Chapter 42 Someone is being controlled
The day Fang Xin brought Mo Chai to the villa, Xu Shi'an directly lowered the atmosphere in the entire villa to a very low level.
"Now that you have finally made it through, your life will be easier from now on."
Mo Chai was dragging an extra-large suitcase. Since he was also big, the suitcase didn't seem too big. It was not until Fang Xin tried to take it that she realized how big the suitcase was.
"We'll live a good life together in the future." Fang Xin's raised eyes curved down in joy, as if he remembered something, "Wait for me for a while, we'll go together."
Mo Chai nodded, took a look at the huge villa and found that he was a little afraid to sit down, especially since there was someone next to him whom Fang Xin had not introduced.
He pushed the suitcase to the corner and approached Xu Shi'an tremblingly. Xu Shi'an's face did not look good. His eyes seemed to be immersed in ice and snow, and his aura was so depressing that it could crush people to death.
Mo Chai's approach made him even more angry, "Stop."
Mo Chai stopped where he was, and opened his mouth silently as if to say hello before speaking.
"Hello, I am Xiaoxin's junior high school classmate and desk mate. Xiaoxin just..."
"Do you need to be more talkative here?"
The impolite words were directed at Mo Chai. Mo Chai had never suffered such inexplicable anger before, but he thought that he was finally returning to someone else's home, perhaps Fang Xin's friend, and it was very likely that they were unhappy because of his arrival.
Mo Chai, whose words were interrupted, waited in silence in the corner next to the suitcase. When Fang Xin came down, he saw that Mo Chai, who was so big, was not sitting in the corner.
No one knew what Xu Shi'an was thinking. He had nothing in his hands and just stared at one place without saying a word.
Fang Xin was embarrassed by the atmosphere for a moment. He didn't plan to go back with Xu Shi'an. He wanted to go alone with Mo Chai.
After contacting Xiao Huai and asking her to drive over to pick him up personally, he was stopped before he even stepped out of the door.
"Don't leave." He ordered Fang Xin in a harsh tone.
Fang Xin turned around in shock. He knew Xu Shi'an was unreasonable, but he didn't expect him to be so unreasonable.
"What do you have to rely on? I'm leaving now!"
Fang Xin dragged her luggage and walked out. Xu Shi'an walked up to her and took the suitcase from her hand.
Fang Xin staggered a few steps, and Mo Chai helped him up, his eyes full of worry.
Xu Shi'an was about to go out to support his right hand but withdrew it in time. He glanced at Mo Chai with a sidelong glance, and an emotion called anger gradually spread in his eyes.
"I brought you here, so if I don't let you go, you can't leave."
After saying this, Xu Shi'an threw the luggage to the driver and said, "Watch out, if you lose it, you will lose your job too."
He walked away without saying anything, and Fang Xin just stood there in a daze. He came to his senses and looked at Xu Shi'an's ruthless back.
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
Fang Xin pulled his arm out of Mo Chai's hand, strode towards Xu Shi'an and quickly caught up with him.
"Xu Shi'an!" Seeing that he couldn't catch up with him, he just shouted out his full name.
In an instant, the whole villa was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Fang Xin couldn't hold back his anger and was at a loss after shouting. However, for the sake of face, he still tried to be tough, but his words still didn't flow.
"Why are you talking about me..." Fang Xin's momentum gradually fell into disadvantage. He looked at Xu Shi'an's back tremblingly.
Fang Xin cried inwardly for a while after seeing how he treated Xu Shi'an in front of the servant driver. She didn't know if she would be logged off early.
Fang Xin was surprised by the look on Xu Shi'an's face when he turned around. "Let's talk."
Mo Chai stayed downstairs waiting for Fang Xin, and they went to the study.
Fang Xin twisted his hands nervously, and looked up from time to time to see if Xu Shi'an's expression had changed. He was convinced by himself that he should be the one who was angry, so why did he suddenly lose his temper?
When he decided to be tough, the other party did not give him the opportunity.
"It was my fault just now."
"Ah?" Fang Xin's anger, which had just risen, was instantly suppressed by these words. He stared at Xu Shi'an with confused eyes.
Xu Shi'an never gave in and couldn't say the word "sorry". He could only express his apology by saying that he had done something wrong.
Fang Xin blinked in embarrassment. After a long period of silence, he had to speak up to ease the atmosphere.
"I was wrong too." He looked sincere, "Mr. Xu, next time, can you please not be so confrontational?"
This sentence was the only condition that Fang Xin wanted to express during this period of time. Being with Xu Shian was completely different from the way the original owner was with him when she was a child.
It is clear that the Xu Shi'an in my memory is a person who speaks his mind, no matter how weird and cold he becomes. If he is unhappy, he will just say why.
But now Xu Shi'an has become awkward. Fang Xin has no idea what he is thinking. Even the worm in his stomach would have to figure it out, let alone him who is not in the situation.
Xu Shian felt a little relieved after receiving Fang Xin's apology, but when he heard the words "Mr. Xu", his face unconsciously fell again.
Fang Xin thought he would get some resonance, but Xu Shiyan's brows suddenly turned hard, which frightened him so much that he quickly reversed what he had just said.
"Did I say something wrong?" He looked at Xu Shi'an's ever-changing expressions innocently, but also found it amusing. Xu Shi'an looked like he was confused but didn't say anything.
Xu Shi'an's expression really changed, but he didn't say anything unpleasant. "No, I agree."
Seeing this, Fang Xin climbed up the pole and said, "Then I'll go with you. Mo Chai is my friend. I brought him here without your consent."
"I understand if you want to blame me, but he is innocent. Didn't you let him sit just now?"
Xu Shi'an, who was caught by the tail, hummed uncomfortably. Fang Xin was already happy in his heart, but on the surface he looked calm.
