339 Don’t worry with me around

when she realized that shi yan and jiang che were beside her, jiang yun was shocked and quickly greeted them, ” “Fifth uncle, miss Shi.”

Compared to her, Jiang Yu was much calmer.

She first greeted Jiang che, then turned to Shi Yan.”Miss Shi.”

“i heard that miss shi is holding an apprenticeship banquet today, so i followed my cousin to join in the fun. Professor li bingfeng is a well-known figure in the academic circle. Since Ms. Shi is under professor Li’s tutelage, her future achievements will definitely not be low. Congratulations.”

Shi Yan glanced at him and said with a smile,”thank you.”

you’re our guests. Have a good time, third young master Jiang.

She retracted her gaze and focused on dancing with Jiang che.

their eyes met. without her saying anything, jiang che pulled her to the music and dance to the other side, further away from jiang yu and jiang yun.

“You have something to say?” Jiang che asked her.

Shi Yan glanced at Jiang Yu and said, ” “The third young master of the Jiang family is really strange. If he is hostile to you, he is a little too calm. If he doesn’t have any enmity towards you, then it’s not quite similar to the kind of person like the Jiang family’s third young miss who has good intentions towards you.”

“but there’s one thing i can be sure of.”

“what?”

It was rare to see her willing to discuss such things with him. Jiang che was very interested, not in the matter itself, but in discussing it with her.

“he’s trying to get close to you and me,” shi yan looked up at him and said with a smile.

as for whether he was deliberately trying to get close to her or jiang che, shi yan was not sure.

if they approached him on purpose, they would either be enemies or friends.

but jiang yu didn’t look like one.

shi yan would find her strange.

“don’t worry, it’s best if the shi family knows their place. if they don’t, we’ll solve it. with me around, they won’t be able to do much.”

jiang che’s gentle tone was filled with confidence.

Shi Yan looked up at his gentle yet arrogant appearance and smiled faintly.

as expected of the fifth lord jiang, he had such courage.

she blinked and looked at him. ” with teacher jiang around, i’m naturally not worried. i’m just casually chatting with you. ”

he knew that she was just trying to coax him, but her complete trust in him, as if she didn’t have to worry about anything with him around, made jiang che very happy.

The banquet officially ended at around three in the afternoon.

the customers left one after another.

shi bozhen caught up with professor li and his wife, who were heading to the parking lot.

“Professor li, please hold on.”

the two of them stopped and turned around to see the young man running towards them.

Qu Bolin was one of the top celebrities in the entertainment industry. Even though the two professors did not pay much attention to the entertainment industry, they had heard of his name.

Naturally, after the banquet, they also knew that he was Shi Yan’s second brother. There were too many people at the banquet, so they only greeted him briefly and didn’t talk in detail.

She didn’t expect him to suddenly catch up.

“Second young master Shi, why did you stop me?” in front of outsiders, li bingfeng had the image of a dignified scholar. he had a straight face and looked a little serious.

“i’m yanyan’s brother. professor li is yanyan’s teacher. you can’t call me that. you can just call me by my name. i’m shi bozhen.”

Professor li didn’t dwell on the form of address and asked directly, ” “What’s the matter, Bokun?”

“I heard your conversation with Yanyan just now. You’ve known Yanyan for a few years, right?”

professor li nodded and looked at him.

He could roughly guess why Shi Bozhen had stopped him.

“May I ask, where did you meet Yanyan?”

meeting professor li’s gaze, shi bozhen didn’t hide anything. he smiled bitterly and said, ” “It’s like this. Because of some matters, Yanyan left home for nine years. I also left home for nine years. The elders in the family have deliberately stopped me from finding out where Yanyan has gone all these years. I want to know where she has been living all these years.”

“I can’t find it myself, and I can’t ask Yanyan, so I can only ask you.”

In fact, after visiting the Jiang family in Haicheng, he and Shi Bochen had both sent people to investigate where old Madam Jiang had met Shi Yan three years ago.

he had a rough idea of the province.

they didn’t know which county or town they were in, and it wasn’t easy to find out.

Shi boxiang only came to ask him about it after learning that Shi Yan had known professor li in the past few years.

professor li did not answer him. instead, he asked, ” “Why can’t you go and ask little Yan?”

shi bozhen’s smile turned bitter, carrying a hint of self-blame and guilt. ” “something happened nine years ago. i’m afraid that yanyan will be unhappy if i mention it again.”

Professor li understood what he meant.

even if he didn’t know what exactly happened, it couldn’t be a small matter to force a ten-year-old daughter of a noble family to leave home.

at least, based on his understanding of shi yan, she didn’t care about many people or things. she wouldn’t be forced to such an extent by ordinary matters.

“Did you just say that you’ve also run away from home for nine years?”

Shi pochen nodded.

Even if he didn’t ask in detail, it wasn’t difficult for professor li to guess that Shi Yan had something to do with his running away from home from his expression.

“five years ago, i went to a newly discovered site with an archeologist team to investigate. the site was in wu county of yun province. i met the yan girl in a mountain in wu county. at that time, she was picking herbs alone in the mountain.”

wu county of yun province?

Shi Bozhen wasn’t bad at geography, so he knew this place.

it was a very cheap and poor county, and it was said that it had only been out of poverty in recent years.

yanyan had lived there for so many years?

Ever since he came to Haicheng, he had always heard that old lady Jiang’s Savior was from the countryside. If she had lived in Wu County of Yun province all these years, she would really be from the countryside.

Shi Bozhen didn’t ask professor li for Shi Yan’s specific address over the years. It wasn’t difficult to find out if the scope was narrowed down to the county.

he collected his emotions and said to professor li solemnly, ” “many thanks.”

Professor li and professor Chen left. After a few steps, professor li stopped and said to him, ” I don’t know what happened, and I won’t ask. After all, this is your family’s private matter. But I see that you have a good relationship with your sister Yan, so I’ll talk to you a little more.

“Back then, to thank Yan ‘er for saving my life, I went to the small farmyard where she lived. The house was made of mud and tiles, and the yard was filled with vegetables and chickens. There was a lot of firewood that had been cut from the mountain. She’s living alone, so she must have done all these things herself.”

“These things are nothing to ordinary farmer’s children, but for girls like you who came from a family, I’m afraid you’ve suffered a lot.”

It wasn’t just suffering. Shi Bocheng didn’t even dare to think about it.

One must know that when she was still at home, not to mention planting vegetables, raising chickens, and chopping firewood, she didn’t even need to pick a flower in the garden herself.

After a long time, Shi boxiao moved his lips and said with some difficulty, ” “Thank you for the information.”

He wanted to go to the place where Yanyan had lived all these years to take a look, but the new drama was about to start shooting. He was afraid that he would not have time when he joined the crew.

It would probably take some time.
