side story 5: the grand wedding (2)

shi yan heard someone calling her when she came out of the cafeteria.

“yanyan! yanyan!”

there were a lot of people around, and the other party’s voice was not loud, so she couldn’t distinguish the other party’s position for a moment. she searched with her eyes.

“Here, here, Yingluo.”

she saw the person. it wasn’t that her hearing had deteriorated and she couldn’t tell where the other party was, but that the other party was already hiding like a thief.

“Big brother Xi ran,” she said as she walked over.

it was li xiran, and no one knew how long he had been hiding there peeking.

li xiran lowered his voice. ” this is not the place to talk. let’s talk somewhere else. ”

shi yan had no opinion and followed him secretly to a relatively quiet path in the small courtyard. there were stone tables and chairs under the big tree here.

of course, only li xiran was sneaky, and shi yan left openly.

“Yanyan, sit here.”

Shi Yan sat down on the stone bench across from him and asked with a smile,”what is brother xi ran doing?”

“I just saw you and Shanshan talking in the cafeteria. I was a little far away, so I didn’t hear what you were talking about, but I saw Shanshan’s mouth movement. I think she mentioned my name? what did you guys talk about?”

li xiran looked at shi yan’s smiling eyes and scratched his head in embarrassment.”It’s a pleasure to meet you, I have no other choice.” she scratched her head in frustration. ” yanyan, you don’t know, but i really regret it now. if i were yingluo back then, i wouldn’t be in such a difficult situation now! ”

shi yan didn’t know how to comfort him.

She wasn’t very good at comforting people.

“Yingluo, no one knows what will happen in the future. You didn’t know what would happen now either. Uh, let’s look forward.”

He also felt that this kind of comfort was a little dry and not very attentive, so he added, ” “brother xiran, you don’t have to be too sad. sincerity is the most important thing in a relationship. if you really like her, then go ahead and pursue her. as long as both of you are single, anyone has the right to pursue the person they like.”

She wanted to tell him that he had high hopes and not to be discouraged, but after thinking about it, Shi Yan didn’t say anything.

There were some words that should not be said by her.

“do i really have the right to pursue others?” li xiran smiled bitterly. ” i’m not afraid of you laughing at me, but ever since i met shanshan, i’ve doubted myself more than once, and i even doubted if i’m still qualified to have happiness. ”

“You can’t think like that.”

Shi Yan was more or less helpless.

she didn’t talk much and wasn’t a warm-hearted person. she didn’t know why they felt that she could analyze their relationship, but they all came to her to share their love lives.

“Everyone has the right to be happy.”

after a pause, shi yan felt that she had to say something more, so she continued,”Putting aside your past love life, brother xiran, you’re also a very outstanding person. You have an excellent family background, and you’re also outstanding enough. You’re not worse than others, so why are you doubting yourself?”

Li xiran looked at her with hope. “you really think i’m outstanding?”

Shi Yan didn’t know how to answer his question.

In all fairness, li xiran was indeed a high-quality young man, but his excellence should not be confirmed by her. If Jiang che heard this, he would definitely be jealous.

seeing shi yan smile without saying a word, li xiran realized that his behavior was inappropriate. he laughed and said, ” “don’t laugh at me, i’ve been a little possessed recently.”

” i won’t give up so easily, so i’ll continue to pursue her. maybe one day, shanshan will be touched by my sincerity. ”

“Good luck.” Shi Yan said.

*

In the blink of an eye, it was almost a month after school started, and the long National Day holiday was coming.

the wedding was to be held in the capital. shi yan had taken three days off in advance to return to the capital to prepare for the wedding. she wasn’t with jiang che.

Jiang che left a few days in advance.

Hence, Shi Yan was alone on the plane to the capital.

jiang che had someone book the plane tickets in advance for first-class.

To be honest, Shi Yan was not surprised to meet someone she knew in the first class cabin.

Regardless of whether it was Haicheng or Jingdu, the upper-class circle was only so big. This was a direct flight from Haicheng to Jingdu, so it was normal to meet someone she knew in the first-class cabin of this flight.

However, Shi Yan was a little surprised to meet Lin Anran, whom she had met once on this plane.

She saw Lin Anran, and Lin Anran saw her.

lin anran was the first to cry out in surprise,’eh, miss shi, it’s really you! i’m so lucky to meet you on the plane!”

“miss lin,” shi yan smiled and nodded.

“don’t call me miss lin. i’m lin anran, and you can just call me anran.”

they had only met once before, and although she was a little interested in lin anran, shi yan still felt a little uncomfortable in the face of his enthusiasm.

However, Shi Yan was still Shi Yan. Even though she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she didn’t show it on her face and smiled appropriately.”then an cui, don’t call me miss shi anymore. just call me by my name.”

“alright, shi yan!”

“shi yan, shi yan zhenzhen, your name is really nice!”

“Thank you. An cui also has a nice voice.”

Every time Lin Anran introduced herself to others, she would subconsciously ignore the ” Lin ” surname. shi yan guessed that lin anjue might not like her surname, so she directly skipped it.

