Chapter 576
576 miss shi yan
they kissed from the balcony to the room, and then from the room to the bathroom.
Two hours later, she came out of the bathroom.
Shi Yan was wrapped in a bath towel and carried out by Jiang che. She lay on the bed but did not fall asleep. The two of them did not continue and just hugged each other quietly.
“jiang che.” Shi Yan’s muffled voice came from his arms.
jiang che lowered his head and pressed his lips against her forehead, ” “what?”
Shi Yan looked up at him. I’ll take another day off. Let’s change our return time to Monday.
Without asking for the reason, Jiang che immediately agreed, ” “Alright,” he said.
“Make a trip to the Shi family’s house this Sunday morning. I want to treat the younger generation of the Jiang family to a meal in the afternoon. When we were in Haicheng, I got along quite well with the Jiang family’s third young lady, Jiang Yun. After we came to the capital, she came to my door more than once, wanting to treat me well as a good host, but I refused to see her. Now that I think about it, I’ve been a little rude.”
there was no such thing as impoliteness.
Other than the Shi family, they didn’t see anyone else. moreover, this was fifth lord jiang’s private manor, so no one would think that they were rude if they were refused to see him.
She only said that because she wanted to find an excuse to treat the Jiang family’s juniors to a meal.
There was no need to treat the younger generation of the Jiang family to a meal, but Jiang che would not reject her kind intentions.
“Alright, I’ll follow your arrangements,” he said.
*
xuan siyun didn’t get to see the owner of yanyun manor until 10 o ‘clock in the evening, but she was sure of one thing from the information her subordinates had found.
the young lady of the shi family was called shi yan!
When they left Yanyun Manor, Xuan Siyun’s face was completely black.
The assistant who was driving in front trembled. m-miss, w-what do we need to do next? ”
Ever since he told Xuan Siyun that the young lady of the Shi family was called Shi Yan, Xuan Siyun had not said a word. Her expression was very ugly, and the assistant was very uneasy.
When the eldest miss had personally paid a visit to the master of misty cloud Manor and waited at the main entrance for so long without seeing him, she was already on the verge of anger.
“Don’t do anything, go back to the old mansion!”
she knew that the owner of yanyun manor would not want to see her after she had sent her card back. however, she was unwilling to give up, so she didn’t leave immediately and tried to move him with sincerity.
at that time, she was already very clear that even if she was not completely sure, shi yan was most likely the eldest daughter of the shi family. If she could not get on good terms with the owner of Yanyun Manor and gain his help, she would have no chance of winning against Shi Yan.
she was the heir to the xuan family and the future head of the family. there were only a few people who were worthy of her. she had decided on the fifth master of the jiang family a long time ago. she was not willing to give up just like that!
putting aside her status, in what way could shi yan compare to her? in what way was he worthy of the fifth lord jiang?
she didn’t know what jiang che was thinking. he didn’t find someone who was on par with him, but he had to find a silky flower!
yes, in xuan siyun’s eyes, even if shi yan was the eldest daughter of the shi family and had a status that could be compared to hers, shi yan was just a coyflower that needed to cling to others for survival. she couldn’t be compared to her, the future head of the xuan family who could support the xuan family.
however, the fact that shi yan was the eldest young lady of the shi family made her very unhappy. she was also very angry that she had been refused to see shi yan at the door of yanyun manor.
With such complicated feelings, Xuan Siyun decided to find an opportunity to befriend the owner at the banquet at Yanyun Manor tomorrow.
although she was angry, she did not give up on the idea of befriending him.
She had no other choice.
“cousin, you’re back?”
In the main courtyard of the Xuan family’s old residence, Xuan Siyun had just entered the door when she saw Xuan Jinrui in a wheelchair.
Xuan Jinrui smiled gently, like a brother who truly cared for his sister and was patiently waiting for her to return.
things hadn’t been going her way that day, and she finally got home to see the person she hated the most. xuan siyun’s mood worsened.
