Chapter 40 Silence
After Chen Congyu finished the call and walked out of the bedroom, Xue Mingrui looked over and found that her face was as white as paper.
Xue Mingrui was startled, thinking something had happened, and hurriedly asked, "Sister Cong Yu, what's wrong?"
Chen Congyu was unaware and walked to the sofa, still immersed in the news that Chen Yao knew she was here.
If she was entangled with Jiang Xilin, then what Chen Yao brought to her was only pure fear and hatred.
Facing Xue Mingrui's worried face, Chen Congyu really didn't know where to start.
She heard herself speak in a hoarse voice, "Rui Rui, if I say I want to leave Jiang Xilin, will you help me?"
This news came as a surprise to Xue Mingrui.
After a few seconds of silence, Xue Mingrui asked, "You want to leave him? Did Brother Jiang do something to force you to stay with him?"
Chen Congyu shook his head, really hesitant about whether to say it.
Xue Mingrui thought she was not confident enough, so he made his attitude clear to her, "I will help you, really."
"Actually, it wasn't Jiang Xilin who forced me."
Chen Congyu told Xue Mingrui about the involvement between her and Jiang Xilin because of the tens of millions of dollars in the East Mansion.
"I didn't want to be entangled with him, so I thought if I could get the money together, it wouldn't have to be like this."
If she could get the house in Dong Mansion, she could leave Haicheng without any worries.
As long as before Chen Yao comes.
Neither Chen Congyu nor Wen Song were sure how long it would take for Chen Yao to reappear. The only thing they knew for sure was that Chen Yao's family was a well-known, century-old family in the local area, with strict family traditions. Chen Yao couldn't just leave casually. At least before the New Year, Chen Yao wouldn't have a chance.
Therefore, during this period before the New Year, Chen Congyu can rest assured for the time being, but he can only rest assured and cannot stop.
After listening to Shen Congyu's explanation of why she stayed with Jiang Xilin, Xue Mingrui was surprised, but quickly accepted it.
She had originally thought that there must be something going on between the two of them, otherwise, with Chen Congyu's attitude, how could she be willing.
"I'm willing to help you, but I don't have enough money." Xue Mingrui's family is not that poor. He owns a factory. In the past few years, the factory was barely doing well and could only make ends meet.
In recent years, as Jiang Xilin's career has developed, she has brought her family into the family, and things have been pretty good in the past two years.
But Xue Mingrui couldn't come up with such a sum of tens of millions at once.
"I'll help you find a solution. Give me some time and I should be able to get it together."
Chen Congyu could hardly breathe. She knew that this would cause great trouble to Xue Mingrui, but even if she was selfish just this once, what she owed Xue Mingrui was much better than what she owed Jiang Xilin.
She took out all her savings and said, "I probably have less than 10 million yuan. Ruirui, I owe you. If you think it's too much..."
Xue Mingrui held her hand and said, "Before, I didn't know what happened between you and Brother Jiang. If I had known earlier, I would have found a way to raise money to help you without you telling me. Because I know that if I put myself in your shoes and understand your difficulties and helplessness, I can't accept myself being in such an identity and position forever. So if I can help, I will definitely try my best to help you."
As he spoke of the latter part, Xue Mingrui's eyes became red. He didn't dare to think about how Shen Congyu had been spending this period of time and how much psychological pressure she must have been under.
"Don't say it's forced. The most important thing now is to end the agreement between you and Brother Jiang. Everything else can be solved slowly."
Xue Mingrui took this matter more seriously than Shen Congyu himself, and repeatedly mentioned how Jiang Xilin could make such a request.
Seeing her excited, crying, and puzzled reaction, Shen Congyu felt very warm in her heart, and wanted to cry more and more.
…
What Xue Mingrui meant was that he would rather Chen Congyu owe money than end the agreement signed with Jiang Xilin. The meanings of the two were too different.
Chen Congyu understood.
She thought about it and felt that everything that had happened so far was probably due to timing and luck, so at that time, she had no choice but to agree to Jiang Xilin.
Now she had to leave before Chen Yao came, but she greedily wanted to keep the house in Dong Mansion so that she could leave with peace of mind.
In order to buy a house, she had to raise money to resolve her relationship with Jiang Xilin.
All these things combined gave Shen Congyu a headache. She had to calculate the time to resign while at work. If Jiang Xilin knew about it too early, it would arouse his suspicion.
She became increasingly silent in the hotel.
Throughout the day, she was almost silent except for a few words from Yu Xin, who was closest to her.
Fortunately, Jiang Xilin still didn't look for her, allowing her to have a brief period of freedom.
However, in Jiang Xilin's hotel, it is common to hear people mention his name.
When Chen Congyu was eating in the lounge, she heard someone gossiping about Jiang Xilin and Duan Ke. She didn't pay attention at first, but as she listened, she understood some of the content.
"Didn't someone say before that Miss Duan's sister was too close to Mr. Jiang because she actually liked Mr. Jiang? It seems that Miss Duan and Mr. Jiang had a quarrel because of this a few days ago."
"Really? They have such a good relationship, and the other one is her biological sister. It must be a misunderstanding, right?"
"I'm not sure if there was a quarrel, but I'm sure it wasn't a misunderstanding. Miss Duan's sister came to live with us because she was angry. Miss Duan came to talk to her, but I don't know how the conversation turned out."
Yu Xin's voice joined in. She was also listening outside, "If this is true, there will definitely be a rift between Miss Duan and President Jiang."
Later their topic went off track and turned to which boss's wife came to the hotel to catch a cheating couple.
After chewing the food, Shen Congyu sent a message to Xue Mingrui to ask about the situation.
Two minutes later, Xue Mingrui replied: [It is true, but I don’t know the details of what Brother Jiang and Duan Ke talked about.]
Xue Mingrui: [Brother Jiang hasn't met Duan Ke in the past few days.]
Xue Mingrui knew all this because he had just asked the original case. The original case went out to answer the phone, and Xue Mingrui just wanted to tell Chen Congyu about the situation.
She had just finished talking to Shen Congyu when Yuan An came in again. She hurriedly asked, "What do you think about what I told you? Anyway, you never spend much money."
"Are you short of money recently?"
Xue Mingrui nodded and said, "There's something I really want to buy."
Yuan An frowned: "Do you need so many?"
"I won't look for you again if it's not much."
…
Before Shen Congyu got off work, the manager found her again and handed her the car keys - the car that Jiang Xilin often rode.
"Mr. Jiang asked you to send him back, he..."
The manager was about to explain where the driver had gone, but Shen Congyu had already taken the car keys.
He was quite surprised that Chen Congyu was so sensible now, unlike before when she was making excuses and hesitating, and thought she had learned her lesson.
After giving her a few reminders, he left.
Of course, Chen Congyu had a purpose.
She got into Jiang Xilin's car and waited quietly in the dark for him to appear.
Soon Jiang Xilin appeared. He didn't look drunk and everything was clear.
Only after he got in the car did Shen Congyu smell a faint smell of alcohol.
Her palms holding the steering wheel were so tense that they were wet.
