she was cold-blooded and selfish

who knew how much pain she was hiding in her heart?

Shi Yan couldn’t help but lighten her steps. She walked over and stood by the swing. It was already like this, but the person sitting on the swing still didn’t notice that someone had come.

“Little aunt.”

It was only when she spoke that su Yunzhi snapped out of her thoughts.

“it’s yanyan, why did you come over?”

I ate a little too much for dinner, so I came out for a walk. I didn’t know I was here. it was the same excuse again, but everyone knew that it was just an excuse she made up.

su wan’s courtyard was not close to this place, and this was the inner courtyard behind the main building. there was a not-so-high courtyard wall separating them, so it was impossible for them to get here by taking a stroll.

however, su yunzhi didn’t point it out. she smiled gently,”do you want to sit for a while?”

he was asking her if she wanted to sit on the swing.

“no, i’ll sit here.” shi yan shook her head.

There was a stone table and a stone bench by the side.

She sat down on the stone bench beside the stone table.

The swing was specially made by her uncle for her. It belonged to her, so it was not appropriate for her to sit on it.

shi yan didn’t ask su yunzhi stupid questions like whether she had something on her mind and went straight to the point. I came back in my cousin’s car today. He said that he and sister Hailan will probably get married after the new year.

“really?” su yunzhi was very happy about this, so the surprise on her face was not fake.

“cousin said so.”

“this brat, why didn’t he tell me about such a big thing? there are many things to prepare for marriage. how can you get married just because you want to? if he told me earlier, i could have helped prepare earlier.”

“You’ve met hai LAN before. She’s not bad, right?”

“yes, sister hai lan is a very nice person.” shi yan smiled and nodded.

” it’s good to get married. after we marry hai lan, there will be one more person in the su family. ”

will cousin and sister Hailan live in the SU family’s mansion after they get married? ”

“Of course, the SU family is such a big house, I can’t live alone, can I? However, we’ll also prepare a new house for them outside. If they don’t want to stay at home, they can go out and stay for a few days.”

“If they move out, won’t aunt be the only one left in the SU family mansion?” Even if they were living in the SU family’s mansion, they would have to live their own lives after marriage and would have very little time to accompany their aunt.

su yunzhi didn’t mind and smiled, that’s why, Yanyan, you should come and spend more time with me when you’re free. You have a room in the SU family anyway.

shi yan,”yingluo.”

why did she have to be involved?

However, if that really happened, it wouldn’t hurt for her to stay at the SU family’s residence more often. Even if she didn’t stay, it would be good to have more meals with her.

looking at su yunzhi, shi yan hesitantly said, ” “Aunty, have you ever thought about finding someone to keep you company?”

su yunzhi’s smile gradually froze. even if she continued to smile, it was a bit forced.

“Yanyan, why did you suddenly ask me this?”

If someone else had asked this question, su Yunzhi would have changed the subject. However, since the person asking was Shi Yan, who rarely had anything that could make her care, su Yunzhi did not do so.

she was even a little touched.

If she didn’t really care about her, with Yanyan’s personality, she wouldn’t have taken the initiative to talk to her about this.

“i just feel that i’m still young and have a long way to go. i should find someone to accompany you.”

Su Yunzhi’s face twitched before she forced out a smile.”We’ll see.”

“Don’t worry about me. I’m an adult and I’ll take care of myself. As for you, since you’ve decided to be with Jiang che, you should settle the engagement as soon as possible.”

“i’m not saying this to say that i don’t trust jiang che. i believe in your judgment of people. however, as your family and your elder, i can’t help but worry about you. i’m always worried that you’ll be taken advantage of and bullied.”

“i won’t.”

“even if there’s a plan to get engaged, it’ll be after the new year. As for suffering losses and being bullied, Yingluo ”

“as long as i don’t want to be bullied, no one can make me suffer or bully me.” shi yan smiled faintly.

She was very confident. Su Yunzhi had no doubt that she could do as she said.

“Little aunt, don’t worry. I have a plan.”

“It’s good that you have a plan. You’ve always had plans since you were young, and I believe in you. sigh, it’s because you’re too sensible. as an elder, aunty doesn’t even have the chance to show off.”

“It’s getting late, and the night is a little cold. You’re not wearing much, so go back and rest. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it another time. Otherwise, if we say it once, we won’t be able to find anything to say next time.”

Shi Yan knew that she didn’t want to continue the topic of finding a companion.

He didn’t say anything more.

there were some words that were best left unsaid.

“Then I’ll go back first. Rest early, aunty.”

after shi yan left, su yunzhi sat on the swing for a long time. she looked up at the night sky where a few stars occasionally twinkled, as if in a daze.

when shi yan went back, su wan was still watching tv in the living room downstairs.

She said she was watching TV, but she kept glancing at the door from time to time until Shi Yan came back.

shi yan was a little dazed when she saw su wan, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking happy at her appearance.

When she was in the Shi family, she had her own courtyard since she was six years old. However, before she was six years old, she lived in the same courtyard as her parents.

She had a good memory and could remember almost everything that happened before she was six years old.

there was a scene in her memory where her second brother took her out to play. when they came back, it was already dark. that day, her father had work to deal with in the study, and her mother was sitting in the living room watching tv waiting for her to come back.

In those ten years, she was indeed the Apple of the Shi family’s eye, as the outside world said. They had never let her down.

there were many times when she felt that she was born cold-blooded. otherwise, why would she leave home so resolutely, without the slightest concern about whether the people who stayed behind would be sad?

Moreover, she did not shed a single tear when she left the Shi family.

At that time, she was only ten years old. If she wasn’t cold-blooded, what was she?

she was cold-blooded and selfish, but to this day, she had never regretted her decision to leave home. in fact, she was even glad that she had done so.

seeing that she was standing still and couldn’t tell anything from her face, su wan felt a little flustered and hurriedly said, ” “yanyan, you’re back?”

“Yes, Mom, you’re still awake?”

“no, i’m just watching tv for a while.”

“Do you want to go back to your room to rest? or do you want to come over and sit for a while?”

Looking at her eager eyes, Shi Yan wanted to ask her to sit down for a while, but then she thought that she didn’t know what to say even if she sat down. She might accidentally say something wrong and make her cry again, so she took back the words she was about to say.

” i have to get up early to go to school tomorrow. i’m going upstairs to sleep. don’t stay up too late, mom. sleep early. ”

“hello, yingluo. good night.”

“same to mommy. good night.”

After going upstairs and closing the door, Shi Yan gently exhaled.

she wanted to read a book, but when she opened it, she couldn’t get it in. she just lay down to sleep, but she couldn’t fall asleep no matter how she tossed and turned. she kept feeling like something was pressing on her heart.

it was only when jiang che’s video call came and she saw his face in the video that she felt a little more at ease.
