Chapter 430
She Is From The Countryside
?
430 a chance encounter downstairs
On the way back, song Meilian said that she was afraid that Jing Xuan would be hungry at night, so she brought him some supper, saying that she would keep it warm at home.
seeing this, shi yan had originally planned to bring some for jiang che, but she suddenly remembered that there were still many ingredients in the refrigerator at home. if jiang che was hungry at night, she could personally cook for him. her cooking would definitely be better than the ones bought outside. thus, she gave up the idea of bringing supper.
when the two of them arrived at the entrance of the community, a car suddenly stopped in front of them, and a person got out of the car. He was an acquaintance, but they hadnât seen each other for a while.
âAh ning, miss Shi.â
She was ye Chengcheng, song Meilianâs cousin.
song meilian didnât expect to see her here, and was stunned for a moment.âCousin.â
âMiss ye,â Shi Yan also nodded in greeting.
â i had some work to discuss here and was about to drive home when i saw two people walking by the road. i thought it looked like you two, so i followed them. i didnât expect it to really be you two. â ye chengcheng said with a smile.
âitâs so late, what are you guys doing here? There arenât many people on this road, and itâs night time. Itâs not safe for you two girls. Where are you going? iâll send you guys.â
ever since the yu familyâs banquet, ye chengcheng had realized that she couldnât interfere in the relationship between jing xuan and song meilian. she had never seen them again and had been busy with work.
It was a coincidence that they met here tonight.
âNo need, weâre here.â Song Meilian looked at the gate of the community in front of her.
âAre you here to find someone or are you staying here?â
other things aside, ye chengcheng saw song meilian as her younger sister. she would not feel at ease if she did not ask about the two girls coming here alone in the middle of the night.
âIâll stay here.â song meilian replied.
Live here?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âthen you should hurry in.â he smiled.
the two nodded. song meilian said, â cousin, you should go back early too. drive safely. â
âAlright,â he said.
As the two of them walked into the neighborhood, ye Chengcheng suddenly called out to song Meilian, â âah ning!â
âis there anything else, cousin?â
âitâs nothing important. i just wanted to tell you that the ye family has an overseas branch company that iâll take over in two days. iâll probably stay for a few years before coming back, and i donât know when weâll meet again. Donât worry, I wonât tell them who you are. Iâll only say that youâre a junior that Iâm close to.â
song meilian had wanted to reject her outright, but when she saw the hope in ye chengchengâs eyes, she hesitated for a moment before saying, â âokay, thank you, cousin.â
âcousin, you have to take care of yourself when youâre out alone.â
âYeah, you too.â
âAlso, you and Jing Zhenzhen, aunt Jing may be mean to you, but she canât make the decision. If she says something mean to you, just pretend you didnât hear it. if she goes too far, you can tell master jing and let him handle it. donât take it all on yourself.â
Song Meilian knew that ye Chengcheng had liked Jing Xuan for many years. She knew that ye Chengcheng must have felt terrible when she said those words to her.
Her heart also felt a little uncomfortable.
âYingluo will do. Thank you, cousin.â
Ye Chengcheng smiled and waved at them. âAlright, hurry up and go in.â
âGoodbye, cousin,â song Meilian looked at her deeply.
he turned around and walked into the community with shi yan.
after that, song meilian remained silent. shi yan looked at her for a moment before looking away and continuing to walk without a word.
although there were still people in the ye family, ye chengcheng was probably the only one who treated song meilian as family. coincidentally, the two of them were love rivals. it was one thing for her to be a love rival, but ye chengcheng had decided to leave the country after taking the initiative to withdraw. he did not know when they would meet again.
song meilian must be feeling very bad.
It wasnât appropriate to say anything at this time.
after walking quietly for a while, song meilian spoke first, â â actually, iâd rather she wasnât so nice to me. i also hope that she can take the initiative to fight for it. it doesnât matter if sheâs ruthless. â
âitâs not a bad thing for her to be like this.â Shi Yan said.
âlet you go, and let herself go.â
there were not many people who could be as carefree as ye chengcheng when it came to relationships, especially when it came to such deep feelings. there were even fewer people who could distinguish between a love rival and a sister as clearly as she did.
Shi Yan had some admiration for ye Chengcheng.
to be honest, if this kind of thing were to happen to her, she might not be as free and easy as ye chengcheng. after all, she was the kind of person who was determined to win over someone.
âI donât feel guilty towards her, because even if she fights for it, I wonât give Jing Xuan to her. but i donât know why, but seeing her like this, i still canât help but feel a little sad.â
âitâs only human nature.â Shi Yan said.
âSheâs already left so easily, so you donât have to be too conflicted. Thereâs still a long way to go in life. She might meet the right person for her at any time. it was better for her to be like this than to trap herself. Trapping herself in a relationship that is destined to have no results will only delay her from meeting the right person.â
as she mulled over shi yanâs words, song meilian suddenly felt relieved.
âYouâre right, this might be good for her.â
Seeing that she was finally no longer entangled in this matter, Shi Yan changed the topic. â your new work has been released for some time. iâve been a little busy recently and didnât pay attention. howâs your new work after itâs released? â
itâs not bad. It already has a basic reader base, and the new work has been prepared for a long time. Itâs more in-depth than the previous one, and the things involved are more extensive. Itâs only been released for two weeks, and we can already see the obvious results.
âiâll have to go take a look when iâm free.â
sure, but thereâs no hurry. You have a lot of work to do, so you should take more time to rest. I estimate that it will take at least three years to finish this book. It wonât be too late to read it when youâre not so focused on your studies.
âMy studies arenât that important.â Shi Yan said with a smile.
she could still find some time to relax.
alright, you can go and take a look when youâre free. Just treat it as a leisure trip.
In fact, she really hoped that Shi Yan could go and take a look. In terms of historical knowledge, she didnât understand it as well as Shi Yan. She had to ask Shi Yan for help before she could write. If Shi Yan could look at it, she would be able to find any loopholes that she hadnât discovered. It would be easier for her to fix them.
âAlright,â he said.
the two of them chatted and laughed as they arrived at the apartment.
Just as she was about to enter the apartment building, she was stopped by someone.âShi Yan.â
He turned around and saw a man wearing silly glasses and carrying a school bag standing under the streetlight a few steps away.
Shi Yanâs eyes were fixed on his face for half a second, and she nodded with a smile.âStudent Gu.â
âStudent song.â gu tan held his glasses and politely greeted song meilian.
The two of them were the first to enter the academy, and they often met in school, so song Meilian naturally knew Gu Tan.
âstudent gu.â
âwhat is gu yusheng doing here?â song meilian asked.
â iâm a private tutor. the students âhomes are here. â
âso, student gu, are you going back after tutoring?â
âyes, i am.â He looked at them and asked, â are you two here to be private tutors as well? â
