She Is From The Countryside



335 his coldness inside

Of course, Shi Jinlei knew who Jiang che was.

He was the youngest and most capable head of the Jiang family in history. Among the younger generation of the capital, only Xie Heng of the Xie family could compare to him.

however, he was different from xie heng.

Xie Heng’s coldness was on the surface, while Jiang Che’s coldness was on the inside.

if he just stood there and looked at you with a calm gaze, you would feel a sense of oppression for no reason.

shi jinlei looked at jiang che, then at shi yan, and his gaze finally landed on their hands that were holding each other’s hands.

it was shi yan holding jiang che’s hand.

“fifth lord jiang,” Shi Jinlei spoke.

Even though Shi Jinlei was the third old master of the Shi family and was one generation older than Jiang che, Shi Jinlei still had to address Jiang che as fifth Lord Jiang in front of him.

the name “fifth lord jiang” was not only a form of address, but also a symbol of status.

if not for his relationship with shi yan, shi jinlei would have felt apprehensive even when he stood in front of jiang che.

a person who had no desires and did not yearn for power was not scary. a person who had no desires and did not yearn for power and had extraordinary abilities and was not bound by any shackles was the scariest.

The Jiang family’s fifth master was someone who didn’t even give face to his biological parents.

“Old master Shi San,” Jiang che nodded lightly.

“in haicheng, i’ll have to trouble fifth lord jiang to take care of yanyan.”

“Third old master is too polite. Miss Shi is my girlfriend, and it’s my duty to take care of her. today is miss shi’s apprenticeship banquet. professor li has taken care of miss shi a lot over the years and is an elder whom miss shi respects. since third old master is here, why don’t you go in and meet professor li?”

that’s right, jiang che did it on purpose.

he had deliberately mentioned that professor li was an elder whom shi yan respected and that professor li had taken care of shi yan over the years. This was to let Shi Yan’s real family know that the girl they had abandoned had other elders to take care of her. Shi Yan respected professor li as her elder, but she was cold and distant to her real family members.

as expected, shi jinlei’s expression changed slightly when he heard jiang che’s words, and he felt bitter in his heart.

Logically speaking, he should have gone in to take a look since they had repeatedly invited him, but Shi Jinlei still did not.

he didn’t know if he was afraid that he would affect shi yan’s mood if he stayed, or if he was afraid that shi yan would treat an outsider as her elder but keep a distance from him, a real relative and elder, as if he were a stranger.

“if there’s a chance, i’ll invite professor li to dinner to thank him for taking care of yanyan. i won’t be going in today.”

shi bochen gestured for him to help him up and walked toward shi yan.

“Yanyan, this is a gift from third Grandpa to congratulate you on finding a good teacher.” I prepared it in a hurry, so the gift is a little casual. Please don’t mind it. ”

it was true that they had prepared it in a hurry, but the gift was not casual.

when he saw shi bochen’s invitation on friday night and learned that shi yan was going to hold an apprenticeship banquet, he had asked someone to pick a heavy piece from his collection and immediately sent it over from the capital.

Shi Yan glanced at the gift he handed over. She paused and raised her hand to take it. She smiled emotionlessly and said,”Thank you, third Grandpa.”

“i’ve delivered the gift, so i’ll take my leave first. please apologize to your teacher for me. i’ll invite him to dinner another day when i’m free.”

After he finished speaking, he used his walking stick to leave. Shi Bochen was really worried, so he pursed his lips and glanced at Shi Yan, then said,”grandfather, i’ll send you off.”

“no need, your grandpa guan will come to pick me up. stay here with your sister.”

shi jinlei walked away, and his back seemed to have aged a little.

shi bochen’s eyes welled up with tears.