“yes, i’m back,” he said with a fake smile.
“big brother, why aren’t you asleep yet? You should rest early if you’re not in good health. Don’t let your already bad body get worse. ever since you returned, grandfather and grandmother have pitied your poor health and took care of you so that their care would not be in vain.”
After Xuan Jinrui returned, old master Xuan acquiesced to him and Xuan Siyun continuing to fight for the inheritance.
ever since xuan jinrui returned, old master xuan and old madam xuan had indeed taken care of him because of his health, but this was not the reason they allowed xuan jinrui to continue fighting for the inheritance with xuan siyun.
The only reason they acquiesced to it was because Xuan Jinrui had Jiang Che’s support.
the fact that the old man of the xuan family didn’t care about the gender of his heir, whether it was his grandson or his grandson, was enough to show that he was a person who valued benefits more.
xuan jinrui was indeed in poor health, but he had jiang che’s support. to a certain extent, he was more valuable than xuan siyun.
of course, old master xuan didn’t say anything yet, which meant he hadn’t decided who was more suitable to inherit the family. he was waiting for xuan jinrui and xuan siyun to fight, and then through the two of them, he would choose the most suitable heir for the xuan family.
“thank you for your concern, cousin. i can still hold on.” Xuan Jinrui did not seem to mind her sarcasm at all.
“i heard that cousin went to visit yanyun manor today? i wonder if you’ve seen the mysterious master of yanyun manor?”
xuan siyun raised her head and looked at him, her eyes narrowed.
it wasn’t because xuan jinrui knew that she went to yanyun manor to visit. although she didn’t make a big fuss when she went to yanyun manor, she didn’t deliberately hide her whereabouts either. it wasn’t strange that xuan jinrui knew.
She was so displeased because Xuan Jinrui’s words were a provocation to her.
“my business doesn’t seem to have anything to do with big brother. instead of caring about my business, big brother might as well follow the doctor’s advice and recuperate!”
“Look at cousin’s words, you have already called me big brother, how can your matters not be related to me? i wanted to say, since cousin wants to see the master of yanyun manor so much, why don’t you accompany me to the banquet tomorrow? I’m lucky to have received an invitation to the banquet at Yanyun Manor.”
Before Xuan Siyun could say anything, Xuan Jinrui laughed and said, ” I’m the one who’s muddle-headed. If even I can receive an invitation to the banquet at Yanyun Manor, how could cousin, who’s the heir chosen by grandfather, not receive it? ”
one invitation can bring one companion. Since cousin doesn’t need me to bring her, I’ll go invite others.
xuan jinrui would not say this for no reason.
xuan siyun’s sharp eyes turned to him.”what do you mean by that?”
“It’s just a casual chat, what meaning could there be?” xuan jinrui smiled gently.
“it’s getting late. cousin, rest early and be in a good state to attend the banquet tomorrow. This is the most eye-catching banquet in the capital in recent years, and the people attending are all elites from all walks of life. Cousin is the face of house Xuan, and if she’s in good condition, it’ll also bring honor to house Xuan.”
with that said, he pushed the wheelchair and turned to leave.
“Stop right there!”
xuan jinrui turned around and asked with a good-tempered smile, ” “Is there anything else, cousin?”
“What do you want to do?”
“You guess.” xuan jinrui smiled evilly. however, this smile only lasted for a second before he returned to his gentle smile. ” cousin, don’t be nervous. we’re just having a chat. ”
” then, i’ll wish cousin a good dream tonight. see you tomorrow. ”
watching his back as he walked away, xuan siyun’s eyes narrowed, feeling a little uneasy.
Her intuition told her that Xuan Jinrui would not be content tomorrow!
she had already said that with xuan jinrui’s temper, it was not normal for him to put on a show of ” brother and sister respect ” with her instead of reporting to her about the battle for inheritance rights back then.
So, was Xuan Jinrui serious?
