âI only want her. Nothing else matters.â
Jiang che had never thought of investigating Shi Yan.
as he had said, he only wanted her. nothing else was important.
âAlright, then I wonât be meddlesome.â
yu xi said,âactually, when i first saw miss shi yan, i thought she was the daughter of the su familyâs second miss.â If sheâs the daughter of the SU familyâs second miss, based on her age, itâs very likely that she has the blood of our Yu family. i was a little disappointed when i learned that her surname was shi.â
jiang che could hear the disappointment and sorrow in his tone. he paused and said, â âmiss xuan wouldnât have hidden for so many years. if she was alone, she wouldnât have to hide with house xuanâs protection.â
youâre right. If she was alone, she wouldnât have to hide. She had a daughter, who should be 19 years old now. Sheâs a posthumous child.
this was a happy event, but using the words âposthumous childâ was not necessarily a happy thing.
Yu Xiâs two talented brothers died in a car accident at the same time. After that, his mother passed away and his father was seriously ill. This was a huge blow to Yu Xi.
he was afraid that he would never be able to walk out of this pain in this life.
âwhatâs wrong with the child?â Jiang che asked.
having known yu xi for many years, jiang che knew yu xi very well. if it wasnât for the fact that something had happened to this posthumous child, yu xi would have gone to pick him up as soon as he returned to the country and wouldnât have waited until now.
âthereâs a problem, but i can handle it.â
Jiang che didnât say anything else.
as for you, why donât you bring miss Shi Yan along for a meal? youâll be considered one of us in the future, so you should at least meet her formally.
âWait for me to catch up.â
âwhat?â Even Yu Xi, who was as calm as she was, raised her voice.
âYou still havenât caught up?â
âRight, we didnât catch up.â Jiang che admitted it very frankly, his tone faintly tinged with pride.
yu xi,âhehe.â
she wanted to scold him for being crazy, but she didnât dare to.
âzhenzhen, siche, is this something to be proud of?â
â youâve been single for thirty years. itâs normal that you donât understand. â
Yu Xi almost lost her composure and cursed, but Jiang che hung up the phone.
yu xiâs face darkened after the call was hung up.
jiang che, who had hung up the phone, turned on the tv in a rare moment of leisure. jiang lin, who walked past the living room, could feel that he was in a good mood.

that afternoon, the old lady called everyone to her courtyard for lunch. she said that jiang rui and shi yan had to report to school tomorrow. jiang heng was also about to return to school, so she called them over to have lunch with her.
At the dining table, Jiang Rui was eating while looking at Jiang Cheng, who was putting food on her plate, and asked, â âbrother, why do i feel like youâve been acting a little weird these past two days?â
the old lady sat in the main seat, jiang sheng and jiang rui sat on the left, while jiang heng and shi yan sat on the right.
upon hearing jiang ruiâs question, shi yan, jiang heng, and the old lady all looked up at them.
âStrange? What was strange? Hasnât big brother always been like this?â Jiang Heng was puzzled.
the big brother he was familiar with had always been a man of few words and cold, so he really didnât find it strange.
jiang rui supported her chin and looked at jiang cheng as she answered jiang heng, â âi canât really put it into words, itâs just a feeling.â
âbrother, tell me the truth, are you hiding something from me? You havenât talked to me much these past two days.â they met each other every day, and the time they spent together was no less than before. her brother would basically come to look for her when he came home from the company, just like before.
But he didnât talk much.
Although he didnât talk much in the past, she could count the number of times he had spoken in the past two days, and it was pitifully few.
jiang cheng, who was putting food into her bowl, paused. â âEat well, donât talk when you eat.â
Jiang Rui pouted and continued eating.
The old lady glanced at them and looked away.
Jiang Heng continued to eat. Shi Yan also took a glance at them and looked away.
Yan, you and Rui âer are going to school tomorrow. Sheng is helping Ruiâ er prepare some daily necessities. Iâve asked him to prepare some for you too. You donât have to prepare anything. You can just bring your things to school.
âokay, thank you, grandma jiang,â shi yan smiled.
she didnât plan to prepare anything. she had planned to buy them one by one when she arrived at school. However, since grandma Jiang had already prepared it for her, she would not reject her kindness.
âthank you, young master jiang,â he nodded to jiang zhi.
the old lady didnât correct how she addressed jiang cheng.
âitâs nothing. miss shi, you donât have to be so polite.â
as soon as jiang cheng finished speaking, jiang rui said, â âThatâs right, Yan. Youâre welcome. My brother is going to prepare it for me anyway, so itâs not a big deal.â
Shi Yan smiled and nodded.
by the way, Rui âer, do you freshmen have to go through half a month of military training when school starts? â The old lady suddenly asked.
âyes, grandmother,â
âi think thereâll be sun soon. you should put on some sun protection during military training, right? You and Yan have such fair skin, donât get tanned.â
Jiang Rui smiled. grandmother, the elders in other families only tell us not to get tanned. Youâre the only one who tells us not to get tanned. Youâre really trendy.
of course! the old lady raised her chin slightly. your grandmotherâs 8g network!
everyone laughed, and even the expressionless jiang cheng curved his lips.
âdonât just laugh at me. rui âer has already prepared a sunblock set, right? Did you prepare a set for Yan?â
âyes, iâve prepared yanâs as well. donât worry, grandmother.â
âyou little girl, youâre getting impatient with grandmother.â the old lady glared at her.
jiang rui giggled and said,âi donât dare.â
the old lady looked at shi yan again and casually mentioned, â âYan, I saw xuyaoâs car parked outside your yard yesterday morning. Did you go out with xuyao yesterday?â
jiang heng choked on the water he had just drunk.
Aunt Wan, who was at the side, quickly stepped forward and patted his back.
âYouâre an adult, how can you choke on water?â the old lady looked at him worriedly.
jiang heng coughed a few times and quickly waved his hand. â âitâs fine, itâs fine. i was just careless.â
itâs all because old madamâs words were too shocking!
even the old lady knew that sister yan and fifth uncle were close!
Also, what did he mean by sister Yan went out with fifth uncle yesterday? Going on a date?
Well, it did not seem impossible. After all, his fifth uncle had chased sister Yan all the way to big brother Hanâs winery. she even took sister yan away in front of her love rival, killing her in the cradle.
when shi yan saw that jiang heng had stopped coughing, she smiled and replied to the old lady,âYes, he went out with teacher Jiang. teacher jiang went to buy some books. he heard that i like to read, so he asked me to give him some advice.â
you can buy books for a day?
The old lady didnât expose him.
She knew that with Shi Yanâs temperament, she was willing to explain this because she was the elder. If it were a junior asking, Shi Yan would not have said so much.
Of course, the old lady didnât ask this question out of curiosity.
On the surface, she was gossiping, but in reality, she was secretly reminding the three juniors of the Jiang family that Shi Yan and Jiang che were close.
the grandchildren that she had taught were all very smart. as long as she mentioned it, they would know what to do in the future.
âItâs rare that fifth brother is willing to go out.â
