After the breakup, Mr. Shang thought that the father was more valuable than the son.

It was already midnight when I woke up again, the ward was quiet, and Su Mei was asleep on the small bed beside her.

Song Xi'er carefully touched her phone and opened it. There were only messages from her on the chat interface, and Shang Ji had not replied to her yet.

The light from the mobile phone screen turned Song Xier's face pale, which was a bit scary in the darkness.

She just looked at it without making any move for a long time.

Song Xi'er was discharged from the hospital the next day. When she returned to the business, she didn't see anyone from Shang Ji. Shang Zhenglin said she was on a business trip to City A.

During this period, she made several calls to Shang Ji, but only one was answered.

But the person who answered the phone was not Shang Ji, but Zhuang Lin.

Shang Ji is on a business trip, why is Zhuang Lin here?

In the past few days, the news of the marriage between the two merchant houses was kept secret. The media reported it extensively, and the engagement date was also confirmed. It would be at the beginning of next month. Song Xier could know it without paying attention.

Although Shang Ji said personally that he did not want to get married, but...

but……

Song Xier didn't dare to think about it any more.

She believed Shang Ji. Since he said he didn't want to get married, he would definitely not marry Zhuang Lin.

Now these are just temporary measures. She believes that Shang Ji will definitely find a way to solve it, and she has to give him time.

Even though she was thinking this way, Song Xier couldn't concentrate when she was reviewing, and her efficiency was very low.

It happened that a senior girl called her and invited her to go to City C to watch an architecture lecture.

"I heard that many architectural masters have been invited, and Professor Hong will also go." Senior sister Yu Meng said: "Aren't you going to take the postgraduate entrance examination of Professor Hong? Maybe you can get familiar with him in advance."

Song Xier was very moved, and Shang Ji happened to be away, so she thought about it and agreed.

It's not far from Jiangcheng, more than an hour's drive, and Yu Meng drives by himself.

The lecture was tomorrow. Song Xier told Su Mei and went there with Yu Meng that afternoon.

City C.

It was exactly five o'clock when we arrived at the hotel we had booked. They shared a room. Yu Meng was in a hurry to go to the bathroom. After Song Xier completed the check-in procedures, they waited on the sofa in the lobby to go upstairs together.

She just called Shang Ji again, but still no one answered.

Are you that busy?

Song Xier held her cell phone and lowered her head to send a message to Shang Ji.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came to my ears.

Song Xier paused for a moment and then looked up, only to see a group of people walking towards the hotel door. At the front were a man and a woman, standing very close to each other and talking about something.

Shang Ji?

Song Xier suddenly stood up and wanted to see clearly, but the other party had already gone out and got in the car.

"Xi'er." Yu Meng came back from the bathroom: "Let's put our luggage quickly and go to eat. I'm going to starve to death."

Song Xi'er was called back and Yu Meng looked at her: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Song Xi'er shook her head, maybe she saw it wrong.

Uncle Shang said that Shang Ji was on a business trip in City A.

"Let's go eat hot pot." Yu Meng said as she took Song Xi'er to the elevator: "After eating, you can experience the nightlife of City C. I heard it's very exciting. I've wanted to come and see it for a long time."

Song Xi'er was not interested, but she had come since Meng said that she must go with him.

at the same time.

inside the car.

After Shang Ji got in the car, he leaned back and closed his eyes. Zhuang Lin sat aside and glanced at her from time to time, her heart and eyes full of love almost overflowing.

Suddenly there was a vibration. Zhuang Lin immediately looked at it and saw it was Shang Ji's cell phone, calling Song Xi'er.

Zhuang Lin frowned, carefully took the phone over and hung up to delete it.

After deleting it and seeing the message from Song Xier again, Zhuang Lin's eyes flashed coldly.

Suddenly a hand reached over and took away the phone.

Zhuang Lin was startled, raised her head and met Shang Ji's indifferent eyes.

"It's...a message sent to you by sister Xi'er. I'm afraid it will disturb you."

Zhuang Lin felt very guilty, fearing that Shang Ji would be angry, but the latter just said "hmm" and said nothing more.

At eight o'clock in the evening, look at the bar.

As soon as Song Xier and Yu Meng came in, their eardrums were buzzing due to the deafening DJ sound.

Yu Meng: "We are so lucky, there is a band performing here today."

It looked like it must be a pretty popular band, because there were so many people at the venue that there was almost no room to stand.

Yu Meng took Song Xi'er and finally found a place to sit down in the corner of the bar, then asked the bartender to order two signature drinks.

"The bars in City C are different from those in Jiangcheng. There are so many handsome guys." Yu Meng almost drooled at the sight.

Song Xier found it funny: "Senior sister, isn't your boyfriend jealous of you doing this?"

"We've broken up. I'm single now." Yu Meng winked at Song Xi'er and said, "Maybe we can get divorced tonight."

The bartender pushed the mixed wine over and Song Xier took a sip. It tasted quite good.

There were a bunch of young men and women sitting in a booth not far away. One of them, a man with red hair, had his eyes on Song Xier as soon as she came in.

As he watched, he took out his cell phone, took a photo of Song Xier, and then sent it to a group.

Yu Meng was very excited. In the middle of drinking, she was invited to the dance floor by a good-looking man.

Song Xier sat alone at the bar. After finishing one glass of wine, she ordered another.

Shang Ji often went on business trips in the past, even going abroad for a month. During this period, Song Xier only sent him messages occasionally, and would not call him for fear of disturbing his work.

But for some reason this time, Song Xier was always distracted, especially when she thought of the phone call Zhuang Lin answered, she couldn't control her uneasiness.

When there was no reply, she continued to send;

When she didn't answer the phone, she continued to call.

Song Xi'er knew that she would be annoyed by this, but she couldn't control it.

After a while, Song Xier finished three glasses, and the bartender reminded her: "This wine has a lot of stamina, so drink less."

"Thank you." Song Xier's drinking capacity was okay and she didn't feel much at the moment.

I originally wanted to have another drink, but suddenly someone sat next to me.

Song Xi'er didn't pay attention at first, until the other party called her: "Song Xi'er?"

Song Xi'er turned her head and her pupils shrank suddenly when she saw the other person's face.

A bright smile appeared on Xiao Jie's face, and he raised his hand to wave to Song Xi'er: "Old classmate, long time no see."

Song Xier's fingers holding the rim of the cup were so tight that her joints turned white.

But even so, the expression on her face did not change at all: "I'm sorry, you recognized the wrong person."

"Admit your mistake?" Xiao Jie glanced up and down Song Xi'er's body: "It is indeed a female transformation. Our Xi'er is getting more and more beautiful."

As he spoke, he suddenly took out his mobile phone and took a quick photo of Song Xier's face.

Because of the dim environment of the bar, the camera automatically turned on the flash, making Song Xier's already pale face almost transparent.

Song Xier immediately raised her hands to cover her face, and Xiao Jie looked at the fear and panic flashing in her eyes with a smile.

"Hey." Xiao Jie whistled: "It seems that he remembered it."

Song Xi'er's breathing became rapid and she looked at Xiao Jie intently. After a few seconds, she suddenly stood up and walked quickly towards the bathroom.

Xiao Jie stared at Song Xier's back like a poisonous snake staring at its prey. He raised his head and drank the wine in his hand, then put it down and followed her.

There is a bathroom just around the corner at the end of the corridor. It is very quiet here and there are almost no people here.

Xiao Jie watched Song Xi'er walk into the women's restroom. He glanced behind him and then quickly followed in.

The moment the door was closed, there was a "bang" sound inside.
