Xiamang stood in front of the house and quietly took out the key to open the door. The lights in the living room were actually on. She looked over and was surprised to see her parents sitting on the sofa in the living room. They were obviously waiting for her.
"Dad, Mom, it's so late. Why aren't you sleeping?”Usually, at this time, his parents would have already returned to their rooms to rest. Xiamang put the keys back into her bag and smiled sheepishly. The two old men's expressions did not look too good.
"Why aren't you answering your phone, Sammy?”Mother Xia was the first to speak. She was fairer than her peers, but there were quite a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
"I muted my phone during the meeting in the afternoon. I forgot to change it back, so I didn't hear it.”No wonder she didn't hear her phone ring the entire night. It turned out that in order to avoid Wen Hao's call, she chose not to hear or feel annoyed. However, if his phone rang at night, would it be different now?
"Where did you go last night?" Dad Xia's voice was a little serious. He was a university professor and had always been strict with Xiamang.
" I was just having coffee with Wenhao. I forgot the time and was a little late…" Xia Mang tried to sound natural, but her heart ached as if it had been split open. His parents still didn't know that he had broken up with Wenhao. It was so late now, and he had blurted out a lie. He would tell them the truth when he had time.
"Were you with Wenhao at night?" Dad Xia raised his voice.
"Yes." Xia Mang felt a little guilty. She regretted not saying that she was with a classmate or colleague.
"Wenhao called me countless times last night, and you actually lied to your mother and me!”Mr. Xia suddenly got up from the sofa and looked very excited. Mrs. Xia, who was beside him, quickly got up and pulled her husband back. She looked up at Xiamang and asked worriedly,"Sammy, what happened between you and Vincent?"”
Xia Mang lowered his eyes and took a deep breath."It's fine. We just broke up.”
"Break up?" At that moment, Mrs. Xia was even more excited than Mr. Xia. She took a few steps forward and grabbed Xiamang's hand."Sammy, why did you break up with her just like that?" she asked anxiously. Didn't you say that you were going to get married next year?”
"We broke up because we didn't think it was suitable."
"Sammy, you've been together for more than a year or two. Why would you wait until now if you're not suitable? Besides, you know best how Wenhao treats you. You can't be so willful, understand?”
You know best how Wenhao treats you…Perhaps everyone who knows her and Wenhao would think that Wenhao treats her too well, including Xiamang herself. Mother Xia tried her best to persuade him. Father Xia was so angry that he sat back down on the sofa. Xia Mang felt sad and said bitterly,""There's a woman who's pregnant with Wenhao's child, so we can only break up. This ending won't change. So, Dad, Mom, from today onwards, your daughter doesn't have a boyfriend. I'm tired. I'll go back to my room to rest. You guys should sleep early too.”
For the next two days, Xiamang felt as if a lifetime had passed. Wen Hao continued to send flowers to his office and make countless calls as usual. Xiamang threw the flowers into the trash can, turned off her phone, and continued to work.
"Hey, Xiao Xia, why did you throw away the flowers your boyfriend gave you today?”The department director, Old Shu, who was sitting behind Xiamang, had been curious for a few days and finally couldn't help but ask.
"It's not from my boyfriend." Xia Mang lowered her head and stared at the report as she replied softly.
"Yesterday, I heard from Little Na from Riheng import and export company that their company's Beauty Chu seems to be getting married to the son of the director of the municipal office.”Shi Jing, who was sitting in the next row, said something shocking. Everyone in the office knew that Xiamang's boyfriend, Xu Wenhao, was Director Xu's only son.
"Listen to their nonsense. Director Xu's daughter-in-law is definitely our Xiao Xia. Who doesn't know how well Xu Wenhao treats our Xiao Xia?”Mo Yan 'er, who was sitting at the front, put down her work and turned to look at Shi Jing. She then shouted at Xia Mang.
Xia Mang smiled bitterly in her heart. In this office, Mo Yan 'er and her were the best. After graduation, Xiamang went straight to the headquarters of the most famous company in the city, the New Age Group. The so-called direct job was that she did not go through a recruitment interview and only filled out a human resources form. From the first day of work, she did not need to go through the probation period to become an official employee. Everyone in the office, including Mo Yan 'er, thought that it was because of her boyfriend's father that she was like this. In fact, only Xiamang knew that it was not the case. The current CEO of the Ji Yuan Corporation and her father had a bunk bed relationship when they were students.
