She Is From The Countryside

Formal Self-introduction

Shen Miao, a beautiful woman in a cheongsam, was also a little surprised, especially when she saw the reaction of the person in the wheelchair when he saw Shi Yan.

Her gaze moved between the man in the wheelchair and Shi Yan.

This girl…

After a long time, Jiang Rui recovered from her shock and replied, “I know him.”

Only Jiang Lin, who was pushing the wheelchair, could be considered calm.

However, he only appeared calm on the surface.

To be able to meet her like this, he was truly exceptional.

Jiang Lin nodded at Jiang Rui and greeted her, “Young Miss.”

Then, he nodded at Shi Yan.

Him addressing her as Young Miss made Shen Miao and Shen Yuying instantly know who Jiang Rui was. Shen Miao smiled gently and said, “So you are a child of the Jiang family of Sea City.”

Jiang Rui did not know how to address her, but it was obvious that she was her fifth uncle’s elder whom she had to treat respectfully. She naturally did not dare to neglect her.

She said politely, “Hello.”

Shen Miao nodded and turned to Shi Yan.

“Who is this again?”

It seemed like she was asking Jiang Rui, but she was actually looking at the man in the wheelchair from the corner of her eyes. Interest flashed in her eyes.

“She is...”

Just as Jiang Rui was about to speak, she was interrupted by someone.

However, it was not an introduction. Instead, he looked directly at Shi Yan and said, “We meet again.”

Shi Yan replied with a faint smile, “Yes, we meet again.”

Jiang Rui looked at her fifth uncle and then at Shi Yan. She was completely stunned.

What was going on? How did Xiao Yan and her fifth uncle know each other? And when did they meet?

“I wanted to prepare a formal gift to thank you for sending me back that day, but I didn’t expect to meet you here first.”

His voice was clear and gentle.

Looking at the pastry box in his hand, he said, “Aunt Shen’s pastry is very delicious. I wanted to give it to you to try.”

Shen Miao let out an “Oh” in her heart.

No wonder she suddenly received a call from him the day before yesterday, saying that he wanted to eat the pastry she made. At that time, she thought it was strange. Even though he always brought a box of pastry with him every time he came to her place, he had never taken the initiative to ask for it.

This was the first time.

Moreover, he was the one who called her personally!

It made her so excited that her visiting friend’s mood was all gone. She rushed back to make pastries for him.

As a result, she had just landed early this morning. As soon as she came back, she did not even have time to rest before she started making pastries. As soon as the pastries were ready, he came.

She thought that he had suddenly found his conscience and came to visit a lonely old woman like her. She did not expect that his purpose was actually here!

What a good fellow!

Ignoring the shock of the others, he continued, “Since we’ve met here, I’ll give you the pastries now. They taste better when they’re hot.”

Without needing him to say anything, Jiang Lin pushed his wheelchair forward.

He handed the pastry box to Shi Yan.

Shi Yan took a glance at the exquisite pastry box and then at the man sitting in the wheelchair, who had an outstanding appearance and temperament. After a few seconds of hesitation, she took it with a smile.

“It’s nothing, sir. You’re welcome.”

She actually took it!

This simply shocked Jiang Rui.

After spending so much time together, Jiang Rui already knew Shi Yan’s personality. She was definitely not the kind of person who would easily accept gifts from others!

However, she took fifth uncle’s pastries.

Moreover, fifth uncle actually came especially to look for an elder to make pastries for Xiao Yan!

Did she accidentally stumble upon something extraordinary?

She was a little excited!

The person in the wheelchair stood up from the wheelchair and extended his hand towards Shi Yan. “I didn’t manage to formally introduce myself the last time we met. I’m Jiang Che. It’s nice to meet you.”

Seeing him stand up from the wheelchair, a flash of surprise flashed across Shi Yan’s eyes, but she quickly recovered.

Holding the pastry box with one hand, she smiled and extended her right hand to shake his gently.

“Shi Yan. It’s nice to meet you too.”

The others did not react to his ability to stand up. They acted as if it was a matter of course.

In this way, there was nothing that Shi Yan did not understand.

