Chapter 179
She Is From The Countryside
179 chapter 179-killing time in another place
shi yan shook her head.
she didnât plan to go to see it from the start, and now that she had met jiang che, she was even more reluctant to go.
âis there any place you want to go?â Jiang che asked her.
Shi Yan looked up at him with a faint smile.âIs teacher Jiang done with your business?â
He had just said that he had something to do here.
jiang zhiâs expression did not change, and she remained as gentle as ever.âiâm done. I donât have any plans for the future. If you have somewhere you want to go, Iâll go with you.â
âi was planning to go to a nearby bookstore to read some books and wait for them. Although Rui âer and my roommates are very close, I was the one who called her over. Itâs not good to leave her behind, so I asked her if she wanted to come along.â
âNo need,â jiang che said.
following his line of sight, shi yan saw jiang cheng sitting not far away and jiang rui, who was walking in from the entrance of the coffee shop.
although jiang che was jealous, he would not ask shi yan to leave when he knew that she had to accompany her friend.
he and yun jian had come here to drink coffee first. it was an accident that they met shi yan. he had planned to leave after meeting shi yan face-to-face. however, he saw jiang sheng not far away and jiang rui, who was making a call at the entrance of the coffee shop and looking for a place. that was why he asked shi yan if there was anywhere she wanted to go.
Jiang Rui was not surprised to see Shi Yan. She had just seen qu pochen, who was wearing a mask and a hat, coming out of the room.
she was surprised that her fifth uncle was also here.
she wasnât sure if her fifth uncle had met yanâs second brother.
if they met, it would definitely be a shuraba.
She was curious, but she did not dare to ask.
âFifth uncle,â He greeted her first.
she looked at shi yan and said, â xiao yan, your second brother is qu wanwan. â she was shocked to realize that they were in a public place. although the privacy of the coffee shop was good, there was no guarantee that some people with ulterior motives would hear them and cause trouble for shi yan.
âWeâll talk about it when we get back,â Jiang Rui said.
âMy brotherâs over there, so Iâll head over first. Kexin and Chang ru are going to the hall to see their idol. Yan, if you want to leave with uncle Wu, send them a message.â
âDo you want to have lunch together this afternoon?â shi yan asked her.
jiang rui said, â no, itâs fine. my brother drank a lot in the afternoon and is a little drunk. iâm worried. iâll send him home first. â really, he would never get drunk in broad daylight in the past. i donât know whatâs wrong with him today!â
shi yan glanced at jiang cheng, who was not far away.
are you drunk?
He looked a little tipsy now, but before Jiang Rui appeared, she saw that Jiang Cheng was clearly sober and even nodded to greet them.
Qianqian is fine, but you have to be careful. If you canât do it alone, call uncle sea and ask him to get someone to help you.
alright, you and fifth uncle can go and do your own things. Donât worry about me.
shi yan sent a message to ren kexin, telling them to find song meilian at the jade eatery after she was done with her work. she had something to attend to and had to leave.
Ren Kexin replied very quickly.
Coming out of the business building, Jiang che saw Shi Yan searching for a nearby bookstore on her mobile phone. He asked, â âare you going to the bookstore just to read, or do you have a book to buy?â
shi yanâs gaze shifted from the phone to him. I didnât plan to buy any books. I was going to the bookstore to read to kill time.
âsince itâs just to pass the time, shall we go to another place?â
âWhat place?â
Jiang che took her phone and placed it in his bag. âYouâll know when you get there.â
shi yan glanced at the small slanted bag he was carrying with one hand.âgive me the bag. itâs not easy to carry it like this. thereâs only one phone in the bag. itâs not heavy.â
In fact, other than the phone, there was also a bunch of keys, a pack of tissues, an ID card, and two bank cards.
jiang che glanced at her and tried the weight of the bag. it was indeed not heavy, so he picked it up and hung it up for her personally, then led her to the parking lot.
Jiang che had driven out by himself. Jiang Lin did not follow.
they arrived at their destination in about ten minutes.
It was a shopping mall.
Shi Yan was puzzled as to why Jiang che had brought her here. It couldnât be to go shopping, right?
however, she didnât ask much and let him lead her into the mall.
However, they didnât notice that as soon as they entered the elevator, someone on the first floor of the mall frowned at the closed elevator door.
âwhat are you looking at?â
The woman beside him asked.
the woman was about 25 years old and was dressed in a professional suit. she had a good figure with curves in all the right places, and she did have a charming appearance.
however, perhaps she was too strong-willed, but her charming aura was somewhat concealed.
The man retracted his gaze, but his frown did not completely relax.âitâs nothing. i must have seen wrongly.â
he was also around 25 years old and was dressed in a suit.
he was good-looking and looked like a career-oriented person, just like the woman.
âWhat did I see wrong? who did you see? or rather, did you see someone who looked like you?â
The woman probably knew his personality well. If he was an ordinary person, he would not have such a big reaction.
âThe fifth master of the Jiang family.â
the woman stopped in her tracks and raised her head to look at him.âwho did you say you saw?â
She was strong and charming, but also steady and calm.
however, she was not as calm and steady as before.
âFifth Lord Jiang. However, I should have seen wrongly. Not to mention that fifth Lord Jiang should still be recuperating, it is impossible for him to appear here. Even if he really did appear here, he would not be holding a womanâs hand.â
in fact, he only felt that they looked similar when he saw their backs. After all, the Jiang familyâs fifth Lord had a gentlemanly temperament that could not be found in the circle.
âHolding a womanâs hand?â he asked.
the woman was slightly shocked, then she sighed and said, â âThat shouldnât be him.â
âsince youâre in sea city, arenât you going to visit the jiang family? Itâs been three years since youâve seen the fifth Lord Jiang.â
âYes, itâs been three years.â The womanâs face tightened.
âiâll pay a visit to the jiang family in haicheng after iâve met the person iâve specially come to meet.â
The manâs expression seemed to pause for a moment.
âsiyun, who are you meeting in sea city?â he asked. Do you have any good friends in Haicheng?â
The man was carrying a lot of things that he had just bought at the mall.
Iâm going to meet an elder. Thank you for accompanying me to the mall.
âi just happened to run into it.â the two of them met in the hotel lobby.
âwhat about you, third young master yun? why was he in haicheng? fifth lord jiang is in haicheng, and no one else dares to set foot in the territory of haicheng. why are you here? arenât you afraid of provoking the fifth lord jiang?â
âHow could this be? I donât have any enmity with the Jiang familyâs fifth Lord. iâm here to discuss a business deal, and iâll return to the capital after that. Siyun, when do you plan to go back? Do you want to go together?â
âIâm not sure when Iâll be back for the time being. Since Iâm in Haicheng, I do want to visit the Jiang family in Haicheng. I wonder if heâll be willing to see me.â
third young master yun paused in his steps and looked at her. are you planning to waste your time in haicheng if you canât see him?â
the woman didnât answer him, but he already knew the answer.
âsiyun, the jiang familyâs fifth lord is now a cripple, and he has lost all of his power in the jiang family. you still havenât given up on him? Was it because he had heard the rumors that he had fully recovered? do you think he can rise again?â
the woman only frowned slightly, her expression not changing much. â âi donât know what youâre talking about. i have my own plans.â
She took the things that he was helping to carry. â thank you, third young master yun, for accompanying me to shop. iâll treat you to a meal when we return to the capital to express my gratitude. i still have something to do, so iâll take my leave first. â
Watching her back as she walked away, a ruthless light flashed through Yun Xiaoâs eyes.
She took out her phone and made a call, Yun Jian, are you in Haicheng?
