Chapter 112 Becoming Friends
There was nothing wrong with Duan Ke's tone, and she even gestured for Duan Zhen to speak.
Duan Zhen then reluctantly looked up at the other side, "I'm sorry, I was impulsive last night and targeted you without understanding the situation clearly, causing you to be misunderstood by them."
When she said this, the next words she was about to say seemed difficult to say and she hesitated.
Under Duan Ke's gaze, she finally managed to squeeze out the remaining words: "It's my fault. I've wronged you. Please forgive me."
His words were quite sincere, but his expression was bland, and it was obvious that he didn't really want to apologize.
Chen Congyu looked at Wen Song, who was stirring his coffee slowly, and asked, "What exactly are you apologizing for?"
"Last night I made you suspected and misunderstood."
"No more?"
Duan Zhen took a deep breath and said, "I shouldn't have lost my composure and asked you out for a confrontation."
Wen Song: "If that's all, it's not enough."
"what else?"
Wen Song shifted his gaze and asked Duan Ke: "Ms. Duan, your sister is pursuing my fiancé. I won't say anything about that. After all, everyone has the right to like someone else..."
At this point, Duan Zhen suddenly interrupted, "I don't know the relationship between Dr. Meng and you."
"Oh, let's put it this way. You don't know, but you're not Meng Xianyi's person. Even if I really wanted to hook up with Meng Xianyi last night, is it your turn to criticize me?"
This all comes down to Duan Zhen's personality. She doesn't want others to covet or compete with her for anything she's interested in, whether it's a person or an object. Not only that, she even resorts to some trickery.
Duan Ke was of course well aware of her sister's behavior. She held Duan Zhen down and said apologetically to Wen Song, "I'll make her be careful and won't do this again in the future."
But obviously, Duan Zhen didn't want to give up Meng Xianyi just like that.
She ignored Duan Ke's gaze and said, "You are not engaged yet. What's the point of being engaged? You can still get divorced after you get married."
"Okay, then you can ask Meng Xianyi to cancel the engagement with me. I will definitely not stop you. But if you continue to pester him, I will be displeased. Don't blame me for not telling you in advance."
Duan Zhen was more concerned about whether Wen Song’s previous sentence was true.
She wanted to ask further questions and get a definite answer from Wen Song, but Duan Ke was a little angry and didn't let her continue.
Duan Ke pulled Duan Zhen to stand up, "The point today is that you apologize. I haven't said I forgive you yet."
She forced Duan Zhen to bow to Wen Song and said, "Ms. Wen, Ms. Shen, if you have any requests, please feel free to ask. I think we can end this chapter today and move on."
Before Chen Congyu could speak, Wen Song spoke first: "You two sisters embarrassed us yesterday. If you want to apologize, why don't you apologize together? It's not too much, right?"
Duan Ke looked at Chen Congyu hesitantly.
She felt uncomfortable when she was asked to apologize to Chen Congyu.
But Wen Song made it clear that she refused to give in on this condition. In the end, she pulled Duan Zhen along to apologize to both of them.
After saying that, Duan Zhen wanted to leave, but Duan Ke stopped and called out to Chen Congyu: "Can you talk to me alone for a few words?"
Chen Congyu's eyelids twitched, and he stood up and walked with her to a deserted place.
Duan Zhen and Wen Song were left staring at each other.
After walking some distance, Duan Ke took something out of her bag and spread it out under Shen Congyu's eyes.
"I found an earring yesterday. I wonder if it's yours?"
Shen Congyu's heart tightened the moment he recognized her.
Many thoughts flashed through her mind at that moment.
The clearest thing was that she found that one of her earrings was missing after she returned home in the morning. She was worried that it might have fallen at Jiang Xilin's house, but she was not that nervous. After all, even if it was really lost at Jinghu Lake, how could it be such a coincidence that she lost the earring today and Duan Ke went there today and happened to find it?
So she thought of driving the car back after get off work in the afternoon and looking for it to see if it really fell at Jiang Xilin's house.
But now, how could it be such a coincidence, with such a small probability, Duan Ke really picked it up.
But from what Duan Ke said, it didn't seem to fall in Jiang Xilin's house.
Chen Congyu wanted to catch a different emotion from Duan Ke's face, but found nothing.
She took the small earring and said, "Thank you, it's mine."
After she finished speaking, she casually asked, "I thought it was gone. Where did you find it?"
"When we were at the villa."
Duan Ke continued to explain: "But I was in a hurry last night, so I forgot to return it after I picked it up. I only remembered it this morning. I seemed to remember seeing you wearing it."
Chen Congyu said: "Thank you."
"You don't have to be so polite," Duan Ke smiled at Shen Congyu, "Since you, Yuan An, and Xilin have known each other for a long time, I also want to get along well with you in the future, so just treat it as making another friend."
Chen Congyu was surprised that Duan Ke actually knew that she and Jiang Xilin had known each other for a long time. This was not a secret that needed to be concealed, and it seemed that this was all she knew.
Logically, Chen Congyu didn't want to be friends with her, so what was that?
But Duan Ke didn't know that much.
"Okay." Shen Congyu agreed.
Duan Ke: "Actually, we didn't have any conflicts before. As for Zhenzhen, I also told her that we all know each other, and friends of friends can naturally become friends."
Shen Congyu nodded.
After the chat, Duan Ke called Duan Zhen to leave.
Chen Congyu returned to sit next to Wen Song, pinching the earrings in her hand, absent-minded.
Wen Song asked, "What happened? What did she say to you?"
"Nothing, my earring fell off last night and she picked it up."
Having said that, Duan Ke's subsequent words showed his seriousness, but Chen Congyu still felt confused.
She was lost in thought and was accidentally pricked by an earring, which stopped her.
He took another one out of the bag, put the two together, wrapped them in toilet paper, and threw them away.
Chen Congyu turned around and asked Wen Song, "What did Doctor Meng say?"
"I don't know. He didn't look for me. I guess he was too busy and forgot about me."
Chen Congyu sighed inwardly and asked again: "Where is the one from the Gu family who took you away last night?"
Wen Song said casually: "I let him go, everything is fine now, why should I keep him around?"
"Do you really want to get engaged to Dr. Meng?"
"I don't care. If it works out, it works out. If it doesn't, forget it. The problem is, if he gets engaged to me without dealing with the romantic affairs around him, I definitely won't be happy."
As for Zhou Zhou, Chen Congyu didn't even ask. In Wen Song's eyes, he was just a new acquaintance who could play together.
After having lunch with Wen Song, Chen Congyu went back to the magazine office to get busy.
Before leaving work, she asked Jiang Xilin where the car was repaired and took a taxi directly there. She told Jiang Xilin about the earrings.
Jiang Xilin didn't react after listening. It was quiet around him, and every word he pronounced was clearly heard by Shen Congyu.
"Since you didn't find it at home, why are you worried?"
Chen Congyu rubbed his itchy ears and said, "I'm just telling you to be more careful next time."
