Chapter 54 True Feelings
Yuan An nodded, and reacted indifferently to Chen Congyu's open avoidance of Jiang Xilin.
He said, "But you really needed the money in the beginning, so even though you didn't want to be involved with Brother Jiang, you went anyway. Why are you suddenly using this excuse now?"
Yuan An is smart, otherwise Jiang Xilin would not have been good friends with him for so many years and kept him by his side to handle the most important things.
Chen Congyu was not surprised at all.
However, she still used the same sentence as before, but changed the meaning and answered the original question again.
Then he said, "I can't do anything without giving you a reason that you think makes sense, right?"
Original Case: "Of course that's not what I meant."
He took a sip of coffee and said, "I asked you out today, but Brother Jiang doesn't know yet. Because I think your behavior is very strange, and it doesn't make sense according to common sense. Brother Jiang is not available, so I will ask for him first."
"Oh, then just tell him exactly what I said."
After experiencing the failure of leaving and meeting Chen Yao again, Shen Congyu's mood has changed a little.
She couldn't hide her whereabouts from Chen Yao, just as she probably couldn't hide the true situation between her and Chen Yao.
She could only keep it a secret for as long as possible and make preparations as early as possible.
Yuan An added, "Rui Rui likes you very much. For her sake, I will only do what Brother Jiang tells me to do. I won't meddle in other people's business. You can rest assured about that."
Original Case: "I will tell Brother Jiang the truth that you must resign no matter what."
"Whatever you want."
"Then can you tell me, do you still have feelings for Brother Jiang?"
Shen Congyu didn't expect him to ask this.
She didn't react for a moment, then she lifted her hair, smiled, and said, "Have you forgotten how long he and I have been divorced? I have a husband now. Why do you want to ask this?"
She thought of a possibility, "Did Jiang Xilin ask you to ask me this?"
"No, I said Brother Jiang didn't know."
There was little change in Yuan An's handsome face. He always presented an image of being honest and reliable. Only occasionally, this appearance would give him an advantage, making it easier for others to believe that what he said was true.
Chen Congyu couldn't tell, so she cautiously kept silent and waited for him to continue.
"I'm asking this out of curiosity. If you had no feelings for Brother Jiang, why would you still be with him even though you already have a husband? If you did have feelings for him, why would you remarry?"
Chen Congyu raised his eyelids calmly, “You want me to tell you, but you haven’t reached this threshold yet.”
The original case then asked honestly: "What do you want me to do in order to tell me?"
"Are you serious?"
"yes."
Chen Congyu tried to find some flaws in his face, but unfortunately his appearance gave him a great advantage. He was the kind of good man that the elders would think was reliable.
If she hadn't known him for a long time, she might have thought so too, and then foolishly believed it and told him everything.
But what kind of good thing could be entrusted with such an important task by Jiang Xilin?
Shen Congyu leaned forward slightly, smiled and said, “If you let Jiang Xilin let me go, I will tell you.”
Yuan An's eyelids twitched.
I don’t know when, someone said that Chen Congyu was a bad woman and asked him to stay away from her and have less contact with her.
But the original case had little contact with her.
He would only see her around Jiang Xilin, and not many times. Her gaze and attention were all on Jiang Xilin. She looked very arrogant and ignored a small person like him who had no money or power.
She really looks like a bad woman.
But one time, the original case suddenly became clear.
It’s not that Chen Congyu doesn’t like to deal with people like him, but because she likes Jiang Xilin too much, so she is only willing to stay with Jiang Xilin.
What does it have to do with her? Why should she pay any attention to them?
Precisely because Yuan An had realized this, up to now, except for the things Jiang Xilin arranged for him to do regarding Chen Congyu, he did not make any extra remarks.
He subconsciously believed that Shen Congyu had true feelings for Jiang Xilin back then, but the subsequent developments confused him. He still couldn't understand why Shen Congyu would marry another man.
Just like the question he asked Chen Congyu, he still couldn't figure out what the answer was.
She was too tight-lipped and no one could make her tell the truth willingly.
The original case thought that Chen Congyu just wanted to test him and make him change sides. He even thought about what conditions she would put forward, but she gave a vague answer.
How could Brother Jiang let her go?
She clearly didn't want to tell him the answer.
Yuan An lowered his eyes, not knowing how to answer.
He tried to say, "Brother Jiang is very good to his own people. If you hadn't chosen to leave him, he would never treat you like this."
"I thought you would say that you would lie to him with me, that I still have feelings for him."
Chen Congyu said softly, as if luring the other party into trusting her and thus falling into a trap step by step, "As long as he thinks that I still love him and that I had no choice, he should let me go, right?"
The original case was almost bewitched by her assumption.
Suddenly, a mother and son passed by the table. The little boy cried and wanted to leave. The sharp sound woke the original case up.
He was thinking about how to answer Shen Congyu when he saw her gaze linger behind him, and the faint smile on her face faded.
She suddenly became a little strange.
The feeling is very subtle.
Yuan An looked back and saw a man coming into the cafe's entrance. He had never seen him before, but he seemed very familiar.
As the other party walked towards this side, the original case came to mind.
Chen Yao stopped at the table where the two of them were sitting. His goal was clear, and he spoke to Shen Congyu with a smile, "Wife, why don't you reply to my message?"
Shen Congyu hadn't figured out how he found this place yet, so she didn't intend to pay attention to him. How could she possibly reply to him?
Chen Yao didn't mind and then looked at Yuan An, "Is this your friend?"
Yuan An looked at Chen Congyu.
Shen Congyu didn't want Chen Yao to do anything, so he stood up and said with a cold face: "Yes, we just finished talking, let's go."
"Don't worry, since we're friends, then introduce us. I'd also like to learn more about your life here."
Chen Congyu's hands were tightly clutching the bag in her hands.
Before she could say anything, Yuan An stood up, extended his hand toward Chen Yao, and took the initiative to speak: "Hello, are you Mr. Chen Yao? I've heard her mention you before, and I finally met you today."
After Chen Yao and he briefly got to know each other, he said to Shen Congyu, "Wife, since you've told your friends about me, you should ask me to come with you today. We should treat him to a meal."
Chen Congyu curved the corners of his mouth stiffly.
Judging from the original case's reaction, he had indeed investigated Jiang Xilin's affairs in recent years, so he knew Chen Yao and knew his name.
It is not clear to what extent they have investigated.
