Chapter 168
168 telling the truth in person
Looking at the person in the driver’s seat, Jiang Rui shouted, ” “ge! ge! ge!”
“We’ll talk about it at home.” he was interrupted by jiang sheng.
Jiang Cheng didn’t look at her. He focused on starting the car and leaving the school.
Jiang Rui stared at his side profile for a long time, then bit her lip and said nothing.
in another car, jiang che saw that shi yan was carrying the white school bag he had given her and a scroll in her hand.
compared to jiang sheng and jiang rui, the atmosphere between the two was much better.
they smiled at each other the moment they met.
“Mr. Jiang.”
“Miss Shi.”
then, jiang che’s gaze fell on the scroll in shi yan’s hand. ” “what are you holding in your hand? calligraphy and painting?”
shi yan followed his line of sight and looked at the scroll. her eyes curved.”i’m not telling you yet.”
It was rare to see her with such a delicate appearance. The corners of Jiang Che’s beautiful peach-shaped eyes on his gentle and elegant face raised slightly.
he actually left him in suspense.
this piqued his curiosity.
It was already eight o ‘clock in the evening when they arrived at the Jiang family’s mansion.
He and Jiang Cheng’s car entered the Jiang family’s main gate one after the other. However, Jiang Cheng’s car headed directly in the direction of the main building, while Jiang Che’s car did not.
“do you want to go to bamboo garden or send you back first?”
Shi Yan didn’t answer immediately. She looked at the car in front of her that was going to the main building.
without waiting for her to speak, jiang che said, ” don’t worry. the jiang family won’t be stupid. with jiang cheng and the old lady around, jiang rui won’t be at a disadvantage. ” They’re dealing with family matters, so it’s not appropriate for us to go over now.”
shi yan naturally knew that it was inappropriate.
She was just a little worried about Jiang Rui.
however, just as jiang che had said, she was dealing with family matters. it was indeed inappropriate for them to go over.
“let’s go back to my courtyard. i need to put down my things.” She raised the scroll in her hand.
Seeing that she valued this piece of calligraphy so much, Jiang che was even more curious.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Shi Yan’s courtyard.
after parking the car, the two of them got out. without shi yan’s urging, jiang che did not leave immediately. he naturally held shi yan’s hand and entered the courtyard.
There was something going on in the main building, so almost all the important people in the Jiang family were called over, including Xiao Zhao, who had been by the old lady’s side for several years. therefore, there was no one else in shi yan’s courtyard. the house was dark and the lights were not on.
it was quiet.
He went straight into the house and turned on the lights.
shi yan said to jiang che, ” i’ll put my things in the study room first. wait for me downstairs. i’ll be right down. ”
“Alright,” he said.
” yes, ” jiang che replied and asked her, ” i had dinner early. do you want to eat something? ” I’ll get someone to prepare it and send it over.”
“That’s good.” shi yan said with a smile.
” you’ve been back and forth for four hours. even if you ate something before you left, you should be hungry by now. ”
by right, they should have gone to eat as soon as they left the school, but shi yan was worried about jiang rui, so she followed jiang sheng and the others back in their car.
shi yan quickly put down the scroll and her bag, only taking her phone with her.
jiang che was sitting on the sofa.
“I’ll go make a cup of tea.”
As soon as Shi Yan finished speaking, Jiang che said, ” “no rush.”
“Come over and sit first.” he didn’t sit on the single sofa, but on the Changsha, and patted the seat beside him.
Glancing at him, Shi Yan walked over and was about to sit down. If she dared to approach him, he would reach out and pull her wrist to sit on his lap.
jiang che took the phone out of her hand and put it aside. he hugged her tightly and looked at her, asking, ” “miss shi, i haven’t seen you for a day. did you miss me?”
Shi Yan,”Yingluo.”
he had his usual air of elegance, but the words he said did not match his temperament at all.
however, he didn’t seem to need her answer. as soon as he finished speaking, his lips fell on hers.
a light kiss.
