Chapter 91 Dark Thoughts
Chen Congyu got into the nearest car and sat behind the driver's seat. From this position, she couldn't see Jiang Xilin and avoided any eye contact with him.
Duan Ke could easily catch a glimpse of her through the rearview mirror.
Duan Ke asked her, "Miss Shen, are you feeling unwell?"
Chen Congyu's condition was indeed very bad, but it was impossible for her to say it out loud.
She replied calmly: "I was a little busy at work today, so I must be tired."
"I think you resigned from the hotel? What are you doing now?"
"I just found a job and have only been working for a few days. It's not very stable yet."
Duan Ke spoke to Chen Congyu casually.
However, the two of them were not familiar with each other, and after Duan Ke asked this question, it was obvious that they had no topics to talk about.
Chen Congyu consciously took the initiative to say: “Sorry for the trouble, just put me on the roadside in front.”
She didn't speak to Jiang Xilin specifically.
She thought Jiang Xilin probably wouldn't want her to talk too much to him in front of Duan Ke.
Jiang Xilin didn't respond. Duan Ke had long been accustomed to his unsociable nature. She continued Chen Congyu's words: "Is it just in front? Is it easy to get a taxi there? Where do you live? Let me see if it's on my way."
She was too enthusiastic. Jiang Xilin took advantage of the red light and glanced at her casually, "Help me get something."
Shen Congyu, who was sitting in the back, could only hear Jiang Xilin talking, and probably saw Duan Ke find something and hand it to Jiang Xilin.
Duan Ke talked to Jiang Xilin about her sister getting married in a few days and asked Jiang Xilin if he wanted to go.
When the two of them talked about these things, everything sounded natural and skillful, worthy of their good relationship of several years.
Chen Congyu turned to look out the window. The red light hadn't ended yet. It had been taking too long.
At the next intersection, Jiang Xilin stopped the car on the side of the road.
Chen Congyu thanked him and got out of the car and closed the door without wasting a second.
Her back fell into Jiang Xilin's sight.
I haven't seen her for a while, and she seems to have lost a lot of weight.
No wonder Duan Ke asked her if she was feeling unwell.
Jiang Xilin stepped on the accelerator expressionlessly and drove away.
…
The next day at noon, Xue Mingrui happened to be near the magazine office and made an appointment with Shen Congyu to have lunch together nearby during lunch break.
While eating, Xue Mingrui thought of Chen Yao and asked Shen Congyu: "Where is that man surnamed Chen? Has he harassed you recently?"
In order not to make Xue Mingrui worry and not to cause her trouble, Shen Congyu did not tell Xue Mingrui what happened last time Chen Yao and Shen You tricked her into returning to the Shen family.
Now that Chen Yao has left Haicheng, Shen Congyu told the truth.
"Gone? That's good." Xue Mingrui spoke more cheerfully. "I heard from the original case a while ago that he was beaten up by Zhou Zhou. He really deserved it. Now that he's gone, you can relax a little."
Chen Congyu felt much more relieved because Chen Yao had returned, but another serious problem followed.
She didn't sleep much last night and made an appointment with the hospital to have a check-up as soon as possible.
She planned to tell Xue Mingrui about this during the operation.
"It's a lot better now that he's gone. I finally have a job I like and I don't want to be affected by him."
Xue Mingrui: "Sister Cong Yu, once your current job is stable, you might be able to switch positions. If you can become a reporter for the entertainment section, you might be able to interview my idol someday. Remember to get me an autographed photo then!"
After all, she was still a little girl, and she was keen on chasing stars a few years ago. Shen Congyu still remembers it.
I've even helped her get concert tickets before.
Chen Congyu smiled unconsciously, "If that day really comes, I will definitely not forget it."
"That's right, Sister Cong Yu, you should smile more. That troublemaker is no longer in Haicheng. You need to recover as soon as possible!"
Shen Congyu was slightly startled. She touched her face and asked, "Am I in a very bad condition?"
Xue Mingrui shook his head. "It's not that bad, but you look very depressed and your complexion isn't very good. You looked much better when you smiled just now."
She seized the opportunity to encourage Chen Congyu that everything began to get better. Under her influence, the worry that had been lingering in Chen Congyu's heart temporarily faded away.
Anyway, she had already decided to have the surgery after the examination. Since it was an accident, it would be better to solve it as soon as possible.
Chen Congyu tried hard to enlighten herself.
After lunch, the two separated downstairs of the magazine office. Xue Mingrui waited for Yuan An to pick him up as he had something to do with Yuan An in the afternoon.
When the original case came, Xue Mingrui squatted on the edge of the steps, holding his chin in his hand, in a daze, with a gloomy look on his face.
When she got in the car, the original case asked her, "What's wrong? Why do you look like that?"
Xue Mingrui bit his nails and turned to stare at him.
The original case was frightened by her, and she asked helplessly: "What happened? I don't think I offended you?"
"I had lunch with Sister Cong Yu at noon."
"So? What happened to her?"
Xue Mingrui said: "She said nothing happened, but I still feel that she is not in a good mood. Did Brother Jiang do something again?"
Now that Chen Yao is gone, it's Jiang Xilin's turn.
Yuan An frowned, "Brother Jiang has been very busy recently. As far as I know, he hasn't met her."
"Are you sure?"
"If Brother Jiang knew you doubted him so much, it would chill his heart."
Xue Mingrui pouted in dissatisfaction. "I didn't say anything. Besides, Sister Cong Yu is also my friend. She needs my help even more."
Yuan An assured: "Brother Jiang really has no time to look for her recently."
"Okay."
…
During her break, Shen Congyu made an appointment with a doctor and had a series of tests. While waiting for the results, she inevitably became overwhelmed by negative emotions and overthinking. She felt restless.
She even thought about whether or not to tell Jiang Xilin.
What if I use this incident to force him to let her go?
Not long after this thought came to mind, Shen Congyu thought of the consequences.
The good thing was that Jiang Xilin agreed to let her go, but he was threatened and still felt dissatisfied with her.
There was no guarantee that she would fall into his hands again if she had the chance in the future.
By then, all the new and old grudges will be settled together, and there will be no end to it.
The bad thing is that he will probably force her to undergo surgery and won't give her any chance to negotiate with him.
She still wouldn't be well after that.
Chen Congyu had a headache.
No matter how you think about it, it doesn't seem to do her much good.
At a certain moment, Chen Congyu even thought darkly, what would happen if she used the pregnancy to make Jiang Xilin break up with Duan Ke?
Unfortunately, this idea is not only dark, but also cannot stand up to practice.
Jiang Xilin and Duan Ke have a good relationship, and there are personal connections and interests involved. He would have to be crazy to choose her.
Thinking about this, Chen Congyu couldn't help laughing.
When it was time to get the examination report, Shen Congyu put aside these messy thoughts and made up his mind to have the surgery directly.
She was getting a report from the machine and didn't notice Duan Zhen appear in the opposite corridor.
Duan Zhen followed a doctor wearing a mask. After a few steps, the doctor went into the examination room and locked her outside.
Duan Zhen stamped her feet dejectedly and went to wait by the railing. It was at this time that she saw Chen Congyu.
