She Is From The Countryside

361 shi bozhenâs blame
Doctors did not have such an intimidating aura.
Su Wan had never seen such an aura from Shi Lin, the previous head of the Shi family. She had only seen it from her father-in-law, who was also the previous head of the Shi family.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
If one wasnât a person who had been in a high position for a long time, one definitely wouldnât be able to have such an intimidating aura with a single look.
And he quickly reined in his emotions.
in the blink of an eye, he had turned into a completely different person.
her temperament was like an orchid, white as the moon, gentle and harmless.
how could such a person be as simple as a doctor?
a person from the capital?
su wan searched her mind. there were not many young people as outstanding as him in the capital. she had never heard of such an outstanding young man.
did yanyan know about his background?
Shi Yan didnât know about the interaction between Jiang che and su Wan. She didnât even know that su Wan was watching them from a distance.
she buried her head in jiang cheâs arms and waited for the heat on her face to gradually dissipate before she looked up from his arms. she hugged his waist tightly and leaned her chin against his chest, looking up at him.âAre you leaving now?â
Jiang che retracted his gaze and placed a hand on her face, gently caressing her delicate cheek. His gaze was gentle.âyes.â
when he saw shi yan and su wan, his emotions also disappeared.
he wasnât someone who was easily provoked. after the initial shock, he regained his calm.
he was not nervous or anything else.
it wasnât that he could be so calm in front of his future mother-in-law because she didnât care about shi yan enough. it was just his nature. in addition, he always remembered that shi yanâs mental illness was caused by the shi family, so he didnât see su wan as a son-in-law seeing his mother-in-law.
Jiang che lowered his head and kissed Shi Yan on the forehead. He then opened the door to the passenger seat.
âMiss Shi, please.â
He put his hand on the car door and pulled her into the car, as if he didnât want her to see su Wan at this time.
Jiang che only turned to su Wan after Shi Yan got into the car and closed the door.
He nodded at her from afar as a greeting and then went around to the driverâs seat.
their car left first.
shi yan didnât notice su wan even after their car disappeared around the corner.
âYoung miss, do you need to give miss Yan a call?â The driver was an old man of the SU family and had always addressed su Wan as â miss su.
He did not see Shi Yan and Jiang che and thought that Shi Yan was still upstairs.
no need. Sheâs already gone over. Letâs just go over.
su wanâs feelings were complicated.
from the young manâs reaction, he should have recognized her.
He recognized her and even greeted her.
He didnât approach to greet her, nor did he remind Yanyan that she was here.
this was not how a mother should behave when she saw her girlfriend.
Under normal circumstances, if a parent were to see such a scene, even if they would feel nervous, they would still come forward to say hello.
after all, he didnât look like someone who was impolite.
but he didnât. he only nodded from a distance.
From the looks of it, he should know about Yanyanâs entanglement with her family.
then, how did he know?
Did he have a way, or did Yanyan tell him?
no matter what it was, su wan couldnât ignore it.
If he had his own connections, he would not be a nobody in the capital. The marriage between the Shi family and the Xie family was only known to the two families. The outside world was not aware.
The outside world did not know that the young lady of the Shi family had left home early after a conflict with her family. They all thought that she was too well-protected by the Shi family and did not show her face much in public.
if it was yanyan who told him, then she couldnât ignore it.
Yanyan wasnât someone who would easily reveal her thoughts to others. If she even told the other party about the conflict between her and her family and the reason for the conflict, the other partyâs weight in her heart could be seen.
This was not impossible.
she had seen with her own eyes how different yanyan was in front of that young man.
If he didnât care about the other party, how could there be such a difference?
*
Shi Bozhen was the host, and he would come over after the event.
He was the earliest to arrive.
In order to take care of Shi Yan, he had chosen a restaurant not far from Haicheng University.
He had been sitting in the room for about ten minutes when someone knocked on the door. He thought it was a waiter, so he didnât pay much attention to it. He kept his head down and played with his phone.âenter.â
the door of the private room was pushed open.
the person standing at the door was indeed a waiter, but the waiter was there to lead the way.
The waiter stepped aside, revealing qu Xuanâs face.
When qu Xuan saw Shi boxiang sitting at the dining table and playing with his phone, tears rolled down her face.
The door was pushed open, but no one came in. Shi Bozhen looked up in confusion.
When he saw who it was, his hand that was holding the phone paused.
he placed his phone on the table, crossed his legs, and leaned back on the chair, his posture a little unruly. â âMom, long time no see.â
the waiter knew shi bozhen and immediately felt like he had eaten a big melon.
Fortunately, this was a high-end restaurant, so privacy was good. The staff training was also very good, so she quickly collected her emotions and did not look around.
however, she still wanted to watch the show, so she didnât leave immediately.
