Chapter 218
218 chapter 218 shi yan meets xuan siyun
“meilian, thank you for coming to accompany me that night.” Jiang Rui and song Meilian thanked him.
in the end, song meilian left with jing xuan. jiang sheng had told jiang rui about this, so jiang rui knew about it.
but she didn’t ask.
“you’re welcome. i’m just worried that it’s not safe for shi yan to go out alone at night. besides, aren’t we friends?”
jiang rui didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the cold and quiet song meilian seemed to be more cheerful.
“Yeah, we’re friends,” Jiang Rui said with a smile after a pause.
since you’re friends, I’m holding a family reunion this weekend. I’d like to invite you to have fun. Are you free? ”
jiang rui was a very transparent person. she couldn’t accept it at first, mainly because she couldn’t accept being estranged from her family. Since her family didn’t alienate her because she wasn’t their biological daughter and had even found a solution to be a family for the rest of their lives, she also liked her relationship with Jiang Cheng after the change. Naturally, she wouldn’t be conflicted anymore.
Jiang Rui, who was not conflicted, was very open-minded about everything.
she had accepted everything, including the fact that she had acknowledged the yu family.
He even hoped to acknowledge his family as soon as possible.
although she was drunk that night, she would not forget things after drinking. she remembered everything that happened that night in the bamboo carriage clearly, including how she had declared her ownership in front of han shuang shuang.
She also remembered that she had done it on purpose.
in the past, her brother was just her brother. she didn’t care who liked her brother or coveted him. now that their relationship had changed, she naturally wouldn’t allow others to covet her brother.
It was good to acknowledge his family. After that, he could openly declare his sovereignty.
Moreover, she had never thought of not acknowledging this kiss from the beginning. Since she had to acknowledge it sooner or later, it didn’t make a difference whether it was earlier or later.
“a xuanji family reunion?” Ren Kexin and Chang ru spoke at the same time.
he was slightly surprised.
They knew about family recognition, but this “banquet”?
not all family recognition events could hold a banquet.
That night, Xuan wanrou had blocked Jiang Rui’s brother’s car. Xuan wanrou’s mother, who was also Jiang Rui’s biological mother, had appeared at the scene. Someone had taken a video and posted it on the school forum.
although the light was very dim at the time and she could not see clearly, jiang rui’s biological mother did not seem to be from a very high family background.
Jiang Rui’s biological mother could not have been born into a wealthy family. If she had, Xuan wanrou would not have tried to stop Jiang Rui’s brother’s car.
“Yes, it’s a family reunion.” jiang rui said with a smile.
” i believe you’ve heard that i’m not the biological daughter of the jiang family. my brother has already secretly investigated my background. i’ve also met my real family. the family recognition banquet is scheduled for this saturday. come and play when you’re free. i’ll prepare an invitation for you. ”
Ren Kexin and Chang ru exchanged a look and replied in a daze, ” “sure, sure, we’ll definitely come.”
Doubts were doubts, but it was not appropriate to ask.
he would know what the situation was on saturday.
when I’m preparing the gown, I’ll have to prepare it for my roommates. Do you guys need me to prepare it together? ” Jiang Rui asked.
It could be seen that she got along well with her roommates.
she asked casually and frankly, not making people feel embarrassed at all, but more at ease.
It would be great if she could ask so that others wouldn’t have a suitable dress after receiving the invitation. That would be really awkward.
however, ren kexin and chang ru did not give an answer immediately. they looked at shi yan.
He did not know why he looked at Shi Yan, but it was a subconscious action.
Perhaps before they realized it, they felt the same as song Meilian and thought that Shi Yan was very reliable and reassuring.
Sensing their gazes, Shi Yan smiled and said, ” “No need, I’ll prepare their gowns.”
She looked at song Meilian and understood what she meant without asking. She said directly,”i’ll prepare mine myself.”
ren kexin and chang ru did not stand on ceremony.
” shi yan, i’ll leave my and chang ru’s gowns to you. i’ll send you the size later. ”
It wasn’t that they couldn’t prepare themselves, but they didn’t know the standards of the banquet and were afraid that the gowns they prepared would embarrass Jiang Rui.
after all, they were going there as jiang rui’s friends.
They didn’t mention money to Shi Yan either. They could all see that Shi Yan didn’t lack money. If they directly mentioned money at this time, it would inevitably be suspicious of Shi Yan’s face.
They would be living together for four years in the future, so there would be a chance to return the favor. Or, the next time he saw something suitable for Shi Yan, he would buy it for her. Courtesy demands reciprocity.
“do you need any help?” Shi Yan asked.
no, my brother told me to focus on my lessons. He said that my third uncle will make the necessary arrangements for Yu san’s arrangements. He will also meet up with my third uncle and help him if he needs any help.
“that’s good.”
as they were talking, they stopped in their tracks when they were about to reach the cafeteria.
It was song Meilian who stopped.
She saw ye Chengcheng standing not far away.
shi yan naturally saw it as well. she glanced at song meilian, but after seeing that her expression didn’t change much, she turned her gaze back to ye chengcheng and then to the person next to ye chengcheng.
She was dressed in a professional suit that outlined her perfect figure and was extremely beautiful. However, her aura was too strong, and it suppressed the charm in her face.
Of course, Shi Yan had noticed her not because of her appearance, but simply because Shi Yan knew who she was.
she was her second and third brother’s middle school classmate. she had seen their middle school graduation photo.
With such an outstanding appearance and the fact that she was the eldest daughter of the Xuan family, plus her second brother secretly saying that her third brother had a good impression of this eldest daughter of the Xuan family, even if Shi Yan didn’t care much about these things back then, she still took a few more glances at the eldest daughter of the Xuan family in the photo.
Even though many years had passed, this miss Xuan had changed quite a bit. Shi Yan could still recognize her at a glance.
The young lady of house Xuan?
was he here for jiang rui?
Seeing Shi Yan staring at her, Jiang Rui couldn’t help but approach her and ask, ” “yan, do you know the person next to ye chengcheng?”
“She’s the eldest daughter of the Xuan family, your cousin in name.”
jiang rui was stunned.
She had never thought that the other party would be related to her.
“Friend or Foe?” Jiang Rui had grown up in the Jiang family and was not a naive girl. She was not concerned about her cousins, but whether they were friends or foes.
“i’m not sure yet.” shi yan smiled and glanced at her.
Jiang Rui was clear-headed, she had known it for a long time.
this was good, it was not easy to suffer losses.
“you’re here to find me?” Jiang Rui asked again.
“it should be,”
“then let’s go meet him.” jiang rui brushed her hair and smiled.
they were looking at xuan siyun and ye chengcheng, and xuan siyun and ye chengcheng were looking at them.
Ye Chengcheng only had eyes for song Meilian. When she looked at song Meilian, her eyes darkened.
However, she quickly collected her emotions.
no one noticed.
xuan siyun had asked ye chengcheng who jiang rui was, so she had only been paying attention to jiang rui.
However, when she saw Shi Yan, who was beside Jiang Rui, her eyes stopped.
The girl was dressed simply and casually. Her long hair was tied up in a high ponytail, and she had no makeup on.
However, she was the most eye-catching and impossible to ignore in the crowd.
she was very beautiful, but she did not have a flamboyant appearance. her appearance was just like the feeling she gave people, with a dignified and gentle aura that exuded from her bones. There was a faint smile on her face, which made her look even gentler.
Her eyes met the girl’s for a moment.
In an instant, she clearly felt the calmness in the girl’s eyes.
it was as if she wasn’t even in this girl’s eyes.
this was the first time that a girl could remain so calm after seeing her face.
