Chapter 463
She Is From The Countryside
?
463 personally come to redeem her
Indeed, not only Jiang che, but she also did not put in all her effort to find Gu Yu. She only asked Wei chuge and Tang Fu in Haicheng to look for him. She did not ask anyone else, not even the hacker God Amy to look for him.
Her thoughts were the same as Jiang Cheâs. No matter how powerful the head of a big overseas family was, he wouldnât be able to cause any waves here. It would be enough to get someone to find him and give him a sense of urgency. He didnât have that much power to do his best to find him.
she had always preferred to deal with things when they were right in front of her and did not like to worry about unnecessary things. If she had that time, she would rather use it to live her current life.
the two of them returned to their room.
the lights were dim, and it was another sleepless night.
*
the next day, shi yan had to go to her grandmotherâs appointment, but the first person she saw was not xie xi n, but shi boyu.
shi boyu had come directly to the jiang familyâs old house to find shi yan. when he was invited to the bamboo garden, it was between eleven and twelve in the morning, and shi yan had not woken up.
In the living room, Shi boyu took the tea that Jiang Lin handed him. He didnât drink it and looked at Jiang che, who was sitting opposite him, and asked, â âfifth lord jiang, my sister isnât here?â
It was impossible that he wasnât here. When he came to the door, he had made it clear that he was here to look for Shi Yan. The Jiang familyâs butler had led him directly here, so it was obvious that Shi Yan was here.
âYanyan went to bed late last night, so sheâs still sleeping.â
it wasnât that shi boyu hadnât guessed what had happened. He had good eyesight. The marks on Jiang Cheâs neck that were revealed when he unbuttoned a button werenât too bad, but he could still see them clearly.
and jiang cheâs slightly broken lips.
Just because he didnât have such an experience didnât mean that he didnât know what it meant. At this moment, Shi boyu only felt that there was a lump in his heart that couldnât be released. hearing jiang cheâs reply, he almost crushed the teacup.
It wasnât that Jiang che didnât sense the killing intent from Shi boyuâs eyes, but his expression didnât change in the slightest. He took a sip of his tea and sat down on the sofa with his back against the sofa. His posture was warm and gentle, and he seemed to be showing off and proud.
Shi boyu was even angrier.
âThird young master Shi, why are you looking for Yanyan? If itâs an emergency, Iâll go upstairs to call her. â
âYingluo, no need! Since she didnât sleep well, let her rest well. Weâll talk about it when she wakes up.â
âSheâs still in bed at this hour. Did she eat anything?â
she was clearly very angry, but she was trying her best to suppress her anger.
jiang che knew that shi boyu wasnât giving him face, the fifth lord jiang, or being afraid of him. the members of the shi family, or to be precise, the younger generation of the shi family, did not take the initiative to cause trouble, nor were they afraid of trouble. they were not afraid of him like the others.
Shi boyu was suppressing his temper only because he was the person chosen by miss Shi, and he was concerned about her.
He was an elder brother who was very attentive to miss Shi.
jiang che only found shi boyu pleasing to the eye now.
âI had some porridge around eight.â
After a long night of torment, he thought that miss Shi might only wake up in the afternoon, so he asked someone to cook a bowl of porridge and send it over. He took it upstairs and fed it to miss Shi personally.
shi boyuâs anger subsided a little when he heard him say that.
about an hour later, shi yan came down from upstairs.
When she went downstairs, Jiang che and Shi boyu were playing chess in the living room.
after a few rounds, they were at loggerheads with each other, no one giving in to the other. shi boyu lost more often and scolded jiang che for being insensible and not knowing how to please his brother.
It wasnât until the sound of Shi Yan coming downstairs that the tit-for-tat eased a little.
âjiang qianqian.â
shi yan was about to call out to jiang che when she saw shi boyu.
