Chapter 393
She Is From The Countryside
?
393 su muâs introduction
after leaving jiang ruiâs courtyard, the two of them went straight to the main building. on the way, shi yan asked, â ârui âer, you just said that you encountered something a few days ago?â
âYes, I met someone the day before yesterday.â
Meeting Shi Yanâs questioning gaze, Jiang Rui said, â âheâs from the xuan family in the capital. he said his name is xuan jinrui, my cousin.â
On Thursday afternoon, Jiang Rui had dinner in the cafeteria after school. Instead of going back to the dormitory immediately, she planned to go to the library. On the way, she saw Xuan Jinrui in a wheelchair.
when she saw that xuan jinrui was staring at her, she thought that there was something on her face. just as she was about to take out her phone from her bag to take a look, she was stopped by xuan jinrui.
He had called her by her name directly, so there was no mistake.
In the end, she found out that Xuan Jinrui was looking for her. She sat down at a milk tea bar near the school, drank a cup of milk tea, and said a few words before Xuan Jinrui left.
shi yan had never seen xuan jinrui before, but she knew this person.
He was the eldest son of the Xuan family, Xuan Siyunâs cousin.
Shi Yan naturally didnât know about this person in the past. The reason why she knew now was that Xuan Jinruiâs return to the Xuan family was more or less related to Jiang che. Jiang che did this so that he could come back and restrain Xuan Siyun.
Shi Yan had only found out about this recently. Amy had sent her an email with a summary of major events in the capital city, and Xuan Jinrui was mentioned in it.
âthe young master of house xuan? why did he come to you?â
according to family xuanâs rules, jiang rui had the right to inheritance. Jiang Rui might not have such intentions, but others might not think so.
in the eyes of some people, jiang rui might be their opponent.
it was hard to guarantee that jiang rui would not be targeted.
Thinking about it this way, at Jiang Ruiâs family recognition Banquet, Xuan Siyunâs ostentatious appearance and the fact that she didnât hesitate to usurp the host was somewhat thought-provoking.
In that case, Xuan Siyunâs appearance in Haicheng might not have been entirely for Jiang che?
Otherwise, why did he have to come after Jiang Ruiâs identity was exposed?
It wasnât all because of Jiang che. Could it be understood that Xuan Siyun didnât care that much about Jiang che?
If that was the case, then this matter alone was worth being happy about.
Jiang Cheâs excellence had determined that he would have many admirers, but Shi Yan also had her own selfish motives. She didnât like it when her people were being targeted by others, and she didnât like it when others were determined to win her heart.
However, Shi Yan didnât want to see Xuan Siyun thinking about Jiang Rui and treating her as an opponent.
It wasnât that he was afraid of Xuan Siyun, but he simply didnât like people thinking about his friends all the time. As the saying went,âif you donât film a thief, youâll be afraid of the thiefâs thoughts.â
But now, not only Xuan Siyun, there was also Xuan Jinrui.
She did not know what Xuan Jinruiâs attitude towards Jiang Rui was.
he said that he heard that he had a cousin who couldnât make it to the family reunion. She came to see me and even asked me to visit the Xuan family when I had time. Thatâs all. It really looked like she was here to see me.
jiang rui also said that it seemed so.
obviously, she did not believe that xuan jinrui had come to haicheng just to see her. otherwise, she would not have told shi yan about this.
Looking at Shi Yan, Jiang Rui said, â Yan, letâs not talk about why my cousin came to see me. Heâs also a member of the Xuan family. I heard from my brother that heâs the biggest obstacle for Xuan Siyun to inherit the family. In the capital, once you have fifth uncleâs support, anything you do will be twice as effective with half the effort.â
âYouâre trying to say that youâre worried that heâs coming to Haicheng to see your cousin, whom youâve never met before, but in fact, heâs coming for fifth Lord Jiang?â
Jiang Rui nodded.
No wonder Jiang Rui had specifically told her about this.
