Chapter 393
after leaving jiang rui’s courtyard, the two of them went straight to the main building. on the way, shi yan asked, ” “rui ‘er, you just said that you encountered something a few days ago?”
“Yes, I met someone the day before yesterday.”
Meeting Shi Yan’s questioning gaze, Jiang Rui said, ” “he’s from the xuan family in the capital. he said his name is xuan jinrui, my cousin.”
On Thursday afternoon, Jiang Rui had dinner in the cafeteria after school. Instead of going back to the dormitory immediately, she planned to go to the library. On the way, she saw Xuan Jinrui in a wheelchair.
when she saw that xuan jinrui was staring at her, she thought that there was something on her face. just as she was about to take out her phone from her bag to take a look, she was stopped by xuan jinrui.
He had called her by her name directly, so there was no mistake.
In the end, she found out that Xuan Jinrui was looking for her. She sat down at a milk tea bar near the school, drank a cup of milk tea, and said a few words before Xuan Jinrui left.
shi yan had never seen xuan jinrui before, but she knew this person.
He was the eldest son of the Xuan family, Xuan Siyun’s cousin.
Shi Yan naturally didn’t know about this person in the past. The reason why she knew now was that Xuan Jinrui’s return to the Xuan family was more or less related to Jiang che. Jiang che did this so that he could come back and restrain Xuan Siyun.
Shi Yan had only found out about this recently. Amy had sent her an email with a summary of major events in the capital city, and Xuan Jinrui was mentioned in it.
“the young master of house xuan? why did he come to you?”
according to family xuan’s rules, jiang rui had the right to inheritance. Jiang Rui might not have such intentions, but others might not think so.
in the eyes of some people, jiang rui might be their opponent.
it was hard to guarantee that jiang rui would not be targeted.
Thinking about it this way, at Jiang Rui’s family recognition Banquet, Xuan Siyun’s ostentatious appearance and the fact that she didn’t hesitate to usurp the host was somewhat thought-provoking.
In that case, Xuan Siyun’s appearance in Haicheng might not have been entirely for Jiang che?
Otherwise, why did he have to come after Jiang Rui’s identity was exposed?
It wasn’t all because of Jiang che. Could it be understood that Xuan Siyun didn’t care that much about Jiang che?
If that was the case, then this matter alone was worth being happy about.
Jiang Che’s excellence had determined that he would have many admirers, but Shi Yan also had her own selfish motives. She didn’t like it when her people were being targeted by others, and she didn’t like it when others were determined to win her heart.
However, Shi Yan didn’t want to see Xuan Siyun thinking about Jiang Rui and treating her as an opponent.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of Xuan Siyun, but he simply didn’t like people thinking about his friends all the time. As the saying went,”if you don’t film a thief, you’ll be afraid of the thief’s thoughts.”
But now, not only Xuan Siyun, there was also Xuan Jinrui.
She did not know what Xuan Jinrui’s attitude towards Jiang Rui was.
he said that he heard that he had a cousin who couldn’t make it to the family reunion. She came to see me and even asked me to visit the Xuan family when I had time. That’s all. It really looked like she was here to see me.
jiang rui also said that it seemed so.
obviously, she did not believe that xuan jinrui had come to haicheng just to see her. otherwise, she would not have told shi yan about this.
Looking at Shi Yan, Jiang Rui said, ” Yan, let’s not talk about why my cousin came to see me. He’s also a member of the Xuan family. I heard from my brother that he’s the biggest obstacle for Xuan Siyun to inherit the family. In the capital, once you have fifth uncle’s support, anything you do will be twice as effective with half the effort.”
“You’re trying to say that you’re worried that he’s coming to Haicheng to see your cousin, whom you’ve never met before, but in fact, he’s coming for fifth Lord Jiang?”
Jiang Rui nodded.
No wonder Jiang Rui had specifically told her about this.
