Chapter 394
She Is From The Countryside
?
394 I like this feeling
however, shi yan didnât look at him too much. she just smiled and took a few more glances before looking away. she nodded and greeted jing hailan, who was beside su mu.âSister hai LAN,â
âYan, I havenât seen you in a while, but I feel like youâve lost a lot of weight.â
shi yan looked down at herself and said with a smile,âWhy did everyone say I lost weight? i donât think iâve changed much.â
a few days ago, jiang che had also said that she had lost weight when he was carrying her. he had even kept putting food in her bowl and telling her to eat more.
jiang che pinched her fingers and didnât say anything.
shi yan looked into his deep and calm eyes and felt a little guilty.
professor li had recently arranged two research projects for her. she didnât like to push back the things that were in front of her. she had to read books while working on two research projects. she really hadnât had a good rest recently.
it wasnât that jiang che didnât advise her to strike a balance between work and rest and not put too much pressure on herself. she said it was fine and within an acceptable range. she wouldnât collapse from exhaustion.
In fact, it was still within the acceptable range.
but it was definitely more tiring than usual.
âyouâre a little thin.â Su mu also said.
âdid you not rest well due to the heavy workload?â
âNo, Iâm on a diet.â
looking at shi yanâs indifferent expression, it was hard to tell that she was lying.
Of course, Shi Yan didnât dare to look at Jiang che and say this.
Once she met Jiang Cheâs deep eyes, she felt weak. How could she still be so calm?
âYouâre so skinny, why are you losing weight?â Su mu frowned in disagreement.
su mu is right, â Jing Hailan chimed in. sister Yan, youâre so skinny. You donât need to lose weight.
âLose what weight? The way you were before was good enough. Besides, youâre still young and youâre still growing. You need to keep up with the nutrition and donât damage your body. fifth brother, youâre really something, how do you take care of people?â
Aunt Wan walked over, supporting old lady Jiang.
among the people here, other than shi yan, only the old madam would dare to say that to jiang che.
not only was jiang che not angry, but he also admitted frankly, â âI didnât take good care of her.â
Shi Yan was helpless.
What did this have to do with him? he had clearly taken good care of her.
She had lived alone for nine years and had taken care of her three meals a day. No one cared whether she was fat or thin, and she had never cared about it herself. However, she had to admit that it was not a bad feeling to have someone staring at her and telling her to eat more and rest more even though she was a little thinner.
âSince you know that you didnât take good care of her, then take good care of her.â
âDonât just stand there. Letâs all go sit down and eat,â the old lady said as she looked at the crowd.
jiang cheâs status was clear. he sat next to the old lady.
Jiang Cheng was the current head of the Jiang family in Haicheng, and he was also the main character today, so he naturally had to sit in the main seat. He sat on the other side of the old lady.
shi yan and jiang rui sat down next to jiang che and jiang cheng in turn.
Before he sat down, Jiang Cheng greeted Jiang che respectfully, â âFifth uncle,â
jiang che nodded slightly.
âmiss shi.â Jiang Cheng nodded at Shi Yan again.
ârui âer canât stay idle alone, so i had to trouble miss shi to accompany her just now.â
Rui âer and I are friends, so itâs normal for us to chat. Young master Jiang, youâre too kind.
jiang rui raised her chin at jiang yu,âwhat do you mean i canât stay idle alone?â i havenât talked to yan in a long time, so i wanted to talk to her. â
âyes, yes, yes, i said the wrong thing.â
âHmph,â he snorted.
âAlright, letâs sit down.â
Jiang Cheng pulled her to sit down, a hint of helplessness flashing across his face.
there was no impatience, only helplessness, a kind of helplessness that was filled with love.
shi yan saw this scene, smiled faintly, and turned her eyes elsewhere.
only after he sat down did he realize that there were many people.
at the long dining table, li xiran and wang yinghao were sitting together, a little far from her, while wang shan was sitting on the other side of wang yinghao.
in this way, wang shanâs identity was also very clear.
When Shi Yan looked over, li xiran was pouring a glass of fruit juice and passing it to Wang yinghao. Wang Shan thanked her politely and indifferently.
Then, li xiranâs expression seemed a little strange.
shi yan could not help but raise her eyebrows.
âWhat are you looking at?â Jiang che poured a glass of fruit juice and placed it in front of her.
âDid you find something interesting?â Shi Yan asked with a faint smile.
âInteresting things?â
She wasnât a gossiper, and she wasnât a curious person. For her to say that she had found something interesting, besides the fact that the matter itself was interesting, it should be related to her recent cheerful mood.
when they first met, she was indifferent and gentle, and now she was naturally the same, but she had a little more of the attributes that a little girl of her age should have.
it was fresh and lively.
At least in front of him, that was the case.
She beckoned him to lower his head with a hook of her finger. Jiang che lowered his head and moved his ear closer to cooperate with her. A doting smile seemed to flash across his clear and gentle face.
