Chapter 189 Give It Back to Me
It turned out that Yan Zhao was here to pick someone up.
Chen Congyu didn't waste a second and stood aside, not wanting to be said another word by Yan Zhao.
But Yan Zhao still noticed her actions, looked at her indifferently, and then got out of the car to open the door for Cheng Xishang.
When Cheng Xishang came out just now, she saw Yan Zhao talking to Shen Congyu, so she looked at Shen Congyu more and had an impression of her.
She asked Yan Zhao: "Is this your friend?"
Chen Congyu rushed to say: "No, we just know each other."
Cheng Xishang didn't think there was anything wrong. Instead, after hearing what Shen Congyu said, Yan Zhao deliberately introduced her to Cheng Xishang: "She is someone close to Xilin."
The wording is so vague that it's hard to believe he didn't mean anything else.
Chen Congyu looked at him dissatisfiedly.
Cheng Xishang quickly understood the implication behind this.
She didn't say much, but asked politely, "Do you want to leave in our car?"
"No, I have friends with me."
Even if she didn't have a car, she would rather walk back than take Yan Zhao's car.
After she said that, Cheng Xishang nodded and got into the car with Yan Zhao.
Before they left, Yan Zhao deliberately looked at Chen Congyu, but Chen Congyu pretended not to see it.
After leaving the teahouse with colleagues, the two found a restaurant for dinner. Chen Congyu did not return to Jinghu for dinner at night. She always communicated with her aunt, and today was no exception.
But today her aunt told her that Jiang Xilin was at home and asked her if she couldn't rush back?
Chen Congyu even said that he would not go back.
Auntie didn’t say anything else.
At around eight o'clock, Chen Congyu returned to Jinghu. The lights in the living room were on. Jiang Xilin was sitting on the sofa, playing a movie in a low voice.
He didn't look at her. Shen Congyu wanted to walk past him silently, but just as she approached, Jiang Xilin suddenly said, "You put all those things in the basement before, don't you go and clean them up?"
Shen Congyu didn't know about this yet. She thought that since Jiang Xilin had arranged someone, she wouldn't worry too much. Now after hearing what Jiang Xilin said, she went to the basement without saying a word.
It was too obvious that she was ignoring him. Although Jiang Xilin was used to it, she still had this attitude even when he spoke to her nicely, which made him so angry that he wanted to laugh.
When Shen Congyu went to the basement and saw the neatly arranged boxes, she was surprised. She didn't expect Xi Wen to have organized them so neatly.
All I had to do was move the boxes back to my room and sort them out a little bit.
Chen Congyu didn't call Jiang Xilin, nor did she ask her aunt to help, and moved upstairs by herself.
Jiang Xilin was still sitting on the sofa, the movie continued to play, he caught a glimpse of Shen Congyu's busy figure out of the corner of his eye, she was completely immersed in her own world, he tightened his jaw.
Chen Congyu wanted to tidy up a bit today. She had some accessories and small items on hand. She sorted them out bit by bit and suddenly found that something seemed to be missing.
Since someone else had helped her clean it up and she might have forgotten it somewhere, she searched through it all but still couldn't find it.
What a coincidence, what was missing was the ring that Jiang Xilin gave her.
Chen Congyu had to think more.
She thought about it, went downstairs to find Jiang Xilin, approached him with hesitation, and asked, "Have you touched my things?"
She hadn't said a word or looked at Jiang Xilin since she came back in the evening. When she asked him a question, he didn't respond at all.
Chen Congyu knew his temper too well, and was also aware that she had been deliberately ignoring him, so now she was suffering the consequences.
So she softened her tone and repeated, "I'm missing something. Did you touch it?"
Jiang Xilin held the phone in his hand and slowly turned to her, "So you can still talk to me."
Chen Congyu almost choked and froze for two seconds, “It’s not like I had anything to say before.”
"You're looking for me now?"
"Then no one living here will touch my things except you."
Jiang Xilin smiled, "What are you missing?"
Chen Congyu actually didn't want to tell him directly, mainly because of the origin of the ring.
So she asked vaguely: "Tell me first whether you moved or not."
"What treasures do you have there?"
Shen Congyu didn't explain clearly, and he didn't answer directly.
Looking at his calm face, Chen Congyu really couldn't tell whether he really didn't know or was pretending not to know.
In this case, Shen Congyu muttered, “Forget it if you don’t know.”
She planned to go back and ask Xiwen, he should know best, first to confirm whether Xiwen had seen the ring.
Shen Congyu pursed her lips, took one last look at Jiang Xilin, and went back upstairs. She asked Yuan An for Xi Wen's contact information, but he seemed busy. She didn't receive a reply until she fell asleep.
Worried about the ring, Shen Congyu woke up early in the morning. Xi Wen replied that the ring was also in the box. It was either mixed in with other boxes or taken away by someone.
Soon, Shen Congyu knew the answer.
When she walked out of the room, Jiang Xilin happened to open the door.
"So early." Jiang Xilin said.
Chen Congyu was still struggling over whether to ask directly, but Jiang Xilin took the initiative to ask, "Are you still thinking about what happened last night?"
Chen Congyu became alert, "You know it at all, right?"
Jiang Xilin nodded generously this time, "I do know what you are looking for. It's the ring I gave you that year."
"You took it?"
"yes."
Chen Congyu's emotions suddenly surged, and he reached out to him rudely, "Give it back to me."
Jiang Xilin: "First tell me why you still keep it?"
"You gave it to me a long time ago. It's mine. What I want to do with it is my business."
After saying this, Shen Congyu felt inexplicably guilty.
He looked more righteous.
When she acted like this, Jiang Xilin also deliberately said, "Then I want to know, is it not okay?"
He just didn't want to return the ring to Chen Congyu directly. He wanted to hear any answer, but Chen Congyu didn't want to consider it.
What's more, "You went through my things without permission, and I haven't said anything to you yet, but you're still taking them and not returning them to me."
But Jiang Xilin was able to keep his composure and didn't care what she said to him.
"Well, I just don't want to give it to you right now unless you answer my questions."
Faced with this gangster mentality, Shen Congyu was no match for him at all.
And she also wanted the ring back, but she couldn't just give up on him.
Shen Congyu was so angry that she gritted her teeth and couldn't hide, so she had to say: "Why keep it? I just forgot to throw it away, is that not okay?"
"It's been several years. You've been with me all the time, from Haicheng to abroad, and back again. How could I have forgotten you so perfectly?"
Chen Congyu said: "It was just packed with other things, I didn't even think about it."
Jiang Xilin nodded slowly, "If that's the case, why go back? I might as well help you deal with it."
In short, he just won’t return it.
Chen Congyu saw what he meant, endured it again and again, and chose not to rush.
She said casually, "It's up to you. I just wanted to know if you took it. I didn't expect you to be so confident in taking my things privately."
She glared at Jiang Xilin without hiding her feelings, turned around and went downstairs, her originally thin slippers making a snapping sound under her feet.
