395 Small courtyard talking about matters of the heart at night

The group of people sat down in the decorated living room, playing games and drinking. Shi Yan and Jiang che naturally joined in.

giving out poker cards was a very simple way of playing.

Shi Yan was quite lucky. After playing for more than an hour, she only drank four glasses.

then, jiang rui had drunk a little too much and said that she wanted to go out for some fresh air. jiang cheng had to entertain guests, so he asked shi yan to accompany her.

the two of them went out of the living room to the courtyard, and jiang heng followed them.

“sister yan, why don’t you let me help my sister?”

as he spoke, he had already held jiang rui’s other hand.

“why did you follow me out?” shi yan asked him.

“i’m underage. my parents don’t allow me to drink, so it’s boring for me to stay in there. I’ll stay here to look after my sister. Sister Yan, you can go back and play with them.”

it was true that his parents didn’t allow him to drink, but jiang heng’s social circle was there, so it was naturally impossible for him to not touch a single drop of alcohol.

He had also drunk a lot tonight.

he said this mainly because jiang che was in the house and shi yan was not around. he was afraid that the others would not be able to control jiang che and would play with him in fear.

The main reason why he had followed her out was that he felt that the air pressure around his fifth uncle had dropped as soon as Shi Yan left. If he stayed any longer, he would feel as if he was sitting on pins and needles. It was better for him to follow her out and be at ease.

“It’s fine. I also want to come out for a breath of fresh air.”

they didn’t go far. he helped jiang rui to sit down on a bench in the yard.

“sister yan, i heard from my mom that you have applied for consecutive ph.d. in the institute?”

since the apprenticeship banquet had been held, shi yan’s situation in school was no secret, so it was not surprising that jiang heng knew.

Jiang Rui sat on a long bench in the middle, while Shi Yan and Jiang Heng sat on either side.

hearing this, shi yan smiled and nodded.

although this was not the first time he had heard of this matter, jiang heng could not help but be surprised when he heard it again. his eyes seemed to be shining as he looked at shi yan.”Sister Yan is so powerful!”

In Jiang Heng’s heart, his elder brother, Jiang Sheng, was undoubtedly extremely outstanding. His elder sister, Jiang Rui, was also extremely outstanding. He didn’t dream of being comparable to Jiang Sheng, and had always been working hard to look up to Jiang Rui.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

however, even jiang rui, an outstanding sister, did not dare to apply for a phd in the institute in her first year. not to mention the pressure, the conditions for a successful application must be very harsh.

And Shi Yan had achieved such harsh conditions.

“before i met sister yan, i always heard grandmother praise you. i thought grandmother had a filter on you. Now I know that grandmother’s eyes are sharp. Sister Yan, you are really outstanding!”

shi yan responded with a faint smile.

Among the three juniors of the Jiang family in Sea city, which one of them wasn’t the most outstanding? Even the youngest, Jiang Heng, was among the best in the school.

jiang rui was a little drunk. she had already closed her eyes and leaned on shi yan’s shoulder, not interrupting their conversation.

the night breeze was slightly cold and the night was quiet.

in addition, she had drunk a little wine, so it was easy for the emotions that were suppressed at the bottom of her heart to be bred.

jiang heng looked at the drunk jiang rui and said with mixed emotions, ” “sister yan, ever since i found out that my sister isn’t my real cousin, i haven’t really recovered from the shock. it feels so unreal.”

“for a long time, i was troubled by this every day and couldn’t even sleep well. However, I’m afraid that if I reveal my emotions, it will affect the rest of the family, especially my sister. My sister was the saddest when she found out that he wasn’t her biological son.”

jiang heng couldn’t tell his family, nor could he casually tell outsiders about this kind of family matter. in the end, he found that only shi yan could tell him.

In Jiang Heng’s heart, Shi Yan was considered half a member of the Jiang family. shi yan wasn’t someone who would gossip with others. if he told her about it, she wouldn’t casually tell others.

” fortunately, my big brother and sister have such a relationship. otherwise, with my sister’s personality, she would have distanced herself from us after she found out the truth. ”

“We’re still a family, and we’ll always be a family. That’s the best.”

“but recently, house xuan sent people to look for my sister. i heard that my sister’s biological mother was originally the heir chosen by the old master of the xuan family, but she gave up on her own accord. sister yan, you know the situation in jing city better than i do, is this true?”

Jiang Heng didn’t look drunk, so it was a bit unusual for him to suddenly tell her this. Shi Yan didn’t understand it at first, but now she understood his purpose.

“i don’t know much about the details, but i’ve heard of such rumors. But I’m sure of one thing, Rui ‘er has the right to inherit the family.”

jiang heng didn’t actually care if jiang rui’s biological mother was the heir chosen by old master xuan. what he cared about was the relationship between jiang rui and the xuan family.

he really had the right of inheritance.

“The people raised by a family like the Xuan family aren’t easy to deal with. I saw the eldest miss of the Xuan family once at the Yu family’s banquet, and I could tell at a glance that she’s a ruthless character. my sister has the right of inheritance in house xuan, will she be in any danger?”

“Your sister and brother should know what to do. They will deal with it. You don’t have to worry.”

although he said that, how could he not be worried?

“i know, but i’m still a little worried about my sister’s safety,” he nodded.

shi yan didn’t try to persuade him, only saying,”before i finish my studies, your fifth uncle and i will be staying in haicheng.”

Jiang Heng’s eyes lit up,”then I’ll leave my sister in your care, sister Yan.” &Nbsp;

he didn’t have the guts to ask his fifth uncle to look after her. however, as long as sister yan agreed to help, his fifth uncle wouldn’t leave her alone.

Shi Yan smiled.

“Among the people who came today, there’s a man called Gu Yi. Is he a friend of your big brother?” he asked Jiang Heng.

yes, everyone here tonight is my big brother’s good friend. Why would sister Yan suddenly ask about big brother Yi? ” Su mu and Gu Yi were also on good terms. Su mu had introduced Gu Yi to Shi Yan. Jiang Heng knew about this, and he had been there at the time.

“I was just asking.” shi yan said with a smile.

I heard that he’s not from your circle, but he’s able to enter your circle as a new upstart. He’s also on good terms with young master Jiang’s cousin. I can’t help but be a little curious about him.

she didn’t intend to ask at first. they were just chatting, and she wanted to find a topic to talk about. there was nothing wrong with saying that she was just asking casually.

Gu Yi had no background in Haicheng, but he was on good terms with the heirs of the Jiang and su families. Not everyone had such ability, so it was natural to be curious about him.

however, the person who was curious was shi yan. jiang heng felt that something was amiss.

“i’m a few years younger than my big brother and the others, and i don’t get to hang out with them often, so i don’t know big brother yi very well. i only know that he’s been in haicheng for six or seven years. it had only taken him three years to go from being a rising star in sea city base to becoming a rising star in the upper-class circle. he’s a young and promising man. ”

I also heard that he wasn’t born into a rich family and was an orphan. He grew up with the help of his relatives and neighbors. Because of his excellent grades, he completed his studies with the help of some kind-hearted people. Then, he slowly started his own business and got to where he is today.
