“don’t blame your grandfather. he’s just like that, and he might care about you. there’s one thing you might not know, but when he found out about you and that child of the jiang family, your grandfather personally went to the child’s manor to block someone, but unfortunately, he didn’t manage to block him.”
when shi chen heard this, he glared at xie xi n, his expression a little unnatural.”Why are you telling her this? So that she would laugh at me for not being able to meet a junior after mingling around for my entire life?”
” what’s there to laugh about? you and i both know how capable that child of the jiang family is. there are many people who want to see him but can’t, and his biological parents are no exception. it’s not embarrassing that you can’t see him. ”
Although he said that, Shi Chen still felt embarrassed that he couldn’t find anyone outside the door with his walking stick.
he felt that he was different from the two in the jiang family. those two were biased parents, but he was different. he was of higher seniority. moreover, it was jiang che who wanted to abduct his granddaughter, but he couldn’t even see jiang che. he felt very embarrassed and very unhappy!
shi yan really didn’t know much about this.
however, she thought that it must have happened when jiang che returned to the capital alone.
“Thank you for your concern, grandfather and grandmother. Jiang che is very good to me, and we’re very good. Jiang che had wanted to come back with me today and meet the elders of the family, but I didn’t agree. i thought it would be better for me to come back and let him know first. i’ll bring him to the door in two days.”
“listen, listen, what are you saying? so that kid is one of your own, and we’re outsiders? we haven’t even seen him yet and he’s already speaking up for him. what, are you afraid that we’ll make things difficult for him?”
Shi Yan smiled and said nothing.
Shi Chen was even angrier, as if he had tacitly agreed to his words.
“Fine! I’m an evil person, and I’ll find people to dislike! If you’ve seen it, then get lost. Standing here is annoying! Eldest daughter-in-law, bring her back to her courtyard. She hasn’t been back for so many years, I’m afraid she has even forgotten which direction her courtyard door is open!”
Shi Yan was not affected by his attitude at all. She calmly bowed again.”then i’ll return to the hospital first. i’ll come back later to accompany grandfather and grandmother for lunch.”
Su Wan left with Shi Yan, and the younger generation also left.
Shi Lin, the four people from the second branch and the old man from the third branch all stayed behind.
xie xi n looked at shi xun and sighed,”why do you have to do this?” you’ve been waiting for yanyan’s return ever since you found out that she’s back in the capital. weren’t you worried about her condition two days ago and went around asking for information?”
being exposed in public like this, the old master felt a little embarrassed and glared at her.
he coughed and looked at shi lin, who was sitting there. ” “since you’ve stayed, you must have something to say. just say it.”
Without waiting for Shi Lin to speak, he snorted coldly,”Even if you don’t say it, I know what you want to say. Isn’t it about that girl and the Jiang family’s boy? if that kid from the jiang family wasn’t also from the capital, she probably wouldn’t have wanted to come back even now! An entire family is not as important as an outsider, you’re heartless!”
“b-uncle, you can’t put it that way. from a certain perspective, the shi family should thank the fifth master of the jiang family. if it weren’t for him, yanyan wouldn’t have returned home so quickly.” Second aunt qu Xuan stammered.
He carefully looked at the old man’s face, for fear of angering him.
she only had one son, and to her, nothing mattered more than her son’s return.
and she knew very well that shi yan played a huge role in shi boxiang’s return. As for Shi Boxun running away from home because of Shi Yan, she had long thought it through and didn’t blame Shi Yan.
without the second branch’s pressure, shi yan would not have left home, and the only child of the second branch would not have left home for so many years.
It was enough for her to be stupid once. She would not do it a second time.
“do i need you to be so nosy?” shi chen glared at her.
Qu Xuan laughed dryly and shut her mouth.
It seemed that he was not angered by her and heaved a sigh of relief.
“Big brother, while the juniors are not here, let’s talk about serious matters.” The third old master, Shi Jinlei, spoke.
shi xun did not specifically ask them to stay, but the shi family had always been harmonious and had a tacit understanding between the family that other families did not have. Even if Shi Xun didn’t say anything, they knew that he had something to say, so they stayed.
shi xun said seriously,”you should already know about yanyan and the kid from the jiang family, so i won’t say much.” it has been a few days since she returned to the capital. i believe that you have more or less investigated the reason why she chose to return at this time.”
“Hmph! if it wasn’t for the rumors of the marriage between the jiang family and the xie family, she wouldn’t have wanted to come back. she’s heartless!”
She did not forget to express her dissatisfaction while talking about serious matters.
so many years have passed, but her personality hasn’t changed at all. Look at all of you, your eyes are red from crying. She’s the only one who’s calm and collected. Her heart is really hard!
“i still take after you.” xie xi n answered with a smile.
“Whether it was when Yanyan left back then or when she came back now, your eyes didn’t even turn red. This isn’t because you’re hard-hearted, it’s because you can take it. yanyan has taken after you in terms of your calmness.”
As expected of a married couple of many years, Xie Xi N’s words made Shi Chen’s lips curl up.
he tried his best not to let anyone see it.
he snorted and continued,”with that girl’s personality, since she came back at this time, it’s impossible for her to not do anything.” do you have any news from your side? what is her plan?”
The second half of the sentence was directed at Shi Lin.
shi lin shook his head. ” i don’t know. the last time i saw her was when she had a high fever. at that time, she was not conscious and didn’t speak. ”
speaking of this, shi xun got angry. ” when i was young, my physical fitness was so good. after a few years of wandering outside, i became like this. i had a good life, but i had to suffer that kind of punishment. i deserve it! ”
He knew that Shi Yan’s sudden illness had nothing to do with her physical fitness.
“Also, what kind of father are you? how come you don’t even know what your own daughter is planning?”
shi lin was speechless.
the old man was on fire and ordered whoever he could.
however, as a father, he did not even know what his daughter was planning. it was indeed a dereliction of duty.
it wasn’t that they didn’t go to investigate, but that they couldn’t find anything. He didn’t know if even he, her father, could not find out anything, whether it was Jiang Che’s obstruction or Yanyan’s own ability.
“What about you guys? you don’t know?” the old man asked the others.
“Big brother, sister-in-law, and ah Lin don’t know. It’s even more impossible for us to know.” The second old master Shi Qing said.
“didn’t bo li say anything to you? He’s the closest to that girl in the whole family.”
no, we’re already satisfied that BOSU doesn’t blame us and is willing to talk to us. We did something wrong back then, so we don’t dare to expect anything else. The second old Madam smiled bitterly.
Xie Xi n saw that he couldn’t get anything out of her, so he said, ” “it’s fine if you don’t know. i heard that yanyan only took a week’s leave. what she’s going to do should be within these two days. we just have to keep an eye on her and not let her be bullied.”
It was unlikely that he would be bullied. even if they didn’t care, her brothers wouldn’t. besides, there was still the fifth lord jiang.
this was what everyone was thinking, but no one said it out loud.
Yanyan didn’t need their help, and they didn’t want to help her. They couldn’t just leave her alone just because someone was helping her.
“from what you’re saying, you’ve silently agreed to the relationship between yanyan and the child of the jiang family?” Shi Jinlei suddenly asked.
