Chapter 541
She Is From The Countryside
?
541 Congratulations from my brothers
On certain matters, Shi Yan was very strict with the rules. It was the first time Shi poran had seen her eating directly in the living room with a plate of pastries.
when shi yan ate, no matter what she ate, she would sit in the dining room and eat in an orderly manner.
suddenly seeing the few plates of pastries on the coffee table, as well as the half-eaten piece on the plate in front of shi yan, shi poranâs heart was not as calm as it looked.
His gaze fell back on Shi Yanâs face.
she had really changed. He didnât know if these changes had happened over the years or after he came to Sea city Base.
In the end, she didnât refuse and walked over to sit down.
shi yan went to make tea for him.
After her divorce, Shi Boranâs aura became even stronger. Sitting in the living room with him, Jiang Rui and song Meilian were under a lot of pressure.
for a moment, jiang rui couldnât help but sigh. fortunately, she and song meilian were both experienced people. if it were any other girl, they would not even dare to breathe.
perhaps sensing the twoâs restraint, shi poran retracted his aura and nodded at them as a formal greeting.âMiss Jiang, miss song.â
âYouâre too kind, brother Shi. Weâre friends with Yan. You can call us by our names.â jiang rui said with a smile.
Friend?
shi poran looked at the two of them.
before this, he had heard that his sister had made a lot of friends in sea city base, so he knew all the information about them. But he couldnât imagine how his sister was with her friends until he saw it with his own eyes.
She was completely like an ordinary girl with a sister.
This was good.
From this point of view, it might have been a good thing for her to leave the Shi family back then. if she had continued to stay in the shi family, he would not have been able to see his sister like this for the rest of his life.
âMy sister is in your care in Haicheng.â
âno, it was shi yan who took care of us.â song meilian said with a smile.
After a while, she and Jiang Ruiâs emotions slowly calmed down and they were not as uncomfortable as before.
âmeilian is right. itâs yan who takes care of us. I donât know about the others, but Yan really took care of me. If it wasnât for Yan, I wouldnât have been able to survive.â
The matter of Jiang Ruiâs background had caused a huge commotion and Shi Boran had naturally heard about it. It wasnât good to let the young lady bring up such sad things.
He could only say,âitâs normal for friends to take care of each other.â i know my sisterâs personality very well. if you donât treat her with sincerity, she wonât treat you as friends. My sister has been taken care of by you and the Jiang family. After su MUâs engagement party, I will go to his house with my parents to thank him personally.â
This was to inform Jiang Rui in advance that they would be visiting.
jiang rui had wanted to say that there was no need to tell her that someone from the shi family had come to thank her, but then she remembered that she and shi yan were going to be friends for life. there was nothing wrong with the two families having more contact, so she did not refuse.
âbrother shi, youâre too kind. we didnât do anything. we just invited yan to stay with us for a while. yan saved my grandmother, so sheâs our familyâs savior. Thereâs no need to pay a visit to thank us. If brother Shi, uncle, and Auntie are here as guests, the Jiang family will welcome them very much.â
Shi Yan came over with tea and happened to hear Jiang Ruiâs words.
she could guess what they were talking about without asking.
he placed the tea in front of shi poran and sat back in his seat.
âhave you seen your third brother?â
Shi poran finished a piece of cake and wiped his hands with a tissue. even the simplest of actions was pleasing to the eye when he did it.
jiang rui exclaimed in her heart, as expected of someone who had the same genes as yan.
âyingluoâs third brother? I didnât see him.â
shi yan had thought that he would say something else. she didnât expect that he would pick a common topic as a topic to start with, so she didnât react for a moment.
âIs third brother here too?â
âaccording to his flight, he should have arrived at midnight yesterday.â
as they were talking, someone entered the house.
âyanyan,â
it was the shi boyu they had just mentioned.
Gu Qingqing also came over with Shi boyu.
Gu Qingqing was dressed in a light-colored gown, a faint smile on her face. She still had the delicate appearance that Shi Yan was familiar with.
âYanyan.â He first smiled at Shi Yan.
âSister Qingqing,â Shi Yan replied with a faint smile. He then looked at Shi boyu. third brother.
shi boyu didnât expect so many people to be here, nor did he expect shi boran to be sitting here and chatting with three girls. when he saw shi poran, surprise flashed across his eyes.
He called out,âbig brother.â
Then, his gaze fell on Shi Yan.
to be exact, it fell on the ring on shi yanâs hand.
he had met jiang che in the banquet hall and had accidentally seen the ring on jiang cheâs finger. when he thought of how jiang che had not had a ring on his finger before, he immediately thought of shi yan.
he didnât stay in the front hall for long. after asking for shi yanâs location, he brought gu qingqing over.
His gaze was so straightforward that the others also noticed the ring on Shi Yanâs finger.
Shi poranâs mind had been elsewhere just now, so he hadnât noticed the ring on Shi Yanâs hand. Now that he saw it, his hand, which was holding the tea, suddenly stopped.
shi yan naturally noticed their gazes and didnât hide it. she looked at the ring on her hand and said with a smile, this is Jiang Cheâs proposal ring.
there was a long silence.
it was mainly because shi boran and shi boyu didnât say anything, and the atmosphere was a little subtle, so the others didnât dare to make a sound.
in the end, it was still jiang rui who braced herself and answered with a smile, â âAh, congratulations, Yan,â
Who asked the person he was proposing to to was her fifth uncle? she had to help him, right?
this was not the first time jiang rui had congratulated shi yan. when they returned to haicheng after the new year, the jiang family had congratulated them.
but shi yan still returned her a bright smile.âthank you,â he said.
when someone spoke, it was much easier for the others to speak.
song meilian and gu qingqing also congratulated him.
Only Shi Boran and Shi boyu remained silent and didnât say anything.
When it came to matters with Jiang che, Shi Yan had always been calm and had never thought of avoiding anyone. Seeing that the two of them didnât speak, she smiled and said, â âbig brother and third brother arenât going to congratulate me?â
shi boyu still didnât say anything.
shi poran stared at the ring on her finger again. after a moment of silence, he said,âcongratulations,â
this congratulatory message was not forced, but it contained a lot of emotions that were difficult to explain.
âThank you, big brother.â Shi Yan replied with a smile.
she stared at the ring again, and even though her eyes were slightly lowered, it was not difficult to see that she was smiling.
Clearly, she couldnât hide her joy from Jiang Cheâs proposal.
Shi boyu felt a lump in his throat. He wasnât against them, but there was an indescribable sourness in his heart.
She had lost her cabbage for many years and finally found it, but it had become someone elseâs before she could raise it well.
âcongratulations, wanwan.â Without waiting for Shi Yanâs reply, she said to Shi poran, â Iâm going back to the front hall. Big brother, do you want to come with me? â
âYes.â
shi boyu then said to shi yan, â qingqing is not in good health. the front hall is too noisy. i heard that you were here, so i sent her here. help me take care of her. â
