The girl also saw everyone's doubts. After asking them to sit down, she gave them a few glasses of water, looking very calm.
But Jing Long, who was impatient, couldn't wait and asked directly, "Beauty, you haven't told me why?"
As he spoke, his face was filled with curiosity, but more than that, anxiety.
Jing Long was the most impatient and didn't like to beat around the bush. It was better to be straightforward.
The girl sat down gracefully, then said with a smile, "Don't call me beauty. My name is Cong Rong. You can call me by my name."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Cong Rong, it's a nice name, and the surname Cong is quite rare."
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Cong Rong said with a smile, "Well, that's right! It's indeed rare, so you're very lucky. "
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Jiang Cheng shrugged with a smile and didn't say anything. In his heart, he had a good impression of Cong Rong.
Qi Lin looked around and then asked, "Cong Rong, what about your family?"
Hearing this, Cong Rong's face changed obviously, and she suddenly became depressed. They all looked at her.
After a moment of silence, she said slowly, "My parents passed away, and the house was left to me by them."
Although Cong Rong tried to say it calmly, there was a little sadness in her tone.
"Ah," Qi Lin said. Then she looked at Cong Rong at a loss and said quickly, "I'm sorry, I didn't know …"
Hearing Qi Lin's words, Cong Rong waved her hand carelessly and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it!" Then she smiled at Qi Lin, trying to ease the embarrassment of Qi Lin.
Jiang Cheng looked at Cong Rong and said half-jokingly, "Now can you talk about what's going on outside? We are all curious people." After saying that, he smiled and tried to ease the atmosphere.
Cong Rong smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, it's nothing. Recently, a group of people found an IOU with my father's name on it and asked me to pay it back. But I know that it couldn't have been written by my father, so they came to make trouble every day. Originally, there were tenants upstairs, but they were also driven away. I only called you here because I saw that you guys don't have a place to stay. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll cause you trouble again. "After saying that, he had a helpless expression on his face.
Upon hearing this, Jing Long immediately said angrily, "There are still such scumbags in this world? Don't worry, Miss Cong. If they come again, I'll beat them until their mothers can't recognize them. "
As Jing Long spoke, he rubbed his palms together, itching to get rid of all those troublemakers.
Xiao He rolled his eyes at Jing Long and said helplessly, "You're being silly again. When can you be quiet? Can fighting solve problems? This is a society ruled by law. "
Hearing Xiao He's scolding, Jing Long was used to it. He didn't care, but he stopped talking. The biggest advantage of Jing Long was that he knew that he was not smart, and he was willing to listen to others' advice.
Qi Lin then said, "Miss Cong, can you be more specific? Let's see if we can help. My brothers are very powerful, especially Cheng Ge. "Then she pointed to Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng smiled helplessly. Qi Lin was really good at asking for help. Now he had to help even if he didn't want to.
In fact, even if Qi Lin didn't say it, Cong Rong could feel that Jiang Cheng seemed to be the core of this small team, and everyone listened to his command.
Although Jiang Cheng looked fair and delicate, he exuded a kind of manly aura from his bones. Sometimes temperament was like this. It could be felt, but it couldn't be expressed.
That kind of disdainful and arrogant aura could easily infect others.
Cong Rong looked at Qi Lin and said slowly, "Actually, it's not a big deal. My father used to be the boss of Cong's Group, but a year ago, he offended someone. The company's finance went wrong inexplicably, and some senior managers disappeared inexplicably."
Hearing Cong Rong's words, Jiang Cheng and others were shocked. It seemed that things were not so simple.
Cong Rong continued, "Our Cong's Group has always been engaged in the medical business, so we have a lot of partners. But these partners all canceled their cooperation with us. According to my father, someone wanted to buy my father's company at a low price, but my father refused. At that time, my father once told me that if anything happened to him, I should live a normal life. Don't look into it. "
When Cong Rong said these words, her tone was very calm, as if she were talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
Jiang Cheng secretly sighed in his heart. If what Cong Rong said was true, this girl was either stupid, or she was under great pressure and pretending to be calm.
The latter was more likely, because people's eyes couldn't lie. Even if Cong Rong's face was expressionless and her voice was cold, Jiang Cheng clearly saw the unwillingness in Cong Rong's eyes.
