Chapter 273: Unable to Rest in Peace
Chen Congyu quickly exchanged a glance with Xue Mingrui, and then she said calmly, "Yes, we'll come here and play for two days when we have time."
She briefly introduced Xue Mingrui and Jiang Qunqing to each other.
"So you're an old friend of Xilin's. By the way, at this hour, why don't you go sit in a nearby cafe? It's a welcome to Star City."
Jiang Qunqing did not mention Jiang Xilin's movements, but he must know what is going on in the Jiang family. Shen Congyu wanted to get some information from him.
After silently exchanging glances with Xue Mingrui, Chen Congyu agreed to Jiang Qunqing.
The two of them got into Jiang Qunqing's car, and the car slowly drove away from the gate of the Jiang family's villa. Behind a window somewhere on the second floor of the annex building, a slender figure emerged from behind the curtains. More figures followed Jiang Qunqing's car closely, until it disappeared.
In the coffee shop, Xue Mingrui casually mentioned Jiang Xilin to Jiang Qunqing, "Mr. Jiang, I heard that Brother Jiang came to Xingcheng, but I haven't been in touch with him recently. Do you know what he's been busy with recently?"
Xue Mingrui's face is very deceptive. She looks like a very well-behaved and honest girl, and it is hard to suspect that she has bad intentions.
It didn't seem like he was testing Jiang Qunqing at all.
Jiang Qunqing's eyes curved slightly behind his glasses as he said, "As for him, I saw him quite often last month. He also came to pay New Year's greetings to Grandpa during Chinese New Year. As for the rest, I didn't ask much and I don't know much."
He smiled and asked, "Are you here to ask Xilin to accompany you?"
Xue Mingrui said in the same tone, "Yes, I was thinking that he is more familiar with this place than Sister Cong Yu and I. If he is free, he can show us around. But if he is busy, then forget it."
She showed disappointment.
Jiang Qunqing looked at Chen Congyu, vaguely implying that Xue Mingrui was really as active as a little girl.
Chen Congyu tried to maintain a superficial smile, but still doubted the truthfulness of Jiang Qunqing's words.
Jiang Xilin's biggest connection in Xingcheng was the Jiang family. He had the closest relationship with Jiang Qunqing, so it was impossible for Jiang Qunqing to be unaware of anything going on.
Besides, what he meant was that he had no contact with Jiang Xilin after the New Year.
The person in front of her was not easy to fool, and Shen Congyu couldn't be sure whether he was someone Jiang Xilin absolutely trusted, so she couldn't speak directly.
After a while, Jiang Qunqing took the initiative to say to Shen Congyu: “Actually, when I saw you in there just now, I thought you came to Xingcheng to find Xilin.”
"I'm here to keep Ruirui company. It just so happens that I'm taking a break." She ignored her relationship with Jiang Xilin and explained, "Actually, Jiang Xilin and I have been friends at best for the past six months."
Jiang Qunqing nodded and smiled without saying anything.
Chen Congyu lowered her head to drink tea, avoiding his sight.
Not long after sitting down, Jiang Qunqing looked at his cell phone and then said he had to leave temporarily for something.
"Then go ahead and get busy. Thank you for your hospitality. We'll be back to the hotel later." Chen Congyu said.
Jiang Qunqing stood up and said, "If you need any help here, please feel free to contact me."
Chen Congyu just thought he was being polite.
The three of them separated at the door. After Jiang Qunqing left, Xue Mingrui's feigned smile disappeared, and he held Shen Congyu's hand, feeling a little uneasy.
"Sister Cong Yu, this person looks difficult to approach. Can you trust what he says?"
Chen Congyu intuitively felt that Jiang Qunqing was not unaware of the situation, but he was hiding it, either because he couldn't say it, which was unlikely, or because he didn't want them to know.
This situation made her even more uneasy.
"I can't believe it. We have no other way to pry open his mouth."
It rained at night, so the two of them didn't stay outside for too long. Inside the hotel room, Chen Congyu stood in front of the French window, looking at the rain outside, feeling a strong sense of powerlessness.
She had no choice.
She didn't want Jiang Xilin to be in front of her often before, but she didn't want the result like this either.
She still wanted to know, at least not to lose the connection completely.