"I'm single now." After saying that, Xiamang ignored everyone else. Whispers of discussion could be heard from all around, but no one asked anything else. It was not until they got off work and exited the elevator that Mo Yan 'er pulled Xia Mang back and asked," Xiao Xia, what happened?"
"We just broke up."
After Xia Mang finished speaking, he stopped. Mo Yan 'er turned her head to look at Xia Mang. When she saw Xia Mang stop, she turned her head and saw Xu Wenhao standing outside the building.
"Xiao Xia, I'll be leaving first. It's a weekend tomorrow and the day after. We can have tea together when we're free.”Mo Yan 'er said as she walked out. She glanced at Xu Wenhao, who was not far ahead, and turned back to wave at Xia Mang.
"Since you've already made it clear, what else do you want?”Xiamang walked straight to a place where there were fewer people. Seeing Wen Hao again, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. In just a few days, her emotional world had completely changed.
" Xia Zi, Xia Zi, listen to me…"
"Wenhao, there's no point in continuing this.”Xiamang turned around and suppressed the anger in her heart. She looked at Xu Wenhao's pale and exhausted face and felt a sense of revenge." She's pregnant with your child. Do you want her to be an unmarried mother or do you want me to raise the child for you?"”
" Xia Zi, I can't accept this result…" Wen Hao choked.
"Wenhao, you shouldn't say this to me. Don't do those meaningless things anymore. Just break up like this. Memories and forgetfulness, choose the one that can make you happy. That's what I told myself.”
Wen Hao still refused to give up. Flowers, phone calls, and camping after work. You could throw away the flowers, you could not pick up the phone, and you could ignore the people waiting downstairs after work, but they could not be completely ignored when they looked at you from afar.
Apart from that, Xia Mang gradually felt the pressure of work. This pressure stemmed from the interpersonal relationships between colleagues. Perhaps it was because she thought that her backer had fallen, but those colleagues who were originally very enthusiastic seemed to be a little cold and indifferent, and those who were usually on good terms with her always looked at her with sympathy. Xia Mang sighed in her heart. She had successfully entered the company and was now sitting in a position that everyone envied, including Wenhao's bouquet of roses every day for the past two years. When you put on a show of romance and good luck in the office every day, it might be seen as showing off in the eyes of some people.
"Director Shu, I want to take my annual leave from next week.”Since there were few people in the office, Xiamang turned around and asked for leave from the department director, Mr. Shu, who was sitting behind her.
Old Shu looked up at Xia Mang and sighed awkwardly.""Xiao Xia, you see, the company has been so busy recently. The National Day holiday has been used to work overtime. You're also the backbone of the department. If you go on vacation now, just the phone calls will annoy you to death. You definitely won't be able to take a good vacation.”
Now, it was the end of the year, and work would only get busier and busier. If he said that he would be busy during this period, wouldn't he have to wait until the new year? Xia Mang did not think much of it, but he did not show any displeasure on his face. He smiled and said,""Then let's apply again after a while.”
It was not an illusion. In the past, it was very convenient to ask for leave, and he had never been rejected.
The afternoon was still busy, and Old Shu had just returned from a meeting when he was about to get off work. As soon as he entered the office, he said to Xiamang,""Xiao Xia, you can take your annual leave from tomorrow onwards. If you want to take a vacation in the future, just let the higher-ups know and get the HR department to inform me.”
When he said this, Old Shu's voice was not soft, and everyone in the office happened to be present.
"Director Shu?" Xiamang was baffled. Didn't he say that he couldn't take the annual leave this morning? Now that he agreed, he even said that he should inform his superiors directly. What did he mean?
"Xiao Xia, I know you've been in a bad mood recently and want to relax, but I told you this morning that the department has been so busy recently that you really can't find the time. However, since you've applied for leave from the CEO, you don't have to tell me anything in the future. Just report to the CEO.”
"President?" Xiamang muttered and understood.
Her father must have noticed that she had been hiding in her room after work recently. She didn't answer the phone and didn't go out. He was worried about her and wanted her to take a break.
"Forget it, you don't have to explain anymore. Arrange the work at hand and hand this information to CEO Yu of Heng Long Real Estate.”Old Shu returned to his seat and handed a document to Xia Mang.
Xia Mang looked at the information and said hesitantly,""Hasn't Xiao Shi always been in charge of the CASE of Heng Long Real Estate?”
"During your annual leave, half of your work will fall into Xiao Shi's hands. Ask her for her address and contact information. Hurry up and send it over. If you're late, the other party will get off work.”
Xia Mang took it helplessly and asked Shi Jing for her address and contact information. After she finished her work, she left the company.
