Chapter 546
546 Acknowledge this brother-in-law
however, jiang che’s confidence in saying that shi yan would agree to his suggestion of returning to the capital still made the three of them very upset.
none of them could persuade shi yan, but she was willing to listen to jiang che’s advice.
however, they couldn’t blame her for being unfaithful to her daughter, because it was her family who forced her to stay away.
Jiang Che’s words caused a moment of silence.
After a long time, Shi poran said solemnly,”Many thanks.”
no need. I’m not doing this for you guys or the Shi family. I’m only doing this for miss Shi.
After a pause, Jiang che continued, ” everyone thinks that miss Shi is big-hearted and doesn’t care about anything. In reality, she’s no different from any other young lady. In fact, she’s even more fragile and sensitive than many young ladies. Only I know how much damage your Shi family has caused her.
this kind of miss Shi really makes my heart ache. I’ll try my best to help her untie the knot in her heart.
He finished the wine in the cup in one gulp.
he put down his wine glass.
“I’ve had my drink. Please excuse me. Otherwise, when miss Shi comes over and sees me sitting alone with the three of you, she’ll start overthinking again.”
Jiang che didn’t care how much of an impact his words had on them. After he finished speaking, he immediately got up and left.
she bumped into su wan and shi lin as soon as she left the resting area.
Su Wan’s eyes were red. She had been standing there for a while.
Jiang che stopped in his tracks and nodded at them before leaving.
su wan had called shi lin over because she was worried that the three brothers of the shi family and jiang che would start a fight when they were sitting here alone.
The banquet was noisy, and even the rest area was relatively quiet. the noise from the other side covered the sound of their footsteps, which was why jiang che and the others didn’t notice them even though they had been standing there for a while.
However, they had clearly heard the conversation between the few of them after the girl had left.
after jiang che left, su wan immediately covered her mouth and burst into tears.
It alarmed Shi poran and the other two.
they all stood up.
“xuxu’s mother.” shi poran called out to her, but he didn’t know what to say.
He was not good with words, and he had gradually distanced himself from his parents over the years, so he could not find anything to say for a while.
“It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault. It’s my fault as a mother. Yanyan has been sensible and obedient since she became sensible. She has never said anything wrong or made a mistake. If she was in another family, she probably wouldn’t be pampered enough. But in our family, she has suffered such a big crime. It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault, Yingluo.”
Shi Lin seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he didn’t say anything. He only silently hugged her and patted her back to comfort her.
Shi Boran and Shi boyu also didn’t speak.
Only Shi Bozhen took a deep breath and exhaled heavily. He said in a self-deprecating tone, ” we were the ones who sought Jiang che out to vent our anger, but in the end, we were dealt a heavy blow by him. What a shame.
“Yanyan has always been someone who doesn’t care about anything since she was young. Not to mention others, I thought that she wouldn’t get hurt easily. At most, she’d become distant from me because of what happened in the past. Now it seems that the situation is worse than I thought, Yingluo.”
“The young lady that the entire Shi family dotes on?” Shi pochen sneered. in the end, she’s not even as good to her as someone she’s known for less than a year.
“Yanyan is really smart since young, you have a good eye for people. i admit that i have jiang che as my brother-in-law. I hope no one from the Shi family will interfere and oppose them. Otherwise, I might really be disrespectful to my elders for running away from home.”
shi bozhen didn’t care about them and left after he finished speaking.
Only the four of them were left. After a long silence, Shi Boran finally couldn’t bear to see su Wan cry and said, ” “mom isn’t the only one who has failed in her duties. we have all failed in our duties. It’s a good thing that Yingluo and Yanyan have met someone who is willing to think for her. ”
” since … since there’s a knot in your heart, you can slowly resolve it. everything will get better. mom, you don’t have to be too worried. ”
Shi poran himself was stunned when he heard this.
Her heart felt uncomfortable.
He blamed Yanyan for being ruthless and not contacting them for nine years. He really didn’t expect her to have a knot in her heart.
when he saw yanyan again, she was as usual. she was even more cheerful than before. now that she had a boyfriend, she even took the initiative to make friends. like many people, he thought that she was indifferent to people and things. he thought that she only blamed them at most. he never thought that she would be hurt to the point of having a knot in her heart.
