Chapter 21
At the reception, Xia Xizhi held a wine glass in his hand and talked with others with a smile on his face.Looking at those men's lewd eyes, Xia Xizhi hated it, but she couldn't say it openly.She hated such hypocrisy, but she had to blend into it.
After drinking a glass of wine, Xia Xizhi's cheeks flushed, and she said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, can we negotiate a deal? I am very sincere."
Looking at her slightly drunken appearance, Mr. Chen said with a smile: "Of course, I like Miss Xia's boldness very much. Tomorrow morning, I will ask the secretary to send the contract to your Xia family. Miss Xia, cheers for our cooperation."
With crooked eyebrows, Xia Xizhi smiled sweetly: "Of course, thank you Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen trusts our company so much, we will not let Mr. Chen down in the future."
Holding her hand, Mr. Chen stroked it gently, with a different color in his eyes, and said meaningfully: "I don't trust the Xia family, I trust Miss Xia."
Smiling, he wanted to withdraw his hand, but saw that he was very strong.Seeing this, Xia Xizhi picked up the wine glass, said with a charming smile, "Then I would like to thank Mr. Chen for his kindness, and I respect you for this glass." After saying this, Xia Xizhi raised her head and drank it down in one gulp.
"Miss Xia, since we had such a pleasant conversation, why don't we continue our conversation in another place?" Mr. Chen asked with a wicked smile.
Knowing his plan, Xia Xizhi said in embarrassment: "I'm afraid it's not good. If someone sees it and says something in front of your wife, I'm afraid..."
"Who dares to talk nonsense." Mr. Chen said quickly.
Suddenly, Xia Xizhi looked not far away, and asked in surprise: "Hey, isn't that Mrs. Wang? I remember Mrs. Wang said that she and your wife are very close on weekdays..." While talking, Xia Xizhi looked at Mr. Chen was holding her hand.
Before the words fell, Mr. Chen immediately let go of his hand like an electric shock, and said embarrassingly: "Yes, women nowadays like to gossip. Next time I treat Ms. Xia to dinner, do you want to show me your face?"
Nodding politely, Xia Xizhi smiled and said, "Of course, that's my honor."
After finally negotiating the business, Xia Xizhi found an excuse, left the reception venue, and went to the bathroom.Take out the anti-alcohol medicine that has been prepared, and drink it with mineral water.Frequently going in and out of drinking bureaus, Xia Xizhi knew that if he wanted to discuss business, he had to drink.But getting drunk can easily cause trouble, she has always been cautious.
Walking out of the bathroom, two figures walked past.The two of them turned around and went up to the second floor.Xia Xizhi looked at the figure suspiciously, with doubts in his eyes: "Who is the person next to Mr. Qi? Could it be his rumored friend? Why do I seem to have seen him somewhere?"
Narrowing her eyes, Xia Xizhi was thoughtful.Thinking of the investigation of Mr. Qi, Xia Xizhi frowned slightly.After trying many times, she was still unable to find out anything related to Mr. Qi.
Looking away, Xia Xizhi shook her head.Since it can't be investigated, let nature take its course.
Driving home, Xia Xizhi walked slowly towards the apartment with her bag in hand.The thin high-heeled shoes made a rattling sound, Xia Xizhi rubbed her temples, and walked forward with some headaches.
Walking to the gate of the apartment, Xia Xizhi was just about to go up the stairs when his wrist was suddenly grabbed.Xia Xizhi panicked, and just when she was about to hit her with her bag, she saw the man hugging her from behind.Accompanied by the strong smell of alcohol, a familiar voice came: "Xia Xizhi."
The pupils opened, and Xia Xizhi's heartstrings tightened.His body was stiff, his eyes were staring straight ahead: "Mo Fan?"
Hearing her address, the man behind him hugged her even harder.His chin rested on her neck, and his strength seemed to feel her presence.
The smell of alcohol swept over, Xia Xizhi said in a low voice: "Have you been drinking?"
Hearing her words, Wu Mofan's body stiffened instantly.Turning her body suddenly, her eyes fixed on the woman in front of her.At this moment, he didn't deliberately pretend to be indifferent, but there were hot emotions in his eyes, and the hatred that couldn't be ignored: "Tell me, why did you treat me like that at the beginning? You have already agreed to my marriage proposal, why did you leave me!"
If it wasn't for the strength of alcohol, he might not have the courage to come to her again, let alone say those words.For more than a year, he has been suppressing his feelings for her.Every time we meet, I just keep reminding myself: I hate her.
Seeing his expression, Xia Xizhi bit her lips lightly.Don't look away, and pretend to be indifferent: "It's been so long, why are you still talking about it?"
Holding her shoulders with both hands, Wu Mofan's eyes burst out with pain and resentment: "Our love for several years, you just abandon it if you say it? In your eyes, what am I, Wu Mofan!"
Seeing himself reflected in his eyes, Xia Xizhi clenched her fists tightly and said coldly, "You're drunk."
Hehe laughed out loud, Wu Mofan laughed at himself: "Drunk? Haha... I have never been drunk, I have always been sober. For more than a year, I have been sober watching my wound fester and see it bleeding. Xia Xizhi, do you know how much I hate you? I wish you could disappear from my world forever!"
Wu Mofan was in pain. He knew that he should let go of the woman he had loved for many years, but he still couldn't do it.Once he loved her with his life, but she severely trampled on their relationship.
"Since you chose Xia Xueqi, love her well." Xia Xizhi spoke slowly, enduring the pain in her heart.
Feeling her indifference, Wu Mofan grabbed her wrist angrily: "You are so ruthless!"
Looking into his eyes, Xia Xizhi reminded: "You are already engaged, so you won't be entangled with your ex anymore, okay?"
He squeezed his bone hard, as if trying to crush it.Seeing her lips turning white, Wu Mofan unconsciously let go of her hand.Staggering back a few steps, Wu Mofan laughed bitterly: "Xia Xizhi, I must have done a lot of sins in my previous life to let me meet you in this life."
With a sore nose, Xia Xizhi quickly raised her head, controlling the tears that were about to fall.With a hard heart, Xia Xizhi said decisively: "You go. Now I am still the daughter-in-law of the Ji family, and I don't want to be said to be entangled with my brother-in-law."
The heart seemed to be hurt by ten thousand points in an instant, Wu Mofan pointed at her, and said through gritted teeth: "You are cruel!" After leaving this sentence, Wu Mofan turned around and walked forward staggeringly.
From the corner of the eye, he kept watching his figure leave until he couldn't see it. Xia Xizhi's legs gave way and he fell to the ground.Wu Mofan's eyes full of pain appeared in front of his eyes, and Xia Xizhi wept silently.
It turned out that he still loved her.
Unfortunately, he and Xia Xueqi are already engaged.She has principles and will not destroy other people's marriages, so she is destined to be impossible to return to the past.Now that you know it's impossible, you might as well give up.
