Chapter 359
She Is From The Countryside
?
359 itâs useless to say more
jiang che knew about feng xiao of qingcheng.
if jiang yu was only the boss behind the scenes, he wouldnât be able to get the news faster than him, especially from haicheng.
the boss behind black cloud didnât have such a great ability.
Then the question was, where did Jiang Yu get the news from?
The news that the head of the Gu family had left the main Gu family was considered top secret. It was not something that anyone could find out just because they wanted to.
not to mention, jiang yu also knew that the other party was suspected to have come to sea city.
âyou are well-informed.â
âfifth uncle, you flatter me. i only received the news, but i canât confirm whether itâs true or not.â Jiang Yu held the teacup with both hands and smiled shyly.
yes, shy.
It was as if she was shy from Jiang Cheâs praise.
if it were someone else, they might have been interested in his sudden change in appearance. unfortunately, the person sitting here was jiang che.
He only took a casual glance at Jiang Yu before retracting his gaze.
There was no change in his expression.
âIâve said so much, but fifth uncle, arenât you curious as to how I know all this? I donât get involved in the Jiang familyâs business. In the eyes of outsiders, Iâm a person who has no power and only focuses on learning. Isnât it strange for me to know all this?â
jiang che lifted his eyes and glanced at him.
without saying a word, jiang yu understood what he meant.
he was saying,âdo i look like someone with such a strong curiosity that i would be interested in other peopleâs affairs?â
thatâs right, with fifth uncleâs indifferent personality, it would be strange if he was interested or even curious about these things, right?
âi wonder if fifth uncle has heard of the soaring cloud company, one of the seven major companies in qingcheng?â
Was he going to confess?
what was the purpose of doing this?
Jiang che couldnât help but look at Jiang Yu.
âI was stupid. Jiang Zhong, fifth uncleâs subordinate, is in Qingcheng. How could fifth uncle not have heard of Feng Xiao?â
I founded black cloud by myself. Black cloudâs main business is to sell and collect information, so my information often comes faster than others.
of course, jiang che knew what kind of business feng xiaoâs main business was.
However, in such a chaotic place like Qingcheng, who didnât have an intelligence network and a source of information to be able to occupy a territory and become an influential force?
Jiang che didnât think that news from Feng Xiao would come faster than the other forces.
âyouâre more promising than those people from the jiang family.â
Jiang che wasnât complimenting him, but Jiang Yu looked embarrassed. âFifth uncle, you flatter me, but Iâm not as good as you.â
jiang yu was the same age as jiang che, and was even two months older than jiang che. the achievements he had spent so much effort to achieve were only barely comparable to jiang zhong, who was under jiang che.
He wasnât wrong to say that he wasnât as good as his fifth uncle.
one had to know that jiang che had four other people under him besides jiang lin.
they were jiang zhong, jiang guan, jiang bai, and jiang ri.
their names added together were âloyal to the dayâ, which meant: the heart of loyalty could be used to describe oneâs loyalty.
however, among the four of them, jiang ri betrayed jiang che and almost caused him to die in a car accident.
the five of them were each responsible for a part of jiang cheâs business.
in the early years, jiang lin and jiang rizhu had stayed by jiang cheâs side to help him deal with the jiang familyâs affairs. of course, they also had other things to do. after all, they were jiang cheâs trusted subordinates.
after jiang riâs betrayal, jiang che also handed over the power of the jiang family. as for the other matters in jiang riâs hands, they were also handed over to jiang lin.
now that jiang lin was by jiang cheâs side, apart from being in charge of the matters on his hands, he was also in charge of being the middleman for the other three people who contacted jiang che.
Jiang Bai stayed in the capital, while Jiang Zhong stayed in Qingcheng.
not many people know about your relationship with Han Xiao. Whatâs your intention for suddenly being honest with me? â
not only did not many people know about it, jiang che thought that other than the people jiang yu trusted, no one else knew about his relationship with feng xiao.
After all, even his miss Shi had only found some biased evidence. She couldnât prove with a hundred percent certainty that Jiang Yu was the boss of Yunxiao.
It was obvious that Jiang che believed in Shi Yanâs ability.
Even though he had never understood her in this aspect.