“thank you, i also think my name is very nice.”

lin anjue was genuinely passionate, but her enthusiasm didn’t seem exaggerated or make people feel uncomfortable. perhaps it had something to do with her open and generous attitude.

“is an cui here in haicheng to work?”

“yeah, i just finished filming and left the set. i took a small job and needed to come to haicheng to shoot some material. I don’t have much work to do after this, so I’m going back to the capital to attend your wedding. I didn’t expect to meet you on the plane, what a surprise.”

“It’s a surprise.” shi yan said with a smile.

He was actually going to attend her wedding.

she had only met lin anran twice, including this time.

“I’m very happy that you can attend my wedding.”

“I’m the one who’s happy. It’s your wedding with the fifth Lord Jiang. I don’t know how grand the scene will be, but the people who will attend will definitely be big shots. oh, i’m also an actor, so i might be able to get familiar with some investors and pull some connections to take on roles.”

“Then I wish you all the best?” Shi Yan laughed.

She didn’t think that Lin Anran needed to take on jobs in such a way.

From what she knew, Lin Anran had just sold off more than half of the Lin group’s shares.

the lin family was one of the top families in the capital, so the lin group’s assets were naturally not small. however, lin anran didn’t care about it and voluntarily gave up the opportunity to be her own capital.

it could be seen that lin anran didn’t lack these things.

lin anran didn’t lack money after selling her shares.

she didn’t lack money, and she didn’t seem like a career-minded person. she was in the entertainment industry and was more like finding some fun in life.

Shi Yan had always thought that she was a free and easy person, but she now realized that she was not as free and easy as Lin Anran.

“Thank you,” Lin Anran replied with a smile.

He had a clear mind and could understand everything, but he would not dig too deep.

She liked people like Shi Yan.

it was no wonder that even an indifferent and cold person like xie heng liked shi yan so much. if she was a man, she would also like her.

The plane landed.

as soon as they left the airport, lin anran was about to ask shi yan where she was going when a few people appeared in front of shi yan and blocked her way.

at that moment, the smile on lin anran’s face immediately disappeared. she walked over to shi yan and held her hand. pretending to be ignorant, she asked, ” “Shi Yan, who are these people? is he here to pick you up?”

shi yan didn’t react when she was blocked by a few burly men. she was a little surprised when lin anran suddenly took her hand.

“i don’t think so.”

it wasn’t ‘should’, it was’ definitely’.

she didn’t ask amy and the others to arrange for someone to pick her up, because jiang che would. however, if it was someone arranged by jiang che, he would not be so rude in front of her.

miss Shi, I’m sorry for being impolite. Please come with us.

a few burly men in casual clothes blended into the crowd without being conspicuous. they gathered in front of shi yan. to be honest, it would not be difficult for shi yan to get away.

however, they were in the airport and it was crowded. she was afraid that she would accidentally hurt passers-by if she pushed them too hard.

Furthermore, Lin Anran was beside her.

Lin Anran could clearly tell that there was something wrong with these people, but she didn’t avoid them immediately. Instead, she took the initiative to hold her hand.

He didn’t want to leave her alone.

lin anran had been so kind to her, and she couldn’t bring herself to involve him in such a dangerous matter.

He patted the back of Lin Anran’s hand and smiled. “it should be a friend of mine who wants to see me. it’s fine, you can go back first.”

Lin Anran knew that Shi Yan was smart. Lin Anran also knew that Shi Yan had some skills. however, in her opinion, even if a delicate little girl like shi yan had some skills, she wouldn’t be too powerful.

Of course, she would not leave Shi Yan behind and leave alone. “since you’re a friend, i’ll go with you. i have nothing to do when i go back anyway.”

Just as Shi Yan was about to say no, the burly man in the lead said,”This young lady should join us too.”

It was obvious that she was afraid that Lin Anran would go back and report it, so she was on her guard.

shi yan was still a little hesitant.

she had no problem protecting herself, but she couldn’t guarantee that she would be able to do so if she brought lin anran along. after all, it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands, and these people were likely to be carrying lethal weapons.

she couldn’t guarantee lin anran’s safety.

She saw Lin Anran smiling and blinking at her.

shi yan was slightly stunned.

this lin anxuan …

in the end, the two of them got into each other’s van. From the way the burly men carefully put their luggage away, they were quite polite to them.

the person who wanted to see her must have some ability to be able to kidnap her from right under jiang che’s nose.

After they got into the car, Shi Yan didn’t say anything more. Lin Anran also kept quiet.

One was calmer than the other.

Shi Yan was an extremely powerful person, so it was not strange for her to remain calm in the face of trouble. But why was this strange woman beside Shi Yan so calm?

they were only “inviting” them over in the name of kidnapping. Since when was kidnapping not so scary?

the burly men’s gazes shifted between shi yan and lin anran.

The two of them remained unmoved. They didn’t even make eye contact.

Under normal circumstances, when two girls were kidnapped, even if they weren’t afraid, wouldn’t they be curious about who the kidnappers were and communicate in a low voice?

but they didn’t even make eye contact!
