Chapter 430
430 a chance encounter downstairs
On the way back, song Meilian said that she was afraid that Jing Xuan would be hungry at night, so she brought him some supper, saying that she would keep it warm at home.
seeing this, shi yan had originally planned to bring some for jiang che, but she suddenly remembered that there were still many ingredients in the refrigerator at home. if jiang che was hungry at night, she could personally cook for him. her cooking would definitely be better than the ones bought outside. thus, she gave up the idea of bringing supper.
when the two of them arrived at the entrance of the community, a car suddenly stopped in front of them, and a person got out of the car. He was an acquaintance, but they hadn’t seen each other for a while.
“Ah ning, miss Shi.”
She was ye Chengcheng, song Meilian’s cousin.
song meilian didn’t expect to see her here, and was stunned for a moment.”Cousin.”
“Miss ye,” Shi Yan also nodded in greeting.
” i had some work to discuss here and was about to drive home when i saw two people walking by the road. i thought it looked like you two, so i followed them. i didn’t expect it to really be you two. ” ye chengcheng said with a smile.
“it’s so late, what are you guys doing here? There aren’t many people on this road, and it’s night time. It’s not safe for you two girls. Where are you going? i’ll send you guys.”
ever since the yu family’s banquet, ye chengcheng had realized that she couldn’t interfere in the relationship between jing xuan and song meilian. she had never seen them again and had been busy with work.
It was a coincidence that they met here tonight.
“No need, we’re here.” Song Meilian looked at the gate of the community in front of her.
“Are you here to find someone or are you staying here?”
other things aside, ye chengcheng saw song meilian as her younger sister. she would not feel at ease if she did not ask about the two girls coming here alone in the middle of the night.
“I’ll stay here.” song meilian replied.
Live here?
“then you should hurry in.” he smiled.
the two nodded. song meilian said, ” cousin, you should go back early too. drive safely. ”
“Alright,” he said.
As the two of them walked into the neighborhood, ye Chengcheng suddenly called out to song Meilian, ” “ah ning!”
“is there anything else, cousin?”
“it’s nothing important. i just wanted to tell you that the ye family has an overseas branch company that i’ll take over in two days. i’ll probably stay for a few years before coming back, and i don’t know when we’ll meet again. Don’t worry, I won’t tell them who you are. I’ll only say that you’re a junior that I’m close to.”
song meilian had wanted to reject her outright, but when she saw the hope in ye chengcheng’s eyes, she hesitated for a moment before saying, ” “okay, thank you, cousin.”
“cousin, you have to take care of yourself when you’re out alone.”
“Yeah, you too.”
“Also, you and Jing Zhenzhen, aunt Jing may be mean to you, but she can’t make the decision. If she says something mean to you, just pretend you didn’t hear it. if she goes too far, you can tell master jing and let him handle it. don’t take it all on yourself.”
Song Meilian knew that ye Chengcheng had liked Jing Xuan for many years. She knew that ye Chengcheng must have felt terrible when she said those words to her.
Her heart also felt a little uncomfortable.
“Yingluo will do. Thank you, cousin.”
Ye Chengcheng smiled and waved at them. “Alright, hurry up and go in.”
“Goodbye, cousin,” song Meilian looked at her deeply.
he turned around and walked into the community with shi yan.
after that, song meilian remained silent. shi yan looked at her for a moment before looking away and continuing to walk without a word.
although there were still people in the ye family, ye chengcheng was probably the only one who treated song meilian as family. coincidentally, the two of them were love rivals. it was one thing for her to be a love rival, but ye chengcheng had decided to leave the country after taking the initiative to withdraw. he did not know when they would meet again.
song meilian must be feeling very bad.
It wasn’t appropriate to say anything at this time.
after walking quietly for a while, song meilian spoke first, ” ” actually, i’d rather she wasn’t so nice to me. i also hope that she can take the initiative to fight for it. it doesn’t matter if she’s ruthless. ”
“it’s not a bad thing for her to be like this.” Shi Yan said.
“let you go, and let herself go.”
there were not many people who could be as carefree as ye chengcheng when it came to relationships, especially when it came to such deep feelings. there were even fewer people who could distinguish between a love rival and a sister as clearly as she did.
Shi Yan had some admiration for ye Chengcheng.
to be honest, if this kind of thing were to happen to her, she might not be as free and easy as ye chengcheng. after all, she was the kind of person who was determined to win over someone.
“I don’t feel guilty towards her, because even if she fights for it, I won’t give Jing Xuan to her. but i don’t know why, but seeing her like this, i still can’t help but feel a little sad.”
“it’s only human nature.” Shi Yan said.
“She’s already left so easily, so you don’t have to be too conflicted. There’s still a long way to go in life. She might meet the right person for her at any time. it was better for her to be like this than to trap herself. Trapping herself in a relationship that is destined to have no results will only delay her from meeting the right person.”
as she mulled over shi yan’s words, song meilian suddenly felt relieved.
“You’re right, this might be good for her.”
Seeing that she was finally no longer entangled in this matter, Shi Yan changed the topic. ” your new work has been released for some time. i’ve been a little busy recently and didn’t pay attention. how’s your new work after it’s released? ”
it’s not bad. It already has a basic reader base, and the new work has been prepared for a long time. It’s more in-depth than the previous one, and the things involved are more extensive. It’s only been released for two weeks, and we can already see the obvious results.
“i’ll have to go take a look when i’m free.”
sure, but there’s no hurry. You have a lot of work to do, so you should take more time to rest. I estimate that it will take at least three years to finish this book. It won’t be too late to read it when you’re not so focused on your studies.
“My studies aren’t that important.” Shi Yan said with a smile.
she could still find some time to relax.
alright, you can go and take a look when you’re free. Just treat it as a leisure trip.
In fact, she really hoped that Shi Yan could go and take a look. In terms of historical knowledge, she didn’t understand it as well as Shi Yan. She had to ask Shi Yan for help before she could write. If Shi Yan could look at it, she would be able to find any loopholes that she hadn’t discovered. It would be easier for her to fix them.
“Alright,” he said.
the two of them chatted and laughed as they arrived at the apartment.
Just as she was about to enter the apartment building, she was stopped by someone.”Shi Yan.”
He turned around and saw a man wearing silly glasses and carrying a school bag standing under the streetlight a few steps away.
Shi Yan’s eyes were fixed on his face for half a second, and she nodded with a smile.”Student Gu.”
“Student song.” gu tan held his glasses and politely greeted song meilian.
The two of them were the first to enter the academy, and they often met in school, so song Meilian naturally knew Gu Tan.
“student gu.”
“what is gu yusheng doing here?” song meilian asked.
” i’m a private tutor. the students ‘homes are here. ”
“so, student gu, are you going back after tutoring?”
“yes, i am.” He looked at them and asked, ” are you two here to be private tutors as well? ”
