Chapter 113 We Have Broken Up
Mu Jia clenched the corner of her clothes and confessed to him softly.
"I worry every day whether your parents will come to my house, write me a check, and ask me to leave you, just like in the TV shows..."
As she spoke, she raised her eyes and looked him in the eye.
There was a moment of vacant eyes. "After all, we are together because of your coercion and inducement. Your parents can do the same..."
"I use threats and inducements?"
Xie Siyan's eyes darkened and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.
He suddenly took a step forward and grabbed her wrist.
He forced her to look directly at him, "Who was it that first time in the bar that was dangling in front of me, and who took the initiative to get into my arms?"
Mu Jia's breathing hitched.
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
She subconsciously wanted to step back, but the wall behind her blocked her way.
He could only defend himself with a hoarse voice, "I was just traumatized by a broken heart that time, and I wasn't sober at all..."
"so."
Xie Siyan released her wrist, a terrifying dark tide surging in his eyes, "You mean, the beginning of our relationship is also related to Cheng Yu'an, right?"
…
The air froze briefly.
Mu Jia bit his lower lip hard, realizing that he might have said something wrong.
She looked at Xie Siyan's increasingly gloomy face, and her fingertips unconsciously pinched into her palm, "I didn't mean that..."
She hastily looked away, her voice softening a bit, "It's related to him...you said so."
As he said this, he began to move towards the room, with a hint of escape in his eyes.
"Xie Siyan, my stomachache hasn't healed yet. I need to go back and rest..."
Xie Siyan stood there without moving, his thin lips tightly pressed into a straight line.
He was originally a high-class beauty.
She has been reserved, aloof and cold since her student days, yet she has no shortage of suitors who are of similar family background and are knowledgeable and interesting.
He didn't let her leave like before.
Lowering his stance to fight again at this moment is already an unprecedented concession, approaching the bottom line.
"what ever."
Xie Siyan stared at her for a while, then suddenly calmed down, his eyes turning completely cold. He turned his head and said coldly before leaving.
"You don't really think that I must have you, do you?"
——
The air pressure in the box was so low that it was suffocating.
Zhou Xu subconsciously glanced at the person next to him, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
He secretly speculated, could it be that Song Mingxi had done something behind his back again? Had Xie Siyan caught her?
Regarding the matter of Mu Jia, he did not discuss it with Song Mingxi.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to.
In fact, they are a newlywed couple and are so unfamiliar with each other that they are not even as familiar as ordinary friends.
Zhou Xu had been living in the guest room on the second floor for only two months after getting married.
Song Mingxi has the master bedroom on the first floor to himself.
Apart from occasionally meeting in a restaurant and exchanging polite nods, the two of them had almost no interaction.
Last Wednesday, he saw with his own eyes Guan Yingxin's cousin blocking Song Mingxi at the garage door.
He was right behind them at the time. After thinking for a while, he calmly chose to take a detour, leaving them enough space to "reminisce".
That's it...
He wanted to ask Song Mingxi if he had hidden Mu Jia, but he didn't know how to start.
"what happens?"
Liu Heng noticed the awkward atmosphere and took the initiative to push a glass of whiskey in front of Xie Siyan. The ice cubes collided with the inner wall of the glass, making a crisp sound.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, dusk is falling.
The lights of the entire city gradually lit up, but in Xie Siyan's eyes, there was a thick, indissoluble black fog.
Xie Siyan grabbed the wine glass and drank it all.
The alcohol burned my throat, but it couldn't quench the restlessness in my heart.
Just then, the phone screen lit up.
The caller ID flickered. He glanced at the name and picked up the phone. "Mr. Xie," a male voice rang out from the phone. "Ms. Xie and Mr. Cheng's divorce procedures have been completed."
The person on the other end of the phone reported respectfully, while the person on the other end listened casually.
Xie Siyan stared at the remaining ice in the cup and suddenly felt that he no longer needed to support these people who he had spent a lot of money to support over the years.
He pulled at the collar of his shirt and spoke in a bad tone.
"When the divorce certificate comes out, you notify the parties involved." The wine glass was thrown on the table, and the voice was cold. "Notify me, do you mean I should go and get the certificate for them?"
“…”
The person on the other end of the phone paused.
I was caught off guard by this sudden challenge.
Sometimes the boss is really hard to please. The man picked up a tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead. After a long while, he spoke.
"Okay...Okay, Mr. Xie." His voice was dry, but he had to serve carefully. "Then I'll tell Miss Xie right away?..."
There was a long silence in the receiver.
The next second, before the man could say anything to make amends, he realized that the call had been hung up.
The crystal glass was suddenly kicked to the ground, but fortunately the box was covered with carpet and it did not break.
Zhou Xu watched the whole process and dared not even breathe. He huddled in a corner, breathing very lightly, trying his best to reduce his presence.
Liu Heng nudged him with his elbow, motioning him to move to the side.
He sat beside Xie Siyan and asked him in a low voice, "Do you want to cancel the engagement party?"
There are less than two or three days left until the original date.
Xie Siyan sat motionless in the main seat.
After a while, his slender fingers suddenly grasped the newly opened bottle of whiskey.
The amber wine swirled in the crystal glass, and he tilted his head back to drink it all in one gulp. His Adam's apple rolled, revealing his sharp jawline.
“Why cancel it?”
His eyes were cold.
His expression was gloomy, and he had an unusually cold air. The ceiling light in the box cast shadows of varying shades on his well-defined face. His thick eyelashes cast a dense, dark mass on his lower eyelids. His whole body was filled with the pressure of keeping strangers away, and a strong sense of distance. "I'm getting engaged normally, who am I bothering?"
Liu Heng wisely shut up.
Zhou Xu exchanged glances with him and spoke
"Si Yan, now's not the time to be angry." As the one with the most experience in relationships among the three of them, he bravely shouldered this responsibility and pointed out to him as a senior, "If you really get engaged to Shen Xingchu, you and Mu Jia...will most likely fail."
He also noticed it during this period.
In the past, he might have thought that Mu Jia might have endured it for the sake of fame and fortune.
After all, the two of them had very different family backgrounds. If Mu Jia followed Xie Siyan, there would only be advantages and no disadvantages. She was not in a rush to get married, so she could take the long view...
Now, he retracts this one-sided view.
The other party is now playing missing. If Xie Siyan gets engaged, the two of them will probably never be able to go back.
"You want yellow?"
Xie Siyan's eyes were stern. He glanced at Zhou Xu very slowly, as if in slow motion. His voice was shrouded in chill, "We've broken up."
