "When Miss Mu Jia seduced someone, you couldn't tell it was her first time playing with fire."
As he spoke, his thumb maliciously brushed the kiss mark on her collarbone. "But I suggest you change your partner next time. Not everyone is as... kind as me."
asshole.
The door closed softly.
Mu Jia found a black card on the bedside table, and the password was Cheng Yuan's birthday.
She raised her hand to fold the card in half, but after a moment, as if she thought of something, she carefully put the card away.
Financial news popped up on the phone: Xie Group and Cheng Technology officially launched the acquisition of New Fortune Group.
It started raining outside the window.
Mu Jia remembered Xie Siyan's look at the end——
Like a hunter watching a deer struggling in a trap; also like a dealer looking at a gambler betting all his chips with indifference.
Mu Jia clenched her fingers, she would not let him get his wish.
——
It was already dawn when Xie Siyan came out of the meeting room for the merger and acquisition case.
He loosened his tie, but fatigue still remained in his eyes.
Slender fingers signed the last name on the document, and the tip of the pen drew a sharp arc on the paper, just like him -
Cold, sharp, and intolerant of any transgression.
Zhou Xu followed behind him and suddenly lowered his voice and laughed, "Mr. Xie, I saw you at Floating Gold last night."
Xie Siyan did not respond.
"You and Jiamu..."
Zhou Xu paused meaningfully, "She was completely hanging on you, and you didn't push her away."
To be precise, Jiamu stood on tiptoe and kissed his Adam's apple.
Xie Siyan lowered his eyes to look at her, his fingers clasped behind her waist, and did not refuse. Of course, he did not go any further in public.
Not that beastly.
Xie Siyan finally raised his eyes and explained in a calm tone: "She was drunk, recognized the wrong person, and was making trouble."
"You two left together later. Could it be that nothing happened?" Zhou Xu raised an eyebrow, knowing full well that he wasn't the type to indulge women. Then, a thought occurred to him and he began to laugh to himself. "But maybe I'm mistaken. The Xie and Cheng families are about to marry, and their future is bright. How could a woman possibly make you break your promise..."
Xie Siyan closed the file and said calmly, "That's right. It's just what you think."
Zhou Xu choked suddenly.
It's one thing to guess, but it's another to see him admit it so openly.
"She came up on her own."
Xie Siyan's voice was cold, as if he was discussing an insignificant transaction. "Cheng Yu'an was just playing with her. Everyone in the circle knows this situation. They've broken up, so I don't have to worry about this, right?"
In the eyes of Cheng Yuan and his gang, Jia Mu is just a beautiful toy.
Now that Cheng Yu'an is engaged and has a powerful brother-in-law like Xie Siyan, how could he still be thinking about her?
Neither the situation nor the family allows it.
"You really... bullied me to the core."
Zhou Xu sighed secretly when he thought of the way this guy used all means to force the two of them to break up.
——How could such a good girl be so unlucky to fall into Xie Siyan’s hands?
He sighed for a while, then suddenly thought of something, "...Forget it, things have come to this point, be nice to her, A Yan."
Being able to get some compensation means that her talk with Cheng Yu'an was worthwhile.
——
Backstage at the wedding.
Jia Mu was wearing high heels, her skirt sweeping across the carpet, and there was still a slight soreness at the base of her legs.
She was inexperienced and was drunk last night. When she felt the pain, she only remembered to clutch his shirt. Xie Siyan grabbed her wrist with a cruel and cold movement, as if he was punishing someone.
She was lost in thought when the dressing room door was suddenly pushed open.
Xie Siyan stood at the door, dressed in a suit and tie, his brows and eyes frosty, as if the man who was breathing against her last night was an illusion.
Jiamu's fingertips trembled, and the lipstick drew a bright line on the edge of her lips.
His eyes swept over, lingered on her red knees for a moment, then moved away indifferently.
Zhou Xu followed behind and walked into the door. He noticed a faint strange atmosphere in the air and smiled and joked to ease it:
"Is Jiamu a bridesmaid today?"
——Being a bridesmaid for the ex, it’s amazing that Xie Siyan could come up with such a despicable request.
He was really cruel. He would do anything to protect the marriage between Xie's family and his sister and cut off her thoughts.
