Chapter 617
She Is From The Countryside
617 side story 5: the grand wedding (2)
shi yan heard someone calling her when she came out of the cafeteria.
âyanyan! yanyan!â
there were a lot of people around, and the other partyâs voice was not loud, so she couldnât distinguish the other partyâs position for a moment. she searched with her eyes.
âHere, here, Yingluo.â
she saw the person. it wasnât that her hearing had deteriorated and she couldnât tell where the other party was, but that the other party was already hiding like a thief.
âBig brother Xi ran,â she said as she walked over.
it was li xiran, and no one knew how long he had been hiding there peeking.
li xiran lowered his voice. â this is not the place to talk. letâs talk somewhere else. â
shi yan had no opinion and followed him secretly to a relatively quiet path in the small courtyard. there were stone tables and chairs under the big tree here.
...
of course, only li xiran was sneaky, and shi yan left openly.
âYanyan, sit here.â
Shi Yan sat down on the stone bench across from him and asked with a smile,âwhat is brother xi ran doing?â
âI just saw you and Shanshan talking in the cafeteria. I was a little far away, so I didnât hear what you were talking about, but I saw Shanshanâs mouth movement. I think she mentioned my name? what did you guys talk about?â
li xiran looked at shi yanâs smiling eyes and scratched his head in embarrassment.âItâs a pleasure to meet you, I have no other choice.â she scratched her head in frustration. â yanyan, you donât know, but i really regret it now. if i were yingluo back then, i wouldnât be in such a difficult situation now! â
shi yan didnât know how to comfort him.
She wasnât very good at comforting people.
âYingluo, no one knows what will happen in the future. You didnât know what would happen now either. Uh, letâs look forward.â
He also felt that this kind of comfort was a little dry and not very attentive, so he added, â âbrother xiran, you donât have to be too sad. sincerity is the most important thing in a relationship. if you really like her, then go ahead and pursue her. as long as both of you are single, anyone has the right to pursue the person they like.â
She wanted to tell him that he had high hopes and not to be discouraged, but after thinking about it, Shi Yan didnât say anything.
There were some words that should not be said by her.
...
âdo i really have the right to pursue others?â li xiran smiled bitterly. â iâm not afraid of you laughing at me, but ever since i met shanshan, iâve doubted myself more than once, and i even doubted if iâm still qualified to have happiness. â
âYou canât think like that.â
Shi Yan was more or less helpless.
she didnât talk much and wasnât a warm-hearted person. she didnât know why they felt that she could analyze their relationship, but they all came to her to share their love lives.
âEveryone has the right to be happy.â
after a pause, shi yan felt that she had to say something more, so she continued,âPutting aside your past love life, brother xiran, youâre also a very outstanding person. You have an excellent family background, and youâre also outstanding enough. Youâre not worse than others, so why are you doubting yourself?â
Li xiran looked at her with hope. âyou really think iâm outstanding?â
Shi Yan didnât know how to answer his question.
In all fairness, li xiran was indeed a high-quality young man, but his excellence should not be confirmed by her. If Jiang che heard this, he would definitely be jealous.
seeing shi yan smile without saying a word, li xiran realized that his behavior was inappropriate. he laughed and said, â âdonât laugh at me, iâve been a little possessed recently.â
â i wonât give up so easily, so iâll continue to pursue her. maybe one day, shanshan will be touched by my sincerity. â
...
âGood luck.â Shi Yan said.
*
In the blink of an eye, it was almost a month after school started, and the long National Day holiday was coming.
the wedding was to be held in the capital. shi yan had taken three days off in advance to return to the capital to prepare for the wedding. she wasnât with jiang che.
Jiang che left a few days in advance.
Hence, Shi Yan was alone on the plane to the capital.
jiang che had someone book the plane tickets in advance for first-class.
To be honest, Shi Yan was not surprised to meet someone she knew in the first class cabin.
Regardless of whether it was Haicheng or Jingdu, the upper-class circle was only so big. This was a direct flight from Haicheng to Jingdu, so it was normal to meet someone she knew in the first-class cabin of this flight.
However, Shi Yan was a little surprised to meet Lin Anran, whom she had met once on this plane.
She saw Lin Anran, and Lin Anran saw her.
...
lin anran was the first to cry out in surprise,âeh, miss shi, itâs really you! iâm so lucky to meet you on the plane!â
âmiss lin,â shi yan smiled and nodded.
âdonât call me miss lin. iâm lin anran, and you can just call me anran.â
they had only met once before, and although she was a little interested in lin anran, shi yan still felt a little uncomfortable in the face of his enthusiasm.
However, Shi Yan was still Shi Yan. Even though she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she didnât show it on her face and smiled appropriately.âthen an cui, donât call me miss shi anymore. just call me by my name.â
âalright, shi yan!â
âshi yan, shi yan zhenzhen, your name is really nice!â
âThank you. An cui also has a nice voice.â
Every time Lin Anran introduced herself to others, she would subconsciously ignore the â Lin â surname. shi yan guessed that lin anjue might not like her surname, so she directly skipped it.
