Chapter 595
She Is From The Countryside
595 Jiang che suddenly scared people
How could he not be nervous!
they never dared to dream that they would one day be invited to a meal by their fifth uncle.
Although this meal was obviously arranged by Shi Yan, she wouldnât have arranged it if fifth uncle didnât agree.
If they rounded it up, it meant that fifth uncle was treating them to a meal.
if they had not only invited a few juniors, they would have suspected that shi yan wanted to use this opportunity to gather everyone to vent her fifth uncleâs anger.
in the past, his fifth uncle had indeed suffered a lot of unfair treatment in the jiang family.
it was a good thing that the younger generation had not done anything overboard to fifth uncle.
Well, they didnât have the guts to do anything to fifth uncle. Even someone as stupid as Jiang Wei didnât dare to stand in front of fifth uncle. Even when Jiang Wei went to Haicheng, she only dared to look for Shi Yan.
âmiss shi yan, you must be joking. weâre more than happy that you and fifth uncle are treating us to a meal. why would we be nervous?â jiang yun pretended to be calm.
...
She stole a glance at Jiang che and stammered. I ... I donât know why miss Shi Yan suddenly wants to treat us to a meal. Is ... Is there something you want us to do? â
She actually wanted to ask if they had made any mistakes recently.
donât think too much. Thereâs nothing else. Iâm just treating you guys to a meal.
shi yan looked at jiang yu and smiled. I really need to find an excuse for this meal. Just take it as me thanking third young master Jiang for speaking up for justice at the banquet yesterday.
If that was the case, she could have just invited Jiang Yu alone. they didnât have a good relationship with jiang yu, so it wasnât their turn to benefit from him.
It was obvious that this was not the reason why Shi Yan wanted to treat them to dinner.
jiang yu couldnât guess why shi yan wanted to treat them to this meal.
âyingluo, is that so? then weâre taking advantage of third brother.â jiang yun said with a smile.
shi yan smiled and looked at jiang nanâs family of three.
Although the child was young, he was very well-behaved and sat quietly beside his mother.
âyoung master jiang.â
...
âMiss Shi,â Jiang Nan replied.
he was worthy of being the calmest junior of the jiang family. he quickly adjusted his state of mind. when shi yan pointed at him, he was able to respond with his usual calm expression.
â this is the first time weâve truly met. iâm very grateful that young master jiang is willing to give me face and come with his wife and son. â
By now, Shi Yan had understood many things that she needed to know, especially those related to Jiang che.
In the early years of the Jiang family, Jiang che had received a lot of care from Jiang Nan. shi yan was grateful to jiang nan.
âmiss shi, youâre too kind,â jiang nan replied calmly.
â i should have brought my wife and children to haicheng for a visit, but i havenât found the right time. i hope miss shi doesnât blame me. â
This was not a polite remark. After learning that Jiang che had a girlfriend, he had indeed wanted to bring his wife and children to Haicheng to visit more than once. due to various reasons, he did not manage to go.
âitâs fine, weâve already met.â
Shi Yan had originally wanted to ask Jiang che if he wanted to say something, but seeing that he was treating the Jiang familyâs juniors like air, she immediately dispelled this thought.
Forget it, it was already good enough that he could sit here.
...
She just felt a little sorry for him.
his father wasnât like his father, and his mother wasnât like his mother. even if the younger generation treated him well, they mostly respected and feared him. they werenât like family, but more like superiors and subordinates.
However, it was understandable. After all, it was the relationship between an elder and a junior.
an elder should indeed have the dignity of an elder.
thinking about it, it was also fortunate that the fifth lord jiang had this bit of dignity. otherwise, he would have been bullied to the point that not even dregs would be left.
Jiang che didnât say anything. Shi Yan wasnât a talkative person, and the others didnât dare to speak carelessly. After a simple opening conversation, the private room became quiet.
Fortunately, the food was served in time, and everyone could relax a little by burying their heads in the food.
but she couldnât just keep quiet, so as the elder sister-in-law, zhao yuâs role was revealed.
she put some food into her sonâs bowl and said, â âMiss Shi, are you and fifth uncle leaving the capital soon? I heard that youâre studying in Haicheng. Itâs not the winter or summer break now, so youâre going back to Haicheng to study, right?â
âyes, iâm leaving tomorrow morning,â
âTomorrow morning? are you in such a hurry?â
...