Mu Jia wiped the lipstick that overflowed from her lips and glanced at Xie Siyan.
Seeing that he was just standing there coldly without any reaction, he nodded to Zhou Xu:
"Yes. According to Mr. Xie's request."
——This glance has a bit of pitiful meaning.
Zhou Xu felt distressed when he saw this. He turned his head to look at Xie Siyan and saw that he was still unmoved.
The man completely ignored her and made it clear that he was not going to admit what happened last night.
The two returned to being strangers.
Realizing this, Mu Jia lowered her head and grasped the hem of her skirt. When she spoke again, she had already adjusted her mood. "I'm going to change clothes. Mr. Xie and Mr. Zhou, please go ahead."
Zhou Xu went out first.
Xie Siyan followed behind him. Just when he was halfway through taking a step, he suddenly turned around, not knowing what he thought of. He looked at her for a moment and then walked up to her.
Mu Jia looked up.
Their eyes met, and Xie Siyan reached out and brushed his thumb across the corner of her lips, neither too hard nor too soft. "Your lipstick is smudged."
He withdrew his hand, his tone cold, as if nothing had happened just now, "Don't put on so much makeup next time, it doesn't suit your dull appearance."
Mu Jia: “…”
-
——Mu Jia thinks he is not bad looking.
A pure and innocent girl, many people pursued her in school, from high-IQ academic masters to middle-class rich boys from wealthy families... She fell in love with Cheng Yu'an not because of his family background.
They are each other's legitimate first love.
The kind that we talk about seriously.
But who would have thought that after dating for two and a half years, Xie Siyan had been hinting at a breakup with her in various ways, both overt and covert.
She shouldn't have known his friends in the first place.
Who could have imagined that the former Jingda Jiyue Guangfeng, the student union president, a flower of the mountain, who kept others at a distance, would reveal his unscrupulous business character of profit-oriented businessman a few years after graduation...
It's really frustrating!
Mu Jia held her chin and thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out. Did Xie Siyan come to the dressing room just now to make fun of her for not knowing how to put on lipstick, or did he want to say that she looked plain?
She looked down at her fingertips, where the warmth of his fingertips from last night still lingered.
"Mu Jia, it's time to go on stage!" The bridesmaid urged outside the door.
She came back to her senses, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.
——
The wedding will begin soon.
The bride walked slowly into the venue arm in arm with her father. The lights were soft, petals were flying, and the guests were watching with smiles.
This was the first time Mu Jia met Xie's father. He was nearly fifty years old, but judging from his imposing manner and sharp eyes, it was obvious that he had been in a high position for a long time.
Mu Jia stood in the bridesmaid line.
But his eyes involuntarily passed through the crowd and fell on the groom who was waiting to pick up the bride.
Cheng Yu'an came over.
He was wearing a white suit that matched the bride's wedding dress.
Just when Mu Jia felt that she could no longer restrain the tears in her eyes, she moved her gaze to the side and saw Xie Siyan sitting in the front row watching the ceremony, wearing a neatly tailored suit, his slender fingers resting on his knees and an expensive watch on his wrist.
He looked indifferent, as if this wedding had nothing to do with him.
His gaze moved from the bride and groom to her, and after a moment, his eyes narrowed.
Mu Jia felt that the crying feeling that had just come up had stopped.
She looked angrily at the man who was keeping out of the matter in the audience, and a hidden hatred rose in her heart.
Is it the flower of Gaoling?
Mu Jia's greatest hobby in life is to pull down the high-ranking flowers from the altar and watch the superiors bow their heads and the nobles bend their knees.
So, after the wedding banquet, Mu Jia took the initiative to walk towards the Land Rover with Beijing A license plate on the side of the road.
She pretended to fiddle with her pure white tube-top dress, with a face full of lust, and said to him awkwardly for a while:
"It seems difficult to get a taxi here. Mr. Xie, can you give me a ride?"
Hitchhiking on the bride's brother's head.
This excuse is also very poor.
Xie Siyan sat lazily in the driver's seat of the luxury car, looking her up and down through the window.
Like a commodity waiting for a price.
Zhou Xu watched all this from the back row, thinking that this girl was quite brave...
There was silence for a while.
Xie Siyan finally nodded.
He extinguished the cigarette between his fingers and said to her, "Get in the car."
