She Is From The Countryside



498 No absolute nor leeway

“is there something?” su mu, who had been joking around just a second ago, looked cold and serious the moment he saw the incoming call notification.

jiang rui must have gone to call home. jiang sheng followed, leaving only shi yan, su mu, and jing hailan in the kitchen.

Su mu answered the phone directly in the kitchen. Shi Yan and Jing Hailan saw the change in su MU’s expression when he answered the call. They didn’t know if he had no intention of avoiding them or if he had forgotten about it.

She didn’t make a sound to disturb him.

he cleaned up the kitchen and watched quietly.

The call was from Gu Yi. The Gu family was a big family after all, and they received the news very quickly when something happened to the head of the family.

“su mu, i heard that you’re with the young lady of the shi family now?”

“If you have something to say, say it.”

his cold and impatient attitude made gu yishen let out a sigh of relief, ” “then i won’t beat around the bush. i’ve just received news that the head of the gu family is in the hands of the fifth master jiang. I don’t know what kind of dispute there is between master Gu, fifth master Jiang, and miss Shi, and it’s not something I can get involved in. I just called you to tell you something.”

“other than having the same surname and the gu family funding me once, i have no other connection with the gu family. the gu family is related to me, and the people i owe a debt of gratitude to have always been master gu’s parents.”

su mu didn’t say anything, but he frowned slightly. he was already very impatient, but he didn’t interrupt gu yi.

” but master gu’s parents have long passed away. you should have heard of this. ”

“When Mr. And Mrs. Gu passed away, the head of the Gu family was only fifteen years old. at that time, he was still a child, and there were people who wanted his life everywhere. it could be said that he could not even take care of himself, but he still remembered to ask me to take care of the yu family as much as possible while i was in sea city.”

“yes, you did not hear wrongly. the reason why i am so concerned about the yu family is because i was entrusted by a fifteen-year-old child.”

su mu’s expression didn’t change, and his face remained cold. ” “You’re telling me this because you want me to remember his kindness and plead with fifth Lord Jiang and Yanyan for him? the gu family’s kindness, ha!”

“Of course not!” Gu Yi quickly said.

“for fifth master jiang and miss shi to detain him at all costs, it’s clear that the gu family head has indeed done something to anger them. this is not something i can interfere with, and i don’t know much about the gu family head. I owe his parents a debt of gratitude. I should make this call. as for what you’ll do after hearing my words, that’s your freedom. i’m in no position to ask you to do anything.”

su mu’s expression was still dark after he hung up the phone. jing hailan nudged shi yan with his elbow, as if he wanted shi yan to ask about the situation first.

Shi Yan looked at her and then at su mu. She could roughly guess the contents of the phone call, but she still asked, ” “Cousin, did something happen?”

Only then did su mu come back to his senses. it’s nothing urgent. It’s just that some people who are related to the Gu family called me after they found out about Gu Yu.

Without waiting for Shi Yan to express her opinion, su mu said,”now that the person is in fifth lord jiang’s hands, you don’t need to care about whoever pleads for mercy. fifth lord jiang will deal with them as he sees fit.”

He sounded as if he was afraid that she would soften her heart and let go of Gu mo if she heard someone else’s plea.

Shi Yan felt that su mu still didn’t know her well.

“yes, i know,” he said with a helpless smile.

For a person who had pointed a gun at her friend’s head, she had to consider many things if she didn’t take the other party’s life directly. How could she be soft-hearted and let him go?

it’s good that you know. Let’s go out and play. I’ll clean up here with your sister Hailan.

it was impossible to play, but it was necessary to go out first.

for one, su mu obviously had something on his mind. jing hailan was his girlfriend, and he would prefer to be alone with jing hailan. Secondly, Jiang che had just taken a call from the seventh master of the Gu family, Gu Zi. She wanted to know what Gu Zi had said.

When she went out, Jiang che had already finished his call. Seeing her come out, he walked towards her and helped her adjust her clothes.”It’s cold outside. Why did you come out?”

“It’s fine. It’s not very cold. are you done with the phone call?”

“yes.”

“What did he say?”

“let’s talk inside.”

he led her into the house.

jiang rui and jiang sheng were probably on the phone in their room. since there was no one in the living room, they went in.

The electric stove on the table in the living room was on. After sitting down, Jiang che took Shi Yan’s hand and placed it on his lap to help her cover her hand under the heat of the electric stove.

the Gu family is not an ordinary family. Gu Yi is the head of the Gu family. It’s not realistic to let him stay.

“i know,” shi yan nodded.

She had no intention of really leaving Gu Yu alive. It wasn’t that she was afraid of the Gu family, but if she really did that, there would be no end to it. She and Jiang che could forget about living a peaceful life.

Gu mo was the head of the Gu family. Even if there were not many people in the Gu family who really cared about his life and death, they could not really ignore it for the sake of face.

Since the beginning, this kind of large family with a deep foundation valued face the most.

furthermore, there was also gu qingqing.

She wasn’t sure what Gu Qingqing’s relationship with the Gu family was, but she was sure that Gu Qingqing was definitely related to the Gu family. if the head of the gu family was in trouble, gu qingqing would not turn a blind eye to it, as long as she still cared about her relationship with the gu family.

once gu qingqing opened her mouth, she would have to give her face no matter what.

for someone who was very likely to become her sister-in-law, giving her face was equivalent to giving face to her brother. He couldn’t just ignore his own brother’s face.

“but you don’t have to worry. it won’t be easy for the gu family to get her back.”

jiang che roughly explained gu zi’s call to shi yan. the general idea was that gu zi wanted to take her back and let jiang che state his conditions.

with the initiative in jiang che’s hands, he naturally had to make the gu family bleed.

The Gu family’s vitality had been greatly damaged by fifth master Jiang’s attack, and it would probably take at least ten years to recover.

jiang che’s explanation to gu zi was that he would return gu yu in a month’s time. before that, he didn’t want anyone related to the gu family to disturb him. otherwise, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t cancel all the conditions they had agreed on.

as for what gu yu would look like when he was returned a month later, jiang che did not guarantee anything. he only said that he would keep him alive.

In this way, it would be even more difficult for the Gu family to recover.

shi yan did receive a call from gu qingqing, but it was a few days later. jiang rui, su mu, and the others had all returned to haicheng.

it was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, two days away from the new year.

shi yan and jiang che had gone to the county town to buy new year’s goods. they had just finished packing and were about to prepare dinner when they received a call.

after a simple opening, gu qingqing smiled and said, ” “Yanyan, you should have guessed the reason for my call, right?”

“i can roughly guess.”

“but i don’t think you can guess it all.”

gu qingqing’s tone was so light that shi yan had never heard it before. Shi Yan could clearly feel the joy in her voice, even through the phone.

“Really?” Shi Yan raised her eyebrows.

” after you left haicheng during winter break, a lot of things happened here. ”

since she had already mentioned it, she must have wanted to tell her.

shi yan had no reason not to listen.

“i’d like to hear the details.”