It was not that he could not stand on his legs. It was probably because his body was not in a good condition and he needed to use a wheelchair to travel. After all, this would save a great deal of labor.

It was very normal for the two of them to release their grip after a light shake. However, it was unusual for this to happen to the two of them, especially to the fifth master of the Jiang family.

In any case, Jiang Rui was so shocked that she could not speak.

It was Shen Miao, an elder who was used to big waves, who was the first to react.

She smiled and said, “Since it’s someone Ah Che knows, why don’t we go in together and have a meal? It’s almost time to eat. Ah Che, don’t be in a hurry to leave.”

“Maybe next time. I still have something to do,” Jiang Che said.

Then, he nodded to Shi Yan and said, “Miss Shi, see you next time.”

“See you next time.”

He sat in the wheelchair again, and Jiang Lin pushed him out of the Shen Embroidery House.

Shen Miao suddenly could not figure out his thoughts.

Since he was interested in this girl in front of him, she had created an opportunity for him. He should cherish it. Why did he leave?

However, if he was not interested in this girl, he had still especially asked her to prepare pastries and even came to pick them up personally, just to give them to the girl to taste. What was going on?

As for his excuse of thanking her for the gifts, Shen Miao did not believe it. She had never seen him prepare any ordinary gifts for anyone, let alone preparing them with great effort.

Not only Shen Miao, Jiang Rui and Shen Yuying were also puzzled.

“Forget it. If he wants to leave, then leave. The two of you can stay for dinner. Aunty’s cooking skills are pretty good.”

Shen Miao’s voice fell, and Shen Yuying also smiled and said, “My master is right. The two of you can stay for dinner. I didn’t know there was such a relationship before. What a surprise.”

It was more than a surprise. Today’s incident was simply a shock.

It was also because she had followed her master for a long time that she had learned some ability to hide her emotions. Otherwise, how could she be so calm at this moment.

Her gaze fell on Shi Yan again.

Now that she looked at Shi Yan again, she felt completely different.

This girl could actually receive special treatment from that person.

Speaking of which, she had heard a lot of rumors recently that a guest from the Jiang family of sea city had arrived. She was Old Lady Jiang’s savior in her early years, and she was also an orphan from the countryside. Now, she was living in the Jiang family’s old mansion in Sea City. It was said that Old Lady Jiang intended to set her up with the young master of the Jiang family.

As she was living in the same mansion as that person, she rarely listened to gossip. She was also a little curious about this country girl who lived in the Jiang family’s old mansion in Sea City.

She did not expect the so-called country girl to be like this.

Jiang Rui did not respond immediately. Instead, she looked at Shi Yan.

Shi Yan smiled lightly and said, “I won’t trouble you today. When you are free, we will visit you again to try your good skills.”

Looking at the pastry box in her hand, Shi Yan smiled gently and said, “Thank you for the pastries.”

“I didn’t give you the pastries. Why are you thanking me? If you want to thank me, thank the person who gave you the pastries,” Shen Miaoxiao said with a smile. “Since you have said so, I won’t force you to stay. Come and play when you are free. I have nothing to do, so I’m basically in the shop.”

Shi Yan nodded with a smile, and the two of them paid the bill and left.

Shen Yuying had originally planned to not take their money, but Shi Yan and Jiang Rui insisted. In the end, Shen Yuying gave them a 20% discount.

Although it was a 20% discount, the handkerchief in Shi Yan’s hand cost more than 1,000 yuan.

It could be seen that the things here were not cheap.

Jiang Rui thought of the greeting gifts that Shi Yan had prepared for them. The money must have been quite a lot. To her, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, this amount of money was nothing. However, to Shi Yan, who had lived in the countryside since she was young and had no elders in her family, it was different.

She offered to help Shi Yan pay for the handkerchief, but Shi Yan insisted on not letting her pay. In the end, Jiang Rui had to compromise. She wanted to go out with Shi Yan in the future, and would try not to let Shi Yan pay for it.

Walking out of the embroidery shop and out of the alley, Jiang Rui’s eyes occasionally glanced at the exquisite pastry box in Shi Yan’s hand. Finally, she could not help but ask, “Xiao Yan, what’s going on between you and my Fifth Uncle?”
