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 234 Speculation

Yan Zhao's words frightened Zhou Zhou so much that he almost choked. He quickly pulled out a few pieces of paper and wiped the corners of his mouth. "No, what do you think? Of course not me!"

Yan Zhao actually didn't think it was him, but he kept asking these questions, which made him have this idea in an instant.

Zhou Zhou quickly refused. Yan Zhao said, "I saw you were so concerned. I thought you were in love with her."

“You’re going to scare me to death, I’m just curious, what would Brother Jiang’s reaction be if Chen Congyu found someone else.”

"Who is it?"

Zhou Zhou remained tight-lipped for the time being. "No one, but there has to be this possibility."

Yan Zhao didn't bother to argue with him about who the other person was. He already had a plan in mind and said to Zhou Zhou, "If I was still somewhat sure that Xilin would not want her in the future before, I might not be sure now."

His answer made Zhou Zhou fall into deeper silence.

He sighed silently. If it wasn't related to his uncle, he wouldn't be so embarrassed.

"You mean to say that Brother Jiang still has feelings for Shen Congyu?"

Yan Zhao has now seen through some of the content, so he can say this.

"If you don't have feelings for me, why keep me around for so long? Can you do that to someone you hate?"

Yes, if you put yourself in their shoes, you will find that without any feelings, how could there be hatred that lasts for such a long time.

Perhaps it cannot be described so simply with one word. Those emotions are inherently complex and destined to be entangled.

After separating from Zhou Zhou, Yan Zhao prepared to look for Jiang Xilin.

He was unlike Zhou Zhou, who, despite appearing careless, was actually quite thoughtful and would put a lot of thought into things like this. He preferred to speak directly, especially since Zhou Zhou was so adamant he wouldn't say it.

He had no choice but to ask himself.

Yan Zhao told Jiang Xilin directly about Zhou Zhou's doubts, and his focus was on the person that Zhou Zhou was unwilling to talk about.

However, after Jiang Xilin heard his description, a figure immediately appeared in front of him.

Zhou Zhou refused to say anything, which made Jiang Xilin even more certain.

It seems that Yan Zhao is not aware of this.

If he knew, his reaction would probably be even greater than Zhou Zhou's.

However, Jiang Xilin still said: "I have already talked it over with Chen Congyu, and we are in a normal relationship now."

"Really? Then Chen Congyu can have a boyfriend casually?"

Yan Zhao asked, actually looking at Jiang Xilin's reaction.

Jiang Xilin flipped through the documents in his hand, his expression unchanged. "If she wants to, I can still stop her."

"Whether or not you can stop it is one thing, whether or not you want to stop it is another."

"These are just Zhou Zhou's guesses. Why think so much?"

Yan Zhao shrugged. Not answering is sometimes also a kind of answer.

He didn't intend to say it, and Yan Zhao didn't ask.

Chen Congyu had no idea that Zhou Zhou was the first to realize something behind her back. She just felt that although her life now and before had not changed much, she felt much more relaxed in her heart.

Occasionally she went out with Xue Mingrui and Zhou Ning, and sometimes Zhou Ning would ask Zhou Yu to send her off or pick her up, and Zhou Yu would meet Shen Congyu.

Sometimes they would go out in a group, and if there were fewer people, Zhou Ning would ask Zhou Yu to come along. When Zhou Yu was there, Chen Congyu would not drive another car, so Zhou Yu would also take her home.

It was a little late, and the neighborhood was very quiet when Chen Congyu got off the car. She stood by the car and talked to the people in it, and didn't notice that someone was actually staring at her not far away.

This is not the first or second time.

In Jiang Xilin's opinion, Shen Congyu was in much better condition after ending her relationship with him, and she seemed to have a good attitude towards everyone.

This is very similar to her previous life, when she had many friends and had very good relationships with them, and people were willing to be friends with her.

There were both men and women around her, but the reason why Jiang Xilin was staring at her was because the other person was Zhou Yuye.

Even Zhou Zhou noticed something and asked Yan Zhao with a heavy heart.

That means it's not just groundless talk.

Jiang Xilin sat in the dim car, watching Shen Congyu finish talking to the people in the car, then smiled and waved, and then turned and went into the building.

He didn't react much, just sat in the car for a long time.

A few days later, Zhou Zhou met Jiang Xilin and did not want to mention Shen Congyu to Jiang Xilin, but during the interval, Jiang Xilin suddenly said to him: "If your uncle meets Shen Congyu again in the future, tell me."

Zhou Zhou was stunned, not knowing how he knew this.

He wanted to struggle a little more, "Brother Jiang, what does this mean?"

"I know everything. What are you thinking?"

Zhou Zhou was silent for a while, feeling somewhat guilty. "Did Brother Yan Zhao tell you? I didn't tell him I was his uncle. Do you know something?"

Jiang Xilin: "He doesn't know who you are referring to, but I can guess."

Zhou Zhou didn't want to see this situation the most, so he explained, "Actually, I haven't seen any concrete evidence. I'm just thinking about it."

He didn't tell Jiang Xilin directly, but Jiang Xilin understood, so Jiang Xilin didn't ask him to do anything directly.

"Since you've sensed it, it's not just hearsay. You just need to help me keep an eye on this matter."

Zhou Zhou sighed.

He knew very well that even if his uncle didn't tell Shen Congyu directly, it didn't mean that his guess was wrong.

But what he always cared about was that he didn't want to affect the relationship between Jiang Xilin and his uncle.

"Brother Jiang, if my uncle is serious and they really want to be together, I can't do anything to let him down. Can you understand me?"

Jiang Xilin put his hand on his shoulder, "I understand, I won't blame you."

Then he changed the subject, "But no matter what, I won't let Chen Congyu be with another man. If you help me now, you are also helping your uncle."

His answer reminded Zhou Zhou of what Yan Zhao had said to him, that he still had feelings for Shen Congyu.

So this was the first time Zhou Zhou asked Jiang Xilin directly: "Brother Jiang, do you still like Chen Congyu?"

Jiang Xilin looked at the cup in his hand. The answer to this question didn't seem difficult to answer, but he had been avoiding thinking about it.

In fact, he knew very well that he hated her only because she had abandoned him and married another man abroad.

As it turned out, there were reasons for both things, and neither of them was her own will.

Until now, he has been unable to clearly say that he only has hatred towards Shen Congyu.

Jiang Xilin couldn't force Shen Congyu to tell him where she was going and who she was meeting, so he could only ask Zhou Zhou to get information from Zhou Yuye.

It is not difficult to find out when they meet.

Zhou Zhou told Jiang Xilin, and Jiang Xilin asked Zhou Zhou to get Zhou Yu to agree for the two of them to go together.

Zhou Yu was also a very easy-going person, and he didn't seem to have any reason to refuse, but he still asked for Shen Congyu's opinion.

Jiang Xilin was quiet for a long time in front of Shen Congyu, but since Zhou Zhou and Zhou Yu had also said this, she felt that she had no reason not to let Zhou Zhou go, so she agreed.
