Chapter 48 A Special Woman
Xue Mingrui was frightened from the bottom of his heart when he thought about seeing Jiang Xilin tonight.
She admired Shen Congyu very much for being able to face such a Jiang Xilin.
If it were her, she would have a mental breakdown.
Thinking of this, Xue Mingrui didn't want to let Shen Congyu go to find Jiang Xilin alone.
"If I accompany you, I will at least persuade Brother Jiang not to embarrass you."
She didn't know what Jiang Xilin was thinking, so she couldn't help but think it was simple.
Chen Congyu: "No, I don't want to affect your friendship of so many years."
"Brother Jiang is my friend, and you are my friend too! You are both equally important to me. If I can help but don't help you, I will feel very uneasy!"
"I know, I know. You helped me get the money together, that's awesome. I'm so grateful. You helped me enough."
But she will leave Haicheng afterwards and can just walk away and never see Jiang Xilin again. Xue Mingrui is still Jiang Xilin's friend for many years, and she doesn't want to implicate Xue Mingrui.
Shen Congyu persuaded Xue Mingrui well, and finally promised to tell her the result in time. Only then did Xue Mingrui let her go to find Jiang Xilin alone.
Putting down the phone, Chen Congyu stared at the ceiling in a daze.
What does it mean that plans cannot keep up with changes? I originally thought that tonight would at least be a peaceful night, but the unexpected happened in an instant.
Closing her eyes, all that appeared before Shen Congyu's eyes was Jiang Xilin's appearance.
Xue Mingrui said that she had never seen Jiang Xilin look so scary, and she felt the same way.
Jiang Xilin was a little different tonight than usual.
Whether it was the peaceful coexistence between the two at the beginning, or the tit-for-tat after the money-raising matter was exposed.
However, Chen Congyu didn't figure out what the difference was.
…
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Xilin returned to his hometown in the morning and was about to go to the Duan family at noon. On the way, he received a call from Yuan An.
"Brother Jiang, Happy New Year, are you busy?"
"Happy New Year. Driving, what's up?"
Original Case: "I discovered that Chen Congyu had resigned two days ago. Did you know about this?"
Jiang Xilin tightened his grip on the steering wheel, "I know."
"Why did she suddenly want to resign?"
Thinking that Shen Congyu could take this job, how could she quit after working for so long? The reason why Yuan An called Jiang Xilin was to find out if something had happened.
Jiang Xilin said: "She didn't come to the hotel to work voluntarily."
Now that he has gathered enough money, he has quit. He probably doesn't want to have anything to do with him.
"So, should we approve her resignation application?"
"No," Jiang Xilin said without any expression, "Tell the people at the hotel that Chen Congyu will not be paid if he leaves now."
I originally wanted to say that this was against the rules, but then I thought, Jiang Xilin understood it, so he must have another purpose.
So the original case was agreed.
Jiang Xilin stayed at Duan's house for lunch at noon. He didn't show up last night. Duan Ke explained the situation to his family. He was there for work and no one could say anything to him.
Isn't this the first day? The Duan family was still very happy and pulled Jiang Xilin to drink.
Duan Zhen came back halfway and was immediately unhappy when she saw Jiang Xilin and Duan Ke, but she didn't dare show it too obviously in front of her elders.
Duan Zhen wanted to go upstairs directly, but was stopped by Duan's mother. "Why don't you say hello when you meet someone? How rude!"
Duan Zhen and Duan Ke had friction because of Jiang Xilin, but their family members were unaware of it.
So Duan Zhen had to call him Duan Ke obediently, and reluctantly uttered the vague word "brother-in-law" to Jiang Xilin.
Then he ran straight upstairs.
Duan's mother scolded him, "Doesn't this child usually like to stick to his sister and brother-in-law the most?"
Duan Ke glanced at Jiang Xilin and said, "Mom, don't call me brother-in-law. We haven't gotten married yet."
"Why should I be afraid of this? Isn't it just a matter of time?"
As Duan's mother said this, she still looked at Jiang Xilin. Seeing that he said nothing and was drinking tea quietly, her attitude became more certain.
She left Duan Ke and Jiang Xilin alone.
Duan Ke poured tea for Jiang Xilin and said embarrassedly: "My dad was in a good mood during the New Year, and he was even happier to see you. So he didn't notice and asked you to drink more. Don't mind it."
Jiang Xilin's eyes were a little red because Duan's father drank white wine with a strong alcohol content with him, and he was a little tipsy.
He pinched his brows, his voice slightly hoarse, "It's okay, I understand."
"Have you had too much to drink? Do you want to go upstairs and rest for a while?" Duan Ke asked carefully, "Isn't there anything to do tonight?"
"No, I'll sit here for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xilin's cell phone rang.
He looked at Shen Congyu's name on the screen, and his brows furrowed again.
Duan Ke asked: "What's wrong? Who's looking for you?"
Jiang Xilin just said: "Nothing, I just need to take a call."
Duan Ke fell silent and continued to brew the tea in his hand.
She thought it was just an ordinary call, but she noticed something was wrong with Jiang Xilin's tone, cold and hard, which instantly drew her attention.
And Chen Congyu was looking for Jiang Xilin at this time because of the house. She couldn't wait and even wanted to go to No. 118 Jinghu to find him.
Jiang Xilin knocked on the sofa and said, "No." when Shen Congyu asked him if he was home.
Chen Congyu asked again: "When can you come back?"
"Five o'clock."
Duan Ke looked at Jiang Xilin.
Shen Congyu said: "Okay, I understand."
She didn't say what she wanted to do with him, but she knew very well that it was not a good thing to say some things too clearly.
After confirming that Jiang Xilin could go back at five o'clock, Chen Congyu didn't say much and hung up directly.
Duan Ke finally spoke: "Are you going back at five o'clock?"
"No."
"Then you just..."
Duan Ke stopped talking midway.
Jiang Xilin had no intention of explaining to her. He drank the tea in his hand and asked, "Where's Uncle Duan? The last chess game isn't over yet. Didn't he say he wanted to continue when he's free?"
Duan Ke took him to see Duan's father, and after settling him down, she walked out of the study.
She was a little concerned about the call Jiang Xilin received.
Because she could clearly feel that Jiang Xilin's attitude towards the other party was very special. She didn't hear what the other party said, but she could vaguely hear that it was a female voice.
This made her even more curious.
Duan Ke knew that she did not have enough control over Jiang Xilin's affairs. In fact, the two had broken up a long time ago, and she had no reason to control them openly.
Jiang Xilin didn't know that she was secretly curious about his every move.
In this regard, Duan Ke is not as good as Duan Zhen.
Duan Zhen is open and honest. She sticks to whoever she likes and asks questions and acts coquettishly with confidence. The advantage of this is that she doesn't have to guess.
After hesitating for a while, Duan Ke went to find Duan Zhen.
The two sisters haven't had a good conversation since they had a fight some time ago.
So when Duan Zhen saw Duan Ke knocking on the door, she was stunned for a moment and asked with a pout, "What for?"
"Have you ever seen any special women around Xilin?"