âthank you, i also think my name is very nice.â
lin anjue was genuinely passionate, but her enthusiasm didnât seem exaggerated or make people feel uncomfortable. perhaps it had something to do with her open and generous attitude.
...
âis an cui here in haicheng to work?â
âyeah, i just finished filming and left the set. i took a small job and needed to come to haicheng to shoot some material. I donât have much work to do after this, so Iâm going back to the capital to attend your wedding. I didnât expect to meet you on the plane, what a surprise.â
âItâs a surprise.â shi yan said with a smile.
He was actually going to attend her wedding.
she had only met lin anran twice, including this time.
âIâm very happy that you can attend my wedding.â
âIâm the one whoâs happy. Itâs your wedding with the fifth Lord Jiang. I donât know how grand the scene will be, but the people who will attend will definitely be big shots. oh, iâm also an actor, so i might be able to get familiar with some investors and pull some connections to take on roles.â
âThen I wish you all the best?â Shi Yan laughed.
She didnât think that Lin Anran needed to take on jobs in such a way.
From what she knew, Lin Anran had just sold off more than half of the Lin groupâs shares.
the lin family was one of the top families in the capital, so the lin groupâs assets were naturally not small. however, lin anran didnât care about it and voluntarily gave up the opportunity to be her own capital.
...
it could be seen that lin anran didnât lack these things.
lin anran didnât lack money after selling her shares.
she didnât lack money, and she didnât seem like a career-minded person. she was in the entertainment industry and was more like finding some fun in life.
Shi Yan had always thought that she was a free and easy person, but she now realized that she was not as free and easy as Lin Anran.
âThank you,â Lin Anran replied with a smile.
He had a clear mind and could understand everything, but he would not dig too deep.
She liked people like Shi Yan.
it was no wonder that even an indifferent and cold person like xie heng liked shi yan so much. if she was a man, she would also like her.
The plane landed.
as soon as they left the airport, lin anran was about to ask shi yan where she was going when a few people appeared in front of shi yan and blocked her way.
at that moment, the smile on lin anranâs face immediately disappeared. she walked over to shi yan and held her hand. pretending to be ignorant, she asked, â âShi Yan, who are these people? is he here to pick you up?â
shi yan didnât react when she was blocked by a few burly men. she was a little surprised when lin anran suddenly took her hand.
âi donât think so.â
it wasnât âshouldâ, it wasâ definitelyâ.
she didnât ask amy and the others to arrange for someone to pick her up, because jiang che would. however, if it was someone arranged by jiang che, he would not be so rude in front of her.
miss Shi, Iâm sorry for being impolite. Please come with us.
a few burly men in casual clothes blended into the crowd without being conspicuous. they gathered in front of shi yan. to be honest, it would not be difficult for shi yan to get away.
however, they were in the airport and it was crowded. she was afraid that she would accidentally hurt passers-by if she pushed them too hard.
Furthermore, Lin Anran was beside her.
Lin Anran could clearly tell that there was something wrong with these people, but she didnât avoid them immediately. Instead, she took the initiative to hold her hand.
He didnât want to leave her alone.
lin anran had been so kind to her, and she couldnât bring herself to involve him in such a dangerous matter.
He patted the back of Lin Anranâs hand and smiled. âit should be a friend of mine who wants to see me. itâs fine, you can go back first.â
Lin Anran knew that Shi Yan was smart. Lin Anran also knew that Shi Yan had some skills. however, in her opinion, even if a delicate little girl like shi yan had some skills, she wouldnât be too powerful.
Of course, she would not leave Shi Yan behind and leave alone. âsince youâre a friend, iâll go with you. i have nothing to do when i go back anyway.â
Just as Shi Yan was about to say no, the burly man in the lead said,âThis young lady should join us too.â
It was obvious that she was afraid that Lin Anran would go back and report it, so she was on her guard.
shi yan was still a little hesitant.
she had no problem protecting herself, but she couldnât guarantee that she would be able to do so if she brought lin anran along. after all, it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands, and these people were likely to be carrying lethal weapons.
she couldnât guarantee lin anranâs safety.
She saw Lin Anran smiling and blinking at her.
shi yan was slightly stunned.
this lin anxuan ...
in the end, the two of them got into each otherâs van. From the way the burly men carefully put their luggage away, they were quite polite to them.
the person who wanted to see her must have some ability to be able to kidnap her from right under jiang cheâs nose.
After they got into the car, Shi Yan didnât say anything more. Lin Anran also kept quiet.
One was calmer than the other.
Shi Yan was an extremely powerful person, so it was not strange for her to remain calm in the face of trouble. But why was this strange woman beside Shi Yan so calm?
they were only âinvitingâ them over in the name of kidnapping. Since when was kidnapping not so scary?
the burly menâs gazes shifted between shi yan and lin anran.
The two of them remained unmoved. They didnât even make eye contact.
Under normal circumstances, when two girls were kidnapped, even if they werenât afraid, wouldnât they be curious about who the kidnappers were and communicate in a low voice?
but they didnât even make eye contact!
