She Is From The Countryside

Was Going to the Bamboo Garden

“Miss Shi, aren’t you going to read today?” Xiao Zhao asked Shi Yan, who was watching TV on the sofa in the living room, while cleaning.

Shi Yan had been in the living room for a long time, and the TV in the living room had not been turned on more than five times. Today, after she woke up, washed up, and finished her breakfast, Shi Yan had been sitting in the living room watching TV until noon.

It was almost twelve o’clock in the afternoon.

Saying that she was watching television did not seem to be the case. When Xiao Zhao passed by, she glanced at the television a few times. Several times, she saw that the television was broadcasting the same channel, and she did not see her changing the channel when a commercial came on.

Shi Yan was still wearing her usual clothes today, but her hair was scattered.

Normally, her clothes were more casual, and it was very suitable for her to wear at home.

However, if she said that she was not watching TV, then she had sat on the sofa and stared at the TV for a long time. She did not do anything else. Occasionally, she held her phone and the remote control.

However, it was Shi Yan. It was rare for her to take off her shoes and sit lazily on the sofa. She usually sat upright. At most, she would relax and lean against the sofa after sitting for a long time.

Hearing Xiao Zhao’s question, Shi Yan looked away from the television.

She smiled and said, “I’ll watch it later.”

Seeing that her expression was normal, Xiao Zhao did not ask further.

She thought to himself that Miss Shi read almost every day. Perhaps she just wanted to rest.

“It’s almost lunchtime. Where are you going to have lunch today, Miss Shi?”

The reason why Xiao Zhao asked this was because Shi Yan would occasionally go to the main building to eat. Occasionally, she would go to Grandma Jiang’s courtyard to accompany the old lady. Sometimes, she would go to Jiang Rui’s courtyard to accompany the two of them. However, most of the time, Shi Yan would ask Xiao Zhao to send food to her small courtyard to eat alone.

“Let’s eat here.”

If Grandma Jiang or Jiang Rui wanted to invite her over for lunch, they would usually tell her about it half an hour before lunch time. She usually would not take the initiative to ask them out.

She was a guest in the Jiang family, so it was not appropriate for her to ask them out.

Today, Grandma Jiang and Jiang Rui did not inform her in advance about having lunch together. Most likely, they had their own plans.

Usually, if they had other plans, they would occasionally inform Shi Yan. Most of the time, they would only tell Shi Yan if they could not have dinner together, so lunch was more casual.

This was because they felt that if they asked her about three meals a day, Shi Yan would feel more like a guest. It would be difficult for her to fit in with the family, and she would be even more uncomfortable. They might as well be more natural and treat Shi Yan as one of their own. They did not neglect her, but they also did not care about her at all times.

Of course, the main reason was that Grandma Jiang had sent Little Zhao over to take care of Shi Yan. The old lady knew that with Little Zhao around, Shi Yan would be taken care of.

Before Shi Yan moved into the Jiang family, Little Zhao had actually stayed by the old lady’s side.

“Then I’ll bring the food over later.”

“Okay. Thank you, Sister Zhao.”

Little Zhao smiled and said that she wasn’t too polite, then continued to work.

However, when she was about to go to the kitchen to get the food, she met Jiang Rui at the entrance of the courtyard.

“Little Zhao, has Little Yan eaten yet?”

“No, I was just about to go to the main building to get the food.”

“Then get more. I’ll eat with Little Yan.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Rui ran into the yard and shouted happily as soon as she entered the house, “Xiao Yan!”

Shi Yan took a look at Jiang Rui’s outfit and turned down the TV. She asked with a smile, “Did you just come back from outside?”

“Of course. My cousin called me early in the morning to pick him up at the airport.”

“You picked him up? Aren’t the drivers of the old mansion available?”

Shi Yan knew that there were three chauffeurs in the Jiang family’s old mansion. They were only the chauffeurs of the old mansion. Usually, they were in charge of Grandma Jiang and Jiang Rui’s trips. Occasionally, they would be sent to pick up some people who came to the old mansion as guests. The other people in the Jiang family either drove their own cars or had their own chauffeurs.

For example, Jiang Cheng had his own chauffeur.

“No, the chauffeurs were all free. My cousin doesn’t have to go to class during the holidays. Second uncle and second aunt aren’t often at home. He’s at home alone, worried that he’ll go crazy. Usually, grandmother asks him to come back to the old mansion during the holidays. If we let the chauffeur from the old residence pick him up, grandmother will definitely be alarmed. He has to come back immediately.

