Stained Reputation

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 151 Give You a Chance

In public, Shen Congyu was still a little uncomfortable with Jiang Xilin's direct and intimate contact. Half of her body was stiff and her voice was dry: "I know."

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Jiang Xilin lowered his eyes and glanced at her and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Chen Congyu wanted to pull his arm away, but stopped, "Actually, there's no need to do this."

"You don't want to?"

"No..." Chen Congyu looked at his calm reaction, which was much calmer than hers. She whispered, "I just can't adapt."

Jiang Xilin was even more confident, "That's perfect, now I can adapt to it."

Through a thin layer of clothes, Chen Congyu could almost feel the warmth of his arm, which was like a vine entwining her and could not be shaken off.

Teacher Zhang and his wife came out quickly, and when they saw Jiang Xilin and Shen Congyu, their faces were filled with smiles.

"I'm so sorry to bother you to come pick us up."

Jiang Xilin helped her take the suitcase, and with his other hand he naturally held Shen Congyu's hand, "It's okay, you guys finally came here, of course I have to make arrangements."

Teacher Zhang looked at their intimate posture and was naturally happy that they were doing well, and his smile never faded.

Today Xi Wen was the driver. After he put the luggage away, it was almost time for lunch when they returned to Jinghu. Jiang Xilin was well prepared and took them home for dinner.

Teacher Zhang was very polite, but he couldn't resist Jiang Xilin's invitation and agreed.

On the way back, Chen Congyu was so sleepy that she fell asleep on Jiang Xilin's shoulder while listening to their voices.

After seeing this, Teacher Zhang winked at Jiang Xilin and asked them to speak more quietly.

Jiang Xilin turned his head to look, reached out and held Shen Congyu's head, allowing her to lean more comfortably.

When they were almost there, Shen Congyu slowly woke up. When she opened her eyes and saw Jiang Xilin's face so close to her, she was stunned.

Teacher Zhang smiled and said, "Did you sleep well? Did we wake you up?"

Shen Congyu felt embarrassed when she realized that she had slept like this on Jiang Xilin all the way in front of others.

Her face flushed and she sat up straight, "No, no."

Jiang Xilin glanced at her and added, "She slept late last night."

They naturally thought that Shen Congyu was doing this for work, and he considerately said that they didn't need to go to the airport in the morning.

Shen Congyu shook her head and said it was okay, and waited secretly for Jiang Xilin.

An aunt came to our house to cook today. They were almost ready by then, so they sat down in the living room and chatted for a while.

Jiang Xilin had some work to deal with temporarily, so he left Chen Congyu to entertain Teacher Zhang and his wife downstairs. Fortunately, Chen Congyu had met Teacher Zhang before in Haicheng, and knew a little about Teacher Zhang's help to Jiang Xilin, so the atmosphere was not awkward.

Teacher Zhang couldn't help but sigh, "Xilin is really hardworking. I knew he would have a good life in the future, but I never expected him to be so capable. All the hard work he's endured in the past has paid off."

This was also what Shen Congyu had thought before. She didn't expect Jiang Xilin to go this far. Otherwise, she would never force him to divorce and make him hate her.

Chen Congyu felt sad. She knew best what it meant to make one wrong move lead to another.

After Jiang Xilin finished his work and came downstairs, he saw Chen Congyu taking care of the couple like a host.

It would be more like that than going to see Teacher Zhang after marrying him.

Chen Congyu saw him out of the corner of his eye, breathed a sigh of relief, and called him over quickly.

Before going to dinner, Chen Congyu received a call from Zhou Yuye. She subconsciously went to see Jiang Xilin, and then casually said to go to a deserted place to answer the call.

Shen Congyu was surprised that Zhou Yu would take the initiative to look for her, and her voice was filled with interest.

Zhou Yu also asked her if she was at home, and he asked someone to send her some seafood prepared by his family.

Although he didn't say clearly why he sent her something, Chen Congyu probably knew it was because of the horse farm.

"Thank you, but I'm not at home, so don't bother."

Zhou Yu also said: "It's already packed. If you're not at home, I'll have someone leave it at the gate. You can pick it up later. It won't go bad."

Chen Congyu didn't hesitate any longer, "Okay, thank you then."

"Don't be so polite. You should say hello when you meet next time. We are not strangers now."

"Well, I understand. With what you said, Mr. Zhou, of course I gladly accept it."

As he spoke, Shen Congyu subconsciously looked behind him, but his back bumped into someone.

Jiang Xilin had stood quietly behind her at some point, staring at her leisurely.

Chen Congyu's heartbeat quickened, and she clutched her phone tightly, recalling that she hadn't said anything suspicious just now. She exchanged glances with Jiang Xilin, and heard Zhou Yu say a final word on the phone before ending the call.

She put away her phone and spoke first: "Why are you silent? You scared me."

Jiang Xilin crossed his arms and asked, "Are you talking to Zhou Yu again?"

"What do you mean 'again'? This is the first time."

"What did you tell me last time at the horse farm?"

Chen Congyu: "I remember, I didn't do anything, can't I make friends?"

Her expression betrayed dissatisfaction. "Do I have to report to you about who I know and who I make friends with? Even though we're in this kind of relationship, you don't have to restrict me, right?"

Jiang Xilin only smiled faintly and asked, "Just making friends?"

Chen Congyu sometimes hated that he knew her so well, as if she had no little thoughts in front of him, and he could see through her heart at once and knew the truth in her words.

She was forced to deny it.

"Of course! Don't always make me act like I'm a playboy. Do you think I'll fall in love with every girl I meet?"

Jiang Xilin saw through her mind calmly, "I don't know whether she loves me or not, but it's true that it's profitable."

Chen Congyu's heart skipped a beat. She took a step forward and hugged his waist. "I'm after others, but not as much as you."

She looked up, her eyes bright, and expressed her sincerity to him, "If you keep doing this, there are some things I don't want to say anymore. I'm a normal person. I work in society and I always come into contact with the opposite sex. I won't have anything with others around you. It's not that I can't even get this little trust, right?"

"Trust is something you have to earn yourself." Jiang Xilin touched her cheek, his eyes narrowed slightly, "You want me to trust you, but what if you let me down?"

At a certain moment when they looked at each other, Chen Congyu seemed to be burned by his gaze.

She instinctively wanted to look away, but she forced herself to hold back.

His arms tightened, her body almost pressed against his chest. She said softly, "No, no matter what, I'm only with you. I don't need to cause myself any trouble. Just trust me from now on, okay?"

There was such sincerity in her eyes, without a trace of impurities, that it would be wrong for anyone to doubt her even a little bit.

Jiang Xilin looked at her deeply, and finally said: "Since you said so, it's not impossible to give you a chance."
