Chapter 190
She Is From The Countryside
190 Someone wants to see the fifth Lord
âiâll see if miss shi will take advantage of me and leave secretly.â
shi yan smiled gently and quietly.âOf course not, Iâm not the kind of person who takes responsibility. teacher jiang, get up and pack up. letâs go to the su family.â
Oh? â Jiang che paused and asked, â is it okay for me to go with you? â
of course itâs okay. Teacher Jiang, itâs not like you canât be seen, why are you hiding? â It would be best if everyone knew that they were on good terms, and it would be best if the news spread to the capital so that everyone knew.
jiang cheâs eyes flickered. he stared at her for a few seconds, then his gaze moved to her neck.
Shi Yan immediately understood what he meant. She smiled and waved the concealer in her hand. â iâll go and deal with it. you get up and go back to bamboo garden to pack up and change your clothes. then, come here and have dinner with me. iâll ask sister zhao to send it over. â
it was lunch time, so it was not too much trouble to ask xiao zhao to help prepare lunch.
when shi yan came out of the bathroom with concealer, jiang che was already dressed.
the brand new shirt she had changed into last night was wrinkled. but with jiang cheâs looks and temperament, even in the crumpled shirt, he still looked dazzling.
she returned to her gentle and reserved appearance.
Jiang che had already removed the bed sheets and blankets. When Shi Yan came out of the bathroom, Jiang che directly placed them in the washing machine.
The two of them then went downstairs.
xiao zhao, who was sitting in the living room, was shocked when he saw the two of them coming downstairs.
She knew that the two of them might be together, but she didnât expect it to be here!
his gaze shifted from shi yanâs elegant and graceful face to jiang che.
His shirt was crumpled, and the marks on his neck could be seen clearly even from such a distance. Even his small arm, which was exposed from his half-rolled up sleeves, seemed to have a scratch.
he looked like he had been ravaged.
xiao zhaoâs mouth was wide open in shock. she seemed to have stumbled upon something incredible again, and it seemed to be even more incredible than the previous few times!
however, she didnât dare to look at it for too long. she quickly glanced at it and then looked away.
âfifth lord, miss shi!â he quickly stood up and greeted them.
Shi Yan didnât seem to notice her shock. She smiled and said,âMs. Zhao, please send lunch for two people. Thank you.â
âo-okay!â He asked her to call someone to send him, but Xiao Zhao did not dare to stay here any longer. He answered and ran away.
Shi Yan laughed and the two of them came down the stairs.
shi yan handed the concealer to jiang che and her gaze fell on his neck. â â go back, pack up and cover yourself. after all, youâre going to meet the elders. â
Jiang che didnât take it. He took a look at the concealer and his gaze fell back on her face. His eyes were as gentle as water as he smiled. With his hands in his pockets, he leaned in and kissed her on the corner of her lips.âNo, Ms. Shi, help me put it on later.â
without waiting for shi yanâs response, he chuckled and left her courtyard.
By the time Jiang che returned to Bamboo Garden to pack up and eat with Shi Yan, an hour had already passed. after the meal, jiang che pestered shi yan to help him apply concealer. they dawdled for another half an hour.
It was almost three O âclock in the afternoon when the two of them left Shi Yanâs courtyard and got into the car.
sitting in the car, shi yan looked at jiang cheâs hand on the steering wheel, his sleeves half-rolled up, and then turned to look at his face.
The concealer was very effective, and no traces could be seen after applying it, but the scratch marks on his forearm and the slight bite marks on the corner of his lips were very obvious.
sensing her gaze, jiang che looked at her and raised his eyebrows slightly.âWhatâs wrong?â
âItâs nothing,â shi yan pursed her lips and smiled as she shook her head.
If it was obvious, so be it.
Jiang che looked at her side profile, his gaze falling on her slightly curved eyebrows. He didnât say anything, but the smile in his eyes deepened.
âDo I need to bring anything?â
âIâm passing by a shopping mall to buy some gifts.â Shi Yan said.
Shi Yan took out her phone from her bag. â i havenât contacted rui âer since i separated from her at the café yesterday. iâll give her a call. â
Jiang che focused on driving and didnât make a sound to disturb her.
Shi Yan hung up the phone two minutes later.
Rui âer is at her parentsâ place at clear moon Bay. Sheâs not with young master Jiang.
âWorried?â Jiang che looked at her.
â iâm a little worried. rui âerâs tone doesnât sound right, but when i asked her if sheâs okay, she said nothing. â
Her worry was true, but Shi Yan could roughly guess what had happened. After all, Jiang Rui had left with Jiang Cheng yesterday.
however, jiang rui and jiang chengâs matter was just a matter of time, so it was better to deal with it earlier.
â donât worry, â jiang che said. â jiang cheng isnât stupid. â
If he couldnât even handle such a small matter, Jiang Cheng wouldnât be worthy of being the head of the Jiang family in Sea city.
It would be best to deal with it quickly so that his people wouldnât always be distracted.
as the two spoke, the car drove out of the jiang familyâs mansion.
a car passed by the entrance of the jiang familyâs mansion.
he only saw an unfamiliar man sitting in the driverâs seat. he looked like the driver, but he didnât know who was sitting in the back.
Shi Yan glanced at it but didnât take it to heart.
Jiang che didnât even look at him.
the two of them went to the mall to buy some things before going to the su familyâs house.
after the car that passed by them entered the jiang familyâs mansion, the butler, jiang hai, came out to receive them personally.
After the car was parked, the driver got out first and walked over to open the back door.
A charming woman in a professional suit got out of the car.
â miss xuan, hello. may i know why youâve suddenly come to visit? â
âiâm sorry for coming here so abruptly. I came to Haicheng to deal with some matters, so I came to visit an old friend on the way. I wonder if fifth Lord Jiang is here now?â
Although Xuan Siyun said she was impolite, her attitude wasnât low at all, but she didnât give people the feeling of being overbearing.
He wasnât overbearing, but he had a strong aura.
the bearing of an heir of an aristocratic family was on full display.
jiang hai sighed in his heart. these young people from the capitalâs influential families didnât look simple! He dared to come to the fifth Lordâs house directly, and he came only half an hour in advance. He was not simple.
without any confirmation, even though he knew that jiang che and shi yan had just gone out, jiang hai did not say anything. he only said, â âIâm sorry, miss Xuan. Our fifth Lord is not in good health and is not seeing guests.â
âplease help me inform the fifth lord,â xuan siyun looked at him.
âIâve already told him that our Lord five is not seeing any guests,â Jiang hai replied with an unchanged expression.
miss Xuan, please come in. Something has happened at home recently. Other than the eldest master, first Madam, first young master, and first young miss, everyone else is at home. Iâll go and invite the second master and second Madam to receive you.
Xuan Siyunâs brows finally furrowed.
â miss xuan, â jiang hai said, â since youâre fifth lordâs friend, you must know his situation. heâs barely left the house for three years. â not to mention people coming to see him, itâs difficult for our old lady to even see fifth master.â
âWhen I found out that miss Xuan was coming, I summoned up my courage and contacted Jiang Lin, who is by the fifth Lordâs side. jiang lin has already conveyed fifth lordâs intention to not see any guests. iâm afraid of angering fifth lord, so i really donât dare to disturb him anymore. i hope miss xuan can forgive me. â
