Chapter 144

144 miss shi’s protection

when shi yan came out of the dormitory, she didn’t immediately sweep the shared bicycle to the school gate. she walked, as usual, at a moderate pace.

she didn’t seem to be in a hurry.

half an hour had passed by the time they reached the school gate.

he took a look at his phone and saw that the location was still moving.

the thing she had hidden in jiang rui’s phone case was a mini positioning device.

since her position was still moving, she was not in a hurry.

He stood at the school gate and waited for a while.

it wasn’t too late, just past eight o ‘clock, and there were still many people walking around the school gate. However, Shi Yan stood in a corner where few people passed by. Except for the occasional passing people who glanced at her position, no one came up to strike up a conversation with her.

Shi Yan took a look at her mobile phone from time to time. After about half an hour, the location was fixed.

Shi Yan checked the specific location and took a taxi in that direction.

the destination was a small community with good security. non-community personnel generally could not enter.

But Shi Yan entered easily.

Su chen had told her that he had an apartment here.

She was able to enter this neighborhood easily, which was also the reason why she didn’t ask for help from others, even though she knew that it was difficult for the security guards to get in.

There were many residents in a building. Shi Yan could only find the building based on the location, but she didn’t know which floor Jiang Rui was on. So, she called Jiang Cheng.

When she used Jiang Rui’s phone to call Jiang Cheng, she remembered his phone number.

The call went through quickly.

Ms. Shi, I was just about to call you. I can’t reach Rui ‘er. She’s not answering any video calls or text messages. Does ran ran know everything? ”

jiang cheng spoke before she did, so he must have saved her phone number beforehand.

Jiang Cheng was on a business trip. She and Jiang Rui were in the same school, and their dormitories were close. It was the most convenient for Jiang Rui to find her if she needed anything. Hence, Shi Yan was not surprised that Jiang Cheng had her phone number.

” xuan wanrou must’ve heard some news and came looking for me. however, i told rui ‘er the truth before she could speak. madam jiang left haicheng university in a hurry, probably because she met xuan wanrou and learned something from her. ”

jiang cheng did not ask where xuan wanrou had heard the news from.

he didn’t need to ask to guess what had happened.

He only cared about Jiang Rui.

“Then Rui ‘er is in a daze now.”

” young master jiang, i’m at the silver garden. i put a gps tracker on rui ‘er’s phone this afternoon and followed it here. i’m standing at the bottom of block 9. ”

Jiang Cheng immediately said,”13th Floor, room 1302!” this apartment is my 18th birthday present to rui ‘er. she should be upstairs. the access code is 594312. Miss Shi, please help me look after Rui ‘er for a while. I’ll rush back as soon as I’m done!”

Jiang Cheng didn’t like to reveal his emotions, but he didn’t hide his anxiety at all.

” rui ‘er probably needs some time to calm down. young master jiang, you don’t have to be so anxious. even if you rush back now, she might not want to see you. ” Shi Yan said honestly.

” i’ll rush back as soon as possible regardless of whether she sees me or not. i’ll have to trouble miss shi tonight. ”

then, young master Jiang, you can go back to your work. You don’t have to worry about anything else for now. I’ve called grandma Jiang, and she’ll keep an eye on you.

In other words, since she wanted to finish her work as soon as possible and rush back, she should focus on her work and not care about anything else.

this “other” naturally referred to kong xiangxiang.

“alright, thank you for your trouble, miss shi.”

Knowing Jiang Rui’s floor and the access code, Shi Yan quickly entered the building and took the elevator to 1302 on the 13th floor.

She didn’t ring the doorbell and put down the bag on her back.

The bag was the one Jiang che had given her.

it was made of white fabric and had lotus flower embroidery.

She took out a square blanket from her bag and spread it out in front of room 1302. Then she sat down and leaned against the wall. She took out a thick book from her bag.

he didn’t look through it immediately, but took out his phone and sent jiang che a wechat message.

