No. 256 Ms.
After Jiang Xilin was forced to let Shen Congyu make a choice, he actually left on his own initiative.
Chen Congyu took the gift he gave her, watched him leave, and returned to the room with a heavy heart.
Wen Song was the closest and asked her, "Why did he look for you?"
The others didn't say anything, but they knew it was Jiang Xilin who came to see them, and they were now curiously waiting for her answer.
Chen Congyu put the things in his hand on the cabinet next to him and said, "Nothing, he just knew it was my birthday today and said a few words to me."
She asked them to sit down quickly and not be influenced by Jiang Xilin, as she was the one who was affected the most.
She was very curious to know what else could be happening to her now, of which she was completely unaware.
During the journey, Zhou Yu also looked at her frequently, and seemed to notice that she was a little absent-minded. When others were not paying attention, he asked in her ear:
"Xilin came to see you, is there really something wrong?"
Shen Congyu herself had no idea, so how could she tell Zhou Yu about it?
She shook her head. "It's nothing, I was just thinking about something. It's okay, let's continue."
After everyone finished their meal, Zhou Yu took the initiative to clean up the table and kitchen, allowing Chen Congyu, the birthday boy, to rest.
After dinner, Zhou Ning and Xue Mingrui prepared a few games to play. They drank some wine and it was lively and there was a very festive atmosphere, just like celebrating a birthday.
If Jiang Xilin hadn't left Shen Congyu with doubts, she would have been 100% happy today.
Of course, it also depends on whether what Jiang Xilin wants to say is good or bad.
She always kept it in her mind.
The birthday cake was prepared by Zhou Yuye. It was beautiful in shape and tasted great. Shen Congyu handed a piece of the cake to Zhou Yuye, who jokingly asked her what wish she had made.
Chen Congyu was in a good mood, but she was no longer at the age to place her hopes on birthday wishes, so she made a symbolic wish.
"I just hope I can get my press pass smoothly."
Zhou Yu also nodded, "Of course."
After eating cake, playing and having fun, it was almost twelve o'clock. Tomorrow was still a workday, so the few of them had to say goodbye and go back.
After Shen Congyu sent everyone away, she went back upstairs. Jiang Xilin had come out at some point and was standing at her door waiting for her.
Jiang Xilin turned to look at her sideways: "Has everyone gone back?"
"Um."
She thought he would show up to find her again, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
I guess if Wen Song and the others had left earlier, he would have appeared sooner.
She answered him as she opened the door, "Just left. ...Have you been waiting?"
"No."
Chen Congyu didn't quite believe it.
Jiang Xilin followed her into the room and looked around immediately.
However, Zhou Yu had already cleaned up briefly before leaving. Apart from some simple decorations, there was no indication of how lively the night would be.
But Jiang Xilin still saw the gift he had given out and put it there as it was.
He looked at Shen Congyu who was receiving water, “Why didn’t you see what I gave you?”
"Not in time. I'll look at it later."
Chen Congyu thought he would ask her to open it now, but he didn't say anything.
After the two sat down, Chen Congyu couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to say?"
Jiang Xilin: "Have you seen Ms. Cheng recently?"
Chengxi Shang?
Shen Congyu didn't understand why she was suddenly mentioned.
She told the truth, "A few days ago, I attended a meeting with my boss and met Ms. Cheng. We even said hello. What happened?"
"I went back to the Jiang family some time ago and heard something," Jiang Xilin said seriously, "Ms. Cheng, it might be your aunt."
Chen Congyu's first reaction was that he had heard it wrong.
Without thinking, she said, "How is that possible?"
"If I didn't have a clue, I wouldn't tell you. Ms. Cheng was adopted by your grandparents when she was a child. The other person passed away a month ago. They didn't want Ms. Cheng to be alone in the future, so they finally told the news to their relatives."
Jiang Xilin observed Shen Congyu's reaction and continued, "This person is related to the Jiang family and let the cat out of the bag when he came to the Jiang family party."
After all, Ms. Cheng’s identity is not ordinary now, so any news, even if it is not negative, cannot be easily revealed.
This point, apart from the fact that some people with ulterior motives may make a fuss about it, is only important to Shen Congyu.
Her mother died early, her only uncle has been abroad, and all the relatives on her father's side are related to Shen You. She is isolated and helpless in this regard.
It would be a good thing for Shen Congyu if he could recognize Ms. Cheng.
What Jiang Xilin was thinking was the same as what Shen Congyu was thinking after learning about it.
She was still confused. "How are you sure?"
"I know about your mother's situation. At first, it just sounded a bit similar, but I remember you said you felt Ms. Cheng was very familiar. After that, I paid attention and asked someone to ask her in detail."
Instantly, Shen Congyu felt a breath of air pulled out of her chest, and the image of Ms. Cheng flashed back before her eyes. It turned out that her instinct wasn't just a random guess.
She immediately became nervous and anxious and asked Jiang Xilin: "Besides you, is that the only person who knows about this?"
It seems that Ms. Cheng is still unaware of this.
Jiang Xilin knew what she was thinking. "Don't worry, that person won't say anything again. I've already dealt with the aftermath of what was said at the Jiang family gathering. As for Ms. Cheng, if you want, I can arrange for you to meet tomorrow to discuss it in detail."
After all, Shen Congyu's current acquaintance with Ms. Cheng was limited to having met her a few times with Yan Zhao. If she suddenly contacted her for a meeting, it would still be very difficult.
It would be great if Jiang Xilin was willing to help. But...
Chen Congyu looked at him slowly, not knowing whether to open the mouth or not.
Jiang Xilin raised his eyebrows, "Why, are you afraid of being too involved with me?"
This was what Shen Congyu was thinking, but she didn't say it out loud.
She was still struggling with what to say, and Jiang Xilin simply said, "I volunteer to help you. Besides, I've already inquired about this matter for you. Now it's just a matter of contacting someone, which is nothing."
This was not the first time he emphasized in front of Shen Congyu that whatever he did, he had to do it himself.
Chen Congyu knew that he said this to make her not reject being involved with him.
She could be casual about other things, but she really couldn't refuse this matter.
"Thank you, then."
Jiang Xilin: "I have only one condition, you must keep what I give you tonight."
Chen Congyu hadn't opened it yet, so she didn't know what he had given her.
She accepted the gift, but why did he force her to accept it?
She now really wanted to know what he had given her.
Compared with meeting Cheng Xishang, Shen Congyu still agreed to him.
It was past twelve o'clock and everything that needed to be said had been said. Shen Congyu covered her lips and yawned, her eyes glancing at Jiang Xilin.
Jiang Xilin drank some water and stood up to leave.
He walked in front, and Shen Congyu followed him from behind. He didn't notice that he stopped and bumped into his back.
As they got closer, Chen Congyu smelled the scent on him, which was different from the one she was most familiar with before. It seemed like the bottle of perfume she had personally mixed on his birthday.
...Didn’t you throw it in the trash because you didn’t like it?