âiâve taken a weekâs leave, i have to go back.â
âthatâs true. studies are important. Weâve let miss Shi spend so much money this time. The next time you and fifth uncle return to the capital, Jiang Nan and I will treat you again.â
......
their conversation wasnât considered private, and they spoke one sentence after another at a moderate pace.
the atmosphere had really eased up.
after the meal, jiang yun admired zhao yuâs sister-in-law.
usually, he didnât show off, but at the critical moment, he was actually so capable!
When they came out of the restaurant, Jiang Yun called out to Shi Yan.âmiss shi yan!â
Shi Yan looked at her.
Jiang Yun smiled a little foolishly,âcan I still go to Haicheng to play with you? i went to haicheng as an exchange student before, so i spent most of my time in school. i havenât had a good time in haicheng before. i heard that there are a few good scenic spots in haicheng, and iâve been wanting to go there for a long time.â
âof course, yingluo!â
...
shi yan was about to answer when jiang che interrupted her.
âhaicheng is right there. if you want to go, go. why do you have to ask her? I donât care if you go to Haicheng or not. Ms. Shi, do you look so free?â
â fifth uncle, iâm not yingluo! â jiang yun was so scared that her face turned pale.
â you still want to play with miss shi? if youâre free, you may have the time, but miss shi doesnât. â
seeing that jiang yun was about to cry from fright, shi yan hurriedly tugged at jiang cheâs sleeve.
Jiang che looked at her indifferently.
it was a very light glance, but shi yan saw a warning in it. she blinked and cleverly chose to shut up.
âgo wherever you want to go, donât even think about getting miss shi to accompany you!â
With that said, he dragged Shi Yan away.
jiang qi stood at the side and looked at jiang yun as if she was an idiot.
jiang yun pulled a long face and said pitifully, â âthird brother, i really didnât mean it that way. yingluo wanted her future aunt to play with me. iâm not that shameless! i just want to get close to miss shi yan and leave a good impression in front of fifth uncle.â
...
âwhy are you telling me this? I donât care. I think I need to remind you that although we are cousins, our relationship isnât good. if you want to cry and complain, go find someone else, i donât have the time.â
Jiang Yun,âYingluo.â
There was no need to be so direct.
Jiang Bai looked at her sympathetically. you can just say that youâre tired. Letâs go. Letâs go back to the company.
The company was busy, and it was another day of overtime.
âi was going to ask fifth uncle to let the jiang family off, but i didnât dare to say anything after what you did just now.â
upon hearing his words, jiang yun turned serious. â âthen i have to thank you for my actions just now!â
âPlead for mercy? second brother, what are you thinking about? I donât want the Jiang family to continue to be in such a state, but to be honest, I donât have the face to plead with fifth uncle.â
âthe jiang family didnât collapse because of fifth uncleâs suppression. fifth uncle merely sped up the process of the jiang familyâs collapse. At the end of the day, itâs you and me who are not capable enough. You canât blame anyone.â
â weâll do as big as we can with our abilities. weâll hold on for as long as we can. if we canât hold on any longer, weâll have arms, legs, and education. we wonât starve to death. â
watching jiang yuâs back as he walked away, jiang yun said emotionally, â âThird brother is much more thorough than us.â
âBesides, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. No matter how broken the Jiang family is, itâs not to the point where it canât maintain its livelihood. And I donât think Iâm that bad that I canât even protect my family business. At most, Iâll just have to work a little harder.â
jiang bai did not say anything. he felt ashamed for his attempt to plead for mercy just now and also felt that he did not have jiang yunâs confidence.
Even though he felt that Jiang Yun was a newborn calf who was not afraid of Tigers and did not know the cruelty of reality, he did not strike her down.
In the car, Shi Yan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, asked Jiang che, â âmr. jiang, why did you do that just now? the little girl was almost scared to tears by you.â
jiang che turned the steering wheel and looked at her. â âmiss shi, let me remind you that jiang yun is older than you.â
He even called her a little girl.
shi yan laughed. she didnât know how she could call jiang yun â little girl â so naturally. perhaps ran ran had already acknowledged her identity as her fifth aunt?
âdonât change the subject. iâm asking you, why did you do that?â
It was true that fifth Lord Jiang was not easy to talk to, but he was extremely well-mannered and would not embarrass others for no reason. since he had agreed to treat the juniors of the jiang family to a meal, and he had personally attended and finished the meal, it showed that the juniors of the jiang family had some weight in his heart.
shi yan was a little surprised by his sudden behavior.
