Chapter 95
Chen Congyu had thought before that if she told Jiang Xilin and let him know what kind of life she was living with Chen Yao, would he feel more sorry for her.
So that I can be nicer to her.
It doesn't have to be too nice, just think she's really pitiful and don't even look at her.
But then Shen Congyu thought that this trick wouldn't work.
One thing at a time, Jiang Xilin's dislike and hatred for her cannot be erased.
When you know that someone you hate is having a hard time, you can't even laugh, so how can you feel sad?
So Chen Congyu always endured it and even pretended for a long time.
Chen Congyu: "Although his family is dissatisfied with his actions, they are a family after all. If Chen Yao gets into trouble, it will affect the reputation of the Chen family. So with their help, there is really a limit to what I can do."
After she said the last word, she gently raised her eyelids and looked at Jiang Xilin.
She could admit that she was saying this to show weakness.
Anyway, Jiang Xilin already knew a lot, so she couldn't be so rigid in her attitude anymore. It would not be good for her.
It's better to show some weakness than to be stubborn and say something that Jiang Xilin doesn't want to hear.
As for what she said, Jiang Xilin could roughly guess it from the investigation.
He said, "If Chen Yao hadn't chased me to Haicheng to find you, I wouldn't have believed you even if you told me this."
Chen Congyu was silent for a few seconds, then said: "I am also glad that I am back."
"Are you glad?" Jiang Xilin suddenly asked.
"What's the meaning?"
Jiang Xilin suddenly stopped talking again, raised his cup and took a sip of water.
The food was gradually served. Chen Congyu was already a little hungry. Jiang Xilin had prepared a meal early. She didn't know what it was, but she had not been picky about food for a long time, unless there were one or two kinds of food that she really couldn't accept.
So after the topic just now ended, Chen Congyu started eating.
As long as she has an appetite, she is very serious and devoted to eating.
In comparison, Jiang Xilin seemed very casual and even took out his phone to reply to messages for a long time.
Chen Congyu didn't have a big appetite, so he finished his meal quickly. While drinking water, his eyes drifted elsewhere, and he accidentally caught a glimpse of someone he knew on the other side of the stairs.
She almost choked. Jiang Xilin heard the noise and looked at her.
Shen Congyu wiped her mouth, frowned and coughed, “Miss Duan, cough, Miss Duan seems to be here too.”
Following her gaze, Jiang Xilin looked towards the stairs not far away.
The person coming down the stairs over there was Duan Ke.
At this moment, there was a man beside her.
The man first noticed that someone was looking at him, and he lowered his head and said something to Duan Ke, and then Duan Ke saw Jiang Xilin.
And there was Chen Congyu sitting opposite him.
At this second, Shen Congyu was particularly nervous.
She couldn't help but sit up straight and look at Jiang Xilin secretly.
His reaction was quite calm.
Duan Ke and the man beside her walked over. Duan Ke pursed her lips and her face looked a little stiff.
She took the initiative to speak: "Xilin, you and Miss Shen are also eating here."
"Um."
Duan Ke: "I didn't expect you two had such a good relationship. The last time we met, I thought you guys didn't talk much because of Miss Shen's resignation."
She said this to Shen Congyu.
Shen Congyu knew that she was just caught having dinner with Jiang Xilin, but she was probably feeling guilty, so she was still nervous.
Besides, she really didn't understand whether Jiang Xilin would really come to take her out for dinner?
Before Chen Congyu could speak, Jiang Xilin moved. He leaned back in his chair and looked at Duan Ke with a half-smile.
He didn't respond to Duan Ke's words, but changed the subject and asked her, "Is this person next to you a new friend? I haven't met him before."
The man was about to step forward to introduce himself, but was stopped by Duan Ke with a look.
She smiled broadly, "It's just that a friend I haven't seen in many years came to Haicheng, and I invited him to dinner."
Jiang Xilin: "Really? No wonder."
strangeness.
Shen Congyu looked at the scene in front of him and listened to the brief conversation between the two of them, feeling very strange.
I can’t say exactly where.
She could see that Duan Ke was very curious about why she was having dinner with Jiang Xilin.
No matter how well they know each other, they were only employee and boss before. How could they be this close?
But Duan Ke stopped asking after asking that one time.
besides……
Chen Congyu remembered that she seemed to be not mistaken. When they were on the stairs just now, the man seemed to be holding Duan Ke's hand.
Although he was quickly pushed away by Duan Ke.
Did Jiang Xilin see it?
He is too calm.
Duan Ke smiled, and seeing that they were not finished yet, he took the initiative to say, "Then we won't bother you anymore, let's go first."
She walked quickly, and the man followed her.
Shen Congyu licked his lips and asked Jiang Xilin: "Aren't we leaving?"
Jiang Xilin raised his hand to pour the wine, "Are you done eating?"
"Yeah." "I haven't yet."
Jiang Xilin started drinking again. He didn't drink much, but it was his second glass.
Chen Congyu didn't want to rush him, but after all, she had just met Duan Ke, so she was a little at a loss.
"What if Miss Duan asks about it later?"
She really couldn't find any decent excuse to keep in touch with Jiang Xilin, and she didn't want to lie to Duan Ke.
Jiang Xilin said, "It's just a meal, what do you want to ask?"
"...What if? In her opinion, we are not familiar with each other."
"Then think about it when you go back." Jiang Xilin said casually.
Chen Congyu heard that he said this on purpose.
She wasn't sure if it was really as Jiang Xilin said, or if she was just too sensitive.
But judging by Duan Ke's reaction, apart from being confused, everything else seemed fine.
Jiang Xilin ignored her and she was left to worry about it herself.
He was drunk and couldn't drive, so Chen Congyu drove the return trip.
The car was quiet, Jiang Xilin closed his eyes to rest, and Shen Congyu quietly acted as the driver.
The atmosphere was broken by a call from Jiang Xilin.
He picked up the phone, responded coldly, and just listened to the other party talking.
The person who called was Duan Ke.
Duan Ke said, "The person having dinner with me tonight is actually a friend I haven't seen for a long time. He's also my high school classmate. He finally came to Haicheng, so I treated him to dinner."
"It's fine, no need to tell me specifically."
Duan Ke was a little anxious, "I'm afraid you'll misunderstand me, I won't cause any trouble."
Jiang Xilin placed his other hand on his thigh, tapping it casually, and said, "It's okay. Whatever happened is normal."
"I really won't...we agreed on that," Duan Ke hesitated. As long as she and Jiang Xilin could understand, it was fine. "I won't."
"Um."
Duan Ke just felt that he was very cold, "I won't do this again in the future."
Jiang Xilin: "There's no need to go that far."
"Have you returned home?"
"On the way."
Duan Ke: "You seem to have been drinking. Did you call a designated driver?"
Jiang Xilin glanced at Shen Congyu who was driving, "I won't make such a low-level mistake."
He was referring to drunk driving.
Duan Ke muttered, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore."
She wanted to say she would go see him tomorrow, but the call was disconnected.
