Chapter 274 If Only One Year Earlier

As time went on, there were fewer and fewer reports about Jiang Xilin.

Shen Congyu did not receive any more information from Jiang Xilin.

Once she accidentally ran into Yuan An. He seemed to be unhappy with his current girlfriend. When she saw him, she wanted to avoid him when he was not paying attention, but she still ran into him head-on.

His girlfriend was angry with him and left. He did not chase her, but looked at her receding back helplessly, then took a few steps forward to greet Chen Congyu.

Chen Congyu took the opportunity to talk to him.

In fact, she and Yuan An were not very familiar with each other. In the past, when she was with Jiang Xilin, Yuan An's interactions with her were just business matters. Or when Xue Mingrui was around, the interactions would be more casual.

They don't feel comfortable talking alone.

However, when Shen Congyu met him and had something to ask, he took the initiative to speak.

"I haven't seen Jiang Xilin for a long time. What has he been busy with recently? I have something of his that I want to return to him."

Of course, the latter sentence was her excuse.

The original case said: "Brother Jiang has not been in Haicheng recently."

Chen Congyu: "I know, Ruirui told me. So when can he come back?"

"I'm not sure either. Brother Jiang has his own plans."

Shen Congyu looked at the original case carefully, and couldn't be sure whether he was deliberately not saying it or he really didn't know.

She changed her tone and asked, "Can you ask him for me?"

Yuan An was not a smooth talker. He knew it might not work, but he hadn't thought about how to fool Shen Congyu in advance.

He paused and said, "I'll ask for you first if I have a chance."

There was no guarantee of an answer at all. Shen Congyu sighed inwardly, but there was nothing he could do.

Before she was about to leave, Yuan An hesitated and called her, mentioning Xue Mingrui.

"How's Ruirui doing lately? Is she still mad at me?"

Chen Congyu: "She looks fine."

As for what he was thinking, she had no way of knowing unless Xue Mingrui said it.

Yuan An knew that Xue Mingrui trusted Shen Congyu, so he would say more in front of Shen Congyu.

"I didn't want to have such a fight with her, but I really couldn't give her what she wanted." The original case also seemed to be deeply troubled by the cold relationship between the two. "I treat her as a sister and a best friend. I don't want to have such a fight with her that we will never have any contact again."

He is a sincere person and also honest, so Chen Congyu is willing to help him convey his message.

"I will explain your intentions to Ruirui, but you should know that feelings are uncontrollable. She needs time, and I can't guarantee that you two can still get along as friends in the future. If I force her, she will be very painful."

Yuan An's face was solemn as he nodded, "I know. I'll see what she wishes. I will always treat her as a family member."

It sounds like a very sincere and warm statement, but in fact it is very cruel from another perspective.

After Chen Congyu returned, she didn't receive any news about the original case for a long time. Maybe what he said that day was just an excuse to deal with her.

Jiang Xilin hasn't appeared in public for too long. Even though Yuan'an and Xi Wen are involved in the work, there are still people who make up stories and spread rumors.

On the Jiang family side, Jiang Qunqing didn't seem to have any changes, but Jiang Jingxun was much more obedient, but the gossip media still caught on to his movements.

It seems that only Jiang Xilin has no news.

Chen Congyu's daily life suddenly became a bit boring, commuting to work and occasionally having dinner with people around her. During this time, Zhou Yu did mention to her that they might try to be together in the future.

How did Shen Congyu respond at that time?

Zhou Yuye has very good conditions in all aspects, and it is harmonious and comfortable to get along with him, but Shen Congyu just doesn't have any feelings for him.

This kind of thing is very delicate.

She doesn't need to find a good man to help her now, so what's the difference between this and when she was single?

If it had been a year earlier, she would definitely have agreed to Zhou Yuye.
