Xu Jiamu didn't make a sound. Without batting an eyelid, he pulled his hand out from the car door, then faintly handed the car keys to the doorman. "Could you please stop the car for me? Thank you."
After the doorman took the keys, Xu Jiamu turned around and walked into China World Hotel Beijing.
Xu Jiamu stood in the elevator, his face calm as he stared straight ahead. His uninjured hand silently caressed the hand that had just been caught. It was covered in dark purple bruises, and the moment he touched it, it was a bone-piercing pain. However, the pain wasn't even a thousandth of the pain in his heart.
Even though he was determined to forget, to get rid of the habits in his life that had to do with her, when he felt her presence, he couldn't help but stare at her in a daze. However, all he could do was stare at her in a daze. Right now, he didn't even have the right to say a simple greeting to her.
One day, he would also get rid of his habit of staring at her in a daze.
At the banquet, Xu Jiamu was elegant and courteous. No matter if it was someone he was familiar with or not, as long as someone came up to strike up a conversation with him, he would smile and patiently exchange pleasantries. His performance was perfect to the point of being flawless.
Indeed, there were quite a few socialites who came up to chat with him. Among them, there were even two young women who kept their attention on him. They even created opportunities to bump into him a few times at the banquet.
In the past, Xu Jiamu didn't pay much attention to these women, but tonight, when they greeted him, he smiled back like a gentleman, or clinked his glass and downed it in one gulp.
Halfway through the banquet, Xu Jiamu walked to the quiet balcony and lit a cigarette. Halfway through, the glass door behind him was suddenly pushed open and someone walked in.
Xu Jiamu instinctively turned his head to see a young woman.
When the woman saw that there was someone on the balcony, she was slightly stunned. Then she smiled apologetically. "Sorry, I didn't know there was someone here."
Xu Jiamu didn't say a word. He just put out the cigarette in his hand and walked towards the banquet hall, leaving the balcony for the woman who came out for some fresh air.
When Xu Jiamu reached his hand out to pull the door open, the woman suddenly stared at his fingers and cried out in a low voice. "Sir, your hand looks really bad. Did you apply medicine?"
Xu Jiamu glanced at his swollen fingers, which were caught in the car door. He calmly turned his head and looked at the woman. he gave her a slight nod to express his thanks for her concern, and opened the door.
The woman pulled out a tube of ointment from her bag and handed it over. "This ointment is really good at removing bruises and swelling. It's for you.
Xu Jiamu didn't take it. Instead, he raised his head and took a look at the girl. She wasn't very pretty. Even with makeup on, she still looked mediocre and unremarkable.
The girl felt a little embarrassed under his stare. Perhaps she realized that she had been too enthusiastic, so she smiled shyly and explained in a low voice, "Sorry, I'm a doctor. When I see someone hurt, it's a reflex reaction."
As she said this, the girl raised the ointment in front of Xu Jiamu and took it back.
