Chapter 296
296 chapter 296: invitation card and meeting
“Who did you just say was calling?”
Jiang che was still dealing with work in the study of the apartment when he received a call from Jiang Lin.
jiang che had not been staying in the bamboo garden recently. the jiang family’s old residence was far from haicheng university. as jiang che’s assistant, jiang lin naturally would not be too far away from him.
Jiang Lin had also bought a temporary residence near Haicheng University.
They weren’t at the Jiang family’s old mansion, so the invitation card naturally wouldn’t reach them so quickly.
it was butler jiang hai who had called jiang lin after receiving the invitation. coincidentally, jiang lin’s phone had run out of battery, so he only found out later that someone had sent an invitation to the jiang family’s old residence.
“Xie Heng, the head of the Xie family.”
Jiang che sat in front of the desk, his fingers lightly tapping on the table.
It was interesting that Xie Heng gave him a visiting card.
Was it because his previous declaration of sovereignty had an effect and Xie Heng knew about him and miss Shi, so he came to meet him?
other than this, jiang che could not think of any other reason.
He did not have much interaction with Xie Heng.
at the end of the day, it was jiang che who had never expected that xie heng would not know about these things until now.
If Xie Heng had returned to the capital earlier, he would not have rushed to Haicheng to deal with his work. If he had paid more attention to the outside world, it was impossible for him not to know about these things that had been spreading around.
“Fifth Lord, do you want to see him?”
“Clan head Xie personally paid a visit, so naturally, you have to see him.”
if it was anyone else, jiang che might not necessarily meet them. but this person was xie heng, so it was necessary to meet him.
Xie Heng was someone who had almost become his miss Shi’s fiancé.
“Give him a reply. I’m free in the morning the day after tomorrow.”
in fact, he was free at any time. it was just that he had said that he would treat miss shi’s brother and sister to a meal tomorrow, so he naturally had to make time.
shi yan had no idea what had happened here.
not long after xie heng left, qu boye arrived.
his driver sent him over and got out of the car, fully armed. if he hadn’t spoken first, shi yan probably wouldn’t have recognized him even if he stood in front of her.
“yanyan, why don’t you go in first?”
shi yan glanced at the tightly wrapped qu pocheng and saw the passers-by giving him strange looks from time to time. she thought to herself that being too famous might not be a good thing. look at him, he was like a thief when he went out.
“Let’s bask in the sun for a while and go in first.”
If he stayed any longer, she was afraid that he would be treated as a bad person and be attacked by passers-by.
As soon as the two of them entered the restaurant, someone followed them in.
“Sister Yan,”
The young man who was smiling brightly at Shi Yan was none other than Shi Bochen.
He only greeted Shi Yan and glanced at Qu Bo, as if he didn’t recognize him at all. He didn’t give him another look, completely ignoring him.
Qu Boyan,”Yingluo.”
this kid was clearly doing it on purpose!
The older he grew, the less likable he became. As expected, his younger sister was more likable.
“What is sister Yan doing here?”
it was like an opening remark after a chance encounter, as if it was really a coincidence that he had met shi yan here.
Shi Yan didn’t expose him. She smiled and said,”I’m meeting someone for dinner, what about you?”
“I’m here for dinner too, but I’m alone.” When he said this, he didn’t deliberately act pitiful, but it made people feel that he was a little pitiful.
shi yan looked at him deeply and said with a smile, ” “Since you’re alone, do you want to come with us?”
shi bochen looked at the faint smile on shi yan’s face and was stunned for a moment.
Did his sister’s attitude towards him change for the better?
no, no, you can’t say that. his sister’s attitude towards him had always been very good, but that didn’t mean they were close.
She was actually a little distant from him.
But now, she seemed to be less distant from him?
What was the reason that his sister was not as distant from him as before?
because of second brother?
at the thought of this, shi bochen was extremely jealous.
“Will I be disturbing you?”
Qu Boyan looked at him in disdain.
little brat, what are you pretending for?
Seeing that Shi Yan didn’t answer and just looked at him, qu Bocheng held his breath and reluctantly said, ” “No, since we’ve met, let’s go together!”
Then, Shi Bochen looked at qu Boyan and exclaimed, ” I think this gentleman’s voice sounds familiar. Have we met before? ”
Qu Boyan,”Yingluo.”
“hehe.”
this “hehe” fully reflected qu pocheng’s mood.
they were both calm and steady people, but when they met, they suddenly became childish.
for a moment, shi yan was in a daze. it was as if after so many years, everyone was still the same and had not changed much.
however, her emotions came quickly and disappeared quickly. she said, ” “Let’s enter the private room first.”
as soon as she spoke, the two brothers'” daggers drawn “immediately stopped.
The three of them were led into a quiet private room by the waiter.
Qu Boyan took off his hoodie, baseball cap, sunglasses, and mask.
” no wonder i thought the voice sounded familiar. i was wondering who it was. it turns out to be second brother! ”
“don’t be so weird, you little brat. i’m afraid you’ll find out as soon as i arrive in sea city. You’re deliberately blocking here to disturb me and Yanyan’s alone time, you think I don’t know?”
shi yan,”yingluo.”
this wasn’t how one should spend their time alone.
“second brother is so capable. he’s at the top of the entertainment industry and has created a legend in the entertainment industry with his own strength. he has countless fans and his own business. How can I hide from second brother’s eyes with my little fight?”
“it’s been nine years since we last met. you brat, you’ve grown a lot in your enigmatic way of speaking.”
“It is difficult for second older brother to still remember that we had not seen each other for nine years. That year, you were in a daze.”
at this point, shi bochen suddenly remembered that shi yan was still around and stopped talking.
qu pochen also realized that it was inappropriate to say this in front of shi yan. after all, shi yan was the one who had suffered the most back then.
what happened that year was a scar for them, and even more so for shi yan.
Seeing that they had suddenly quieted down, Shi Yan acted as if she didn’t feel anything. She smiled and asked,”Have you ordered?”
“i’ve ordered it.”
when qu pocheng saw shi yan’s nonchalant expression, he felt a little suffocated, so much so that his voice was a little muffled when he responded.
She knew that Shi Yan was not very particular about food and that it was fine as long as there was food, so she ordered first.
He had expected Shi Bochen to be there, so when he had ordered the private room, he had also ordered Shi Bochen’s share.
“Are you hungry? it’ll probably take a while for the dishes to be served.”
“It’s alright, there’s no rush.” shi yan said.
usually, school would just end at this time, so he wasn’t too hungry.
Shi Bochen did not mind that qu Boyan only asked about Shi Yan and did not care about him at all. He looked as if he was already used to it.
“Didn’t you say that you’re a little tired from preparing for the mid-term exams? did you rest well? You don’t seem to have much energy.” qu pocheng looked at shi yan.
shi yan’s expression did not change. she smiled calmly.”Maybe I’m a little sleepy from the sun.”
“sister yan, you don’t have to put so much pressure on yourself.” shi bochen suddenly said.
After traveling together, Shi Bochen was more familiar with Shi Yan’s roommates and Jiang Rui, so he naturally knew more about Shi Yan than qu Boxin.
