Chapter 465
She Is From The Countryside
?
465 Miss Shiâs intentions
they didnât even dare to directly ask her about her and jiang che.
âI thought youâd bring that fifth Lord Jiang over,â Xie Xi n said after recollecting his thoughts.
âthey came together.â shi yan looked at the courtyard behind her through the window. â i asked him to wait for me in the backyard. iâll bring him to see grandmother next time. â
xie xi n also looked out the window.
he only saw a courtyard with a good environment, but not a single person.
âThen Iâll see you next time.â
She had specially chosen a place that this girl was familiar with. She thought that this girl would be more comfortable and not too distant, but now it seemed that she had been overthinking it.
If she only saw her as a grandmother, this servant girl would have brought people to see her now.
she treated this meeting as a meeting between a junior and an elder she wasnât too familiar with. out of courtesy, she didnât bring anyone else.
âThe dishes of the Jade Food House are not bad. Grandmother, please order.â
shi yan handed over the menu.
âyouâre more familiar with this place, so you order.â
Shi Yan didnât decline, nor was she surprised that Xie Xi n knew that she was familiar with this place.
all these years, except for the few frequent e-mail contacts with amy and the others, her every move had been under the control of the shi family.
He called the waiter over, ordered some dishes, and poured Xie Xi n a cup of tea.
xie xi n took a sip of tea and said elegantly, â â the school is on holiday. what are your plans for the winter break? â
âIâm preparing to bring Jiang che back to Crescent Bay.â
back to xuxu
She had actually used the word âreturn.â
Xie Xi Nâs hand trembled as he held the teacup.
âhow long does yingluo plan to stay in crescent bay?â
â iâm not sure at the moment. i was originally planning to spend the new year with jiang che at crescent bay before finding a place to take a few days off and wait for the new semester to start. â
After the new year, Xuanji
They were actually going to spend the new year at crescent moon Bay.
âyouâre not going home?â
The word âhomeâ stunned Shi Yan for a moment. It felt a little unfamiliar.
She stared at Xie Xi n for a few seconds before realizing that her honest words about spending the new year at the crescent moon Bay seemed a little inappropriate.
She really didnât think that much, and she didnât mean to make him angry. She just thought that there was nothing to hide, so she told him the truth.
âYingluo isnât sure yet.â
But he felt that it wasnât appropriate to say it like that, so he added, â â thereâs still a long way to go, so this one time wonât make a difference. jiang che is from the capital. after i finish my studies, even if we donât settle down in the capital, weâll probably come to the capital often. weâll have plenty of opportunities to do so in the future.â
she did not use the word âgo homeâ, butâ go homeâ.
Also, her words never left Jiang Cheâs side, as if she had already decided that her life would revolve around Jiang che.
Xie Xi n, who had been strong all his life, felt like his nose was sour and his throat was blocked.
âDo you like the fifth brother of the Jiang family?â she asked after taking a deep breath.
âyes, i like it very much.â shi yan smiled lightly, not hiding her love for jiang che at all.
âhe knows about your yingluo grandmother, and he is also very concerned about you. however, yanyan, youâre six years apart. thereâs a difference between you two when it comes to love. his love and your love may not be on the same level. arenât you afraid that youâll regret it in the future if you go in now?â
meeting shi yanâs smiling eyes, xie xi n added, â âgrandmother doesnât want to interfere with your matters. you have been sensible since you were young. grandmother believes that you have your own thoughts. grandmother is just worried that if you go in now, you will suffer.â
âGrandmother is overthinking.â
She didnât intend to say anything else.
as long as she knew how jiang che treated her, she didnât need to explain it to everyone and get their approval.
âforget it, you always have your own ideas so grandmother will not worry too much.â
to be able to run away from home at the age of ten in order to resist the marriage arranged for her, xie xi n knew very well that if he didnât control the degree of asking about her private affairs, she would be forced further away.
She had never been attached to her family, ever since she was young. if she was pushed too far, she would abandon her family without hesitation.
it was just like that year.
This granddaughter that she had watched grow up was actually very indifferent in her bones.
She didnât care much about anything, and she could have or not have anything, but she was indifferent.
However, wasnât indifference a form of self-protection?
She didnât know why this girl felt so insecure when her whole family doted on her so much and granted her almost all requests.
he had locked himself up since he was young, forming a state of self-protection.
He even started to earn money for himself at a very young age.
she remembered that she didnât even learn how to make money from the shi family. this girl had learned how to make medicinal herbs from su yu when she was five or six years old.
Five or six years old
If she had learned how to process medicinal ingredients from the beginning to leave a way out for herself, didnât that mean that she had been thinking of leaving a way out for herself since she was five or six years old?
five or six years old, what kind of genius could know so much at such a young age?
she was not surprised at all that this girl was a genius.
He started practicing calligraphy and painting at the age of two or three, and he was very talented. He understood everything with just a little bit of effort. If he wasnât a genius, what was he?
It was just that she was indifferent and did not have much ambition. Otherwise, with her excellence, her achievements would probably be incomparable to her brother.
âwhen are we leaving for crescent bay?â
âthe flight is at nine o âclock tomorrow morning,â
âtomorrow?â Xie Xi n didnât expect her to leave in such a hurry. I heard that youâve been very busy with your studies this semester and didnât get much rest. Why didnât you rest for two more days before leaving? â
I donât plan to bring many books back. Itâs more like a vacation. Iâm also resting.
since she had already said so, what else could xie xi n say?
she had never been so naive to think that she could bring shi yao back to the shi family after a trip to haicheng. however, she thought that they would have more opportunities to spend time together if they stayed in haicheng for a few more days.
now it seemed that she should book a plane ticket and leave tomorrow.
When the waiter served the dishes, it was already an hour later when the two of them finished eating.
not speaking while eating was a habit they had developed over a long time, so they didnât talk much during the meal.
after the meal, the two of them did not stay in the private room for long and left the private room together.
In the corridor, Shi Yan heard the sound of a zither coming from a room not far away. It was Gu Qingqingâs zither. Shi Yanâs footsteps paused.
âwhatâs wrong?â xie xi n asked in confusion.
âitâs nothing, i was just attracted by the sound of the zither.â he was indeed attracted by the sound of the zither.
it wasnât her imagination, but gu qingqingâs zither music was different from usual.
it was a little messy.
It wasnât the zither that was messed up, but the heart of the person playing the zither.
âYou play the zither very well, and I can tell that you have real ability, but the heart of the zither player is not calm.â xie xi n hit the nail on the head.
âyes, those who play the zither are not calm.â
hearing this, xie xi n looked at her, â âiâm a little surprised that youâre paying attention to other peopleâs music. if it was in the past, you would calmly walk past a collapsed building on the road. you wouldnât care, and you wouldnât even stop to watch. at most, you would just look at it indifferently.â
âthe person playing the zither is a sister iâm familiar with.â
This was something Xie Xi n didnât expect.
he suddenly recalled that his subordinates had told him that shi yan had made a lot of friends in sea city. However, these were all retold by others and she had never seen it with her own eyes, so she did not feel it strongly. Now, she truly felt that her granddaughter had changed.
not only did he make friends, but he would also worry about his friends âtroubles.
She was even more human now.
âSince you know him, do you want to go and take a look?â
no need. Sheâs a very outstanding sister. She can adjust herself and doesnât need anyone to interfere.
even you say sheâs outstanding, so this girl must really be outstanding. If thereâs a chance, I really want to meet her.
âYouâll have a chance,â Shi Yan smiled at her.
