"..." Ji Zhixia was stunned after being rejected for the first time in that kind of situation: "Brother Zeyu..."
"Since you don't want to watch the movie, I'll take you home first."
"I……"
Before Ji Zhixia could speak, Mu Zeyu left first, leaving Ji Zhixia standing there alone.
…………
Downstairs, Shen Mufeng and Ji Zhinan walked out of the hotel.
This is a high-end hotel; the people who come here to eat are all wealthy and own luxury cars, so there are very few taxis here.
Ji Zhinan looked down at his phone and hailed a taxi.
"Beep beep beep—"
She heard a horn honking nearby, looked up, and saw a car parked in front of her.
The passenger window rolled down, and Shen Mufeng, who was sitting in the driver's seat, leaned over and said, "Zhi Nan, let me take you home."
"No need," Ji Zhinan refused quickly.
Having long been accustomed to Ji Zhinan's indifference, Shen Mufeng wasn't angry when rejected, but instead patiently tried to persuade him.
"There are no taxis passing by here. If you don't want me to take you home, I can take you to a place where you can hail a taxi."
Ji Zhinan remained expressionless: "Mr. Shen should go home earlier, it's so late."
She knew Shen Mufeng's feelings for her, but she had no feelings for him at all. If she got into his car now, it would be like giving him hope, and in the end, Shen Mufeng would be the one who got hurt.
Since it's impossible to give him an answer, then we must reject all ambiguity.
Ji Zhinan wasn't pretending, acting, or being pretentious; he was doing it for Shen Mufeng's sake.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Zhinan's taxi arrived. She nodded to Shen Mufeng, got in the car, and left the hotel.
Seeing that Ji Zhinan wouldn't budge despite his persuasive tactics, Shen Mufeng sighed helplessly.
It seems that it takes some effort to win a smile from a beauty.
…………
After taking Ji Zhixia home, Mu Zeyu also went home.
Upon arriving home, he found his mother, Wu Yan'e, in the living room.
"Mom." Mu Zeyu walked over and asked, "Why are you alone in the living room?"
Wu Yan'e looked at her son and sighed, "The company hasn't been doing well lately, and your sister offended someone outside, even losing the two new plots of land your father acquired. Your father's been stressed lately, and he's still in a meeting at the company now. I'm worried..."
Mu Zeyu knew about this too. He looked up at the upstairs and asked, "How is Minmin?"
"What else could happen? They made a scene for another day before finally calming down."
Wu Yan'e really had no way to deal with this daughter.
Mu Minmin was immediately confined to her home by Mu Daxiang and left to reflect on her actions; she hasn't gone to school for the past few days.
The Mu family has encountered so many problems one after another. Their planned IPO has been delayed, and the two plots of land they just acquired have been given away to others.
Wu Yan'e looked at her son: "Zeyu, you have to keep a close eye on Xiaxia. You can't let anything else happen, understand?"
If he had heard this before, Mu Zeyu would have definitely agreed, but now, he was getting impatient.
"Mom, your son isn't poor or ugly, so why does he have to be tied down to Ji Zhixia? Is the Ji family really that good?"
"Besides, the Ji family doesn't only have Ji Zhixia as a daughter, there's also Ji Zhinan. At worst, I'll dump Ji Zhixia and be with Ji Zhinan!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Yan'e suddenly stood up from the sofa, "You child, what nonsense are you talking about!"
She stared at Mu Zeyu and said seriously, "Son, you must remember this clearly: your wife can only be Ji Zhixia. You must never let that vixen Ji Zhinan bewitch you!"
After saying that, she muttered, "I think it's because our family hasn't married Ji Zhixia yet that your dad's company and Minmin got into trouble..."