ânine years, bo xun, nine years! youâre really ruthless enough to refuse to see your family and answer a phone call from home!â
âyour father and i only have one son, and youâre the only grandson your grandparents have. your grandparents are old, and your father and i arenât young anymore. arenât you afraid that weâll suddenly disappear one day and we wonât even be able to see each other one last time? if we didnât come to you personally, were you planning to cut off all contact with us for the rest of your life?â
âBo Yun, who did you get your ruthlessness from!â
shi bozhenâs hands were clasped tightly on his lap, and his expression was still unruly. he smiled and said, â â mom, youâre being too serious. although iâve cut off all contact with my family, itâs not like iâm completely unaware of whatâs going on outside. i have my own sources of information, and iâve always been paying attention to the situation at home. thereâs no way i wonât be able to see them for the last time. â
âbesides, how can i cut off all contact with you guys forever? Donât you think weâre seeing it now?â
âIf it wasnât for Yanyan acting as the middleman, would you be willing to see me?â
Shi boxiao shrugged and said honestly, â âobviously not,â
mom, I feel very guilty and remorseful towards Yanyan. Even after nine years, my guilt and self-blame have not decreased at all.
âhow about you? Where is my dad? Where are my grandparents? Do you feel guilty? are you blaming yourself?â
âYanyan was only ten years old at that time.â
â i didnât see the scene of yanyan being forced to leave home by you, but i can imagine how cruel it would be for yanyan. have you ever thought that a little girl who was forced to leave home at the age of ten would only dream of the scene of her being forced into a corner by her loved ones? â
âthereâs only one girl in the three generations of the shi family, and sheâs the pearl in the palm of the entire family. what you did back then was no different from throwing her from the clouds to the bottom of the valley. Even the 17-year-old me wouldnât be able to take it in Yanyanâs position, let alone Yanyan who was only 10 years old at that time.â
âYanyan has to bear the pain of being forced to leave home by her loved ones and live alone outside. I donât know how much suffering she has to suffer. As the main culprit of all this, mom, I donât have the face to stay at home and enjoy the luxury of life.â
âiâm very glad that i left home that year. otherwise, iâm afraid i wouldnât be able to rest in peace for the rest of my life.â
âIf Yanyan doesnât come home, I probably wonât go back for the rest of my life.â
The more he said, the harder qu Xuan cried.
âBoyun, itâs momâs fault, itâs our fault. Nine years is enough. The punishment for us is enough. iâll beg yanyan to come home and ask your father to apologize to her. iâll persuade your grandparents to come and apologize too. weâll take yanyan home. you, you donât talk to mom like youâre talking to an enemy, aww!â
Shi Bozhenâs tightly clenched hands loosened and clenched again.
He sneered,âisnât it too late to regret it now?â Itâs been nine years, Yanyan is already 19. In another year, she will be at the marriageable age. Do you think she would want to go back now?â
âBesides, mom, you know what Yanyan is like. Do you think she can go back to what happened back then? youâve seen yanyan before, so you should be very clear about this.â
qu xuan covered her face and fell into tears, not saying a word for a long time.
Of course she knew. How could she not know?
Although Yanyan was also mild-tempered when she was young, she would still smile and call her â second aunt â when she saw her. It was a happy occasion.
But now, when Yanyan saw her second aunt, she would still smile and call her second aunt, but she could clearly feel that Yanyan was keeping a distance from her.
seeing her crying so hard, shi bozhen sighed and said, â â forget it. no matter what i say, it wonât change anything. in the future, weâll try our best to make up for yanyan. â
âMom, donât just stand outside the door. Come in.â
He stood up and pulled out a chair.
seeing that he was willing to pull out a chair for her, qu xuan was surprised at first, then pleasantly surprised. after the surprise, she felt even more guilty, and her tears fell even more.
by the time she walked over and sat down, the waiter outside had already closed the door and left after eating a large melon.
shi bozhen knew that there was a waiter present, but he didnât mind.
Even if someone were to expose this matter, he would not stop them.
however, it was obviously impossible to expose it. the shi family would not allow it.
He felt a little regretful.
when shi yan and jiang che arrived, qu xuan had already stopped crying. however, her eyes were very red, and it was obvious that she had cried.
before the two of them arrived, qu xuan and shi boxiang also had a conversation. most of the time, qu xuan was the one asking shi boxiang about his recent situation or when he had seen shi yan.
In short, the topic was not sensitive.
The two of them had a pleasant chat.
at least, qu xuan didnât hear shi boxiangâs unpleasant tone of voice again.
There were three knocks on the door of the private room. Shi Yan pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing her and Jiang che, Shi Bocheng wasnât surprised at all. Shi Yan had told him in advance that she would bring Jiang che along.
qu xuanâs eyes widened in shock.
She stared at their hands that were held together.
Was Yanyan in love?
her gaze stiffly shifted from their hands to jiang cheâs face.
he was shocked again.
What a noble young man!
âY-Yanyan, youâre here?â
âsecond aunt,â shi yan smiled and nodded.
he then looked at shi bozhen and called out, â second brother. â
âHurry up and come in!â Qu Xuan stood up and greeted him.
when the two of them walked in and sat down, qu xuan looked at jiang che and asked tentatively, â âyanyan, who is this?â
my boyfriend, Jiang che.
âjiang che, this is my second aunt.â
Jiang che only nodded at qu Xuan and didnât greet her. His attitude was indifferent.
But qu Xuan had no time to pay attention to his attitude, she was still in shock.
He was really her boyfriend!
If the news that Yanyan had a boyfriend reached the Shi family, what would the other members of the family think? she was probably not much better off than she was now.
