She Is From The Countryside

?

316 people from the capital city came one after another

“grandfather.”

on friday, after school, shi bochen returned to his apartment in haicheng and met his grandfather, shi jinlei, the third master of the shi family, downstairs.

He was only 60 years old, but his hair had turned white because he had lost his wife, his son, and his wife.

his body wasn’t considered strong, but he wasn’t hunched either. he was a proud person, and even with a walking stick, he still had a majestic aura.

shi bochen was surprised to see him.

“why are you here?”

while he was asking the old man, shi bochen was looking at the middle-aged man beside him with a questioning and disapproving look.

the middle-aged man’s name was shi guan. he had been by shi jinlei’s side since they were young.

When she met Shi Bochen’s gaze, shi wen shivered slightly.

he sighed once again in his heart. although the four young masters were young, their aura was getting stronger and stronger.

“Fourth young master.” he first greeted him respectfully.

“Don’t blame him. I haven’t been to Sea city for many years, so I wanted to come and see. He can’t stop me if I want to come.” shi jinlei was a dignified old man, but when he faced shi bochen, there was not much of that dignity left.

“you should’ve let me know if you were coming. i’ll pick you up. the journey from the capital to haicheng is long and arduous, please take care of it. ”

“you’re still young, but you’re quite controlling. my body is still fine.”

“I can’t win in an argument against you.”

“grandpa guan, has grandfather eaten?” he asked shi guan.

shi guan was already in his fifties and was of the same generation as shi jinlei. however, he did not look as weathered as shi jinlei.

“Yes, don’t worry, fourth young master.”

shi bochen then helped the old man into the elevator.

In the living room, Shi Bochen poured the old man a glass of water and sat down on the sofa.

Shi Jinlei took a sip of the warm water and asked him in a casual manner, ” “Have you gotten used to living in Haicheng?”

“I’m just doing research in class, there’s nothing to be unaccustomed to.”

Shi Bochen turned on the television, then turned down the volume and changed the channel with the remote control.

Shi Jinlei glanced at the remote control he was holding and then at the television that was on. He said, ” “I remember that you don’t like to watch TV.”

It was true. There were not many children in the Shi family’s generation. Shi Bochen had a big age gap with the others and liked to stick to Shi Yan when he was young.

shi yan had a quiet personality. the most she did was to find a quiet environment to read. unlike other children, she didn’t like to watch tv.

Over time, Shi Bochen, who stuck to her, lost interest in watching television.

“it’s boring to sit here, so i’m just looking around.”

they heard that the variety show that they had recorded while they were traveling would air its first episode tonight, which happened to be the episode they had recorded.

However, it wasn’t even 7:30 yet. The show was going to air at 8:30, so it was still early.

Shi Jinlei’s gaze fell on the invitation card on the coffee table in front of him.

People like them would often receive all kinds of invitations, so it was not surprising that Shi Bochen had received one.

however, when they met downstairs, shi jinlei saw shi bochen holding the invitation in his hand. before seeing his grandfather, shi bochen had been reading the invitation card as he walked. shi jinlei had not seen a pure smile on his face for many years.

at that moment, shi bochen made shi jinlei feel like he was a child.

the last time he had seen shi bochen smile so happily and innocently was nine years ago.

Shi Yan never left home.

“What’s this invitation?”

after a moment of hesitation, shi jinlei finally asked.

shi bochen had just switched the tv to a variety channel and put down the remote control.

he picked up the invitation.

he only held it in his hand and looked at it, not opening it.

“this is the invitation from sister yan.”

upon hearing this, shi jinlei’s heart skipped a beat. ” “an invitation from yanyan? Is she holding a banquet?”

What banquet?

This was the question that Shi Jinlei wanted to ask but tried his best not to.

In Shi Jinlei’s impression, a lively event like holding a banquet had nothing to do with the quiet and indifferent Shi Yan.

however, at this time, not only did shi yan want to hold a banquet, but it was also said that she was together with the fifth lord of the jiang family.

This matter did not spread within the Shi family, but these people had their own ways of gathering information. The matter had blown up so much that it was impossible for Shi Jinlei to not know.

Shi Jinlei still remembered his reaction when he heard his subordinates report that the fifth master of the Jiang family’s girlfriend was Shi Yan.

