She Is From The Countryside



569 informing and agreeing to the marriage

“With that stubborn temper of hers, would I dare to interfere in her marriage? In another ten years, I don’t know if these old bones of mine can survive until then!”

these words were said in a daze.

Well, it was not without reason.

The others were silent.

“It’s a good thing that she has good taste and didn’t just pick a random person to deal with the matter. Otherwise, even if she caused trouble for another ten years, I would still be the bad person who broke up the couple! hmph, there are only a few young people who are worthy of my daughter. she’s lucky to have met one of them when she visited other houses.”

it wasn’t hard to hear shi chen’s satisfaction with jiang che.

He was in charge of the family before he was of age, and the huge Jiang family was thriving under his control. He was able to give up everything when he was at the peak of power and was not blinded by power. Moreover, he could not let himself be in a weak position after giving up the power of the family.

The word “outstanding” was not enough to describe such a young man.

not to mention, everyone had seen how protective he was of shi yan.

out of affection, he had not touched the yun family and the bai family, but to vent his girlfriend’s anger, he had attacked these two families.

“how can this be described as luck?” xie xi n didn’t agree with him.

“You should say that this is the fate of the two children.”

Even if they didn’t understand Jiang che in the past, they now understood him very well because of Shi Yan.

he had lived in seclusion for three years and rarely met any guests. even the jiang family in haicheng rarely saw him during these three years. yanyan had just moved into the jiang family’s old house in haicheng and met him not long ago. the two of them even met each other. if it wasn’t fate, what else could it be?

“yanyan has been a child with ideas since she was young. since he’s the person she chose, he can’t be bad. i can tell that you’re very satisfied with that child of the jiang family, so let’s not interfere in their affairs.”

as soon as xie xi n finished speaking, shi chen disagreed, ” “Who says I’m satisfied with him?”

“don’t think i don’t know that they’re already preparing for the engagement party! for such a big matter like an engagement, he actually made his own decision without even informing the elders. how impolite! i’m not satisfied with him just for this!”

This was indeed inappropriate, but wasn’t that because of their family’s special situation?

Until now, they more or less understood how Jiang che treated Yanyan. They didn’t think that Jiang che would neglect Yanyan’s marriage.

Indeed, Shi Chen thought so too. He also knew that Jiang che would come to them soon to discuss their marriage.

however, shi xun still had to be angry.

no matter what, shi yan was still a child in their eyes. many of them still had the impression that shi yan was ten years old.

just like that, it became someone else’s. no matter if the person satisfied them or not, they couldn’t help but have opinions about him.

after so many years, the shi family had finally gathered everyone to eat in the restaurant.

The Shi family was a well-mannered family. In addition, none of them were talkative. They did not talk about serious business at the dining table. Even if someone did speak occasionally, it was just some insignificant idle chat.

su asked shi yan to stay the night. shi yan didn’t agree, but she didn’t leave immediately.

After lunch, she stayed at home for another half a day.

She was returning to her own courtyard.

su wan gave the younger generation some space and did not follow them. only the shi brothers accompanied shi yan.

She had returned to the courtyard to take a look before lunch.

the courtyard was still the same as she was familiar with, and it could even be said to be exactly the same as when she left. it could be seen that someone had carefully taken care of it all these years.

the courtyard wasn’t big. it was a small building, a courtyard with a beautiful view, and a lotus pond with a long corridor and a pavilion.

It was the quiet environment that Shi Yan liked.

After sitting there for a while, Shi Boran and Shi Bochen left first as they had something to do at school. Only Shi boyu and Shi Boxun were left.

The three of them didn’t sit in the room, but in the pavilion in the middle of the Lotus pond.

shi boyu was playing chess with shi yan, while shi boxun was making tea on the side.

the task of making tea was originally shi boyu’s. shi boxiao lost one round to shi yan, so it was shi boyu’s turn to make tea.

After placing a piece, Shi boyu looked at Shi Yan.”big brother and i both received a banquet invitation yesterday. as far as i know, many people in the family also received the same invitation. It’s the banquet invitation from Yanyun Manor. Have you heard of Yanyun Manor?”

hearing this, shi boxiang stopped what he was doing and looked at the two.

Obviously, he was also very interested in the topic of Shi boyu.

They all knew that it was impossible for Shi Yan and Jiang che to return to the capital without doing anything. The only major event in the capital over the next few days was the banquet at the mysterious Yanyun Manor.

no one associated shi yan and jiang che with yanyun manor, but the banquet at yanyun manor was being held at this time, so people couldn’t help but think more.

shi yan’s hand that was holding a white piece paused and she looked up at shi boyu.

“Yes, I’ve heard of it,” she replied with a faint smile after a few seconds.

“the banquet is tomorrow.” Shi boyu said as he looked at her.

“En, I know. It should be very lively at that time. Third brother, if you have the time, you can go and take a look.”

shi boyu stared at her for a few seconds before asking, ” “will you go?”

“Of course.” shi yan smiled. ” there’s no reason not to go when there’s a show to watch. ”

However, she was not the type to enjoy a lively atmosphere.

the answer was already obvious. shi boyu didn’t ask further, and shi boxun also retracted his gaze and continued to brew tea.

halfway through the game, shi bozhen poured them each a cup of tea.

After a cup of tea, someone walked towards the pavilion.

it was the old madam of the second branch, shen yan.

Knowing that she had something to say to Shi Yan alone, Shi boyu and Shi Boxun took the initiative to get up and leave. Once they left, the game would no longer continue.

shi yan and shen yan sat across from each other at the tea table. shi yan poured a cup of tea for shen yan.

” second brother and third brother made this tea together. second grandmother, have a taste. ”

“Thank you,” he said. Shen Yan thanked him and took it. She was a little overwhelmed by the favor, which was a sharp contrast to Shi Yan’s calm and indifferent attitude.