â look over there. itâs senior wang shan whom we met when we went to the movies last time. i heard most of her conversation with brother xiran. they obviously donât like each other. i donât know what happened, but brother xiranâs attitude towards senior wang shan seems to have changed. â
âI heard that brother xiran is a man who has been among thousands of flowers and has countless female confidants. I heard that he doesnât intend to stop, but now it seems that his heart is out of his control. And senior Wang Shan doesnât seem to be interested in him. Iâm afraid the Playboy is going to fail this time.â
âmiss shi, are you gloating?â jiang che chuckled.
shi yan was stunned.
Gloating?
it seemed to be.
But she wasnât that kind of person in the past. She had never cared much about other peopleâs Affairs. She would just let it pass and not pay attention to it.
âyingluo, iâm not. i just think this is interesting.â
She had always gone with the flow. Even if she had noticed her change, she would not have bothered.
so what if he had changed? it wasnât a big deal. she wasnât someone who would casually find someone to gossip about. if this person wasnât jiang che, she wouldnât have told him this.
jiang che smiled at her.
it was as if he had seen through her.
Shi Yan,âYingluo.â
he was too lazy to quibble.
Jiang che chuckled and gently tucked her hair behind her ear.
The two of them spoke in a low voice, and the restaurant was too noisy. No one else heard their conversation, but their intimate whispering was clearly seen by everyone.
Grandma Jiang was satisfied, but the others âemotions were more complicated, but most of them were envious and pleased.
your sister and her boyfriend have a good relationship. gu yi, who was sitting beside su mu, said.
su mu watched as the two of them retracted their gazes and said, â âYes, their relationship is quite good.â
if they didnât even have this little bit of feelings, not to mention that they wouldnât agree to yanyan and jiang che being together, even yanyan herself would probably not use the word â forever â on her and jiang che.
I heard young master Jiang call your sisterâs boyfriend fifth uncle. Is he the fifth master Jiang from the capital? â
By now, it was no secret in the circle that the fifth master of the Jiang family in Haicheng was the same fifth master of the Jiang family in Jingdu.
ânot bad.â
Meeting su MUâs gaze, Gu yixiao said, â âI didnât think that I would one day be able to meet the famous fifth Lord Jiang and even sit at the same table as him to eat. Itâs all thanks to you and young master Jiang.â
âit has nothing to do with me. youâre here to celebrate his birthday as his friend.â
âif it wasnât you, i wouldnât have been able to speak in front of fifth lord jiang. donât be so modest. you donât know, just now in front of this lord, i looked calm on the surface, but in fact, i was so nervous that i didnât even dare to look at him.â
âyour younger sister is also very powerful. she looks young but in front of that lord, she did not show any fear.â
âWhy would I?â Su mu didnât quite agree with what he said.
âfifth lord jiang is indeed a character, and my sister isnât bad either. Theyâre equal when theyâre together, and my little sister isnât any shorter than the fifth Lord Jiang. the fact that we agreed to my sisterâs relationship with him and didnât interfere in their affairs has nothing to do with fifth lord jiangâs status. itâs only because he was chosen by my sister herself. we hope that my sister will be happy and respect her wishes.â
gu yi looked at him in surprise and then laughed.âno, su mu, do you have to have such a big reaction? iâm just complimenting your sisterâs courage. i donât mean anything else. You really care a lot about your little sister.â
Su mu also realized that he had overreacted.
âiâm sorry. i donât mean anything by that. i just donât like it when others think that my sister is attached to the fifth lord and is his subordinate. my sister is an independent individual. sheâs with the fifth lord, so sheâs on the same level as him. in the eyes of us family members, my younger sister is worthy of anyone, but no one is worthy of my younger sister, even if the other party is the fifth master of the jiang family.â
Waving his hand indifferently, Gu Yi said, â weâve known each other for so many years. Youâre apologizing to me over such a small matter. Youâre treating me as an outsider.
Jing Hailan had heard their conversation.
He laughed and said,âlook at you guys. Itâs not a big deal, but you almost quarreled.â Come, come, come, have a drink together and this matter will be over. Have a good meal.â
then, he looked at gu yi.
the smile on her face became more and more charming.
âalthough fifth lord jiang is sister yanâs boyfriend, we all know that only sister yan is special to him. we canât forget what kind of person fifth lord jiang is just because heâs giving us face for sister yan.â
âeven in private, itâs best that we donât talk about fifth lord jiangâs matters.â
Gu Yi took the wine she handed over and raised his glass.âI was being silly. Thank you for your reminder, miss Jing.â
âItâs just a small matter. President Gu is su MUâs friend. Weâre on the same side.â
Shi Yan didnât know about this interaction.
After the meal, the young man cut the cake in the restaurant and continued to play.
she was going to jiang shengâs courtyard.
in a young peopleâs place, drinking was naturally the main thing.
shi yan and jiang che also went.
Everyone knew that Jiang che was willing to go with them because of Shi Yan.
jiang rui held shi yanâs hand and walked in front. jiang che naturally had to follow.
Although Jiang Ruiâs hand on Shi Yanâs arm was an eyesore, Jiang che didnât say anything. He didnât even show any change in his emotions on his face.
He would be jealous of Shi Yanâs friends, but he would not interfere.
on the other hand, jiang chengâs face was expressionless. his eyes were slightly sunken as he stared at jiang ruiâs hand that was holding shi yanâs hand. he had to resist the urge to pull her over.
