Chapter 317 The original truth
When Shen Lang heard Jiang Jun's question, he spat out the mineral water he had just drunk.
and……
It just happened to spray onto Jiang Jun's face.
"I rely on!"
Shen Lang looked at Jiang Jun, whose face was covered with water stains, and immediately shrank his neck, as timid as a quail. Then he picked up the tissue on the table, took out several sheets in a row and handed them to Jiang Jun.
"I'm sorry, buddy, I have to wash your face again so early in the morning."
Jiang Jun took the tissue he handed over expressionlessly, wiped the water stains on his face, and said coldly: "Thank you."
"You kid, answer my question honestly."
It all sprayed on his face. In order to find out the truth behind this matter, Jiang Jun really paid a price.
Hearing this, Shen Lang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He also knew in his heart that Jiang Jun was determined to get to the bottom of everything between him and Cheng Xintong today.
"Ugh."
Shen Lang leaned back in his chair and sighed, saying, "Old Jiang, you've already seen it, why are you still going through so much trouble to beat around the bush? It turns out you're just waiting for me here."
"Why don't you say that you were the one acting sneakily? She just left, and then she saw me coming in from behind, but you didn't say anything." Jiang Jun said.
Shen Lang had an innocent expression on his face, and said with his hands spread out: "No, you didn't ask."
"You can tell me if I don't ask you. What is the relationship between us? Do we need to hide it? It's just that you deliberately hid it from me, so I didn't ask you about it directly."
Shen Lang:……?
He looked at Jiang Jun with a dumbfounded expression. The non-static picture just stared at him for two seconds, and said, "I found that after you fell in love, even your speech became a little teaspy, and..."
Jiang Jun interrupted Shen Lang directly: "Don't interrupt, let's talk about business."
"Okay, okay, I'll confess."
Shen Lang rolled his eyes at Jiang Jun, then began to tell him the truth of the matter.
It turned out that the "mysterious person" who came to the hospital at the beginning and gave flowers and fruits to Shen Lang's mother was actually her, Cheng Xintong.
The last time, during the last semester, when Jiang Jun and Shen Lang talked about this matter, Shen Lang actually already knew that the person was Cheng Xintong.
However, at that time, Shen Lang also learned some other things from Cheng Xintong. He felt that it was not appropriate to tell Jiang Jun at that time, so he simply put it aside until now. Besides, he had a lot of things to do every day.
After hearing this first piece of news, Jiang Jun paused, but he didn't feel very surprised.
"Xintong came to give Aunt Xiang flowers and fruits. In fact, even though you didn't tell me the truth, I already know the answer. I've seen her many times, and I've seen you two together. It can't be a coincidence every time, right?"
Jiang Jun looked directly at Shen Lang and asked seriously, "Compared to this, I'm more curious about what you two talk about every time you meet? Also, why does Xintong do this?"
As he spoke, Jiang Jun's mind flashed back to his previous guesses about Cheng Xintong, and he was waiting to see whether Shen Lang's answer was consistent with his guesses.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop it first."
Shen Lang pulled Jiang Jun and said with a look of dissatisfaction: "What do you mean by 'every time we meet'? The number of times I met and talked with her is not that many times in total."
"I don't care how many times you've met. I've seen it several times. Don't try to change the subject. Stop wasting time and just answer truthfully." Jiang Jun changed his sitting position and said to him.
The two looked at each other and were silent for a while before Jiang Jun spoke tentatively.
"You really want to know?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense?"
After Jiang Jun glared at Shen Lang, he pondered and nodded slowly, then continued to tell the whole story between him and Cheng Xintong.
there is only one truth.
Cheng Xintong's father, who went abroad to avoid debt, was the creditor of Shen Lang's family.
really.
This answer really matched Jiang Jun's previous guess. He guessed the final answer correctly, but he didn't know the details about the two people in between.
After Jiang Jun heard the other party's clear answer, he was relieved of his surprise. After a short silence, he looked at Shen Lang and nodded, saying, "Go on, I'm listening."
"Okay, now that we've talked about it, I'll have a good chat with you." Shen Lang nodded.
After Cheng Xintong learned about the incident from the envelope, she began to investigate. After a period of investigation, Cheng Xintong finally confirmed that Shen Lang's mother was her father's original client.
The first thing Cheng Xintong did was to visit Lin Xiang more often quietly. Especially when she learned from the medical staff how Lin Xiang got into the car accident and what happened exactly, she felt that some of her beliefs were impacted.
Before the accident, Cheng Xintong always regarded her father as a role model and it had been her belief for many years.
After the accident, my father chose to leave and fled abroad due to his debts.
On the other hand, Shen Lang's mother, Lin Xiang, was originally going to cross the city overnight to collect debts, which was also the right thing to do. However, after the mudslide accident occurred halfway, the first thing she chose to do was to stop her journey and choose to save people in the disaster.
Once the things between the two sides are compared, there is a sharp contrast in an instant.
There were many things that Cheng Xintong learned about during the investigation during that period, including her own family affairs and Lin Xiang's deeds, including the fact that Jiang Jun and Lin Xiang had a car accident on the same night for the same reason. She knew everything.
However, she chose not to say anything.
Because Cheng Xintong is a person with strong self-esteem and who takes practical actions to get things done.
She chose to quietly send flowers and fruits to Lin Xiang, and later when Shen Lang found out, both of them confessed their mistake.
"You know I didn't go home during the winter break."
Shen Lang glanced at Jiang Jun and said, "But what I didn't expect was that Xintong didn't go home before the winter break, but showed up at the place where I was doing my part-time job on the second day of the winter break."
"I asked her what she wanted to do, why she didn't go home during the winter break and came to the place where I work part-time. Xintong told me not to bother her and just do my own thing."
"That part-time job was to rush to ship goods before the Spring Festival. The salary was very high, but it was really hard work, harder than working like a beast of burden. It was equivalent to one person doing the work of two or three people. But even though some of the work was hard and heavy, she, a girl, did not say a word and just persisted and finished the work for a few days like us."
As he spoke, Shen Lang's expression became a little complicated. He took a sip of water before continuing.
"On the night before New Year's Eve, when we finished work at 9pm, Xintong found me and stuffed an envelope into my pocket."
"Envelope? What's inside is... money, right?" Jiang Jun asked.
Shen Lang nodded and said, "Well, the wages for rush work are paid by bank transfer. She might be worried that I would not accept the money, so she just gave it to me in cash."
"The part-time job pays 7 yuan for seven days, plus a 2300 yuan bonus, but Cheng Xintong finally gave me a total of 150 yuan."
"I later found out that when she found out about those things near the end of the semester, she started to live frugally, and the extra money she gave me was all her living expenses saved.
What was even more surprising was that we didn’t finish our part-time job until 9pm that night, but she stayed home to celebrate the New Year and bought a hard-bed ticket for the evening train…
I still remember that night, before we parted, she walked a distance, suddenly turned around and looked at me and asked me a question. ”
"What's the problem?" Jiang Jun asked.
"She said, 'It was my father who brought trouble upon your family. Do you hate me now that you know who I am?'"
"Then how did you answer?"