Shi Yan’s gaze followed Shi Jinlei’s back.

there was no emotion in his eyes, but his mind had already drifted back to nine years ago.

when she was told about the marriage alliance with the xie family, her third grandfather was indeed in the main hall. however, his third grandfather had a bad experience in his early years. he had lost his wife and son and was mentally and physically exhausted. other than nurturing shi bochen, he didn’t care much about other matters.

third grandfather only voted in favor of the marriage proposal when his grandfather proposed it and did not say anything else. third grandpa was not one of those people who said that she had to pay the price for enjoying the convenience brought by the shi family.

When she said she didn’t blame him, it was true.

however, it was impossible for her to face him with the same attitude as before.

She knew that she couldn’t do it. even though she understood that they were only on different sides, they were optimistic about the marriage with the xie family for her own good.

seeing that the old man was helped into the car, shi yan retracted her gaze.

she smiled at shi bochen and shi boyue and said, ” “Let’s go in.”

a gust of wind blew, and it was slightly cold.

Jiang che took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders. He took the gift box from her hands and led her into the Jade Restaurant.

Shi Boxun and Shi Bochen were a few steps behind.

Shi Bozhen looked at Shi Bochen and said in disagreement, ” “you shouldn’t have brought your grandfather here.”

“Second brother, the third branch of the family owes sister Yan An apology. Grandfather has the intention to apologize to sister Yan. Even if I stop him from coming, he will find a chance to see sister Yan.” Shi Bochen said with a bitter smile.

Shi Bozhen suddenly fell silent.

The second branch of the family should be the one to apologize to Yanyan. Back then, they were the ones who forced Yanyan the most.

third grandpa was able to personally come to yanyan to apologize. his parents and grandparents had always wanted to save face, so it would be difficult for them to do so.

However, he was not in a hurry. As long as he did not go back, he would be able to wait for the day they came to apologize.

he had already waited for nine years, so he didn’t mind waiting a little longer.

“let’s go in.” shi bozhen said.

just as she was about to enter, she was stopped by someone.”Best Actor qu.”

a person dressed in a suit and wearing sunglasses was walking over with a handbag and an invitation.

She took off her sunglasses and looked charming without a smile.

It was ju Yanya.

“movie queen ju.”

his gaze fell on the invitation in ju yanya’s hand, and he was a little surprised. then, she remembered that shi yan and ju yanya knew each other and felt relieved.

movie queen ju’s schedule should be very full. She still took time out of her busy schedule to attend my sister’s apprenticeship banquet. I would like to thank you here.

Ju Yanya smiled. you’re too kind. I’m friends with sister Yan. It’s only natural for me to come to her party. besides, i’m not as busy as movie king qu made me out to be, and i don’t have many jobs to do recently.”

she did not have many jobs, not because she did not have any, but because she was unwilling to take them on.

she had entered the entertainment industry for shi bozhen, and it wasn’t easy for her to get closer to him recently. of course, she had to push back all the schedules that she could, trying to find time to meet him.

she had come to shi yan’s banquet to support her, but she had also come for qu boye.

shi bozhen didn’t know that ju yanya was here for him, but he was also a top celebrity in the industry, so he knew very well that ju yanya’s excuse of not being busy was just a casual courtesy. he knew that she was taking time out of her busy schedule to come for shi yan.

he had a better impression of her.

“Movie queen ju, please.”

logically speaking, since shi boxun was standing with shi yan just a moment ago, the bodyguards at the door would let them in without having to show their invitation. however, shi boxun still handed his invitation over.

The bodyguard hesitated for a moment but still took their invitation cards. After a routine inspection, he returned the invitation cards to them and the two of them entered.

After they had entered the Jade eatery, the rear window of a car parked not far away slowly rolled down, revealing a handsome and cold face.

it was xie heng.

he just happened to pass by and saw shi yan, jiang che, the shi family, and even the third master of the shi family standing there, so he asked xie yu to stop the car.

she was about to leave, but she rolled down the window because she felt a little stuffy in the car and wanted to get some fresh air. he didn’t expect that when he rolled down the window, he would be seen by the person in the driver’s seat of a car not far away.

Xie Heng was sharp and his eyes met the other person’s.
