She Is From The Countryside - Chapter 234
234 The eye-catching red dress
“I do. Yanyan is my younger sister.”
At the same time as su mu spoke, Shi Yan also smiled back at Jiang Rui.”He’s my cousin.”
the members of the jiang family, who didn’t know what was going on, were speechless.
!!
everyone was in the same circle, so they naturally knew who su mu’s cousin was.
everyone was shocked when they suddenly found out about shi yan’s identity. only kong xiangxiang was a little embarrassed.
when she heard that the old lady had the intention to matchmake shi yan and her son, she had even gone to shi yan. the reason was not that shi yan was not qualified, but that shi yan’s family background was not good enough.
now that she thought about it, she was extremely glad that she had not said anything too overboard. she was even more glad that rui ‘er had warned her in time that shi yan might be related to fifth lord. she had never caused trouble for shi yan again.
“Su MU’s cousin, doesn’t that mean she’s the daughter of the SU family’s eldest miss? Yan’s surname is Shi, and she looks a little like Yunzhi. Why didn’t I think of that before?” fang xiao yu said with emotion.
you’re not the only one who didn’t think of it, ” grandmother Qi added. even I didn’t think of it.
In the past, the old lady had thought that Shi Yan was really a child from the countryside. She was just more sensible, had a better temperament, and a relatively quiet personality.
she had thought that shi yan’s quiet personality and temperament were related to her love of reading and her many years of being an orphan.
later, when shi yan came to sea city, she could tell that shi yan was different from the first meeting gift she had prepared for them.
In the beginning, he had some doubts about Shi Yan’s background and had even reminded Jiang Cheng not to investigate Shi Yan.
But even so, she had never thought of linking Shi Yan to the Shi family of the capital.
it was mainly because there was only one girl in the shi family’s generation. who would have thought that the pampered young lady of the shi family would live alone in the remote countryside?
the old lady had lived in shi yan’s farmhouse for half a month. it was a mud-walled and tile-roofed house with many vegetables planted in the yard. she had seen shi yan weeding the vegetables in the yard and choosing vegetables to cook. one day, there was a power outage, but shi yan still burned wood to cook. her movements were skillful, and it was obvious that it was not her first time cooking.
she had even seen shi yan wash the clothes with her own eyes.
Yes, hand wash.
Although she had a washing machine at home, Shi Yan had washed it by hand on the day of the power outage, as the sun was bright.
after seeing all this with her own eyes, even if the old lady was smart enough, she would not associate shi yan’s background with the shi family in the capital.
it was a pity that she had been worried that shi yan would get into trouble because of her relationship with jiang che. shi yan’s background meant that she was destined to have a lot of trouble herself.
However, with the backing of the Shi family in the capital, those people in the capital would have to think twice if they wanted to touch Shi Yan.
Thinking of this, the old lady’s worried heart finally calmed down.
On second thought, if Shi Yan was really the only girl in the Shi family, why did she leave home to live in such a remote place at the age of ten?
experiencing life wouldn’t go to such an extent.
she had lived alone for six years!
The Shi family didn’t seem to have any big enemies, so the possibility of Shi Yan going there to hide from them was very small.
The old lady couldn’t figure out the reason why Shi Yan had left home.
“Yan, the cousin you mentioned before is su Feifei?” Jiang Rui was very surprised.
“Yes.” Shi Yan smiled faintly.
Even after Shi Yan’s confirmation, Jiang Rui still found it hard to believe. Jiang Heng was as surprised as she was.”then sister yan, aren’t you the shi family’s xuanji?”
jiang cheng was also a little surprised, but he was quick to calm down and didn’t have such a big reaction.
shi yan smiled in response to jiang heng, but she didn’t say much about her background.
