Chapter 280 Don’t Like Others
In fact, Chen Congyu rarely heard Jiang Xilin express his feelings so directly.
Besides, she was not mentally prepared.
When I heard it suddenly, my heart skipped a beat and my ears felt slightly hot.
She struggled, but couldn't break free.
"You're really patient. Are you satisfied watching me text and call you?"
Jiang Xilin said without hesitation: "No, I don't think so."
He didn't hide it. "I rarely check my phone, but when I saw you contacting me, I was very happy. But then I thought, maybe you were contacting me on behalf of Ruirui. So I held back. The only time I contacted you was on Chinese New Year, but you didn't answer."
Chen Congyu's thoughts were complicated, but she was also angry with him, so there was a deliberate element in her words.
Said: "How could I know that someone who disappeared for so long would suddenly call me?"
"I'm sorry. One of the reasons I haven't made any movement is that I'm worried about getting you involved and putting you in danger."
He didn't seem tired and kept talking to her while bending over and hugging her.
Every word and every sentence was very close, drilling straight into Chen Congyu's ears.
"Is this the excuse you gave yourself?"
Jiang Xilin said a little panicked: "No. You should be able to see the news in a while."
In fact, Shen Congyu believed that he was really trapped by difficult things.
She pushed him again and said, "Let me go."
"Just give me a chance to explain it to you, okay?"
Chen Congyu said: "If I don't give it to you, you're not going to let me go?"
Jiang Xilin relaxed his strength.
He then stood up straight and watched Chen Congyu open the door. He did not move. He wanted to follow in, but was still considering whether Chen Congyu would let him in.
Shen Congyu put down her bag, changed into slippers, and looked back at the man who was staring at her. She felt complicated and was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Come in and talk."
She wanted to know what kind of trouble he was in, whether there were any changes to the original case, and why he suddenly changed his mind and said that he missed her.
Two months is not a long time, but the scene of the two of them sitting together and talking again seemed strange.
Chen Congyu lowered his eyelids and listened to him briefly describe the troubles he encountered in Xingcheng.
Generally speaking, some people in the Jiang family did not welcome his "joining", especially after the New Year when Mr. Jiang announced in front of everyone in the Jiang family that he would give Jiang Xilin and Jiang Jingxun the same shares.
You know, among the current grandchildren of the Jiang family, Jiang Qunqing holds the most shares. Others have no objection to this, after all, he is the one who supports half of the Jiang family.
The next highest number was Jiang Jingxun. Initially, he was just like everyone else except Jiang Qunqing, but the extra money he gained later was the result of his sheer effort over the years. He was second only to Jiang Qunqing.
Now, Jiang Xilin neither works for the Jiang family nor is he a "newcomer" who was just recognized not long ago. Suddenly, he has the same status as Jiang Jingxun. Who can stand this?
Wouldn't he surpass Jiang Jingxun and be on par with Jiang Qunqing in the future?
When the news was announced, some people raised questions.
It was Mr. Jiang who made the decision and said that this was the first New Year gift Jiang Xilin had given him after so many years away from home.
Who dares to be Mr. Jiang’s home?
So Jiang Xilin became a thorn in the eyes of others.
Perhaps even if the old man didn't do this, someone would want to prepare for a rainy day, because within a few days, Jiang Xilin encountered considerable trouble.
This definitely wasn't planned in just a few days. It must have been planned in advance.
"I went to Star City shortly after New Year's Day. I had already made preparations from the beginning, letting Xiwen and... Yuan'an stay here. However, something unexpected happened later, and the situation became complicated, so it took so long."
Jiang Xilin's voice was a little dejected, because he had never expected that the original case would go wrong and end up in his life.
Shen Congyu heard from the police and Yan Zhao that the original case did not happen in Haicheng at first. He went out of town to handle his personal affairs, and the incident happened when he just returned to Haicheng.
"If I had come back earlier, or let Yuan'an follow me to Haicheng, maybe he would be fine." Jiang Xilin was still in a daze when he mentioned Yuan'an.
After just a few dozen days of not seeing each other, the person is gone.
Over the years, Yuan An has been just like his family, except that now he has to experience the pain of losing his family again.
Jiang Xilin took a sip of tea. This was the first time in more than two months that he told everything.
Chen Congyu's mood was also depressed by him. Now it seemed that in the face of life and death, everything became insignificant.
It was precisely because of this realization that Shen Congyu re-examined the relationship between her and Jiang Xilin from another perspective.
She still comforted him, "You are not a prophet. Who can predict what will happen next? You don't need to blame yourself for this."
The departure of people around us is like the dark clouds that always exist above our heads. When we think of them occasionally, a wet rain will fall.
In fact, she and Jiang Xilin were similar, having experienced it early on as well.
Jiang Xilin didn't want the atmosphere to be too gloomy, so he took the initiative to change the subject.
"I can't show up too much recently."
Chen Congyu asked: "Then why did you suddenly appear tonight?"
Jiang Xilin looked at her directly and said, "I want to see you, but I have concerns, so sometimes I just watch you from afar."
Inexplicably, Chen Congyu thought of the same car.
"Did you drive with me?"
Jiang Xilin felt a little apologetic, but did not deny it.
"Forgive me..."
"What about today? Why aren't you being quiet today?"
Jiang Xilin said: "I heard you make a phone call after you got off the bus. You said you have someone you like now."
There was a hint of hidden anxiety in his eyes, and he asked her, "...Who is it?"
Chen Congyu didn't speak.
Jiang Xilin: "Can't you tell me?"
Chen Congyu then said: "I was just talking nonsense. My colleague wanted to introduce me to a boyfriend, and I couldn't refuse, so I said that."
Jiang Xilin didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy.
When he heard Chen Congyu say that he had someone he liked, his first reaction was to want to know who it was, and then he couldn't help but fantasize that there was a slight possibility that she was talking about him.
Now that Shen Congyu said it was just a nonsense excuse on her part, he felt relieved but also anxiously eager.
This distorted state prompted him to speak: "Don't like others."
