Chapter 179 Do You Want to Draw a Line with Me?
Before Jiang Xilin left, he returned Shen Congyu's phone to her. He had something to do, so before he left, he said to her, "I'll come see you tomorrow."
His emotions had calmed down, and the look in his eyes when he spoke to Chen Congyu was cold and heavy.
Chen Congyu's eyelashes trembled, and she turned her head away without saying a word.
As soon as the person left, all of Shen Congyu's strength was removed and he fell on the bed.
Jiang Xilin left, but Shen Congyu knew he wouldn't just let it go. He would come back after he finished what he was doing, or tomorrow.
She was really tired after getting to this point with Jiang Xilin, but wasn't it a relief after the quarrel was resolved?
After Jiang Xilin took her cell phone away at the airport, he turned it off. Shen Congyu did not turn it back on because she knew Duan Ke would definitely ask her about the situation, and she didn't know when Duan Ke would find out that she didn't get on the plane at all.
Chen Congyu was thinking about all sorts of things all night. She left her packed suitcase there untouched, and the house was still the same as when she left, without any thought or movement.
But her guess was correct. Duan Ke did know that she did not board the plane because she arranged for someone to watch her at the airport.
I had originally made this arrangement out of fear that Chen Congyu would not leave honestly, but I didn't expect to see Jiang Xilin appear there and take the person away.
When the person she assigned reported to her, she panicked.
According to her plan, Jiang Xilin couldn't have known so quickly.
After repeatedly confirming that the person who took Chen Congyu away was Jiang Xilin, Duan Ke fell into a state of restlessness.
She was worried that Chen Congyu would betray her.
Not only did she arrange for Chen Congyu to leave Haicheng without telling Jiang Xilin, she also deceived Chen Congyu.
Duan Ke wanted to ask Chen Congyu, but deleted all the messages before sending them, to ensure that Chen Congyu's phone would not fall into Jiang Xilin's hands.
That night, Chen Congyu was not the only one who did not sleep well.
The next day, Duan Ke planned to wait and see how the situation develops, and went to the hospital to see Duan Zhen as usual. Duan Zhen needed to recuperate now, and she could actually stay at home, but she insisted on staying in the hospital.
Duan Ke probably knew that her sister's condition was due to that doctor. She was so disappointed with him that she didn't want to waste any more words arguing with him.
Duan Zhen asked her, "Sister, why do you look so bad? Did you have a fight with Brother Jiang?"
When Jiang Xilin was mentioned, Duan Ke suddenly didn't want to face him.
"No."
"What's that?"
Duan Ke didn't tell Duan Zhen about her arrangements, asking her not to worry about it. "I just didn't sleep well."
Duan Zhen rubbed her forehead, which had been poked, and said, "By the way, Brother Jiang said he would come over. Can you please put in a good word for him on my behalf? He said the day before yesterday that this would be the last time he would help me clean up the mess."
Duan Ke's attention was focused on her previous sentence. "He said he would come? When will he come?"
"I don't know. He's so busy, he must have taken time out to come over. I guess he came to tell me the results and give me a lecture."
"No way."
Duan Zhen: "Why not? He has no patience with me. If he had done it for your sake, he would have ignored me a long time ago."
Although it was clearly about her importance, Duan Ke couldn't be happy.
Because she knew in her heart that the reason Jiang Xilin helped her was only because of his friendship with their family over the years, not because of her.
The more Duan Ke thought about it, the more stomachache he felt. He wanted to leave immediately to avoid running into Jiang Xilin.
Just as she feared, it came true. As soon as she opened the door of the ward, she bumped into Jiang Xilin head-on.
Duan Zhen behind him was quite excited, "Brother Jiang! You came at the perfect time, my sister hasn't left yet."
She was thinking that since Duan Ke was here, Jiang Xilin would probably scold her less harshly.
But he had no idea that Duan Ke now regretted coming here in the morning.
Duan Ke pretended to be calm and greeted Jiang Xilin with a smile, "You came so early."
Jiang Xilin nodded. "Just in time. Did she tell you? I won't care if you cause trouble again."
Duan Zhen: "Brother Jiang..."
Duan Ke didn't expect him to be so direct.
But she had no reason to say no.
"Okay, I'm really troubling you too much. She's already grown up, so she should use her brain when encountering problems."
Duan Zhen was not happy about her sister saying this, but before she could say anything, Jiang Xilin said to Duan Ke, "Come with me."
Jiang Xilin turned around and left first. Duan Zhen quickly said to Duan Ke, "Sister, please have a good talk with Brother Jiang!"
Little did she know that Duan Ke's mind was not on her at all. Looking at Jiang Xilin's attitude, Duan Ke had a bad feeling.
She followed Jiang Xilin into the stairwell, which was quiet and suitable for conversation.
Duan Ke took the initiative to speak: "It's so early, I thought you had a lot of things to do in the past few days and you should take some time to rest. You can ask Yuan An to handle some things."
The light from the corridor shone in from the side of Jiang Xilin, clearly illuminating the expression on his face, which was very cold and indifferent.
"I'm not here to look for Duan Zhen, I'm here to look for you."
Duan Ke forced himself to maintain a smile on his face, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Xilin said, "To be fair, our relationship has been quite harmonious over the past few years. I don't care what you do. After all, Uncle Duan helped me before, but what I have given back in the past few years should far exceed Uncle Duan's help."
"What do you mean?"
"I'll continue to help you with business matters, but I'd like to end it here with your personal matters. I've cleaned up so many messes for you, isn't that enough?"
This was the first time Jiang Xilin said something like this.
Duan Ke was filled with a thought almost instantly.
"Do you want to completely draw a line between us?"
Jiang Xilin didn't intend to explain, but instead asked her, "Didn't we agree a long time ago? We should part ways amicably. It's for the good of your family that we continue to play boyfriend and girlfriend. It's not like I can't end it, right?"
Duan Ke felt an invisible oppression. Jiang Xilin was definitely in a bad mood at the moment. When she heard him speak in this tone, she found it hard to accept it.
She suppressed her inner discomfort and said, "Yes, of course. I have no reason to force you. I even want to thank you."
Looking at Jiang Xilin's indifferent pupils, Duan Ke couldn't help but ask more: "But I want to know why it happened so suddenly?"
"You've crossed the line." Jiang Xilin only uttered a few words coldly, and asked her, "Do you want me to say more?"
Duan Ke couldn't tell how much he knew, so he didn't want to tell everything.
Choose to struggle, "I don't understand..."
Jiang Xilin didn't argue with her: "Chen Congyu."
In an instant, Duan Ke felt as if he was hit on the head.
She continued to ask, "I don't want her to appear before my eyes. Is that a problem? What if someone finds out about you two? Isn't it okay for me to eliminate this possibility?"
"I told you last time that if you can't accept it, then make it public that we've broken up. Since you don't want to, then you have to accept what's going on between me and her. You promised me that."
"She's just an ex we're no longer related to. Why do you have to keep her here? If you really hate her, you shouldn't want to see her, right?"