“it’s your turn.” Jiang che reminded Jiang Heng.
jiang heng was so frightened that he almost dropped the mahjong tile in his hand. he had no time to care about shi yan’s background.
yu xi said, ” su mu will take my place. i’ll go to the front yard to take a look. one of the purposes of today’s banquet is to announce that i’m back in haicheng. i should be there. how can i let second sister-in-law entertain the guests alone? ”
After he finished speaking, he stood up and left. Su mu took his place.
yun jian also sat down beside su mu.
Jiang Rui had yet to recover from the sudden discovery of Shi Yan’s background.
yan had told her that she had parents, relatives, and brothers. she believed her, but she didn’t expect it to be the shi family in the capital city.
The five great aristocratic families were the most powerful in the capital, and they were also a level that many people could not come into contact with. she only knew this because the jiang family in haicheng was a branch of the jiang family in jingdu, so she had heard it from her family.
the five great clans of the capital were the jiang clan, the shi clan, the xie clan, the xuan clan, and the yun clan. Among them, the Jiang family, Shi family, and Xie family were the most powerful, while the Xuan family and the Yun family were slightly weaker.
however, in the last two years, the jiang family of the capital had gradually gone downhill without the fifth master of the jiang family to hold the fort, and the decline was very fast. their status gradually fell behind the shi family and the xie family, and the xuan family already had the momentum of surpassing the jiang family.
after su mu sat down, he saw jiang che’s hand on shi yan’s waist. he only felt that it was very glaring.
However, he couldn’t say anything and could only continue to feel depressed.
he glanced at her from time to time, and he glanced at her from time to time. yun jian, who was beside him, wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to. she had a hard time holding back her laughter.
It was Jiang Muchen’s voice that interrupted su MU’s thoughts.
Jiang Muchen said, ” you guys have fun first. I’ll go to the front yard to take a look. It just so happens that I haven’t seen sister Yunzhi in a long time.
Su mu raised his head to look at him.
She met his gaze.
jiang muchen gave him a warm smile, nodded, and left.
once he left, jiang heng felt weak again and hurriedly called yun jian, ” “doctor yun, why don’t you come and sit with me? you can be my advisor.”
yun jian didn’t refuse and sat over.
su mu continued to pick up the cards. seeing that shi yan’s line of sight was also following the leaving jiang muchen, his eyes paused.
Shi Yan looked back at him.
their eyes met.
she didn’t say anything, but she seemed to understand everything.
“When did Yanyan learn how to play Mahjong?” su mu asked, without saying anything.
“just now.”
su mu felt relieved when he thought of how fast she learned things.
“why are you suddenly in the mood to play mahjong? You didn’t like these things before.”
“i have nothing to do, so i’m here to make up the numbers,” shi yan replied with a faint smile.
After chatting for a while, su MU’s eyes unconsciously glanced at Jiang Che’s hand around Shi Yan’s waist. It was really an eyesore.
“Cousin, it’s your turn.” shi yan reminded him with a smile.
Meeting Shi Yan’s slightly smiling eyes, su mu felt even more stifled.
This girl, who was he doing this for?
She even secretly warned him.
alright, although it wasn’t to the extent of a warning and was at most a reminder, he still felt very stifled!
however, this made him even more aware of fifth lord jiang’s weight in her heart.
Although he felt sour, he still felt gratified in his heart.
That’s good, there’s someone that she misses so much.
As for whether Jiang che would let Shi Yan down, that was not something su mu should consider at all.
He understood Shi Yan. She had the ability to bear all the consequences of her choice, so he didn’t need to worry too much.
Relationships were beautiful, and it was because of the beauty that they started. If one thought of the bad outcome from the beginning, there was no need to start.
The few of them played a few more rounds, but Jiang che did not give Shi Yan any more pointers. Shi Yan won and lost, and when she finally received Ren Kexin’s call, she could be considered to have broken even.
he left with jiang rui first.
after they left, the mahjong game was over.
jiang heng ran to catch up with them.
jiang che got someone to send over a set of chess pieces and asked yun jian to play with them.
jiang sheng and su mu were drinking tea and chatting at the side.
xuan liuying, kong xiangxiang, and the others did not stay for long. they went to the front yard after a while.