Shi Yan smiled. donât worry. The young master of the Xuan family has long been exiled. With Xuan Siyun keeping an eye on him, it should be very difficult for him to return to the capital. But heâs back now.
How did he come back?
naturally, there was someone helping him!
jiang rui came to a sudden realization.
âyou mean, xuan jinrui can return to the xuan family because of my fifth uncle, qianqian?â
shi yan didnât deny it. she just smiled and said,âletâs go. the others should be here by now. letâs hurry over.â
shi yan didnât mention to jiang rui that she should take care of the people with inheritance rights, especially xuan siyun, because she knew that with jiang ruiâs intelligence, she had already thought of this.
even if jiang rui didnât think of it, jiang sheng must have thought of it. She didnât need to mention it. If Jiang Rui was in trouble and needed her help, she would just help.
jiang rui jogged to catch up with her. â as expected of fifth uncle. get xuan jinrui back. then, xuan siyun wonât have so much energy to disturb you. â
jiang rui had already seen through xuan siyunâs feelings for jiang che when they first met at haicheng university for dinner.
Shi Yan replied with a smile.
The two of them arrived at the main building. As expected, everyone else had arrived, including Jiang che.
he had arrived right after shi yan and jiang rui, as if he had calculated the time. he didnât go in first, but waited for shi yan at the door.
shi yan smiled and put her hand in his hand that was reaching for her.
âAre you hungry?â Jiang che held her hand tightly.
âItâs okay, Iâm not very hungry.â
Jiang Rui greeted him,âfifth uncle,â smiled at Shi Yan, and went in first.
The two of them walked in hand in hand.
He said that it wasnât a big birthday party and that it would be fine for the family to have a meal together. However, those who were close to Jiang Sheng all knew that today was his birthday, so they naturally had to come to celebrate. So, the three of them came to the restaurant on the second floor of the main building. Except for the Jiang family, almost all the people who were close to Jiang Cheng were there.
âshi yan, rui âer,â
song meilian had come with jing xuan.
âYanyan,â Su mu and Jing Hailan also came over to greet him.
Su mu said to Shi Yan, â I wanted to find a chance to introduce some friends to you. I was afraid that I would disturb your study, so I didnât find a chance. Everyone who should be here is here tonight. Iâll take this opportunity to introduce them to you.
in such a circle, most of su muâs good friends actually knew jiang sheng and jiang rui. shi yan had met almost all of them, and she didnât introduce su mu to those she had met.
he called out to a young man who was chatting with others not far away, â âgu yi!â
The man walked over.
âWhatâs the matter?â
He was about the same age as su mu, and he had a very comfortable temperament. She couldnât tell exactly what kind of temperament she had, but it made people feel very comfortable when they saw her.
âthis is gu yi, a new upstart in haicheng.â Su mu introduced them to Shi Yan with a smile.
âGu Yi, this is my cousin, Shi Yan. She likes to read.â
gu yi looked at shi yan and smiled. â iâve heard from su mu that he has a younger sister. iâve been looking forward to meeting her. i finally get to see her today. â
âHello younger cousin sister, I usually donât have any other hobbies other than collecting books. If you like to read, you can come to my place and see if thereâs anything that you like.â
Shi Yan finally understood why Su mu had introduced Gu Yi to her.
âthank you, iâll be there when iâm free.â
this was the first time she had seen someoneâs expression not change at all when they saw her. there was not even a ripple in their eyes.
that was fine. jiang che was right beside her, but gu yi had not even looked at jiang che since he came. it was as if jiang che was just an ordinary person in his eyes.
this was a little abnormal.
at least, that was what shi yan thought.
With Jiang Cheâs appearance and charm, even if he had never said a word, he was definitely not to be ignored in the crowd.
it was not that everyone should pay attention to them. since the three of them went upstairs, the others, including yuxi, who was talking to jiang cheng not far away, all looked at them. only gu yi was an exception, so it was hard not to pay attention to him.
