Chapter 138 As Long as You Leave

When Zhou Zhou heard this, he relaxed his guard a little and said, "But sister, you still have to tell your friend in advance. My uncle is a workaholic. His previous girlfriends all broke up with him because he worked so hard all the time."

Wen Song had already taken out his phone. "Okay, I'll tell her. If it works out, it works out. If it doesn't, don't force it."

After adding Zhou Yuye’s WeChat, Wen Song took Shen Congyu away.

The two got in the car, and Wen Song took out his phone to see if Zhou Yu had added him back, but there was no movement.

Chen Congyu: “I guess he’s not looking at his phone right now.”

"It's okay. If he adds me later, I'll recommend it to you."

Chen Congyu stayed at Wen Song's house tonight.

She still lives alone until now. The house arranged for her by the Meng family is a large duplex. She likes shopping. She has just arrived in Haicheng not long ago. Living alone in such a large two-story house, the house does not look empty.

The two of them took a shower and slept together. Chen Congyu was preoccupied and could not fall asleep. At some point in the middle of the night, he vaguely heard some movement beside him. Wen Song seemed to have gotten up.

Chen Congyu thought she was going to the bathroom and didn't think much about it, but then she heard her open the door and go out.

She waited for a long time but Wen Song didn't come back. She turned on the light and didn't see Wen Song's phone, so she sent him a message instead.

Two minutes later, Wen Song replied: "Did I wake you up? I'm fine. Dr. Meng has an emergency tonight. I need to see him for something. You should go to sleep first."

Only then did Chen Congyu feel relieved and told her to be careful on the road before turning off her phone and going back to sleep.

When she had to go to work in the morning, Chen Congyu didn't wait for Wen Song, so she left breakfast for her and went out.

After working steadily for the whole morning, Shen Congyu took advantage of the lunch break to stretch his muscles and bones, thinking in his mind when would be the best time to ask Jiang Xilin.

However, before she found the opportunity, the young lady at the front desk downstairs called Shen Congyu and said that a lady named Duan was looking for her.

Chen Congyu thought of Duan Ke.

If it was Duan Zhen, after running into her and Jiang Xilin, she probably wouldn't follow the procedure.

Chen Congyu told the lady at the front desk to wait for a few minutes.

In the coffee shop opposite the magazine office, coffee was served. Chen Congyu couldn't wait and took the initiative to say to Duan Ke: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"I already know everything that happened yesterday."

Shen Congyu looked at her quietly.

Duan Ke added: "Everything about you and Xilin."

Apart from their secret relationship of sleeping together, the only thing that happened between her and Jiang Xilin was their marriage and divorce a few years ago.

Chen Congyu was not surprised.

She just didn't expect that Duan Ke didn't seem to be much affected.

"I'm sorry for hiding my relationship with Jiang Xilin. I think you can understand that that was not my intention."

Duan Ke said, "I was very angry yesterday. After all, I really treated you as a friend some time ago. Thinking about it, I asked you what type of man you like and I was planning to introduce you to some, I feel ridiculous."

Chen Congyu didn't say anything. Facing Duan Ke, she was still the one who ignored him.

Duan Ke saw her every move clearly and did not intend to tell Chen Congyu that she and Jiang Xilin were no longer boyfriend and girlfriend.

She continued, "Xilin told me that you were married and you divorced him, so after you returned to Haicheng, he was unhappy with you and wanted to keep you around. Later I thought about it and I can understand it from his perspective, but my empathy only applies until today."

"You can ask him to let me go, and I won't have anything to do with him in the future."

When Shen Congyu heard Duan Ke's middle sentence, her heart began to chill uncontrollably. Even though she knew what Jiang Xilin meant, she still felt deeply powerless when she heard it from someone else.

She tried to use Duan Ke's relationship to get Jiang Xilin to show some mercy to her.

Duan Ke: "But you are still here, still in Haicheng, and you still have the same social circle. How can you guarantee that there will be no relationship in the future?"

"You are his girlfriend, and I am just an identity that he hates. If you come forward, he will definitely choose you."

There was a barely perceptible crack beneath Duan Ke's perfect expression.

Because Jiang Xilin did not choose her.

Even if they had been together before and were still in a partnership, he couldn't choose her and break up with the woman in front of him.

This is where Duan Ke got angry.

But she couldn't show it in front of Shen Congyu.

She couldn't let Chen Congyu know that she and Jiang Xilin didn't have much affection for each other.

"He can choose me, but I'm worried. If you two ever meet again, how can I be sure that the same mistakes won't happen again?"

Shen Congyu vaguely understood what she meant.

She asked her, "What do you want me to do?"

Duan Ke: "Leave Haicheng."

Chen Congyu's fingers holding the coffee cup stiffened for a moment.

Duan Ke continued, "I can understand Xilin's previous actions. As a man, he only did something out of line like this once. So I can turn a blind eye this time, but I can only be truly relieved if you leave and never come back."

"I have nothing. My current job is very important to me. If I change places, it will be difficult for me to continue."

"I can give you some money. If you want to find a job somewhere you've settled down, I can try my best to help you find one."

Duan Ke extended an olive branch.

Obviously, she had thought about these conditions before coming and could ensure that nothing was wrong.

She was very generous.

In fact, Chen Congyu really has nothing to complain about.

But she still didn't say whether it was good or bad.

Duan Ke thought she was hesitant. "Even if you don't leave and stay with Xilin, given his attitude towards you, what can he give you? Don't let yourself be left with nothing, not only your money, but also your reputation."

She really touched upon Chen Congyu's most vulnerable point.

It was a good thing that Jiang Xilin didn't torture her to death. How could he give her anything?

Chen Congyu picked up the cup and took a sip. The bitter taste spread throughout his mouth, waking up his brain.

"Can you make sure Jiang Xilin won't do anything if I leave?"

Duan Ke: "If I cooperate with you, at least he won't notice when you leave. After you leave, I will confuse your signs."

It seems that she has come up with a plan to make Shen Congyu leave.

Everything depends on Chen Congyu's ability to leave.

Maybe if she wasn't around, it would be easier for her to talk to Jiang Xilin.

Chen Congyu said: "I can't leave immediately. I still have work to do and it's easy for Jiang Xilin to find out."

Seeing her give in, Duan Ke's mouth relaxed a lot.

“If you’ve thought about it, waiting a while is not a problem. Miss Shen, I like to work with smart people.”

Chen Congyu nodded, and the rest did not need to be explained.

"I'll get back to you."

…

Duan Ke met with Shen Congyu and went to see Jiang Xilin in the afternoon.

He was in a meeting, and she waited for him in the lounge for half an hour before she saw him.

The first thing Duan Ke said was, "I've thought about it. For the sake of my parents, we shouldn't announce our breakup publicly for the time being."
