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 226 You Can Rest Assured
Yuan Qi was so open-minded that Chen Congyu was influenced and relaxed a lot.
She smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll take your words seriously. I don't want to lose a friend like you."
Yuan Qi's state gradually changed from tense to relaxed.
From the expressions and handwriting when they were talking, one can roughly see the changes in their emotions.
Zhou Zhou, who was watching the excitement in the car not far away, saw it all.
He held up his cell phone and started recording the video from the moment Yuan Qi stopped. Up to now, it seemed that the scene he imagined did not appear.
Zhou Zhou turned off the recording and when he turned around he was startled by another figure appearing in the car.
He covered his chest and gasped: "Uncle, when did you get on the car?"
"Ten minutes ago?" Zhou Yu also found his reaction amusing. "Were you watching so intently that you didn't even notice me getting on the bus?"
That's true.
Zhou Zhou touched the back of his head. "Oh, right, did you also see Yuan Qi? He must have been rejected, right?"
"That should be it."
"But they were both too calm. It wasn't the kind of scene I wanted to see at all."
Zhou Yu also laughed, "What do you want to see? Is he being beaten or beating someone else?"
Zhou Zhou put down his phone, feeling bored.
Then he suddenly remembered and asked, "Uncle, didn't you say you couldn't come? Why are you here again?"
"I'm free now, and I heard you were here, so I came to see you."
Zhou Zhou rolled his eyes and said, "I thought you also cared about whether Chen Congyu would agree to Yuan Qi."
Zhou Yu also said: "I really want to know. Although I can probably guess the result."
But knowing Zhou Zhou was here, he still came over.
Zhou Zhou was surprised by his answer, as he sensed something unusual.
"Why do you want to know? Is it out of curiosity?" Zhou Zhou boldly asked the second half of the question, "Or do you not want Chen Congyu to agree to Yuan Qi?"
Zhou Yu immediately understood what he meant.
Zhou Yu also said: "It's not that I don't want Chen Congyu to agree, but Yuan Qi is not suitable for her."
"What if Chen Congyu really agrees?"
"They will break up sooner or later."
Zhou Zhou suddenly felt a little cold.
He suddenly realized that his mature, steady and easy-going uncle might have some subtle evil intentions.
Zhou Zhou thought about it and secretly glanced at Zhou Yu.
However, Zhou Yu did not let him see anything. There would be no further news from Chen Congyu. He started the car and said, "Let's go back."
…
Near the end of the month, when Shen Congyu was taking a day off, Jiang Xilin came to visit.
This was the first time they had met since talking to Jiang Xilin by the river that day.
Shen Congyu opened the door, and Jiang Xilin said, "Can't you let me in?"
Shen Congyu hesitated and made way.
Jiang Xilin sat down on the sofa, Shen Congyu brought him a bottle of mineral water and asked, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Xilin took out an invitation and placed it on the coffee table in front of her.
He didn't introduce it, so Shen Congyu picked it up and looked at it suspiciously.
It turned out to be an invitation from the Jiang family, inviting her to attend Mr. Jiang’s birthday party next month.
Her name, Chen Congyu, was clearly written on it.
Chen Congyu was puzzled, "Why would you let me go?"
Logically speaking, apart from her current shady relationship with Jiang Xilin, the Jiang family would definitely not notice her.
Jiang Xilin: "Because your identity is special."
Chen Congyu:?
"They knew we were married."
Chen Congyu: "Have you told them?"
Jiang Xilin shook his head. "If they take me back to the Jiang family, they will naturally check all my information. Of course, they won't leave out such a big event as our marriage."
"But we divorced a long time ago, why do you still want to see me?"
"But you are still by my side now, and you were injured last time to protect me."
Chen Congyu explained: "That's because I happened to be the one picking you up that day..."
Jiang Xilin: "Anyway, they think you have a close relationship with me now, and they even prepared the invitation letter specifically for you."
Yes, it’s her honor.
Shen Congyu held the invitation letter as if it were a hot potato.
It sounds like things are not simple within the Jiang family, especially since it is Mr. Jiang's birthday and he wants Jiang Xilin to come back.
"Do I have to go?"
Jiang Xilin half-closed his eyes and said, "You don't have to go."
Shen Congyu bit her lower lip.
She cast her gaze towards him, "Do you want me to go?"
Jiang Xilin raised his head slightly and looked at her.
Or: "Whatever you want. Didn't you say you didn't want to be forced by me?"
"oh."
Chen Congyu only gave this answer.
She didn't say she would go, nor did she say she wouldn't go.
Jiang Xilin drank two sips of water without saying a word, then asked, "I heard Yuan Qi confessed to you again?"
Chen Congyu was no longer surprised that he knew this.
His tone was much calmer this time, and if you didn't pay attention you would think he was just gossiping.
"yes."
Jiang Xilin: "You didn't agree."
He used affirmative sentences.
Chen Congyu: "Why are you asking me if you already know everything?"
"Why don't you agree?"
"I don't like it, why else can I do that?"
Jiang Xilin pressed on, "He's serious, young, comes from a good family, and cares deeply about you. How could you not like him?"
Chen Congyu didn't want to be chased by him and asked, so she deliberately said: "Then I'll go back and try with him."
She finished speaking, watching his reaction out of the corner of her eye.
Jiang Xilin was holding the mineral water bottle, and if you didn't look carefully, it would be easy to ignore the strength of his fingertips tightening.
"If you're worried that our relationship will affect your chances of finding a new boyfriend, you can rest assured."
This time Shen Congyu was stunned.
She asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Jiang Xilin looked her straight in the eye. "Didn't you say you didn't want to continue the same kind of relationship with me? I'll satisfy you."
"Are you...are you serious?"
"Need I say more bluntly?"
Shen Congyu unconsciously tensed his back. He didn't expect him to say these words so easily.
It seems that the words she confessed last time worked.
"If you say so, keep your word."
Jiang Xilin sneered faintly, "Yes, you can accept the pursuit of other men without worry."
Chen Congyu forced himself to remain calm from his joy.
To prevent Jiang Xilin from being displeased and regretting it.
"I'm not pursuing any other man." Chen Congyu said seriously: "I think Yuan Qi has a good personality and is a good person, but that doesn't mean I have to like him. I don't want to be so hasty, and I don't need to agree just for these reasons."
Jiang Xilin: "If you change the candidate, would you still think so?"
Chen Congyu took a deep breath and said, “I said, there is no one else.”
Communicating these things calmly like now still made Shen Congyu feel weird.
Of course she knew that she couldn't be too arrogant and had to take things step by step.
So she also said to speak nicely, "so now I can be sure."
