She Is From The Countryside

375 shi boyuâs attitude
Hearing this, su chen didnât have the time to marvel at the relationship between Shi Yan and Tong Yan. He said in surprise,âYanyan, are you helping me vent my anger?â
âthatâs not entirely true. qingcheng is a place where the strong prey on the weak. this time, weâve targeted yuanshi and caused it to suffer a loss. itâs hard to guarantee that yuanshi wonât take revenge after recovering. Iâm just trying my best to put an end to this trouble before the situation regains momentum.â
the two forces had been working together for two weeks. even if the original force could survive, they would have to deal with the erosion and replacement of other forces in the city of qing, so they wouldnât be able to cause much trouble.
he couldnât take revenge on daybreak and tianwang, and he couldnât make things difficult for su chen.
this was shi yanâs goal.
Of course, she wanted to teach Yu Wen a lesson and make him pay for imprisoning su chen.
âi donât believe you. youâre just helping me vent my anger.â
After saying that, su chen chuckled, looking a little silly.
âYanyan, I didnât dote on you for nothing!â
Shi Yan didnât explain further. Her gaze swept past Shi boyu and turned to Jiang Yu. so, third young master Jiang is the third young master behind Chen Xiao. Iâve been disrespectful.
she had a smile on her face, and there was no emotion in her eyes. she was so calm that there was no fluctuation, but she gave people an inexplicable sense of unfriendly sharpness.
jiang yu wasnât too affected. he only raised his eyebrows slightly and said, â âmiss shi, youâre too kind.â
it was no wonder that not long ago, yanxia had been investigating his background. he didnât have much interaction with yanxia, and he had been curious as to why she had investigated him, even going as far as to investigate the jiang family. now, he finally knew.
shi boyu even called him personally to warn him not to touch shi yan. even if he didnât have fifth uncle and the shi family as his backing, he probably wouldnât get anything good out of shi yan if he really did anything to her.
Should he say that Shi Yan was indeed a member of the Shi family?
should he say that he was worthy of being the person who pulled fifth uncle down from the mortal world?
Even though he had left home at a very young age, even though he was only nineteen years old, he still had such extraordinary achievements.
Judging from su chen and Shi boyuâs reactions, they didnât seem to know about her relationship with Yanxia. in other words, she had done this to avoid everyoneâs sight.
this was not something that anyone could do.
âitâs just a small matter. itâs not worth mentioning compared to miss shi.â
âi know fifth uncleâs ability, but i heard that fifth uncle came to qingcheng. i thought that i could have some say in qingcheng, so i came to see if there was anything i could help with. It seems that there is nothing I can do for you. Iâll take my leave and not disturb fifth uncle and miss Shi.â
jiang yu didnât stay any longer after he finished speaking. he nodded to shi boyu and su chen respectively and left with his men.
shi yan couldnât help but stare at his back.
This Jiang Yu is Lang Lang.
Su chen originally wanted to settle the score with Jiang che, but when he saw Shi boyu still standing at the side, he retracted his thoughts.
He had more important things to do.
âThank you, third young master Shi, for making this trip personally, and thank you for protecting me in front of Yu Wen just now,â she said to Shi boyu.
âItâs nothing.â
His gaze paused on Shi Yanâs face for two seconds before turning to Jiang che, â âiâve long heard of fifth lord jiangâs great name. iâm shi bosu, the third guest of the shi family. itâs a pleasure to meet you.â
As he said that, his gaze seemed to glance at the two of them holding hands.
Jiang che didnât seem to notice his gaze and nodded lightly, â âthird young master shi, nice to meet you.â
His attitude wasnât warm at all.
âiâm also here for miracle doctor su, and iâm lucky to meet you here. itâs almost mealtime, so i wonder if i can have the honor of treating fifth lord jiang to a meal.â
Jiang che didnât answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Shi Yan.
shi yanâs expression remained the same, but her grip on his hand tightened.
After a long silence, Jiang che said, â we were just about to go eat. There are many people here. Let me treat third young master Shi.
They had more people on their side, so Shi Yan had been assigned to that side.
shi boyuâs emotionless eyes under the frame of the mirror seemed to tremble.
Su chen took in Shi boyuâs reaction and felt a little happy. When he thought about how Shi Yan had left home that year, and that Shi boyu wasnât the culprit, his happy mood slowly dissipated.
She also thought about how Shi boyu was also quite miserable. Shi Yan kept calling him brother, a person who had no blood relationship with her, but since Shi boyu appeared, she didnât even say a word to him. She only had sympathy for him.
