Chapter 497
She Is From The Countryside
?
497 nothing matters
jiang che walked towards shi yan and stood in front of her. he didnât hug her or even touch her. he just looked at her. âmiss shi, donât be so kind in the future.â
shi yan met his gaze and smiled. youâre wrong. Iâm not being kind. I just made a deal that wasnât so cost-effective.
â i donât know, â jiang che said helplessly. â in the future, weâll have to see if itâs worth it before we make a deal. â
âAlright,â he said.
After saying this, Shi Yan reached out to hold Jiang Cheâs hand. She shook it for a moment before letting it go.
She took a step forward and looked at Dou Chao, who was standing there waiting for her to lecture him.
âMiss Shi Wanwan.â
â donât be nervous. i donât intend to investigate who you are and why you are here. â
dou chao was a little surprised, but when he thought of shi yanâs personality, he felt that it was only natural.
âitâs fine if you want to ask. if you do, i can tell you.â
âno, i wonât.â Shi Yan said with a smile.
âthank you for what you did just now. in the future, if i encounter such a situation again, you donât need to block me. â
dou chao was obviously a little embarrassed. he hesitated for a while before saying,âyes.â
He replied with a âyesâ in the manner of a subordinate.
shi yan sighed softly in her heart. then she smiled and said to the others, â âgo back. those who didnât eat well, go back and eat.â
âyan, youâre really something. youâre the only one who can still think about eating.â
jiang rui walked over and held her arm. â yan, you must take what i said to heart. iâm very happy that you care about me, but i really donât want to be a bargaining chip for others to threaten you. â iâm not as good as you, but iâm not bad. if he really makes a move, i might be able to avoid him.â
âJiang Rui âer!â
upon hearing jiang chengâs voice, jiang rui instantly cowered.
she directly came over to hold shi yanâs arm and talk to her because she did not dare to face her brother for fear of being scolded.
âge! ge! ge!â
âwhat are you trying to do with your three-legged cat? That kid from the Gu family is a madman. Youâre shouting at a madman, do you not want to live?â
âbrother, donât be angry. look at me. iâm fine.â
A second ago, she was still holding Shi Yanâs arm and talking, but the next second, she let go of Shi Yan and went to hold Jiang Chengâs arm to coax him.
shi yan smiled lightly and was about to call jiang che when she met su muâs round eyes.
Oh, she was angry.
âcousin.â
call me younger cousin, donât call me that. Iâm your younger brother, not your older brother!
âitâs a fact that youâre older than me by a few years.â shi yan said with a smile.
f * ck you! su mu clutched his chest in anger.
In less than two seconds, su mu regained his composure and said seriously, â âWhy didnât you tell me that you would be in trouble? Do you think Iâm useless and canât help you?â
âno, youâre thinking too much. i didnât even tell fifth lord jiang.â
âfrom what youâre saying, youâre still very proud?â Jiang che replied.
âyouâre still talking about me? didnât you also secretly make arrangements without telling me?â
jiang che stopped talking.
he didnât mention it to her because he didnât want to disturb her. In this matter, he was just as unreasonable as she was.
all of you noticed the problem vigilantly and even made arrangements. Iâm the stupidest and most useless one. I didnât even notice the enemy when they were right in front of me, and I even happily sat down and ate with them!
In fact, su mu felt more guilty than angry.
Not only did he fail to help, but he also almost became a burden.
Not to mention comparing her to Jiang che, she was even comparing her to Yingying.
He looked at Dou Chao.
even compared to the others, he was still lacking.
âI wasnât sure if something would happen at first. I just sent a message to Tong Yan and asked her to keep an eye on him. If something happened, I asked her to deal with it. Besides sending a message to remind Tong Yan, I didnât do anything else. Itâs obvious that this is not a big deal. Cousin, donât think too much about it. â
âthe gunâs pointed at his head, and itâs not a big deal? that gu yu is a madman. isnât it a big deal for a madman like him to come looking for trouble?â
âjust now, i almost died, i almost died.â
âAlright, su mu, isnât everything fine now? Why are you angry with Yan? yan didnât tell you because she knew she could solve it herself. weâre here to have fun, so donât affect everyoneâs mood.â
Jing Hailan smiled apologetically at Shi Yan.
shi yan smiled back at her, then blinked at jiang che.
It was true. To her, this was not a big deal. itâs not like it canât be solved, whatâs the big deal? wasnât jiang che not angry? why was su mu so angry?
jiang che understood the look in her eyes and chuckled. he walked over and rubbed the top of her head, saying in a low voice, â âmiss shi, not everyone understands you as i do. i believe that you have the ability to protect yourself, so iâm not angry. other people donât know what youâre capable of.â
in fact, he was not angry because he had secretly made arrangements. if he didnât know or do anything, he would be even angrier than su mu.
but Ms. Shi, you canât always think that itâs not a big deal. If I didnât react quickly just now, you would have been on the plane to the Gu family by now.
he wonât do anything to me. Iâll just go. Youâll find a way to get me back, wonât you? â
âThatâs true, but miss Shi, Iâll be worried.â
I know youâre not afraid of anything, but you have to think for me and the others. Jiang Rui almost lost her life ten minutes ago.
shi yan wanted to say that she would not let anything happen to jiang rui in front of her. she was not far away from jiang rui and could stop her. But when she met Jiang Cheâs gaze, she swallowed her words.
forget it, iâd better not say it. after all, i wasnât 100% sure that jiang rui would be fine.
Besides, she was not fearless.
after all, she had lived alone for too long and was used to nothing. nothing was a big deal to her.
this had to be changed.
âI wonât do this next time.â
jiang che held her hand. â forget it if youâre really a coward. letâs go and pack up. didnât you say that you still have to pick herbs? â
when they walked back, liu qi and xu yue ran to ren kexinâs side.
âKexin, is Yingluo alright now?â Xu Yueâs face was still a little pale. It was clear that she had been greatly frightened by the battle just now.
âiâm fine now.â
âthen, then what was the situation just now? who is student shi and who is the person who is causing trouble for her?â
without waiting for ren kexinâs reply, xu yue quickly added, â â forget it, forget it. itâs better if you donât tell me. knowing more might not be a good thing for me. â
âare we going to continue playing here, yingying?â
letâs pack up and go back to the hotel. Weâll stay here for a while and leave early in the night. Ren Kexin said.
xu yue hurriedly nodded. she was not in the mood to play anyway.
â then, dou zhao! â xu yue looked in the direction of dou zhao.
they had been traveling together for a few days, and she had long noticed that ren kexin was interested in dou zhao.
ren kexin followed her line of sight and also saw dou chao.
âIâm not sure. Weâll talk about it after the new year.â
he didnât care about dou chao anymore and left.
After returning to the small farmyard at night and having dinner, Jiang che received a call from the seventh master of the Gu family, Gu Zi.
su mu also received a call from gu yi.
Shi Yan didnât hear or ask what Jiang che and Gu Zi talked about, so she didnât know. but she was there when su mu received gu yiâs call. She clearly saw su MUâs face change after Gu Yiâs phone call. The other party probably only said one sentence.
He suddenly realized the enmity between the Yu and Gu families.
It was no wonder that su mu, who had always been quick to calm down when he was angry, was still silent. She had thought that su mu was still angry with her.
