In order to get to the bottom of this matter, Fang Jiayi even called the mobile office to retrieve her call records during that period. In the first few days after she went abroad, she received more than a dozen calls every day, from Su Yi, Xiao Xiao, her parents, and Mu Ziyin. Mu Ziyin called the most, with an average of five or six calls a day. Then, a week after she went abroad, the calls gradually stopped coming in.
Fang Jiayi thought that he probably gave up at that time. He sold the house and changed his phone number. It seemed that he had really let it go.
She thought she would feel relieved when she heard the news, but it turned out not to be the case at all. She felt depressed and took a deep breath, but still couldn't feel relieved. Her mind was full of the image of him falling down the stairs after getting drunk.
*
After that, Fang Jiayi never met Mu Ziyin again.
She returned to the main hospital to work and was successfully promoted to Professor Fang. Despite her young age, she held this title that everyone envied. In the main hospital, she was a role model and idol for all the interns.
Because she was so outstanding, she was interviewed by a TV station. After that, pregnant women from all over the country flocked to her from all directions, all because they had seen her interview on TV and came to see her. Fang Jiayi had so many patients that she could not schedule all of them, and she worked overtime every day and night, so much that the hospital almost became her home.
Occasionally, after finishing an operation, she would sit alone on the rooftop, staring at the bright sunlight above her head with a dazed expression.
I haven't seen Mu Ziyin for almost four months, but I still often see news about him on TV.
Mu's recently launched a new electronic product, and its stock price has skyrocketed. Mr. Mu won first place in the yacht race, and he is surrounded by beautiful young models...
She had often heard this news before, but at that time, she never paid attention to it. But now, whenever his news or figure appeared in the news, she would stop and watch it quietly.
His leg healed and he won a yacht race.
Fang Jiayi lowered her eyes and smiled, happy for him from the bottom of her heart.
Sometimes, her colleagues would tease her, "What? Professor Fang, are you also interested in this playboy?"
Fang Jiayi shook her head and smiled, and replied, "Actually, he is not unfaithful at all."
"If you're not unfaithful, why do you keep changing girlfriends?"
"Maybe it's just hype." Fang Jiayi said, and then walked away with a smile, but no one knew that every time when it was late at night, she would always ask herself: Is this really the case? Is it possible that he is still as chaste as a virgin
Fang Jiayi didn't have a holiday until New Year's Day. Su Yi invited her to go on vacation to the sea. She thought that she had already declined Su Yi's invitation many times and couldn't refuse it again, so she agreed.
On New Year's Day, the weather was exceptionally sunny, the wind was not strong, and it was slightly cool and comfortable.
When Fang Jiayi arrived at the beach, there were already quite a few people on the yacht, all of whom were familiar people.
The first person to see her was Song Yanan, who was wearing black sunglasses. Song Yanan was holding a can of German beer and waved at her, "Come here."
Fang Jiayi smiled slightly and walked over in her high heels.
She hasn't had her hair cut in the past four months. Now her hair has grown to her neck and is casually tied behind her head, looking playful and cute.
"You have long hair?" Song Yanan smiled when he saw her walking onto the yacht.
Fang Jiayi nodded, "Yeah, I was too busy and didn't have time to cut my hair, so I just let it grow."
Song Yanan nodded and added, "But you look good with long hair too."
"Thank you." I always feel happy when I am praised by others.
"Do you plan to keep it longer in the future?"
"Maybe."
Fang Jiayi was pulled by Song Yan'an onto the deck. There was a lot of space there, with many sofas and many people sitting on them, including Mu Ziyin, who was wearing a white sports suit and holding a magazine, flipping through it leisurely.
Compared to his usual sloppy look in a suit, this outfit makes him look younger and more energetic, like a college student, with clear features and a faint smile in his eyes.
Next to him was a girl wearing a baseball cap, who was holding his arm and reading the same magazine as him.
This girl with extremely delicate and beautiful facial features actually looks very much like her, and the faint smile between her eyebrows is indescribably decent and perfect.
"Xiaoxiao is the youngest brother's current girlfriend." Song Yan'an explained to her, "Mrs. Mu found her for him."
