Chapter 265: Something
I don't know if it was Mr. Shen's special instructions, or if the others were busy at noon, but in any case, not many people came to the old house for dinner today. Apart from Fang Ya and Shen You, there were only Mr. Shen and Shen Congyu's aunt.
This is good, Shen Congyu is too lazy to deal with other people in the Shen family.
She and Jiang Xilin appeared in front of everyone arm in arm. Everyone looked very happy. Fang Ya asked them to sit down, and the seats they took were closer to Old Man Shen than her own.
Chen Congyu called people as usual and heard Fang Ya say: "The old man has been waiting for you and postponed the meal time specially for you."
If Jiang Xilin hadn't been there, Shen Congyu would have been scolded by now for being half an hour late.
Old man Shen didn't lose his temper. Instead, he asked Jiang Xilin about his well-being, as if he wanted to win over those who he had not been able to win over before.
It's a pity that Jiang Xilin and Shen Congyu are the same type of people. What's more, if Shen Congyu doesn't like something, he can only pretend to be like her.
Moving from the living room to the dining room, they had the best seats, and Fang Ya and Shen You were relegated to the position of accompanying guests.
Chen Congyu didn't say much. These people knew her temper well and didn't feel uncomfortable in such an occasion.
So basically, it was all said to Jiang Xilin.
Jiang Xilin responded while peeling the shrimp and putting it on Shen Congyu's plate, motioning her to eat.
In front of so many pairs of eyes, Chen Congyu looked at him for a few seconds and had to accept it.
During the next meal, Jiang Xilin handed her things from time to time, such as tissues or food. He didn't do it on purpose, but more like he noticed and gave her a hand.
At least that's definitely the case in the eyes of others.
Shen Congyu silently stepped on his feet under the table and said, "I'm done eating." Jiang Xilin didn't move, letting her step on him, and handed her a wet wipe, "Wipe it."
Chen Congyu took it and glared at Jiang Xilin from an angle where no one else could see.
Jiang Xilin's face was still gentle.
Because it was lunch, the old man probably thought that Jiang Xilin had something to do in the afternoon, so he didn't let him drink, and the meal didn't last too long.
After dinner, when the other three were gone, Old Man Shen suddenly said to Jiang Xilin while drinking tea, "You two have been together for quite some time. Cong Yu is not like other girls. She is opinionated and independent, and she may also have a temper. You two have been able to get along so well, so you must have understood each other."
When he said this, Shen Congyu immediately realized what he meant. He simply wanted to use this opportunity to test Jiang Xilin's attitude and see if he could tie him up tighter.
She glanced at Jiang Xilin, wanting him to just listen and not take the old man's words seriously.
Jiang Xilin saw her gesture, but his response was not as perfunctory as she thought.
I chatted with Old Man Shen for quite a while.
In the end, she really didn't want to listen to this kind of topic, so she pulled Jiang Xilin's arm and exerted force secretly.
She said to Old Man Shen, "He has a meeting in an hour, so we'll leave first."
It was said that Jiang Xilin had something to do and no one dared to stop him.
Chen Congyu held Jiang Xilin's arm until they got in the car. As soon as the door closed, she immediately withdrew her hand.
Jiang Xilin looked down at the place where she had just touched, and saw a faint red mark.
He raised an eyebrow and said, "Isn't it a bit too quick to change your attitude?"
Chen Congyu: "If I hadn't done this, you would still be chatting with my grandfather about those random things."
"How can you call it nothing?"
"Don't you understand what he means? He wants me to catch you right away and not let you go. He would be even happier if we could get engaged in a month and married in two months."
Chen Congyu didn't believe that he didn't know.
Jiang Xilin was still pretending, "If possible, I would like to do the same."
"Don't let yourself get caught up in the acting."
Jiang Xilin suddenly stopped smiling and said in a serious tone, "You know exactly what I'm thinking. You don't need to remind me."
Sometimes he pretends to be confused, and so does Chen Congyu.
