She Is From The Countryside

Was About the Fifth Master of the Jiang Family

“That’s not true.”

Bump?

Why would she bump into the others for no reason? After spending so much time together, Little Zhao had a rough idea of her personality and knew that she would not easily clash with others. Then, the meeting that Little Zhao was talking about was definitely not what she had imagined.

Could it be that in Little Zhao’s eyes, meeting the other party was a clash?

Was it that exaggerated?

Or could it be that the person was that scary?

After Xiao Zhao heard what she said, she clearly heaved a sigh of relief and said repeatedly, “It’s good that you didn’t. It’s good that you didn’t.”

Shi Yan glanced at her and changed the topic, “However, I sent him back.”

Xiao Zhao’s eyes widened. After a long while, she said, “S-miss Shi, I didn’t quite hear what you said just now. Could you… Say it again?”

Shi Yan repeated with a faint smile, “I sent him back.

“He was sitting in a wheelchair by himself at the Lotus Pond. There wasn’t anyone around him. I was afraid that it wouldn’t be safe for him to stay there alone, but I was also worried that it wouldn’t be convenient for him to go back alone, so I took the initiative to send him back.”

In fact, if he could appear there alone in a wheelchair, how could he not go back alone?

After listening to her words, Little Zhao did not know how to describe her current mood.

She wanted to ask so many questions, but what she wanted to ask the most was, “You… You offered to send him back, and he… Agreed?”

“Is this very surprising?”

“It’s more than surprising!”

Realizing that her reaction was too great, Little Zhao quickly took a deep breath to calm her emotions and forced a smile.

“Miss Shi, I’m sorry. I was just so surprised.”

“It’s nothing,” Shi Yan said with a light smile.

“But Sister Zhao, I saw that you had such a big reaction. Is that gentleman usually very scary?”

That gentleman?

“Miss Shi, do you know who you met?”Little Zhao was extremely surprised.

Shi Yan smiled lightly and indifferently. “I have a guess. I sent him to the bamboo garden, but I’m still not very sure of his identity.”

How could she not be sure?

Even without asking, the other party was obviously the owner of the bamboo garden, so it was not difficult to guess his identity.

Xiao Zhao exhaled lightly and said, “He was sent to the bamboo garden, and he was sitting in a wheelchair. He was also in his twenties and had an outstanding appearance. In the old house, only the Fifth Master matches that description.”

“So that gentleman is the Fifth Master?”

“Most likely.”

“Miss Shi, did you meet master five at the Pavilion in the Lotus Pond?”

Shi Yan nodded.

“Master Wu seldom goes out. I’ve only met him twice in all my years working in the Jiang family’s old mansion. One time was at the annual banquet the year before last year, and the other time was when I saw him from afar in the old mansion last year. You actually met him not long after you came to the old mansion.”

This time, including the time when she met Master Wu’s car at the gate, Miss Shi had met Master Wu twice in less than twenty days!

Such luck…

“Fifth Master is not scary. On the contrary, he has a gentle and gentle temperament and rarely gives anyone a cold look.”

Shi Yan paused for a moment before she asked with a chuckle, “Then why do I hear you all look extremely afraid of the Fifth Master when you mention him?”

Xiao Zhao was slightly stunned. After a moment of hesitation, she shook his head and said, “This... I can’t really say. When the Fifth Master sits there, he has a kind of dignity that no one dares to offend. For some reason, we’re a little afraid of him. It’s not just me. Among the people I know in the old mansion, those who have the fortune to meet master five have similar feelings as me.

“Moreover, everyone in the old mansion knows that the Fifth Master is not in good health and likes the quiet. He usually doesn’t like to be disturbed by others. Naturally, when everyone mentions the Fifth Master, they have more concerns and taboos.”

Was that so?

Shi Yan took a deep look at Little Zhao and said with a smile, “So that’s how it is.”

She did not ask any more questions and continued eating. The way she ate was very elegant. Just looking at it was a kind of enjoyment.

However, she did not ask anymore, and Little Zhao did not intend to stop this topic.

Little Zhao looked at her and hesitated for a moment before asking, “Miss Shi, did you really just meet the Fifth Master and send him back to the bamboo garden? Nothing happened during this period of time?”

