Chapter 481
She Is From The Countryside
?
481 Stay as a guest
Just now, when she was blocked by people, she found an opportunity to send a message to Tong Yan. Then, Tong Yan hurriedly brought his men over.
âIs there any news of Jiang che?â
she had also sent a message to jiang che, but there was no reply.
âFifth Lord Jiang is at Crescent Bay. As for what happened after he returned, our people didnât follow him too closely for fear of disturbing him, so we donât know. however, one thing is for sure. fifth lord jiang didnât leave the village after he returned to crescent bay. there was no big movement from crescent bay, so fifth lord jiang should be fine.â
shi yan didnât feel at ease because of her words.
he took out his phone and dialed wu yaoziâs number.
He was temporarily unable to connect.
He then dialed the phone number in his memory and called several other people in the village, but he could not get through.
shi yan heaved a sigh of relief.
he couldnât even get through to his phone. it seemed like the signal was blocked.
no matter how capable jiang zhe was, it was impossible for him to touch the entire village. Crescent Bay wasnât some backward village. It had internet access, and many families in the village had surveillance cameras.
âdonât worry, miss shi. fifth brother is my younger brother. Besides, heâs the Jiang familyâs fifth Lord that countless people respect and fear. I was only able to trap him for a short while with the help of the lordmaster, so how could I do anything else?â
just then, shi yanâs phone vibrated.
She received a message: [ itâs fine. Donât worry. Iâll be there soon. ]
shi yan had just finished reading the message when another group of people came. shi yan had seen the first person before. he was the one who had sent the bus to them at the station that day.
âMiss Shi Yan, weâre sorry that weâre late. Weâve frightened you.â
shi yan waved her hand, and that person led the others to the side and stood beside tong yan.
âAs expected of the fifth brother, even with the old masterâs help, he couldnât be trapped for long. He came so quickly.â
âsecond master jiang spent so much effort and risked offending fifth master jiang just to see me. it shouldnât be just to say this, right?â
âIf you have something to say, you can say it all at once. Fifth Lord Jiang and I are here for a vacation. We donât want anyone to come and disturb us every other day.â
âitâs too noisy here, why donât we find a quiet place to sit down and talk?â
âno need. letâs talk here,â shi yan refused. jiang che will be here soon. he said heâll pick me up here, i donât want him to waste his time picking me up from another place.â
âmiss shi is really attentive to fifth brother. If thatâs the case, then letâs talk here.â
âActually, thereâs nothing urgent for me to see miss Shi. I just heard that youâre with fifth brother and that heâs already met the Shi family, who are your elders. as fifth brotherâs family, our jiang family canât be too impolite. itâs only right that we send an elder to formally meet you.â
âItâs a pity that fifth brother is protecting you so well that itâs difficult to even see you.â
âBecause of the misunderstanding between Fifth brother and the family, miss Shi also has some misunderstandings about us. She knows that you donât want to see us, so she sent someone to invite you to see us.â
âin the end, itâs our jiang familyâs fault.â
His face was full of sincerity, and it seemed like he really was.
shi yan watched him calmly and waited for him to finish.
it was rather casual.
âYouâre here to meet me officially as an elder?â
Shi Yan chuckled and said,âspeaking of the Jiang familyâs elders, two of them came to Haicheng to see me.â one was the jiang familyâs great-aunt, the other was the jiang familyâs aunt, and now they were meeting the jiang familyâs second master. unfortunately, whether itâs them or the jiang familyâs second master, the way they came to meet people was not considered impolite.â
theyâre either blocking the way or surrounding us. The Jiang family is a great aristocratic family, after all. This so-called courtesy is really not flattering.
âif youâre really interested in visiting, you can send an invitation to the shi family or the su family in haicheng. my parents are at the su familyâs house now. even if it doesnât work, you can send an invitation to the jiang family in haicheng. the fifth lord and i are currently living there.â
whenever second master Jiang sends me an invitation, I still have basic etiquette. I wonât be so impolite as to refuse an invitation from Jiang Cheâs elder. I wonât go to the extent of second master Jiang taking the trouble to block me here.
â from the looks of it, the jiang familyâs second master spent so much effort to come here. was it really to see me as jiang cheâs elder? â
Without waiting for Jiang Zheâs reply, Shi Yan said, â âi donât think so.â
âSecond master Jiang must have known how much fifth master Jiang valued me and wanted to use me as a bargaining chip to threaten him.â
âitâs a pity that second master jiang has overestimated himself and underestimated me.â
â actually, the jiang familyâs third young master knows a little about my background. second master jiang should have asked the jiang familyâs third young master about my background before coming to find me. â
âHuang âer?â jiang zhe furrowed his eyebrows.
âIt seems that the Jiang familyâs second master doesnât know his son very well. you people of the jiang family are really strange. you donât dare to go directly to fifth lord jiang, and all of you are staring at me. do i look like someone who can be easily manipulated?â
âI originally wanted to wait until the next time I accompanied fifth Lord Jiang back to the capital before going to meet you, but you just had to come to my door again and again to find trouble. Whatâs the point?â
Jiang Zheâs heart skipped a beat when she met Shi Yanâs harmless, smiling eyes.âYouâre so silly!â
miss Shi, you have a deep misunderstanding of the Jiang family. Itâs understandable that you misunderstood my intentions. However, a criminal can still defend himself. Isnât it inappropriate for you to convict me without giving me a chance to explain? â
âi donât really care if itâs suitable or not. since second master jiang is already here, why donât you stay and be a guest for a few days?â
âTong Yan, invite the second master of the Jiang family back to stay for a few days, and inform the third young master of the Jiang family. Zhenzhen, you should directly inform the old master of the Jiang family to come and get him.â
âYes, young lady Yan!â
Tong Yan had been to the city of Qing for a long time. The people she had brought with her had all been through a lot in the city. They were all people who made a living on the edge of a knife. Their skills were far beyond that of ordinary bodyguards.
âSecond master Jiang, sorry for the offense.â tong yan walked straight to jiang zhe.
âmiss shi, what do you mean by this?â
shi yan ignored him.
since tong yan had received shi yanâs order to take action, jiang cheâs men naturally could not stand aside and watch indifferently. they left two men to protect shi yan while the rest went to help.
the scene became chaotic again.
jiang zheâs men had some skills, but jiang zhe himself didnât have much combat power. even if he had some amateur skills, it was when he was young. jiang zhe was already 57 years old. if he were to really fight, he would probably hurt himself before the enemy.
so shi yan really couldnât understand what these people of the jiang family were thinking. they didnât have the slightest confidence and arrogantly came to find trouble. did they not consider the consequences?
No wonder the Jiang family was getting worse and worse without the fifth Lord.
Jiang Zhe probably had his late wifeâs genes to thank for giving birth to children like Jiang Yu and Jiang Shasha.
he was quickly subdued.
âmiss shi, arenât you afraid that you wonât be able to enter the jiang family in the future by doing this?â
âWhy does she need to enter the Jiang family?â a clear voice came.
There was less gentleness in her usual demeanor and a coldness that Shi Yan had never heard of before.
