Chapter 276 Can't Do It
Chen Congyu did not leave Yuan's house for a moment. Xue Mingrui wanted to talk to Yuan An's parents, so Chen Congyu waited for her.
It was stuffy inside, so she went to the yard to get some fresh air.
The rain had stopped, but it seemed that because she had heard too much crying not long ago, the low sobs kept ringing in her ears.
The sky has fallen on a family, and the world is unpredictable, leaving people completely immersed in sorrow.
Chen Congyu thought about it and sighed, not knowing what to do next.
Behind the shadowy tree in the corner of the yard, a figure appeared, staring at Chen Congyu with a clear purpose.
Everything around was foggy and people looked so depressed.
Not long after, Shen Congyu received a call, and his standing position changed. He glanced at a blurry figure not far away and caught a glimpse of a leaving figure.
She didn't see clearly who it was, and was distracted for a moment when she was brought back to her senses by the voice of a colleague on the phone.
After answering the phone, Xue Mingrui came over. Her eyes were red and swollen, and it was obvious that she had been crying for a long time.
She said in a muffled voice, "Sister Cong Yu, why don't you go back first? Auntie asked me to accompany her, and I can't refuse."
Shen Congyu looked at her face carefully, making sure that she was still relatively calm, and then left alone.
Xue Mingrui walked her outside, and on his way back, he suddenly stopped in the yard and turned his head to look somewhere. She was first surprised, then shocked, and finally tears welled up in her eyes.
"Jiang..."
Xue Mingrui choked up after she uttered a single word, unable to speak. She hurried over, fearing she had misread the situation.
Jiang Xilin stood there waiting for her to come over. Looking at her collapsed expression, his brows furrowed and he touched her head.
Xue Mingrui fought back tears, trembling with fear as he breathlessly said, "Jiang, Jiang Ge... where have you been? Do you know... the original case? Why did he do this?... I really can't accept it."
"It was an accident. I didn't expect it... I'm sorry."
Not only Xue Mingrui couldn't accept it, but Jiang Xilin too.
He took Xue Mingrui into an empty room nearby. Xue Mingrui couldn't stop crying, and he waited patiently for her to calm down.
Xue Mingrui cried for a long time, and only a bit of rationality remained. He wiped his face clean bit by bit and looked at Jiang Xilin with a hint of resentment.
"Brother Jiang, what have you been doing? Do you know how worried I am about you? Are you okay?"
Jiang Xilin: "It will take some time for me to come back. I'm fine now. I'm sorry to have worried you."
Xue Mingrui only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was fine.
She sobbed and said, "Not only am I worried about you, Sister Cong Yu is also worried about you. We both went to Xingcheng to look for you, worried that something had happened to you..."
"I'm sorry, I didn't contact you because there are so many things involved." Jiang Xilin didn't look very well. He must have had a hard time these days. Now with the death of the original case, the blow he suffered was no less than Xue Mingrui's.
He pinched his eyebrows before continuing, “Chen Congyu, I’m going to accompany you to Star City, right?”
"Although I said to let her accompany me, I feel like she wants to see you too."
Jiang Xilin paused, then smiled faintly and said, "She probably doesn't want to see me."
Having said that, Xue Mingrui still sensed a hint of bitterness in his smile.
She said directly, "No, Sister Cong Yu was also very worried about you. At the beginning, she even asked someone to inquire about your movements. When I talked to her about you, she also wanted to know. She is definitely not like what you said."
Xue Mingrui then asked: "Brother Jiang, you can meet with me, why don't you show up when Sister Cong Yu is here?"
"When I saw her for the last time years ago, I realized that she didn't want me to appear in front of her often. She didn't like being forced."
"Then you can try another way. You don't have to completely avoid seeing each other like you do now."
Jiang Xilin said nothing.
But he knew in his heart that as long as he appeared in front of Shen Congyu and saw her, he would not be able to remain calm like his friend.
Rather than pretending to be harmonious for a while, only to reveal their true feelings in the end and end up parting on bad terms, he thought it would be better to refrain from meeting for the time being.
Wait until he has resolved the restless factors around him, and then see if he can accept the choice he made.
