Chapter 458
She Is From The Countryside
?
458 no other reason than to feel at ease
âiâm fine. thank you for your concern.â When Shi Yan came back to her senses, her expression was no different from before. She smiled and was polite.
although he had seen the scene just now, dou chao did not seem to have any intention of asking. he just smiled and said,âitâs good that you are fine. Itâs a holiday tomorrow and student Shi is still in school. Are you planning to leave tomorrow?â
âiâm going back to the dormitory to pack my luggage.â
This meant that he would be leaving the school today.
Dou Chao understood.
I remember that your classmateâs house is a little far from Haicheng. The scenery there is not bad, and you went to her house during the long holiday. She shouldnât be leaving school today, right? â
Shi Yan looked at Dou Chao with a smile.
Or rather, it was only now that she began to seriously size up this Dou Chao.
it had to be said that people who could enter the basketball club were not too bad in height and body shape. although they were not the most outstanding among the crowd, they were definitely not bad. moreover, they were admitted to haicheng university, so they were also considered excellent.
Was he after Ren Kexin?
shi yan realized that she had become more gossipy after this semester.
âI think so. Is student Dou looking for her for something?â
itâs nothing urgent, â Dou chaoxiao said with a smile. I just thought that the winter vacation is going to be long, so I want to go out with a few friends to play for a few days. I heard that the place youâre going to on the 11th has a good view, so Iâm going to ask student Ren about it.
â then youâll have to hurry, student dou. kexin will probably leave school tomorrow. â
alright. Thank you for your reminder, student Shi.
shi yan didnât say anything more. with a smile, her eyes swept from him to gu tan, who had been silent all this time. her eyes only stayed on his face for half a second before she withdrew. she nodded and walked past them in the direction of the dormitory.
Looking at her back as she walked away, Dou Chao said with a slight sigh,âStudent Shi is really not simple. I heard her calling that old lady âgrandmotherâ from afar. not everyoneâs grandmother would dare to take someone away in public so arrogantly. student shiâs family background must be more powerful than we thought!â
âBrainiac, why donât you look surprised?â
âiâve never been interested in other peopleâs private affairs. Besides, Iâm just classmates with her. Her family background has nothing to do with me. Donât think too much about it. Thatâs a level that we canât reach. We just have to treat student Shi as an ordinary student.â
Dou Zhao glanced at him and smiled.âThatâs true. Letâs go, Liu Qi and the others should have already ordered the dishes.â
when shi yan returned to the dormitory, jiang che was already waiting for her.
The car was parked in an inconspicuous spot, but Shi Yan could still see it at a glance.
jiang che probably didnât want to attract too much attention, so he didnât get out of the car. however, when she saw his car parked there, shi yanâs eyes lit up and she ran over quickly.
As soon as she walked over, the window of the driverâs seat rolled down and Shi Yan leaned on it. âDidnât I tell you to wait for me at the apartment? why are you here?â
The first thing he saw was her smiling face. Jiang Cheâs gaze instantly softened and he leaned over to give her a Peck between her eyebrows.âiâm afraid youâll have to bring a lot of things. i donât have much to do anyway.â
He cupped her face with one hand, his thumb gently caressing her delicate face. âdidnât you already have your meal? Why are you back so late?â
âi met an acquaintance on the way and was delayed.â
âwho did you meet?â
jiang che couldnât be blamed for not guessing that she had met a member of the shi family. now, when shi yan met a member of the shi family again, other than being stunned for a moment at the beginning, she didnât feel much other emotions after she came back to her senses. at least, she wouldnât be emotionally affected as much as before.
Shi Yan tilted her head slightly and rubbed her face against his palm, acting a little coquettishly.
âThe Gu Yuanyuan and Wanwan that I met at the hot spring resort last time, my grandmother.â
The hand that was caressing her face paused slightly. Jiang che was a little worried, but seeing that her expression didnât change much, he slowly relaxed.
âyour grandmother?â
yes, he said that he wanted to have a meal with me after my exam. He just happened to meet Gu Yuanyuan who was looking for trouble with me, so he took her away. He asked me to come to Jade Restaurant at five o âclock tomorrow afternoon.
shi yan had nothing to hide from jiang che.
âDo you want me to go with you tomorrow?â
he didnât ask if she agreed because there was no need to.
shi yanâs face was pressed against his palm as she leaned against the car window and looked up at him.âDo you want to go with me?â
âIf you want me to keep you company, Iâll do it.â
okay, then you can come with me. Wait for me in the backyard after you get there.
Seeing her grandmother again after so many years, Shi Yan did not intend to bring Jiang che to her right now, but she wanted Jiang che to go with her.
She was at ease with him around. That was all.
âAlright,â he said.
jiang che didnât have any objections to her not bringing him along. She had her own arrangements and plans, and he completely respected her in these matters.
âGo and pack your things, Iâll wait for you here.â
âyes.â
â mr. jiang, we said that we would stay in haicheng for a few days before going to crescent bay after the holiday. letâs go there in advance. â
alright, Iâll arrange my things tomorrow. Weâll leave the day after tomorrow.
Shi Yan took his hand and rubbed it against his palm for a while. She narrowed her eyes and smiled before letting go of his hand.
teacher jiang really didnât have any principles if he followed her like this.
however, she liked it very much.
When she returned to the dormitory, the other three were packing up.
âShi Yan, youâre back!â ren kexin was the first to see her. â iâm almost done packing. do you have a lot of things to pack? â Do you need my help?â
â no need. i only brought a few clothes and a few books. iâll be done in no time. â After a pause, Shi Yan looked at Ren Kexin. Kexin, are you close to Dou Chao? â
âdou chao?â it took ren kexin a while to realize who this person was. â is it the one who often walks with the top student gu from our schoolâs journalism department? â
Shi Yan nodded.
I canât say Iâm familiar with him. I only know that thereâs such a person. Why are you suddenly asking me this? â
âItâs nothing.â He smiled and shook his head.
â we met on the road just now. he asked me if youâre leaving school today. he said that he heard that we went to your hometown on the 11th and found out that the scenery there was pretty good. he planned to go with a few friends during the winter break and wanted to ask you. i thought you two were close. â
âweâre not close, we havenât even talked much. however, he thought of inviting his friends to our place to play. he has good taste! Because of this, if he asks me, Iâll definitely tell him everything I know!â
Shi Yan smiled without saying anything.
The few of them continued to pack up.
That night, Shi Yan and Jiang che did not stay in the apartment. They returned to the apartment to take the things that Jiang che had packed and returned to the Jiang familyâs old residence.
At around nine O âclock in the evening, in the Presidential Suite of a hotel in Haicheng.
in the living room.
one of them was tied up, gagged, and thrown in a corner. two bodyguards were standing in the living room, and two people were sitting on the sofa. one was an old man who was over 50 years old, and the other was a young man who was about 25 or 26 years old.
They were all expressionless and dignified.
they were the shi familyâs first wife, xie xi n, and the shi familyâs third young master, shi boyu.