The old lady didn’t go to the front yard, but she didn’t continue to sit here either. She let aunt Wan help her walk around to exercise her muscles.
In the end, only Jiang Zhiyun, Jian Su mu, Jiang Cheng, Jiang Qing, and Jiang Fan were left sitting there.
The banquet had not officially started, so they did not plan to go now.
shi yan and jiang rui picked up jiang rui’s roommates, ren kexin, and chang ru, but they didn’t see song meilian.
“Shi Yan, Rui ‘er, you look so beautiful in this gown!” ren kexin couldn’t help but praise him when she saw him.
” chang ru and i changed into the gowns that shi yan prepared for us and fiddled with them in the dormitory for a while. i thought we were stunning enough, but after seeing the two of you, i finally understand what it means to be truly stunning. ”
Chang ru and Jiang Rui’s three roommates also complimented her one after another, to the point that Jiang Rui was a little embarrassed.
“alright, alright, stop complimenting me. if you do, i’m going to be smug. everyone is beautiful. Let’s go in first.”
The few of them rejected Jiang Rui’s suggestion to arrange a car to pick them up and took a taxi instead. They could not enter the Yu family mansion by taxi, and they were also one of the few friends that Jiang Rui had invited. Afraid that they would be too reserved, Jiang Rui simply came to the entrance with Shi Yan to pick them up.
“Rui ‘er, Meilian said she’ll be back later, and asked us to let you know.” Chang ru said.
jiang rui nodded in understanding.
the group of people walked into the yu family mansion and sighed.
this is our home?
This is a Manor, right?
this was the life of the rich!
Rui ‘er said that this was the Yu family, which meant that this was Rui’ er’s real home. So even if Rui ‘er was not the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, she was still the daughter of a big family!
“Rui ‘er, your house is too big!” One of Jiang Rui’s roommates could not help but sigh.
“rui ‘er’s house?” a voice rang out.
He looked over and saw that there were quite a few people.
The person who had spoken just now was han shuangshuang, and beside her was ye Chengcheng. There were also a few young ladies from the upper-class circle of Sea city, but Shi Yan did not recognize them.
Xuan Siyun stood among the young ladies that Shi Yan didn’t know.
han shuangshuang’s gown was white, making her look like a delicate little white flower.
Ye Chengcheng’s dress was mainly orange.
Xuan Siyun’s dress was red.
the red dress she was wearing brought out her flamboyant and charming temperament. even though she was standing at the back, she was the most eye-catching.
jing hailan also walked over from a distance. she was not wearing her usual flamboyant red dress. instead, she was light purple dress.
It was just that her flamboyant temperament and beautiful figure were there, and even if the dress was standard, it could not hide her aura.
But she didn’t overshadow the host.
Standing next to the main character, Jiang Rui, one could still tell that she was the main character.
it wasn’t like xuan siyun’s red dress, which was too eye-catching.
If it was someone else, they could understand that she didn’t know that today was Jiang Rui’s family reunion banquet and only thought that it was the Yu family’s banquet to celebrate Yu Xi’s return, so she was dressed like this. However, Xuan Siyun was Jiang Rui’s cousin and she had seen Jiang Rui before. She was very clear about the purpose of today’s banquet.
Yet, she still chose this gown.
even shi yan, who was rarely affected by emotions, could not help frowning at this time.
” that’s right. it’s rui ‘er’s family. miss han, you still don’t know that rui’ er is su mu’s cousin? ” Jing Hailan arrived before he could.
Before han shuangshuang could respond, Jing Hailan looked at Xuan Siyun, who was the most eye-catching in the crowd. “Oh, which family’s daughter is this? why haven’t I seen her before? She’s very beautiful, like a peony in full bloom. She’s the most eye-catching even in a crowd.”
Knowing that Jing Hailan was not to be trifled with, The Heiresses standing in front of Xuan Siyun stepped back, not daring to block Jing Hailan’s line of sight.
