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 236 Go in and talk
Chen Congyu was still completely immersed in Jiang Xilin's words. She was surprised that he would say such a thing.
So much so that for a moment, she didn't know how to answer Jiang Xilin.
It was at this time that Zhou Yu also came out to find her.
Zhou Yu didn't know what they were talking about, so he interrupted the atmosphere between them and called out to them.
Jiang Xilin's back stiffened, but he turned around first.
Zhou Yu also walked over and asked, "What took you so long? What happened?"
Shen Congyu didn't want Jiang Xilin to say anything at this time, so she stepped forward and said first, "It's okay, go back."
She and Zhou Yu also walked back, and Jiang Xilin fell behind.
The meal was completed peacefully, and the arrangements for returning were the same as when we came.
But this time Zhou Yu also asked about things related to Jiang Xilin.
"He's here today too, is it because he has something to say to you?"
Chen Congyu was worried about Jiang Xilin's changes, and Zhou Yu asked her about it. She said, "He thinks there's something going on between you and me."
Zhou Yu also held the steering wheel, remained silent for two seconds, and looked at her sideways, "So how did you answer him?"
"I said we have nothing."
"If so, what would he do?"
In response to the hypothesis he raised, Shen Congyu answered seriously, “Then he should look at my attitude.”
Zhou Yu also followed up and asked, "Then what will you do?"
Speaking of this, Chen Congyu suddenly mentioned this issue, which seemed to be a bit over the line.
She calmed down and said, "If you ask me now, I don't know exactly what will happen."
This answer was consistent with Zhou Yu's understanding of Shen Congyu, so even though it was not of much use, he did not continue to press the issue.
He just asked seriously, "Does Xilin like you? Sorry, I should ask him this question, right?"
Chen Congyu couldn't help but look out the window. After digesting it for a while, she finally felt the reality of Jiang Xilin's words.
She had never taken the initiative to think about whether Jiang Xilin had any other feelings for her besides hatred, because thinking so would make her seem self-indulgent, but today Jiang Xilin said it out.
With the results, it seems to make sense if we push forward.
For so many years, she had only liked Jiang Xilin. Jiang Xilin was right in one thing he said. She didn't leave him voluntarily, so she didn't change her mind at all at that time.
The feelings are still there.
But because so many things happened in the days that followed, and so much time had passed, she gradually stopped considering those feelings so important.
What's more, after returning to Haicheng, she and Jiang Xilin had no chance to warm up their relationship.
In the car behind, Zhou Zhou finally had a chance to ask Jiang Xilin alone.
"Did you say anything when you went out with Chen Congyu? Did you tell her everything?"
Jiang Xilin mentioned that those expressions were not very good.
"Don't worry, I didn't sell you out."
Zhou Zhou said directly: "Next time this happens, I won't come. You don't know that being caught between you guys makes me not want to eat."
“After Shen Congyu and I went out, did you say anything to your uncle?”
"No, I just don't know what you two did when you went out." Zhou Zhou felt strange, "Brother Jiang, if you really did something, it's better not to tell me. If I know but can't tell my uncle, I will feel like I'm betraying him."
He had already done enough, so Jiang Xilin agreed readily.
Zhou Zhou, relieved, became curious, "So what did you say to Shen Congyu? Can you tell me?"
Jiang Xilin recalled Shen Congyu's reaction at the time, and he himself was not sure.
He rubbed his fingertips, thinking, "It's just that this time it's not enough."
…
September is the hottest time of the year in Haicheng. Chen Congyu's work gradually became busier, and he had less time to go out with other people.
After working overtime for two more days and even turning down Xue Mingrui's invitation, Chen Congyu took a nap and woke up because he was hungry.
She got up, washed, cleaned the house, and was about to order takeout when Xue Mingrui called her.
She answered the call, but Xue Mingrui's voice sounded a little mysterious.
"Sister Cong Yu, are you free? Do you want to come for dinner? Brother Jiang is here too."
Chen Congyu was already preparing to order takeout, so she said, "No, I won't go. You guys eat."
Xue Mingrui's next words seemed to explain why she spoke in a low voice.
"I just casually mentioned whether you wanted to come over. I felt that Brother Jiang wanted you to come."
Since they had dinner at the teahouse last time, since they hadn't met again, Shen Congyu naturally put the matter of Jiang Xilin behind her.
In addition, she didn't have time to think too much after she got busy, and now that Xue Mingrui mentioned Jiang Xilin, she was distracted.
But she didn't want to go, and Xue Mingrui didn't force her.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Congyu ordered takeout and found a movie he wanted to watch.
After she slowly finished her meal and watched a movie, it was already late. She had gone to bed late, and it was late at night, but she was not sleepy at all.
I just vaguely heard some movement at the door in the living room.
Living alone, Chen Congyu was used to being alert. She immediately listened carefully to the sounds outside the door. After a few seconds, there seemed to be something pressing on the door again.
She went over and looked out through the peephole, and seemed to see someone at the door. Why did she say "probably"? Because the figure seemed to be sitting on the ground.
Before she could figure out who it was, her cell phone rang. The caller was Jiang Xilin.
As the phone rang, the person at the door stood up holding the wall, and Shen Congyu finally saw clearly that the person outside the door was Jiang Xilin.
I don't understand why he came here at this time and what happened just now.
Chen Congyu opened the door directly, and the people outside slowly raised their eyes.
This allowed Shen Congyu to see his face clearly, he must have been drinking.
She held the door open and asked him, "What are you doing? Why are you here?"
"I came here, of course, to find you."
Chen Congyu smelled a faint smell of alcohol, which made her even more certain that his inexplicable behavior was due to drinking.
"Who sent you here?" The main thing was that there was someone waiting for him downstairs, so he could feel at ease.
Jiang Xilin didn't want to talk about these irrelevant things. He stopped at the door, and it was obvious that he wanted to go in.
His eyes were dark and clear, and were reflected by the light in the room, shining brightly. He asked Chen Congyu: "Can't you let me in to talk?"
Chen Congyu was hesitant. On the one hand, she thought that he must be a little drunk and couldn't say anything in this situation. On the other hand, she thought that if he came over in this state, she would do something unsafe if she didn't let him in.
"Is there anything you can't say when you're sober?"
Jiang Xilin looked at her quietly for several seconds before saying, "I'm quite sober now."
Chen Congyu and he remained in a silent stalemate for two minutes, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
