Chapter 405
She Is From The Countryside
?
405 she was cold-blooded and selfish
who knew how much pain she was hiding in her heart?
Shi Yan couldnât help but lighten her steps. She walked over and stood by the swing. It was already like this, but the person sitting on the swing still didnât notice that someone had come.
âLittle aunt.â
It was only when she spoke that su Yunzhi snapped out of her thoughts.
âitâs yanyan, why did you come over?â
I ate a little too much for dinner, so I came out for a walk. I didnât know I was here. it was the same excuse again, but everyone knew that it was just an excuse she made up.
su wanâs courtyard was not close to this place, and this was the inner courtyard behind the main building. there was a not-so-high courtyard wall separating them, so it was impossible for them to get here by taking a stroll.
however, su yunzhi didnât point it out. she smiled gently,âdo you want to sit for a while?â
he was asking her if she wanted to sit on the swing.
âno, iâll sit here.â shi yan shook her head.
There was a stone table and a stone bench by the side.
She sat down on the stone bench beside the stone table.
The swing was specially made by her uncle for her. It belonged to her, so it was not appropriate for her to sit on it.
shi yan didnât ask su yunzhi stupid questions like whether she had something on her mind and went straight to the point. I came back in my cousinâs car today. He said that he and sister Hailan will probably get married after the new year.
âreally?â su yunzhi was very happy about this, so the surprise on her face was not fake.
âcousin said so.â
âthis brat, why didnât he tell me about such a big thing? there are many things to prepare for marriage. how can you get married just because you want to? if he told me earlier, i could have helped prepare earlier.â
âYouâve met hai LAN before. Sheâs not bad, right?â
âyes, sister hai lan is a very nice person.â shi yan smiled and nodded.
â itâs good to get married. after we marry hai lan, there will be one more person in the su family. â
will cousin and sister Hailan live in the SU familyâs mansion after they get married? â
âOf course, the SU family is such a big house, I canât live alone, can I? However, weâll also prepare a new house for them outside. If they donât want to stay at home, they can go out and stay for a few days.â
âIf they move out, wonât aunt be the only one left in the SU family mansion?â Even if they were living in the SU familyâs mansion, they would have to live their own lives after marriage and would have very little time to accompany their aunt.
su yunzhi didnât mind and smiled, thatâs why, Yanyan, you should come and spend more time with me when youâre free. You have a room in the SU family anyway.
shi yan,âyingluo.â
why did she have to be involved?
However, if that really happened, it wouldnât hurt for her to stay at the SU familyâs residence more often. Even if she didnât stay, it would be good to have more meals with her.
looking at su yunzhi, shi yan hesitantly said, â âAunty, have you ever thought about finding someone to keep you company?â
su yunzhiâs smile gradually froze. even if she continued to smile, it was a bit forced.
âYanyan, why did you suddenly ask me this?â
If someone else had asked this question, su Yunzhi would have changed the subject. However, since the person asking was Shi Yan, who rarely had anything that could make her care, su Yunzhi did not do so.
she was even a little touched.
If she didnât really care about her, with Yanyanâs personality, she wouldnât have taken the initiative to talk to her about this.
âi just feel that iâm still young and have a long way to go. i should find someone to accompany you.â
Su Yunzhiâs face twitched before she forced out a smile.âWeâll see.â
âDonât worry about me. Iâm an adult and Iâll take care of myself. As for you, since youâve decided to be with Jiang che, you should settle the engagement as soon as possible.â
âiâm not saying this to say that i donât trust jiang che. i believe in your judgment of people. however, as your family and your elder, i canât help but worry about you. iâm always worried that youâll be taken advantage of and bullied.â
âi wonât.â
âeven if thereâs a plan to get engaged, itâll be after the new year. As for suffering losses and being bullied, Yingluo â
âas long as i donât want to be bullied, no one can make me suffer or bully me.â shi yan smiled faintly.
She was very confident. Su Yunzhi had no doubt that she could do as she said.
âLittle aunt, donât worry. I have a plan.â
âItâs good that you have a plan. Youâve always had plans since you were young, and I believe in you. sigh, itâs because youâre too sensible. as an elder, aunty doesnât even have the chance to show off.â
âItâs getting late, and the night is a little cold. Youâre not wearing much, so go back and rest. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it another time. Otherwise, if we say it once, we wonât be able to find anything to say next time.â
Shi Yan knew that she didnât want to continue the topic of finding a companion.
He didnât say anything more.
there were some words that were best left unsaid.
âThen Iâll go back first. Rest early, aunty.â
after shi yan left, su yunzhi sat on the swing for a long time. she looked up at the night sky where a few stars occasionally twinkled, as if in a daze.
when shi yan went back, su wan was still watching tv in the living room downstairs.
She said she was watching TV, but she kept glancing at the door from time to time until Shi Yan came back.
shi yan was a little dazed when she saw su wan, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking happy at her appearance.
When she was in the Shi family, she had her own courtyard since she was six years old. However, before she was six years old, she lived in the same courtyard as her parents.
She had a good memory and could remember almost everything that happened before she was six years old.
there was a scene in her memory where her second brother took her out to play. when they came back, it was already dark. that day, her father had work to deal with in the study, and her mother was sitting in the living room watching tv waiting for her to come back.
In those ten years, she was indeed the Apple of the Shi familyâs eye, as the outside world said. They had never let her down.
there were many times when she felt that she was born cold-blooded. otherwise, why would she leave home so resolutely, without the slightest concern about whether the people who stayed behind would be sad?
Moreover, she did not shed a single tear when she left the Shi family.
At that time, she was only ten years old. If she wasnât cold-blooded, what was she?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
she was cold-blooded and selfish, but to this day, she had never regretted her decision to leave home. in fact, she was even glad that she had done so.
seeing that she was standing still and couldnât tell anything from her face, su wan felt a little flustered and hurriedly said, â âyanyan, youâre back?â
âYes, Mom, youâre still awake?â
âno, iâm just watching tv for a while.â
âDo you want to go back to your room to rest? or do you want to come over and sit for a while?â
Looking at her eager eyes, Shi Yan wanted to ask her to sit down for a while, but then she thought that she didnât know what to say even if she sat down. She might accidentally say something wrong and make her cry again, so she took back the words she was about to say.
â i have to get up early to go to school tomorrow. iâm going upstairs to sleep. donât stay up too late, mom. sleep early. â
âhello, yingluo. good night.â
âsame to mommy. good night.â
After going upstairs and closing the door, Shi Yan gently exhaled.
she wanted to read a book, but when she opened it, she couldnât get it in. she just lay down to sleep, but she couldnât fall asleep no matter how she tossed and turned. she kept feeling like something was pressing on her heart.
it was only when jiang cheâs video call came and she saw his face in the video that she felt a little more at ease.