At that time, he only had one thought in his mind: Absolutely impossible!

after that, he went to verify it again and again to confirm that it was true.

Shi Jinlei could not calm down for a long time.

it was hard to believe.

not to mention what kind of person the fifth master of the jiang family was, based on their understanding of shi yan, it was really difficult to believe that she would care so much about a person that she was willing to be with him!

Many people in the Shi family knew about this, but no one talked about it. They all pretended not to know anything.

But without a doubt, everyone was shocked.

upon seeing shi yan’s invitation, shi jinlei’s subconscious reaction was that the content of the invitation was related to the fifth master of the jiang family!

because in haicheng,

No, it was not just in Haicheng. In Shi Yan’s life where she did not care much about anything, the only person who could make Shi Jinlei think of linking Shi Yan and the banquet, which did not quite match her personality, was her boyfriend, who no one had expected.

Shi Jinlei was worried that it would be an invitation to an engagement party.

If the Shi family had no idea that she had sent out such an invitation, it would mean that she really did not acknowledge them as family anymore!

shi jinlei was already feeling a little fearful because of this, let alone the other members of the shi family.

the old man thought he had hidden his emotions well, but little did he know that shi bochen had seen through them.

Shi Botan wanted to take revenge and let him misunderstand him without saying anything, but when he thought of his grandfather’s rough life, suffering a lot and his poor health, he could not bring himself to do so.

To say that he didn’t blame his grandfather?

He definitely felt resentful.

after all, his grandfather was one of the people who forced his sister away.

however, he had no right to complain. he and his grandfather were the only ones left in the third branch. his grandfather had not had an easy life these years, but he still insisted on living well, just so that he would not be left alone.

Anyone had the right to blame his grandfather, but he did not.

shi bochen subconsciously tightened his grip on the invitation card.

after a few seconds, he released her and said calmly, ” “yes, sister yan is indeed going to hold a banquet.”

“The apprenticeship banquet is this Sunday.”

An apprenticeship banquet?

Shi Jinlei heaved a sigh of relief. However, he soon realized that he seemed to be feeling even worse.

That girl was officially holding an apprenticeship banquet, so the other party must be an elder she respected very much.

the elders of the shi family also enjoyed such treatment.

on the other side, shi yan had promised jiang rui to watch the variety show together.

They returned to the Jiang family’s old house together.

she thought that it wasn’t good to leave jiang che and jiang cheng behind, but it didn’t seem appropriate to go to jiang che’s or jiang cheng’s courtyard. it also didn’t seem appropriate to go to jiang rui’s courtyard with jiang che around. in the end, he ordered his men to tidy up the courtyard where shi yan had lived before and go to the courtyard to take a look.

Shi Yan didn’t live there anymore. It was just an empty courtyard.

it did not belong to anyone’s private territory.

Everything was well planned. Jiang Rui even had people prepare a lot of snacks.

unfortunately, the plan could not keep up with the changes.

when they returned to the old house, they were told that there were guests at the jiang family.

the guests from the jiang family in the capital were personally received by old lady jiang.

the person who needed old lady jiang to receive him personally would not be a junior of the jiang family.

Jiang che and Jiang Cheng’s car had driven directly to the small courtyard where Shi Yan had previously lived. So when they were informed that there were guests from the Jiang family in the capital, the four of them had already sat down in the living room of the small courtyard.

It was the Butler.

He told Jiang che that the Jiang family in the capital had a guest and needed to meet them. Jiang hai was terrified.

“Fifth ... Fifth master, do you want to go over and meet him?”

jiang hai was mainly here to call jiang sheng and jiang rui.

Of course, the other party also mentioned that he wanted to see Shi Yan. However, Jiang hai did not dare to pass on this message.

“who did you just say came?” Jiang che was sitting beside Shi Yan. The TV was already on and he was sitting with his back against the sofa and one arm around Shi Yan.

“in-in reply to fifth lord, it ‘s-it’s the great aunt of the jing family.”

after hesitating for a few seconds, jiang hai bit the bullet and said, ” “The great aunt of the Jiang family also said to let miss Shi Yan go see her.”

jiang che’s expression was still warm and he didn’t look angry, but shi yan could still sense that there was no warmth in his usually deep and gentle eyes.
