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 73 Think of a way
Chen Yao now looks very much like he did before when he suspected that Chen Congyu had something going on with another man.
Now that the man has changed to Jiang Xilin, the meaning is different and he is even more irritable.
Chen Congyu's shoulders and arms were pinched by him so hard that they hurt. She slapped him and said, "If you want to go crazy, get out. Did I provoke you?"
Chen Yao was lost in his own thoughts and had to come up with an answer, but if Chen Congyu didn't answer him honestly, it meant he was covering up.
He vented all the anger he received from Jiang Xilin, the veins on his forehead bulged out, and he pulled Shen Congyu: "You don't want to say it, right? Then come with me to see him. I want to see what else you two can say in front of me."
Chen Congyu thought he was really crazy. What on earth had stimulated him?
There was no way she could go with him, but he was furious and wouldn't listen, and she was far less strong than him.
She grabbed the edge of the bed, but couldn't resist Chen Yao's forceful pulling, and he suddenly pulled her off the bed and onto the ground.
Chen Congyu had no time to react and fell from the bedside, his ankle hitting the floor. The sharp pain made Chen Congyu's face twisted.
Chen Yao's rude and impatient actions stopped for a few seconds, and he finally loosened his grip on Shen Congyu.
He stood there and exhaled, then squatted down in front of Shen Congyu. His tone was much calmer, "Don't struggle, I'll change your clothes, and you come with me to see Jiang Xilin."
Chen Congyu was in so much pain that she burst into tears. When she heard what Chen Yao said, she became extremely angry. She slapped Chen Yao's hand away.
"Get out of here!"
Chen Yao was silent, his breathing heavy. Even after being hit hard, he didn't restrain himself and continued to pick up Shen Congyu. Shen Congyu didn't want him to touch her at all. She was so angry that if he touched her again, she would slap him in the face.
Just as she was about to take action, the door of the ward opened and Xue Mingrui came back on time.
Upon seeing this scene, Xue Mingrui threw down his bag, stepped forward and forcefully pushed Chen Yao away. "What are you doing, you psychopath?"
This was the first time Xue Mingrui got so angry that Chen Yao was caught off guard and was almost pushed to the ground by her.
He stood up and looked at the young girl in front of him who was very concerned about Shen Congyu's condition. He then carefully helped her up and protected her, treating her like a big bad wolf.
Chen Yao had a splitting headache and pinched his brows. "This is a matter between us."
“Really? Then ask Sister Congyu if she wants to talk to you?” Xue Mingrui was like a little firecracker for Shen Congyu.
Shen Congyu was helped by her to sit back on the bed. She felt a sharp pain in her stomach, and the pain in her ankle bones was too severe to ignore.
She pursed her lips and her face turned pale.
Silence is the most appropriate answer.
Besides, Chen Yao knows it best.
Seeing this, Xue Mingrui said to Chen Yao rudely, "Please leave now. It's not enough that you caused Sister Cong Yu to be hospitalized for gastric bleeding. What else do you want to do now? If you don't leave, I'll call the security."
Chen Yao had a gloomy look on his face, and was very dissatisfied with Xue Mingrui's meddling in his affairs, but after a few minutes of delay, his mood gradually calmed down.
Taking Shen Congyu directly to find Jiang Xilin is not feasible for the time being.
Chen Yao looked at Shen Congyu's face, then at her ankles. Knowing that they both didn't want to listen, he still said, "I'm leaving first. You should have a good rest. We'll talk again when you're better."
Chen Congyu closed her eyes and ignored him.
She knew that Chen Yao was just putting it aside for now; she would have to face it sooner or later. When she thought of that day, she really wished time could slow down.
Looking at Chen Congyu's appearance, Chen Yao clenched his fists, turned around and left.
As soon as he left, Xue Mingrui ran over and locked the ward door.
"Sister Cong Yu, what did he do just now? He looked so scary just now. Did he attack you?"
Only then did Chen Congyu lift the quilt again, bend his legs, and check his ankles.
"I don't know what suddenly provoked him. He had to ask me about my relationship with Jiang Xilin and whether I had done anything behind his back."
It was one thing that she couldn't really tell Chen Yao, and it was also another that he had no right to ask.
My ankle is now gradually swelling up, and the bone where it was hit is red. If I don't treat it, it will definitely be bruised and swollen again later.
Xue Mingrui took out a medicine box from the cabinet and said, "What right does he have to ask? He thinks this is their side."
"So I didn't tell him. He was furious and wanted to take me directly to find Jiang Xilin."
Chen Congyu rolled up her trouser legs and turned her legs sideways to make it easier for Xue Mingrui to apply medicine on her.
Xue Mingrui was worried: "Could it be that he knew something? Otherwise, why would he suddenly go crazy?"
Chen Congyu also thought about it.
But these few people are the only ones who know what happened between her and Jiang Xilin, and they won’t tell Chen Yao.
unless.
Jiang Xilin revealed it on purpose.
The potion was ice-cold, and rubbing it on the burning ankles offset some of the burning pain, and Shen Congyu felt dizzy.
Xue Mingrui applied some simple medicine on her and waited for it to dry.
"What if he does this again? This is not a good thing."
Chen Congyu felt that the task was very heavy, "I'll think of a way."
She pulled her trouser legs down. There was a knock on the door. She looked at Xue Mingrui, and they were both worried that it was Chen Yao who had returned.
Xue Mingrui went to open the door and asked the person outside: "Who is it?"
The person outside the door probably didn't expect to be so cautious. After a few seconds, he said, "I."
It’s Jiang Xilin.
Xue Mingrui still turned back to see what Chen Congyu meant.
Although Shen Congyu was upset, he still wanted to find out the reason for Chen Yao's sudden rage, so he nodded and asked Xue Mingrui to help open the door.
After opening the door, Xue Mingrui glanced cautiously at the corridor outside, fearing that Chen Yao would come back.
"Brother Jiang."
Jiang Xilin saw her reaction just now, "Why are you locking the door in the ward?"
Xue Mingrui didn't know whether to say it or not.
Chen Congyu took over the topic, “Chen Yao just came here.”
She looked at Jiang Xilin, trying to figure out something.
"What are you doing here?"
Chen Congyu: "I don't know where he got the information from, but he asked me about my current relationship with you as soon as he came."
Jiang Xilin narrowed his eyes and asked, "What did you say?"
"Can I tell him the truth?"
Xue Mingrui stood up for Shen Congyu, "That's why that bastard was so angry that he insisted on dragging Sister Congyu to confront you. He even pulled her off the hospital bed, leaving her feet bruised."
Chen Congyu had not yet retracted her feet that were resting on the edge of the bed.
Jiang Xilin's gaze shifted over.
Her skin was white enough, and the thin skin next to her bones seemed transparent. Now it was swollen, with some blue and some purple.
His gaze was too obvious, and Shen Congyu felt strange. While the potion was drying, she covered her legs.
She asked him, "So, do you know what's going on?"
Jiang Xilin took off his scarf as he walked inside - the temperature was particularly low today. His movements were methodical, as if he was deliberately hanging on to Shen Congyu.
