Chapter 227 When I was in college

The day before the Jiang family’s old man’s birthday party, Jiang Xilin took a flight from Haicheng to Xingcheng.

He was waiting at the airport for the time to come. The person accompanying him today was not Yuan An, but Xi Wen.

Xi Wen knew that Shen Congyu had a copy of the invitation letter sent by the Jiang family, but now only Jiang Xilin was there, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After all, he was not sure what the Jiang family was planning. At this time, he didn't want those people to catch any evidence against Jiang Xilin.

“Brother Jiang, isn’t Miss Shen coming?”

Jiang Xilin thought about the day he went to Shen Congyu's house to deliver the invitation letter, and her reaction didn't mean anything.

Besides, he had already said that day that since Chen Congyu wanted to end the current relationship, then it would be as she wished, and he did not break his promise so quickly.

So whether Chen Congyu will come or not, according to Jiang Xilin's own judgment, she probably won't want to get involved in this mess.

Jiang Xilin said: "If she doesn't come, can I still tie her up and bring her here?"

Xi Wen couldn't see through them, and he didn't have the status to say more.

But to their surprise, Shen Congyu showed up before boarding the plane.

She came over hurriedly with a small suitcase and finally stopped in front of them.

"Fortunately, we made it."

Jiang Xilin asked her: "Why did you come anyway? Didn't you say last time that it had nothing to do with you?"

Chen Congyu straightened his clothes and said, "I thought since they mentioned me specifically, what if I don't go and offend them? Anyway, I have nothing to do these two days. Don't you want me to go again?"

"Whatever you want."

Of course, it was impossible for Chen Congyu to go back at this time, as she had already bought the plane ticket.

I was on the same flight as Jiang Xilin and got on the plane quickly.

Chen Congyu had never been to Xingcheng. She thought that if she was dispensable to the Jiang family, she would just go there for a trip.

Her position is quite far away from Jiang Xilin's, which is good because she doesn't have to face Jiang Xilin.

The main reason was that now they were back to being two people with no relationship, and she didn't know how to get along with him naturally for a moment.

A change in a relationship, whether good or bad, requires a transition.

What's more, Shen Congyu really doubted whether Jiang Xilin could really say what he said.

The climate in Xingcheng is hotter and humid than that in Haicheng. Although the birthday party is tomorrow, Jiang Xilin did not stay at the Jiang family.

Shen Congyu had already booked a hotel, but Jiang Xilin said he wanted to go with her.

"Aren't you going back home to live?"

Jiang Xilin: "No reply."

There was a car arranged for him, but he didn't let the Jiang family's driver drive it, but gave it to Xi Wen.

Xi Wen put their two suitcases in the trunk, and Jiang Xilin asked Shen Congyu to get in the car.

"If we go back now, who knows what will happen tonight."

Jiang Xilin was too lazy to deal with so much and decided to wait until tomorrow. After all, it was the old man’s birthday party, and if anyone wanted to cause trouble for him, they would have to consider the occasion.

There's no need to go back today.

Arriving at the hotel, Xi Wen went to check in a room. The hotel also upgraded Chen Congyu's room to the same floor as Jiang Xilin's.

Xi Wen still had some things to take care of, so Jiang Xilin told him to go ahead and not take the luggage upstairs. This way, he and Shen Congyu were the only ones in the elevator.

Shen Congyu thought about it and expressed his concerns: "I should be with you tomorrow, right?"

Jiang Xilin turned his gaze to her, "I thought you couldn't wait to distance yourself from me."

"But the situation is different now. I'm completely unfamiliar with this place, and I was invited here because of you. In their eyes, we must be together. Why would I go here alone?"

If Jiang Xilin hadn't been there, she definitely wouldn't have come.

Jiang Xilin didn't say that he wouldn't let her go with him. He just asked, "When we get there tomorrow, if people ask about us, what are you going to say?"

Chen Congyu didn't hesitate much, "A divorced couple."

"No more?"

Chen Congyu looked at him and said, "Even if they are divorced, it doesn't mean they won't keep in touch. They should understand and don't need too much explanation."

Jiang Xilin listened to what she said quietly, and when the elevator stopped, he smiled at him inexplicably.

Shen Congyu didn't react to the specific meaning of that smile for a while.

She pulled her suitcase out, followed Jiang Xilin, and brought up what they had talked about last time.

"You don't regret what you said at my house that day, do you?"

Jiang Xilin stopped, then turned around and said to her: "You told me everything. If I bully you again, wouldn't it be my fault?"

Shen Congyu felt that there was something behind his words.

In short, it’s not as simple as it sounds.

She opened her mouth and said, "I just want to get back to some normalcy."

Jiang Xilin nodded, "Okay, didn't I already promise you?"

Shen Congyu looked at him quietly for several seconds, then walked past him with the suitcase and went straight to the door of her room to swipe the card and enter.

It was still a little early, so she wondered if she should go out for a walk later.

The weather here is very hot and humid, and she was a little sweaty. She took a shower and changed into a cool skirt before going out.

When I opened the door, Jiang Xilin was standing in the corridor.

Seeing her outfit, Jiang Xilin asked, "Are you going out?"

"I have nothing to do now. I want to go out for a walk."

Jiang Xilin: "Let's go, together."

Chen Congyu asked him, "Don't you have anything to do? I thought you should have made preparations in advance by that time tomorrow."

"What needs to be done has been done. We can't wait until now to prepare."

Jiang Xilin was not very familiar with this place. Apart from business trips here in the past, he had only been to the Jiang family for the past one or two months.

Chen Congyu thought about it and felt that it was normal for him to want to go out for a walk, but it seemed a bit awkward for the two of them to go out in such harmony.

She planned to go eat something first.

There is a university town behind the hotel. It was evening and there were groups of students walking together. The streets were quiet and the shops on the street gave off a familiar feeling, as if I was back in college.

Especially at this moment, the person next to him is Jiang Xilin.

She avoided thinking like that.

Chen Congyu is not picky about food now, and the food in the restaurants near the university town should taste good, otherwise they would not be open for long.

So she was quite interested in some local dishes in Star City, but she didn't know what Jiang Xilin meant.

Before making a decision, Chen Congyu still asked him: "I'm going to eat that, where are you going?"

Jiang Xilin looked at the restaurant she chose. It looked very clean and full of life. The food should be good.

He said, "Let's go."

There was still some time before we arrived at the restaurant, so there were not many people in the restaurant, and some of them were college students.

The two of them entered the restaurant, and the waiter came forward to greet them, "Hello, you two, are you here together?"

Shen Congyu was slightly stunned, not knowing how she ended up having dinner with Jiang Xilin.

Jiang Xilin has already confirmed with the other party where he wants to sit.

It was by the window on the second floor. The window was bright and I could just see the sycamore trees on the roadside outside.

Shen Congyu and Jiang Xilin sat down face to face.
