Chapter 545
545 He will protect his people
They had called Jiang che over not only because they were a little angry, but also because they hoped that Jiang che would find out about this matter and resolve it as soon as possible. They didn’t want to hear such rumors again.
The Missy of the Shi family snatching a man’s marriage
even if in the future, due to the pressure from the fifth master jiang and the shi family, few people would dare to spread rumors and gossip, but they didn’t want their sister to suffer such grievances!
“The three of you wouldn’t have invited an unfamiliar young lady over alone for no reason. I think the rumor that young master Shi mentioned earlier is related to this lady.”
Seeing Jiang che looking at her, the girl’s face turned pale in an instant.
His body swayed.
“I, I don’t know. I just heard it from someone at a banquet in the capital a few days ago. I didn’t spread it. I, Qianqian, blame my cheap mouth. When I heard people mention fifth master Jiang and miss Shi, I couldn’t help but gossip that Qianqian, I didn’t mean it, I didn’t mean it, Qianqian.”
“what kind of banquet was it, and what kind of rumors did you hear? please tell me in detail.”
His eyes were calm, his expression was gentle, and his voice was clear and gentle. there was no anger, and it could even be said that his attitude was very good. he didn’t have the slightest intention of using his power to suppress others, but it inexplicably made people tremble in fear.
The girl didn’t feel any less afraid because of his gentle attitude. Instead, she became even more panicked.
he trembled and told her what he knew, not daring to hide anything.
The banquet was held five days ago. It was a charity dinner jointly organized by several well-known families in the capital.
when someone talked about this at the banquet, the girl had also heard it secretly.
It was said that the capital’s Jiang family had the intention to marry into the Xie family, and the Xie family only had one eldest young lady. The Jiang family was not as powerful as it used to be, so not just anyone in the Jiang family was qualified to marry the Xie family’s eldest young lady. In terms of status and ability, only the fifth Lord Jiang met the standards.
it was also said that someone had seen the old master and old madam of the jiang family meeting with the eldest miss of the xie family in private, and the marriage was already set in stone.
Although he was dressed very well, few people dared to talk about fifth Lord Jiang in public. They only talked about him in private. naturally, not many people really believed it, and they only used it as a topic of discussion before and after tea.
“Jiang … Fifth Lord Jiang, I … I only know this much. It … It really has nothing to do with me. I … I won’t dare to gossip anymore. Please be magnanimous and don’t … Don’t hold it against me.”
“I, I have always thought that you and Ms. Shi are the best match, be it in terms of looks or temperament. I was worried that Ms. Shi would be bullied by the Xie family because she has no status or background. Now that I know that she has the protection of her brother’s family, I can rest assured.”
the last sentence was added by the girl in a flash of inspiration. she had a strong desire to survive.
The girls were afraid of death.
Especially when Jiang Che’s gaze swept over her, her entire heart was in her throat.
Seeing Jiang Xi wave his hand, he stood up and left as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He thanked her again and again, and even knocked on the low table in front of him twice when he left because his legs were soft.
“fifth lord jiang, qianqian, and qianqian, please rest assured. i will never disclose a word about what happened just now to anyone!”
it meant that he would not reveal shi yan’s identity.
” there’s no smoke without fire. the jiang family’s old master and old madam wouldn’t have met eldest miss xie in private without evidence. i hope that fifth lord jiang can investigate this matter and deal with it cleanly. ”
This was the first thing Shi boyu said after he sat down.
he looked at jiang che and continued, ” the daughter of the shi family doesn’t need an arranged marriage. we only agree to yanyan being with the fifth lord because you are the one she chose. we respect her choice. it has nothing to do with your status. ”
Shi boxiao also said, ” we don’t care about the Jiang family’s dispute. We only care about Yanyan. If this matter was really deliberately done by your Jiang family and the fifth master Jiang can’t do it, we don’t mind personally dealing with Wanwan.
“No need.” Jiang che interrupted him.
“If I can’t even handle such a small matter and still need your help, then I’m not worthy of keeping miss Shi by my side.”
“we naturally believe in fifth lord jiang’s abilities. in that case, we’ll wait for his good news.” Shi poran raised his glass to Jiang che.
Jiang Xun picked up his glass and replied.
he didn’t say anything more about this matter.
As he drank, his eyes, which were covered by his eyelids, flashed with a fierce look.
They even dared to have ideas about his marriage. It seemed that the lesson they had given them before was not enough!
Jiang Che’s toast directly exposed the ring on his finger. At a glance, it was obvious that it was a pair with Shi Yan’s.
Sweeping a glance at Jiang Che’s ring, Shi poran took a small sip of wine and said, ” “i heard from my younger sister that she accepted the fifth lord’s proposal.”
Following his line of sight to look at the ring, Jiang Che’s right hand landed on the ring and rubbed it. A smile seemed to flash in his eyes, and his gaze became gentler.”Yes, I’m very lucky.”
he was lucky to have met miss shi, to have fallen in love with her, to have agreed to his proposal and was willing to spend the rest of his life with her.
” there’s a lot to prepare. the engagement party is set to be held in three months. by then, miss shi will be on her summer break. ”
even the date of the engagement had been set, but the bride’s family had no idea!
The three of them looked at Jiang che with unfriendly gazes.
Jiang che wasn’t afraid and didn’t feel guilty at all. He said bluntly, ” I didn’t intend to hide this from Ms. Shi’s family. The invitation to the engagement party is already being prepared and will be sent to the Shi family’s mansion.
” fifth lord jiang also said that you’re yanyan’s family. you’ve already set the date for your engagement party, but you’re only sending us invitations. does fifth lord jiang think this is within the rules? ” shi bozhen was already furious.
this is just my initial plan. The May Day holiday is coming soon. I was planning to take miss Shi out for a walk then, and the destination will most likely be the capital.
Jiang Che’s attitude towards Shi Boxian had always been better than towards the rest of the Shi family. After all, Shi Bozhen had left home for Shi Yan for nine years and had not officially returned to the Shi family.
“it’s my suggestion. miss shi won’t refuse. When they reached the capital, it would be up to miss Shi to decide whether they would return to the Shi family. if she’s willing to return to the shi family, i’ll naturally have to discuss with the shi family about the engagement party. If she doesn’t want to come back, I can also give her a grand wedding. I won’t let her suffer.”
“Just like what you said, she agreed to our relationship only because I’m the one chosen by miss Shi herself. It has nothing to do with my status. when i was pursuing her, she was just a little girl who was temporarily living in the jiang family in sea city and had no one to rely on. ”
“To be fair, I don’t really want the Shi family to interfere in our marriage. But you’re miss Shi’s family and I know she cares about you. with your blessings and participation in our wedding, miss shi will definitely be very happy. hence, i’m willing to try my best to get miss shi to return to the shi family before the engagement banquet.”
It was no secret that the fifth Lord Jiang had fallen out with the Jiang clan three years ago, abandoned his position as the head of the Jiang clan, and left the capital. He had not returned to the capital for the next three years.
the capital was not a place he was willing to return to.
He was willing to return to the capital for Yanyan.
The three brothers of the Shi family could see his sincerity and his feelings for Shi Yan. The anger that they had felt from him setting the engagement date on his own accord slowly dissipated.
