Chapter 554
She Is From The Countryside
554 Miss Shi is sick
âyou also know that youâre disappointing! If it wasnât for the fact that my son is unreliable, would I have made other plans?â
Jiang Zhe looked at Jiang Yu, who was standing there with a smile and raised eyebrows. â i almost forgot. youâre not a failure. you even have the confidence to go against your grandfather. youâre very capable! â
âi didnât remarry after your mother passed away because i was afraid that my stepmother wouldnât treat you well. i donât think iâve ever owed you and your sister anything. what, are you on guard against me?â
jiang zhe thought that jiang yu would at least feel a little guilty by saying that. unfortunately, jiang yuâs expression didnât change the entire time. he just looked at him with a faint smile.
jiang zhe, who was originally very confident, suddenly felt guilty.
jiang yu laughed. â itâs too much to say that iâm on guard against you. youâre my father. no matter what, you wonât take my life. thereâs no need to be on guard against you. â
â but, did you really not remarry for me and jiang shasha? â
Jiang Zhe suddenly raised his head to look at him.
jiang yu continued. â i used to think that you didnât remarry because of us. i heard some rumors recently. jiang shasha isnât a good person, but sheâs not to the point where she doesnât care about her fatherâs life. â
...
you value Jiang Nan so much. I donât think you really want to find yourself an old man to rely on. Youâre just extending your love to your Crow, right? â
Jiang Zheâs body swayed, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.
His face turned pale.
Seeing his reaction, Jiang Yu acted like nothing had happened and continued to smile. â donât be nervous. iâm not here to settle the score with you. i wonât tell anyone about this. once weâre out of this door, weâll still be a loving father and son. â
However, the more nonchalant he was, the more uneasy Jiang Zhe felt.
This was the first time she was afraid of her son.
âi came to remind you that fifth uncle is back now. donât overestimate yourself and provoke him. iâm trying my best to leave a good impression in front of fifth uncle. as my father, itâs fine if you donât help me, but donât always drag me down.â
âTo be honest, I really donât know where you guys got the confidence to provoke fifth uncle. After so many lessons, you still havenât learned your lesson, provoking him again and again.â
forget it. Weâre father and son. Iâve already reminded you what I should. Do whatever you want and bear the consequences yourself. I, an unfilial son, wonât get involved.
jiang qi turned around and left. he even waved his hand with his back to jiang zhe as he walked. his posture was extremely suave.
Looking at his back as he walked away, Jiang Zheâs face turned red and white. He didnât know if he was too shocked or too angry. In the end, he threw the phone in his hand at him.
...
At the same time, at the Xie family.
xie heng, who was sitting in the study, stopped his work and looked up at xie yu, who was standing opposite him.âwho did you just say returned to the capital?â
miss Shi and the fifth master of the Jiang family arrived at the airport around six O âclock. They should be at the fifth masterâs private Manor by now.
âwhy did yingluo suddenly come back?â
The news of the marriage between the Jiang familyâs fifth master and the Xie familyâs eldest daughter was indeed not spread by many people. Even Xie Heng, the head of the Xie family, was still unaware of it.
Of course, she could not rule out the possibility that Xie Heng was busy with work all day and had no time to pay attention to these gossip.
Xie Yu wanted to say something but stopped.
xie yu being able to stay by xie hengâs side showed that xie heng recognized his ability. his reaction made xie heng realize that things were not simple.
it was not as he had thought. shi yan and jiang che had come back together to the shi family to meet their parents about their marriage.
âIf you have something to say, then say it. When did you learn to be so hesitant?â
a sharp gaze swept over him, and xie yu immediately tensed up. â âi heard a rumor, but iâm not sure if miss shi and the fifth master jiang returned to the capital because of this.â
...
She carefully looked at Xie Hengâs expression and saw that his brows were slightly furrowed. She knew that he was impatient and quickly told him the truth, itâs said that the Jiang family and our Xie family are about to be connected by marriage. The marriage partner is fifth Lord Jiang and eldest miss Yingluo. This rumor is very convincing. Some people even saw eldest miss meet with the Jiang familyâs old master and old Madam in private.
âxie xingran? wasnât she studying abroad? When did you come back?â
Xie Yu,âYingluo.â
she came back before the new year. She came back to spend the new year with you. She even had the New Yearâs Eve dinner with you. However, with her status, she is not qualified to sit at the same table as you. It is normal that you did not notice her.
itâs just that the young miss came to give you a toast that night.
xie yu didnât dare to say the last sentence.
Xie Heng didnât seem to care much about this and asked with a frown, â did she really go to see the old master and old madam of the jiang family? â
â iâm not sure yet. i only heard the rumor this afternoon. after knowing that miss shi and the fifth master jiang had returned to the capital, i guessed that it might be related to this rumor, so i ordered someone to investigate it. i havenât gotten the exact results yet. â
âThis was my oversight. I only discovered it now. Please punish me, patriarch!â
xie heng rubbed his temples.
he didnât even notice it himself, so he naturally wouldnât blame xie yu.
...
he just had a headache.
How did the Xie family get involved with Jiang che again? He had always felt guilty towards Shi Yan. Now that he saw that Shi Yan was doing well, he was afraid that he would cause her trouble if he was careless. but now, the xie family might have caused her a lot of trouble!
investigate it as soon as possible. It was really caused by the Xie family. Deal with it as you should, no need to show mercy!
putting aside shi yan, jiang che was not an easy person to get along with.
even he was a little afraid of jiang che. unless it was absolutely necessary, he was not very willing to be on bad terms with him.
......
shi yan and jiang che did not know how much of a storm they had caused in the capital because of their return. after having dinner at jiang cheâs private manor, the two of them returned to their room early to wash up and rest.
perhaps it was because they were depressed, the two of them were not in high spirits.
even when she first stepped into jiang cheâs private manor, shi yan could not bring herself to be interested. If they were in Haicheng and not the capital, she would have dragged Jiang che along to show her around.
Shi Yan still didnât sleep well that night.
he didnât know if it was a nightmare, but he didnât have a peaceful night. sometimes he was awake, sometimes he was confused, and when it was almost dawn, he had a high fever.
...
Jiang che knew that she couldnât sleep well, so he held her in his arms the whole night. He would wake her up when she was slightly uneasy and Pat her back to comfort her.
At around five o âclock, she broke out in a cold sweat and her body was as hot as a small stove. She was completely awake in an instant.
âYanyan, wake up!â He turned on the bedside lamp and called her softly.
shi yan didnât respond until he called her several times.
It was hard to even open his eyes. His head hurt, his throat hurt, and his voice was a little hoarse.âwhy are you awake? what time is it?â
Because of the fever, her face was covered in sweat. Her pajamas were half-soaked with sweat, and her face was completely red.
this was the first time jiang che had seen shi yan sick. he didnât know whether he was anxious or too distressed, but when he raised his hand to feel the temperature of her forehead, his hand trembled a little.
âMiss Shi Wanwan, youâre running a fever.â
