Chapter 240

240 Cut the peach blossom yourself

Meeting their gazes, Xuan Siyun maintained her smile and explained to Jiang che, ” I went to Haicheng University to look for cousin Rui ‘er. She had a meal with Shi Yan. Thinking that the Jiang family and the Xuan family had some business dealings in the early years, they could be considered friends, so Rui’ er asked about the fifth Lord Jiang.

“at that time, i didn’t know that student shi yan was familiar with fifth lord jiang, so i made a joke of myself.”

Xuan Siyun’s ability to remain calm wasn’t something ordinary people could have.

at this time, if it were anyone else, they would have already hidden far away from embarrassment. however, not only did she not hide, but she also found an excuse to give herself a way out.

There was nothing wrong with what she said, but it was not entirely correct for her to say that she and Jiang che were old friends. She said that the two families had some business dealings in the early years and could barely be considered friends.

this was the truth. it was just that she wasn’t the one who dealt with the fifth lord jiang when they had business dealings, but how many people present would know about this?

she also did not mention that she had said that shi yan was not jiang che’s type.

He had regained most of his face.

at least on the surface, that was the case.

Shi Yan looked at Xuan Siyun and thought,”as expected of the person who defeated all the younger generation of the Xuan family and was chosen as the successor. She really has some ability.”

if she pointed out that xuan siyun and jiang che were old friends, xuan siyun might use the friendship between the two families as an excuse and not refute her on purpose.

As long as Xuan Siyun’s tone and expression were appropriate, she could easily resolve it.

In any case, Xuan Siyun wouldn’t be too embarrassed.

Fortunately, she had never seen Xuan Siyun as su mi and Xuan wanrou on the same level. She knew that Xuan Siyun wasn’t easy to deal with, so she wasn’t surprised.

Her only purpose today was to let everyone know that Jiang che was her man. That was all. as for whether or not xuan siyun had other plans and how she would deal with them, that was a matter for the future.

however, shi yan wasn’t someone who would be at a disadvantage.

Qian ya smiled and replied to Xuan Siyun, ” I’ve been with Jiang che for a while. I know what kind of friends he has. When miss Xuan told me that you and Jiang che were old friends, I was a little curious. Now that you’re saying that your families are friends, I can understand.”

“Speaking of which, I hope miss Xuan doesn’t mind that I didn’t reveal my relationship with Jiang che at the dinner table. it’s our first time meeting and we’re not very familiar with each other. it’s a little inappropriate to just tell you that i’m jiang che’s girlfriend.”

” besides, miss xuan said that i’m not jiang che’s type. if i were to say that i’m his girlfriend, i would be suspicious of her. that’s why i didn’t say anything. ”

He didn’t mention that she had deliberately asked Xuan Siyun about Jiang che.

in fact, she didn’t say it out loud because she felt that it wouldn’t be as impactful as letting xuan siyun see it with her own eyes.

seeing it with one’s own eyes was better than any words.

Xuan Siyun’s eyes darkened as she looked at Shi Yan, who was smiling calmly.

This Shi Yan looked young, but he was a powerful person.

He was calm and unruffled, yet he did this without leaving any traces!

It didn’t seem like anything, but in fact, he had said everything!

He didn’t even mention that she pretended to be unfamiliar with the fifth Lord Jiang to fool her!

however, she couldn’t make it clear. otherwise, this topic might get deeper and deeper. she had finally found a way out for herself, but she had to block it again. she could only swallow this loss!

“shi yan, you’re overthinking it. i don’t mind.”

“What I said at that time was also inappropriate. I shouldn’t have felt that you’re not the type that the fifth Lord Jiang likes just because you’re young, Shi Yan.”

“it’s good that miss xuan doesn’t mind.”

as for miss Xuan, I’ll take it that you’re complimenting my young age. After all, men don’t like young and beautiful women. Even fifth Lord Jiang is no exception, right? ”

The last question was directed at Jiang che.

Jiang che couldn’t help but chuckle.

“miss shi is the youngest and most beautiful,” he added.

shi yan, who was standing beside jiang che, glared at him when she heard his teasing words. she then smiled at xuan siyun and said, let me formally introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Jiang che.

xuan siyun’s expression cracked.

he forced a smile and said, ” “i’ve always thought that the fifth lord jiang is the bright moon in the sky that doesn’t taint the secular world. i never thought that there would be a day when the fifth lord jiang would taint the secular world. i think that student shi yan must be extremely outstanding to receive such special treatment from the fifth lord.”

“i’m not involved in the secular world because i haven’t met miss shi.” it was jiang che who replied.

He was looking at Shi Yan when he said this.

his voice was warm and his eyes were filled with affection.

“Of course, miss Shi is very outstanding, or I wouldn’t have taken a fancy to her at first sight.” miss shi said that she fell in love with me at first sight, but i didn’t know that it was me who fell in love with her at first sight.”

“In the early years, I did have some business dealings with miss Xuan’s grandfather and father, but I didn’t have much interaction with miss Xuan. it took me a lot of effort to catch up with miss shi. in the future, miss xuan, don’t say things like we’re old friends and miss shi isn’t my type to cause her to misunderstand me. ”

Gently stroking the back of Shi Yan’s hand, she looked up at Shi Yan and said with a smile, ” “otherwise, if i anger her and make her run away, where am i going to find such a satisfactory girlfriend?”

“Don’t you agree, miss Shi?”

Shi Yan could not help but smile.

as expected of someone who could think of giving his girlfriend a full set of lipstick. he cut off his own peach blossom and still didn’t forget to take credit from her. he really knew how to do it.

“Mr. Jiang, I’m not that petty.”

she apologized to xuan siyun, who had a twisted expression on her face, ” he has always been more direct with his words. he doesn’t have any ill intentions. please don’t mind him, miss xuan. ”

it was fine if she didn’t say this, but now that she did, xuan siyun couldn’t suppress her anger.

Seeing Xuan Siyun’s reaction, Yun Hui quickly said, ” “it’s not a big deal, siyun won’t mind.”

meeting xuan siyun’s unfriendly gaze, yun hui gave her a look, indicating for her to calm down and not offend the fifth lord.

xuan siyun understood what he meant and took a deep breath to suppress her anger.

she couldn’t lose her cool first.

he had never thought that the fifth lord jiang would fall for shi yan!

Yes, he was truly moved.

If he hadn’t been truly moved, how could the Jiang family’s fifth Lord, who had always been gentle and didn’t reveal his emotions, say these words that didn’t match his temperament? not to mention, he was almost smiling when he said these words.

in addition, he looked at shi yan with deep affection, as if he could see no one else but shi yan!

But even so, what could he do?

However, she was just a little girl without any background. Anyone from the capital could easily deal with her. How long could she stay by fifth Lord Jiang’s side like this?

There were many people in the capital who wanted fifth Lord Jiang’s life. They couldn’t touch fifth Lord Jiang, but could they not touch a little girl from the countryside with no background?

She didn’t want to be the first person to appear, so as not to be discovered by the fifth Lord and cause trouble. She’d better wait with peace of mind. Someone would be unable to resist making the first move.

he would sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, reaping the benefits.

this was her way of survival before she was chosen as the successor by her grandfather.

“Shi Yan, you’re joking. I don’t mind.”

as xuan siyun spoke, her gaze fell on jiang che’s wheelchair. she frowned slightly.”fifth lord’s injuries are very bad.”

he didn’t continue asking and stopped in time.

“i’m almost fully recovered, thank you for your concern, miss xuan,” shi yan replied.
