Chapter 550
550 fifth lord jiang’s farewell
That night, Shi Yan did not stay at the SU family’s residence. Instead, she returned to the small courtyard of their villa with Jiang che.
She had always been a person who went with the flow. In the nine years that she had been away from home, she had never suffered from insomnia, but tonight, she did.
she didn’t have a nightmare, but she was half-awake and half-asleep the entire night.
She thought she had hidden it well and Jiang che didn’t notice it. Little did she know that Jiang che knew everything. he didn’t notice it while lying in her body, but more like he had a premonition.
From the moment she said she was going back to the capital, she had been very calm.
this was not normal in itself.
jiang che understood her. she just looked like she didn’t care about anything on the surface.
however, jiang che didn’t point it out. the next day, he got up early to exercise as usual. auntie made breakfast, and he waited for shi yan to get up and go downstairs. the two of them had breakfast together.
however, he didn’t push back his return to the capital to monday.
after breakfast, jiang che took out a tissue and handed it to shi yan, who was sitting across from him, saying, ” ” i’ve already applied for a week’s leave for you. seeing that you were still sleeping, i didn’t ask for your opinion and booked an afternoon flight. if you still have something to deal with, i’ll get someone to change your flight. ”
Shi Yan’s hand, which was holding the tissue, paused for a moment. Then, she slowly folded it and wiped the corners of her lips. She looked very calm.”there’s no need to change my visa, i’m fine. What time is the flight? i’m going to pack my luggage.”
jiang che glanced at her and said,”three o ‘clock.”
She looked very calm, but Jiang che was not at ease.
She had light makeup on her face. Usually, when the two of them were at home together, she would not put on makeup. because of the light makeup on her face, the dark shadows under her eyes were gone, and she didn’t look haggard.
If he hadn’t been sleeping next to her, Jiang che would have suspected that it was his imagination that she didn’t sleep well last night.
I’ve packed my luggage. You can go and see if I’ve left anything out.
shi yan was not surprised that he had already packed his luggage. She was very assured of Jiang che. He had packed his luggage personally. If he missed anything, she would at most pick a few books that she needed to read and bring them along.
After breakfast, the two of them went back to the Jiang family’s old house and packed their luggage. They planned to leave for the airport directly from the Jiang family’s old house.
it was jiang che’s idea to return to the jiang family’s old residence.
It wasn’t for work. Ever since he moved to the villa’s courtyard, Jiang Che’s things that were left in Bamboo Garden had basically all been moved there. There was nothing related to his work in Bamboo Garden.
he had come back to see grandma jiang.
He didn’t bring Shi Yan with him. He said that he had something to discuss with the old lady and asked Shi Yan to play with Jiang Rui for a while and wait for him.
this was the first time jiang che had taken the initiative not to bring shi yan with him.
shi yan didn’t say much. after contacting jiang rui, she went straight to the lotus pond behind and asked jiang rui to find her there.
the lotus flowers had withered in this season. fortunately, there were many kinds of flowers in the courtyard, so it was not considered bleak.
“yan!”
when jiang rui came over, shi yan was sitting in the pavilion and looking at the fish in the lotus pond.
“Why did you come back? I thought that you and fifth uncle were going to spend some alone time on the weekend, so I didn’t dare to disturb you. Where’s fifth uncle? why don’t we see him?”
Before Jiang Rui reached the pavilion, she had already started talking, and it seemed like she couldn’t stop talking.
She was very happy to see Shi Yan return.
Jiang che had something to discuss with grandma Jiang, so he came back with her.
Hearing this, Jiang Rui was a little surprised,”fifth uncle is looking for grandmother?” He took the initiative to look for grandmother?”
seeing shi yan nod, she was even more surprised.
she walked over and sat down. ” i can’t believe fifth uncle took the initiative to look for grandmother. ever since he came to haicheng, this is the first time he took the initiative to look for someone from our family. in the past, fifth uncle would turn anyone who wanted to see him away, let alone look for them. ”
“do you know why fifth uncle went to find grandmother?”
“i don’t know,” shi yan shook her head.
She didn’t intend to probe further.
if jiang che was willing to tell her, he would naturally tell her. if he wasn’t willing to, she wouldn’t ask. however, she guessed that it shouldn’t be anything urgent.
Although Jiang che had returned to the capital once before the new year, that was not an official return. When they returned this time, regardless of whether it was her or Jiang che, they were both officially returning after being away for many years.
It wasn’t easy for her to get over this, and it was the same for Jiang che.
since they were going back officially, with jiang che’s character, he naturally had to come personally to bid farewell to the old lady.
the facts showed that jiang che indeed knew shi yan very well.
at the same time, in grandma jiang’s courtyard.
aunt wan brought two cups of tea and left, leaving jiang che and old lady in the living room.
the old lady did not drink her tea. she looked at jiang che, who was sitting diagonally opposite her, and seemed to be a little emotional. ” i’m a little surprised that you’ll take the initiative to see me. ”
“but it’s not too surprising.”
“After you and Yan got together, I knew that this day would come. After knowing Yan’s background, I knew that day wouldn’t be too far away.”
“Since you’ve already decided, I won’t keep you. It’s just that you’ve lived in the bamboo garden for three years. I’m afraid that no one would dare to live in the place you’ve lived in, so I left it there.”
he didn’t say it clearly, but his meaning was obvious.
he would always have a place in the jiang family of sea city. as long as he came back, he would have a place to stay in this family.
jiang che looked at her and was silent for a while before saying, ” “You’re still so smart.”
he had not said anything, but she had already guessed it.
The old lady politely declined his praise. you’d better be normal. You’re praising me like that. It’s terrifying.
“why did you suddenly go back now? you didn’t tell me anything before, so i thought you’d at least wait until the may 1st holiday for yan. What happened?”
“something did happen, but it doesn’t matter.”
Jiang che actually took the initiative to sit with her, drink tea, and chat. The more the old lady looked, the more curious she felt. it had been three years, and this was the first time!
however, compared to the novelty, she was more gratified.
It was the right decision to ask Yan to spend more time with Chen xuyao.
“it’s good that you’re fine. i believe in your ability. i can’t help you with something that you can’t handle, so i won’t interfere.”
Not only did he not interfere, he didn’t even intend to ask what it was about.
“where’s yan? why did you come back alone?”
“He went to play with Jiang Rui.”
“I see, then Rui ‘er will probably be very happy. Since young, Rui’ er has made many friends, but this is the first time she has liked a friend so much. They get along very well.” The old lady smiled kindly.
“when are you leaving?”
” the flight is at three o ‘clock in the afternoon. i’ll go to the airport directly after i see you. ”
“So urgent?” the old lady was startled.
“things have to be resolved sooner or later. the earlier it’s resolved, the earlier it’ll be quiet.” If the matter was not resolved, miss Shi would not have been the only one who could not sleep well last night.
it had only been one night, and his heart was already aching. he didn’t want to drag it on any longer.
“that’s true,” the old lady nodded in agreement and then smiled at him. ” i can’t believe i’m able to see you willing to explain to me why you’re doing this in my lifetime. how novel. ”
jiang che glanced at her indifferently and didn’t reply.
Seeing this, the old lady’s mood became even better.
He smiled.
“We’re going straight to the airport? does that mean Yan wants to come with us?” he asked.
She didn’t think that Jiang che would leave her here alone after bringing Shi Yan to the Jiang residence.
