Chapter 257
257 chapter 257-reservations about him
he followed her line of sight, but he saw nothing.
it’s nothing. Jiang Yun retracted her gaze in a daze. I might have been mistaken.
“what did i see wrong?”
“i think i saw third brother just now, but i think i was wrong. third older brother is not interested in the matters of the family and is only focused on teaching and educating people. he has never had any interactions with fifth uncle, so it is unlikely that he would appear here.”
jiang bai looked at the empty tree not far away, his eyes unreadable.”perhaps you’re really mistaken.”
The old master and old lady of the Jiang family in the capital were still alive.
they were jiang che’s parents.
One of them was eighty, and the other was seventy-one. Jiang che was an old man.
the jiang family’s first and second master were the children of old master jiang’s first wife. the first wife also left behind a daughter, the only daughter of the jiang family’s previous generation.
The Jiang family’s third and fourth Masters were the children of old master Jiang’s second wife.
the jiang family’s fifth master was the son of old master jiang and his third wife. he was also the only child of the current old madam of the jiang family after she married into the jiang family.
logically speaking, he should be extremely doted on.
Unfortunately, if a mother wanted to be a good stepmother, she could only pay more attention to the children left behind by her ex-wives and ignore her own children.
if jiang che had not displayed extraordinary talent at such a young age and was designated as the heir of the jiang family, no one in the jiang family would have noticed him.
As for the Jiang family’s juniors …
the jiang family’s eldest master, jiang zuo, had a son and a daughter, the jiang family’s eldest young master, jiang nan, and the jiang family’s eldest young miss, jiang wei. the wife of the jiang family’s second master passed away early, leaving behind a son and a daughter. they were the jiang family’s third young master, jiang yu, and the jiang family’s second young lady, jiang shasha. the jiang family’s third master only had one son, the jiang family’s second young master, jiang bai. the jiang family’s fourth master only had one daughter, the jiang family’s third miss, jiang yun.
As their father was of the same father and mother, and they were both the only child, Jiang Bai and Jiang Yun had a closer relationship.
jiang nan, jiang wei, and jiang bai had all entered their family’s company; Jiang Yu was a professor at the capital University. He didn’t pay attention to his family’s business and didn’t interact much with his family. Jiang Shasha was an artist, but she didn’t take part in her family’s business, nor was she close to her family. Jiang Yun was just a student at Jingdu University in name and didn’t have any position.
that was why jiang yun was so sure that she had seen wrongly when she saw jiang yu here.
“whatever. i don’t care if he’s seeing things or not. it doesn’t affect me. let’s go, second brother. let’s go eat and see if we can have a chance encounter with fifth uncle and the others.”
Jiang Bai’s face darkened, and Jiang Yun chuckled. “i’m just joking. why are you so nervous? being a third wheel once is enough, i won’t be so insensible.”
Jiang che left with Shi Yan, not driving.
It was too crowded outside, and it was still early, so the two of them were not in a hurry to eat. They strolled to the restaurant they had booked.
It was about half an hour’s walk.
they chatted along the way.
“they said they met an acquaintance and were drinking coffee together. who did they meet?” jiang che asked.
He was more interested in this because he knew Shi Yan well. If it wasn’t a special acquaintance, she wouldn’t skip class to have coffee with him, even if it was only an elective class.
“shi bochen, my younger brother.”
shi yan had nothing to hide from jiang che.
jiang che lowered his gaze to look at her. from this angle, he could only see half of her exquisite face and could not see the expression in her eyes. thus, he could not tell how she felt when she mentioned the shi family.
fortunately, her tone was calm, so he was slightly relieved.
he had not specifically investigated the shi family, but as the person who had been in charge of the jiang family for six years, he naturally knew who the members of the shi family were.
although he did not know his name, he knew very well that the eldest daughter of the jiang family only had one younger brother, who was the child of the third branch of the shi family.
he should be the shi bochen she was talking about.
“He’s in Haicheng?”
“yes.”
“Is he here to find you?”
“Yes.” Shi Yan nodded again.
