Chapter 232 Today is Different from the Past

Jiang Xilin and Shen Congyu stayed in Xingcheng for another night. Xi Wen bought the flight back to Haicheng the next day, and they sat in the same seat.

Although he ran back and forth between the two places these two days, he basically did nothing, so Chen Congyu was considered to be resting.

So she went to bed early last night and woke up early in the morning. On the way back to Haicheng, she fell asleep out of boredom.

She was wearing no makeup today, and her clothes were mostly comfortable. She looked very casual. When she closed her eyes to sleep, Jiang Xilin could even count her eyelashes.

Chen Congyu slept soundly, and had no idea how long Jiang Xilin had been looking at her.

If she doesn't speak and you only look at her appearance, you will definitely think that she is a very gentle person who is easy to get along with.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xilin in front of her knew her best.

However, they both thought they understood each other, and now Jiang Xilin's mind has also changed.

He thought that someone who only cared about her own happiness would not keep something in her heart for so long, and perhaps his opinion of her was no longer accurate.

After getting off the plane, Jiang Xilin asked Xi Wen to take Chen Congyu back first. When she arrived downstairs of Chen Congyu's residence, she got out of the car to get something from the trunk and heard Yuan Qi calling her not far away.

"Sister? Is it really you? Where have you been these past two days?"

Yuan Qi happened to meet her here. Although his confession was rejected last time, it did not affect his enthusiasm towards Shen Congyu. He walked up to her while talking.

Chen Congyu: "I have something to do. I won't be in Haicheng these two days. What's the matter? You have something to talk to me about."

"It's nothing, I just wanted to see you when I have time."

He was about to help Shen Congyu take out the suitcase when Xi Wen got down from the driver's seat to help Shen Congyu.

Yuan Qi saw Xi Wen and didn't recognize him, but he was very perceptive and realized that Xi Wen would not go upstairs with Shen Congyu, so he took the initiative to help Shen Congyu push the suitcase.

"Sister, let's go."

Just as Shen Congyu caught up with her bag, the window at the back of the car rolled down, revealing Jiang Xilin's face.

"You forgot something."

He handed out a lipstick.

It should have fallen out of Chen Congyu's bag.

As soon as he spoke, Yuan Qi looked back and found that there was another person in the car, and that person was Jiang Xilin.

Yuan Qi now has deep-seated hostility towards Jiang Xilin. He doesn't show it, but he is silently sounding the alarm in his heart.

Chen Congyu went over and took her lipstick, thought about it and said, "Thank you."

Jiang Xilin nodded, but his eyes missed her for a moment and looked at Yuan Qi behind her.

There was a brief eye contact between the two men.

It was so short that Shen Congyu didn't have time to notice anything.

She turned around and prepared to continue going upstairs, and Yuan Qi followed her.

Only after their figures disappeared into the elevator did Jiang Xilin let Xiwen drive away.

Shen Congyu and Yuan Qi were the only ones left in the elevator. Yuan Qi was tangled up but couldn't help but ask, "Sister, did you and Brother Jiang go out to play?"

"It's not about going out to play, it's about doing something."

Yuan Qi was a little discouraged and said, "Oh," "You two have such a good relationship."

Chen Congyu said: "We are just an ordinary relationship now."

But Yuan Qi couldn't convince himself to treat Jiang Xilin as an ordinary person.

After all, he has been rejected by Shen Congyu, and he feels that he has no advantage with Shen Congyu now, so he has to be more careful.

Before opening the door, Chen Congyu said to him, "I won't be home for the next two days, and I still need to clean up the house. Are you ready to have dinner with me tonight?"

If he hadn't seen Jiang Xilin today, Yuan Qi would still be in the mood to stay for dinner. But now that Chen Congyu said she wanted to clean up the house, he seemed to have even less reason to stay.

"No, you've worked so hard, I won't bother you to cook." Yuan Qi still cared about Chen Congyu, "How about I ask an aunt to help you clean up, and then we can go out to eat?"

Shen Congyu declined, "I want to rest early at night and don't want to go out."

Yuan Qi: "Okay then, I won't bother you anymore."

He left somewhat dejectedly. Chen Congyu really didn't want to see him like this. After all, he was usually so energetic. However, she had to know her limits and could only let him leave.

…

When Shen Congyu went to work, he knew that Jiang Xilin's affairs had spread everywhere. They worked in the media and collected the latest news as quickly as possible.

Two surnames that have nothing to do with each other, after so many years, turned out to be one family.

Jiang Xilin already has a great reputation in Haicheng, and now with the title of Jiang family member, his value and reputation have increased even more.

Chen Congyu listened to the discussion of the people around him and felt that it was a far-sighted decision for him to make it clear to Jiang Xilin in advance.

Otherwise, with Jiang Xilin's current level of attention, if she continues to be entangled in those shady relationships with him, it will sooner or later become a risk point.

This made Shen Congyu even more determined not to return to his previous state.

She took advantage of her lunch break to send a message to Jiang Xilin to congratulate him.

He said that many people now know his new identity and he has received more attention.

In fact, Chen Congyu wanted to remind Jiang Xilin that things are different now.

Jiang Xilin must be busy and didn't reply.

Xue Mingrui and Wen Song, on the other hand, were very curious and excited about the news. They knew that Chen Congyu and Jiang Xilin had returned to the Jiang family, so they started asking Chen Congyu for details whenever they had time.

Chen Congyu took the time to tell them that in fact, the Jiang family felt a little depressing, after all, it was a big family that they had never come into contact with, but there was nothing specific, except for Jiang Jingxun.

Chen Congyu described in detail how Jiang Xilin had embarrassed Jiang Jingxun.

Wen Song's words were quite venomous, commenting on Jiang Jingxun, "There's really no need to be too nervous. The appearance of such a fool in this family suddenly makes them feel very down-to-earth."

Xue Mingrui laughed heartily and then said, "I wish I were there. I can't imagine how cool it would be."

Chen Congyu also felt a little happy. After all, Jiang Jingxun had caused her to break a rib and spoke to her in such a sarcastic tone. Jiang Xilin must have been preparing to settle the score with him in secret.

While chatting in the three-person group, Zhou Yu also asked Chen Congyu if she was free tonight.

Remembering that he had promised to have dinner with Zhou Ning, Shen Congyu went over to chat and said that he was free, but he would not be able to get off work until half an hour later.

Zhou Yu also expressed his understanding. For a position like Chen Congyu's, it is not a traditional job where you can just go to get off work and rest normally. If there is an emergency, you have to be ready to work anytime and anywhere.

Zhou Yu finally made an appointment with Chen Congyu and said he would pick her up at the door of the radio station.

Almost every time he met him, he would pick him up and drop him off at the destination, but since Chen Congyu was driving today, he didn't ask him to pick him up.

She rushed over after working overtime and caught the evening rush hour, so she was late. Zhou Yu and Zhou Ning had already arrived.

Seeing her rushing over, Zhou Yu said considerately, "Didn't I tell you not to rush? It's just that we're a little early."

Chen Congyu: "This is not the first time we meet, but I can't damage my image."

Zhou Ning beside him quickly said, "No, no, I completely understand. Thank you for taking the time to have dinner with us."