"Why are you taking your anger out on others? You almost pulled me to the ground just now."
Fang Xin felt a little aggrieved when he thought of this. He looked at Xu Shi'an with a reproachful look. Xu Shi'an stared at Fang Xin's face in a daze for a while.
Fang Xin pursed her rosy lips, then pursed them because of uneasiness. Xu Shi'an looked up and met his gaze. Fang Xin blinked in confusion, not understanding why he had been looking at her.
"Do I have a blemish on my face?"
Xu Shi'an's eyes finally moved away from his face, but his body leaned forward slightly to show his concern. Fang Xin didn't know what he was doing in his heart, but Xu Shi'an seemed to be submissive today.
Xu Shi'an's expression was obviously not as stiff and frightening as it had been at the beginning, so Fang Xin dared to ask some questions that she usually didn't dare to raise in front of him.
"Brother, please don't get angry for no reason anymore. At least let me know. Otherwise, it will be so tiring to live like this every time."
Fang Xin didn't get a response from Xu Shi'an for a long time, but saw that he looked confused for a moment, and then a smile flashed in his eyes. A low laugh rang out in the study for a moment, and then quickly disappeared.
He put his hand to his lips and nodded in agreement.
Fang Xin really didn't understand. Today, Xu Shi seemed to have taken some psychiatric drugs. He kept jumping between good and bad moods. The visible changes in his expression shocked him.
Mo Chai saw two people coming down and hurried over to greet them, "Xiao Xin, you guys..."
He looked at Xu Shi'an's face and it didn't seem that bad, so he boldly spoke into Fang Xin's ear.
Fang Xin shook her head to indicate that everything was fine, and Mo Chai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the end, the three of them did not get in the car driven by Xu Shi'an, but took Fang Xin's nanny car.
The back seat was wide and large. The moment Mo Chai saw Xu Shi'an sitting in the back seat, he turned a corner and went to the passenger seat. Fang Xin looked at the seats close to his own and Xu Shi'an's, and thinking of Xu Shi'an's performance today, he sat down without any psychological burden.
The journey back to City A was still long for Fang Xin. On the way, except for Xiao Huai who said a few words about work arrangements, the others remained silent.
An Mei prepared a sumptuous dinner for them and kept them at Xu's house and did not let them go back.
Fang Xin was worried about Mo Chai's future, and thought that she would push Mo Chai to Lu Ziyan no matter what these two days.
Mo Chai had no place to stay when he arrived in City A, but An Mei kept asking him and Mo Chai to stay at Xu's house, saying that Fang Xin's place was small and Mo Chai was unfamiliar with the place. If Fang Xin went out for work, Mo Chai would have no one to take care of him.
Thinking about this logic, Fang Xin agreed with An Mei and let Mo Chai stay in Xu's house temporarily.
An Mei glared at her son in frustration, "If you can't even take care of this, what's the point of having you? You still have to rely on me."
Xu Shi'an remained silent after being criticized. He seemed to have acquiesced. However, An Mei had not yet realized that Xu Shi'an was abnormal.
A few days before the Chinese New Year, Lu Ziyan finally had time to meet Fang Xinmo Chai.
Because he does not have the help of an assistant, Lu Ziyan needs to do many things himself. Although there are many people who come for interviews near the end of the year, they are all told that they can only start work after the new year, so Lu Ziyan himself is also very worried.
He walked into the private room in a dusty state, and Fang Xin looked at Lu Ziyan with a smile.
Lu Ziyan's steps paused for a few seconds. He hadn't seen Fang Xin for a long time, and this face always looked new to him. Compared with the last time he saw her, she seemed to look a lot better today.
Those eyes were always looking at people with full of expectation. Lu Ziyan put down his coat and sat down before he saw the man opposite him.
Mo Chai was not ugly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a typical honest man's appearance. He did not look like a native of City A. His awkward look made him look like someone from a small place.
Lu Ziyan exchanged pleasantries with Fang Xin and turned to look at Mo Chai, "Hello, my name is Lu Ziyan."
Mo Chai didn't know if he was too nervous, he stood up and was about to bow, "Hello! My name is Mo Chai! I'm 21 years old!"
The boy's impulsive and straightforward personality amused Lu Ziyan, "Don't be so nervous, I won't eat you."
This was not the first time that Mo Chai had behaved like this. In fact, this had happened to him when he first met An Mei and the others. Fang Xin had stopped him and explained that it was nothing serious, which put Mo Chai at ease.
Fang Xin quickly tried to smooth things over, "Eat first. You must be hungry since you just got here. I ordered your favorite fish."
Lu Ziyan was then attracted by Fang Xin's attention. He liked being with Fang Xin. Even if he didn't say anything, Fang Xin could make him happy, just like he could always remember that he loved eating fish.
After the meal, Lu Ziyan changed his mind. At first he thought Mo Chai was definitely not suitable to be his assistant, but after seeing Mo Chai's every move during the meal, he felt that it was not impossible.
Although Mo Chai said nothing, he would always use the serving chopsticks to silently pick out the bones when Lu Ziyan and Fang Xin were chatting, and then put them on a plate and pass them to Fang Xin.
Before eating, he rinsed the rice bowls with hot water before handing them over. Although Mo Chai was born in a small place, he was polite and considerate.
It was as if he was always paying attention to the movements of the people around him. Lu Ziyan immediately decided to try to hire him. Moreover, in the current situation, without an assistant, he would be really busy all by himself.
After Lu Ziyan mentioned this to Mo Chai, Mo Chai was so excited that he almost jumped up, but he resisted the urge and looked at Fang Xin happily for approval.
Fang Xin nodded happily for him. He knew it was the right thing to do to bring Mo Chai to this meal. Everyone would like Mo Chai's personality. Who wouldn't like a careful big boy?