Fang Jiayi was stunned? Xiaoxiao? Madam Mu found it for him
Looking at the girl named Xiaoxiao, yes, no wonder she felt so familiar just now, it turns out that she is the second Ying Weirong.
Fang Jiayi turned her head to glance at Song Yanan, curled her lips and wanted to smile, but it felt too forced and she didn't smile in the end.
"You're here." Su Yi came out of the kitchen with biscuits in his hand, followed by Xiao Xiao, who was pregnant. He said, "These biscuits were made by Xiao Xiao. Everyone, have a try."
Su Yi put down the biscuits, and Ji Chensi immediately stood up, supported Xiao Xiao who was unable to move, and asked caringly, "Are you tired?"
"Not bad." Xiao Xiao smiled and was supported by Ji Chensi to sit down.
Su Yi leaned over to Lan Fuchu's ear and whispered something to him. Lan Fuchu nodded. She kissed him on the cheek, then came over and held Fang Jiayi's hand, with a smile in her eyes, "You're finally here. We've had dinner together several times in the past few months, but you didn't come. You said you'd come once a month?"
"I'm busy. I was recently transferred back to the main hospital and got a promotion, so I'm not busy." Fang Jiayi explained with a slight curve at the corners of her lips.
Su Yi said, "You can't forget about us even if you're busy. You and the rest of us have known each other since high school, which is at least ten years. With such a relationship, you should keep in touch more often, right?"
"Okay, it's my fault. Next time I'll treat you guys to a meal to make amends, okay?"
"That's more like it." Su Yi nodded her head. Although they were the same age, Su Yi always looked like her sister. She took her hand and asked her to sit over.
A group of people sat together chatting and laughing. Fang Jiayi didn't speak much. She only answered when others asked her questions. If no one asked her, she wouldn't speak on her own initiative.
After eating biscuits, the men brought wine and drinks. I don’t know who suggested playing cards, and then the game began.
There were eight people, two in a group. Su Yi and Lan Fuchu, Xiao Xiao and Ji Chensi, Mu Ziyin and Lin Xiaoxiao, Fang Jiayi and Song Yanan were forced into a group. They looked at each other and smiled a little awkwardly.
At this time, Fang Jiayi always felt that someone was looking at her. When she looked up, she met a pair of calm eyes.
When she first arrived, Fang Jiayi didn't dare to look directly into Mu Ziyin's eyes. Now, she saw clearly that there was no emotion in his beautiful eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger.
Suddenly, a subtle pain spread throughout Fang Jiayi's heart.
So this is what heartache feels like.
Neither of them spoke, their eyes were locked in silence, causing the atmosphere to become slightly stagnant.
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at Fang Jiayi, a hint of unhappiness hidden under her perfect smile. She secretly hugged Mu Ziyin's arm, wanting him to stop looking at Fang Jiayi.
The others understood what was going on, but they just kept silent.
Finally, it was Song Yanan who broke the silence, "Game, shall we start?"
Fang Jiayi came back to her senses and quickly looked away.
The game begins.
Fang Jiayi didn't say anything, but Mu Ziyin kept losing. In just one hour, he lost tens of millions. He originally played cards to kill time, but unexpectedly, Mu Ziyin became addicted to losing, just like self-torture.
Later, Fang Jiayi couldn't bear to watch it anymore. She sighed softly, and felt a silent pain in her heart.
A card game lasted from the bright sunshine to the sunset. Then someone suggested going for a winter swim. So in the beautiful setting sun, all the men put on swimming trunks, dived into the sea from the yacht, and swam gracefully in the blue sea.
Fang Jiayi did not enter the water, but leaned on the silver railing and looked into the distance. The night gradually blurred the coastline, the shallow sea, and the lonely lighthouse.
Mu Ziyin and Lin Xiaoxiao did not go into the water either, but sat on the sofa to talk about things.
"Ziyin, your mother's birthday is next month. What should I give her?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked.
"All right."
Lin Xiaoxiao wrinkled her nose. "Of course I asked you because you are my aunt's son. Just tell me, what kind of gift does Madam Mu like?"
