She Is From The Countryside

although she was not surprised by xie heng’s sudden appearance, she was still a little nervous. not for xie heng, but for her jealous mr. jiang.

When Xie Heng walked up to her and called out ” miss Shi, ” he subconsciously looked at Jiang Che’s reaction.

Her movements were noticed by Xie Heng, and on his cold face, a hint of disappointment flashed quickly in his eyes, which were always stern.

Shi Yan didn’t notice Xie Heng’s reaction. Seeing that Jiang Che’s mood wasn’t affected, she heaved a sigh of relief and didn’t forget to pinch his palm as if to comfort him.

xie heng greeted shi yan and also nodded slightly at jiang che,”fifth lord jiang,”

“Thank you, patriarch.” shi yan and jiang che spoke at the same time.

it couldn’t be said to be a tacit understanding, but a coincidence.

But in Xie Heng’s eyes, it was a tacit understanding.

...

after all, xie heng was a person who had been in a high position for a long time and did not easily reveal his emotions. even if shi yan and jiang che were standing in front of him, they could not detect his emotions.

“when i learned that the two of you had returned to the capital, i had sent two invitations to fifth lord jiang’s manor with the intention of visiting. unfortunately, the two of you were busy and had not been able to see me. I have something to say, may I have a word with the two of you?”

In fact, he was mainly asking Shi Yan, but Xie Heng knew his limits. When he asked this question, his gaze only swept past Shi Yan and then to Jiang che.

It looked like she was asking him.

how could jiang che not understand xie heng’s thoughts? he was definitely jealous, but he also admired xie heng.

if it was him, he would definitely not be able to do it.

“let’s go to another place,” jiang che said.

there were so many pairs of eyes staring at them. although not many dared to come up and disturb them, it was still not appropriate to sit down and have a good talk.

before he left, whether intentionally or not, jiang che turned around and glanced at xuan jinrui indifferently. xuan jinrui’s heart skipped a beat and his back broke out in cold sweat.

after a long while, when the three of them had completely disappeared at the main door, xuan jinrui leaned against the back of the wheelchair as if she had fallen. the corners of her mouth curled up into a slightly bitter smile.

He had really taken a big risk this time.

...

However, he did not regret it.

he didn’t have that much energy to waste on xuan siyun, so he had to take a different path.

“Third brother, should we follow them and take a look?” on the same second floor, shi bochen, who was sitting opposite, asked shi boyu.

shi boxun had seen shi yan before and wasn’t worried about her. when shi boran learned that shi yan was going home, and since he was the head of the shi family now, there were too many things to do, so the two of them didn’t come over. only shi boyu and shi bochen came after hearing the news.

Their intentions were different from the others. They were only worried about Shi Yan’s health and came to see if she had really recovered.

“No need,” Shi boyu said.

shi bochen did not insist.

the two of them continued to drink. of course, they did not forget to observe the faces around them.

they didn’t care what happened to jiang che, but they had to pay attention to who was watching jiang che, in case they couldn’t help shi yan when she was dragged down.

“Third brother, is it true that sister Yan will come home tomorrow?”

it was true that the younger generation of the shi family had a good relationship with each other, but other than shi bochen, the rest of them were not talkative and would not easily reveal their emotions in front of each other. even the youngest, shi bochen, was no exception.

...

this was the first time shi bochen had asked his brother a question like an 18-year-old teenager, nervous and full of anticipation.

It could be seen how much the news that Shi Yan was about to go home had affected him.

Normally, Shi boyu, who cherished his words like gold, would not have responded to him, but he did at this time.

“it’s true,” he said.

with a little emphasis, he seemed to be saying it for shi bochen, but also for himself.

shi bochen heaved a long sigh of relief and put down his wine glass. he rested his chin on his hands and said with a smile, ” “that’s great, sister yan is coming back. Third brother, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep tonight.”

“yes.”

......

at a café.

After sitting down, Jiang che ordered a cup of honey water for Shi Yan, while he ordered a cup of coffee. Xie Heng also ordered coffee and sat opposite the two of them.

xie heng watched as jiang che carried shi yan’s honey water and took a sip to help her test the temperature. when he felt that it was suitable, he brought it to her lips and let her drink a sip before putting the honey water in front of her.

