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 153 The due retribution

Chapter 153 The due retribution

Chen Congyu prepared the ingredients the next day and started cooking as soon as she got home from get off work. Wen Song came quickly, but Xue Mingrui didn't come because he had something to do at home.

Wen Song can't cook, let alone prepare seafood. She helps Shen Congyu in the kitchen and chats about gossip.

Wen Song noticed that there were a lot fewer things in Chen Congyu's living room. She didn't notice it at first, but only discovered it after a closer look.

"Have you cleaned up the house? It feels like so many things are gone."

Chen Congyu's hands froze for a moment, and he said, "I see my room is small, and it's a bit crowded with too many things, so I put some of them away."

"I really envy your mentality. You can actually live in such a simple house for so long," Wen Song said unhappily, "I asked you to live with me, but you refused."

Chen Congyu turned on the fire and started steaming seafood, then wiped the water stains on her hands and turned to talk to Wen Song: "Didn't you say you were recently choosing an engagement date with Dr. Meng? It's not convenient for me to stay at your place. By the way, how is the date going?"

When talking about this, Wen Song was no longer as casual as before, but became visibly irritated.

"Don't mention it. We were just starting to choose a date for the engagement, and that bastard Gu Yueze heard about it from somewhere and forced Meng Xianyi and I to break up."

Chen Congyu was surprised, "He hasn't given up yet?"

Wen Song pinched the lettuce in his hand into pieces, as if he wanted to treat it as Gu Yueze.

"No, and it's getting more and more excessive."

Chen Congyu: “He won’t do anything, right?”

Wen Song: "What can he do? Can he come to the scene and kidnap me?"

She doesn't bother to worry about men who are too cunning.

Chen Congyu: "Actually, I see that Dr. Meng is so cold towards you, so your marriage is not a must."

"I've thought about it. I don't want to pretend to be a couple with Meng Xianyi, that would be too tiring, but I also don't want to listen to Gu Yueze's arrangements. But I also went to force Meng Xianyi. If he can't deal with the peach blossoms around him, I will cancel the engagement. Why bother dragging two people into this... both him and me."

The peach blossom that Wen Song mentioned about Meng Xianyi was primarily referring to Duan Zhen.

She was pursuing Meng Xianyi with much more effort than she had put in before to pursue Jiang Xilin. Shen Congyu had heard from Xue Mingrui that if it were any other man, Duan Zhen's attitude would have been taken down long ago.

Chen Congyu had no idea how far Dr. Meng had been conquered.

In short, she could see that Dr. Meng treated Wen Song the same way as he treated other people. In that case, it would be better to talk it over and part ways amicably before the wedding date was set.

Chen Congyu expressed his own thoughts, "Doctor Meng has been able to tolerate Duan Zhen by his side for so long, it doesn't make sense to say there are no special cases."

"I don't know. After I told Meng Xianyi about it, I never asked him how he handled it."

Having said that, Wen Song didn't want to be immersed in an irritable mood and ended the topic.

Shen Congyu started to prepare the sauce and prepare to eat.

The things in the house gradually decreased. She sold some of them on second-hand platforms, donated some of them, and almost all the non-essential items in the house were gone.

Apart from work and Jiang Xilin, she doesn't have much to do every day.

If Jiang Xilin didn't contact her, she would either stay at home or go out with Wen Song and Xue Mingrui during her rest time.

That day, Chen Congyu and Wen Song went to the hospital to find Meng Xianyi. Wen Song was entrusted by Mrs. Meng to deliver lunch to Meng Xianyi. When he arrived, he was still busy, so Chen Congyu and Wen Song waited outside.

It was lunchtime and there were no more people waiting for treatment. The waiting area outside was empty, so when Duan Zhen came, they saw each other at a glance.

Wen Song instantly became interested, "Hey, Miss Duan, has your health been too poor recently? Why do you go to the hospital every few days? You need to get treatment for your illness."

Duan Zhen glared at them and was about to speak back when she thought of something. She reluctantly said, her bag slung over her shoulder, "I have something to tell you, but not here. I'm afraid someone might overhear me. Let's go to the stairwell."

"OK."

Duan Zhen walked away first in her high heels.

Wen Song handed the insulated lunch box containing Meng Xianyi's lunch to Shen Congyu and asked her to wait here. "I'll come as soon as possible. You stay here and watch over Dr. Meng. Don't leave."

They entered the stairwell one after the other. Although Chen Congyu was worried that the two of them would be too irritable, Meng Xianyi was still there after all, so there shouldn't be too much conflict.

After a few minutes, Meng Xianyi came out and Chen Congyu stepped forward and handed him the lunch box.

Meng Xianyi took off the mask on his face. His face was three-dimensional and deep, but his eyes were too dull, making his face look like he was asexual.

"Where are the Wensong people?"

Chen Congyu pointed down the stairwell and said, "Duan Zhen came just now, and they went over there to talk."

Meng Xianyi frowned slightly and wanted to go over, but someone in their department called him, so he had to trouble Shen Congyu to ask Wen Song to come over.

Seeing that he had no intention of paying attention to Duan Zhen at all, Chen Congyu nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll go over and call Song Song."

"Thank you. You can just wait here for me."

Meng Xianyi went to find his colleague. In the morning, a patient came back to ask about the situation. He explained the situation to the colleague. After the patient left, his colleague saw the lunch box in his hand and jokingly asked him if his girlfriend came.

After several seconds, Meng Xianyi said, "Well, I went to find her."

He walked out of the room and did not see Wen Song and Shen Congyu, but he saw someone running hurriedly towards the stairwell not far away.

As I got closer, I heard Wen Song's voice saying that he wanted to call the police.

There were several people gathered at the stairwell door. Meng Xianyi caught the word "injured". He quickened his pace, pushed aside the people in front of him and saw Wen Song squatting on the ground. The person she was supporting was Chen Congyu, while Duan Zhen stood there with a panicked look on her face.

Meng Xianyi walked up to Wen Song and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wen Song pointed at Duan Zhen angrily, "She got so angry that she pushed Cong Yu down while we weren't paying attention, and she hit her head."

"I didn't mean to..."

"It wasn't intentional? Did you suddenly become blind and didn't see it?"

Wen Song was too angry and his words were full of sarcasm.

Chen Congyu leaned on her, closed his eyes, the dull pain in the back of his head had not subsided, and his face was pale and bloodless.

Meng Xianyi called his colleagues to help get a stretcher and told Shen Congyu not to move.

Wen Song, who was standing next to her, stared at Duan Zhen fiercely like an eagle protecting its cub, fearing that she would run away in the chaos.

Meng Xianyi said, "Okay, go get checked first and stop arguing."

Wen Song: "I want to call the police."

"Just...report it!"

Ever since Duan Zhen discovered the relationship between Chen Congyu and Jiang Xilin, Duan Ke repeatedly told her not to show it, so she didn't spread it around.

But when she saw Chen Congyu, her attitude was even worse than before. She accidentally pushed Chen Congyu down just now. She panicked for a moment, and then felt that it was the retribution Chen Congyu deserved.

Besides, Duan Zhen didn’t think her condition was serious, so there was no point in calling the police.

Chen Congyu was lying on a stretcher and sent for examination. Wen Song pulled her and wouldn't let her go. She was calm and collected, "I won't leave. I can just make a phone call!"

The call was made to Duan Ke, but unfortunately, Duan Ke was not in Haicheng.

Duan Ke scolded her for being such an adult and not using her brain to do things, but after scolding her, she still had to find a way to help Duan Zhen.

"I'll ask Xilin to help me deal with it."
