    Chapter 63: master and miss


    Trantor: 549690339


    “however, i can’t tell you for the time being,” he said.


    Seeing the suspicion in Shi Yan’s eyes, Jiang Cheng said,”Although I am not a good person, I will not let my own sister suffer outside. I have my own reasons for not bringing her back. don’t worry, miss shi, i won’t let anyone bully rui ‘er.”


    “It’s good that young master Jiang knows what he’s doing,”


    shi yan held her teacup and took a sip of tea. her posture was upright, and there seemed to be an intimidating aura exuding from her gentle and square demeanor. I rarely protect anyone. Once I decide to protect someone, no one can hurt him.


    jiang cheng looked at her and his eyes narrowed slightly.


    Was she warning him?


    an orphan girl from the countryside?


    Sure enough, Shi Yan wasn’t as simple as she seemed on the surface. She even had the capital to look down on him, the head of the Jiang family in Haicheng.


    rui ‘er had been worried that she would get into trouble because of her involvement with fifth uncle. now it seemed that shi yan might not care about these troubles.


    It was rare for grandmother to befriend a junior, but this befriended a powerful figure.


    Although he was warned, Jiang Cheng wasn’t angry.


    After so many days, he had more or less figured out Shi Yan’s personality. She didn’t even care much about her own affairs, let alone other people’s Affairs.


    The fact that she was so concerned about Rui ‘er’s matter showed that she was protecting Rui’ er as a friend from the bottom of her heart. There was nothing wrong with having one more person protecting Rui ‘er.


    “i’m very happy for rui ‘er to have a friend like miss shi who treats her so sincerely.”


    shi yan smiled faintly. the intimidating aura she had just now seemed to be jiang cheng’s illusion.


    She said, ” the tea is delicious. Thank you for your hospitality, young master Jiang. It’s gettingte. I should go back.


    he stood up and said, ” young master jiang, you should tell her about rui ‘er’s background as soon as possible. i’m afraid we can’t hide it for long. instead of letting her know about it from others, it’s better for you to tell her yourself. ”


    a smart person would stop when there was a point.


    Jiang Cheng looked at her with aplicated expression. He was a little surprised that she could tell that this matter couldn’t be hidden for long.


    “Thank you for your reminder, miss Shi. I’ll find an opportunity to inform Rui ‘er,” he said after a while.


    shi yan nodded to show her respect and left jiang rui’s courtyard.


    *


    the next day, the weather was good. after two days of gray rain, the sky finally cleared up.


    shi yan finished a simple morning exercise, washed up, and had breakfast. it was rare that she didn’t read a book. she went upstairs to pick her clothes and began to dress up.


    yes, she was carefully dressing up.


    At eight in the morning, she received a message from Jiang che, saying that they would be leaving for the bookstore at ten to buy books and that he would pick her up at ten.


    shi yan didn’t like to make people wait. now that she was going out with jiang che, she wouldn’t let him wait.


    she went downstairs at 9:50.


    Since she did not see Xiao Zhao, she must have gone to work. Shi Yan left a note on the coffee table and said that she would not be back for lunch at noon. She told Xiao Zhao not to prepare anything and went out.


    She left the house a few minutes earlier. As soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, she saw a familiar car waiting there.


    It seemed like he had been waiting here for quite some time.


    The door of the driver’s seat opened, and a person got out.


    it was jiang che!


    he’s driving?


    jiang che was still dressed in the same white shirt and ck suit pants, but every time shi yan saw him, her heart couldn’t help but race.


    it was clearly still the same person, still with that familiar gentle temperament.


    However, she had to admit that this outfit suited him very well.


    jiang che saw shi yan standing at the entrance of the courtyard and stopped in his tracks.


    she was dressed in a long floral dress today. it was a white dress with small ck flowers. her long ck hair was tied into two loose braids with a hairband of the same color as the dress. it hung down from her shoulders to her front, making her look even more elegant and gentle.


    She was only carrying a small white nted bag on her back.


    she had light makeup on.


    standing under the warm morning sun at the end of summer, she was like a lotus emerging from the water, fresh and unordinary.


    “Mr. Jiang, have you been waiting for a long time?” she asked with a faint smile as she walked towards him.


    “no, i just arrived.”


    He turned around and opened the door of the front passenger seat. The gentleman held the door. “miss shi, please get in the car.”


    “Thank you,” he said.


    Shi Yan got into the car. Jiang che helped her close the door and then walked to the driver’s seat.


    She did not ask why Jiang Lin did not follow her today. It was more to Shi Yan’s liking if the two of them went out alone.


    jiang che fastened his seat belt and put his left hand on the steering wheel with a white jade ring on his thumb. it looked very pleasing to the eye and even shi yan was a little dazed.


    after a slight pause, jiang che looked at her with a normal expression and reminded her, ” “miss shi, buckle up.”


    Shi Yan didn’t lose her self-control and was embarrassed about being caught in the act of being a love-struck fool. She smiled faintly.”Thank you,” he said. He fastened his seat belt.


    The car started and drove away.


    two heads peeked out from the door of the olddy’s courtyard next door.


    “Ah Wan, that was Laowu, right?”


    “It’s Lord fifth,”


    “Fifth brother is going out on his own? he wasn’t in a wheelchair just now, was he?”


    “That’s right. Lord fifth even drove himself.”


    “so, he went out with yan?”


    “yes, old madam.”


    it was olddy jiang and aunt wan, who were hiding behind the door and peeking their heads out.


    the olddy jumped out from behind the door in surprise. ” “It was the right choice to ask Yan for help!”


    Aunt Wan smiled. Indeed.


