Chapter 25 I hope so

It's just a fever, which is nothing to Shen Congyu. At most, the time waiting for the infusion is boring. It is really thoughtful of Xue Mingrui to come and accompany her.

Xue Mingrui also bought some fruit and peeled it while sitting beside the bed. He asked carefully, "Sister Cong Yu, the original case said you're working for Brother Jiang now, right?"

"Um."

"Are you volunteering?"

Chen Congyu, on the other hand, was not as serious and cautious as she was. She laughed and said, "It's not voluntary, but there's nothing I can do about it. Besides, the salary there is quite high."

"Are you short of money?"

Chen Congyu didn't hide it, "It's quite in short supply."

Lack of money seems to explain why she plays the piano in the hotel.

Because she was short of money, that could also explain why she was involved with Jiang Xilin now.

Xue Mingrui still felt that the explanation based on her current understanding was not convincing, so she hesitated to speak.

Chen Congyu noticed her hesitation and took the initiative to say, “I can’t tell you anything else for now, maybe you will know it later.”

Seeing that she was in trouble, Xue Mingrui did not ask any further questions. She tried to find a solution, "Then do you want to change jobs? I will try my best to help you, and I will also persuade Brother Jiang."

Shen Congyu shook his head.

In fact, if she wanted to change jobs, she could find one, but the problem was the salary, and she needed money right now.

"That'll be it for now. Thank you, Rarity. I know what I'm doing."

Chen Congyu thought that she would not stay in Haicheng for too long.

She couldn't hide the truth from Chen Yao forever; it was only a matter of time before he found Haicheng.

Xue Mingrui handed the peeled fruit to Chen Congyu and clearly experienced her changes.

She could feel that Shen Congyu might not have lived a very good life in recent years. Jiang Xilin should be able to notice it too, right?

Then the two of them shouldn't be in this state now.

Xue Mingrui was puzzled and sighed silently in his heart.

After accompanying Shen Congyu to finish the infusion, Xue Mingrui drove her home. The two of them had dinner at the gate of the community and then parted ways.

Not long after Shen Congyu got home, she received a call from Jiang Xilin. He rarely called her and his text messages were very short. Shen Congyu thought he had something to say.

She picked up the phone and heard Jiang Xilin ask, "Are you back home?"

Shen Congyu was stunned. What he meant was that he knew all her movements.

"Did I tell you the original story?"

Jiang Xilin: "They both still treat you as their friend. I'm really sad."

Chen Congyu: “…?”

She couldn't hear the emotion in his words. Although he said it so seriously, it seemed like he did it on purpose.

Chen Congyu said: "Yes, if they saw me, they should have thrown rotten eggs on my head, called me a bad woman, and told me to stay away from you."

She finished speaking in one breath and added: "This way you won't be sad, right?"

Jiang Xilin smiled.

"If that's the case, I'd really like to see it."

Taking advantage of being on the phone, Chen Congyu rolled his eyes and said, "Then you should warn them both."

Jiang Xilin: "I can control their bodies, but I can't control their hearts."

Chen Congyu laughed dryly twice, wanting to end the topic quickly, so he said nonsense: "That's because I'm too charming, there's nothing I can do."

After two seconds of silence, a light sneer came from Jiang Xilin's side.

It was as if he was laughing at her being too narcissistic.

It was within Shen Congyu's expectations.

She wanted to ask what he was calling about, but Jiang Xilin spoke first: "So don't let them down."

Chen Congyu paused, "What do you mean?"

"Just like before, they trusted you so much, but you just walked away without saying a word."

Shen Congyu's reaction was slow for several seconds.

Then she thought, could it be that Jiang Xilin knew that she was planning to leave Haicheng sooner or later? Otherwise, what was the meaning of saying this?

But she soon felt relieved. She had never told anyone, so he couldn't possibly know.

Maybe it was the original case or Xue Mingrui who spoke up for her in front of him, which made Jiang Xilin feel uncomfortable and came to remind her.

Chen Congyu said: "No."

She divorced Jiang Xilin in a hurry because Shen's father had been sending people to keep an eye on her. His cell phone and other communication devices were confiscated. He only bought new ones for her after sending her abroad, so she was unable to say goodbye to her friends at the time.

Listening to her assurance, Jiang Xilin seemed to be unconvinced and chuckled, "I hope so."

…

After the funeral of Shen's father, Shen Congyu had not seen her stepmother Fang Ya and half-brother Shen You. She didn't want to see them unless it was necessary. One day, Fang Ya contacted her and asked her to make an appointment for dinner.

Shen Congyu remained highly alert to this and refused.

Fang Ya was prepared: "I've been cleaning the house these past two days, and I've had people put away a lot of the things you left behind. Don't you want them anymore?"

Chen Congyu didn't want to go back to that home. Fang Ya and Shen You were happy and comfortable, so they didn't consider her a member of the family. So, they kept all the things for her separately.

Chen Congyu didn't want to see her, but she did leave a lot of things in that house. She was short of money now, and maybe she could still find what she needed.

She asked Fang Ya: "What time?"

"Tomorrow night." Fang Ya said the location.

"Gathered all my things."

Fang Ya's attitude was quite good. "Of course, our family doesn't need these things of yours right now."

Chen Congyu didn't say much and just hung up.

The next day, Shen Congyu showed up on time and found that not only Fang Ya was there, but Shen You was also there.

Her vigilance immediately became full.

I chose a seat farthest from them and closest to the door.

Fang Ya noticed and immediately said, "Xiaoyu, don't be so distant. Even though your father is gone, we are still a family in name only. You and Xiaoyou both have your father's blood."

“It was the same when my dad was alive.”

Chen Congyu didn't waste any words, "Where are my things?"

Fang Ya winked at Shen You, and Shen You pushed out a suitcase from the side.

Fang Ya: "There are also some bags you used before, clothes you wore and so on. I thought you definitely wouldn't want them now, so I gave them away."

Chen Congyu’s face became even colder.

Fang Ya probably used it to support the Fang family. Those people she supported probably didn't need these things more than Chen Congyu.

You can get some money by selling it second-hand.

Chen Congyu stood up to take the suitcase, but Shen You didn't give it to her directly, "Sister, since I am still willing to call you sister, please do me a favor."

Shen Congyu stared at him.

"A friend of mine has seen your photo and really likes you. Can I introduce you two to each other in a couple of days?"

Waiting for her here.

That's right, these two people didn't know about her situation abroad, so it's not surprising that they wanted to squeeze out every last bit of value from her in this way.

Chen Congyu laughed and said, "I was wondering why you guys are suddenly so kind and want to sell my daughter for my father's glory?"

Fang Ya's face changed. "What are you talking about? It's an introduction. You two can get to know each other. You're not young anymore. What if it works out?"

"Isn't he very active in dating rich women?" Shen Congyu raised his chin towards Shen You.
