Chapter 117 Isn’t it good looking?
Chen Congyu raised her other hand to wipe the moisture from the corners of her eyes. The tip of her nose was red, and she looked truly weak. She explained, "If it weren't for Miss Duan introducing me, I would have agreed to meet her because I thought she wouldn't doubt me."
She continued pitifully, "And I saw it was Hu Zi, your friend, and he didn't even come clean to me. What should I say? Do you want me to say I don't talk to men?"
She choked twice in the middle of her speech, and her tone changed from anger to sadness and dissatisfaction, as if she was hurt by his words.
Someone was coming, and Shen Congyu tensed up instantly, hiding behind Jiang Xilin's figure to avoid being seen by the newcomers.
Jiang Xilin let go of her and took a half step forward slowly.
If you don't look carefully, you really can't see that there is another person.
After the man entered the bathroom, Jiang Xilin said to Shen Congyu, "Is that what you said, you know it clearly in your heart."
Chen Congyu paused in wiping her tears.
Jiang Xilin added, "You decide for yourself."
He didn't say anything harsh, but just passed his gaze coldly across her face as he walked away. Shen Congyu didn't move, but she knew exactly what he meant.
If she continued to be with Hu Zi like this, he might not do anything.
He didn't believe her, but reminded her to resolve it as soon as possible.
And this time, it’s not over yet.
After Jiang Xilin left, Shen Congyu put away the aggrieved emotion on his face.
Jiang Xilin returned to the booth. Duan Ke looked at him carefully and asked softly, "Why did you take so long?"
Jiang Xilin didn't explain and just responded casually.
Duan Ke became absent-minded.
A few minutes later, Hu Zi's cell phone rang. He picked it up and called Chen Congyu's name, and Duan Ke looked over.
After a moment, Hu Zi put down his phone and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Cong Yu had to leave first because of something urgent. Let me tell everyone."
Xiao Xing asked in confusion, "What kind of job does she have? Why is she still busy so late?"
"At the magazine."
Duan Ke said, "I didn't expect that. It seems that her previous job at the hotel was just a transitional period."
Those tigers didn't know much about it either, so they just brushed aside the topic of Chen Congyu in a few words.
After the dinner, Jiang Xilin sent Duan Ke home. On the way, Duan Ke talked about Shen Congyu and Hu Zi and asked Jiang Xilin: "Would you be unhappy if I brought Hu Zi and Miss Shen together?"
Jiang Xilin held the steering wheel and responded to her question without hesitation: "Why do you think so?"
"I thought that after all, Miss Shen is also your friend. She doesn't seem to like Hu Zi very much. If I cause her trouble because of helping Hu Zi, I'm afraid she will be embarrassed to say it."
"That depends on her."
Duan Ke seemed to be thinking about it. "If she doesn't like Hu Zi, I can introduce her to other men. Or how about we ask her out for dinner some other day and ask her out?"
The light ahead turned red. Jiang Xilin stepped on the brakes, lowered the window for some fresh air, and asked her sideways, "Are you really that close to her?"
"We'll all become friends over time," Duan Ke continued to ask for his opinion. "Do you think this arrangement of mine is a bad one?"
She looked very sincere, and Jiang Xilin recalled what Shen Congyu had said tonight.
He was impatient, "Whatever you want."
…
Chen Congyu felt aggrieved, but she couldn't vent her anger on Jiang Xilin. On the contrary, he didn't believe what she said, so she had to endure her dissatisfaction and say nice things to him.
Thinking of this, Chen Congyu was overwhelmed.
She forced herself to send a message to Jiang Xilin during her break at work to test his attitude.
Jiang Xilin ignored her for the first two days, but on the third day, perhaps because Chen Congyu's persistence had some effect, or perhaps because Jiang Xilin was not too busy, he agreed to Chen Congyu's invitation.
Chen Congyu worked hard to finish the work in her hands quickly. After work, she went to the supermarket to buy groceries and then rushed home to cook.
Thinking of Jiang Xilin's face and bad attitude while cutting vegetables, Shen Congyu almost cut her fingers.
She rushed to get it done, and luckily Jiang Xilin was working overtime, so when he arrived, she had just prepared everything.
While he was inside, Shen Congyu went back to her bedroom and changed her clothes. It was a long dress that Wen Song had recently given her. It showed off her figure without appearing frivolous or flamboyant. The color complemented her skin tone and was low in saturation, which suited Shen Congyu's appearance very well.
Her skin looks rosy and fair. The only flaw is that she is a little thin, otherwise she looks like a perfect white porcelain pearl.
In fact, she couldn't wear this long skirt in this weather, but fortunately at home, Shen Congyu did it on purpose and persuaded herself to keep a calm mind.
She went out of the bedroom again. Jiang Xilin was still on the phone. When he heard the voice, he turned sideways and looked at her.
Chen Congyu was not sure if she would look too out of place if she changed her clothes, and would be out of place in her little house. She tried to walk to the dining table as naturally as possible, and helped him serve the rice and put away the dishes.
Less than two minutes later, Jiang Xilin came over from the balcony. He didn't hide his gaze on her. "Why, are you trying to seduce me?"
Chen Congyu felt briefly uncomfortable with his bluntness and pretended to be dumb, "No, I wore my previous clothes for a day and they smelled of cooking fumes, so I changed into a new set."
She opened her eyes slightly with an innocent look and asked Jiang Xilin, "Isn't it pretty?"
Jiang Xilin took a serious look and said, "It's worse than when I wasn't wearing it."
Chen Congyu almost couldn't maintain the expression on her face.
Watching Jiang Xilin sit down, she pinched her palms and regained her composure, "Before dinner, I need to make a phone call."
Hearing this, Jiang Xilin looked at her leisurely.
She sat down next to him, took out her cell phone and made a call, turning on the speakerphone.
The other party answered the call without delay, and his tone was as gentle as usual.
"Sister Cong Yu? What do you want to talk to me about?"
It’s Hu Zi.
Jiang Xilin kept staring at Shen Congyu.
Chen Congyu glanced at him and said to Hu Zi, "Yes, there is something."
"It's okay, you say."
Chen Congyu: "I'm not busy at work today, so I have time to talk to you. I've been getting along well with you recently, and I roughly know what you mean, but I think I should still make it clear to you in advance."
When saying this, Shen Congyu's eyes never left Jiang Xilin's face.
Hu Zi fell into silence.
Being looked at by Jiang Xilin with a half-smile, Chen Congyu had to bite the bullet and continue: "You have a good personality and are very considerate to me. I am very happy to have you as a friend, but I don't have any feelings for you between men and women."
Chen Congyu's current personality rarely allows her to say something so bluntly, but she has to say it now.
These words were indeed her true thoughts about Hu Zi, so they sounded very sincere.
Hu Zi finally spoke, a smile still in his voice, though it sounded a little forced: "Sister Cong Yu, I understand what you mean. It's nothing. I didn't expect you to agree to it. We can still be friends. It's all right as long as you don't hate me."
