Chapter 26: Chapter 13 part 2
Jiang Ying shook her head.
Xu Cangxing: "You can tell me anything, maybe I can't help, but I can be a good listener."
Jiang Ying smiled, with alienation in her bitter smile; she drank the tea in the cup, got up, and said, "Maybe I should go."
Xu Cangxing grabbed her impulsively, "Jiang Ying."
Jiang Ying looked up at Xu Cangxing and suddenly seemed to be discouraged. All the indifference and alienation just now turned into fragility and helplessness.
She sat down, covering her face.
"What's the matter?"
Xu Cangxing wrapped his hands around hers, trying to give her some strength and courage.
Jiang Ying's lips murmured, and she spoke with difficulty: "Actually, I filed for divorce last night."
Xu Cangxing was stunned, this was a happy event for him, but he knew that Jiang Ying should be in pain, so he couldn't be satisfied at this time; it seemed that Jiang Ying's pain was his pain.
"I never thought that Jiang Yue was the one who cheated on my husband."
"Jiang Yue?" Xu Cangxing was also taken aback, "How could it be her? Isn't she... married."
And Xu Cangxing is not stupid; Jiang Yue repeatedly finds topics to chat with him and always asks him to meet; the purpose is not as simple as she said, such as caring about the company's projects.
He seldom pays attention to it, but sometimes he will reply when it involves projects, or Jiang Ying is mentioned.
"Yes, she is married, but she is also with Cheng Sinian... I can't face her now." Jiang Ying gritted her teeth; her clear eyes were stained with sadness and despair.
Xu Cangxing looked distressed.
"I was on the phone with my dad just now. He knew about it and asked me to go back." Jiang Ying lowered her eyes, full of thoughts, "I don't want to see those two people."
"I know." Xu Cangxing wanted to hug her into his arms. Although he knew he was taking advantage of the situation, the greed in his heart was at work. A voice told him that he would cherish Jiang Ying and won't hurt her.
Jiang Ying wiped the corners of her eyes and sighed: "Telling you so many unhappy things must have made you feel very depressed, sorry."
"You can tell me." Xu Cangxing comforted: "As long as it makes you feel better, I will be happy."
"Thank you." Jiang Ying seemed unable to restrain her emotions, with tears in her eyes, "I want to go to the bathroom, can I?"
Xu Cangxing: "I'll take you there."
Xu Cangxing took her to the bathroom, a little worried, and stood at the door waiting for her.
Jiang Ying washed her hands and looked at herself in the mirror.
Her face was flushed, her lips were pale, her eyes were dimly lit, and her appearance after crying was heartbreaking.
Just now, Jiang Yuanshu lost his temper on the phone, not at her, but at Cheng Sinian.
Jiang Yuanshu now only knows that Cheng Sinian cheated, but he hasn't found out who Cheng Sinian cheated on with.
He asked Jiang Ying to go home first and make it clear to him, and he also said that Jiang Yue would come later.
Jiang Ying only said on the phone that she didn't want to see Jiang Yue and hung up the phone without saying anything else.
Although she didn't explain why she knew that this sentence would definitely arouse Jiang Yuanshu's suspicion.
Maybe Cheng Sinian will go to Jiang's house to find her today, and if everyone comes, it will be very lively.
Jiang Ying raised the corners of her lips in front of the mirror, and the person in the mirror immediately became charming again.
Well, might as well have more people; the bigger the noise, the better the scene will be.
...
When Jiang Ying opened the door, she saw Xu Cangxing standing at the door, looking at her with concern.
"I'm much better." Jiang Ying said in a low voice.
Xu Cangxing wouldn't believe this sentence; she didn't seem much better now; you could tell she was crying again inside, her eyes were red like a rabbit, and there were tears on her face.
[Xu Cangxing's greed value increased by ten points. ]
"Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat? How about I buy you a cake?"
Xu Cangxing thought to himself eating something sweet should make her happier.
Jiang Ying shook her head, "I have no appetite, and I'm a little tired."
"Then do you want to lie down for a while?" Xu Cangxing asked.
Jiang Ying: "No need, I'll go back after sitting for a while; what should come will always come. Even if I don't want to face it anymore, I will always have to go back."
"Then you rest for a while."
"Okay, have you seen my mobile phone? I forgot where it was just now."
Xu Cangxing looked around but didn't see anything. "No, don't you remember? Then use my mobile phone to make a call."
He handed the phone to Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying took the phone.
Xu Cangxing: "The password is 0213."
As soon as Jiang Ying unlocked it, she saw a message pop up on WeChat, and it was from Jiang Yue.
[Are you free tomorrow? Can we meet up? ]
[I have something to talk to you about. ]
Jiang Ying called herself and soon heard the ringtone.
