Chapter 16 Not Interested

Chen Congyu was already sitting in Qi Ming's car at the time. If she had known that it was Duan Zhen's birthday, she would never have agreed to Qi Ming's request.

I finally don't have to see Jiang Xilin, but this time I have to meet him at his girlfriend's birthday party. That's so uncomfortable.

"Are you familiar with Miss Duan?"

Qi Ming asked: "We are friends, what's wrong? Don't you want to see him?"

Chen Congyu: “I’m not familiar with it, so I don’t think it’s suitable for me.”

"Duan Zhen has a bad temper, but if you don't provoke her, she won't notice you."

That's the truth.

But Qi Ming didn't know that Duan Zhen seemed to have some vague hostility towards her because of Jiang Xilin.

Chen Congyu pinched his eyebrows and said, "If there is nothing else, I still hope to leave early."

Qi Ming was quite easy to talk to when he was free. He nodded and said, "Okay."

Chen Congyu has been thinking that she will definitely meet Jiang Xilin later, so she unconsciously frowned and frowned slightly.

Qi Ming noticed it, thought for two seconds, and said nothing.

At this moment, Duan Zhen dodged others and stopped Jiang Xilin, her carefully dressed face full of displeasure.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you? You knew I'd been eyeing that necklace for a long time, intending it as a birthday gift, yet you actually snatched it away at a high price!"

Duan Zhen was very angry. It was the first time she spoke to Jiang Xilin in such an attitude.

In fact, when she first heard that the necklace was bought by Jiang Xilin, she thought that Jiang Xilin must have known that she liked it, so he bought it and gave it to her on her birthday.

She was waiting with all her heart and even told her friends that she was looking forward to receiving the gift today.

Just now, Jiang Xilin handed her the gift, and she was very happy. But then—

When I opened it, I found a plain watch inside.

Although it was worth a lot of money, she didn't have any valuable things, so why would she need this watch? Moreover, Jiang Xilin stole her necklace and didn't even give it to her!

Jiang Xilin didn't care about her anger and said lightly, "What do you mean by robbing? I can buy it if I want. Do I need to report it to you?"

That's true, but Duan Zhen just doesn't understand. "Why do you want that necklace? Is it... for my sister?"

"I don't want you to worry about it."

Jiang Xilin was about to leave when Duan Zhen insisted, "In that case, I don't want the broken watch you gave me!"

Duan Zhen threw the box containing the watch towards Jiang Xilin, intending to throw it to him, but unexpectedly, she missed and it fell to the ground.

On the smooth marble floor, the watch fell out of the box, making a crisp sound.

Jiang Xilin stared at her expressionlessly.

Duan Zhen regretted her action a little and stepped back a little, but remained stubborn and didn't say anything.

At this time, someone walked over in high heels, saw the scene in front of them, and asked, "Are you arguing?"

Duan Zhen shouted, "Sister...I don't want the things he gave me."

Duan Ke picked up the watch and said, "If you don't want it, then don't want it. Why are you throwing things? What will it look like if you leave your friends here arguing?"

After giving Duan Zhen a way out, she glanced at Jiang Xilin's face, not daring to provoke him, and left reluctantly.

Only Jiang Xilin and Duan Ke were left. They walked forward a few steps and came to a secluded balcony.

"Zhenzhen has been spoiled by my parents, but she's just a little bit of a temper. Don't take it personally," Duan Ke handed the watch to Jiang Xilin. "The dial seems to be broken. Do you still want it?"

Jiang Xilin reached out to take it and put it in his pocket.

Duan Ke probably knew the reason why Duan Zhen and Jiang Xilin were angry. She looked at Jiang Xilin's cold profile and asked casually, "Actually, I also thought you took the picture of the necklace to give to Zhenzhen."

"no."

Duan Ke waited, but there was no further news.

She touched her hair and smiled, "As for Zhenzhen, I will talk to her in a good way."

She changed the subject, "Look at her. If she knew we had broken up a long time ago, she would probably pester you."

Jiang Xilin looked downstairs with a calm expression, "Then don't let her know."

Duan Ke said thank you.

The news that the two of them are still dating is beneficial to the Duan family, so Duan Ke wants to thank him.

She looked at him and asked, "But if this happens, will it affect your chances of getting a girlfriend?"

“No, it won’t affect you.”

Duan Ke: "We can talk about it now. I can cooperate with you."

Jiang Xilin paused and said, "Not interested."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a familiar figure from the entrance garden downstairs.

Shen Congyu.

And Qi Ming beside her.

Chen Congyu looked like she had dressed up specially. She walked beside Qi Ming, and the two of them occasionally spoke to each other, looking very harmonious.

harmonious?

Jiang Xilin curled the corners of his mouth coldly.

Perhaps he had been looking downstairs for too long, Duan Ke noticed it and looked over too.

She knew Qi Ming, but she didn't know the woman next to her.

Considering Qi Ming's style, Duan Ke asked, "Who is that? Qi Ming's new girlfriend?"

Jiang Xilin didn't say anything, took out his cell phone and said, "I'll go call back."

He went out from the balcony.

Duan Ke looked at his back until he could no longer see him.

Downstairs, Qi Ming and the others greeted each other, followed Shen Congyu's footsteps, and approached her and said, "You should at least get closer to me. After all, you are my female companion. It seems like I forced you to come here."

Ever since Chen Congyu found out what his 'hobbies' were, she unconsciously kept her distance from him.

Hearing him say that, she controlled herself and didn't dodge, "I know."

"That's right, I'm not a bad person. But the same can't be said for the others here. If you don't follow me closely, you might be targeted later..."

Qi Ming kept chattering in his ears, but Shen Congyu's mind was always hanging, afraid that he would meet someone he shouldn't meet here.

What you fear will come true. As soon as she looked around, she saw Jiang Xilin appear in her sight.

She subconsciously wanted to turn around, but Qi Ming was quicker, grabbing her arm and pulling her to greet Jiang Xilin, "Mr. Jiang."