Shi Yan smiled. don’t worry. The young master of the Xuan family has long been exiled. With Xuan Siyun keeping an eye on him, it should be very difficult for him to return to the capital. But he’s back now.
How did he come back?
naturally, there was someone helping him!
jiang rui came to a sudden realization.
“you mean, xuan jinrui can return to the xuan family because of my fifth uncle, qianqian?”
shi yan didn’t deny it. she just smiled and said,”let’s go. the others should be here by now. let’s hurry over.”
shi yan didn’t mention to jiang rui that she should take care of the people with inheritance rights, especially xuan siyun, because she knew that with jiang rui’s intelligence, she had already thought of this.
even if jiang rui didn’t think of it, jiang sheng must have thought of it. She didn’t need to mention it. If Jiang Rui was in trouble and needed her help, she would just help.
jiang rui jogged to catch up with her. ” as expected of fifth uncle. get xuan jinrui back. then, xuan siyun won’t have so much energy to disturb you. ”
jiang rui had already seen through xuan siyun’s feelings for jiang che when they first met at haicheng university for dinner.
Shi Yan replied with a smile.
The two of them arrived at the main building. As expected, everyone else had arrived, including Jiang che.
he had arrived right after shi yan and jiang rui, as if he had calculated the time. he didn’t go in first, but waited for shi yan at the door.
shi yan smiled and put her hand in his hand that was reaching for her.
“Are you hungry?” Jiang che held her hand tightly.
“It’s okay, I’m not very hungry.”
Jiang Rui greeted him,”fifth uncle,” smiled at Shi Yan, and went in first.
The two of them walked in hand in hand.
He said that it wasn’t a big birthday party and that it would be fine for the family to have a meal together. However, those who were close to Jiang Sheng all knew that today was his birthday, so they naturally had to come to celebrate. So, the three of them came to the restaurant on the second floor of the main building. Except for the Jiang family, almost all the people who were close to Jiang Cheng were there.
“shi yan, rui ‘er,”
song meilian had come with jing xuan.
“Yanyan,” Su mu and Jing Hailan also came over to greet him.
Su mu said to Shi Yan, ” I wanted to find a chance to introduce some friends to you. I was afraid that I would disturb your study, so I didn’t find a chance. Everyone who should be here is here tonight. I’ll take this opportunity to introduce them to you.
in such a circle, most of su mu’s good friends actually knew jiang sheng and jiang rui. shi yan had met almost all of them, and she didn’t introduce su mu to those she had met.
he called out to a young man who was chatting with others not far away, ” “gu yi!”
The man walked over.
“What’s the matter?”
He was about the same age as su mu, and he had a very comfortable temperament. She couldn’t tell exactly what kind of temperament she had, but it made people feel very comfortable when they saw her.
“this is gu yi, a new upstart in haicheng.” Su mu introduced them to Shi Yan with a smile.
“Gu Yi, this is my cousin, Shi Yan. She likes to read.”
gu yi looked at shi yan and smiled. ” i’ve heard from su mu that he has a younger sister. i’ve been looking forward to meeting her. i finally get to see her today. ”
“Hello younger cousin sister, I usually don’t have any other hobbies other than collecting books. If you like to read, you can come to my place and see if there’s anything that you like.”
Shi Yan finally understood why Su mu had introduced Gu Yi to her.
“thank you, i’ll be there when i’m free.”
this was the first time she had seen someone’s expression not change at all when they saw her. there was not even a ripple in their eyes.
that was fine. jiang che was right beside her, but gu yi had not even looked at jiang che since he came. it was as if jiang che was just an ordinary person in his eyes.
this was a little abnormal.
at least, that was what shi yan thought.
With Jiang Che’s appearance and charm, even if he had never said a word, he was definitely not to be ignored in the crowd.
it was not that everyone should pay attention to them. since the three of them went upstairs, the others, including yuxi, who was talking to jiang cheng not far away, all looked at them. only gu yi was an exception, so it was hard not to pay attention to him.