    “are they on a date?” the olddy asked.


    Aunt Wan shook her head. I’m not sure, but the two of them shouldn’t have reached that stage yet. You should have heard it just now. They are still very distant from each other.


    Miss Shi and Mr. Jiang were indeed unfamiliar with each other.


    “take it slow, there’s no rush.” the olddy sighed. To be able to see fifth brother take the initiative to go out is already a pleasant surprise. It has been three years, and he wished he could lock himself in the courtyard and not leave the house at all.”


    it’s not that exaggerated. Lord fifth would go out asionally.


    “What’s the difference between him going out and not going out? he didn’t even show it when he was in the car!”


    Aunt Wan was silent.


    in the entire jiang family of haicheng, only the olddy dared to say such things to the fifth lord. However, knowing that fifth Lord did not like others to disturb his peace, even the olddy did not dare to disturb him.


    “at the moment, it seems to be developing in a good direction. old madam, you should rx.”


    “we can barely rx about fifth brother, but xiaoyan is so embarrassed.”


    The olddy sighed. forget it. They’re all children who have their own ns. I believe they know what they’re doing.


    it’s good that you can think this way. The children and grandchildren will have their own fortune. Besides, even if you didn’t look for miss Shi Yan, she might have something to do with fifth Lord. You only looked for her because you heard that fifth Lord treated miss Shi Yan differently. Don’t think that you were the one who facilitated the rtionship between miss Shi Yan and fifth Lord.


    “Although it is said like this Zhenzhen”


    “ai, don’t worry. miss shi yan has always been indifferent. have you ever seen her smile so sincerely? it’s only in front of lord fifth that we can see that miss shi yan is a little lively like a neen-year-old girl. it’s obvious that miss shi yan is happy to be with lord fifth. let’s not be an old-fashioned old man who does bad things.”


    the olddy red at her angrily,”what old-fashioned old man?” what are you saying! do you think i don’t want to see them get along well? if it wasn’t for the trouble behindowu, i’d be happy for them to get married on the spot!”


    “Your words are a little out of fashion,” aunt Wanughed.


    “That’s right. We’re old, but we still have to keep up with the times.”


    as she wasughing, aunt wan suddenly eximed,”old madam, do you think that the personing out of eldest young miss’s courtyard is eldest young master? it’s already sote, hasn’t master gone to thepany yet?”


    “I heard that Rui ‘er drank a lotst night. Do you know how much ah Sheng dotes on his sister Rui’ er? He must have taken care of Rui ‘er for the entire night before he could leave.”


    aunt wan looked at jiang cheng, who was gradually walking away, and hesitated for a while before saying, ” “Old Madam, I know I’m being a bit talkative, but I still want to mention Yingluo.”


    olddy jiang looked at her.


    Aunt Wan continued,”although it’s a good thing for siblings to have a good rtionship, and everyone hopes for siblings to live in harmony, isn’t the rtionship between master and miss a little too good?” Eldest young master is already twenty-four years old this year, eldest young miss is also a neen-year-old adultdy.”


    “Do you think I can’t see through the things that you can?” the olddy sighed.


    “Then why didn’t you say something?”


    “Why don’t I do something? how? rui ‘er was raised by ah sheng himself, how could i stop them from meeting? Don’t worry, I know my grandson well. Sheng knows what he’s doing, so let’s not be bad people.”


    Looking at the olddy’s wise eyes, aunt Wan suddenly fell silent.


    That’s right, the olddy had been shrewd all her life, and there was no reason for her to be muddled in her old age.


    the olddy’s heart was clear.


    “don’t say such things again in the future. ah wan, ah sheng and rui ‘er are on our side, those who might attack them are outsiders. as long as they’re not stupid, they won’t help outsiders attack their own.”


    Although she was still a little worried, aunt Wan didn’t say anything more after hearing old Mrs. Han’s words. She had been by old Mrs. Han’s side for many years. In her heart, old Mrs. Han had always been omnipotent. Since old Mrs. Han was not worried, she must have had a solution long ago.


    “but, olddy, didn’t you want to matchmake master and miss shi yan?”


    “i’m just testing sheng. he’s been treating an outstanding girl like yan the same way. i don’t think he’ll like any other girl in the future.” the olddy smiled. sheng is my grandson and rui ‘er is my granddaughter. i’ll protect both of them.”


    aunt wan,”yingluo.”


    As expected, the olddy was the smartest.


    “you said you’re going for a walk, are you still going?”


    “Of course we’re going. The sky has finally cleared up after two days of gloominess. It’s refreshing to take a walk like this. By the way, Rui ‘er and Yan are going to start school soon, right?”


    “Yes, two more days.”


    “By then, they’ll have to live in the school, and I’ll be bored alone at home. When they start school, call my eldest daughter-inw back to stay with me for a few days.”


    First Madam?


    “Alright,” he said.


    “Keep an eye on the people below, don’t spread any rumors.”


    Aunt Wan didn’t know if the olddy was referring to Jiang Cheng and Jiang Rui’s matter, Jiang che and Shi Yan’s matter, or both. She didn’t ask in detail, but she knew in her heart how to instruct her subordinates.


    It’s best not to spread anything.


    “Don’t worry, I’ll get Jiang hai to keep an eye on it.”


    Jiang hai and aunt Wan were husband and wife, but aunt Wan’s body wasn’t suitable for giving birth, so the two didn’t have any children in their lives. in their eyes, the younger generation of the jiang family were like their own children. otherwise, aunt wan, who had lived in the old house for her whole life, would not have said those inappropriate words just now.


    After all, living in such an environment, the less one talked and the less one saw, the longer one could live.
