Chapter 353
353 chapter 353 making one’s heart ache for no reason
When he received Shi boxiang’s call in the morning, he probably didn’t know about this, but it was hard to say that he didn’t know about it now.
If he had known, Shi boxiao would have mentioned it to miss Shi if he called her now.
“Yanyan, you’re not sleeping, are you?”
She was a little tired and Jiang che had stopped working. Shi Yan simply couldn’t be bothered to put her phone to her ear. She turned on the speaker and placed it on her lap, so Jiang che could hear Shi Boxin’s voice clearly.
“no, i didn’t,”
“jiang che told me about second brother’s phone call this morning. second aunt has indeed come to haicheng. didn’t i send second brother a message about this? you didn’t see it?”
On the day qu Xuan went to school to look for her, Shi Yan had texted Shi boxiao and mentioned that qu Xuan wanted to see him.
” yes, i did. but i’ve been busy these few days and i was afraid that you would be resting when i was free. i thought of you today and thought that it was the weekend, so i had the time to call you. ”
“My mom … Went to school to look for you?”
“Yes.”
“did she give you any trouble?”
Shi Yan said helplessly,”second brother, second aunt is your mother. How can you look at your own mother like this?” Besides, why would second Shen make things difficult for me?”
“Of course I know it’s not good to think of my biological mother like that. My mother has a criminal record.”
That year, not only did he force Yanyan to leave home, but he also blamed Yanyan for him running away from home. Even if he didn’t know the situation at that time, he could guess that when Yanyan personally called him to persuade him to go home, they must have said a lot of unpleasant things to her.
“second brother, hehe.”
Just as she was about to speak, Shi Bozhen interrupted, ” “you don’t have to put in a good word for them. a mistake is a mistake.”
if it was someone else her age, they would probably resent her for life.
” i have a brand promotion event in the morning the day after tomorrow. the director has adjusted my scenes. the day after tomorrow, when the promotion ends, i’ll be free in the afternoon. let my mom know and we can have dinner together. ”
Shi boxiang could have contacted qu Xuan himself, but he didn’t. He wanted Shi Yan to be the middleman and let the second branch know that without Shi Yan, they couldn’t contact him at all and understand Shi Yan’s importance.
“alright,” he said.
third Grandpa should still be in Haicheng, ” Shi Bozhen said after some hesitation. if you’re willing, you can ask him to come along.
Shi Yan knew that Shi Jinlei was still in Haicheng.
just yesterday, shi bochen had sent her a message to tell her that shi jinlei was hosting a private meal with professor li.
shi bochen was not present, so he did not know what they had said. shi yan did not probe further either.
she did not need to probe further to guess why shi jinlei was meeting professor li.
It was nothing more than an official visit to her teacher as an elder, and perhaps she would ask professor li about her past years.
Professor li did not know much about her. Even if he did, he was someone who knew his limits. She was not worried that professor li would tell Shi Jinlei anything.
Besides, she didn’t have anything to hide. She said it, so it didn’t matter.
“Alright,” he said.
seeing that jiang che was looking at her with a complicated look in his eyes, she paused and asked shi boxin, ” “does second brother have anything else to say?”
“no, i’ll tell you when i’ve booked a place. you can tell my mom. it’s late, rest early.”
“Second brother, you too. Rest early.”
After hanging up, Shi Yan looked at Jiang che curiously and asked, ” “Why are you looking at me like that? Do you have something to say?”
The way he looked at her just now was a little complicated. She thought that he knew what Shi Bozhen had to say and that those words might affect her, so he was worried.
jiang che stared at her for a moment, then placed the computer in front of him on the coffee table. he gently carried her over and sat her on his lap.
“i do have something to say.”
Shi Yan was slightly stunned by his solemness.
She closed the book in her hand and waited for him to continue.
“I’ve received some news.” jiang che said.
As he spoke, he wrapped one hand around her back and the other around her waist, holding her in a protective posture.
His expression and tone were solemn.
Shi Yan wasn’t a stupid person. He was so serious, as if he was afraid that she would be affected. She had already guessed this news.
He subconsciously tightened his grip on the book in his hand.
“what news?”
She would find out sooner or later. Rather than letting her find out from somewhere else, it would be better for him to tell her personally. At least, he would be by her side and could comfort her in time.
“Your mother came to Haicheng yesterday. She’s with the SU family now.”
as soon as he finished speaking, jiang che clearly felt the little girl in his arms stiffen.
Jiang che only told her the news and didn’t intend to say much.
seeing her freeze, his expression was slightly startled.
Sighing in his heart, he took the book from her hand and put it aside. Then, he held her waist with both hands and lifted her gently, making her sit on his lap instead of sitting sideways.
He wrapped his arms around her waist. Ms. Shi, the air conditioner is off. It’s a little cold at night. Can you give me a hug? ”
Shi Yan was stunned for a moment. She raised her hands and hugged him tightly, burying her face in his neck. “Mr. Jiang, you’re so delicate,” she said in a muffled voice after a few seconds.
Jiang che looked down at her and stroked her long hair. He softly replied, ” “yes, i’m very delicate, so ms. shi, you have to hold me tightly.”
She hugged him even tighter.
she just buried her head in his neck and didn’t speak.
she didn’t speak, and jiang che didn’t make a sound either. he only held her tightly and gently stroked her long hair.
after a long while, a muffled voice came from his neck.”Jiang che.”
“What?”
He didn’t stop her from talking.
jiang che didn’t rush him and waited quietly.
After a while, her muffled voice came again, ” “i feel a little uncomfortable.”
“it shouldn’t be like this. i didn’t feel bad in the past, so i don’t know why it’s like this now. This isn’t a big deal. I’ve never cared about this.”
“Miss Shi, I’m here.” He hugged her tighter.
in front of me, you don’t have to control your emotions at all. If you’re happy, you’re happy. If you’re sad, you’re sad. I’ll be by your side. What are you afraid of? ”
The person in his arms did not say anything, but hugged him even tighter.
She wasn’t someone who would cry. At least until now, Jiang che had never seen her cry.
At this moment, he felt that his neck was a little wet and hot.
There was no sound, only the hot and wet drops of water falling on his neck.
Jiang Che’s heart ached.
” miss shi, this is the only time. my heart won’t be able to take it if it happens again. ”
No one said anything after that. Jiang che held her in his arms until she fell asleep, then he carried her back to the room.
He gently tucked her in, got up, and went to the bathroom to get a handkerchief, dipped it in hot water, and wiped her face. Seeing her red and swollen eyes, Jiang Zhi’s eyes were full of love.
His actions were very light.
After wiping her face, he leaned over and planted a kiss on her eyes.
as expected of miss shi. even though she could not hold back her emotions, she did not cry or shout. for nearly an hour, she did not even make a sound. she only silently wet his collar.
How old is she? why is she so strong?
It made one’s heart ache for no reason.
