Chapter 145 If You Don’t Scheme, Others Will Scheme You
Chen Congyu asked Zhou Yuye on the phone when he was free and invited him to dinner.
After more than ten minutes, Zhou Yu also responded.
【No need for eating.】
Chen Congyu said: [You solved my problem for me, I should do that, otherwise I would feel very guilty.]
Zhou Yuye: [In that case, I wonder if you would be willing to do me a favor.]
Chen Congyu didn't expect to have an unexpected gain.
She replied: [You don’t have to be so polite, you go ahead.]
Zhou Yuye: [Can you accompany me to the horse farm in the new district on Saturday afternoon?]
He quickly added: "Just stay by my side, there won't be any difficult situations."
This was a rare opportunity, so Shen Congyu naturally wouldn't refuse it. She waited for two minutes before agreeing.
In Shen Congyu's impression, Zhou Yu is also a reliable person. He can be said to be the head of the Zhou family. Even a playful young master like Zhou Zhou behaves well when he sees him and respects him very much.
So Chen Congyu didn't want to miss this hard-won opportunity.
On Saturday afternoon, Zhou Yu also asked someone to pick up Chen Congyu. It was the same driver he had met last time. After Chen Congyu got in the car, he asked Zhou Yuye.
The weather is not very good today. It was sunny in the morning, but it became cloudy after lunch. The wind is blowing from time to time now.
In the second half of the journey, the driver arrived at where Zhou Yu was also, picked him up in the car, and went to the horse farm together.
Shen Congyu greeted him and chatted with him casually for a few words. He suddenly said, “Miss Shen trusts me so much, aren’t you afraid that I will cheat you?”
Chen Congyu naturally wouldn't take the initiative to say that she had specifically inquired about his character. She said seriously: "I heard Zhou Zhou mention you. He respects you and trusts you very much, so I don't think you are a bad person. And you have a good reputation. I don't think you will ruin your reputation."
The latter sentence was said by Chen Congyu vaguely.
It sounds clever, but not obnoxious.
Zhou Yu also smiled and said, "Yes, your analysis is correct."
When he smiled, Shen Congyu felt more relaxed and no longer so reserved and tense.
Zhou Yu also explained to her why he had bothered her to come today: "A long-time business partner of mine recently came to Haicheng and mentioned that he wanted to match me up with his daughter. I couldn't refuse, so I planned to find someone to act with me to make him give up the idea."
It is indeed difficult to do. Shen Congyu nodded to show his understanding.
But she was still curious; "Then why did you choose me? Mr. Zhou should have some friends of the opposite sex who can cooperate with him."
"Actually, I have a pretty good relationship with him. Besides business dealings over the years, we're almost friends in private. I don't have many close friends of the opposite sex, and he knows it. It's not a good match."
"Is that so," Shen Congyu responded quickly, "Then I will definitely cooperate with you!"
She could decipher at least two pieces of information from Zhou Yuye's words. One was that he really didn't have many friends of the opposite sex, and the other was that he didn't have a bad impression of her, otherwise he wouldn't have looked for her.
Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, Shen Congyu didn't care, it was beneficial to her anyway.
Before getting off the car, Zhou Yu also slightly narrowed the distance between him and Shen Congyu, without being too close.
"I told the other party that I had been pursuing you for a long time but still couldn't catch you."
And the character setting.
Chen Congyu received the information seriously, "Why is it arranged like this?"
Zhou Yu also smiled, "Because this shows that I like you very much, and I can't think of anyone else except you."
Chen Congyu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth twice.
You really know how to have fun.
She walked beside Zhou Yuye and soon saw the person he was talking about. When the other person saw Chen Congyu, his smile faded subtly.
Chen Congyu pretended not to know. She had also agreed with Zhou Yu that she would act a little cooler today, so that she could talk less and appear difficult to deal with.
Zhou Yu also smiled and nodded in agreement.
At first, they sat down and chatted for a while. The other party seemed to have something to say to Zhou Yu alone, and asked him if he wanted to try riding a horse. The ranch recently had several new horses bred abroad.
Zhou Yu also looked at Chen Congyu. Chen Congyu told him to do as he pleased. After all, she was here to play a supporting role and should know her place.
She said she was not feeling well and asked them to go out and play. She watched their figures gradually go away, and then sat alone under an umbrella drinking tea and eating snacks.
Chen Congyu told Wen Song when he came, and the two were texting to discuss the current situation.
Wen Song: [You two seem to be chatting harmoniously. It would be great if you could actually win Zhou Yu over. You should work harder. Don't be so indifferent. Be more proactive.]
Chen Congyu did not deny that Zhou Yu was also a man of high rank, but she did not have much desire to take anyone down.
The years of living with Chen Yao had exhausted her, and the time spent with Jiang Xilin had made her rack her brains. She was very tired and wanted to live a peaceful life.
But she had already started a relationship with Zhou Yu, and she didn't say that she didn't have any feelings, she just wanted to let things take their course.
Wen Song said that her temper had been worn away by those two men and asked her to cheer up.
She said to Chen Congyu with a feeling of disappointment: [If you don't scheme, others will scheme against you!]
Chen Congyu picked up the teacup on the table in front of him and took a sip. It was cold, and it seemed to have cooled down quickly because of the wind.
She was too lazy to ask someone to change it, so she comforted Wen Song and looked into the distance. The venue was too large and the weather was bad in the afternoon, so the places too far away were all gray and could not be seen clearly.
There was no sign of Zhou Yu either.
Putting away the phone, Shen Congyu got up and went to the bathroom.
This horse farm has been open for many years. Chen Congyu had come here to play before she went abroad. It has not been renovated for so many years, so she is not unfamiliar with it.
She walked around according to her memory, and the crisp sound of high heels stepping on the floor was heard in the corridor. Shen Congyu turned her head and took a look from the window. This look made her stunned.
The owner of the high heels was none other than Duan Ke, and the person next to her was Jiang Xilin.
There was no one else in the corridor, and the two of them saw Chen Congyu at a glance.
Duan Ke looked around and asked, "Why is Miss Shen here alone?"
Shen Congyu thought of Zhou Yuye and that partner. If she met Jiang Xilin and Zhou Yuye introduced her, her identity today would definitely be very dangerous.
She reacted very quickly. Fortunately, she met him here and Zhou Yu was not there yet.
"I'm waiting for someone."
Chen Congyu did not forget what kind of cooperation she had reached with Duan Ke, but she could not let Jiang Xilin see it in front of him, so she had to maintain the right attitude when facing Duan Ke.
Everything about her seemed gentle, as if she saw Duan Ke's complicated thoughts.
Jiang Xilin took a closer look.
Just as Duan Ke took his arm and was about to continue walking, he suddenly said, "Who is it? I didn't seem to see anyone else just now."
Chen Congyu clutched his palms, "They took their horses and rode away. I didn't go."
Duan Ke watched them talking. This was the first time she had seen them together since she knew the inside story. She couldn't help but urge Jiang Xilin, "Let's grab our things and leave quickly. It seems like things are going to change."
