Chapter 609
609 I’m happy that you’re back
“You’re not going home?”
shi boxiao asked shi yan in the car.
yes, the gown is with Jiang che. I have to prepare it tomorrow morning, so I won’t be going back with you.
“big brother, please take a detour and send me to nanwan road first,” shi yan said to shi boran, who was driving.
But you didn’t say you weren’t going back tonight.
shi bozhen had wanted to say that, but he swallowed his words.
Yanyan stayed at home for a total of five days. In these five days, she did not visit Jiang che even once. Jiang che also did not come to the Shi residence to disturb her and her family. This was a rare occurrence for the two of them, who could not wait to stick together all the time.
moreover, what yanyan said made sense.
She was the star of the show tomorrow, and she had a lot of things to do when she woke up early. Putting everything else aside, it would take her a long time to do her makeup and hair.
...
Shi poran’s gaze stopped on her face for two seconds before he said, ” it’s good that you’re going over tonight. it’ll save you the trouble of waking up early tomorrow morning. ”
she had taken the initiative to ask him to send her there instead of taking a taxi or having someone pick her up. this was already a great improvement for her.
shi yan smiled and nodded.
In fact, before she went out with them, she had not thought of not returning to the Shi family’s house tonight. She had come to the bar after watching the musical and had a drink with them when she suddenly had an idea.
She didn’t know what kind of mentality this was, but the more she felt happy, the more she would miss Jiang che. she thought about how jiang che was all alone at home when she had family to keep her company.
Then, she suddenly wanted to go back and accompany him.
since jiang che sent her to the shi family’s house five days ago, they had not seen each other again, although they would video chat every night.
They arrived at Nanwan road half an hour later.
It was already one o ‘clock in the morning when the concert ended.
Shi Yan didn’t expect Jiang che to still be awake when she returned at this time.
He went upstairs to the bedroom. The lights were still on. She pushed open the bedroom door and entered. She saw Jiang che in his pajamas, sitting at the head of the bed and reading.
...
Jiang che was also a little surprised to see her.
after the surprise, it was a visible surprise. he put down the book, stood up, and walked towards her, pulling her into his arms.”miss shi, didn’t you say that you wouldn’t be back tonight? why are you back?”
“I reek of alcohol, don’t hug me yet.” free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎
Shi Yan gently pushed him away, but did not let go of his wrist. She looked up at him and said with a faint smile, ” “If I don’t come back, are you going to stay up all night?”
” i won’t. i’ll be done with the book in a few pages. i was planning to go to sleep after i’m done with the book. ”
tucking a few strands of hair behind her ear, jiang che’s gaze was gentle. ” “i didn’t expect you to come back, but i’m very happy that you’re back.”
Shi Yan could feel his happiness.
it seemed that she had made the right decision to come back.
“did you have fun outside?” Jiang che gently wrapped his arm around her waist and looked down at her.
Jiang che knew that Shi Yan had gone out to play with her brother and brother. They had not seen each other for the past few days, but it was not that they did not know what each other was doing.
They would take the initiative to report their itinerary.
...
“i’m very happy,”
“it’s good that you’re happy. It’s getting late, go take a shower and rest.”
well, if you’re tired, you can sleep first. You don’t have to wait for me.
“Alright,” he said.
jiang che’s response was good, but when shi yan came out of the shower, he was still awake.
instead of reading, she sat on the bed and looked at her phone.
He put down his cell phone when he saw Shi Yan come out. He waited for Shi Yan to walk over, open the quilt, and lie down on his side before turning off the light and lying down.
she leaned in to kiss shi yan and said softly, ” “Good night, Ms. Shi.”
shi yan snuggled into his arms and pressed against his chest.”Good night,” she said.
*
the engagement party was held at shengshi hotel.
...
many well-known people were invited to the engagement banquet of the fifth master jiang and the eldest daughter of the shi family.
guests could be seen exchanging pleasantries everywhere at the banquet.
wasn’t a banquet like this also a social event?
The guests didn’t forget to observe the people at the banquet when they were exchanging pleasantries. While they marveled at the great influence of the two protagonists, they also sighed for the Shi and Jiang families.
more than anything else, they were sighing for the jiang family.
the main character had not arrived. at this time, other than the fifth lord jiang and miss shi’s capable assistants, only the shi family members were entertaining the guests.
apart from third master jiang and fourth master jiang, only a few juniors of the jiang family were present. they were not qualified to entertain the guests for the fifth lord.
The fifth master’s biological parents, old master Jiang and old Madam Jiang, were not present.
some people couldn’t help but sigh.
a few months had passed, and xuanji was no longer the jiang family of the past. the current jiang family was on par with the xie family, the shi family, and the xuan family, and even some second-rate families were about to surpass them.
with the fifth lord personally suppressing the jiang family, how could the jiang family, which was already on the decline, withstand the pressure?
...
Fortunately, the people of the Jiang family were not completely brainless. They knew that the first and second branch had both offended Jiang che, so third master Jiang and fourth master Jiang had slowly reduced the power of the first and second branch. He also heard that Jiang che had treated the younger generation of the Jiang family to a meal before he left the capital, so he gradually passed the power to the younger generation.
the jiang family’s fourth master doted on his daughter and couldn’t bear to see her suffer, so he took the initiative to give his daughter the power. however, jiang yun did not let him down. she managed to gain a firm foothold in the company even before she joined. she also managed to take over the things that her father gradually gave her.
as the jiang clan’s power gradually shifted, the fifth lord’s suppression of the jiang clan also lessened.
Slowly, the Jiang family’s situation stabilized.
Even though the present was far from the past.
however, with the gradual decline of the jiang family, old master jiang and old madam jiang had not shown their faces in public for a long time.
Jiang Yi and Bai Xue had offended a lot of people in the past, and many people wanted to take this opportunity to laugh at them. They didn’t expect that they would not even attend their own son’s engagement party.
when it came to mocking, no one laughed at the jiang family’s juniors. Not only did they not laugh at them, but some even went up to them to curry favor.
Perhaps he had heard that the younger generation of the Jiang family had a good relationship with the fifth Lord.
Therefore, even though the Jiang family had declined, the younger generation of the Jiang family didn’t have a hard time.
In addition to the Shi family and the Jiang family, the Yun family also received a lot of attention, especially the two half-brothers of the fifth Lord Jiang.
...
however, both yun qing and yun xiao did not care about these gazes.
The two of them brought their wives to Shi poran, who was entertaining the guests.
“Shi family head.” Yun Xiao was the first to greet him.
“President Yun,” Shi poran nodded slightly.
it’s not convenient for the Yun family to interfere in ah Che’s matters. We’ll have to trouble master Shi and the Shi family to take care of it.
” you’re too kind, president yun. this is my sister’s engagement party. ”
Yun Xiao didn’t say anything more. She led the three people beside her to toast Shi Boran with a glass of wine and then went to chat with the others.
Yun Jian, who was not far away, happened to see this scene. She whispered to Yu Xi, who was beside her, ” ” you see, my eldest brother and second brother are very good at doing things. they never get involved in things that they shouldn’t. it’s no wonder that ah che only put on a show when he attacked the yun family. ”
” uh, i suddenly realized a problem. do you think ah che was being so merciful to the yun family because he was giving me face? ”