Following the sound, I found the mobile phone on the coffee table next to the sofa; I couldn't see it since the tissue box blocked it.
She found the phone and returned Xu Cangxing's phone to him.
"Jiang Yue sent you a message just now; I'm sorry; I saw the message as soon as it popped up; it wasn't intentional."
Xu Cangxing took the phone and opened WeChat with a frown.
"I think it's time for me to leave; thank you for being with me today."
After Jiang Ying finished speaking, she was about to leave without even looking at Xu Cangxing again.
Xu Cangxing was a little wronged and helpless; why did Jiang Yue send a message at this time? It even happened to be seen by Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying must have misunderstood, thinking that he and Jiang Yue had a close relationship.
Now is the time when she is vulnerable, sad, and most distrustful of others. He managed to get closer to her, but now he was about to be pushed away. Jiang Ying may never pay attention to or meet him again after leaving
He was so anxious. Jiang Ying had just walked a few steps when he hugged her from behind.
"Don't go. It's not what you think."
Jiang Ying said calmly: "I don't know what you are talking about; I should go."
"You know." Xu Cangxing tried harder, but he didn't dare to hurt her and restrained himself, "I have nothing to do with Jiang Yue, she will send me messages, but they are all about the company's projects and…"
Jiang Ying didn't speak.
"And something about you."
"Why did you mention me in the chat?" Jiang Ying didn't change her attitude because of his explanation.
Xu Cangxing could even hear the slightest hint of angrier after hearing her words, so he had to tell the truth, "I only talked with her because she mentioned you to me. I want to know more about you."
After speaking, he was a little ashamed, and his palms were sweating.
Jiang Ying was silent for a moment, "I see... you can let go of me, and I really should go."
"Jiang Ying." Xu Cangxing suddenly lowered his head, put his chin against her head, and said very seriously: "If I am willing to wait for you, can you give me a chance? I want to take care of you, protect you... I promise I won't let you get hurt again."
"It's getting late. If I don't leave, my father will get worried."
"Don't change the subject." Xu Cangxing turned Jiang Ying around and asked her to stand face-to-face with him.
His eyes were too hot, like blazing to fire, almost enveloping her.
Jiang Ying sighed: "Xu Cangxing...we can't do this."
"I know I can't now, but I can wait for you. If I didn't go abroad after graduating from high school but kept pursuing you, would we have different results..."
Jiang Ying shook her head lightly, "saying what-ifs is useless in this situation."
"I know, but now... I won't give up again."
Xu Cangxing held her face in his hands, looked at her firmly, and realized that she didn't resist, so he slowly approached her and pressed a kiss on her forehead.
"Even if I'm not the one standing by your side in the end, at least let me guard you, for now, okay?"
Xu Cangxing's gentleness penetrated to the bone, and every word he said made people feel soft.
It's a pity that Jiang Ying didn't know how often she heard this kind of talk.
To her, a man's promises seemed to fall on deaf ears, and she would forget about them.
If she really took it seriously, she was the one who was bothered.
"Don't do this." Jiang Ying looked away as if she didn't know how to respond.
Her eyes were pure and alienated as if she was pushing people away, but there was still a rope to pull people closer. This is what playing hard to get is, but it is more attractive than playing hard to get, like an invisible hook you don't notice. If the tip reaches you, you won't be able to run away.
The reason why the system chose her is also because of this. She, the queen of the fishing system, has a huge advantage here.
Every look from Jiang Ying can fully reveal the essence of the fishing system.
Almost every man will subconsciously get sunk into her when facing her.
As soon as Jiang Ying left Xu Cangxing's villa, she heard the system beeping frequently.
[Xu Cangxing's greed value increased by five points. ]
[Xu Cangxing's greed value increased by ten points. ]
[Xu Cangxing's greed value increased by ten points. ]
...
On the way back, Jiang Ying called Gu Chen.
The number that Gu Chen gave her before was his private number, and influential people usually call that cell phone; even if he didn't have the cell phone himself, someone would tell Gu Chen immediately when they saw it.
He didn't answer Jiang Ying's call, but after a few minutes, he called back.
"Is there something wrong?" Gu Chen is very busy today, meetings one after another; currently, there is a problem with a project, and the whole company is trying to resolve it, but fortunately, it is almost dealt with.
"There is something."
"Speak." Gu Chen's speech slowed down, "I'm listening."
When he was in a meeting before, he acted vigorously and scolded several directors and managers without panting, but now he was talking to Jiang Ying, and his state had changed.
"Can you come to my house tonight?"
When Gu Chen arrives, tonight's battle will finally kick-off.
