Jin Yan frowned at the cell phone’s screen. As soon as he spoke, the other party hung up. Did someone make a wrong call? He put down the cell phone and went to the kitchen.
In the office, Qiao Yu gazed at his cell phone with a horribly grim expression on his face. It seemed that she had already come back to S City. Was she with that man as soon as she returned?
At this time, Gao Yang called Qiao Yu again.
Qiao Yu glanced at the number and immediately hung up.
But Gao Yang seemed to be uncompromising, for he called again.
Qiao Yu answered it.
“Brother, have you contacted Xia Ning? Mu Zichen is going crazy, continuously drinking bottles of wine at the risk of losing his life…”
“Then let him go crazy.” Qiao Yu said coldly and hung up directly.
Gao Yang was speechless when he saw the man who was blind-drunk but still asking for more wine in the private room with those empty bottles on the table. What was wrong with everybody today? Hadn’t they been all right just now?
“If you want to leave me, then let’s break up. How can I, Mu Zichen, fail to find another woman?” Mu Zichen took a bottle and drank heavily.
Gao Yang could not bear it anymore. He immediately went to Mu Zichen and took away his bottle.
“Don’t go crazy. Haven’t you said that you walked across ten thousand flowers but never touched a leaf? Look at you now. What are you like?”
“Give me the bottle. I want to drink!” Mu Zichen got up to grab the bottle in Gao Yang’s hand.
Gao Yang pushed him down on the sofa. “Screw your drink. Look at what you are like now. Since you don’t want her to leave you, then go and get her back. Tell me, have you gone to see other girls recently?”
“See what girls? I just fool around as all men do. Can you consider it serious?” Mu Zichen seized the bottle in Gao Yang’s hand, fell down to the sofa, and continued to drink.
Gao Yang looked at Mu Zichen speechlessly. At this moment, he still did not know his fault. He was beyond redemption. And that was the reason why his girlfriend did not like him any longer.
Since he considered himself reasonable, why did he get drunk?
Seeing Mu Zichen getting dead drunk, Gao Yang went to him, took away his bottle, and dragged him out by his shirt. “If you want to drink then go back to your own place. If you drink to death here, it will become others’ responsibility.”
In Gaoshan Villa, after dinner, Xia Ning held a cup of warm water, sat on the sofa, and looked outside.
The snow had stopped. But the sky was hazy.
Jin Yan cleaned the kitchen and came to her. Seeing her in a daze, he could not help but ask, “What’s the matter?”
“I miss my parents a little.” Xia Ning’s eyes grew dim. “Returning to S City always reminds me of things in the past that were vague but familiar.”
On hearing this, Jin Yan comforted her softly, “Your parents will be happy in heaven. So you should be happy, too.”
Xia Ning looked at him and smiled, “To meet you again is already a form of happiness.”
Jin Yan smiled and thought of the call just now. He said directly, “When you were asleep, I answered a call for you. But it should be that someone made a wrong call, for as soon as I spoke, he hung up immediately.”
On hearing this, Xia Ning picked up her cell phone and saw that it was Qiao Yu who made the latest call.
She called back immediately. But Qiao Yu hung up.
During this period of time, it seemed that either she or Qiao Yu did not want to answer.
“It’s nothing. It should be a wrong call.” Xia Ning smiled, unwilling to let Jin Yan have more thoughts.
Jin Yan nodded and gazed at her cell phone for a while.
It could be troublesome to be a famous person, as it did in the case of Xia Ning who was always in the headlines recently. Someone had photographed that she got into another’s car to depart from the airport.
There were a series of photos online. But the photos were all of Xia Ning. People failed to snap a picture of Jin Yan who was inside the car. But they shot the car, a Rolls-Royce.
So the headline next day directly was, “Xia Ning Returned From Filming and a Mysterious Man Driving a Luxury Car Picked Her Up at the Airport.”