Cong Rong picked up the cup on the table and took a sip. Then she continued, "Later, my parents had a car accident and both died. They only left me this house. All the company's assets were bought by a shell company, and I didn't get any money. I was weak and couldn't solve the problem, so I left it unsettled. I will remember my father's words and live a normal life."
After hearing Cong Rong's story, everyone was silent. They didn't expect that Cong Rong had such a tragic life, which made them sigh. It was gratifying to see that Cong Rong was working so hard to live and didn't give up on herself.
Cong Rong's words made Jiang Cheng feel inexplicably distressed. Jiang Cheng could almost empathize with what Cong Rong had experienced and her current mood, which made him think of his own past.
How helpless Cong Rong was right now. Jiang Cheng didn't want to think about the feeling of not being able to respond to her and not being able to call for help.
Jiang Cheng looked at Cong Rong and comforted her, "Don't worry. Everything will pass. We living people still have to do something after all, don't we? I will help you. "
As he spoke, he felt a little distressed. He began to admire the seemingly weak girl in front of him.
Cong Rong was surprised. She didn't expect that Jiang Cheng, who she had only met twice, would agree to help her so readily. She didn't know how long it had been since someone took the initiative to care about her. She had been used to being treated coldly by the people around her. At this moment, Jiang Cheng's words made her feel very touched, and her cold heart had a trace of warmth.
But she didn't want to bring unnecessary trouble to anyone. She refused and said, "Thank you, but there's no need. Now I have thought it through. I can support myself by working hard to earn money with my own hands."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng also smiled and said nothing. Regarding Cong Rong's situation, Jiang Cheng didn't want to say anything more. After all, they just met today, and they could only be regarded as acquaintances nodding at each other. However, Jiang Cheng suddenly realized that he would spend a long time with this girl in the future.
After coming back this time, Jiang Cheng didn't want to involve too much emotion, even if it was friendship, because Jiang Cheng knew what kind of situation he was facing. Any more emotion might cause this person a disaster.
On the other hand, Cong Rong had a smile on her face as she said, "Alright, after talking so much, you guys should be tired. How about this, Little Sister Qi Lin and I will live upstairs. After all, the space upstairs is relatively smaller. The three of you can live downstairs. In any case, this is a duplex. With the three of you protecting us downstairs, we can also sleep peacefully. "After saying that, he held Qi Lin's arm with an affectionate expression.
Hearing this, Jing Long still didn't forget to brag. He said confidently, "Miss Cong, you can sleep peacefully. With my ability to beat tigers in the Nanshan Mountains and dragons in the Four Seas, I can beat all the rascals!"
Cong Rong covered her mouth and chuckled. "Then I'll trouble you, hero!"
She was very cooperative with Jing Long, which made everyone laugh.
Jing Long looked proud. He scratched his head shyly, and his face became a little red. He introduced himself, "My name is Jing Long. Jing means beautiful scenery, and Long means flood dragon. Just call me by my name in the future!"
Qi Lin saw this and immediately teased him.
Cong Rong smiled and said, "No problem, Hero Jing Long."
Xiao He said faintly from the side, "Alright, stop being so cocky. Hurry up and clean up and go to sleep. What do you mean by kicking the flood dragon of the four seas? You're the dragon of the flood dragons. If you keep talking, won't you kick yourself to death?"
Jing Long blushed, smiled at Cong Rong, and rolled his eyes at Xiao He.
Cong Rong also said with a smile, "Then we'll go to rest first! Good night, everyone. "
Cong Rong went straight upstairs with Qi Lin.
Both of them looked abnormally excited, chattering non-stop.
After the two of them went upstairs, Xiao He said lightly, "Ah Cheng, it seems that this Miss Cong is not simple. I'm afraid it's not that simple for her to ask us to come here." Then he started to think again.
Upon hearing that, Jing Long frowned and said, "What are you guys mumbling about? What do you mean by 'not simple'? I think she's just a simple girl. She gave us a place to live. Is that not okay?" After saying that, he looked unhappy.
Hearing Jing Long's words, Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "Xiao Long, don't worry! What you said makes sense. Although it was a coincidence, Miss Cong is still suspected of using us. But it's understandable. After all, our performance today is enough for her to make such a judgment. "
After a long time in Jianghu, some things could not be so simple to believe.
Xiao He also nodded and said, "Well, it's true, but it doesn't matter. Since it's something convenient, let's do it." Then he fell asleep.
