She Is From The Countryside
?
546 Acknowledge this brother-in-law
however, jiang cheâs confidence in saying that shi yan would agree to his suggestion of returning to the capital still made the three of them very upset.
none of them could persuade shi yan, but she was willing to listen to jiang cheâs advice.
however, they couldnât blame her for being unfaithful to her daughter, because it was her family who forced her to stay away.
Jiang Cheâs words caused a moment of silence.
After a long time, Shi poran said solemnly,âMany thanks.â
no need. Iâm not doing this for you guys or the Shi family. Iâm only doing this for miss Shi.
After a pause, Jiang che continued, â everyone thinks that miss Shi is big-hearted and doesnât care about anything. In reality, sheâs no different from any other young lady. In fact, sheâs even more fragile and sensitive than many young ladies. Only I know how much damage your Shi family has caused her.
this kind of miss Shi really makes my heart ache. Iâll try my best to help her untie the knot in her heart.
He finished the wine in the cup in one gulp.
he put down his wine glass.
âIâve had my drink. Please excuse me. Otherwise, when miss Shi comes over and sees me sitting alone with the three of you, sheâll start overthinking again.â
Jiang che didnât care how much of an impact his words had on them. After he finished speaking, he immediately got up and left.
she bumped into su wan and shi lin as soon as she left the resting area.
Su Wanâs eyes were red. She had been standing there for a while.
Jiang che stopped in his tracks and nodded at them before leaving.
su wan had called shi lin over because she was worried that the three brothers of the shi family and jiang che would start a fight when they were sitting here alone.
The banquet was noisy, and even the rest area was relatively quiet. the noise from the other side covered the sound of their footsteps, which was why jiang che and the others didnât notice them even though they had been standing there for a while.
However, they had clearly heard the conversation between the few of them after the girl had left.
after jiang che left, su wan immediately covered her mouth and burst into tears.
It alarmed Shi poran and the other two.
they all stood up.
âxuxuâs mother.â shi poran called out to her, but he didnât know what to say.
He was not good with words, and he had gradually distanced himself from his parents over the years, so he could not find anything to say for a while.
âItâs all my fault, itâs all my fault. Itâs my fault as a mother. Yanyan has been sensible and obedient since she became sensible. She has never said anything wrong or made a mistake. If she was in another family, she probably wouldnât be pampered enough. But in our family, she has suffered such a big crime. Itâs all my fault, itâs all my fault, Yingluo.â
Shi Lin seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he didnât say anything. He only silently hugged her and patted her back to comfort her.
Shi Boran and Shi boyu also didnât speak.
Only Shi Bozhen took a deep breath and exhaled heavily. He said in a self-deprecating tone, â we were the ones who sought Jiang che out to vent our anger, but in the end, we were dealt a heavy blow by him. What a shame.
âYanyan has always been someone who doesnât care about anything since she was young. Not to mention others, I thought that she wouldnât get hurt easily. At most, sheâd become distant from me because of what happened in the past. Now it seems that the situation is worse than I thought, Yingluo.â
âThe young lady that the entire Shi family dotes on?â Shi pochen sneered. in the end, sheâs not even as good to her as someone sheâs known for less than a year.
âYanyan is really smart since young, you have a good eye for people. i admit that i have jiang che as my brother-in-law. I hope no one from the Shi family will interfere and oppose them. Otherwise, I might really be disrespectful to my elders for running away from home.â
shi bozhen didnât care about them and left after he finished speaking.
Only the four of them were left. After a long silence, Shi Boran finally couldnât bear to see su Wan cry and said, â âmom isnât the only one who has failed in her duties. we have all failed in our duties. Itâs a good thing that Yingluo and Yanyan have met someone who is willing to think for her. â
â since ... since thereâs a knot in your heart, you can slowly resolve it. everything will get better. mom, you donât have to be too worried. â
Shi poran himself was stunned when he heard this.
Her heart felt uncomfortable.
He blamed Yanyan for being ruthless and not contacting them for nine years. He really didnât expect her to have a knot in her heart.
when he saw yanyan again, she was as usual. she was even more cheerful than before. now that she had a boyfriend, she even took the initiative to make friends. like many people, he thought that she was indifferent to people and things. he thought that she only blamed them at most. he never thought that she would be hurt to the point of having a knot in her heart.
