She Is From The Countryside



409 his heart ached for her

A second later, Jiang che turned to Shi Lin. “Master Shi, are you here in Haicheng for miss Shi?”

shi lin didn’t answer him directly but said, ” the head of the Shi family is my eldest son. I’m no longer the head of the Shi family. Since you’re calling my wife Auntie, you can call me uncle.

jiang che’s gaze lingered on his face for a few seconds before he said, ” “In that case, uncle, you don’t have to address me as ‘fifth Lord Jiang’ anymore. You can just call me by my name.”

“Yes.” shi lin took a sip of tea.

“I did come to Haicheng for Yanyan,” he said with some unclear emotions.

“then, when does uncle plan to see yanyan?”

Shi Lin didn’t answer immediately. After hesitating for a while, he asked,”When do you think I should go and see her?”

his expression didn’t change much, but jiang che’s sharp eyes could still see the difference. The feeling he gave Jiang che was that he wanted to see Shi Yan, but he did not dare to.

wanwan hesitated, which was why she asked jiang che when it would be appropriate for him to meet shi yan. jiang che was now the closest person to shi yan.

even shi lin, shi yan’s biological father, had to admit this.

“uncle, you shouldn’t be asking me about this.”

jiang che looked over with his calm eyes,’she won’t ignore anyone who comes to see miss shi. the shi family was her family, and she had never denied this. uncle, if you don’t believe me, you can ask the other members of the shi family who have seen miss shi before. no matter who they are, didn’t miss shi welcome them with a smile?”

even shi lin knew that jiang che addressed su wan as ‘auntie’. how could he not know about this?

When her daughter was forced to leave home, she was only ten years old. When she questioned everyone, she always had a smile on her face. Now, she would naturally not give anyone a cold face. However, he would rather that his daughter was cold to them. That way, at least it would show that his daughter cared about them.

of course he wanted to see his daughter, but how? what face did he have to meet her?

His daughter was also a ruthless person. She had left for so many years without even calling home once. Once she had made up her mind, she would not lower her head. It was unknown who she had inherited this stubborn temper from.

if they didn’t come to find her, was she going to stay like this for the rest of her life and not contact them? She didn’t want her family or relatives?

“miss shi is done with school. i’ll go pick her up. If uncle doesn’t have anything else, I’ll be taking my leave.” he raised his teacup to shi lin and drank it in one gulp before standing up.

“Uncle is miss Shi’s father. I think you should be aware of miss Shi’s personality. She always likes to keep everything to herself. Uncle, if you’ve decided on a time to meet her, I hope you can send me a message in advance.”

after saying that, he left the pavilion.

shi lin also didn’t keep anyone.

in the private room where he was the only one left, he drank cup after cup of tea like wine.

The first time they met, he, as a father, was much weaker in front of the person who had kidnapped his daughter. He did not have the aura of a father-in-law at all. He was even taught the opposite way by the other party.

he was probably the only one in the world who had failed as a father.

shi yan and the others had just sat down in the dining room and the dishes they ordered were only served halfway when jiang che arrived.

Shi Yan was a little surprised to see Jiang che. She stood up from her chair and said in surprise, ” “What are you doing here? didn’t you say you were busy?”

jiang che walked into the room and nodded politely to the others. ” “Sorry for the disturbance.”

she then turned to shi yan, her eyes filled with a gentleness that shi yan was familiar with. ” i’m done with my business and found out that you’re having dinner with your friends here. i haven’t eaten yet, so i came over. do you mind if i join you? ”

even if she had not eaten after she was done with her work, jiang che was not the kind of person who would join a meal that someone else had arranged, even if they were in the same restaurant.

according to his usual style, he would open another private room to eat by himself and call her after he was done eating to leave with her. Taking a step back, even if he wanted to come, he would have called in advance and not come directly.

there was something wrong with him.

What happened?

Shi Yan had her suspicions, but she did not voice them out, nor did she show them on her face. She only smiled at Shi Bochen. Bo Chen, you’re the host. Do you mind if I bring one more person? ”

Why did it sound like sister Yan and Jiang che were on the same side, and he was the outsider?

Shi Bochen felt a little sour.

“Of course not!”

“fifth lord jiang, please take a seat,” he looked at jiang che.

“Many thanks.”

She walked over and sat down beside Shi Yan.

After he sat down, Shi Yan looked at him worriedly, but she didn’t say anything.

the meal ended smoothly.

After dinner, Shi Bochen and the others returned to school. Shi Yan and Jiang che held hands and strolled on the road, heading in the direction of the apartment.

“Mr. Jiang, did things not go well?”

in reality, she only knew that jiang che had something to deal with, but she didn’t know what it was.

they had never liked to ask about each other’s business.

“No.”

“i just want to see miss shi,” he said with a smile.

As he spoke, he pulled her into his arms and leaned forward to hug her.

with miss shi’s intelligence, how could she not tell that he had something on his mind when he suddenly came to join their dinner?

He did have something on his mind, but he couldn’t tell what it was. he just wanted to see her so badly that he didn’t want to waste a single moment.

her family was different from his family. her family really loved her, but they clearly loved her. why did things end up like this?

Between him and miss Shi, one of them could clearly grow up being pampered and carefreely.

For a moment, he even felt that he was luckier than miss Shi.

his parents had not been good to him from the beginning to the end, so he did not have to worry so much about his actions and would not be easily affected. The Shi family was different. If one said that they did not treat miss Shi well, their pampering of miss Shi was real. If one said that they were good to miss Shi, they even forced a ten-year-old girl to run away from home.

in the end, miss shi was neither close nor distant to them. she was in a dilemma and even wanted to take responsibility for it.

his heart ached at the thought that she would recall the past every time she saw a member of the shi family and repeatedly jabbed at her scars. If he could, he really wanted to stop her. He didn’t want her to be tortured again and again.

Yet, he could not stop her from meeting the Shi family.

This was a sore spot in her heart. If she didn’t solve it, it would continue to pester her.

being held in jiang che’s arms and hearing him say that he wanted to see her, shi yan was even more certain that something was wrong with him.

she hugged him back and said with a smile, ” ” we just met this morning. it’s not even been a day. mr. jiang, you’re really clingy. ”

what had disturbed his mood? since he didn’t want to say, she wouldn’t ask. she would just accompany him quietly.

jiang che suddenly laughed and tightened his grip on her. “Yeah, I’m very clingy.”

after hugging her for a while, he slowly let go of her and wrapped his arms around her waist. he looked down at her with a smile in his eyes.”miss shi, didn’t we say that we’re going to the hot spring together? Do you want to go?”
