Chapter 39 Whereabouts
Jiang Xilin and Duan Ke left the hotel together. It was getting late, so the driver sent Duan Ke away first.
When he arrived at Duan's house, Jiang Xilin was invited in by Duan's father to talk.
Until now, Duan's father is very satisfied with Jiang Xilin. Today at the opening ceremony of the hotel, Duan's father heard others asking when Jiang Xilin and Duan Ke would get engaged. He said that he had no say in the matter, but he still had his own selfish calculations in his heart.
Of course, their family wanted Jiang Xilin and Duan Ke to settle down. After all, Jiang Xilin had received help from the Duan family in the beginning. Now that he was getting better and better, how could he forget the Duan family? If something unexpected happened in the future, wouldn't Duan Ke be at a great loss?
There were no outsiders here today, so Mr. Duan brought up the matter directly.
Duan Ke and Jiang Xilin looked at each other. Their families didn't know their true situation.
She took the initiative to say, "Xilin is busy now, so we can talk about the engagement later. Besides, our relationship has always been good, so there's no rush to use engagement to solidify it."
Mr. Duan looked at her with dissatisfaction, obviously disagreeing with her pushing the opportunity away.
However, in front of Jiang Xilin, he only said tactfully: "Just because you have a good relationship doesn't mean there aren't other women out there who want to interfere. In this world of flowers and glitter, it's better to be stable. Your mother and I are old, and we just want to live a simple life."
Duan Ke was about to continue speaking, but Jiang Xilin pressed her arm.
He said to Duan's father in a humble manner, "Uncle is right. I will seriously consider it and discuss it with Xiao Ke. Don't worry, I won't treat Xiao Ke unfairly."
In fact, what Mr. Duan wanted was a clear attitude from Jiang Xilin. He couldn't force anything, but fortunately, he was still satisfied with Jiang Xilin's answer.
"Okay, okay, I feel relieved with your words. I know I didn't make a mistake. You and Xiao Ke, just be good to each other."
Jiang Xilin smiled and continued to play chess and chat with Duan's father for a while.
Finally, Duan Ke said that Jiang Xilin had been very busy recently and had drunk alcohol in the evening, so he asked him to go back and rest early, and only then did Duan's father let him go.
Father Duan smiled and shook his head, "Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up, Xilin, our Xiao Ke really treats you well."
Duan Ke glanced at Jiang Xilin and asked the servant to help his father upstairs to rest. "I'll go see Xilin off."
Everyone can see that Mr. Duan is in a good mood.
Jiang Xilin and Duan Ke walked into the yard. Duan Ke said, "Don't take my dad's words to heart. I will talk to him later."
The yard was quiet, and Jiang Xilin's voice was calm, "It's okay, I understand."
He stopped and said, "You go in. It's cold outside. No need to see me off."
The car was waiting outside. Duan Ke didn't wear a coat. She nodded and said, "Then go back and get some rest."
Jiang Xilin watched her go in, turned around and walked out, and ran into Hu Zi's car coming back.
Hu Zi got out of the car, greeted Jiang Xilin, and explained, "I brought Zhen Zhen back. She fell asleep in the car."
"Um."
Hu Zi thought he was leaving, but Jiang Xilin suddenly called him.
"Brother Jiang, is there anything else?"
Jiang Xilin's figure was blurred under the streetlight, but his words were clearly heard by Hu Zi: "Are you familiar with Chen Congyu?"
Hu Zi was stunned. He really didn't expect him to ask this.
He didn't think much about it and just said, "We're not very familiar with each other. We just added each other on WeChat today."
"Don't go near her."
Hu Zi was even more confused, "Why?"
Jiang Xilin's gaze fell heavily on his face. "It's because of you that Duan Zhen has been dissatisfied with Shen Congyu time and time again, causing all those unnecessary things. Don't you know?"
"I," Hu Zi thought about it and it seemed to be true, "I didn't expect Zhen Zhen to be like that. I will tell her."
"You know her character. Talking to her will only backfire."
Jiang Xilin continued to ask slowly, "Do you want Duan Zhen to get into trouble with others because of your approach?"
Hu Zi: "I don't want to be like this, but it's my freedom to make friends with whomever I want."
Jiang Xilin smiled lightly, "That's true, but Duan Zhen is your good friend. With her around, she will only target people she doesn't like, and you can't help her."
Through the car window glass, Jiang Xilin was not worried that Duan Zhen in the car would hear him.
Hu Zi fell silent. He was not a sensitive person. If Jiang Xilin hadn't said that, he might not have been able to react.
If compared with Duan Zhen, he was indeed not that interested in Chen Congyu.
"I understand, Brother Jiang. I will pay more attention next time. I'm sorry for causing you trouble these times."
Hu Zi thought that the purpose of Jiang Xilin saying this to him was that Duan Zhen would embarrass Shen Congyu on his territory tonight, so he apologized to Jiang Xilin.
Jiang Xilin patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go."
…
As the year draws to a close, Jiang Xilin has more things to do, and Shen Congyu feels it most clearly. She hasn't seen him for a while, and she herself has been very busy recently.
On his day off, Xue Mingrui came to visit her and received a call from Wen Song on the way.
Chen Congyu and Wen Song agreed that they would only call to talk about important matters related to Chen Yao.
So when he saw Wen Song's call, Shen Congyu said something to Xue Mingrui and went to the bedroom to answer it.
"Songsong, what happened?"
Wen Song's tone sounded a little tired. "I'm sorry, some news about Chen Yao leaked out from me."
Chen Congyu's eyelids twitched, and she clasped her fingers together, "What's going on?"
"My family recently decided to get me engaged. I told you before that I saved a younger brother. In order to force me to cancel the engagement, he told Chen Yao that I was helping you. I didn't have time to stop him."
Chen Congyu had heard Wen Song save a handsome young man, and that the two had lived together for a while. She hadn't thought much of it until she heard he was the only child of a wealthy family.
It is unclear what happened afterwards. Now Wen Song said that the other party did not want her to get engaged to another man, so in order to force her, he reached some kind of cooperation with Chen Yao who happened to come to them.
Unfortunately, Chen Congyu's whereabouts were discovered by Chen Yao.
Wen Song felt very sorry and guilty, "Because of me, your current news has been leaked. I will do my best to help you hide it from Chen Yao."
Chen Congyu's mind was in turmoil, but Wen Song couldn't be blamed for this. "I don't blame you. You've helped me a lot and helped me delay it for so long. I didn't plan to hide it from Chen Yao for long."
She knew Chen Yao's character well. He had been using various methods to find her, and it was only a matter of time before he would find her.
Wen Song was in a low mood. "But don't worry, Chen Yao's family has been in a mess recently. He definitely can't leave, so he can extend your stay for a while."
Chen Congyu agreed and comforted Wen Song not to take it too seriously, as she was already very grateful to her.
As Chen Congyu was speaking, there was a rustling sound from Wen Song's side, followed by a loud and crisp sound, as if someone was slapped.
Chen Congyu frowned worriedly: “Song Song?”
"...It's okay, I was the one who hit someone." Wen Song exhaled. "Anyway, I'll let you know if there's any progress here. I'll also keep an eye on the dog next to me, so be careful."
