Chapter 286
She Is From The Countryside
286 chapter 286 xie hengâs lack of information
shi yan glanced at him and said, â master xie, you donât have to apologize. this matter was the intention of the elders in the family. it wasnât your responsibility. you canât be blamed. â
Xie Heng looked at her and did not speak for a long time.
he didnât speak, and shi yan had already greeted him politely, so it wouldnât be rude if he didnât say anything more. she nodded slightly at him, walked over, and sat down.
After walking in high heels for a day, her feet were a little tired. She had to wait for people here and there, so it was easier for her to sit than to stand.
xie heng did not leave.
however, he didnât sit down. instead, he stood there and looked at shi yan.âNo matter what, I am responsible for this. Now that I think about it, it canât make up for anything. If you need my help in the future, just let me know, miss Shi Yan.â
Shi Yan didnât respond to his words, but said indifferently, â âThank you for your kind words, patriarch.â
âMiss Shi Yan, has Zhenzhen been living in this small town all these years?â
shi yan was a little surprised to hear his question.
news of her and jiang cheâs relationship in haicheng had spread like wildfire, so it should have reached the capital long ago. Even if others did not know that the person beside Jiang che was her, with Xie Hengâs ability, when he heard those rumors, even if he did not investigate it in detail, he should have linked it to the Shi family and her.
Seeing the surprise in Shi Yanâs eyes, Xie Heng explained,âiâm responsible for miss shi yanâs departure. iâve been sending people to find you all these years, and i want to apologize to you in person. Unfortunately, the Shi family has hidden your information very well. Even I canât find any traces of you, only roughly knowing that youâre in a remote place far from the capital.â
this small town was very far from the capital, and could be considered a remote place.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIâm sorry for investigating miss Shi Yanâs whereabouts without her permission.â
over the years, many people had investigated her whereabouts, but shi yan didnât care much.
with the shi family obstructing them, no one could find out.
She just felt a little strange. She didnât expect Xie Heng to be so out of touch with the news. It seemed like he thought she had been living in this small town all these years and had never left Xuanji.
â itâs fine. there are many people tracking my whereabouts. thank you, patriarch. there arenât many. â
âBut I havenât been living here all these years. Heâs here for a vacation with his roommates. One of my roommates is from here.â
since someone had asked, she couldnât refuse to answer. it wasnât something she couldnât say.
âTravel? with your roommates?â a touch of surprise flashed in xie hengâs long and beautiful eyes.
However, he quickly retracted his emotions and returned to his expressionless self.
â i had an accident not long ago and had to recuperate in this town for three months. it was not convenient for me to reveal my whereabouts, so i did not know much about the outside world. i did not know that miss shi yan had entered university. â
she went to school step by step. it was indeed time for her to enter the university campus this year.
However, he had always thought that she had either skipped a grade and completed her studies long ago, or she was content with staying in a corner and not going to college.
he thought that she would avoid everyone for the rest of her life.
shi yan didnât respond to his words to change the topic to her. she just showed her concern out of courtesy.âis clan head xie injured? are you alright?â
â itâs not a fatal injury. iâve almost recovered after three months of recuperation. thank you for your concern, miss shi yan. â
when xie heng said this, the way he looked at shi yan was somewhat different.
However, it wasnât obvious and disappeared in a flash. Even Shi Yan didnât catch it.
âItâs good that youâre fine.â
looking around, xie heng didnât see anyone who seemed to be her companion. he couldnât help but ask,âsince youâre traveling with your classmates, why donât i see miss shi yan alone?â
âTheyâre taking pictures on the city wall.â
xie heng didnât ask her why she didnât follow.
she had a quiet personality, and he was already surprised that she could travel with her classmates. it was normal for her not to join in the fun.
âIf you donât mind me asking, which university does miss Shi Yan attend?â
It was definitely not Capital University.
Otherwise, even if he was ill-informed, it was impossible for him to not have any news at all.
It was just that it was not appropriate for him to contact the outside world during this period of time, but it was not that he did not have any contact with the outside world at all.
â haicheng university. â shi yan answered.
xie heng didnât know that what happened in the outside world was because of his injury. when he wasnât afraid of leaking his whereabouts, it would be easy to find out which school she was in.
She had nothing to hide.
haicheng university?
The SU family was in Haicheng, and the First Lady of the Shi family had also studied at Haicheng University. It was not surprising that she would choose Haicheng University.
âSo youâre at Haicheng University. When you go to Haicheng, Iâll be miss Shi Yan again to show my sincerity in apologizing.â
Shi Yan only took his words as polite.
âthank you for your kind words, patriarch.â
At this moment, the mobile phone in Shi Yanâs bag rang.
after apologizing to xie heng, shi yan picked up the phone. it was ren kexin.
Iâm not under the city wall. Iâm in a Pavilion near the river. Are you done filming? â
âIâll go find you.â
ren kexin said there was no need, so they came to look for her in case they got lost.
âOkay, Iâll wait for you here. Iâll send you my location.â
Her clear voice was like a trickle of water, with a bit of her usual indifference, but it did not make people feel that her attitude was cold.
Not only was he not cold, but his attitude was even considered warm to her.
she had a good relationship with her classmates.
this was xie hengâs conclusion.
Before the age of ten, the young lady of the Shi family was very quiet and did not have the impetuousness that children of her age should have. her favorite thing to do was to sit down and read quietly. other than a few juniors of the shi family, there were almost no children of the same age who were close to her.
in other words, she didnât have many friends.
She didnât seem to have any interest in making friends.
he was clearly not an unsociable person, but his lifestyle was similar to that of an unsociable child.
even the shi family did not know how she was raised to be so calm and quiet. they only said that she had been like this since she was a child.
after she hung up, xie heng said, â since miss shi yanâs companions are coming, i wonât disturb you any longer. how long do you plan to stay in this town? â
âMy roommateâs travel guide said itâs the day before the holiday ends.â
there were still a few days left.
xie hengâs eyes moved slightly,âi also plan to leave after the holiday. if i can find time at that time, iâd like to ask miss shi yan out for a meal.â iâve been living here for three months and iâm already very familiar with this place. i know where the food is better.â
Shi Yan looked up at him and saw that his expression was normal, as if he was just being polite.
she didnât directly refuse him and said,âthank you for your concern, patriarch.â
âSince thatâs the case, I wonder if itâs convenient for miss Shi Yan to leave your contact information? Iâll contact you when Iâm done with my work and miss Shi Yan hasnât left the town yet.â
Shi Yan was silent.
this kasaya
His words werenât too abrupt, mainly because she didnât reject him directly when he said he would treat her to a meal if he could.