“No,” Shi Yan said with a faint smile.

Little Zhao was secretly shocked.

After adjusting her mood, she slowly calmed down. Looking at Shi Yan, who was as calm as before and eating quietly, she could not help but ask, “Miss Shi, aren’t you at all curious about the Fifth Master?”

“Curious about what?”

“For example… How his body was not in good health, when his bad health began, why he was sitting in a wheelchair, and so on.”

“I’m not curious,” Shi Yan said with a smile.

She was curious, but she did not intend to find out from others. She would not inquire about the information about the Fifth Master Jiang so indirectly.

Xiao Zhao saw that she was not lying and was really not curious, so she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

It seemed like she wanted to remind Shi Yan about something, but in the end, she did not say anything. Shi Yan didn’t seem to notice Xiao Zhao’s hesitation, continuing to eat her meal with an indifferent expression.

* . *

A day passed quickly, and a few cars entered the Jiang family’s old residence, one after another. It was the other members of the Jiang family who had rushed back to attend the family banquet.

As they had to wait for the others, the family banquet was a little later than the usual dinner time. As a result, Shi Yan was still watching the local news broadcast in the living room of her small building at around 6:40 am.

Logically speaking, Shi Yan was only a guest at the Jiang family’s family banquet, so it was not appropriate for her to attend. She had originally planned not to go, even though Grandma Jiang had asked her to go again and again.

However, Shi Yan did not refuse at all today. Xiao Zhao reminded her that the dinner would not be delivered. She said that Grandma Jiang asked her to go to the main building to attend the family banquet together, so she nodded and agreed.

After lunch and a lunch break, Jiang Rui did not come to look for her. It seemed that she wanted to help Grandma Jiang keep an eye on the kitchen and wait for the family banquet time before coming over to ask her to come along.

Shi Yan was currently waiting for Jiang Rui to call for her.

The courtyard she lived in and Jiang Rui’s courtyard were on both sides of Grandma Jiang’s courtyard. Jiang Rui wanted to pass by the entrance of her courtyard when she went to the main building.

After a few minutes, a shout came from outside the courtyard.

“Xiao Yan, let’sgo!”

It was Jiang Rui’s voice.

Shi Yan turned off the television and took her phone out.

When she left the courtyard, she realized that apart from Jiang Rui, Grandma Jiang and Jiang Sheng were also there.

Shi Yan greeted them one by one, “Grandma Jiang, Rui’er, Young Master Jiang.”

Grandma Jiang waved at her, “Little Yan, come over and help Grandma Jiang. I’m getting old and my legs aren’t working properly.”

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Rui were speechless

She was so energetic just a moment ago and didn’t want anyone to help her. Now her legs weren’t working properly?

Shi Yan walked over to help Grandma Jiang. Grandma Jiang said to Jiang Cheng and Jiang Rui, “You two go ahead. I have something to say to Little Yan alone.”

Jiang Rui and Jiang Cheng looked at each other. Although they were suspicious, they did not ask much.

“Let’s go, Brother.”

Jiang Rui held Jiang Cheng’s hand and quickened her pace.

The two of them were quite a distance away from each other. Grandma Jiang then patted Shi Yan’s hand and asked gently, “Xiao Yan, I heard from Xiao Zhao that you met the Fifth Master at the Lotus Pond Pavilion in the afternoon?”

Xiao Zhao was someone that Grandma Jiang had sent to take care of her. Since Shi Yan had told Xiao Zhao about this, she did not think that she would be able to hide it from Grandma Jiang. It was within her expectations that Grandma Jiang would ask about it. However, she did not expect Grandma Jiang to ask about it so quickly.

It seemed that the Fifth Master Jiang was really special in the Jiang family.

“Yes, Grandma Jiang. At first, I didn’t know it was the Fifth Master Jiang. I only saw him appear there alone in a wheelchair, without anyone by his side. I was worried that it would be inconvenient for him to go back, so I suggested sending him off. I only made a slight guess about his identity after sending him to the bamboo garden.

“Grandma Jiang, is there anything wrong?”
