Chapter 74 Who Believes

Shen Congyu was almost out of time when Jiang Xilin said, “He plans to buy the house in the East Mansion and give it to you.”

The topic changed so quickly that Shen Congyu couldn't keep up for a while.

Then she figured it out. She thought that Chen Yao didn't show up yesterday because he was busy with this matter again.

But why did he suddenly cause trouble for her?

"I know." Chen Congyu was puzzled. "What does this have to do with you?"

She only knew that she had gone to Jiang Xilin at the beginning because she had no other choice, and Chen Yao would never ask him for help.

The person who first bought the East Mansion house was Jiang Xilin, but Shen Congyu still doesn't know about this.

Now Jiang Xilin doesn't plan to hide it anymore.

"He came to me because I own the house."

The tone was calm and relaxed.

Chen Congyu listened, it was like a bomb, she was about to have tinnitus.

She stared at Jiang Xilin blankly, not caring that Xue Mingrui was still there, and asked lifelessly: "So from the beginning, you knew that I wanted the house there, and you kept forcing me, so I had to ask you for help, right?"

Xue Mingrui listened without daring to say anything. She was also waiting for Jiang Xilin's response. She really wanted to know whether he was really the one who did such a bad thing.

Jiang Xilin nodded, "Yes."

Chen Congyu suddenly burst into tears.

She wanted to laugh.

She laughed at herself for being fooled. If she had left Haicheng some time ago, she might never have known the truth in her life.

She thought she had made a deal with Jiang Xilin. Although she was tense every day, she still despised herself in her heart.

But now he told her that it was his careful plan that she would take that step.

Chen Congyu's tears could no longer be controlled and became more violent.

Xue Mingrui was anxious, and it was not right to comfort her or blame Jiang Xilin.

Facing Shen Congyu's emotional ups and downs, Jiang Xilin remained calm. He asked her, "Are you surprised? Don't you know I will never let you have an easy time? Have you ever thought about using some tricks, deceiving you, and forcing you?"

He was too frank, and because of that, he was bloody cruel.

Shen Congyu wiped the tears from her face fiercely. She didn't want to cry at this time and appear weak.

But perhaps because Jiang Xilin's words reminded her of her struggle and panic over the past few months, which had been haunting her every day, she couldn't bear it when she knew the truth.

"Yes, I knew you wouldn't let me go, but I didn't expect you to go through so much trouble to wait for me to take the bait. You've achieved your goal. Are you satisfied?"

Shen Congyu became more and more excited as she spoke, thinking about how she was bullied by Jiang Xilin during that time, and now she was being bullied by Chen Yao because of him, she couldn't calm down.

She continued, "It seems that's not enough, so you're going to tell Chen Yao about our affair and let him come after me, right? If I had known this would happen, I would have asked Chen Yao to wait a little longer, until you came, so he could see it with his own eyes and take action without hesitation."

She spoke this passionately, and Jiang Xilin grasped the key point.

"He did it?"

Xue Mingrui said promptly, "Sister Cong Yu didn't want to tell him, but he got so excited that he wanted to drag Sister Cong Yu to you to ask for clarification, didn't he?"

At this moment, in the eyes of Shen Congyu and Xue Mingrui, Jiang Xilin told Chen Yao everything that was originally intended to be covered up, causing Chen Yao to get angry, bully the weak and fear the strong, and cause trouble for Shen Congyu.

Jiang Xilin's eyebrows were calm, "I didn't tell him."

"What?"

"Chen Yao's cousin came to me and wanted to arrange for a house, so I went to meet him. Chen Yao was also there. They simply wanted to get the house."

Shen Congyu still looked at Jiang Xilin with suspicion.

Jiang Xilin chuckled, "He's unhappy because I asked him to kneel down for me. As for why he came to you, you should ask him what he associated it with."

“You…” Chen Congyu was speechless for a moment, “If you say that, he will definitely think you did it on purpose.”

"I did it on purpose, okay?"

If anyone is to blame, it's Chen Yao. Before this, he was pretending in front of Jiang Xilin.

The identities of these two people are inherently sensitive and complex.

Chen Yao was unlucky. He didn't expect that Jiang Xilin's current changes were not what he had investigated before.

Chen Congyu was helpless. Chen Yao had become more and more suspicious in recent years. He would get jealous if any man came into contact with her, let alone Jiang Xilin.

He must have thought that Jiang Xilin insulted him so much because of her.

Chen Congyu really didn't know what to say. She now felt that she was the most unlucky one.

As for Chen Yao, she had no way to defend herself.

She had no reason to say anything to Jiang Xilin.

"Then why are you here now? You came at such a coincidence. Who would believe you if you said you didn't say anything to Chen Yao?"

Jiang Xilin: "Whatever you say."

Chen Congyu was so angry that he covered his head and avoided communicating with him.

This was the first time Xue Mingrui went into the scene of their communication. After watching the whole process, she silently pointed outside the door to Jiang Xilin.

The two left the ward to talk.

"Brother Jiang, what exactly are you doing here? Sister Cong Yu has been feeling unwell to begin with, and ever since that Chen Yao came to Haicheng, she's been under a lot of pressure."

Jiang Xilin didn't respond, but asked her: "Did Chen Congyu talk to you about her and the surname Chen?"

Xue Mingrui was very alert and said, "No, I can see for myself that Sister Cong Yu doesn't want to face Chen Yao."

She was under Jiang Xilin's nose, so she had to be cautious when talking about these things, otherwise it would be easy for her to be seen through in her lies.

"Her method is to hide?"

Xue Mingrui: "What can I do? I can't help her. No, no one can help her."

She glanced at Jiang Xilin, and Jiang Xilin raised his hand and pressed the top of her head, "Okay, I have something else to do, I'm leaving."

Xue Mingrui peeked at Chen Congyu at the door and saw that she seemed to be asleep, so she decided to go home first.

Before leaving, Xue Mingrui asked the sister at the nurse station to help pay more attention to the situation in Shen Congyu's ward.

To prevent Chen Yao from coming again.

Chen Congyu covered his head at first because he had no place to vent his inner irritation and could only choose to escape.

Mixed with the physical discomfort, she couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes.

After lying down for a while, she was so exhausted both physically and mentally that she fell asleep with tears in her eyes.

Jiang Xilin's words had a great impact on her. In her dreams, she was controlled by Jiang Xilin. The more she didn't want to do something, the more Jiang Xilin forced her to do it.

She couldn't break free and was under tremendous psychological pressure. She broke down in her sleep and cried bitterly to Jiang Xilin to vent her anger.

Her heart felt so stuffy that tears kept oozing from the corners of her eyes, then fell into the pillow and disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Xilin came back and stood quietly beside the bed, watching Shen Congyu fall asleep with a frown on his face, even crying.

The crying was sad, more real than any emotion she had felt while awake.

Jiang Xilin was very curious about what she dreamed about.

He took a piece of paper and wiped the moisture off her face.

The person who was clearly sleeping soundly suddenly woke up at this moment.
