Xu Siyan: "You don't have to apologize to me."
Jiang Mingzhu: "That's right, apologizing is useless."
She laughed self-deprecatingly, and then asked him: "If the matter is so big, will your family hold you responsible?"
When Jiang Mingzhu said this, Xu Siyan remembered Xu Moyan's attitude on the phone.
Although Xu Moyan didn't say anything on the phone, based on Xu Siyan's understanding of him, this matter would never be settled like this.
And this person is still Ruan Yi——
Xu Moyan has a close relationship with the old man of the Ruan family. Xu Siyan and Ruan Yi had met many years ago, and the old man of the Ruan family also had the idea of marrying Ruan Yi into the Xu family.
And Ruan Yi happened to be the one Xu Moyan admired the most among the younger Ruan family members.
I have to say that Zhou Li is really good at selecting people - after something like this happened and was exposed by the media, no matter what the reason was, Xu Moyan would give the Ruan family an explanation.
The best explanation is the marriage mentioned in the news headline.
Xu Siyan's silence had given Jiang Mingzhu the answer, and also made Jiang Mingzhu's guilt rise to a higher level.
Jiang Mingzhu: "I'll think of a way."
Xu Siyan: "No need."
He actually smiled at her and said, "Anyway, we are just acting. I volunteered to cooperate with you. You don't owe me anything."
Jiang Mingzhu: "You know it's impossible for me to think that way."
Xu Siyan: "Yes, I said this just to make you feel more guilty."
He touched the mug with his fingers and stared directly at her, "If you really feel guilty and want to repay me, then follow my arrangements and go to treatment."
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
She really didn't expect Xu Siyan to still be thinking about this matter at this time.
Jiang Mingzhu's silence also gave Xu Siyan the answer. He raised the corners of his mouth mockingly: "Forget it, you don't need to feel guilty in the first place."
When Jiang Mingzhu was speechless, Xu Siyan's cell phone rang again.
Jiang Mingzhu looked over subconsciously and saw "Dad" on the screen.
It's the Xu family's phone number.
Jiang Mingzhu didn't hear what was said there, but she heard Xu Siyan's serious reply, "Go back immediately."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Siyan said to Jiang Mingzhu: "I'm going back first, and you can think about what I said."
——
When Xu Siyan returned to the Xu family, not only his parents were waiting for him, but also Mr. Ruan and Ruan Yi.
Ruan Yi was wearing a white skirt, with her long black hair pulled up, and she was sitting quietly next to Mr. Ruan.
As soon as Xu Siyan entered the door, he received a warning look from Xu Moyan.
Xu Siyan said nothing.
Mr. Ruan was very easy-going and even greeted Xu Siyan with a smile: "Syan is back."
At the end, he pushed Ruan Yi's shoulder, "Ruan Yi, why don't you say hello to Si Yan?"
Ruan Yi pursed his lips, raised his head to look at Xu Siyan, and said "Hello" neither humble nor overbearing.
Xu Siyan ignored Ruan Yi.
Mrs. Xu Wan Liu was a little dissatisfied with Xu Siyan's behavior: "Syan, Ruan Yi is talking to you, be polite to your future wife!"
Xu Siyan stared at Ruan Yi's position for a few seconds and then turned to look at Wan Liu: "Future wife?"
The tone of his words was very harsh, with deep disdain, and he did not hide his contempt for Ruan Yi.
Xu Moyan's expression turned cold when he heard this: "Mr. Ruan brought Ruan Yi here today to discuss your marriage."
Xu Siyan: "When did I say I wanted to marry her?"
Xu Moyan: "What happened last night, do you still want to evade responsibility?"
Xu Siyan: "She knew who was responsible for last night."
This sentence was said while looking at Ruan Yi.
With Xu Siyan's words, everyone's eyes turned to Ruan Yi.
Ruan Yi pursed his lips in embarrassment and remained silent for almost half of the time.
After a minute, he spoke with difficulty: "I'm sorry, if Si Yan doesn't want to... don't force him, it's okay with me."
Mr. Ruan said nothing and only looked at Xu Moyan and Wan Liu.
Wan Liu: "How come it doesn't matter? You are a girl, and now such a big thing has happened. How can you live in the future if you don't handle it well?"
Wan Liu, like Xu Moyan, has a good impression of Ruan Yi, and Xu Siyan has always been single without a girlfriend. Of course he has to take responsibility for something like this. "Siyan, you are such a big man, you have to bear the consequences of what you do." , you also have to think about Ruan Yi."
Xu Moyan's attitude was not so good: "You don't want to get married, what did you do last night? When did I teach you to do this? You have to get married whether you get married or not!"
Xu Siyan did not reply to their words, and looked at Ruan Yi again.
Ruan Yi lowered his head and did not look at him.
Ruan Yi lowered his head and looked like he was frightened by Xu Siyan. Wan Liu hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be afraid, Ruan Yi. We will definitely give you an explanation for what happened last night."
——
Not long after Xu Siyan left, Jiang Mingzhu met Fu Xiaozhi.
Fu Xiaozhi had also seen the news a long time ago and started asking about Jiang Mingzhu's situation as soon as they met.
But Fu Xiaozhi didn't dare to ask too many questions for fear of hurting Jiang Mingzhu's mood.
Until Jiang Mingzhu said: "Ruan Yi went with Zhou Li last night."
Fu Xiaozhi's shoulders stiffened for a moment, and her brain stagnated for a few seconds before she suddenly reacted: "You mean..."
"It was all designed by Zhou Li." Jiang Mingzhu said, "He didn't want me to be with Xu Siyan."
Fu Xiaozhi: "..."
Such despicable means don’t seem like Zhou Li’s style.
But the outrageous things Zhou Li did for Jiang Mingzhu were not just one or two, they seemed very reasonable.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Do you know Ruan Yi?"
Fu Xiaozhi: "I know her, but I'm not familiar with her. Although she is from the Ruan family, she doesn't participate in many activities in the circle."
Fu Xiaozhi told Jiang Mingzhu all the information she knew: "But Mr. Ruan has a good relationship with the Xu family. The Xu family seemed to have intended to marry Xu Siyan and Ruan Yi before, but it failed in the end."
After Jiang Mingzhu heard this, she immediately guessed the reason why Zhou Li chose Ruan Yi.
If it were a random woman who had no connection with the Xu family, maybe the Xu family would have found another way to solve the problem.
But now it's Ruan Yi - the marriage partner who was favored by the Xu family before.
This is a smooth process.
Jiang Mingzhu snorted, put down the cup and stood up to leave.
Fu Xiaozhi: "Zhuzhu, where are you going?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Wanhua."
Fu Xiaozhi: "...I'll accompany you."
Jiang Mingzhu: "No, I'll go by myself."
Without giving Fu Xiaozhi a chance to continue, Jiang Mingzhu turned around and left.
Fu Xiaozhi sighed as she watched Jiang Mingzhu get into the taxi, and finally decided to send Zhou Li a WeChat reminder.
——
Less than five minutes after Zhou Li saw Fu Xiaozhi's WeChat message, the office door was pushed open.
After seeing Jiang Mingzhu, Zhou Li put down his phone and stood up and walked around the desk.
When Jiang Mingzhu stopped in front of him, Zhou Li asked coldly: "Do you want to see me for anything?"
Seeing his nonchalant look, Jiang Mingzhu laughed mockingly: "Don't you know why I'm looking for you?"
