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 85 What is this
The bloodstains on the disfigured doll looked very realistic, dark red, slightly sticky, and had a faint, disgusting fishy odor.
Needless to say, those photos all have the same terrifying blood type.
Chen Congyu only took a quick glance at it at first without any precautions, and those images were like ghosts that could not be shaken off, imprinted in his mind.
She leaned against the wall, feeling as if her heart was about to jump out. Her back felt cold and covered with a thin layer of sweat.
For a moment, she even felt afraid of the quiet room, as if there were strange things in every corner.
Chen Congyu had a rough idea of who had sent these things to her.
In the past few years, in order to make her obedient and force her to be honest around him, Chen Yao has done many extraordinary and perverted things.
This is the first time this trick has been used.
Chen Congyu wanted to put away the things in front of her, but when her legs moved, her whole body went limp and she fell to the ground.
She took out her cell phone from her pocket, wanting to talk to someone, but suddenly stopped.
Who could she talk to about this?
Just when he was feeling uneasy, Chen Congyu received a link from Qi Ming, which contained a brief report about the school and a set of photos.
The general content is that Jiang Xilin was invited by his alma mater to give a speech at the school, and Duan Ke accompanied him throughout.
Although there was no intimate contact between the two, they went in and out together, and when the photos were put together, the two looked very compatible.
Shen Congyu flipped to the top again and saw a familiar school photo in the photo.
In the past, she and Jiang Xilin attended the same school.
Even though she was two years younger than Jiang Xilin, they went to class together almost every day when they were together. If they couldn't arrive at the same time, Jiang Xilin would either go early with her or wait for her to finish class.
At that time, he was still working part-time and his schedule was full, but Shen Congyu never saw him dissatisfied.
Later, when he was doing internship and graduated, he would still take her to and from get out of class whenever he was free.
When I get home, I not only have to cook, but also do housework.
When Chen Congyu thought of this, she couldn't help but think of the time when she was still in this school.
If she could see for herself, she had become too much, both in the past and in the present.
So is Jiang Xilin.
Occasionally, she would feel some regret.
But at the same time, she is no longer twenty years old, and she no longer fantasizes about taking another path.
Chen Congyu exited the link and turned off her phone without reading what Qi Ming sent her next.
…
Two days later, the magazine notified Shen Congyu that she had passed the interview, finally clearing away the gloom of the past two days.
Chen Yao has been silent for the past two days, and Shen Congyu has not gone out either. She is very afraid that Chen Yao will do something extreme again.
The news that she passed the interview finally made her feel better.
I shared this with Xue Mingrui as soon as possible.
She invited Xue Mingrui out for dinner, and the two of them were happy and drank some wine.
Chen Congyu was so happy that he drank away all the gloomy emotions that had been pent up in his heart with the help of alcohol.
Xue Mingrui tried to persuade her, but seeing that she was too emotional, he stopped talking and just stood by her side.
Later, Xue Mingrui called a designated driver to send Chen Congyu home first. He drove her all the way to her house, helped her lie down on the bed, poured her some water, and placed a trash can next to the bed before leaving.
Chen Congyu felt quite dizzy and would feel better if she lay down. She wanted to rest for a while and then take a shower.
Lying down and about to fall asleep, Shen Congyu was suddenly awakened by the ringing of her cell phone. She felt for her phone under the quilt and saw dizzily that it was Jiang Xilin's number.
She didn't want to answer the call, and when she pressed the hang-up button, the phone slipped from her hand and she accidentally touched the answer button.
Jiang Xilin: "Come here."
Chen Congyu closed her eyes, lay there exhausted, and refused, "I won't go."
"You said it."
"Another day." Shen Congyu thought for a moment and added, "I've been drinking."
Jiang Xilin was very quiet, as if he was already at home. He asked her, "Did you drink alone?"
Chen Congyu: "He Ruirui, I want to sleep."
After she finished speaking, she listened carefully to Jiang Xilin's call. He didn't say anything else. She opened her eyes and saw that he had hung up the phone.
Thinking that he would forget about it today, Chen Congyu got up and took a shower, then immediately wrapped herself in the quilt and went to sleep.
Jiang Xilin knocked on the door when he came. Shen Congyu is now very sensitive to sudden sounds. She woke up from her dream with a dull heartbeat.
Perhaps because she didn't open the door, her cell phone rang.
Seeing that it was Jiang Xilin's number, Shen Congyu finally let out a sigh of relief.
She got out of bed and opened the door. Jiang Xilin was blocking the door with a courier box in his hand.
Jiang Xilin lowered his eyes and asked her, "What is this?"
The courier box was unopened and there was no useful information on it, but Chen Congyu inexplicably had a hunch that it was sent by Chen Yao.
Shen Congyu pinched her fingers secretly and lied, “I don’t know, is it at my doorstep?”
"It has your name on it."
Chen Congyu still shook his head, “I didn’t want to receive it. It might be some fraudulent package, or you might have lost it.”
Under Jiang Xilin's gaze, Chen Congyu tried to maintain a calm and composed demeanor as much as possible. There was indeed nothing strange on the express box, and even Jiang Xilin could not see anything wrong.
In front of Shen Congyu, he threw the express box into the trash can at the elevator entrance and then walked in.
Shen Congyu ran into the kitchen to make herself a cup of honey water. When she came out, Jiang Xilin was wiping his hands after washing them.
"Did you pass the interview?"
"Um."
Jiang Xilin: "After all, I was the one who introduced you to this job, why didn't you invite me to dinner?"
Chen Congyu held the water cup, his back a little stiff, and only said: “Rui Rui and I had a meal together as girls, I didn’t think too much about it.”
As soon as she saw Jiang Xilin, Shen Congyu would think of what happened a few days ago, and she couldn't help wanting to distance herself from him.
Even when she thought about what would happen later, she couldn't help but feel anxious and resistant.
Facing Jiang Xilin's deep eyes, Chen Congyu added in a useless way: "But thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Her face was not as red as when she just got home, but she could still be seen to be a little drunk. Her face was plain, and under the light her face looked white and rosy, and her skin was in good condition.
Jiang Xilin took off his coat and said, "Then wait until you get your first month's salary, then treat me to a meal."
He used this seemingly gentle language to communicate with Chen Congyu, but in fact, Chen Congyu had no room for refusal.
Chen Congyu's current way of getting along with him is to get along peacefully as much as possible. She doesn't want to make him angry because she doesn't want to be tormented by him.
So she nodded seriously.
She drank most of the cup of honey water. Jiang Xilin took the cup and placed it on the coffee table. He put his arm around her waist and sat her down.
Jiang Xilin almost touched her nose and asked her, "Has that Chen guy come to see you these days?"
Chen Congyu held his breath and said, “No, isn’t he still in the hospital?”