“Since he’s here for you, why didn’t he call him over for dinner?”
” i said i had an appointment and asked him if he wanted to have a meal with me. he rejected me, so i didn’t force him. he’ll be staying in haicheng for three months anyway, so there’s no rush to have a meal with me. ”
” three months? ” jiang che paused. ” three months? ”
Shi Yan also stopped and looked up at him, but she couldn’t see anything from his expression.
As always, she was gentle and reserved.
but shi yan still raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, ” yes. i’ll stay at haicheng university for three months as an exchange student between capital university and haicheng university. ”
“Teacher Jiang, you don’t want him to stay for so long?”
“No,” Jiang Che’s expression did not change.
“since he’s your brother and he’s here to find you, you can stay as long as you want,” he added.
He said one thing but meant another.
shi yan couldn’t help but laugh.
she held his hand tightly and raised her head slightly to look at him. ” it doesn’t matter how long he stays. mr. jiang, if you ask me out, i’ll reject anyone’s invitation. no one can surpass you. ”
After hearing what she said, the man who said he didn’t mind how long the other party stayed a second ago visibly curved his lips.
He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. you said it yourself. I didn’t force you to do it.
“You have to do what you say.”
shi yan burst into laughter.
It was rare to see him show such a childish side.
“Yes, I mean what I say.”
The two of them held hands and smiled as they walked for a while. Jiang che asked, ” “did jiang wei send someone to look for you last night?”
shi yan was not surprised that he knew.
Perhaps he had already guessed it when she called him last night to ask him out for dinner this afternoon.
” yes, but you don’t have to worry. they can’t hurt me. i’ve already taken them away. ”
she asked,”i was planning to send those people to the police station to cause jiang wei some trouble. now that you’ve taken jiang wei away, there’s no point in causing trouble. what should we do with those people?” leave it to you?”
“We’ll send her to the police station as you planned. Jiang Wei isn’t here, and there are other people in the Jiang family. after handing her over to the police, they would inform the jiang family. if this news were to spread, the jiang family would also lose face. Since you dared to do it, you have to pay the price. Otherwise, people will think that my people are easy to bully.”
When he said this, his voice was warm and calm, but his eyes were cold.
“Okay, then I’ll have them sent to the police station. you don’t need to worry about this, i’ll get someone to handle it. ”
“yes.” Jiang che nodded.
“What do you plan to do with Jiang Wei?” Shi Yan asked again.
“let’s teach him a lesson first, then send him abroad for a few months. the jiang family’s internal affairs were unstable. jiang wei’s current position in the company had taken a few years of hard work. if she comes back after a few months, i’m afraid there won’t be a place for her in the company.”
he didn’t need to say more, as shi yan could understand.
When she returned to the capital, Jiang Wei would be in more pain than death after losing her power and being high and mighty.
After all, they were in a society ruled by law now, and they couldn’t just kill anyone.
Shi Yan liked this kind of punishment very much.
“It’s also a warning to the Jiang family.” Jiang che said.
“teacher jiang, do you have anything to ask me about the person i’m training?”
“no, i didn’t,”
“I just want to know that you have the ability to protect yourself,” Jiang che said seriously.
“miss shi, don’t be so silly as to tell me everything. you should hold back even when it comes to me. Even if you want to tell me everything, you don’t have to be so quick. We still have a long time in the future, and there’s plenty of time to slowly get to know each other.”
Shi Yan blinked and looked at him for a few seconds. Then, she threw herself into his arms and wrapped her arms around his waist. She rubbed her chin against his chest and looked up at him.”Teacher Jiang, why are you so nice?”
jiang che looked at her and laughed.”it’s done?”
“yes, yes.” she smiled and nodded.
“then, miss shi, your standards are really low. you’re also exceptionally easy to coax.”
shi yan didn’t respond to his words. she hugged him and didn’t let go, even smiling a little foolishly.
Jiang che couldn’t take it anymore. He didn’t care if there were people passing by occasionally and lowered his head to kiss her.
