Chapter 408
408 Fifth Lord went to see his father-in-law
Unlike the others, Shi Bochen went to look for Shi Yan after school in the afternoon after receiving the gift.
“sister yan, why did you suddenly give me a present?”
He ran over from afar, waving the gift box in his hand as he ran.
His youthful appearance made everyone realize that he was only seventeen years old.
usually, he was cold and quiet, full of coldness, not at all like a seventeen-year-old teenager.
They had travelled together and often ate together in the school canteen. Shi Yan’s roommates and Shi Bochen had become familiar with each other.
Seeing Shi Bochen running towards them, Ren Kexin couldn’t help but tease him, ” “What gift? I can’t believe you’re so excited.”
“It’s a limited edition, my sister gave it to me!” Shi Bochen opened the gift box to show off. Inside lay a limited edition Car model.
Shi Bochen did not play games. Instead, he liked to collect all kinds of limited edition car models.
“i just happened to see it and thought you might like it, so i bought it.” shi yan said.
“It’s not as simple as buying it after seeing it. I’ve been staring at this model for a long time and asked many friends to buy it, but they couldn’t. Sister Yan, you must have spent a lot of effort to get it. ”
Shi Bochen knew his stuff, and Shi Yan had never thought that she would hide it from her.
she was the one who suggested the gift, but she asked tang fu to prepare it for her.
It was Tang Fu’s ability to get all these. It had nothing to do with her.
speaking of asking tang fu to help her prepare the gift, when she received her call, tang fu was so excited that she jumped up. she even heard the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.
it was night time, so she guessed that tang fu was in the dormitory. he was probably sitting in front of the desk when he stood up and hit the bed on the ceiling.
She asked what was wrong, but Tang Fu said that he was fine. He even said in a sad tone, ” “Miss Shi, you’ve finally given me instructions. I’m finally of some use, Yingluo.”
after speaking bitterly for a long time, she asked shi yan what gifts she needed to prepare. shi yan gave her a general direction and she promised that she would do it well.
She had indeed done a good job.
“it’s good that you like it,” shi yan said.
“Of course I like it! i really like it!”
Shi Bochen knew that Shi Yan did not simply buy it for him when she happened to see it, but he did not want to delve too deep into it.
he was very happy to receive a gift from shi yan.
that was all he needed to know.
“sister yan, since you gave me a present, i’ll treat you to a meal. i’ll call your friends too.”
the so-called friends of shi yan were just her three roommates and jiang rui.
jiang che said that he had something to do and could not have dinner with shi yan. shi yan then made an appointment with her roommates and called jiang rui along. they were about to have dinner together, so jiang rui was there too.
speaking of jiang rui, they had bumped into each other in the library on tuesday afternoon. she had secretly told shi yan about her success on the night of jiang sheng’s birthday.
At that time, Jiang Rui’s expression was both proud and shy.
Shi Yan congratulated her with a smile.
according to jiang rui, she had made a special trip to the library to find shi yan and share this matter with her.
As for why she had to share it with Shi Yan on Tuesday, it was because Jiang Rui had taken leave on Monday.
jiang rui didn’t tell her the reason for her leave, and shi yan didn’t ask, but she could guess it. She thought to herself that even Jiang che didn’t have such a hard time when he had just started having sex. Jiang Cheng was indeed a year younger and young.
Shi Yan looked at the others.
“I don’t mind. It’s just a meal anyway.” Jiang Rui spread her hands.
“I don’t have any objections either.” song meilian and the other two also said.
as a result, shi bochen joined the group of five girls who were supposed to have a meal together.
On the other side, in the teahouse.
It was the teahouse near Haicheng University, the one where Shi Yan had met Wei chuge last time.
jiang che’s so-called excuse of not being able to accompany shi yan for dinner was actually to meet someone.
