Chapter 224 Is This What You Should Say?
Chen Congyu was suddenly in a very passive position.
She thought about it in a turbulent manner, and finally said with difficulty: "The reason why I use this kind of thing as my bargaining chip is because I am not sure whether speaking out will put myself in a more disadvantageous situation."
"For example?"
Chen Congyu lowered his head, then turned to look at the shimmering river surface. "After hearing this, will you laugh at me and say that I deserve my current situation?"
It was obvious to the naked eye that she fell into a negative state when she thought about these things.
Jiang Xilin jumped out of her logical blind spot and asked her in return: "Whether you tell me or not, how will your current situation here be better? I thought you would think so."
Shen Congyu suddenly felt tired.
Because Jiang Xilin was right.
She was silent for a long time, so long that Jiang Xilin thought she wouldn't say anything again today. Then she slowly said, "Ever since we started dating, my dad has been unhappy with you since he found out. You know why. I didn't listen to him at that time, and he didn't force us to break up because he thought I was just dating you for fun."
In Shen's father's eyes, Jiang Xilin didn't have much: family background, status, money, and power, and what he had was too useless. For example, he had a good appearance and good grades.
He is too young and his achievements are just vague numbers.
Shen Congyu was raised as an only child, even though she had a stepmother and a half-brother at home. She was beautiful, proud, and younger than Jiang Xilin, so it was unexpected that Shen's father looked down on her.
But Shen's father thought that with Shen Congyu's personality, she just liked Jiang Xilin's appearance at most and wanted to satisfy her curiosity, but the relationship wouldn't last long.
Without enough material to satisfy her and making her suffer, how long can she hold on?
Later, Father Shen did not strictly control their relationship.
He never expected that Shen Congyu would escape from his control later, and when she reached the age, she would register for marriage with Jiang Xilin without his knowledge.
By the time he found out, they had been living together like a married couple for quite some time.
Shen's father couldn't believe it, and first confirmed the truth to Shen Congyu. Then he was angry and collapsed. He almost hit Shen Congyu, but in the end he just said some harsh words.
Chen Congyu naturally didn't listen. Although she was in a bad temper at that time, she would think before doing anything.
She thought carefully about getting the marriage certificate with Jiang Xilin and knew what she would face.
Father Shen began to cut off her living expenses to see how long she could live in hardship with Jiang Xilin.
It was really hard. Although Chen Congyu was still a student at the time, she was used to being supported at home, and her ability to spend money was not something an ordinary office worker could afford.
Not to mention that Jiang Xilin had just graduated and started working officially at the time. He single-handedly paid for all the expenses of the two of them living together, and did not let Shen Congyu work a single day.
Apart from attending classes, Chen Congyu spends the rest of her time either in the library or at home. She consciously abandons all unnecessary activities such as eating, drinking and having fun.
She felt okay when she was in it. Jiang Xilin took great care of her, and she didn't have to do anything except study.
She knew that Jiang Xilin's condition would definitely get better in the future, and her life would be better when she graduated and got a job.
But why did they choose to divorce in the end?
"Do you remember the month before I filed for divorce? A project you were working on was accused of plagiarism, and the company suspended you pending an investigation. My dad arranged this."
Once I had said it, the rest of the content seemed to come more easily.
Of course Jiang Xilin remembered what she said.
He just didn't expect that it was related to Shen's father.
At that time, he provided his own evidence, but the company leader still asked him to go back and wait for the results. He thought the person who plagiarized him was the same. Only halfway through did he hear from his colleagues that the other party worked normally only because he had a background in the company.
So for the next half month, he was stuck in a limbo.
For him, he can afford to wait, but he still has a wife to support.
He went to the company several times, even to the leader's office several times, and finally the problem was resolved.
Jiang Xilin thought being dealt with was a normal outcome.
If Shen Congyu hadn't mentioned it today, he would never have known that it was related to Shen's father.
"I remember, but I didn't know it was your father who arranged it."
Chen Congyu laughed self-deprecatingly and continued, "It was him. His original intention was to accuse you of plagiarism. Not only would you lose your current job, but it would also be difficult for you to find a good job in the future. Not only would you be finished, but we would both be finished too."
Having said that, something is about to come out.
Jiang Xilin stared at her closely, not missing any change on her face.
He squeezed out a voice from the back of his throat, "So, how did he finally stop?"
Chen Congyu fell into memories, his throat tightened, and he said with difficulty: "He has many ways to destroy you, and ruining your reputation is just one of them. When I knew he was the one who caused this, I went to him, and his condition was that I divorce you. Otherwise, after this matter is over, he will let you have an accident one day and break your arms and legs. It's easy."
She opened her mouth and wanted to continue speaking, but only one word came out.
Jiang Xilin's gaze was too noticeable, and she found it difficult to face it calmly.
Besides, recalling the events of the past made her think about them again, something she had tried not to think about in the past few years.
Chen Congyu turned around with her back to Jiang Xilin, and her words drifted into Jiang Xilin's ears with the wind, shaking a little.
"I, I don't want to see you ruined, because you are very good to me, and I really like you. Moreover, I believe you will have a better future in the future. How can I let him ruin it? So... in the end I agreed to him."
She still remembers the day she parted with Jiang Xilin. The wind was very strong. Before she got in the car, Jiang Xilin caught up with her but was stopped by people arranged by Shen's father.
She looked at him, wanting him to go back, wanting him not to come forward again, otherwise those people would not show mercy.
The wind was really strong, blowing her hair into the air and covering her face. She raised her hand to brush it away and looked him in the eye clearly.
She no longer hesitated, and Jiang Xilin probably saw it, so she had a feeling that he would hate her as soon as she left.
Thinking of those scenes, Chen Congyu closed his eyes.
The wind by the river was gentle. It was already August, but she still felt the chill.
She didn't dare to look at Jiang Xilin's reaction behind her, wondering what he was thinking at the moment.
But Jiang Xilin didn't let her wait too long.
He said: "It's just these contents, why wait until now to say it?"
Shen Congyu took a few deep breaths and regained his normal state, “I can’t get rid of my dad. You are with me, so you will encounter so many troubles.”
"Is this what you should say?" Jiang Xilin's voice fluctuated noticeably. "You've always just been happy for yourself. Who asked you to sacrifice yourself?"