After drinking half a cup of tea, she slowly recovered.

she didn’t speak during this time, and neither did shi yan. In terms of patience, few people could compare to Shi Yan.

” yanyan, i’m here to apologize to you in person. it was my family who let you down for what happened to wanwan back then. logically speaking, your second grandpa, second uncle, and second aunt should also come here to personally apologize to you. i was afraid that they would scare you, so i didn’t ask them to come. ”

on the first day she returned home, the whole family came to look for her. those who didn’t know would think that they were here to intimidate her. so, after much consideration, the second branch sent shen yan alone.

Shi Yan lifted her teacup and glanced at her. She smiled and said,”second grandma, you’re too serious. Let the past stay in the past. Besides, I should be the one who’s sorry to second brother. If not for me, second brother would not have left home for so many years.”

“no, no, no, it’s not like that. it’s not your fault that your second brother ran away from home. it’s our second branch who made a mistake and deserves to be punished. We’re not asking for your forgiveness, but we hope that you can try to let go of these things. Just like what your grandmother said, you still have a long life ahead of you. Don’t let the past always hold you back.”

Shen Yan didn’t stay any longer. She left with her apologies.

shi yan was the only one left in the pavilion. he held his tea but didn’t drink it. he stared at the withered lotus pond as if in a daze.

“yanyan,”

after some time, a voice pulled her back from her thoughts.

in fact, she didn’t know what she was thinking about when she was in a daze just now. it seemed like she wasn’t thinking about anything.

xie xi n walked over and sat directly in front of her where shen yan had been sitting. unlike the others, he didn’t care about shi yan’s mood after she returned home, nor did he come to express his apology like shen yan.

After she sat down, she said to Shi Yan,”pour me a cup too.” &Nbsp;

Shi Yan poured her a cup.

the two of them sat opposite each other, drinking tea quietly. no one spoke.

It was not until he finished the cup of tea that Xie Xi n spoke, ” “This courtyard of yours is still the same as it was in the past. It’s the quietest place in this residence.”

shi yan glanced at her and then retracted her gaze.”yes, it’s very quiet.”

it’s a good match for you. You’ve been quiet since you were young. When your peers like to make a fuss, you can sit down and read all day.

shi yan didn’t answer her. she said, what were you thinking about all those years when you were sitting quietly and reading books? ”

“I’m not thinking about anything. I’m just memorizing the contents of the book.”

She wasn’t too sure.

Perhaps most of the time, she was memorizing the contents of the book, but occasionally, she was not so focused that she would be absent-minded. As for what she was thinking when she was absent-minded, she did not know.

perhaps it was the same as when she was in a daze just now. she didn’t think about anything, or perhaps she was thinking a lot.

“do you still like to read?”

“yes.”

“it’s pretty good. young people are most afraid of being impetuous. it’s very rare that you can maintain this calmness for ten years.”

“i heard that the child of the jiang family also likes peace and quiet?”

“Yes.”

even though it was just a simple word, xie xi n could tell that shi yan’s mood was slightly different from just now.

at the mention of jiang che, she seemed to become more alive.

It wasn’t obvious, but it couldn’t be hidden.

“it’s pretty good.” Xie Xi n said.

His gaze fell on the ring Shi Yan was wearing.

shi yan didn’t take off her ring when she returned to the shi family’s house. the others in the main hall had noticed it just now, but no one pointed it out.

It was no secret in the Shi family that they were already preparing for the engagement party.

“Find a time to bring her back for a visit.” Xie Xi n met Shi Yan’s gaze and added, ” this is what I want, and it’s also what your grandfather and your parents want.

She was indirectly telling Shi Yan that they had agreed to her marriage with Jiang che.

Of course, Shi Yan understood.

“i’ll bring him back the morning after tomorrow.”

It was five o ‘clock in the afternoon when Shi Yan left the Shi family.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw a familiar car parked by the side of the road. Jiang che opened the door and got out of the car, smiling at her gently.”Miss Shi, I’m here to pick you up.”

When Shi Yan saw him, she felt her entire body relax.

she didn’t know why she felt this way. she clearly felt very comfortable staying at home for most of the day and didn’t feel depressed at all.

she ran towards him and threw herself into his open arms.

The two of them hugged each other tightly for a while. Shi Yan slowly raised her head from his arms and looked at him.”Have you been waiting here all this time?”

” no, i left halfway to deal with some things. i guessed that you would come out at this time, so i just arrived. ”

“Yes.” Shi Yan hugged him tighter and buried her face in his arms.

“aren’t you curious where i went?”

She raised her head and rested her chin on his chest. She asked softly, ” “Where did he go?”

“the jiang family.”

Shi Yan’s heart suddenly thumped. She quickly let go of him and looked him up and down. After making sure that his mood was stable and not affected, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

“Why did you go by yourself? You should have told me. I’ll go with you.”

why? ” Jiang che smiled and ruffled her long hair. are you afraid that I’ll be bullied? ”

she was indeed afraid that he would be bullied.

even though it would be difficult for him to be bullied, the jiang family still treated him differently.

“No, I just want to keep you company.”

jiang zhi’s heart softened. he held her face and kissed her on the lips.”I’ll let you accompany me next time. get in the car, i’ll take you to eat something.”

It was impossible for Jiang che to be bullied. If he returned to the Jiang family, the ones who would suffer would only be the other members of the Jiang family.

a few hours ago, jiang che had sent shi yan to the shi family. after shi yan entered the gate of the shi family, he stayed outside the shi family’s mansion for nearly an hour before leaving.

Before that, su mu and su chen had already left.

he went straight to the jiang residence after leaving the shi residence.