” it’s not that simple. i’ve always felt that something was wrong with yanyan after i saw her. now that i think about it, yanyan was always distant and careful when she was with us! ” su wan covered her face and cried.
“she could have lived as she pleased, but she had to be careful in front of us, the people closest to her.”
Shi boyu pursed his lips and didn’t speak.
After a while, he sighed and walked over to help su Wan. ” mom, let’s go and sit for a while. this is su mu’s engagement party. there are guests all around. it’s not good to let people see it. ”
Su Wan didn’t want to spoil the festive atmosphere of the engagement party. With Shi boyu’s persuasion, she slowly stopped crying and choked on her sobs. Shi boyu and Shi Lin helped her over to sit down.
after su wan stopped crying, shi lin poured her a glass of water. shi boyu then spoke again.
“There are actually many things about Yanyan that we don’t know. it’s not just us, even her grandparents who have been keeping an eye on her all these years should not know.”
the three of them looked at him.
Su Wan and Shi Lin indeed didn’t know anything about Shi Yan, but Shi Boran didn’t.
Perhaps he didn’t know before, but after Shi boyu and Shi Yan appeared in the city of Qing at the same time, he had a guess.
He didn’t investigate it in detail, but he had some guesses.
His guess was confirmed when the Jiang family went to Wu County to cause trouble for Shi Yan, but Shi Yan detained them and took them away. Song Yu witnessed the whole process.
“I’ve had some business under me these past few years, and it’s mainly in Qingcheng. I’m sure you’ve heard of the seven major powers in the city of Qing.”
qingcheng was very chaotic and the seven forces kept each other in check. su wan had heard about it even though she didn’t pay much attention to it.
“One of the seven powers, high cloud, was founded by me. The person in charge of one of the seven powers, the mist cloud, Tong Yan, takes orders from Yanyan.”
“she’s from yanyan.”
“Tong Yan shouldn’t be the only subordinate of Yanyan.”
even shi lin was a little shocked by what shi boyu said, let alone su wan.
and it wasn’t just shi yan. even shi lin and su wan didn’t know that si yun was the trauma of shi bozhu’s apartment.
“Yingluo, I’m such a failure as a father. Yanyan never believed that I could protect her. it was before and after i left home.”
it’s not just Yanyan. You guys … Shi Lin looked at the two brothers with grief in his eyes and his voice trembled a little. you brothers don’t believe in me as a father either, right? ”
it’s my incompetence that made you all fight for your own paths. I don’t even know anything about these things.
Shi Lin seemed to have suddenly aged a few years.
This wasn’t what Shi boyu wanted to see, and he didn’t say this to make them blame themselves more.
“dad, you don’t have to take all the blame. the shi family has never slacked in the training of our children. we’ve each picked suitable people to train by our side since we were young, so it’s normal to have some small achievements. i’m not saying this to blame myself. i just want to tell you about yanyan and let you know her better.”
Yanyan really doesn’t need us family members. Even without the Shi family’s backing, she can rely on herself and the Jiang family’s fifth master to make it so that no one dares to say anything.
“so, let’s try our best to follow her wishes.”
” grandfather and grandmother are in a daze, especially grandfather. i don’t know if he’ll interfere in yanyan and jiang che’s matters. i hope that father and mother can mention this to grandfather and grandmother before jiang che brings yanyan back to the capital so that they won’t go against yanyan’s wishes. ”
“i don’t want to see yanyan disappointed again.”
“if i really let her down again, i’m afraid she won’t want to go home.”
Su Wan covered her mouth and cried silently.
shi lin’s eyes were also a little red.
“Zhenzhen, I will go and remind your grandparents. Since Yanyan has chosen her own person, no matter, no matter if she is willing to go home or not, we can’t just do nothing. as for the engagement and wedding banquet, you two brothers should try your best to cooperate with that child of the jiang family. you two should also help prepare qianqian’s dowry. we can’t let others look down on her. ”
“Don’t, don’t let Yanyan know about this. She’s having fun with her friends in the small courtyard, so she should be in a good mood. Don’t let it affect her. ” Su Wan said, sobbing.
“Don’t worry, mom. We know what to do.”
they didn’t stay any longer and left after sorting out their emotions.
They all wanted to hide it from Shi Yan, but they didn’t know that Shi Yan, who was coming from the small courtyard to the banquet hall, knew almost everything.