âthird brother, why are you here?â
âthereâs something i need to talk to you about.â
shi yan went downstairs and was about to walk to the living room when jiang che put down his chess piece and stood up. â âWeâll continue this game later. If you have anything to say, say it later. Letâs eat first.â
âMiss Shi, are you hungry?â she walked over and held Shi Yanâs hand.
Iâve been sleeping and I donât feel hungry. Itâs almost one o âclock. Why havenât you eaten? â
âIâm not hungry yet. Iâll wait for you. Iâve asked someone to send the food over. Itâs kept warm in the kitchen. Shall we eat first?â
âalright,â he said.
shi boyu had never expected that he would one day sit at the same table as jiang che at the place where he had been in seclusion for three years. He didnât expect that the three of them could sit at the same table for a meal when the other party had kidnapped his sister. Not only was he calm, but he even felt a little heartwarming.
after the meal, they did not discuss business in the house but in the backyard.
outside the courtyard was the bamboo forest that was rustling with the wind. occasionally, the chirping of unknown birds could be heard, sometimes far and sometimes near. the warm sun shone down in a rustling manner.
he didnât play chess, but just leaned back on the bamboo chair, drinking tea and basking in the sun.
he sat in the courtyard, relaxed.
at least for shi boyu, this was a rare moment of relaxation for him in the past nine years.
Shi boyu took a sip of tea and looked at Shi Yan.âGrandmother has come to Haicheng.â
âi know, i saw him at school yesterday.â
thinking that her emotions would be affected at the mention of grandmother, shi boyu was a little hesitant before he spoke. seeing that her expression was normal, shi boyu glanced at jiang che, who was sitting at the side.
although he was unwilling, he had to admit that jiang che played a huge role in their familyâs relationship with yanyan.
âGrandmother took someone away from your school. Do you remember?â
âYes, someone who is here to cause trouble.â
shi yan smiled and said, â i know that third brother has taken the person from grandmotherâs hands. the hotel grandmother stayed in last night was owned by a friend of mine. he recognized you and grandmother as my family and gave me the news. â
he didnât mention the surveillance cameras in the suite.
âThird brother, you came to find me to talk about Gu Yuanyuan?â
Shi boyu didnât know whose name the hotel was under last night, but he didnât intend to ask. He just felt that it was indeed her, to be able to figure out what happened in such a short time.
âyes, it is indeed related to her.â
I took her away to get more useful information from her, but after I brought her back, I received a call before I could ask her anything.
âPhone? Was he calling for Gu Yuanyuan? is he looking for you?â
shi boyu nodded.
someone had actually come to save gu yuanyuan. it seemed that her intuition was right. gu yuanyuan was not from an ordinary family.
âWho called?â
âthe seventh master of the gu family, gu zi.â
she had an impression of this gu zi and shi yan. she had seen her in qingcheng last time.
âSo, Gu Yuanyuan is really a member of the Gu family?â
âAccording to seniority, sheâs Gu Ziâs niece.â
to have a niece of similar age, it seemed that the gu family was very prosperous in the early years.
âGu Zi will pay for the ransom, 100 million, I agree.â
âThird brother didnât increase the bid?â the seventh master of the gu family had personally called to ask for her, so gu yuanyuan should have some weight in the gu family. at least, she would not be from a branch family.
the starting price is 50 million, and Iâll raise it to 100 million. Any more and the other party wonât give it. They said that Gu Yuanyuan is worth this price, and theyâll leave her to her own devices if they offer any more.
He was only willing to pay 100 million to save her.
a hundred million yuan was nothing to a big family like the gu family, so did gu yuanyuan have any weight in the gu family?
âthird brother released the person?â
âno, thatâs why i came to find you. Iâve arranged to meet Gu Zi tomorrow to hand over the money and the person. Do you want to go with me to the meeting with Gu Zi tomorrow?â
seventh master Gu isnât willing to pay more than 100 million to redeem her, but heâs willing to make a trip to Haicheng to make a face-to-face deal? â Shi Yan felt that it was very fresh.
So, was Gu Yuanyuan important or not?
