Chapter 339
She Is From The Countryside
?
339 Donât worry with me around
when she realized that shi yan and jiang che were beside her, jiang yun was shocked and quickly greeted them, â âFifth uncle, miss Shi.â
Compared to her, Jiang Yu was much calmer.
She first greeted Jiang che, then turned to Shi Yan.âMiss Shi.â
âi heard that miss shi is holding an apprenticeship banquet today, so i followed my cousin to join in the fun. Professor li bingfeng is a well-known figure in the academic circle. Since Ms. Shi is under professor Liâs tutelage, her future achievements will definitely not be low. Congratulations.â
Shi Yan glanced at him and said with a smile,âthank you.â
youâre our guests. Have a good time, third young master Jiang.
She retracted her gaze and focused on dancing with Jiang che.
their eyes met. without her saying anything, jiang che pulled her to the music and dance to the other side, further away from jiang yu and jiang yun.
âYou have something to say?â Jiang che asked her.
Shi Yan glanced at Jiang Yu and said, â âThe third young master of the Jiang family is really strange. If he is hostile to you, he is a little too calm. If he doesnât have any enmity towards you, then itâs not quite similar to the kind of person like the Jiang familyâs third young miss who has good intentions towards you.â
âbut thereâs one thing i can be sure of.â
âwhat?â
It was rare to see her willing to discuss such things with him. Jiang che was very interested, not in the matter itself, but in discussing it with her.
âheâs trying to get close to you and me,â shi yan looked up at him and said with a smile.
as for whether he was deliberately trying to get close to her or jiang che, shi yan was not sure.
if they approached him on purpose, they would either be enemies or friends.
but jiang yu didnât look like one.
shi yan would find her strange.
âdonât worry, itâs best if the shi family knows their place. if they donât, weâll solve it. with me around, they wonât be able to do much.â
jiang cheâs gentle tone was filled with confidence.
Shi Yan looked up at his gentle yet arrogant appearance and smiled faintly.
as expected of the fifth lord jiang, he had such courage.
she blinked and looked at him. â with teacher jiang around, iâm naturally not worried. iâm just casually chatting with you. â
he knew that she was just trying to coax him, but her complete trust in him, as if she didnât have to worry about anything with him around, made jiang che very happy.
The banquet officially ended at around three in the afternoon.
the customers left one after another.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
shi bozhen caught up with professor li and his wife, who were heading to the parking lot.
âProfessor li, please hold on.â
the two of them stopped and turned around to see the young man running towards them.
Qu Bolin was one of the top celebrities in the entertainment industry. Even though the two professors did not pay much attention to the entertainment industry, they had heard of his name.
Naturally, after the banquet, they also knew that he was Shi Yanâs second brother. There were too many people at the banquet, so they only greeted him briefly and didnât talk in detail.
She didnât expect him to suddenly catch up.
âSecond young master Shi, why did you stop me?â in front of outsiders, li bingfeng had the image of a dignified scholar. he had a straight face and looked a little serious.
âiâm yanyanâs brother. professor li is yanyanâs teacher. you canât call me that. you can just call me by my name. iâm shi bozhen.â
Professor li didnât dwell on the form of address and asked directly, â âWhatâs the matter, Bokun?â
âI heard your conversation with Yanyan just now. Youâve known Yanyan for a few years, right?â
professor li nodded and looked at him.
He could roughly guess why Shi Bozhen had stopped him.
âMay I ask, where did you meet Yanyan?â
meeting professor liâs gaze, shi bozhen didnât hide anything. he smiled bitterly and said, â âItâs like this. Because of some matters, Yanyan left home for nine years. I also left home for nine years. The elders in the family have deliberately stopped me from finding out where Yanyan has gone all these years. I want to know where she has been living all these years.â
âI canât find it myself, and I canât ask Yanyan, so I can only ask you.â
In fact, after visiting the Jiang family in Haicheng, he and Shi Bochen had both sent people to investigate where old Madam Jiang had met Shi Yan three years ago.
he had a rough idea of the province.
they didnât know which county or town they were in, and it wasnât easy to find out.
Shi boxiang only came to ask him about it after learning that Shi Yan had known professor li in the past few years.
professor li did not answer him. instead, he asked, â âWhy canât you go and ask little Yan?â
shi bozhenâs smile turned bitter, carrying a hint of self-blame and guilt. â âsomething happened nine years ago. iâm afraid that yanyan will be unhappy if i mention it again.â
Professor li understood what he meant.
even if he didnât know what exactly happened, it couldnât be a small matter to force a ten-year-old daughter of a noble family to leave home.
at least, based on his understanding of shi yan, she didnât care about many people or things. she wouldnât be forced to such an extent by ordinary matters.
âDid you just say that youâve also run away from home for nine years?â
Shi pochen nodded.
Even if he didnât ask in detail, it wasnât difficult for professor li to guess that Shi Yan had something to do with his running away from home from his expression.
âfive years ago, i went to a newly discovered site with an archeologist team to investigate. the site was in wu county of yun province. i met the yan girl in a mountain in wu county. at that time, she was picking herbs alone in the mountain.â
wu county of yun province?
Shi Bozhen wasnât bad at geography, so he knew this place.
it was a very cheap and poor county, and it was said that it had only been out of poverty in recent years.
yanyan had lived there for so many years?
Ever since he came to Haicheng, he had always heard that old lady Jiangâs Savior was from the countryside. If she had lived in Wu County of Yun province all these years, she would really be from the countryside.
Shi Bozhen didnât ask professor li for Shi Yanâs specific address over the years. It wasnât difficult to find out if the scope was narrowed down to the county.
he collected his emotions and said to professor li solemnly, â âmany thanks.â
Professor li and professor Chen left. After a few steps, professor li stopped and said to him, â I donât know what happened, and I wonât ask. After all, this is your familyâs private matter. But I see that you have a good relationship with your sister Yan, so Iâll talk to you a little more.
âBack then, to thank Yan âer for saving my life, I went to the small farmyard where she lived. The house was made of mud and tiles, and the yard was filled with vegetables and chickens. There was a lot of firewood that had been cut from the mountain. Sheâs living alone, so she must have done all these things herself.â
âThese things are nothing to ordinary farmerâs children, but for girls like you who came from a family, Iâm afraid youâve suffered a lot.â
It wasnât just suffering. Shi Bocheng didnât even dare to think about it.
One must know that when she was still at home, not to mention planting vegetables, raising chickens, and chopping firewood, she didnât even need to pick a flower in the garden herself.
After a long time, Shi boxiao moved his lips and said with some difficulty, â âThank you for the information.â
He wanted to go to the place where Yanyan had lived all these years to take a look, but the new drama was about to start shooting. He was afraid that he would not have time when he joined the crew.
It would probably take some time.