The sound of a zither came from behind the screen in the teahouse.
there was a person sitting on the main seat, with jiang che sitting on the first seat to the left.
the distance between the two of them was about two meters.
the person sitting in the main seat looked to be about 50 years old. even though his face had some traces of time, it was not difficult to see that he was a handsome man when he was young.
Jiang che had never seen this person before, but even if he did not reveal his identity, he could roughly guess his identity just by looking at his face.
shi lin, the head of the shi family who had just stepped down, was shi yan’s father!
The call was made directly to Jiang Che’s cell phone. He only said that it was someone from the Shi family and did not say that it was Shi Lin himself, but Jiang che still came to see him.
It was because Shi Yan was from the Shi family.
logically speaking, I should’ve given fifth Lord Jiang a visiting note first before making a phone call to make an appointment. This is somewhat impolite, so I hope fifth Lord Jiang doesn’t take offense.
“it’s fine,” jiang che said.
fifth lord jiang was indeed fifth lord jiang. even in front of his future father-in-law, his aura was not the slightest bit weaker, even if he was sitting at the head of the table.
it wasn’t that he didn’t value shi yan enough, nor that he didn’t respect his future father-in-law enough.
On one hand, he acted this way because of fifth Lord Jiang’s status. Even the old master of the Shi family had to give him some face. His ability and temperament did not allow him to show weakness in front of others. On the other hand, he had some prejudice against Shi Lin, Shi Yan’s biological father.
Jiang che could understand why the other women, who were either young or not in power, could not protect Shi Yan, who was only ten years old.
as a father, shi lin let his ten-year-old daughter face the family’s coercion alone and had no choice but to leave home. in jiang che’s opinion, it was shi lin’s dereliction of duty as a father.
” i know very well why the shi family head wants to see me. if you have something to say, please say it. ”
He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. His movements were elegant, and his every move was noble.
Shi Lin saw this and retracted his gaze without a sound.
He also picked up his teacup and took a sip. I just wanted to see what kind of person my daughter has taken a fancy to. Fifth Lord Jiang is indeed the fifth Lord. He’s a dragon among men.
“My daughter has good taste.”
They were both in the capital, so it was impossible that Shi Lin had not seen Jiang che before. They had not had much interaction, but he had seen him from a distance at the banquet.
this was the first time they had officially met.
it was also shi lin’s first time sizing up jiang che at such a close distance.
“Shi family head, you’re too kind.”
as jiang che spoke, he raised an eyebrow on his gentle face, ” “but master shi is right about miss shi’s good taste.”
“Yingluo.” Shi Lin raised his eyes and glanced at him indifferently.
he had heard of the jiang family’s fifth master’s name many times in the capital.
some people praised him for being a gentleman, some people feared his ruthlessness, but they had never heard of his narcissistic nature.
look at how smug he was!
“From what I’ve heard, fifth Lord Jiang, are you saying that my daughter was the one who picked you first?”
It was obvious.
he knew his daughter’s personality very well.
If she had not chosen him, even the famous fifth Lord Jiang of the capital would not have been able to force her to stay.
“no, i chose miss shi first. however, it turns out that miss shi has good taste. she saw my good points and accepted my pursuit.”
Even if it was miss Shi’s father, he would let him know that he was the one who pursued miss Shi.
miss shi was worth pursuing.
moreover, he was the one who was pursuing miss shi. he was not lying.
however, shi lin only believed half of his words.
it had only been a few days since they met and got together.
Compared to how Jiang che had moved Shi Yan in those few days, Shi Lin was more willing to believe that Shi Yan had been interested in Jiang che from the beginning.
They even had to compete for who they liked first. It seemed that no matter how famous and powerful fifth Lord Jiang was, his age was still there. No matter how mature he looked on the outside, he still had the childish nature of a child on the inside.
He had been worried that his daughter would be suppressed by him because he was too strong, but now it seemed that there was no need to worry at all.
When the two of them were together, it was hard to tell who was more mature.
