She Is From The Countryside



342 meeting an old woman

the results of the examination came out. gu tan’s calf was fractured and his arm was scratched. he needed to be hospitalized for a while.

after receiving the results, jiang lin made the arrangements. shi yan and jiang che left first.

Jiang Lin immediately called someone to take Gu Tan’s bicycle away. Having been by Jiang Che’s side for many years, Jiang Lin was also very cautious in doing things. He had someone check the bicycle.

It was indeed as Gu Tan had said, the brakes were broken.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Li bingfeng had helped her deal with Shi Yan’s application to continue her PhD studies at the Institute, so she didn’t have to go to class every day.

however, shi yan still had to attend professional classes. other than her professional classes, she spent the rest of her time reading, either in the library, in the classroom, or directly in their apartment. the three boxes of books given by professor li were sent directly to the apartment.

when the villa was half-renovated, jiang che took shi yan to see it once and watered the flowers in the courtyard.

there were no compulsory courses in the afternoon. after a half an hour lunch break in the dormitory, shi yan prepared to go to the library to read books as usual.

she was wearing a simple and elegant long dress with a long autumn coat and was carrying the school bag that jiang che had given her.

walking around the campus, she was greeted by the youthful aura.

it was just that she was more beautiful than anyone else, so she would definitely attract people’s attention when she walked on the road.

Qu Xuan was standing on the side of the road, asking passers-by how to get to the Faculty of Arts when she saw Shi Yan walking over from afar.

He was immediately stunned.

she had forgotten to thank the person who had asked for directions.

the person she stopped to ask for directions saw that she was suddenly stunned and was a little puzzled. he curiously followed her line of sight and saw the gentle girl walking over.

She was gentle because her long black hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin. She was dressed like a lady and looked very gentle.

The people who were stopped by qu Xuan were also stunned.

there were maple trees on both sides of the road, and it was the season when the maple leaves were red and falling. the road was not winding and the end could be seen at a glance, so shi yan looked up and saw qu xuan standing not far away.

He paused for a moment and then walked towards qu Xuan.

He was neither fast nor slow.

She was very refined and elegant.

When Shi Yan approached, qu Xuan moved her lips and looked at her in a daze.”Smoke, smoke and mist.”

compared to qu xuan, shi yan was much calmer. she smiled and said,”Second aunt,”

Qu Xuan looked her up and down. Her face was still the same, and the feeling she gave off was still as calm and indifferent as ever, but she was no longer a ten-year-old girl. She had grown into a slender and elegant young girl. As she walked through the campus that was filled with the aura of youth, her appearance and charm made her a part of the scenery.

if she had been ten years old, qu xuan would have been proud to see such an outstanding little girl as her niece.

she was naturally proud now, but she was no longer as calm as she was nine years ago when she faced shi yan and treated her as her beloved niece. she could no longer feel any burden and be proud of shi yan’s excellence.

Looking at Shi Yan now, she was filled with self-blame, guilt, and even a little shame.

As she read on, her eyes turned red and her voice choked up.”long time no see, yanyan. you’ve grown so big.”

“i haven’t seen you for many years. you’re still as elegant as ever, second aunt,” shi yan said with a smile.

She didn’t have any other emotions when she spoke. Her tone was very flat, like a small talk between ordinary old friends.

Qu Xuan felt very uncomfortable hearing this.

although yanyan’s temperament was also very mild when she was young, she was actually not so distant to her elders.

she forced a smile. ” i’m not the same. i’m old. ”

Her hair had been dyed, so it was impossible to tell that it was white. However, there were already some traces of age at the corners of her eyes.

“When you were on a trip, you participated in the recording of a variety show. I saw you on TV, so I couldn’t help but come to see you. Yanyan, you, you will blame second aunt for coming to find you without permission?”

“i won’t,” shi yan said with a smile.

“But, second aunt, you shouldn’t have come. If you come to see me, it’ll be hard for you to explain to the elders in your family.”

she actually said these words so calmly.

Qu Xuan sobbed.

Shi Yan’s sensible behavior and calm demeanor at home made it seem as if the people and matters at home could no longer stir up her emotions.

“I should have come a long time ago. Yanyan, I should have come a long time ago. Yanyan, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have forced you like that. I was wrong. yanyan, second shen is wrong, yingluo.”

Qu Xuan had long been sobbing, but Shi Yan was very calm, her expression unchanged.

It was as if he was an outsider.

mingway, who was holding a basketball, had a complicated look in his eyes.

That’s right, the person qu Xuan stopped to ask for directions was Ming Wei.

“Second aunt’s words are heavy.” Shi Yan said calmly.

“the last time second aunt asked my mother to call, i told second aunt that no one is wrong, but they each have their own stand. let the past be in the past. second aunt, you don’t have to mention it again. i don’t blame anyone.”