“He said that he has an appointment with a friend and will only be back in the evening, so he asked me to pick him up.”

Shi Yan said in a rare joking tone, “Then he can totally take a taxi back by himself.”

He was afraid of alerting the old residence, so wouldn’t it be even more quiet if he took a taxi back by herself?

“He said that there are three of them and they have quite a lot of luggage, so it’s inconvenient to take a taxi. I had to get up early in the morning to drive to the airport, even though I had planned to sleep in. That Brat didn’t even treat me to a meal. He asked me to bring their luggage back and went to play by himself.”

As Jiang Rui said this, she sat down on the sofa and cursed, “Heartless.”.

Shi Yan smiled and got up to pour her a glass of water.

“So you haven’t had lunch yet?”

“Yes. I had a loaf of bread for breakfast, and now I’m starving,” Jiang Rui said exaggeratedly.

She thanked her and took the water from Shi Yan.

“Then let’s eat together. I haven’t eaten either, so I’ll call Sister Zhao and ask her to bring more food.”

“No, no! I met Xiao Zhao at the door.

“But you, Xiao Yan...”

Jiang Rui looked at Shi Yan who was sitting back on the sofa and then at the TV.

She said in surprise, “You’re not reading today, but watching TV!”

“I wanted to rest for a day.”

Shi Yan’s expression did not change, and her smile did not change at all.

Jiang Rui did not doubt her words at all.

“It’s good to rest. Reading all day hurts my eyes.”

After drinking the water in the cup, Jiang Rui suddenly asked, “Xiao Yan, do you have any plans between the afternoon and the evening?”

Shi Yan was stunned and said, “Yes.”

Jiang Rui was just asking casually, so she did not expect that she really had plans. She was a little surprised for a moment.

“You have plans? Is there something you need? Do you need my help?”

Jiang Rui knew that if she was just reading, Shi Yan would not say that she had an arrangement. Previously, when she asked Shi Yan out, Shi Yan would not reject her on the grounds that she wanted to read.

It was as if to Shi Yan, reading was not a job, but a pastime. She would not let reading affect her normal interpersonal relationships and life.

“I have something to do at the Bamboo Garden.”

Shi Yan did not hide anything. When she said this, if one looked carefully, they would find that her smile was more brilliant than usual.

Her eyes were twinkling with starlight.

However, her light words shocked Jiang Rui.

“Bamboo, bamboo garden?!”

Shi Yan smiled faintly.

“You… You...” After a long time, Jiang Rui could not utter a complete sentence. Finally, she spat out two words. “You’re awesome!”

Shi Yan smiled and did not say anything.

After a long while, the shock in Jiang Rui’s heart finally calmed down slightly. She looked at Shi Yan with a complicated gaze and said, “Then you go ahead and do what you need to do. Fifth Uncle’s appointment will take you to another appointment. I don’t have the courage.”

However, Shi Yan said, “You originally planned to let me accompany you to an appointment? Is it necessary to go to the appointment? If it is, and there’s still time, I can accompany you.”

Jiang Rui felt that Shi Yan was the most gentle girl she had ever seen.

“No need, no need. It’s not a serious appointment. It’s just a trap set up by my brother and a few of his close friends. I originally wanted to bring you to meet some people so that you would have more support in Sea City in the future. Since you have more important things to do, there’s no need to rush. Anyway, they set up a trap every two to three days.”

“Thank you, Rui’er.”

Shi Yan looked at Jiang Rui with a gentle smile on her face.

She knew that Jiang Rui was thinking of her, but to be honest, she did not want to show her face in the upper-class circle of Sea City for the time being.

If her name spread in this circle, her short-term stability would be broken, let alone being able to show her face. Fortunately, the outside world only knew that a guest had come to Sea City’s Jiang family, and not many people knew the name of the guest.

Jiang Rui left after lunch.

Shi Yan went upstairs after lunch, and it was already 4:30 in the afternoon when she went downstairs.

4:50, Bamboo Garden.

“Fifth Master, it seems to be raining outside!”

The person who was sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper immediately put down the newspaper and stood up, walking to the door.

It was indeed getting dark. It looked like rain was going to fall at any moment.

“Give me the umbrella!”

His voice was mellow and clear, but there was a hint of anxiety in it.

Master five was getting anxious.

Our smoke is going to make a stunning appearance after she dresses up.
