Chapter 550
She Is From The Countryside
?
550 fifth lord jiangâs farewell
That night, Shi Yan did not stay at the SU familyâs residence. Instead, she returned to the small courtyard of their villa with Jiang che.
She had always been a person who went with the flow. In the nine years that she had been away from home, she had never suffered from insomnia, but tonight, she did.
she didnât have a nightmare, but she was half-awake and half-asleep the entire night.
She thought she had hidden it well and Jiang che didnât notice it. Little did she know that Jiang che knew everything. he didnât notice it while lying in her body, but more like he had a premonition.
From the moment she said she was going back to the capital, she had been very calm.
this was not normal in itself.
jiang che understood her. she just looked like she didnât care about anything on the surface.
however, jiang che didnât point it out. the next day, he got up early to exercise as usual. auntie made breakfast, and he waited for shi yan to get up and go downstairs. the two of them had breakfast together.
however, he didnât push back his return to the capital to monday.
after breakfast, jiang che took out a tissue and handed it to shi yan, who was sitting across from him, saying, â â iâve already applied for a weekâs leave for you. seeing that you were still sleeping, i didnât ask for your opinion and booked an afternoon flight. if you still have something to deal with, iâll get someone to change your flight. â
Shi Yanâs hand, which was holding the tissue, paused for a moment. Then, she slowly folded it and wiped the corners of her lips. She looked very calm.âthereâs no need to change my visa, iâm fine. What time is the flight? iâm going to pack my luggage.â
jiang che glanced at her and said,âthree o âclock.â
She looked very calm, but Jiang che was not at ease.
She had light makeup on her face. Usually, when the two of them were at home together, she would not put on makeup. because of the light makeup on her face, the dark shadows under her eyes were gone, and she didnât look haggard.
If he hadnât been sleeping next to her, Jiang che would have suspected that it was his imagination that she didnât sleep well last night.
Iâve packed my luggage. You can go and see if Iâve left anything out.
shi yan was not surprised that he had already packed his luggage. She was very assured of Jiang che. He had packed his luggage personally. If he missed anything, she would at most pick a few books that she needed to read and bring them along.
After breakfast, the two of them went back to the Jiang familyâs old house and packed their luggage. They planned to leave for the airport directly from the Jiang familyâs old house.
it was jiang cheâs idea to return to the jiang familyâs old residence.
It wasnât for work. Ever since he moved to the villaâs courtyard, Jiang Cheâs things that were left in Bamboo Garden had basically all been moved there. There was nothing related to his work in Bamboo Garden.
he had come back to see grandma jiang.
He didnât bring Shi Yan with him. He said that he had something to discuss with the old lady and asked Shi Yan to play with Jiang Rui for a while and wait for him.
this was the first time jiang che had taken the initiative not to bring shi yan with him.
shi yan didnât say much. after contacting jiang rui, she went straight to the lotus pond behind and asked jiang rui to find her there.
the lotus flowers had withered in this season. fortunately, there were many kinds of flowers in the courtyard, so it was not considered bleak.
âyan!â
when jiang rui came over, shi yan was sitting in the pavilion and looking at the fish in the lotus pond.
âWhy did you come back? I thought that you and fifth uncle were going to spend some alone time on the weekend, so I didnât dare to disturb you. Whereâs fifth uncle? why donât we see him?â
Before Jiang Rui reached the pavilion, she had already started talking, and it seemed like she couldnât stop talking.
She was very happy to see Shi Yan return.
Jiang che had something to discuss with grandma Jiang, so he came back with her.
Hearing this, Jiang Rui was a little surprised,âfifth uncle is looking for grandmother?â He took the initiative to look for grandmother?â
seeing shi yan nod, she was even more surprised.
she walked over and sat down. â i canât believe fifth uncle took the initiative to look for grandmother. ever since he came to haicheng, this is the first time he took the initiative to look for someone from our family. in the past, fifth uncle would turn anyone who wanted to see him away, let alone look for them. â
âdo you know why fifth uncle went to find grandmother?â
âi donât know,â shi yan shook her head.
She didnât intend to probe further.
if jiang che was willing to tell her, he would naturally tell her. if he wasnât willing to, she wouldnât ask. however, she guessed that it shouldnât be anything urgent.
Although Jiang che had returned to the capital once before the new year, that was not an official return. When they returned this time, regardless of whether it was her or Jiang che, they were both officially returning after being away for many years.
It wasnât easy for her to get over this, and it was the same for Jiang che.
since they were going back officially, with jiang cheâs character, he naturally had to come personally to bid farewell to the old lady.
the facts showed that jiang che indeed knew shi yan very well.
at the same time, in grandma jiangâs courtyard.
aunt wan brought two cups of tea and left, leaving jiang che and old lady in the living room.
the old lady did not drink her tea. she looked at jiang che, who was sitting diagonally opposite her, and seemed to be a little emotional. â iâm a little surprised that youâll take the initiative to see me. â
âbut itâs not too surprising.â
âAfter you and Yan got together, I knew that this day would come. After knowing Yanâs background, I knew that day wouldnât be too far away.â
âSince youâve already decided, I wonât keep you. Itâs just that youâve lived in the bamboo garden for three years. Iâm afraid that no one would dare to live in the place youâve lived in, so I left it there.â
he didnât say it clearly, but his meaning was obvious.
he would always have a place in the jiang family of sea city. as long as he came back, he would have a place to stay in this family.
jiang che looked at her and was silent for a while before saying, â âYouâre still so smart.â
he had not said anything, but she had already guessed it.
The old lady politely declined his praise. youâd better be normal. Youâre praising me like that. Itâs terrifying.
âwhy did you suddenly go back now? you didnât tell me anything before, so i thought youâd at least wait until the may 1st holiday for yan. What happened?â
âsomething did happen, but it doesnât matter.â
Jiang che actually took the initiative to sit with her, drink tea, and chat. The more the old lady looked, the more curious she felt. it had been three years, and this was the first time!
however, compared to the novelty, she was more gratified.
It was the right decision to ask Yan to spend more time with Chen xuyao.
âitâs good that youâre fine. i believe in your ability. i canât help you with something that you canât handle, so i wonât interfere.â
Not only did he not interfere, he didnât even intend to ask what it was about.
âwhereâs yan? why did you come back alone?â
âHe went to play with Jiang Rui.â
âI see, then Rui âer will probably be very happy. Since young, Ruiâ er has made many friends, but this is the first time she has liked a friend so much. They get along very well.â The old lady smiled kindly.
âwhen are you leaving?â
â the flight is at three o âclock in the afternoon. iâll go to the airport directly after i see you. â
âSo urgent?â the old lady was startled.
âthings have to be resolved sooner or later. the earlier itâs resolved, the earlier itâll be quiet.â If the matter was not resolved, miss Shi would not have been the only one who could not sleep well last night.
it had only been one night, and his heart was already aching. he didnât want to drag it on any longer.
âthatâs true,â the old lady nodded in agreement and then smiled at him. â i canât believe iâm able to see you willing to explain to me why youâre doing this in my lifetime. how novel. â
jiang che glanced at her indifferently and didnât reply.
Seeing this, the old ladyâs mood became even better.
He smiled.
âWeâre going straight to the airport? does that mean Yan wants to come with us?â he asked.
She didnât think that Jiang che would leave her here alone after bringing Shi Yan to the Jiang residence.