...

it was not to deliberately show off his sovereignty in front of his love rival. xie heng could see that jiang che’s actions were very natural. this was how the two of them usually interacted.

suppressing his complicated emotions, xie heng looked down and took a sip of coffee before saying,”i’ve heard some rumors recently that the xie family and the jiang family are about to be connected by marriage. i’m sure that the two of you have returned to the capital for this matter.”

they were all smart people, so there was no need to beat around the bush. they went straight to the point.

“I don’t know what the Jiang family means, but as the head of the Xie family, I only heard about this on the day you two returned to the capital.”

What he meant was that even as the head of the Xie family, he didn’t know that the Xie family didn’t have any plans to marry the Jiang family.

“but my second uncle’s adopted cousin did meet the jiang family’s old master and old madam in private. i’ve already sent people to investigate this. i originally wanted to personally find her to ask her and give you two an explanation, but i don’t know what she has been busy with these two days and she is not in the capital. when she returns, i will definitely ask her clearly before giving you two an explanation.”

he said that he was giving an explanation to the two of them, but he was looking at shi yan.

after he finished speaking, he looked at jiang che. ” my cousin is indeed at fault for such baseless rumors. but if the two elders of the jiang family hadn’t met my cousin in private, these rumors wouldn’t have spread. ” in terms of influence, my cousin, who has been studying abroad for many years, can’t compare to the two elders of the jiang family.”

in fact, if xie xingran hadn’t appeared in the same image as the jiang family’s old master and old madam, few people in the capital would have recognized her.

Before this, not many people in the capital knew that the Xie clan had a young lady.

jiang che understood xie heng’s meaning and could hear the hidden dissatisfaction in his words. he was blaming him for looking down on the jiang family and causing trouble for miss shi.

...

Xie Heng was undoubtedly doing this out of concern for miss Shi.

his rationality told him that he should express his gratitude, but unfortunately, love often made people lose their rationality.

when he heard xie heng’s words, he felt a little uncomfortable.

They would handle the matter between him and miss Shi themselves. Why should he, an outsider, be so nosy?

He would naturally deal with the Jiang family, but he did not intend to do it in front of miss Shi. Moreover, compared to the Jiang family, he was more worried about miss Shi’s current state. He had to accompany her at all times to ensure that her emotions were stable.

As for those people from the Jiang family who were deliberately causing trouble for him, he would deal with them. He had originally planned to come to the capital alone after returning to Haicheng. when he found out that miss shi would not allow him to accompany her to the shi’s residence the next day, he decided to make a trip to the jiang’s residence while miss shi was at the shi’s residence.

shi yan was unconditionally biased towards jiang che. even if xie heng was speaking up for her, shi yan still felt a little uncomfortable when she heard xie heng insinuate jiang che.

hence, she answered xie heng’s question before jiang che.

however, when facing people who had no ill intentions towards her, she still maintained her manners. her attitude was not too tough, and she only said in a calm tone, ” “thank you for your reminder, master. jiang che and i will take care of the jiang family. i hope you can handle the xie family well. Jiang che and I don’t really want to be on bad terms with family head Xie unless it’s absolutely necessary.”

the two of them looked at her at the same time.

xie heng was slightly stunned, but jiang che’s eyes were smiling.

...

after laughing, there was a flash of sternness in his eyes.

Jiang family’s Xuanji

Since they didn’t know what was good for them, he didn’t have to show them any mercy! in the past, he could let it go, but now he couldn’t. he was no longer alone, and miss shi had no obligation to accompany him and endure the difficulties of his so-called blood relatives.

Miss Shi had clearly been wronged, but not only did she not blame him, but she was also so biased towards him. If he could not even handle such a small matter, he was not worthy of being by her side.

“Thank you for your reminder, master,” Jiang che said.

Xie Heng only felt the coffee in his mouth was unprecedentedly bitter.

“the xie family is partly responsible for this matter. you’ve already given me face by not pursuing this matter and letting me handle it. there’s no need to be polite.”
