Chapter 616
616 Side Story 5: the Grand wedding (1)
Yanyan, Jiang Changxi, little Jiang, you’re here. Come in quickly!
The new semester started, and Shi Yan entered her second year. in fact, she had already reached a third of the standard for her master’s degree. On the first weekend of school, Shi Yan and Jiang che were invited to professor li bingfeng’s house for a meal.
the two of them came to professor li’s house with gifts. it was shi yan’s teacher’s wife, professor chen, who opened the door for them.
Professor Chen was also a little troubled about how to address Jiang che.
Everyone addressed Jiang che as fifth Lord Jiang, but now that he was engaged to Shi Yan, he was a junior. It was not appropriate to address him as fifth Lord Jiang, nor was it appropriate to call him by his name directly. After some consideration, professor Chen decided to call him little Jiang.
she could be considered the first person who dared to call the fifth lord jiang little jiang.
“master’s wife.”
shi yan greeted professor chen with a faint smile. jiang che also greeted her, ” madam. ”
hey, come in. The food is ready. We’re just waiting for you.
The two of them entered the room. Professor li was setting the table.
hearing the commotion, professor li raised his head and looked at them. he pretended to be cold and said,”You’re here.”
“teacher,” shi yan politely greeted.
professor li raised his chin and nodded.
His expression was cold, but the words he said were broken in a second.
he said,”if you’re here, then come. why did you bring so many things?” You’re afraid that your master’s wife and I will be hungry? being poor was particular. It’s already so late and you’re still not hungry, go wash your hands and eat!”
shi yan and jiang che looked at each other and went to wash their hands as instructed.
by the time they finished washing their hands and went to the dining table, the dishes and chopsticks were already placed.
professor chen asked them to sit down and said, ” ” your teacher has a bad temper. his words have never been pleasant to the ear. ignore him. ”
“Please take a seat too, master’s wife.” Shi Yan smiled and shook her head.
let’s eat. I made a few home-cooked dishes. They can’t be compared to the ones made in restaurants outside. Just eat whatever you want.
As soon as professor Chen finished speaking, professor li disagreed, ” “Why can’t it be compared to the food outside? I’ve been eating for decades, and I’ve never felt that any of your dishes can be compared to those of other restaurants.”
” shut up! ” professor chen glared at him. ” there’s a junior here. what nonsense are you talking about? ”
Professor li snorted and picked up his chopsticks to eat. He did not forget to call Shi Yan and Jiang che, ” ” there’s no need to be so particular when eating at home. you can eat whatever you want. don’t be so coy. i hate those who are coy. ”
“yes, teacher,” shi yan smiled.
“Ignore him and eat.” professor chen couldn’t help but smile.
she said to shi yan, ” when you were getting engaged, your teacher had to go out for a project inspection. something happened to your senior brother and he needed my help to deal with it. your teacher and i couldn’t attend your engagement party. we felt really bad. ”
” madam, you’re too kind. although you and teacher weren’t present, you didn’t miss out on your gifts. jiang che and i have received your well wishes. ”
“As long as you don’t blame me and your teacher. we didn’t make it to your engagement party. when you got married, your teacher and i insisted on attending the wedding. I heard that the wedding banquet is set for the 11th?”
“Yes, master’s wife,”
“the 11th is good, it’s a holiday.”
“are all the wedding-related matters almost ready?” professor chen asked again.
this time, it was jiang che who answered. ” yes, it’s almost ready. thank you for your trouble. ”
“What trouble? it’s you who’s trouble. Professor li and I are very clear that Yanyan is busy with her studies. We’re afraid that we can’t help you with the wedding. you’re a few years older than yanyan, so you should be more worried.”
this should be the main purpose of the two professors calling them over for dinner today.
they were afraid that he would have an opinion if miss shi was too busy to help with the wedding, so they had specially called him over to say this.
They really regarded miss Shi as their junior.
that’s what I should do. Don’t worry, teacher. Yanyan and I won’t get into a conflict over such a small matter. in fact, he couldn’t wait to do more for miss shi.
Unfortunately, miss Shi was too capable and there were not many opportunities for him to contribute.
“It’s good that you think this way. A married couple should tolerate each other in life.” professor li said.
The meal ended in a casual chat.
Professor li and professor Chen had heard about what had happened to Shi Yan in the capital, but they had never asked. it was as if, in their eyes, shi yan was just their student and junior, and nothing else.

“Junior Shi Yan, long time no see! Is there anyone here?”
One afternoon, Shi Yan was eating alone in the cafeteria when she ran into her senior, Wang Shan.
Wang Shan was also alone.
“No, please have a seat, senior.”
wang shan sat opposite her. ” i haven’t seen you recently. are you very busy? ”
“it’s alright.” Shi Yan smiled and asked,”where’s senior?” Have you been busy recently?”
I’m just like that. I’ve almost finished all the papers I need in my second year. I don’t need to do any internships in my third year. I just need to go to class on time, finish my homework, and not fail my exams. I’m not that busy.
” i was going to get a certificate on the day of your engagement, so i couldn’t be there. i heard from li xiran and my brother that your engagement party was very lively. it’s a pity i couldn’t go. ”
li xiran and wang yinghao both went to shi yan’s engagement party. However, there were many guests at the time, so Shi Yan only gave them a simple greeting.
the exam is important. The wedding is on the 11th. You can go and drink at the wedding.
“It’s a must!”
As she spoke, Wang Shan looked around, coughed lightly, and said in a low voice, ” “junior, i heard that you and li xiran have known each other since you were young?”
They didn’t really know each other, only met once or twice.
“Yes.” Shi Yan nodded. we’ve known each other since we were young.
“then, then do you know li xi ran? I knew that he was a Playboy and had many girlfriends. When I found out that my family wanted me to marry him, I refused in my heart. In my opinion, I will never have any interaction with such a Playboy in my life.”
” i’ve already made it clear to him. we’ve also made it clear to our families. our families are no longer insistent on our marriage. ”
but after I made it clear, he kept chasing me. As a Playboy with no female partners, he didn’t have a female partner for half a year and just chased after me. My parents were touched, and even my brother came to persuade me to look at Hanhan with him everywhere.
Wang Shan smiled in embarrassment. I’m sorry to have embarrassed myself. I really can’t make up my mind, and I don’t want to talk to anyone about this. I’ll just take a break.
“It’s fine,” Shi Yan smiled. senior, you’re willing to tell me this because you treat me as a friend.
She didn’t have a deep friendship with Wang Shan or li xiran, but li xiran was su MU’s good friend, and she also called li xiran ” brother xiran. Wang Shan had come to her, so it wouldn’t be good if she sent her away without saying anything.
in the end, this is a major event in senior’s life, so I can’t say much. But since senior has spoken to me about this, I’ll share my opinion.
“The opinions of others are not important. What’s important is what senior thinks.”
wang shan might not have said this to ask her to make a decision for her. wang shan was not a person without her own opinions. she might have already had the answer in her heart.
“senior, i wish you happiness.”
shi yan said with a smile. she picked up the plate and stood up. ” i’m done eating, so i’ll be leaving first. senior, if you have any good news, remember to tell me, regardless of whether it’s related to brother xiran or not. ”
wang shan seemed to still be immersed in shi yan’s sentence about what was important was what she thought in her heart. she was not in the right state and only vaguely responded to shi yan.
