538 He’s indeed quite sick
In the past month, Shi Yan had started school. She and Jiang che had completely moved to a small villa near the school.
Shi Yan had not seen mu during this period of time.
Mu Xingxing was clearly a person that even she had some doubts about. He had disappeared just like that and had not taken the initiative to contact her. This made her a little uncertain whether she was overthinking the matter of mu Xingxing.
However, Jupiter didn’t hold much weight in her heart, so she didn’t deliberately investigate the reason for its sudden disappearance.
su mu and jing hailan’s engagement ceremony was held in the su family’s old mansion.
this was su mu’s request.
The SU family’s old mansion had been deserted for many years. It was time to be lively.
on this day, the su family’s guests gathered.
as the brother of the bride-to-be, jing xuan naturally had to be there, accompanied by song meilian. Shi Yan and Jiang che only arrived after the two of them helped entertain the guests for a while.
“Shi Yan, over here!”
as soon as shi yan entered the door, song meilian, who was accompanying jing xuan and chatting with a guest, saw her.
at this moment, yuxi and yun jian also walked towards jiang che. shi yan greeted jiang che in a low voice and walked towards song meilian.
“You’re finally here. There aren’t many people I’m familiar with here. I can’t even find anyone to talk to.” song meilian held shi yan’s hand.
Shi Yan actually wanted to remind song Meilian not to forget her cold and aloof character.
It was true that song Meilian was still cold in front of outsiders, but she slowly changed in front of Jing Xuan and her close friends.
“rui ‘er isn’t here yet?”
today was saturday, and they were still in class yesterday. she and jiang che lived in the villa’s courtyard and had come directly from there instead of going the same way as jiang rui.
“No, I just texted her and said she’ll be here in a while.”
the banquet hall was full of people. at a glance, only a few of them were not famous people in sea city.
This kind of occasion required all kinds of small talk.
Shi Yan didn’t like it, and song Meilian, who had a deep relationship with Haicheng, didn’t like it even more, so she said, ” “Shi Yan, there are still a few hours before the ceremony officially begins. Let’s find a quiet place to sit down and talk.”
“my mom has a yard here. there’s usually no one there. let’s go over there.”
Indeed, there were not many people around. Su Wan and Shi Lin were helping to entertain the guests.
speaking of which, shi yan had not met her parents since she returned to crescent bay for the new year. they had always been in contact by phone, and su wan would occasionally video call shi yan.
su wan and shi lin had only arrived in haicheng at midnight yesterday. shi yan and jiang che had gone straight to the banquet venue as soon as they arrived, so they had not been able to meet each other officially.
However, it was precisely this natural and unintentional way of getting along that made them feel more like family.
on their way to su wan’s courtyard, su wan and shi lin, who were about to return to the courtyard to get something, saw them from a distance.
Their eyes lit up with joy. Just as they were about to go forward to call Shi Yan, they saw a person scuttle in front of Shi Yan before them.
Seeing that the visitor was not friendly, su Wan was about to step forward but was stopped by Shi Lin.
shi lin shook his head at her. ” let’s take a look first. if it’s just a friend who has a conflict with yanyan, it’s not good for us to just go over. ” I don’t think girls of their age like their parents to get involved in small conflicts.”
the person who came was a girl who was about the same age as shi yan. however, they were a little far away from each other, so they did not see the girl’s appearance clearly.
“miss shi, long time no see.”
the person blocking shi yan and song meilian’s way was jiang shasha, the second young miss of the jiang family, whom they had not seen for a long time.
Compared to the last time they had met, Jiang Shasha had lost a lot of weight and looked much more Haggard. Only her unruly aura had not changed much after she had taken off her glasses.
“It’s been a long time, second young mistress Jiang,” Shi Yan replied with a smile.
“I thought you would be surprised to see me here. as expected of the calm and elegant young miss of the shi family, always so calm in the face of changes.”
jiang shasha said this with a smile, as if she appreciated shi yan’s calmness.
“thank you for the compliment.”
His eyes fell on Jiang Shasha.
the su family’s heir’s engagement party was no ordinary party. all the guests had to be dressed formally, and jiang shasha was wearing a black evening gown.
it didn’t match her usual elegant and quiet style.
However, Jiang Shasha didn’t seem to want to keep up the pretense.
” as far as i know, the su family and the jiang family’s second young lady have no interactions. i don’t think the jiang family’s second young lady appeared here at the su family’s invitation. ”
it’s true that I don’t have much interaction with the SU family, and I’m not here at their invitation. I heard that the SU family is having a banquet, so I followed my friends here to join in the fun and to meet miss Shi.
Oh, miss Shi knows my friend too. His name is Gu Yi. He’s a friend of the SU family’s young master.
su mu and gu yi had fallen out a long time ago, but they had been friends for a few years and had a lot of business dealings. it was impossible to completely cut off all contact for a short period of time, so the su family had invited gu yi to the engagement party today.
it was normal for gu yi to bring a female companion, but it was a little unexpected that gu yi’s female companion was jiang shasha. however, shi yan didn’t intend to ask why gu yi had brought jiang shasha along or what kind of relationship he had with her.
“does that mean that the jiang family’s second young mistress is here for me?” he asked, looking directly at jiang shasha.
Jiang Shasha raised an eyebrow and smiled. that’s right. I’m here to settle some scores with you.
song meilian subconsciously wanted to stand in front of shi yan to protect her. su wan and shi lin, who were not far away, also prepared to step forward with cold faces, but the three of them tacitly held back. they didn’t do anything and just watched quietly.
“looking for me to settle the score?”
“If I’m not mistaken, the Jiang family’s second young mistress was the one who offended me the last time we met. I didn’t offend you.” Shi Yan smiled as she looked at her. Shouldn’t I be the one to settle the score with you?”
Previously, when Bai Xue and Jiang Shasha had come to look for him, Jiang che had successively suppressed the Bai and Yun families. She didn’t need to think to know that Jiang che would not let Jiang Shasha off so easily.
shi yan did not ask how much jiang che had suppressed jiang shasha.
It wasn’t hard to guess that Jiang Shasha’s so-called revenge had something to do with this.
“Alright, I misexpressed it.” jiang shasha shrugged.
” i’m indeed here to settle scores with you, but i’m not here to pick a fight. on the contrary, i’m here to express my gratitude. ”
“......”
Shi Yan, who had always been indifferent, gave her a rare look that said,”are you crazy?”
Jiang Shasha clearly saw through her expression, but she didn’t get angry. Instead, she smiled and said, ” ” although i made fifth uncle unhappy the last time i came to disturb you, causing the properties i’ve saved up over the years to be almost completely suppressed in this month, i still have to thank fifth uncle, thank you. ”
To thank someone for being suppressed, was he crazy?
song meilian also thought that jiang shasha was crazy.
“You must all think that I’m sick. In fact, I’m really sick, and it’s not a light one.”
jiang shasha looked at shi yan and smiled. ” i know that you’re fifth uncle’s sweetheart, but i still took the risk of offending him to cause trouble for you. it’s a serious illness. ”