“how can you not be angry? You should be angry.”

back then, not only did second aunt force you to leave, but she also blamed you for your second brother’s departure. She called you and said a lot of unpleasant things to you. You should be angry.

“Second older brother ran away from home because of me so it is only right for second Shen to blame me. i failed to persuade second brother to come home, so it’s my fault. second shen doesn’t need to feel guilty.”

the more she said this, the more upset qu xuan felt.

“If second Shen did not have the permission of the elders in the family, it is better to go back as soon as possible. Don’t make things unpleasant with the elders in the family because of me.”

qu xuan sobbed and wiped her tears, saying, ” ” don’t worry. your granduncles and granduncles all know that i’m in haicheng. they, they won’t say anything about me. ”

“It’s US who have let you down. We should have come to apologize to you in person long ago. It’s second aunt’s fault for being timid. I don’t know where you’ve been all these years. I don’t know where to look for you.”

it was impossible that she hadn’t looked for him. even if she hadn’t looked for him in the first few years, she’d become more and more eager to see her son go back and regretted what she’d done in the past. qu xuan had also looked for shi yan.

It was a pity that someone with power in the Shi family had deliberately hidden Shi Yan’s whereabouts, so she could not find anything.

Even su Wan didn’t know where Shi Yan had gone, let alone her. Su Wan had even spent a lot of effort to find Shi Yan’s phone number.

Hearing that qu Xuan had come to Haicheng to look for her, and that all the elders in the second branch knew about it, Shi Yan couldn’t help but be stunned.

He didn’t say much, but just said, ” “second aunt’s words are heavy.”

“you, are you busy now? Are there any teahouses nearby? Second aunt knows that you prefer tea to coffee or milk tea. If you’re not busy, why don’t you go to a teahouse and have a chat? second shen has many things to say to you.” qu xuan looked at her and asked expectantly.

“i still have class later.” shi yan said with a smile.

“Second aunt, if you’re not in a hurry to return to the capital, let’s make an appointment another day.”

Qu Xuan was afraid that she would refuse, but she was very happy to see her.

“good!” he was pleasantly surprised. then let’s make an appointment another day! Do you have second aunt’s phone number?”

Without waiting for Shi Yan’s reply, he immediately said, ” ” it’s okay if you don’t. i was there when your mother called you last time and saved your phone number. i’ll send you my number later. ”

“alright,” he said.

looking at qu xuan, whose eyes were red from crying, shi yan hesitated and said, ” I’ll call second brother and tell him that second aunt is coming to Haicheng. However, second brother has just joined the production team for a new drama, so I’m afraid he won’t have the time.

She had taken the initiative to contact Shi boxiang, which was a pleasant surprise to qu Xuan.

She was so overjoyed that her tears fell even harder.

“good, good! Thank you, Yanyan. You can just contact him. I, I won’t force him to come and see me. ”

“yanyan, thank you so much! you didn’t blame me for what i did to you back then, and you were even willing to help me meet your second brother. compared to you, second shen is really ashamed.”

Wiping her tears away, qu Xuan smiled at Shi Yan and said, ” “If you have a class, go quickly. Don’t be late. i’ll be staying in haicheng for a while, so i’m not in a hurry to go back. you … you can contact me again when you’re free. there’s no rush, there’s no rush.”

as he spoke, he waved at her and turned to leave as if he was afraid that he would not be able to control his tears if he stayed any longer.

After she left, Mingwei looked at Shi Yan and hesitantly asked, ” “Junior Shi Yan, are you alright?”

It was reasonable to say that he shouldn’t be standing here and listening so much. It was really about the first girl he had fallen for, and it didn’t seem to be a trivial matter. He couldn’t control his curiosity and was a little worried about Shi Yan, so he had lost his etiquette and stayed here.

“i’m fine. thank you for your concern, senior.”

shi yan said, smiling and nodding at mingwei.”i’ll be leaving first.”

She did look fine, but was she really fine?

from the conversation between her and her second aunt, he could roughly tell that she had a conflict with her family many years ago and had not returned home for many years. as for where she lived, even her second aunt could not find out.

this was not a small matter.

But he wasn’t that close to her, so he didn’t ask too much. He could only say, ” “junior, if you have class, go first. don’t be late.”

She watched Shi Yan walk away worriedly.

He didn’t go to the classroom, but to the library.

Mingwei was even more certain that the matter was not small.

shi yan had just rejected her second aunt’s invitation on the grounds that she had classes in the afternoon.

In fact, Shi Yan, who had walked far away, couldn’t even go to the library.

He was stopped at the bottom of the library.

“You’re Shi Yan?”

Shi Yan looked up and saw an old woman in her 70s or 80s. She was supported by a woman in her 40s.

The old woman had a mean appearance and was not kind.

“May I know what’s the matter?” Shi Yan asked indifferently, her expression unchanged.
