Jiang Xilin harbored a secret. He had been married to Shen Congyu, and then they divorced.
He had thought that if Shen Congyu ever dared to return, he would absolutely not let her off the hoo...
Chapter 10 Handing the Knife
Chen Congyu stood up Qi Ming, and later Qi Ming sent Chen Congyu several messages asking about her.
At first, Chen Congyu pretended not to see it, but then Qi Ming probably lost his patience and directly sent a very threatening message.
"I decided to help you because we get along pretty well. If you don't respect me like this, it won't be so easy to ask me for help in the future."
Chen Congyu is in a difficult situation now, but she also knows that Qi Ming's path will not work. Yu Xin's words hit her hard.
She didn't know Qi Ming well enough. If she got involved with him, she would have to worry all day about whether he would turn her into one of his female companions.
And not understanding means being full of unknowns, and she doesn't like this feeling.
If he had to face Chen Yao one day in the future, Shen Congyu didn't think Qi Ming could beat Chen Yao.
Chen Congyu didn't sleep much that night. When she woke up, she received a message from her agent asking her how her preparations were going.
Chen Congyu's nerves were tense and his head was splitting. He sat on the edge of the bed and pondered for a while before sending a message to Jiang Xilin.
[I heard you reject Qi Ming. Can you help me with that house? ]
After sending it out, Shen Congyu immediately regretted it. That money might not be a big deal to Jiang Xilin now, but spending it on her would have no return at all.
How could Jiang Xilin let her take advantage of him now?
Shen Congyu was about to withdraw the message, but just as he pressed it, Jiang Xilin replied.
Nine o'clock.
Shen Congyu looked at these two words for a long time.
…
Shen Congyu was always absent-minded when working during the day, and she knew it was a mistake to look for Jiang Xilin like this.
He hated her so much that her coming to him was like handing a knife to him with her own hands.
But for her own selfish desires, she still wanted to try it.
The closer it got to nine o'clock in the evening, the more anxious Chen Congyu became, and he even had the thought of escaping.
However, Jiang Xilin seemed to have guessed her thoughts. At 8:50, the manager found Shen Congyu and gave her a room card.
Shen Congyu had some knowledge of the presidential suite in the hotel's housing department. It was the one Jiang Xilin used personally.
The manager reminded her: "You can go now."
Shen Congyu squeezed the room card hard, and his next actions were completely mechanical. He came to the door of Jiang Xilin's suite in a daze.
Her palms were soaked with sweat the whole time. She was very quiet along the way. Logically, she should have calmed down, but unfortunately she didn't.
The closer she got to Jiang Xilin, the less she seemed to be able to maintain her sanity.
She swiped her card to open the door, and the thick carpet swallowed up her already light footsteps. The warm light inside was not as bright, and there was no sign of Jiang Xilin in the living room.
Chen Congyu was hesitating when she keenly heard some talking. She followed the sound and came to the outside of the bathroom, where the talking became clearer.
It was Jiang Xilin. He seemed to be on the phone and mentioned Dong Mansion.
"I'm not interested in the house in East Mansion, but I didn't expect you to notice it."
His voice was much softer than usual, and his tone was also quite different. Shen Congyu intuitively knew that the other person was a woman.
Maybe it's his girlfriend.
Could it be that she is also interested in the house in Dong Mansion?
Before Shen Congyu could think about it, she heard Jiang Xilin continue to say: "Of course I can give it to you if you want it."
He smiled, looking very relaxed. "How could I not give you what you want? It's just a house."
This confirms Chen Congyu's guess.
The color drained from her face, both because of the situation and because of Jiang Xilin's attitude towards her.
Miss Duan is Jiang Xilin's girlfriend. No matter in terms of money or love, she, Shen Congyu, is a complete loser.
The light above his head was dazzling, and Shen Congyu realized what he was doing here, and his face turned pale.
She racked her brains for the house, couldn't sleep at night, and even thought of the worst case scenario.
Why did Jiang Xilin call her here? To humiliate her?
How could he get back 40 million from her?
Chen Congyu fled the suite as if escaping, ran into the elevator, and leaned against the wall of the car weakly.
There was a sharp pain in his lower abdomen and cold sweat broke out for a while. Chen Congyu squatted in the corner without moving, and remained indifferent even when the elevator arrived.
It took a long time, so long that someone was about to come in and scared everyone, and then she apologized and staggered away.
What made her stop was the message from Jiang Xilin.
He was coldly reminding her that the time was up.
