everyone started to panic
“this is the strange part.”
I was just casually mentioning it, but I didn’t expect Gu Zi to agree after hesitating for a while.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have specially made a trip to the Jiang family to talk to her about this matter.
This was really a rare thing.
even shi yan wanted to see such a rare thing. she had thought that haicheng was a very quiet place and that she and jiang che would be able to live a peaceful life without being disturbed for the next few years after they finished their studies. however, things kept happening not long after.
However, thinking about it was one thing. She and Jiang che had agreed to set off for Crescent Bay the next day. She didn’t want to be delayed by other matters.
There were things that she could take time off to do alone with Jiang che, but not many. Gu Zi happened to not be one of them.
“I’m not going. It’s just a deal. Third brother can go by himself.”
After a moment of hesitation, Shi Yan looked at Shi boyu and said, ” third brother, don’t you have something to ask the head of the Gu family? you can go and ask the seventh master of the Gu family. Maybe he will know.
her words stunned shi boyu, who then looked at her with a slightly puzzled gaze.”Yanyan, do you know something?”
“Know what?” Shi Yan smiled and asked.
shi boyu looked at her expressionlessly and didn’t speak.
Shi Yan felt that she was very calm, but she couldn’t help but soften under Shi Bosu’s gaze.
“third brother, what do you think i should know?”
shi boyu had never stated what he wanted to ask the head of the gu family for.
“do you know why i’m looking for the head of the gu family?”
I’m not sure. I only have a rough guess.
After all, it was someone else’s private matter. As an outsider, it wasn’t appropriate for her to interfere too much. However, she really couldn’t bear to see her third brother like this.
“Third brother, you want to ask the head of the Gu family about someone, right?”
before last night, she wasn’t very sure, but after seeing gu yuanyuan call gu qingqing and now confirming from shi boyu that gu yuanyuan was a member of the gu family, she could basically confirm what shi boyu wanted to ask the head of the gu family for.
Shi boyu was a very calm person and rarely revealed his emotions. When he heard Shi Yan’s words, his eyes behind his glasses suddenly lit up and he couldn’t hide his excitement.
“Yanyan, you, do you know who I’m looking for? Do you know where to find her?”
this was the first time shi yan had seen shi boyu so exposed.
He couldn’t help but feel emotional.
“yes, i know.”
“Then can you please please please tell me?”
“third brother, since i’ve mentioned it to you, i naturally have to tell you,” shi yan said helplessly.
For a moment, Shi Yan seemed to see Shi boyu smile.
He was smiling excitedly.
They were brother and sister, but other than the fact that they both liked to be quiet and calm, they were very different in other aspects.
she liked to smile, and there was a faint smile on her face most of the time. Shi boyu was different. He was mostly expressionless. In Shi Yan’s memory, the number of times he smiled was less than three.
Shi Yan suddenly felt that it wasn’t a bad idea to occasionally assist.
“She’s in Haicheng. I’ll send you her number later.”
“yingluo, thank you.”
thousands of words were condensed into a single “thank you.”
third brother must be looking for the head of the Gu family for this matter. There’s already news. Are you still going to see the seventh master of the Gu family tomorrow? ”
she was trying to change the topic because shi yan felt that if she didn’t change the subject, shi boyu would probably cry out of excitement.
She didn’t like to cry, and she wasn’t good at dealing with people who cried.
“See.”
“Since you can connect the person I’m looking for to the master of the Gu family, you should know that she has some kind of connection with the Gu family. Moreover, Yingluo …”
As he spoke, he looked at Shi Yan and Jiang che.”you all seem to want to know the whereabouts of the gu family’s head. i’ll go meet gu zi. maybe i can get some information from him.”
Alright, then.
then third brother, you must be careful. Whether it’s the head of the Gu family or the seventh master of the Gu family, they’re not simple people. It’s always good to be careful.
shi boyu didn’t stay in bamboo garden for long. after he was done, he sat for a while and finished his tea before leaving.
after he left, shi yan and jiang che did not return to the house immediately. they were still basking in the sun in the courtyard.
“If you want to join in the fun, we can change our flight date to the day after tomorrow. It doesn’t matter where we are, as long as we’re together.” jiang che said.
shi yan looked at him with a smile. ” that’s right. but i can’t wait to take you to the place where i’ve lived for many years. ”
jiang che couldn’t help but laugh.

“you’re here?”
In the private room of the Jade eatery.
When Shi Yan arrived, Xie Xi n was already sitting in the private room.
“grandmother.”
“have a seat.”
Shi Yan took off her coat and hung it on the chair. She was wearing a simple and elegant long dress. Her long hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin and she had light makeup on.
she pulled out a chair and sat opposite xie xi n.
All of his movements were neither fast nor slow, revealing a sense of calmness.
Looking at her like this, Xie Xi N’s gaze was a little complicated.
Nine years outside, without the protection of the family and the guidance of the elders, not only did he not grow up crooked, but he also grew up to be so outstanding.
he had grown up to be like this, making these elders have no sense of existence at all.
other families were worried about their own children being good-for-nothing, but the shi family did not have the experience of teaching their children.
However, Yanyan was not the same as before.
in the past, she would not dress herself up so meticulously.
Sure enough, when a girl grows up and has someone she likes, she would want to present a better side of herself. Even Yanyan, who had never cared about anything since she was a child, was no exception.
xie xi n didn’t know if he should feel more relieved or regretful.
As Shi Yan’s grandmother, she had not participated in the slightest in these changes.
This was clearly the granddaughter that she had loved and doted on since she was born, but she had actually walked to the point where she couldn’t even find a topic to talk about even when they were sitting at the same table.
Back then, Xuanji
Who could he blame?
she only thought of her granddaughter’s indifferent personality and wanted to make sure that she would have no worries for the rest of her life, so she chose an outstanding fiancé for her. With her granddaughter’s indifferent personality, she thought that she would listen to her family’s arrangements. She did not expect her to have such a big reaction.
that should be the first time she resisted them since she was ten years old.
It was resistance, and it was also the first time he expressed his will.
At that time, was it because he was too used to her obedience and was suddenly angered by her resistance, or was it because he was angry that she had chosen to leave so indifferently and decisively?
He actually let her go just like that.
As an elder, he didn’t want to lower his head to the younger generation. He wanted her to lower her head first. However, she had a stubborn personality. Nine years was enough for them to clearly understand that it was impossible to make her bow her head.
Now that someone whom she was willing to love had appeared by her side, she might have her own small family very soon.
To her, they were even less important.
xie xi n had to admit that she panicked when she found out that shi yan and jiang che were together.
she was not the only one panicking. many people in the shi family were panicking as well.
