Chapter 67 - Are You so Cheap Shang Xiaojie?
As they reached the ground floor, Jia Tianxia approached, saying, “Boss, I've changed your room.”
Finishing his report, he cast a glance at Shang Xiaojie nestled in Mu Sifa's arms, feeling his patience waning. He had noticed that his boss often liked to sweep Shang Xiaojie off his feet.
And as for Shang Xiaojie himself? He willingly allowed Mu Sifa to carry him. He displayed no inclination to break away.
This display of affection was just too much! Jia Tianxia found himself without a proper comeback.
In reality, it wasn't that Shang Xiaojie enjoyed being in Mu Sifa's arms, but rather, Mu Sifa frequently held him close. He had become accustomed to it, so there was no awkwardness on his part.
“Mu Sifa, stop.”
Suddenly, a surge of anger erupted from the hospital's entrance, followed by the furious arrival of Shang Minjie.
Approaching Mu Sifa, she attempted to slap him, yet Mu Sifa deflected her hand in time.
“Why are you shouting?” His demeanor abruptly cooled, his earlier joviality replaced with a stern expression as he faced Shang Minjie.
Shang Xiaojie's face drained of color, startled by Shang Minjie's unexpected appearance.
“Elder sister.” His voice quivered.
Already irked by being pushed aside by Mu Sifa, Shang Minjie's irritation escalated upon hearing Shang Xiaojie's words. “Who's your elder sis? Freeloader.” Her gaze turned hostile. Were it not for Mu Sifa, she might have slapped Shang Xiaojie across the face!
What's more, Shang Minjie's frustration had intensified due to her brothers from the west gate opting for Mu Sifa's care instead of visiting the Shang Family. This was her reason for confronting them here.
However, the situation had taken a turn for the worse, and she just happened upon Shang Xiaojie and Mu Sifa's harmonious interaction.
“Shang Xiaojie, who would've thought you'd be inept in medicine but adept at captivating men! Is it really so thrilling to have your brother-in-law embrace you? I long to have a man on top of me too, just like you, you tramp.” Her voice carried through the hall, reaching everyone's ears.
Initially, she struggled to contain her temper, but jealousy had now rendered her appearance unsightly. Despite her efforts, her anger remained unquelled, driving her to insult Shang Xiaojie.
“No, it's not like that, I…”
“What's not? Isn't it true, Shang Xiaojie, that you've climbed into bed with your brother-in-law? Does Mu Sifa just willingly fall into your arms? You, Shang Xiaojie, are truly a spectacle.”
While jealousy was a factor, it could be said that she was also releasing pent-up frustration upon Shang Xiaojie.
Even though the initial circumstances weren't quite as they seemed, Shang Xiaojie found it difficult to explain. What could he possibly say to Shang Minjie? Should he confess that he had been forcibly taken by Mu Sifa? Would Shang Minjie even believe him? Moreover, they were surrounded by people. How could he possibly air it out in the open? He had to consider Mu Sifa as well.
“What is it? I was correct, so there's no more need for words, right? You're truly a riot, Shang Xiaojie. Coming all this way to seek Mu Sifa, are you truly that cheap? From now on, don't address me as Big Sis. We don't associate with people like you in our Shang Family.”
Shang Xiaojie's tears streamed down his face. He was clearly blameless, yet Shang Minjie berated him so harshly.
“Shang Minjie.” Mu Sifa's anger surged. His shout reverberated throughout the hall.
“Why shout? Do you believe, Mu Sifa, that I, Shang Minjie, am afraid of you? Let me enlighten you, Mu Sifa. If you're considering divorce to marry him, you won't even get the chance.” Her voice grew hoarse, and her eyes burned with animosity.
