Chapter 191 What do you like?
After the dinner, Shen Congyu and Xue Mingrui walked together. When they were almost at the door, Xue Mingrui's expression changed while he was talking to Shen Congyu when he saw someone coming from another direction.
The others also saw Duan Ke among them.
The two of them were walking at the end, and they could clearly see Duan Ke coming forward to say hello. After all, they had been like friends for the past few years, and now they greeted each other as usual.
Even Shen Congyu and Xue Mingrui beside Shen Congyu had the same tone and expression.
Chen Congyu and Xue Mingrui also responded with a faint polite smile.
When Duan Ke and Jiang Xilin were talking, they also talked about what they discussed during their meeting today. Xue Mingrui secretly tightened his grip on Shen Congyu's arm.
After Duan Ke and her friends left, Xue Mingrui asked Jiang Xilin, "Brother Jiang, did you meet Sister Duan Ke today?"
Yuan An looked at her, as if he didn't want her to ask.
However, Xue Mingrui didn't mean anything special. There was nothing she could do. Since Jiang Xilin said they had broken up, it was normal for her to ask out of curiosity in this situation.
Jiang Xilin didn't shy away from the question and said directly, "We met here too. I ran into him when I came out to make a phone call."
Yan Zhao glanced at Shen Congyu meaningfully, then said to Xue Mingrui: “Let me see that even if we break up, there won’t be too much conflict, and there’s nothing wrong with talking normally when we meet.”
They talked about their own things, and Chen Congyu said nothing.
When it was time to get in the car and leave, Chen Congyu naturally had to go back with Jiang Xilin. Jiang Xilin drove back by himself today, so Chen Congyu and Xue Mingrui said goodbye and sat in the passenger seat.
The car was about to enter the traffic flow, and Chen Congyu suddenly asked: "Miss Duan, what a coincidence, you are here today."
Jiang Xilin tilted his head slightly and asked her, "What do you want to say?"
"I'm just a little worried. What if Miss Duan and her friends see you and me together and come up to beat me up?"
Chen Congyu asked this deliberately.
"Why did I hit you?"
Chen Congyu: "It's not obvious, Miss Duan is your serious girlfriend."
Jiang Xilin could tell she was testing him, and he didn't understand why she was still suspicious.
"That was before, not now."
But Chen Congyu thought about how she saw the two of them talking alone when she came. If they really had to break up, how long would it take for them to face each other so calmly?
Just like the time when Zhou Zhou celebrated his birthday and Duan Zhen saw him, Duan Ke also looked very calm, but later she found her again and wanted to send her away.
Chen Congyu really didn't want to be involved in so many things with Jiang Xilin.
Just as he was thinking about how to get more information, Duan Ke called. Jiang Xilin's phone was connected to the car's Bluetooth, so Shen Congyu could see it clearly.
She counted on her fingers and watched Jiang Xilin pick up the phone.
Duan Ke said, "I found out clearly that it was my dad who contacted other hotels and gave them the contract that was originally going to be signed with you. He didn't tell me about this beforehand. If I hadn't asked you that night and you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it at all."
Jiang Xilin: "I roughly guessed that it was my uncle's intention."
"I didn't expect my dad to do this. I'll talk to him when I get back."
"No need. There's no contract signed yet. It's his freedom to do whatever he wants."
Duan Ke seemed somewhat powerless, and his tone was somewhat low, "Actually, it was not my intention to come to this point."
Shen Congyu listened quietly while they were talking, especially when she heard Duan Ke say this, she looked up to see Jiang Xilin's reaction.
Jiang Xilin simply said, "You don't have to say that. Since we have already separated, of course we must separate clearly so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
In fact, Chen Congyu didn't believe that he didn't hear the hidden meaning in Duan Ke's words. It was a subtle sign of weakness, as if she didn't like the current situation and hoped that it might change.
But Jiang Xilin still chose to say so.
So Duan Ke was silent for several seconds before he said softly, "Yes, that's right."
"That's it, I'm hanging up."
Jiang Xilin ended the call and suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Congyu, "Do you completely believe it now?"
Chen Congyu played dumb, "What do you believe in?"
"Haven't you been testing me to see if I really broke up with Duan Ke?"
So he always knew what she wanted to ask.
Chen Congyu denied it, "I didn't say that."
Jiang Xilin chuckled and didn't take her words seriously. "Whatever you want. Anyway, you hear it with your own ears this time."
Chen Congyu turned his face to the window, and it was obvious that he didn't want to continue talking about this topic.
Even if she knew in her heart that it might be true, it didn't seem credible to say that they broke up because Duan Ke wanted to send it out of Haicheng.
However, after hearing it with his own ears, Chen Congyu didn't feel much at ease.
"Even if you break up, I've only gone from one shameful existence to another shameful existence."
Jiang Xilin held the steering wheel, slowly stepped on the brakes at the red light, and asked quietly: "So what do you want?"
Chen Congyu's purpose was obvious, "I don't want anything to happen, I just hope you won't force me anymore."
"Be more specific."
Having said that, Chen Congyu simply said, "I no longer hope that you can be too nice to me, but I want to be a free person, at least not live in someone else's house every day and have to look at your face."
The answer was similar to what Jiang Xilin was thinking.
He didn't hesitate, "These are mine."
After hearing this answer, Shen Congyu gave up.
On the way to Jinghu Lake, Chen Congyu did not take the initiative to talk to Jiang Xilin. After the car stopped, she got out first and entered the door.
But tonight she did not hide and let Jiang Xilin into the guest room.
Although she was unhappy with Jiang Xilin's words tonight, she was still quite cooperative and not so resistant.
As long as Chen Congyu didn't do anything weird, Jiang Xilin wouldn't bother her anymore.
After it was over, Shen Congyu rested for a while, and when Jiang Xilin wanted to get up and take a shower, she hooked her arm around his.
His throat sounded dry as he spoke, "Can you please give me back my ring?"
She has said this many times in the past few days, whether she was tough or showing weakness, but this time she seemed to sound much softer.
Jiang Xilin leaned back and looked down at her, "Are you so concerned about her?"
Chen Congyu rested her chin on his arm, staring intently at him, “I like it, I want my things back, what’s wrong?”
"Like what? Like that ring?"
Chen Congyu's face was still red, but her eyes were very clean and bright. It was the first time she nodded so frankly.
Wen Wen asked quietly, "Just give it back to me? It's useless for you to keep it."
Jiang Xilin: "It's not worth much. Besides, I gave it to you."
"Well, we still had a good relationship at that time. I don't think I should vent my anger on you."