âfifth uncleâs words are too serious. i donât have any intentions. i just thought that with fifth uncleâs ability, you would definitely be suspicious of me after i revealed so many flaws. if you have the heart to investigate, youâll find out my background sooner or later. instead of letting you investigate, iâd rather confess to you personally.â
âthis way, i can show my sincerity.â
jiang yuâs expression was very serious. â fifth uncle, i have no ill intentions towards you. iâm not familiar with the other members of the jiang family. i donât have much interaction with them. â I have nothing to do with what those people in the family do, so donât take your anger out on me. â
jiang che looked at him, a hint of mockery flashing through his calm eyes. â âyou mean, i was once very close to you?â
No, he didnât.
Since he was young, his fifth uncle had never been close to anyone in the family.
The only person who was close to fifth uncle over the years was Yun Jian, who had been pestering fifth uncle.
even so, there were not many people who knew that yun jian was close to fifth uncle. even he found out by accident.
otherwise, with fifth uncleâs relationship, the yun family wouldnât dare to ignore yun jian.
âSince you didnât get close, how can you talk about being angry and alienating?â
âJiang Yu, donât think too highly of yourself.â
He used the gentlest tone to say the most hateful and heart-wrenching words.
Jiang Zhi clenched the teacup in her hand and drank it in one gulp, as if she was trying to hide her emotions.
after drinking the tea, he poured himself another cup and took a deep breath. he looked at jiang che again and said seriously, â âNo matter what fifth uncleâs attitude towards me is, I want to tell you that I have no ill intentions towards you. You have always been an elder that I respect.â
jiang che glanced at him.
He didnât know if she believed him.
But whether he believed it or not, Jiang Cheâs attitude towards Jiang Yu remained the same.
he didnât care about her, as if she was an insignificant person.
Jiang Yu saw this and seemed a little disappointed, but he didnât seem surprised.
He didnât dwell on this topic, but said, â fifth uncle, when I came to Haicheng, many people thought that I would do the same to fifth uncle and miss Shi as the rest of the Jiang family. The second young master of the Shi family even called me personally and said that the Jiang familyâs dispute had nothing to do with anyone else. He also warned me not to touch his sister.
oh?
Jiang che raised his eyebrows slightly.
âI can see that second young master Shi cares a lot about his younger sister, miss Shi Yan.â
Jiang Yu met Jiang Cheâs gaze and said, â âi donât have any other intentions. i just want to remind you that the second young master of the shi family is not a kind person. he is so protective of his sister. you might have to be mentally prepared in case he comes to make things difficult for you in the future.â
âMake things difficult for me? Do you think he can break me and miss Shi apart?â
Jiang Cheâs expression was still as gentle as before, but his tone was not as calm as before.
his emotions were fluctuating.
Just because of this one sentence.
even though he had long seen that jiang che was very concerned about shi yan, seeing his usually calm emotions fluctuate just because of a sentence that involved shi yan, jiang yu was still a little uneasy.
âItâs not to the extent of breaking you up, but as an elder brother who cares so much about his younger sister, Iâm afraid second young master Shi will make things difficult for you.â
âDo you think Iâm afraid of him?â
Jiang Yu,âYingluo.â
the way he looked at jiang che suddenly became complicated.
He felt that he was a little different from the fifth uncle he was familiar with.
he became more and more curious about what kind of magic shi yan had to be able to turn the introverted, calm, no-desire, elegant, and noble fifth uncle into this.
If it werenât for Shi boyuâs warning, his wariness of the Shi brothers, and his fifth uncleâs tight watch over her, he really wanted to get in touch with Shi Yan and see what kind of magic she had.
âfifth uncle naturally isnât afraid of him. iâm just giving you a reminder so that you can be mentally prepared.â
After a pause, Jiang Yu added, â however, fifth uncle, you donât have to worry too much. I can see that miss Shi Yan cares a lot about you. Even if second young master Shi is your brother, I donât think he can interfere in your Affairs.
âyouâve spoken the truth. miss shi really cares about me.â Jiang che said.
Jiang Xi was speechless.
â i can tell now, â jiang che added. â you really donât have any ill intentions. â
jiang yu didnât want to speak.
he had said so much, but it didnât seem as effective as âmiss shi cares a lot about youâ?
âitâs good that fifth uncle believes me.â