Shi Yan said, [ ah che, I won’t be calling you tonight. Something happened to Rui ‘er. I have to take care of her. ]

The other party replied very quickly, almost within seconds.

[ where are you? ] teacher Jiang asked.

since she was looking after jiang rui, she was definitely not in the dormitory. she could not have gone to jiang rui’s dormitory to look after her, and jiang rui could not have come to her dormitory to make it convenient for her to look after her.

shi yan didn’t hide anything and directly replied, ” [ silver garden. ]

Teacher Jiang: [ just the two of you? ]

In fact, she was alone. Jiang Rui was in the room while she was outside.

Of course, she would definitely not reply that way.

[ yeah, just the two of us. ]

He sent another message: [ Mr. Jiang, don’t worry. The security at Silver Garden is very good. Nothing will happen. ]

[ in this situation, you won’t be able to attend the military training as usual tomorrow. Do you need me to help you apply for leave? ]

[ no need, I’ve already texted grandma Jiang. She’ll help Rui ‘er and me to apply for leave. ]

[ okay. ]

[ miss shi, it’s important to take care of your friends, but don’t forget to take care of yourself. ]

seeing this message, shi yan’s lips curled up slightly and she sent a voice message. ” i know, mr. jiang. don’t worry. rest early. good night. ”

Mr. Jiang replied, [ good night, miss Shi. ] (voice message) ]

His voice still carried a familiar clear and warm feeling.

shi yan’s eyebrows slightly curved. she clicked on the voice message and listened to it again. after listening to it, she held the phone with both hands and laughed silently for a moment. then, she put the phone down and prepared to open the book.

however, her cell phone rang.

Fortunately, it was a vibration, so the sound was not loud.

Shi Yan picked up the phone and looked at it.

it was an unknown number.

“Hello, who is this?”

“Miss Shi.” The other party shouted.

Shi Yan recognized the voice. It was Kong Xiangxiang.

“so it’s first madam, what’s the matter?” Her tone was gentle and calm, and no one could hear any emotions.

“It’s like this, miss Shi and Rui ‘er are in the same school, so I would like to ask miss Shi to help take care of Rui’ er. Rui ‘er has never been away from home for so long since she was young, I’m a little worried.”

Kong Xiangxiang stammered. She didn’t know if it was because of Jiang Rui’s matter or because she had previously caused trouble for Shi Yan, but she was a little embarrassed to ask Shi Yan for help.

Or perhaps both.

however, after shi yan heard her words, she learned something.

Kong Xiangxiang still didn’t know about the discussions on Haicheng University’s campus forum.

however, it didn’t matter. at the latest, by tomorrow, those who should know would know.

There were so many students at Haicheng University, so there were bound to be some children from different circles. The news spread like wildfire. Perhaps before Kong Xiangxiang could verify it herself, the news that Jiang Rui was not the biological daughter of the Jiang family had already spread throughout the upper-class circle of Haicheng.

” rui ‘er and i are friends. even if the first lady didn’t say these things, i would still take care of her. ”

“Miss Shi, thank you.”

After a pause, she continued. miss Shi, if, if you hear any bad news in school, please comfort Rui ‘er. Tell her not to believe the rumors.

kong xiangxiang thought that shi yan would ask what the bad news was, but she heard shi yan say directly, ” “Alright, don’t worry, first Madam.”

she didn’t seem to be interested in it.

or rather, she didn’t seem to be curious.

thinking of shi yan’s indifferent personality, he felt that it was normal for her to not be curious.

” then, i’ll have to trouble miss shi to take care of rui ‘er. i’ll hang up first and won’t disturb miss shi. ”

“goodbye.” after shi yan finished speaking, she waited for the other party to hang up before hanging up.

Just as he was about to put down his phone and open his book, his phone rang again.

Shi Yan fell silent. Before she came to Haicheng, her cell phone barely rang a few times a year. She had just arrived in Haicheng, but the number of calls she received in one night was almost the same as the number of calls she received in the past few months.
