She Is From The Countryside-Chapter 559

559 Being blocked halfway

on the way back, the car sent by amy came to pick shi yan up. originally, jiang che had wanted to send someone to pick her up, but amy had sent a message saying that a car had been arranged, so shi yan had not asked jiang che to send someone over. he thought that amy had sent her subordinates, but he didn’t expect it to be cui hao, whom he had just seen this morning.

“miss yan, are we sending you back to the jiang family’s fifth lord?”

shi yan, who was sitting in the back seat, nodded.

The Moonview restaurant wasn’t far from Jiang Che’s Manor, but it wasn’t close either. If there wasn’t any traffic, it would take nearly 40 minutes to get there.

shi yan had thought that the journey would be smooth, but unexpectedly, there was still an accident.

however, she was not surprised. on the contrary, she felt that this was normal.

It happened 20 minutes after she got into the car. At that time, they had already left the bustling city and entered a relatively remote road.

The road was wide, but there were not many vehicles on the road. There were almost no pedestrians on the side of the road.

jiang che’s manor wasn’t in the city, but in the suburbs.

...

At first, Shi Yan didn’t know. She was leaning back against the car window and looking at the passing roadside scenery. It was Cui Hao who reminded her.

when cui hao looked into the rearview mirror again, his expression suddenly became serious. ” “miss yan, someone’s following us. do you want to shake them off?”

compared to cui hao’s grave expression, shi yan was much calmer.”how long have you been following me?”

“i’ve been following you for about 15 minutes. i think i’ve been following you not long after you left the moonview restaurant,”

They had been following him all the way, and Cui Hao didn’t even know who they were, so they couldn’t be Amy’s people.

“don’t bother.” Shi Yan said.

She didn’t even turn back to look.

initially, cui hao was a little worried. he was not worried about himself, but about shi yan’s safety. Seeing that Shi Yan was so calm, he also slowly calmed down.

they didn’t speed up or slow down. they just kept driving at the same speed. in a few minutes, the car behind them caught up.

he immediately stepped forward to block their path.

Cui Hao had to stop the car.

...

shi yan didn’t say anything, so he didn’t do anything. after parking the car, he sat in the car and had no intention of getting out to check. then, someone got out of the car in front of him and knocked on the window of the driver’s seat.

Cui Hao turned around and looked at Shi Yan questioningly. After receiving her signal, he rolled down the window.

“is the person in the car student shi yan?”

student shi yan, this form of address?

Shi Yan raised her eyebrows and smiled.

There weren’t many people in the capital who would address her in such a special way.

“is there something?” Cui Hao didn’t answer him, but asked expressionlessly.

“It seems that the person in the car is Shi Yan.” the bodyguard looked through the window at the back seat and could only vaguely see a girl sitting in the back seat. due to the angle, he could not see the other party’s face clearly. ” shi yan, my miss would like to meet you. ”

without waiting for shi yan to say anything, cui hao asked,”who is your young miss?”

“sir, there’s no need to be so nervous. my family’s eldest miss doesn’t have any ill intentions. it’s just that she had some contact with student shi yan in haicheng before and could barely be considered friends. when she learned that student shi yan had come to the capital, she, as the host, wanted to personally receive student shi yan and catch up with her.”

Instead of answering his question directly, he was avoiding it. It was obvious that he came with ill intentions, and Cui Hao was already displeased.

...

frowning, he was about to ask again when shi yan, who was sitting in the back seat, spoke. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

” your family’s eldest young miss is so hospitable. it would be unreasonable if i don’t go and meet her. i’ll go and meet her then. ”

her voice was pleasant but gentle, and her tone was very calm. the words that were supposed to be sarcastic had a different taste when she said them. it made people’s anger reach a critical point when they heard it, but they couldn’t. it was very uncomfortable.

The bodyguard’s expression changed again and again, but he didn’t dare to say anything more, for fear that Shi Yan would suddenly go back on her words.

let’s set the location at a leisure shop not far away.

this area wasn’t very lively, and there were very few customers in the leisure bar.

when shi yan entered, there was already someone sitting there.

In a small pavilion on the second floor.

It was a woman in a dark blue suit holding a cup of coffee. She had an elegant posture, but there was a hint of sharpness in her elegance.

This sense of sternness was especially obvious when she raised her eyes and looked at Shi Yan.

Shi Yan didn’t seem to notice it. She smiled and nodded in greeting.”miss xuan, long time no see.”

...

xuan siyun had thought that shi yan would be a little flustered when she was stopped on the road in this strange city. seeing that shi yan was as calm as ever and even greeted her with grace, she paid more attention to shi yan in her heart.

It seemed that she had underestimated this country bumpkin.

Yes, even now, Xuan Siyun still didn’t know the relationship between Shi Yan and the Shi family. this had nothing to do with her ability. it was purely because she was too conceited. she felt that the information she had found was accurate. even if she was a little suspicious at some point, she did not verify it.

or perhaps she subconsciously didn’t dare to verify it.

After all, she didn’t have much chance of winning against an orphan from the countryside who was valued by the fifth Lord, let alone a young lady from a prestigious family whose status wasn’t lower than hers.

“Long time no see,” Xuan Siyun replied with a smile.

“Student Shi, please have a seat.”

Shi Yan walked over and sat opposite her.

“i really had no choice but to invite student shi over in this way. i hope student shi doesn’t blame me.”

shi yan smiled at her.

there was no response.

...

She didn’t look embarrassed and kept smiling.”I found this place at the last minute. It’s a bit impolite to ask you here. It’s a good thing that the food here is edible. Student Shi, please order whatever you want to drink and eat. Don’t stand on ceremony.”

he handed the menu to shi yan, but shi yan didn’t take it.

“no, thank you.”

Xuan Siyun didn’t force him and put the menu back on the table.

She stirred her coffee and waited for Shi Yan to speak first. Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, Shi Yan still didn’t speak. She only saw Shi Yan sitting quietly with a smile the entire time. Xuan Siyun, on the other hand, couldn’t sit still.

She wasn’t very old and wasn’t someone who had seen much of the world, but this Shi Yan was actually so calm! She had known many young ladies from rich families, but she had never seen anyone who could sit opposite her as steadily as Shi Yan.

It was no wonder that even a figure like the fifth Lord Jiang had a different opinion of her. It seemed that Shi Yan had some other outstanding qualities besides her outstanding appearance.

“student shi, aren’t you curious why i asked to meet you?”

she used the word “invite” to try to cover up her “blocking” behavior.

shi yan didn’t avoid her gaze. she smiled and looked back.”didn’t miss xuan want to reminisce with me?”

“although i don’t know what i have to reminisce about with miss xuan.”

...

xuan siyun’s smile faded.

As if she didn’t see the slight change in her expression, Shi Yan continued to smile and said, ” if I remember correctly, the few times I met miss Xuan in Haicheng weren’t very pleasant. I heard from miss Xuan’s people that you and I can barely be considered friends. This makes me a little curious about what she means by friends.

” if you still consider us friends even though we don’t meet each other on a good note, then our standards of making friends might be a little different. ”
