Chapter 456
She Is From The Countryside
?
456 not a good person
âthis has nothing to do with how big or small the matter is. your third brother is angry because he cares about you and wants you to ask him for help if you have any problems. donât treat him as an outsider.â
âIf you have the ability to solve it yourself, you donât need others to interfere. You can tell them directly, just like how you did to me. I want to help you deal with your problems and donât want you to rely on yourself for everything, but you said you donât need my help, and I can do it, and I wonât feel like youâre treating me as an outsider.â
â itâs good to be clear about everything. if you and i can do this, we can do it as well. â
âbut third brother saw me in qingcheng. he should know that i have the ability to deal with these troubles.â
Jiang Cheâs eyes were filled with love. itâs one thing for him to be clear about it. Itâs another thing for you to tell him that you can handle it and that you donât need his help.
are you trying to say that the matter is over and the trouble has been mostly resolved? thereâs no point in talking about this anymore? â
shi yan nodded.
that was what she thought.
She had already given her instructions with a single phone call, and third brother had not contacted her at that time. Was she supposed to take the initiative to call him and mention this matter, then say that she did not need his help?
there was no need for that.
Now that the matter was almost resolved, there was no need for them to help.
jiang che was helpless.
As expected.
âWhen your third brother mentioned this to you, what did you say to him?â
âYingluo, I said,âIâm very sorryâ.â
Jiang che,âYingluo.â
he knew it would be like this.
âthen did you say that the next time something like this happens, you wonât be so polite to them?â
âYingluo should have said it, but she didnât say it clearly.â
âThey donât care about you, but they do. you donât have to do as youâve said. you can try to say it next time. itâs fine to make it more clear.â
âA few simple words to make everyone happy, itâs a good deal.â
however, he definitely wouldnât do something like exchanging pleasantries to make everyone happy. other than miss shi, there was no one else that he needed to worry about. he wouldnât even care if other people were happy or not.
shi yan thought about his words and agreed.âYouâre right. We might not do as you say.â
âi donât have much experience in dealing with these things. i wonât do it again next time.â
jiang che raised his hand and ruffled her hair. â you donât have to force yourself. iâm only telling you this if you donât feel like youâre forcing yourself. â If you feel that itâs too much, just follow your heart. Thereâs no need to put yourself in a difficult position to please others.â
âi know. iâm not the kind of person who would let myself suffer.â
âThank you, Mr. Jiang,â she smiled at him.
âmiss shi, why are you still treating me like an outsider?â jiang che said helplessly.
shi yanâs eyes curved and she smiled a little foolishly.

two weeks had passed, and even with shi yan and jiang cheâs intervention, they still had not been able to find the whereabouts of the head of the gu family. now, even shi yan and jiang che were starting to take this matter a little seriously.
On the day the final exams ended, Shi Yan met Gu Qingqing at school.
At that time, she was preparing to go back to the dormitory to pack some things for the coming winter vacation.
âshi yan, is he looking for you?â
seeing gu qingqing, ren kexin couldnât help but exclaim in her heart, â What a weak and beautiful woman!
âYes.â
âThen letâs go back to the dormitory first. You can talk to your friend.â after ren kexin finished speaking, she walked away with chang ru.
âIâll be leaving too,â song Meilian said.
âYanyan,â
âsister qingqing, what are you doing here?â
âi heard that youâll have a holiday after your exams today. i thought that you might have other arrangements after the holiday, so i came to your school to invite you to dinner to celebrate the end of your final exams. Do you have time?â
âYes, what do you want to eat, sister Qingqing?â
âIâm fine with anything. Youâre more familiar with this place, so you can choose. Itâs my treat.â
âalright,â he said.
The two of them went to the cafeteria next to the school.
It was probably because today was the last day of the exam and tomorrow was the holiday, so many people came out to celebrate. The restaurant was very lively.
There were no private rooms, so they could only choose a seat in the hall.
âThere are a lot of people at the restaurants nearby. Usually, there arenât so many people at this time. Iâll just make do with it for now. Next time, Iâll treat sister Qingqing to a good meal.â
âitâs fine. itâs so lively.â
looking around, gu qingqing smiled. â âCome to think of it, I havenât eaten in such a lively place for a long time.â
every time they ate, they would eat in a quiet restaurant, and they would always eat in a private room or a separate room.
âYanyan, youâre familiar with this place. You can order.â
âalright,â he said.
there were many people, so the dishes were served much slower than usual, but they had enough time to talk.
âSister Qingqing, have you been busy recently?â
â iâm not busy. just like before, i take turns to stay at jade food restaurant for a few hours every day. the rest of the time is my own. when iâm bored, iâll find something else to kill time. â
âdoes sister qingqing know that my third brother is in haicheng?â she asked.
gu qing qingâs smile froze, and she forced out a smile, â I know. I received the news not long after he arrived in Sea city Base.
âSister Qingqing didnât look for him?â
âYingluo didnât. He seemed to be busy with something, so I didnât want to disturb him.â
of course it was an excuse.
she really wanted to contact shi boyu, but she had been hesitating ever since shi yan gave her shi boyuâs number. after learning that shi boyu had come to haicheng, her desire to contact him became even more urgent.
she thought that if shi boyu stayed in haicheng for a few more days, she probably wouldnât be able to hold on any longer.
it wasnât that she didnât want to contact him, but she wanted to take the medicine prescribed by the fifth lord jiang for a while and see the effects before contacting him. that way, whether it was for her or for shi boyu, it was good.
she was worried that she wouldnât be able to stay with him for a long time due to her physical condition. he would definitely be worried when he saw her like this.
shi yan could tell at a glance that she was not telling the truth.
âthen, sister qingqing, do you know what my third brother has been busy with recently?â
âi donât know,â He really did not know.
As early as five years ago, when she came to Sea city with serious injuries, she didnât have many people around her that she could use. She was able to find out that Shi boyu had come to Sea city and some other news because of the connections she had accumulated in her early years.
Shi Yan smiled and said,âthe Gu family in M Nation. I wonder if sister Qingqing has heard of them?â heâs investigating the whereabouts of the head of the gu family.â
âWhy is he looking for Gu Yu? He was looking for Gu Yu? He shouldnât have any interactions with Gu Yu!â gu qingqing was clearly anxious.
âI only know that my third brother seems to be looking for master Gu to ask something.â
In fact, Shi boyu didnât mean to â ask, â but to â ask for advice.
âyou have something to ask?â
âno, your third brother canât go to gu yu! Gu Yu isnât a good person. Itâll be troublesome if you provoke him!â
shi yan saw gu qingqingâs anxiousness and poured gu qingqing a glass of lemon water that the waiter had just served.
âFrom what sister Qingqing said, you seem to know the Gu familyâs head well?â
âNot really, Iâve only heard a little about it.â Gu Qingqing was taken aback. In short, itâs best not to provoke him, or it will be very troublesome.â
from what my third brother said, heâs probably only planning to ask master Gu about some things. Heâs not trying to make enemies.
âeven if we donât make enemies, itâll be troublesome to provoke gu yu. I canât explain Gu Yuâs personality in a few words, but heâs not a good person to get along with.â
