Chapter 458
458 no other reason than to feel at ease
“i’m fine. thank you for your concern.” When Shi Yan came back to her senses, her expression was no different from before. She smiled and was polite.
although he had seen the scene just now, dou chao did not seem to have any intention of asking. he just smiled and said,”it’s good that you are fine. It’s a holiday tomorrow and student Shi is still in school. Are you planning to leave tomorrow?”
“i’m going back to the dormitory to pack my luggage.”
This meant that he would be leaving the school today.
Dou Chao understood.
I remember that your classmate’s house is a little far from Haicheng. The scenery there is not bad, and you went to her house during the long holiday. She shouldn’t be leaving school today, right? ”
Shi Yan looked at Dou Chao with a smile.
Or rather, it was only now that she began to seriously size up this Dou Chao.
it had to be said that people who could enter the basketball club were not too bad in height and body shape. although they were not the most outstanding among the crowd, they were definitely not bad. moreover, they were admitted to haicheng university, so they were also considered excellent.
Was he after Ren Kexin?
shi yan realized that she had become more gossipy after this semester.
“I think so. Is student Dou looking for her for something?”
it’s nothing urgent, ” Dou chaoxiao said with a smile. I just thought that the winter vacation is going to be long, so I want to go out with a few friends to play for a few days. I heard that the place you’re going to on the 11th has a good view, so I’m going to ask student Ren about it.
” then you’ll have to hurry, student dou. kexin will probably leave school tomorrow. ”
alright. Thank you for your reminder, student Shi.
shi yan didn’t say anything more. with a smile, her eyes swept from him to gu tan, who had been silent all this time. her eyes only stayed on his face for half a second before she withdrew. she nodded and walked past them in the direction of the dormitory.
Looking at her back as she walked away, Dou Chao said with a slight sigh,”Student Shi is really not simple. I heard her calling that old lady ‘grandmother’ from afar. not everyone’s grandmother would dare to take someone away in public so arrogantly. student shi’s family background must be more powerful than we thought!”
“Brainiac, why don’t you look surprised?”
“i’ve never been interested in other people’s private affairs. Besides, I’m just classmates with her. Her family background has nothing to do with me. Don’t think too much about it. That’s a level that we can’t reach. We just have to treat student Shi as an ordinary student.”
Dou Zhao glanced at him and smiled.”That’s true. Let’s go, Liu Qi and the others should have already ordered the dishes.”
when shi yan returned to the dormitory, jiang che was already waiting for her.
The car was parked in an inconspicuous spot, but Shi Yan could still see it at a glance.
jiang che probably didn’t want to attract too much attention, so he didn’t get out of the car. however, when she saw his car parked there, shi yan’s eyes lit up and she ran over quickly.
As soon as she walked over, the window of the driver’s seat rolled down and Shi Yan leaned on it. “Didn’t I tell you to wait for me at the apartment? why are you here?”
The first thing he saw was her smiling face. Jiang Che’s gaze instantly softened and he leaned over to give her a Peck between her eyebrows.”i’m afraid you’ll have to bring a lot of things. i don’t have much to do anyway.”
He cupped her face with one hand, his thumb gently caressing her delicate face. “didn’t you already have your meal? Why are you back so late?”
“i met an acquaintance on the way and was delayed.”
“who did you meet?”
jiang che couldn’t be blamed for not guessing that she had met a member of the shi family. now, when shi yan met a member of the shi family again, other than being stunned for a moment at the beginning, she didn’t feel much other emotions after she came back to her senses. at least, she wouldn’t be emotionally affected as much as before.
Shi Yan tilted her head slightly and rubbed her face against his palm, acting a little coquettishly.
“The Gu Yuanyuan and Wanwan that I met at the hot spring resort last time, my grandmother.”
The hand that was caressing her face paused slightly. Jiang che was a little worried, but seeing that her expression didn’t change much, he slowly relaxed.
“your grandmother?”
yes, he said that he wanted to have a meal with me after my exam. He just happened to meet Gu Yuanyuan who was looking for trouble with me, so he took her away. He asked me to come to Jade Restaurant at five o ‘clock tomorrow afternoon.
shi yan had nothing to hide from jiang che.
“Do you want me to go with you tomorrow?”
he didn’t ask if she agreed because there was no need to.
shi yan’s face was pressed against his palm as she leaned against the car window and looked up at him.”Do you want to go with me?”
“If you want me to keep you company, I’ll do it.”
okay, then you can come with me. Wait for me in the backyard after you get there.
Seeing her grandmother again after so many years, Shi Yan did not intend to bring Jiang che to her right now, but she wanted Jiang che to go with her.
She was at ease with him around. That was all.
“Alright,” he said.
jiang che didn’t have any objections to her not bringing him along. She had her own arrangements and plans, and he completely respected her in these matters.
“Go and pack your things, I’ll wait for you here.”
“yes.”
” mr. jiang, we said that we would stay in haicheng for a few days before going to crescent bay after the holiday. let’s go there in advance. ”
alright, I’ll arrange my things tomorrow. We’ll leave the day after tomorrow.
Shi Yan took his hand and rubbed it against his palm for a while. She narrowed her eyes and smiled before letting go of his hand.
teacher jiang really didn’t have any principles if he followed her like this.
however, she liked it very much.
When she returned to the dormitory, the other three were packing up.
“Shi Yan, you’re back!” ren kexin was the first to see her. ” i’m almost done packing. do you have a lot of things to pack? ” Do you need my help?”
” no need. i only brought a few clothes and a few books. i’ll be done in no time. ” After a pause, Shi Yan looked at Ren Kexin. Kexin, are you close to Dou Chao? ”
“dou chao?” it took ren kexin a while to realize who this person was. ” is it the one who often walks with the top student gu from our school’s journalism department? ”
Shi Yan nodded.
I can’t say I’m familiar with him. I only know that there’s such a person. Why are you suddenly asking me this? ”
“It’s nothing.” He smiled and shook his head.
” we met on the road just now. he asked me if you’re leaving school today. he said that he heard that we went to your hometown on the 11th and found out that the scenery there was pretty good. he planned to go with a few friends during the winter break and wanted to ask you. i thought you two were close. ”
“we’re not close, we haven’t even talked much. however, he thought of inviting his friends to our place to play. he has good taste! Because of this, if he asks me, I’ll definitely tell him everything I know!”
Shi Yan smiled without saying anything.
The few of them continued to pack up.
That night, Shi Yan and Jiang che did not stay in the apartment. They returned to the apartment to take the things that Jiang che had packed and returned to the Jiang family’s old residence.
At around nine O ‘clock in the evening, in the Presidential Suite of a hotel in Haicheng.
in the living room.
one of them was tied up, gagged, and thrown in a corner. two bodyguards were standing in the living room, and two people were sitting on the sofa. one was an old man who was over 50 years old, and the other was a young man who was about 25 or 26 years old.
They were all expressionless and dignified.
they were the shi family’s first wife, xie xi n, and the shi family’s third young master, shi boyu.
