286 chapter 286 xie heng’s lack of information
shi yan glanced at him and said, ” master xie, you don’t have to apologize. this matter was the intention of the elders in the family. it wasn’t your responsibility. you can’t be blamed. ”
Xie Heng looked at her and did not speak for a long time.
he didn’t speak, and shi yan had already greeted him politely, so it wouldn’t be rude if he didn’t say anything more. she nodded slightly at him, walked over, and sat down.
After walking in high heels for a day, her feet were a little tired. She had to wait for people here and there, so it was easier for her to sit than to stand.
xie heng did not leave.
however, he didn’t sit down. instead, he stood there and looked at shi yan.”No matter what, I am responsible for this. Now that I think about it, it can’t make up for anything. If you need my help in the future, just let me know, miss Shi Yan.”
Shi Yan didn’t respond to his words, but said indifferently, ” “Thank you for your kind words, patriarch.”
“Miss Shi Yan, has Zhenzhen been living in this small town all these years?”
shi yan was a little surprised to hear his question.
news of her and jiang che’s relationship in haicheng had spread like wildfire, so it should have reached the capital long ago. Even if others did not know that the person beside Jiang che was her, with Xie Heng’s ability, when he heard those rumors, even if he did not investigate it in detail, he should have linked it to the Shi family and her.
Seeing the surprise in Shi Yan’s eyes, Xie Heng explained,”i’m responsible for miss shi yan’s departure. i’ve been sending people to find you all these years, and i want to apologize to you in person. Unfortunately, the Shi family has hidden your information very well. Even I can’t find any traces of you, only roughly knowing that you’re in a remote place far from the capital.”
this small town was very far from the capital, and could be considered a remote place.
“I’m sorry for investigating miss Shi Yan’s whereabouts without her permission.”
over the years, many people had investigated her whereabouts, but shi yan didn’t care much.
with the shi family obstructing them, no one could find out.
She just felt a little strange. She didn’t expect Xie Heng to be so out of touch with the news. It seemed like he thought she had been living in this small town all these years and had never left Xuanji.
” it’s fine. there are many people tracking my whereabouts. thank you, patriarch. there aren’t many. ”
“But I haven’t been living here all these years. He’s here for a vacation with his roommates. One of my roommates is from here.”
since someone had asked, she couldn’t refuse to answer. it wasn’t something she couldn’t say.
“Travel? with your roommates?” a touch of surprise flashed in xie heng’s long and beautiful eyes.
However, he quickly retracted his emotions and returned to his expressionless self.
” i had an accident not long ago and had to recuperate in this town for three months. it was not convenient for me to reveal my whereabouts, so i did not know much about the outside world. i did not know that miss shi yan had entered university. ”
she went to school step by step. it was indeed time for her to enter the university campus this year.
However, he had always thought that she had either skipped a grade and completed her studies long ago, or she was content with staying in a corner and not going to college.
he thought that she would avoid everyone for the rest of her life.
shi yan didn’t respond to his words to change the topic to her. she just showed her concern out of courtesy.”is clan head xie injured? are you alright?”
” it’s not a fatal injury. i’ve almost recovered after three months of recuperation. thank you for your concern, miss shi yan. ”
when xie heng said this, the way he looked at shi yan was somewhat different.
However, it wasn’t obvious and disappeared in a flash. Even Shi Yan didn’t catch it.
“It’s good that you’re fine.”
looking around, xie heng didn’t see anyone who seemed to be her companion. he couldn’t help but ask,”since you’re traveling with your classmates, why don’t i see miss shi yan alone?”
“They’re taking pictures on the city wall.”
xie heng didn’t ask her why she didn’t follow.
she had a quiet personality, and he was already surprised that she could travel with her classmates. it was normal for her not to join in the fun.
“If you don’t mind me asking, which university does miss Shi Yan attend?”
It was definitely not Capital University.
Otherwise, even if he was ill-informed, it was impossible for him to not have any news at all.
It was just that it was not appropriate for him to contact the outside world during this period of time, but it was not that he did not have any contact with the outside world at all.
” haicheng university. ” shi yan answered.
xie heng didn’t know that what happened in the outside world was because of his injury. when he wasn’t afraid of leaking his whereabouts, it would be easy to find out which school she was in.
She had nothing to hide.
haicheng university?
The SU family was in Haicheng, and the First Lady of the Shi family had also studied at Haicheng University. It was not surprising that she would choose Haicheng University.
“So you’re at Haicheng University. When you go to Haicheng, I’ll be miss Shi Yan again to show my sincerity in apologizing.”
Shi Yan only took his words as polite.
“thank you for your kind words, patriarch.”
At this moment, the mobile phone in Shi Yan’s bag rang.
after apologizing to xie heng, shi yan picked up the phone. it was ren kexin.
I’m not under the city wall. I’m in a Pavilion near the river. Are you done filming? ”
“I’ll go find you.”
ren kexin said there was no need, so they came to look for her in case they got lost.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you here. I’ll send you my location.”
Her clear voice was like a trickle of water, with a bit of her usual indifference, but it did not make people feel that her attitude was cold.
Not only was he not cold, but his attitude was even considered warm to her.
she had a good relationship with her classmates.
this was xie heng’s conclusion.
Before the age of ten, the young lady of the Shi family was very quiet and did not have the impetuousness that children of her age should have. her favorite thing to do was to sit down and read quietly. other than a few juniors of the shi family, there were almost no children of the same age who were close to her.
in other words, she didn’t have many friends.
She didn’t seem to have any interest in making friends.
he was clearly not an unsociable person, but his lifestyle was similar to that of an unsociable child.
even the shi family did not know how she was raised to be so calm and quiet. they only said that she had been like this since she was a child.
after she hung up, xie heng said, ” since miss shi yan’s companions are coming, i won’t disturb you any longer. how long do you plan to stay in this town? ”
“My roommate’s travel guide said it’s the day before the holiday ends.”
there were still a few days left.
xie heng’s eyes moved slightly,”i also plan to leave after the holiday. if i can find time at that time, i’d like to ask miss shi yan out for a meal.” i’ve been living here for three months and i’m already very familiar with this place. i know where the food is better.”
Shi Yan looked up at him and saw that his expression was normal, as if he was just being polite.
she didn’t directly refuse him and said,”thank you for your concern, patriarch.”
“Since that’s the case, I wonder if it’s convenient for miss Shi Yan to leave your contact information? I’ll contact you when I’m done with my work and miss Shi Yan hasn’t left the town yet.”
Shi Yan was silent.
this kasaya
His words weren’t too abrupt, mainly because she didn’t reject him directly when he said he would treat her to a meal if he could.
