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 99 What Does It Have to Do with You
Chen Congyu was convinced that the friend who had been able to play with Jiang Xilin for so many years was indeed the same as him.
She did not reply to the original message, but got up to pour a cup of hot water, added warm water little by little and handed it to Jiang Xilin.
The liquor served at the wedding in the small town hotel was over 40% alcohol. Jiang Xilin hadn't touched it in a long time, and his eyelids turned slightly red after drinking it.
Chen Congyu was indeed worried that if he got drunk, he would probably torment her again.
So she took advantage of the opportunity and brought him some warm water.
She was so considerate in handing water to Jiang Xilin, and the other people's eyes showed another expression that needed to be interpreted.
When Teacher Zhang changed his clothes and came to toast, he specifically asked Jiang Xilin to drink less.
Her eyes fell on Shen Congyu beside Jiang Xilin, and she said with a smile, "Please take care of him a little more today."
"I will."
"You two have such a good relationship, you must be fine."
When Teacher Zhang spoke, Jiang Xilin and Shen Congyu responded together. It looked like they really looked like a couple.
It was quite lively around the scene, but if you didn't stand next to the three of them, you couldn't hear what they were saying.
Qingyun and the others have always known that Teacher Zhang takes good care of Jiang Xilin. In an occasion like today, they finally meet each other, so it is normal to talk more, but what does it mean to have Shen Congyu around?
After Teacher Zhang went to the next table, Qing Yun walked over to Jiang Xilin with a glass of wine and said, "Student Jiang, you have a really good relationship with Teacher Zhang."
Jiang Xilin responded calmly.
Qingyun pointed at Chen Congyu, "Is this also Teacher Zhang's student? Is she a senior or a junior?"
Chen Congyu saw what she was trying to do and said, "None of them."
"Ah, I see Teacher Zhang talks to you more than to us. I thought you were the same as classmate Jiang."
Qingyun said, seeing that Jiang Xilin hadn't said much to Chen Congyu today, but Chen Congyu stayed beside him, pouring water and handing him things, very enthusiastic. Qingyun naturally thought that Chen Congyu was a woman who was rushing to get close to Jiang Xilin.
She said, "But people like Jiang are rare, and it's easy for them to attract the attention of random people."
Chen Congyu could hear the connotation of her words. She kept a faint smile on her face, and there was no warmth in her eyes.
Chen Congyu was about to stab Qingyun when Jiang Xilin suddenly said, "Are you talking about yourself?"
Qingyun and Chen Congyu were both stunned.
Especially Qingyun, she couldn't believe it and said, "What?"
He must have heard it clearly, and Jiang Xilin didn't intend to repeat it.
He took a sip of water and said, "Sorry, I drank too much."
What does it matter if he said that because he was drunk? It was obvious that he said it on purpose.
Qingyun realized it belatedly and felt embarrassed. His ears suddenly turned red. He explained to himself, "I didn't mean to pick on her. I was thinking that you have a girlfriend, Jiang, so I should be tactful when interacting with you. She didn't seem to pay much attention..."
"Are you meddling too much?"
Jiang Xilin said it honestly this time, "What does it have to do with you?"
He seemed to be asking Qingyun seriously, his eyes fixed on her.
Because of this, Qingyun became even more embarrassed.
She was visibly panicked, wanting to cry and laugh at the same time, "No, it's not..."
Xue Mingrui came over, took Shen Congyu's arm, and deliberately said: "Sister Congyu, who is she, why is she always pestering Brother Jiang to talk?"
Xue Mingrui was about to look for Chen Congyu when she saw Qingyun talking. She asked Yuan An what they were talking about. Yuan An told her the truth, so Xue Mingrui hurried over.
Qingyun knew Xue Mingrui and knew that she and Yuan An both had very good relationships with Jiang Xilin, so when Xue Mingrui addressed Shen Congyu so intimately, Qingyun immediately realized that she seemed to have said something wrong.
"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."
After Qingyun finished speaking, she didn't dare look at Jiang Xilin anymore and hurried to leave. Xue Mingrui continued in a voice she could hear: "It's inexplicable. You don't even know me, but you're still finding fault with me. For whom? It's hard to guess."
Qingyun left at a faster pace.
She returned to her original seat across the table, and after a while, she exchanged seats with someone else and moved to another table.
Xue Mingrui saw that everyone was angry and asked Shen Congyu not to take it seriously. She came to Jiang Xilin and said that she would have dinner with classmates in the evening and would not join them.
Jiang Xilin nodded, "Be careful."
"I understand. If anything happens, I will find the original case."
Xue Mingrui did not forget to pull Shen Congyu along, “Sister Congyu, why don’t you come play with me?”
Shen Congyu just opened her mouth, and Jiang Xilin refused it for her.
"She's not going. She's going to follow me."
Chen Congyu wanted to say that she didn't want to, but when her eyes met his, his dark pupils carried a sense of oppression, and she couldn't make the decision.
She pursed her lips, turned to Xue Mingrui and said, "Well, you go and have fun. I won't go."
During the rest of the journey, more people came to Jiang Xilin to try to get close to her. She could finish the sentence with her eyes closed, which was a pity for Jiang Xilin who had to deal with them.
After a few rounds, his eyes were a little red.
When they left, Yuan An walked beside Jiang Xilin, and Shen Congyu walked behind. With Yuan An outside, it was not Shen Congyu's turn yet, unless Jiang Xilin insisted on her coming.
But today was Teacher Zhang's wedding, and Shen Congyu thought he wouldn't do anything that would cause people to talk about him.
She got into the car, and Teacher Zhang and her husband came over to talk to her, asking Yuan An to drive carefully and asking Jiang Xilin to go back and rest.
Shen Congyu learned from their conversation that they would have to stay overnight, and Jiang Xilin would visit Teacher Zhang's home tomorrow.
Through the lowered car window, Chen Congyu noticed that Qingyun and his men were standing at the hotel entrance, looking over here, but it was unknown what they were talking about.
The hotel was the best in town. Jiang Xilin was obviously drunk when he got off the car. His pace was normal, but when you looked into his eyes, you could see that his reaction was a little slow, so the feeling of looking at people was more profound, which made people's scalp tighten.
Shen Congyu turned sideways to look at the elevator button.
When he arrived at the door of the room, Jiang Xilin had a phone call. He took two steps away to answer it. Yuan An handed the room card to Shen Congyu, "You live with Brother Jiang, Ruirui and I will have our room on the other side."
Xue Mingrui interrupted, "We have two rooms."
Chen Congyu held the room card, "Why don't I have it?"
Yuan An said seriously, "There are no extra rooms, and Brother Jiang lives in the best one, so it's no problem to have one more person like you."
“How about I stay and take care of Brother Jiang with Sister Congyu?” Xue Mingrui walked to Shen Congyu.
Yuan An grabbed her by the back of her collar and said, "Don't you have to go to a dinner party later? Let's go."
He dragged Xue Mingrui away, leaving Shen Congyu standing alone at the door.
Well, she really serves Jiang Xilin now.
After Jiang Xilin finished answering the phone, Shen Congyu opened the door and went in together. The best hotel in town was not as good as the one in the city. The heating was not turned on yet, and a cool chill was felt as soon as they entered.
She stood by the door trying to turn on the air conditioner, but Jiang Xilin didn't seem to feel cold. He took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, then lay down.
