Chapter 199 Brother-in-law is here
Chen Congyu took a break these two days and went to look at houses during the day. The savings she had were enough to buy a two-bedroom, one-living-room house for herself and pay a down payment, so she wouldn't have much pressure to repay the loan later.
The location she chose was less than half an hour's drive from the area where she would probably work in the future, so the housing prices were not too expensive.
She also plans to simply buy a car after her new job is arranged.
Chen Congyu doesn't have high requirements for houses and cars now. She had picked out several houses online before, and after a day of on-site viewing, she had a rough choice in her mind.
Moreover, she chose a fully furnished house, so she only needed to buy some simple furniture to move in.
Thinking of this, Chen Congyu felt much more comfortable.
Jiang Xilin doesn't know these things now, but Chen Congyu is prepared that he will know them sooner or later. What will be his reaction then?
Shen Congyu thought about what to do next.
In the evening, before going to the restaurant, she called Jiang Xilin, but he didn't answer. She didn't know if he was still busy.
Shen Congyu sent him another message.
At the agreed time, Jiang Xilin had not responded or come yet. Shen Congyu was inevitably anxious, but there was nothing he could do but go to the restaurant first.
Old man Shen also brought Aunt Shen Congyu with him this time. Her aunt has been taking care of the old man in recent years. Shen Congyu rarely sees her and their relationship is very ordinary.
Besides the two of them, there are also Fang Ya and Shen You.
The old man asked them to come together because they knew many people in Haicheng and wanted to see the identity of the person Chen Congyu brought tonight.
Shen You pretended to be ignorant even though he knew the truth. As soon as Chen Congyu came in, he winked at her.
When Chen Congyu saw it, she was not in the mood to pay attention to him.
As expected, when he saw she came alone, the old man's face turned serious and he immediately asked, "Why are you alone? Didn't you say you brought your boyfriend?"
All Shen Congyu could say now was, “He’s busy with work and will be here a little later.”
"Don't use that excuse again. We're all here tonight, you can't fool us."
Chen Congyu chose a seat farthest from them and sat down, “You will see it anyway.”
Her attitude made the old man unhappy. Shen You had private contact with Jiang Xilin and knew that the person who would come tonight was Jiang Xilin.
Therefore, at this moment, Shen You was speaking for Jiang Xilin who had not appeared yet.
"Grandpa, don't worry. I know my sister's boyfriend. He's successful in his career and is very busy. Let's not rush him."
Aunt Chen Congyu looked at him unsurely, "Are you serious? What do you do?"
Shen You was about to speak, but when he looked at Chen Congyu's expression, he added, "You'll know soon enough. Anyway, she's excellent."
Everyone in the Shen family knew how bad the relationship between Shen Congyu, Fang Ya and Shen You was. Now that Shen's father had passed away, leaving behind a useless and unrelated daughter, and a son who inherited the estate, they naturally lined up.
Now that Shen Youdu is speaking for Shen Congyu, I guess her boyfriend must be of very good status.
So, they choose to wait.
Chen Congyu's mind was on Jiang Xilin. She was right to remind him from yesterday to today. Even so, he still broke the appointment.
She really didn't know if he did it on purpose or what he meant?
The group was halfway through their meal when Jiang Xilin still didn't show up. Shen Congyu was no longer bothered to care whether he would come or not. She just knew that if this continued, these people in front of her would start talking about her again.
She pulled out her phone to see if Jiang Xilin had replied. Her aunt seized the opportunity and started to ask, "What on earth does your boyfriend mean? Does he not want to see us, or does he not care about you?"
What else can Chen Congyu say at this time?
She simply said, "He has something to do and can't come. Let's make another appointment."
Old man Shen was not happy with this.
"Could it be that you're just fooling me with all this, trying to avoid me introducing you to a man? I advise you to give up these messed-up ideas as soon as possible."
My aunt also said, "Yes, since you are still young, you can still make the most of your time and choose carefully. Grandpa is doing this for your own good, so don't be so picky."
Chen Congyu felt extremely annoyed when he heard this, and his resentment towards Jiang Xilin became even stronger.
She was too lazy to say nice things to the person in front of her, so she simply said, "If you keep saying this, I won't give you a penny even if I get married. You know I'm a man of my words."
The words were suddenly said so seriously that except for Shen You, the other three people's faces turned ugly.
They felt that Chen Congyu was making a fuss and had a bad temper. He had just said a few words and that was it.
Old man Shen was just about to act like an elder and teach Shen Congyu a lesson when someone knocked on the door of the private room.
Shen You quickly stood up to break the increasingly tense atmosphere.
While asking them to talk nicely and not be angry, he opened the door. The moment he saw it was Jiang Xilin, he finally felt relieved.
"Brother-in-law is here."
Shen You was very sensible and everyone in the room could clearly hear his shouting.
He was welcoming Jiang Xilin into the room.
Chen Congyu turned to look at Jiang Xilin, not feeling happy.
She didn't say anything, but Shen You enthusiastically introduced Jiang Xilin to Old Man Shen.
As soon as they saw people coming, Fang Ya knew very well that the old man and aunt didn't know much about the people and things in Haicheng, so she immediately winked at them secretly.
Jiang Xilin was wearing a simple white shirt, the plainer he looked, the more handsome he looked. Judging from his appearance and temperament, it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.
After Jiang Xilin came in, he glanced at Chen Congyu, but Chen Congyu quickly looked away, not wanting to pay any attention.
Jiang Xilin was still very friendly. He greeted them and introduced himself.
Then he sat down next to Shen Congyu very naturally.
"I'm sorry, there was an unexpected situation that delayed me. Please forgive me, Grandpa and Aunt."
Jiang Xilin picked up a glass of wine and drank it quickly and refreshingly.
When the other people heard what he had done, their attitude towards Shen Congyu was completely different from how they treated her before he came.
I said it was okay and that my career was my priority, and that we were just meeting casually today.
Looking at their faces at this moment, Chen Congyu sneered in his heart.
Later, Jiang Xilin still gave Chen Congyu face and made her look good in front of them, but Chen Congyu was still not very happy.
After dinner, Jiang Xilin took the initiative to mention, "I didn't handle things properly tonight. I will visit you in person tomorrow. I hope Grandpa can give me this opportunity."
He held Shen Congyu's hand with a gentle smile.
Old Man Shen was very satisfied with Jiang Xilin, so he was naturally willing.
In the short hour they met, Shen Congyu felt that he was closer to Jiang Xilin than to her, his granddaughter.
It is indeed the old feudal system of favoring boys over girls and flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak.
She secretly pulled Jiang Xilin's hand, signaling him to stop talking and finish quickly.
Jiang Xilin looked at her with a smile and held her hand tighter.
