Chapter 178 Regret from the Beginning (Revised)
Although Chen Congyu was panicked, she did not lose her composure.
After all, it has come to this point, the result will be equally bad whether she says it or not.
Saying this can also remind Jiang Xilin that their original relationship was abnormal.
Jiang Xilin didn't have any time to react and immediately asked her, "So you've been pretending all this time? You just wanted to wait until today, right?"
"What do you think? Would I willingly choose such an identity?"
Chen Congyu's eyes were hot, and she endured not to reveal the sound of sobbing, and continued: "I can't end this abnormal relationship, I can't leave you, if it wasn't really necessary, I wouldn't want to give up my job and start over in a strange place!"
She was angry and aggrieved, and she had to hold it in until now to speak it out. She had been in pain.
Jiang Xilin breathed heavily, "I thought you would be somewhat sincere after all this time."
"How embarrassing a position have you put me in? How despicable must I be to be sincere to you in such a situation?"
Chen Congyu didn't understand why he asked this, "Your purpose is to torture my mind, do you still want me to have feelings for you?"
Jiang Xilin did not answer this question directly.
"Your acting skills are really good, you repeatedly showed weakness in front of me." Jiang Xilin paused and asked her, "You haven't forgotten how you made me believe in you, right? I gave you a chance."
"So what? Your speculation about my relationship with other men was fake!"
Shen Congyu became emotional and tried to break free from Jiang Xilin's hand.
His strength was unmoved, making Shen Congyu more and more collapsed, "Let me go, I can go wherever I want. If I had known that returning to Haicheng would cause trouble for you, I would not have come back!"
Her words angered Jiang Xilin. He dragged her in front of him and grabbed her waist tightly. "What gives you the right to say such things? You were the one who left me behind back then. Do you still want to never see me again?"
Chen Congyu was dizzy from his vigorous dragging. She gasped, "But you already have a girlfriend, don't you? I admit that this might be my retribution, so I've been living a mess these past few years, while you're successful in your career and can get whatever you want. Can't you just leave me alone and make me regret it for the rest of my life?"
"No." Jiang Xilin answered without hesitation.
He twisted her head and forced her to lower it so that she could no longer avoid his gaze. His voice was almost squeezed out from the depths of his throat:
"I want to watch you and stop you from making decisions on your own. Since you said I can get whatever I want now, I want you even more. You, a heartless woman, will see the wrong decision you made back then as soon as you open your eyes."
Chen Congyu's tears silently wet her cheeks. At such a close distance, she could clearly see the burning heat and resentment in his eyes, like a raging fire that burned endlessly.
She closed her eyes weakly, and the moisture on her chin dripped onto Jiang Xilin's wrist.
Jiang Xilin continued, "If you want to regret it, start from the beginning. Who asked you to chase me?"
He dared to guarantee that if Chen Congyu said it now and regretted it then, he would definitely use something to block her mouth.
"Aren't you curious about how I found out you'd already gone to the airport?" Jiang Xilin began to speak proactively. "If you want to blame someone, blame me for knowing you too well. You thought I didn't notice all those things that were inexplicably missing from your house, did you?"
Shen Congyu was shocked.
Although she didn't say anything, her panicked eyes revealed her reaction.
Jiang Xilin: "I didn't say it at that time because I wanted to see what you were going to do, how far you could go, and whether you were likely to change your mind."
It was Chen Congyu who repeatedly told her to give her a chance and trust her, and he kept waiting.
Turns out she's a good actress.
"No..." Shen Congyu denied it.
"No what? You still want to deny it?"
Chen Congyu chewed the words on the tip of his tongue over and over again, not knowing whether he should say it or not.
Seeing her silent again, Jiang Xilin sneered and said, "When your landlord came to you and said you had only rented the house for half a year, I asked you if you were hiding anything from me, but you repeatedly denied it."
Chen Congyu's legs and feet were numb, and it was almost Jiang Xilin's support that kept her from collapsing.
She knew that Jiang Xilin was a thoughtful person, so she planned as carefully as possible, but it really proved that man proposes, God disposes.
If Jiang Xilin hadn't said it now, how could she have known that he happened to see her landlord when he came.
"I want to end our relationship, but I don't want to leave Haicheng. I have a stable job and friends now. If I hadn't had to, I wouldn't have made this choice."
Jiang Xilin was too lazy to listen to her explanation and pulled her inside.
This action instantly made Shen Congyu see Chen Yao. Alarm bells rang in her mind. She was unwilling to go with him and struggled hard.
Jiang Xilin simply carried her on his shoulders.
In the dim room, the man was angry, and the fear in Chen Congyu's heart was rapidly magnified.
She was hanging upside down with her upper body, and the dizziness of the sight and the unstable posture caused her to react violently.
"Let me go, let me go!"
Jiang Xilin said nothing. During her struggle, her hair was pulled by her. She held on tightly and refused to let go, trying to make him let her go.
After entering the bedroom, Jiang Xilin finally stopped.
As soon as he put Chen Congyu down, Chen Congyu was about to run outside.
He grabbed her arm and asked, "Where else do you want to go?"
"I don't want you to care about me. Anyway, I don't want to stay with you!"
Chen Congyu's head was still dizzy and her stomach was churning. She endured the discomfort and wanted to escape from the room.
In Jiang Xilin's opinion, she just couldn't wait to leave him.
He slammed the door shut and hugged Chen Congyu from behind. The difference in size and height made it effortless for him to hold her in his arms and prevent her from breaking free.
And Shen Congyu watched helplessly as the door of the room closed before her eyes, as if closing her safe passage.
She fell into a complete breakdown, and even Jiang Xilin's touch made her uncomfortable. "If I had known this would happen, I really shouldn't have pursued you back then! Otherwise, I wouldn't be like this now!"
Jiang Xilin listened to her words and gradually tightened the strength in his arms, as if there was no possibility for her to break free.
At times like this, he was actually much calmer.
He whispered in her ear.
"It's too late for you to regret now. I can't let you leave satisfied. Don't even think about it."
To Shen Congyu it sounded like the whisper of a devil.
She struggled until she was exhausted and her condition deteriorated. She felt more empty inside and her body was shaky.
It’s all thanks to Jiang Xilin.
He continued, "Why did I still find out even though you were so well prepared? This is the result you can't change."
