Chapter 46 Her True Face

Jiang Xilin was going to stay overnight, so Shen Congyu went to take a shower first.

She thought that the atmosphere between her and Jiang Xilin tonight was quite good, so they could be normal when doing things later.

If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the last time.

Putting aside other things, Jiang Xilin is qualified as a bed partner in all aspects except for being not considerate enough.

Even exceeded the standard.

If Chen Congyu could really ignore it, she would still enjoy it.

Outside, Jiang Xilin was alone in the living room. He turned off most of the lights and prepared to go into the bedroom. A phone call happened to come in. He leaned against the sofa and answered it. It was about a business project.

After fighting for a few minutes, when we were finishing up, someone knocked on the door.

Jiang Xilin gave the final instructions to the person on the other end of the phone and went to open the door.

The person who appeared in the cat's eye was Xue Mingrui.

Jiang Xilin put down his phone, turned off the light in the entrance hall, and then opened the door.

Xue Mingrui opened the door and said happily: "The money is collected! Sister Cong Yu, you——"

Her voice stopped very suddenly.

Because she saw Jiang Xilin.

It was so late, Xue Mingrui had never thought that there would be other people at Shen Congyu's house, so he couldn't wait to share the good news with her as soon as he entered the door.

Who knows.

Xue Mingrui's breath got stuck in her throat. The door behind her was not closed yet, and the cold wind rushed in, almost extinguishing the temperature of her blood.

"Jiang, Brother Jiang," Xue Mingrui's heart was beating fast, and he didn't even dare to look Jiang Xilin in the eye. "Why are you here?"

The only light source in the living room was blocked by Jiang Xilin behind him, and his figure blurred and melted into the darkness.

He asked in a deep voice: "What money do you want to raise?"

Xue Mingrui rarely felt scared in front of Jiang Xilin. She froze in place, knowing that she had messed up.

Anxiety and fear surged in his heart, and Xue Mingrui mechanically denied it: "No."

"Rui Rui, you are not good at lying."

Jiang Xilin took a step forward, and Xue Mingrui subconsciously stepped back.

He reached out and closed the door. With a "clang", Xue Mingrui was shocked all over.

Jiang Xilin then turned on the light, which made Xue Mingrui's face look pale.

He continued slowly, "Tell me, what are you collecting money for? Who are you collecting it for?"

Xue Mingrui's only thought at this moment was not to admit it and not to let Jiang Xilin link the matter of raising money to Shen Congyu.

She looked away and explained, "It's me. I'm short of money lately, so I asked Sister Cong Yu to help me scrape together some money."

"Really? What are you buying?"

Xue Mingrui couldn't say it.

Jiang Xilin pressed on, "Do you need to come in the heavy snow at this time to share the good news with Shen Congyu?"

His tone gradually became serious and cold. Xue Mingrui had never seen him like this before.

She said weakly: "I didn't think so much..."

"You've been busy trying to raise money all this time. It's so difficult, why don't you come to me?"

His gaze was too sharp and Xue Mingrui couldn't withstand it at all.

She was slow to realize what Jiang Xilin meant. Did he know that she had been collecting money recently?

If you know what she is doing, it would be difficult for her to lie.

This was the only thought left in Xue Mingrui's mind, and he was so anxious that he was about to cry.

"I'll explain it to you later, Brother Jiang, please don't push me, okay?"

"not good."

Jiang Xilin stood in front of Xue Mingrui, as if to force him to tell the truth.

Xue Mingrui burst into tears, "I don't want to tell you."

She naively thought that by saying this, she would not expose Chen Congyu.

"Ruirui." Shen Congyu's voice suddenly appeared.

She didn't know when she was standing at the bedroom door.

Xue Mingrui looked over in surprise, his eyes full of anxiety.

Chen Congyu simply turned on all the lights in the living room. She was wrapped in a bath towel, her hair was still wet and she had no time to wipe it.

She walked over a few steps and said to Xue Mingrui, "Ruirui, you've made such a tiring trip. Thank you. You can go back first, okay?"

Xue Mingrui didn't want to leave.

At this time, she got into trouble. If she just left like this, wouldn't she have to face Jiang Xilin alone?

He is so scary.

"I won't leave," Xue Mingrui tried to make a final effort, trying to find an excuse to take the blame for the loan. "I can explain it clearly to Brother Jiang, Sister Cong Yu, I don't need your help."

Shen Congyu walked over, passed by Jiang Xilin, did not look at him, but touched Xue Mingrui's face, "No need, really, it's late, you go back, I will take care of it myself."

Xue Mingrui's tears immediately fell. It was he who ruined Chen Congyu's plans. She worked so hard and was under so much pressure. She asked him for help, but he ruined everything at this critical moment.

It was so close to being over.

Xue Mingrui's eyes were blurred with tears. He shook his head and was unwilling to leave.

She went to pull Jiang Xilin, but Shen Congyu stopped her.

"You've helped me a lot, and I'm very grateful to you. Let me handle it now. I'll call you tomorrow morning, okay?"

Chen Congyu didn't want the simple Xue Mingrui to experience too much, not to mention that this was her business, and she couldn't let Xue Mingrui be forced to lie because of her.

She coaxed Xue Mingrui away.

As soon as the door was closed, the air around him became inexplicably colder.

Chen Congyu was still wrapped in a bath towel, with her shoulders, neck and calves exposed, her hair was still wet and dripping with water, and she had a layer of small bumps because of the cold.

She didn't care and looked at Jiang Xilin, "You actually know, right?"

"Know what?"

"Rarity is trying to collect the money."

Jiang Xilin leaned against the wall, his condescending gaze making him look indifferent. "I know she's been borrowing money recently. Until just now, she came to you. I guess she wanted to borrow money for you, right?"

He was so accurate.

Such a man is very smart, but also very scary.

Fortunately, Chen Congyu already understood it.

Instead of the expected worry and panic of being discovered by him halfway, when it really came to this moment, Chen Congyu became very calm.

She nodded in acknowledgment.

If Xue Mingrui were here, he would definitely think she was crazy.

She turned and walked towards the living room.

Jiang Xilin's question rose faintly behind him, "What do you want the money for?"

Chen Congyu wanted to laugh.

He actually asked.

She thought he knew her purpose very well.

She actually laughed, then said, "Of course I'll give it back to you if you ask for money."

Jiang Xilin stared at her plain face without any aggression.

"To end that agreement?"

"Yeah, who can stand it?" Chen Congyu said honestly, "Although I was the one who came to you, I have something to ask for. Even if I have brought this upon myself, I still want to shorten the deadline to the shortest possible time. If I can get the money back, of course I have to hurry."

This is her true face.

Some time ago, including before Xue Mingrui appeared tonight, she was pretending.

Jiang Xilin clearly knew her true appearance best, yet he still felt a little uncomfortable at this moment.

"So you've been pretending all this time, right?"

Chen Congyu: "Yes, I'm not a masochist. You don't even have a good face towards me, but I still want to chase you and lick you from the bottom of my heart."

Wanting to leave Haicheng soon, Chen Congyu simply confessed.
