She Is From The Countryside

376 it was too late to realize

Yanyan is my younger sister, and I know her very well. If she didn’t choose the person herself, even if that person was you, the fifth Lord Jiang, you wouldn’t be able to force her to do something she didn’t want to do.

“The fact that fifth Lord Jiang is not afraid of my younger sister getting hurt shows that I am not being rash in making this decision, right?”

Shi boyu continued,”Yanyan knew what she was doing since she was young. She’s a person with a lot of ideas.” she chose you, which means that you’re the one she’s determined to spend the rest of her life with. this has nothing to do with her age.”

Speaking up to this point, Shi boyu held up the frame of his glasses. Behind his glasses, his long eyelashes drooped, hiding the emotions in his eyes.

my sister is young, but we can’t look at her normally. She’s more experienced than many of her peers, and even more so than us older brothers.

Wasn’t he more transparent than them?

She had realized the things that they had only realized after she had left the house.

she was born in the shi family and was the pearl in the palm of the shi family. she had never been short of food and clothing and had never been short of pocket money. no matter what happened, the elders would stand in front of her. however, she had started to earn money by herself from a young age.

Rather than saying that she was making money, it would be better to say that she had already prepared a way out for herself.

He gave himself confidence so quietly.

After knowing that Yanyan was forced to leave home, didn’t he think about running away from home as well?

He had naturally thought about it.

However, he did not have the confidence. Yes, as a seventeen-year-old brother, he was not as confident as his ten-year-old sister. He was very ashamed.

of course, he could also run away from home without a care like shi bozhen. with his abilities, he could live well even without the shi family.

But he could not.

his parents were at home, so he couldn’t just leave them. he also needed to stay to create a situation where no one could force yanyan.

he had never thought that yanyan would never return to the shi family after leaving home. he only had one thought at that time, and that was to bring yanyan back one day.

it was just that he was still too young at that time, so he never thought about how long this process would take, nor did he think about whether yanyan would still need it when the time came.

Nine years, Yanyan had grown up. She was almost at the age where she could find her other half to run a small family together. after living alone for nine years, she had long gotten used to a life without a family.

at a time like this, her desire for a family was far less than finding someone who could accompany her for the rest of her life and build a family of her own.

Moreover, she had been forced to leave home for nine years without a word. She was afraid that her heart had long turned cold.

A few years ago, when he had become capable, he had wanted to bring Yanyan back. However, whenever that happened, he would always think of waiting for his brother to take over the power of the Shi family. When that happened, Yanyan would not have to suffer any more grievances when she returned to the Shi family.

He always thought that Yanyan was still a child. Although she had been quiet and sensible since she was young, she was still a child after all. With her indifferent personality, she would not become someone else’s.

Until he heard that she was hanging out with Jiang che.

By then, he would know that it was too late.

he couldn’t do anything other than support the person she had chosen, or he would only push her further away. He didn’t think of doing anything. In fact, he was a little relieved and grateful for Jiang Che’s appearance and his sincere feelings for Yanyan.

“even if i don’t believe in fifth lord jiang, i should at least believe in my younger sister’s judgment of people,”

Jiang che didn’t comment.

a waiter brought tea and poured them a cup each.

miss Shi and su chen will probably take a while, ” Jiang che said. third young master Shi, please have a cup of tea first.

this restaurant was quite famous in the city of qing. it was a high-end restaurant, and even the tea was better than ordinary restaurants.

shi boyu took a sip and glanced at jiang che.

He could feel the faint hostility Jiang che had towards him and he knew where it came from.

He wasn’t dissatisfied. On the contrary, he felt more at ease because of Jiang Che’s hostility towards him.

He had never interacted with the Jiang clan’s fifth Lord, and there was no such thing as good or bad relations. The Jiang clan’s fifth Lord was not someone who would be hostile to others for no reason, and he probably disdained to be hostile to anyone.

however, she was hostile to him, just for yanyan.

He didn’t really care about Yanyan, but the great Jiang family’s fifth Lord wasn’t a petty person who would be hostile to others over a small matter.

outside the private room.

Su chen left Shi Yan behind. The two did not stand in the corridor, but went to a balcony on the second floor of the restaurant.

“Yanyan, don’t you have anything to ask me?” Su chen spoke first.

he said in a half-joking tone.

“no,” shi yan said.

his tone was as calm as ever, without the slightest bit of curiosity.

“i knew you’d say that,” su chen said dejectedly.

“look at you, you were so worried that you risked your life to save me, why don’t you say more? Why do you always act like an old man at such a young age? you should be more lively at your age.”

in the past, su chen would not have said such words to shi yan, for fear of accidentally touching a nerve in shi yan and making her recall the sad things in the past.

it was different now. as a person who had met shi yan often for so many years, no one knew better than him that shi yan had changed.

she looked as indifferent as ever, as if she didn’t care about anything, but in fact, that wasn’t the case. She would show concern for him, even if it was not so obvious.

Not only did she care about him, but she also did not forget to help him vent his anger.

Most importantly, when she and Jiang che occasionally looked at each other, there was a gentleness in her eyes that he had never seen before, and the smile in her eyes was even more brilliant.

Her eyes seemed to have Starlight in them, sparkling and lively.

he had never seen such liveliness before.

Although he didn’t want to admit it, it had to be said that Jiang Che’s contribution was undeniable.

“You don’t have anything to ask me, but I have something to tell you,”

“You wouldn’t believe me if I said I can’t remember anything from my childhood, would you?”

Shi Yan smiled and nodded.

“i knew it!”

“since you don’t believe me, why don’t you ask me why i’m pretending to not remember?”

“I’ve never been curious about other people’s Affairs.”

su chen,”hehe.”

“you’re not cute at all.” he glanced at her.

He walked over a little and turned around to lean against the balcony. He placed his elbows on the balcony railing and stood face to face with Shi Yan, who was about a meter away.

he looked a little lazy.

“yu wen wasn’t wrong. i’m indeed his grandfather, xie liu’s biological grandson. he was also indeed brought back by xie liu as my playmate. however, xie liu only brought us back two days ago. before he brought us back, i lived in an orphanage in qing cheng. when i was three, my mother died of illness, and it was a kind neighbor who sent me to the orphanage.”

” the orphanage is well funded and the conditions are not bad. i’ve been smart and obedient since i was a child, so the director and the staff there like me very much. after staying there for a few days, i plan to stay there until i come of age. ”
