just a small matter
“What’s wrong? Did boyu and Yanyan start quarreling?”
Su Wan stood up anxiously on the balcony.
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around to go downstairs, but su Yunzhi pulled him back in time.
“sister, let’s just watch and not disturb them. it’s better for brothers and sisters to quarrel. look at them, they seem a lot angrier, don’t they?”
“But Yanyan Huanhuan was not close to us because of what happened that year. If Bo Yu said something and forced her to stay further away from us, I Huanhuan”
Su Wan panicked a little.
ever since she saw shi yan again, she had been very careful, for fear that she would further alienate shi yan from them.
“Don’t be in a hurry.” shi lin also comforted her.
sister-in-law is right. It’s good that they’re quarreling like this. Everyone should be careful with what they say and do. Our family might have to be polite and polite to each other for the rest of our lives.
although he didn’t hear what they said just now, he knew his son well enough to know that he wouldn’t let things get out of hand.
“but yingluo”
“Sister, don’t say ‘but’. Which child doesn’t come here after a lot of noise? Our child’s temper came a little late, but it’s better than nothing, isn’t it?” with a little noise from the children, this huge house did not seem so cold and quiet. it was more like a home.
Su Wan looked into the yard worriedly and said, ” “Then, Yueyue, I’ll go take a look at the residence.”
“i’ll go with you. i have something to deal with.” su yunzhi nodded at shi lin and left with su wan.
Shi Lin was the only one left standing on the balcony.
“it’s only right for third brother to be angry with me.” shi yan said.
“it’s true that i didn’t think it through enough.”
To her, it was an insignificant matter, but to those who cared about her, it might not be the case. She had not thought it through.
“However, third brother was wrong about one thing. He doesn’t owe me anything and doesn’t need to compensate me.”
He looked at Shi Bochen, who was sitting opposite him, and said in a serious tone, ” “No one owes me anything. No one needs to compensate me.”
“Sister Xuanji Yan.”
How could he not understand what she meant? she was telling him not to be like third brother and feel that he owed her and needed to compensate her.
However, the fact was that everyone in the Shi family owed her.
“Let’s play chess.”
outside the main entrance of the su family’s main building, su wan happened to see shi boyu standing there with his back against the stone pillar and smoking. the glasses he usually wore had been taken off and held in his other hand.
he looked a little dispirited as he leaned there and smoked.
Su Wan had never known that her second son could smoke. She was stunned for a moment.
It was Shi boyu who saw her first, as if surprised that she would come here.
he put out his cigarette, put on his glasses, and walked toward su wan.
“Mom, why did you come over?”
when he walked over, the smell of smoke on his body had mostly dissipated.
“I saw that you and Yanyan seemed to have quarreled. I was a little worried, so I came over to take a look. When did Yingluo learn to smoke?”
As a mother, she had failed her duty.
“i don’t remember.”
seeing that su wan’s eyes were red, shi boyu paused and said, ” “Don’t worry, I’m not addicted. I don’t smoke often.”
Su Wan turned her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She forced a smile and said, ” ” i’m not worried. i just feel that as your mother, i don’t care enough about you and have neglected you. ”
” don’t say that, yueyue. i’ve not been home much these past few years, so it’s normal that you don’t know much about me. ”
“don’t worry, yanyan and i didn’t fight, and i’m not angry with her.”
He was angry with himself.
in the end, yanyan chose to rely on an outsider instead of him, her brother, because he didn’t do well enough.
however, yanyan really treated them as outsiders and only treated them politely. it made her seem extremely distant and really annoying. even if she threw a little tantrum, it would be good.
“Then what did you guys do just now?”
“It’s just that I couldn’t beat her in chess, so I felt embarrassed and retorted.”
Su Wan did not believe him.
“It’s rare to see you siblings quarrel over such a small matter.”
“You’ve been in Haicheng for almost a day, but I haven’t asked you why you’re here in Haicheng. Apart from us and Yanyan, is there any other reason?”
“i’m here to find someone.”
“looking for someone? Do you need our help? your father and i can’t help you, but the su family still has some power in haicheng. your aunt should be able to help you.”
“No need. I’ve mentioned to Yanyan that I’ll ask her and the fifth Lord for help. It’s enough to have their help. The person I’m looking for isn’t a simple person. Don’t get the SU family involved.”
He really didn’t want to drag the SU family into this.
as for why he wasn’t afraid of shi yan and jiang che getting involved, it was because he didn’t really want to ask them for help. he just wanted to take this opportunity to spend more time with shi yan.
moreover, he knew very well that if something really happened to him, shi yan would definitely not stand by and do nothing. once shi yan intervened, with her relationship with jiang che, he would probably not sit by and do nothing.
There would be implications from both sides, so it was better to let them know from the beginning.
moreover, he just had something to ask the head of the gu family. the possibility of him becoming enemies with the head of the gu family was very low, and the chances of getting into trouble were very small.
“Then … Then will you guys run away?”
“No, I’m just looking for a person, not a hostile relationship. However, the identity of the person he was looking for wasn’t too simple, so it was best not to get the SU family involved. Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
“You don’t have to worry about Yanyan. Even if fifth Lord Jiang isn’t by her side, Yanyan has the ability to protect herself. Misty is much more powerful than we thought.”
Su Wan didn’t quite understand what he meant, but Shi boyu didn’t intend to say more.
“I have some work to deal with, so I’ll go back to my room first.”
after shi boyu left, su wan stood outside for a while before returning to her room.
She went to the kitchen and brought some fruits to Shi Yan and Shi Bochen. seeing that shi yan and shi bochen were playing chess and seemed unaffected, she felt relieved.
That day, Shi Yan had dinner at the SU family’s house before leaving.
Jiang che came to pick her up personally.
Looking at Shi Yan, who was sitting silently in the front passenger seat, Jiang che asked, ” “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Shi Yan slowly raised her eyes to look at him. She didn’t say anything, but she looked a little aggrieved.
Jiang che sighed and touched her face. “did anything happen at the su family’s house today?”
” jiang che, i’ve sent people to cause some trouble for the liu family and jiang yuxiao recently. you know about this, right? ”
“i know. what’s wrong?”
” it doesn’t matter if it’s the liu family or jiang yuxiao. i just need to teach them a lesson so that they won’t have the energy to disturb my peace. it’s a small matter to me. i don’t need to spend much energy on it. ”
“I know,”
jiang che retracted his hand and focused on driving. he smiled gently at her. “i’ve always known that you’re very capable, miss shi.”
“But I’m handling these things by myself and didn’t ask my family to help. My third brother is angry.”
“your third brother is in haicheng?”
“Yes, I heard that he arrived last night.”
“Did you guys quarrel?”
“It can’t be considered a quarrel. Third brother left in anger after saying a few words. he seemed to blame me for not asking him for help, but in my opinion, this is a small matter that i can solve without much effort. there’s no need to ask for help from others at all.”