â itâs not that simple. iâve always felt that something was wrong with yanyan after i saw her. now that i think about it, yanyan was always distant and careful when she was with us! â su wan covered her face and cried.
âshe could have lived as she pleased, but she had to be careful in front of us, the people closest to her.â
Shi boyu pursed his lips and didnât speak.
After a while, he sighed and walked over to help su Wan. â mom, letâs go and sit for a while. this is su muâs engagement party. there are guests all around. itâs not good to let people see it. â
Su Wan didnât want to spoil the festive atmosphere of the engagement party. With Shi boyuâs persuasion, she slowly stopped crying and choked on her sobs. Shi boyu and Shi Lin helped her over to sit down.
after su wan stopped crying, shi lin poured her a glass of water. shi boyu then spoke again.
âThere are actually many things about Yanyan that we donât know. itâs not just us, even her grandparents who have been keeping an eye on her all these years should not know.â
the three of them looked at him.
Su Wan and Shi Lin indeed didnât know anything about Shi Yan, but Shi Boran didnât.
Perhaps he didnât know before, but after Shi boyu and Shi Yan appeared in the city of Qing at the same time, he had a guess.
He didnât investigate it in detail, but he had some guesses.
His guess was confirmed when the Jiang family went to Wu County to cause trouble for Shi Yan, but Shi Yan detained them and took them away. Song Yu witnessed the whole process.
âIâve had some business under me these past few years, and itâs mainly in Qingcheng. Iâm sure youâve heard of the seven major powers in the city of Qing.â
qingcheng was very chaotic and the seven forces kept each other in check. su wan had heard about it even though she didnât pay much attention to it.
âOne of the seven powers, high cloud, was founded by me. The person in charge of one of the seven powers, the mist cloud, Tong Yan, takes orders from Yanyan.â
âsheâs from yanyan.â
âTong Yan shouldnât be the only subordinate of Yanyan.â
even shi lin was a little shocked by what shi boyu said, let alone su wan.
and it wasnât just shi yan. even shi lin and su wan didnât know that si yun was the trauma of shi bozhuâs apartment.
âYingluo, Iâm such a failure as a father. Yanyan never believed that I could protect her. it was before and after i left home.â
itâs not just Yanyan. You guys ... Shi Lin looked at the two brothers with grief in his eyes and his voice trembled a little. you brothers donât believe in me as a father either, right? â
itâs my incompetence that made you all fight for your own paths. I donât even know anything about these things.
Shi Lin seemed to have suddenly aged a few years.
This wasnât what Shi boyu wanted to see, and he didnât say this to make them blame themselves more.
âdad, you donât have to take all the blame. the shi family has never slacked in the training of our children. weâve each picked suitable people to train by our side since we were young, so itâs normal to have some small achievements. iâm not saying this to blame myself. i just want to tell you about yanyan and let you know her better.â
Yanyan really doesnât need us family members. Even without the Shi familyâs backing, she can rely on herself and the Jiang familyâs fifth master to make it so that no one dares to say anything.
âso, letâs try our best to follow her wishes.â
â grandfather and grandmother are in a daze, especially grandfather. i donât know if heâll interfere in yanyan and jiang cheâs matters. i hope that father and mother can mention this to grandfather and grandmother before jiang che brings yanyan back to the capital so that they wonât go against yanyanâs wishes. â
âi donât want to see yanyan disappointed again.â
âif i really let her down again, iâm afraid she wonât want to go home.â
Su Wan covered her mouth and cried silently.
shi linâs eyes were also a little red.
âZhenzhen, I will go and remind your grandparents. Since Yanyan has chosen her own person, no matter, no matter if she is willing to go home or not, we canât just do nothing. as for the engagement and wedding banquet, you two brothers should try your best to cooperate with that child of the jiang family. you two should also help prepare qianqianâs dowry. we canât let others look down on her. â
âDonât, donât let Yanyan know about this. Sheâs having fun with her friends in the small courtyard, so she should be in a good mood. Donât let it affect her. â Su Wan said, sobbing.
âDonât worry, mom. We know what to do.â
they didnât stay any longer and left after sorting out their emotions.
They all wanted to hide it from Shi Yan, but they didnât know that Shi Yan, who was coming from the small courtyard to the banquet hall, knew almost everything.