âBoth of you are here for me, so this meal should be on me. Donât fight with me.â
su chen took the initiative to break the subtle atmosphere out of sympathy.
Half an hour later, the group arrived at a restaurant.
tong yan and jiang zhong went to deal with their business. only tang fu and jiang lin followed them. however, they did not enter the private room. instead, they reserved a table in the hall on the second floor.
the restaurant was booked by su chen. he first followed the waiter to lead them to a private room on the second floor. the waiter pushed the door open, but su chen did not enter. instead, he stopped and said to jiang che and shi boyu, â âweâve arrived at the private room. please go in first, i have a few words to say to yanyan alone.â
Jiang che had no objections. He pinched Shi Yanâs fingertips and raised his hand to rub the top of her head. He said gently, â âIâll go in first and wait for you.â
After he finished speaking, he walked into the private room first.
shi boyuâs gaze shifted between shi yan and su chen for a few seconds before he turned and walked into the room. however, the moment he turned around, a lot of emotions seemed to flash through his eyes under his glasses.
It was complicated and difficult to understand.
In a flash, when Jiang che, who was sitting in the private room, raised his eyes to look at him, he didnât look at him at all.
âthird young master shi, please take a seat.â
âThank you,â he said. Shi boyu held his glasses and pulled out a chair to sit down.
unlike the other brothers who had met shi yan, this was the first time the two of them were alone in a space. shi boyuâs first reaction was not shock at shi yan and jiang cheâs relationship, nor was he reproaching jiang che, nor was he unhappy. instead, he sincerely said, â âthank you, fifth lord jiang, for taking care of my younger sister.â
âAnd thank you for appearing in my sisterâs life.â
Without giving Jiang che a chance to speak, Shi boyu continued, â âFifth Lord Jiang doesnât know this, but Yanyan has never paid special attention to anything since she was a child.â
âwhen she was three years old, my mom bought her a doll. i saw her smile and say thank you to my mom before taking the doll from her. she looked like she loved it so much that she couldnât let go. i thought she finally had something she liked, so i used my red packet money to buy her many different types of dolls and filled her room. she still smiled and thanked me. her expression was the same as my momâs when she bought her first doll.â
âthereâs no joy on her face like a three-year-old receiving something she likes.â
âafter that, my mom felt that the dolls were taking up too much space in the room and cleaned it up. yanyan didnât feel disappointed either. I thought she was so calm because she didnât like the dolls I bought. Even when the doll my mom gave her was ruined by a relativeâs child, she only said it was okay and didnât feel sad about losing her favorite toy.â
âI just realized that she didnât really like that doll.â
âAs I grew older, I became more sensible. When I thought about it carefully, I realized that ever since Yanyan became sensible, she had never asked for anything. sheâll accept everything that others give her, and she wonât take the initiative to ask for anything that others donât.â
â with her personality, itâs not wrong to describe her as indifferent and without desire. however, sheâs not an old woman who has gone through many vicissitudes of life. sheâs just a child. â
â thatâs why, as her brother, iâm more than happy that she went against her familyâs arrangements and ran away from home. â
sheâs finally willing to take the initiative to express her wish.
âbut in this case, given her character, it also means that she and the shi family, as well as us, will never be able to go back to the past. for a time, i thought that she would aimlessly spend the rest of her life aimlessly, until news of her and fifth lord jiangâs relationship reached the capital.â
shi boyu looked up at the person sitting opposite him with a clear, noble, and elegant appearance and said, â âSo, Iâm grateful to you. iâm grateful for your appearance, and iâm also grateful that youâre true to yanyan, and not half-hearted and playing with her. â
âYouâre the one Yanyan chose. Sheâs happy to be with you. As her brother, I wonât object to you two being together. On the contrary, Iâm very supportive.â
Jiang che sized him up and said,âhow did third young master Shi know that I was personally chosen by miss Shi? Could it be that third young master Shiâs ability is so great that he can find out whatâs happening in the mansion I live in? How would third young master Shi know that Iâm sincere to miss Shi and not just toying with her?â
âThis is the first time I met third young master Shi, right? Weâre not familiar with each other and third young master Shi doesnât know me well. Miss Shi is your biological sister, how can you make such a hasty decision? arenât you afraid of your sister getting hurt?â
miss Shi is only 19 years old. Her life has only just begun and she still has a long way to go. Donât you think itâs too early to decide on a person to spend the rest of her life with? â