Shi Yan wasn’t sure if she wanted to, but she was very happy to see him and liked his closeness. She didn’t resist or struggle, obediently nestled in his arms.
after the kiss, the two of them quietly embraced each other for a moment. jiang che then held her waist and sat her down beside him. he raised his hand and gently tucked her hair behind her ear.”where are the tea leaves? i’ll go make some tea.”
Shi Yan told him the location of the tea leaves, and after a while, Jiang che brought over two cups of tea.
the two of them drank tea for a while, and jiang lin came over with a lunchbox.
Naturally, he had asked the kitchen to prepare it in advance.
although the jiang family had things to deal with, they still had to eat. the chefs and aunties in the kitchen were not on leave.
jiang lin left after the food was delivered.
In the main building, Jiang Sheng and Jiang Rui went straight into the house after getting out of the car.
Jiang Rui stopped at the gate halfway. Jiang Cheng didn’t say anything and turned back to lead her inside.
There were many people in the main hall. Besides the Jiang family, Yu Xi and Xuan Liuying were also there.
a few pairs of eyes paused when they saw the two of them holding hands.
old lady’s expression was normal, fang xiao yu was excited. Yu Xi was expressionless, Xuan Liuying showed a little worry after the shock, and Jiang Fan had the same reaction as Xuan Liuying.
only jiang qing, kong xiangxiang, and jiang heng didn’t pay attention to this.
as soon as they saw them, the three of them looked a little excited, especially kong xiangxiang. her nose felt sour and tears fell.
“rui ‘er, qianqian.”
jiang rui’s footsteps paused slightly. she broke free of jiang cheng’s hand and looked at the jiang family with a complicated expression. After a moment, his eyes turned to Xuan Liuying and Yu Xi.
He was a little surprised.
This was her biological mother, so she could understand why she was present. However, why was the third young master of the Yu family here too?
however, jiang rui was not stupid. yu xi’s appearance at home at this time must have something to do with her biological parents.
she couldn’t help but think of the car accident that had destroyed the yu family nineteen years ago.
Then he looked at Xuan Liuying.
Her background was almost revealed.
no wonder yan told her that yu xi looked at her weirdly when they first met. it was to remind her so that she wouldn’t be too upset when she found out the truth.
in fact, yu xi and xuan liuying had arrived a step earlier than them. they only greeted the jiang family and didn’t have time to say much. therefore, apart from jiang sheng and jiang rui, only the old lady, aunt wan, and jiang heng, who had seen yu xi once, knew that he was the third young master of the yu family.
Even though they did not know their identities, just like Jiang Rui, they could guess that they were Jiang Rui’s real family when they saw them here.
“Grandmother Qianqian.”
Jiang Rui took a deep breath to calm herself down. Just as she was about to say hello, she was interrupted by the old lady, ” “Take a seat first.”
the atmosphere was already very depressing, and with the addition of kong xiangxiang’s low sobbing, everyone couldn’t help but feel a little suffocated. At this moment, the old lady spoke with a calm expression, and the oppressive atmosphere dissipated a little.
He walked over and sat down.
jiang cheng was sitting beside jiang rui.
as soon as he sat down, jiang cheng’s assistant handed him a document.
The assistant had calculated that they would be back around this time, so he had waited a few minutes earlier.
“I’m sure everyone already knows what they should know.” jiang sheng’s words made kong xiangxiang’s last bit of hope disappear, and she cried even harder.
Glancing at her, Jiang Cheng said, ” then I won’t talk nonsense. This is the information I’ve investigated and a few paternity tests. You can take a look.
since things had already come to this, it would be better to resolve the matter as soon as possible. the longer it dragged on, the more uncomfortable everyone would feel.
xiao zhao came forward to take it and was about to pass it to the old lady, but the old lady waved her hand. ” “let them see it first.”
She handed it to Kong Xiangxiang, but she didn’t take it. She just watched Jiang Rui cry, making Jiang Rui’s nose sour.
In the end, it was still Jiang Qing who took it.
He first took out the DNA test.
the test for jiang rui and the jiang family was nine years ago, not long after jiang rui rolled down the stairs and was discharged from the hospital. the other tests were probably six to two years after that.
The time taken was different. It was probably not easy to investigate these things and took some time.
