Chapter 43 Looking for Someone
Jiang Xilin came out of the bathroom, and the room was empty, which made Shen Congyu's words tonight seem empty.
He sneered at the air and picked up his pajamas to change.
While buttoning his shirt, the bedroom door was opened from the outside. Jiang Xilin keenly heard the noise and turned his head to look, and his eyes met Shen Congyu's.
Chen Congyu held a cup in his hand, which was still steaming.
Without waiting for him to ask, she took the initiative to explain: "I went to make some sobering tea, you can drink some later."
Chen Congyu didn't say more caring words, for fear that Jiang Xilin would not believe it, and the more he said, the more mistakes he would make.
She walked over with the cup and noticed his open collar, revealing his fair and firm chest. She glanced at him quickly and placed the hangover tea on his bedside.
Jiang Xilin had a headache and looked unhappy. He changed into his pajamas and said to her, "You can go now."
Chen Congyu pointed at the cup and said, "I'll wait until you finish drinking before leaving."
What she did tonight seemed abnormal to Jiang Xilin, no matter how she explained it.
Normally he would be willing to play with her, but tonight he wasn't in the mood.
So he spoke very coldly, "If you want to wait, go out and wait. Don't be an eyesore here."
Chen Congyu's temper as a young lady has been almost completely polished away in the past few years, so she can quickly adjust her mood and say "OK".
When leaving the bedroom, don't forget to close the door for him.
The house has good sound insulation. Once the door is closed, Jiang Xilin can't hear any movement outside.
I think she has reached her limit and it will be time for her to leave.
Jiang Xilin turned off the lights and ignored it.
After a night's rest, Jiang Xilin's biological clock woke him up at the appointed time. He followed the same routine as usual, washing and changing clothes. If he hadn't accidentally glanced at the cup on the bedside, he would have forgotten that Chen Congyu had said so much in a dream last night.
At 8:15, Jiang Xilin walked out of the bedroom and went downstairs on time. However, as the stairs disappeared, the scene in the living room was exposed before his eyes.
The curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows were drawn, and there was little light in the living room. Chen Congyu slept on the sofa.
Jiang Xilin walked over with light steps, but Shen Congyu showed no signs of waking up.
I don’t know if it was because she slept too late last night or slept uneasily on the sofa, but there are faint dark circles under her eyes.
But now I am sleeping soundly.
There was heating in the living room, so she covered herself with her coat and fell asleep in such a casual manner, seemingly not minding.
Jiang Xilin stood beside the sofa, staring at her silently for a long time, until Yuan An came to pick him up as usual and sent him a message.
The prompt sounded briefly but did not wake up Shen Congyu.
Jiang Xilin stopped looking at her and went out with his coat.
When getting in the car, Yuan An casually asked, "Brother Jiang, why is the car you drove out yesterday parked in the yard?"
Jiang Xilin looked over and thought of how Chen Congyu drove the car back slowly last night. Thinking of this, he thought of her figure lying on the sofa.
Slender and thin.
Some of them look unhealthy.
Chen Congyu was similar to other young girls a few years ago. She paid attention to maintaining her figure. She was rich, so she would try to lose weight if she gained a pound or two.
But even if I tried to lose weight at that time, I wouldn't be as slim as I am now.
The original case didn't get an answer for a long time and looked at Jiang Xilin in the rearview mirror.
Jiang Xilin pressed his brows and stopped thinking about things related to Chen Congyu.
He said briefly: “Chen Congyu drove it back last night.”
Yuan An nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and drove out.
After a long silence, Yuan An heard Jiang Xilin ask, "What's going on with Chen Congyu's husband recently?"
He asked, and then the original story was revealed.
Because of the arrangements in recent years, someone would regularly report the situation over there to the country and report it to the original case, who would then pass it on when Jiang Xilin asked.
The latest news has also come in.
The original case briefly described the chaotic situation in Chen Yao's home and concluded by saying, "He seems to be looking for someone recently."
Jiang Xilin couldn't help but think of the topic that Shen Congyu mentioned last night about Chen Yao.
He chewed repeatedly, "Looking for someone?"
"Yes, but the news is very secretive. He doesn't seem to want anyone to know about it, so the people he sent out to look for him are more restrained."
Talking about this, Yuan An couldn't help but make associations in his mind.
He didn't say anything and waited for Jiang Xilin's follow-up.
But after waiting for a long time, Jiang Xilin suddenly disappeared.
Normally, one would guess that the person Chen Yao was looking for was Chen Congyu.
One of them stayed in Haicheng to work, while the other was secretly looking for someone abroad. It didn't seem right at all.
The original case thought Jiang Xilin would say something.
There was no follow-up, and the original case drove seriously, but soon he thought of something wrong.
Xue Mingrui borrowed a large sum of money from him. She had never done this before, and she had been so close to Shen Congyu recently...
The original case hesitated whether to mention this matter to Jiang Xilin.
But he also knew that if Xue Mingrui's lack of money was really related to Chen Congyu, she would definitely not want him to tell Jiang Xilin.
The original case was caught between Xue Mingrui and Jiang Xilin. He wanted to bring it up, but then swallowed it again, over and over again.
After driving all the way to the destination, Jiang Xilin got off the car.
Yuan An took a step forward and blurted out, "There's something I'm not sure if I should tell you."
Jiang Xilin stopped and waited for him, "What's wrong?"
At this point, the original case was still told.
"I don't know what Ruirui has been doing lately. She seems to be very short of money and asked me to borrow a large sum of money."
…
Chen Congyu left No. 118 Jinghu without any further contact with Jiang Xilin.
She didn't know how much Jiang Xilin believed her after her performance.
She didn't have much time to analyze the situation. She already knew that Jiang Xilin wouldn't help her. Now she just needed him to relax a little.
Everywhere you look on the streets, they are decorated with lively and festive new clothes to welcome the New Year.
Chen Congyu hasn't felt such a strong New Year atmosphere for several years.
Needless to say, when she was abroad, a few years ago, when she was dating Jiang Xilin, probably because they were young, she liked celebrating the New Year and other festivals.
Especially when I am with Jiang Xilin, I feel like I am accompanying each other and going through a new life that is different from the past.
Although the amount of money spent on New Year's goods has been reduced again and again, Jiang Xilin is a man who is very suitable for home life. He can always create the same atmosphere as others with limited resources.
Compared to going back to the Shen family to see Fang Ya and Shen You, Shen Congyu prefers to spend the New Year with Jiang Xilin.
Even if they live in a small house of fifty or sixty square meters and don't have big meals, the house will be decorated very warmly. He will cook a table of delicious food, and then they will watch TV on the sofa while hugging each other, and go downstairs to set off fireworks.
She almost always sits back and enjoys the experience.
Even the fireworks were prepared by Jiang Xilin for her, and she went to play with them.
He was watching over her.
Finally, her hands and feet were cold. Jiang Xilin opened his down jacket and wrapped her in his arms, and went home together.
Chen Congyu felt the warmth of home at that time.
Now, it is out of reach again.
