How could Mu Zenin still not understand? Saying that it was a meeting, it was actually the old father-in-law's look at his future son-in-law, and if he went, it was equivalent to sitting on the relationship between himself and Qiao Jingjia.
"Jingjia, we agreed in the beginning ..." Mu Zenin's face was a bit ugly.
Qiao Jingjia was hit by what she heard and begged, "I know, I said at first that I don't want fame or points, but ... dad opened his mouth, I really can't refuse, Zenin, will you help me? I really don't want to let dad down, the last time, it's already very embarrassing for him ..."
Because of Xia Chenan's case, Qiao Nansheng vetoed his relationship with Qiao Jingjia in a press interview, only saying that the two were just coincidentally sharing the same last name, and that when he faced Qiao Jingjia again in private, it was inevitable that he would complain.
Mu Zenin understood that Qiao Jingjia was in a difficult situation, but asking him to meet Mayor Qiao as his boyfriend was not an option in any way!
"I'm sorry, Jingjia." Mu Zenin's tone was heavy, "Over the past year, because of my illness, you've paid a lot, I'm grateful for your help, if you're short of money, I can help you think of ways to do it, but this matter ... I really can't promise."
"Just as a play, can't it be okay?" Qiao Jingjia almost cried out.
"It's not a matter of acting, Jingjia, it may seem mean for me to say this, but I really only see you as a friend, if you need any other help, I'll definitely do everything I can to help you, only this matter ... really can't." Mu Zenin averted his gaze, feeling weak and unable to even look directly into Qiao Jingjia's eyes that were on the verge of shedding tears.
He felt guilty, even though the two of them had made an agreement in the beginning, when things progressed to this point, he still felt guilty.
Mu Zenin clearly recognized that he had become the one who crossed the river and broke the bridge.
Qiao Jingjia really did cry, pear blossoms and rain, miserable to the core.
"Zenin, I know that the person you love is Su Zi, but in your heart, is there really not a little bit of my position? Even if you accompany me in a play, you're not willing?" Qiao Jingjia asked with teary eyes, but in her heart, she was out of her mind with anger.
She didn't expect that Mu Zenin, who had always been easy to soften, would be so adamant this time!
Although the Mu family was in a state of decline, the thin camel was bigger than a horse, so if she could become the girlfriend of the grandson of a hundred year old family, it would add weight to her status.
So as long as she could bring Mu Zenin to see Qiao Nansheng, Qiao Nansheng would re-emphasize her! And she could also use the mayor's authority to force Mu Zenin to accept her as his fiancée.
Two birds with one stone, who knew Mu Zenin was so stubborn!
Mu Zenin sat across the coffee table, his expression still difficult, "I'm sorry ..."
His apology was tantamount to a rejection.
Qiao Jingjia then felt that her tears were in vain.
She had spent so much time and energy on this man, and in the end, it was a basket case! How hateful!
Her hand, which was flat on her leg, had already clenched into a fist, her long nails sinking deep into it, but Qiao Jingjia was unaware of it.
She was in too much pain!
Ever since she had met Mu Zi, she had encountered walls everywhere and everything had gone wrong, as if everything was against her!
In retrospect, if it wasn't for the fact that Mu Zi had poked and prodded her into wearing Su Zi's clothes during the last banquet, she would have taken Mu Zenin under her wing long ago! Instead of what she was doing now, she made Mu Zenin wary, distrustful, and even wanting to clear the air!
Not only did she lose her chance at fame, she also lost her man and her job.
And the culprit for all of this was all Mu Zi!
Hatred grew in Qiao Jingjia's heart and she gritted her teeth.
She was going to make Mu Zi pay a terrible price!
