She Is From The Countryside-Chapter 34

He Didn’t Dare to Meddle In His Affairs

Kong Xiangxiang didn’t know what to say.

She wanted to refute her words, but found that she couldn’t.

Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Jiang Rui had an expression that said, ‘Mom, you can’t do this. My brother isn’t young anymore. If you wait for a few more years, my brother will still be single. You’ll have to worry about him.’

“I’m not in a hurry.”

It was Jiang Cheng who spoke first.

Jiang Cheng looked at them and said, “I’m not in a hurry when it comes to finding a partner.” 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

Jiang Rui was stunned.

She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but why did she feel that her brother was especially serious when he said that?

“If you’re not in a hurry, then so be it. Brother, why are you so serious? I was just joking. You’re only 24 years old right now. Your career is important, so there’s no hurry for your marriage.”

Jiang Rui heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that her brother’s gaze did not seem as scary as before.

What the hell? Twenty-four and he had never been in a relationship before, but she was not even allowed to mention it.

Even though she was shocked by Jiang Cheng, Jiang Rui still did not forget her purpose.

She continued, “Mother, you have to take my words to heart. Don’t be too demanding. Otherwise, when will you be able to have a grandchild?”

After saying that, she did not need to lift her head to feel her brother’s death stare. She quickly moved the stool away from him.

She had to be a coward.

Kong Xiangxiang saw her cowardice. She was both angry and amused.

“You’re the only one who knows how to talk!”

At the same time, she was also very gratified.

They had a good relationship as siblings. As a mother, she was also happy. At the very least, with Rui’er as a sister, Ah Sheng was no longer an emotionless and cold person.

Jiang Rui ignored Kong Xiangxiang’s glare and giggled foolishly.

Seeing that they had finally finished speaking, Jiang Qing, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up.

“Alright, let’s eat.” He picked up some food for Kong Xiangxiang. “I told you that you were worried about nothing all day, but you didn’t believe me.

“How old is our son? He can handle these matters by himself. Do you have to manage everything? How much do you have to worry about?

“Let’s not talk about the fact that our son and that little girl, Shi Yan, are not interested in each other. If they are, do you think you can stop our son from being together with that little girl?”

Kong Xiangxiang remained silent.

“Or do you think that your son can’t protect the Jiang family in Sea City with his ability? That he has to rely on his future wife?”

Of course, Kong Xiangxiang did not think so.

In her eyes, her son, Jiang Cheng, was the most outstanding person there was.

“Yes, yes, yes. All of you are right. I’m the only one who is wrong, okay?”

Jiang Qing sighed lightly, “I’m not saying that you are wrong. Shi Yan is just a little girl, and she’s also a little girl who has no one to rely on. Since she was invited by mother to stay at our house, we should at least not make things difficult for her as a junior, not to mention that we should treat her as a good host.”

Kong Xiangxiang stopped talking. She glared at Jiang Qing and buried her head in her food.

No one paid any attention to her.

After leaving the villa, Jiang Rui sat in Jiang Cheng’s car.

There was a chauffeur, and the two of them sat in the back seat.

“Mom is really worrying about nothing,” Jiang Rui said.

Then, she looked at Jiang Cheng and asked curiously, “But brother, what kind of girl do you like? I’ve never seen you treat any girl as special.”

Jiang Cheng’s gaze fell on her face. “You’re not special enough for me?”

“Me?” Jiang Rui pointed at herself in surprise and then grinned. “I don’t count. I’m your sister.”

Jiang Cheng fixed his gaze on her, which stunned Jiang Rui.

“Brother, why are you looking at me like that?”

He shifted his gaze slightly and didn’t answer her question. Instead, he asked, “What’s with the pastry you mentioned just now?”

When Jiang Rui learned that Kong Xiangxiang had asked them to come over for dinner, she secretly called Jiang Cheng and told him that Kong Xiangxiang had asked Shi Yan out for coffee. Other than that, she also asked Jiang Cheng to make it clear to Kong Xiangxiang that he didn’t have that kind of intention towards Shi Yan, in addition to asking Kong Xiangxiang to stop making things difficult for Shi Yan.

However, Jiang Rui didn’t mention the details of Kong Xiangxiang asking Shi Yan out for coffee, so Jiang Cheng didn’t know that Shi Yan had received a box of pastries from Jiang Wu.

He asked about it now because he knew his mother well. When Jiang Rui mentioned the pastries, Kong Xiangxiang had such a big reaction, so he paid attention to her.

Jiang Rui hesitated for a moment, then told him about the incident where she went shopping with Shi Yan and ran into Jiang Che.

After listening to Jiang Rui’s words, Jiang Cheng’s expression was a little complicated.

“You’re saying that Miss Shi helped Fifth Uncle, and Fifth Uncle even went to find an elder to make pastries to thank Miss Shi?”

“That’s right. Actually, when I first heard about this, I was also very shocked. However, brother, this matter concerns Fifth Uncle, so we’d better not get involved. This matter will end here, so don’t mention it to others.”

Jiang Cheng didn’t need Jiang Rui’s reminder to know what to do.

But…

He looked at Jiang Rui.

“You seem to like that Miss Shi very much, so you’re not worried...”

“Brother, I admit that I treat Xiao Yan as a friend. A true friend. But even if we’re friends, we can’t interfere too much in each other’s personal affairs, right?” Jiang Rui interrupted him with a smile.

“If Xiao Yan isn’t willing, it’s fine if I interfere. But what if Xiao Yan is willing? Wouldn’t it make me a bad friend if I interfere?”

“I know that if Xiao Yan is involved with Fifth Uncle, she will have a lot of trouble to deal with in the future, and Xiao Yan, who doesn’t have any background, will have even more difficulties. But...

“What if? What if it happens? I think that with Fifth Uncle’s ability, he will definitely be able to protect Xiaoyan.”

As she said this, Jiang Rui spread her hands helplessly. “Besides, is Fifth Uncle’s matter something that we can meddle in? Meddling in Fifth Uncle’s matters, or this kind of private matter...”

Jiang Rui shivered.

“I don’t dare.”

Jiang Cheng patted her head in relief, “I’m glad that you can think like that.”

Then he said with a serious expression, “Although Fifth Uncle is living in the old mansion now, we still have to pay attention to the boundaries we shouldn’t cross.”

“I know.”

The next day.

After breakfast, Shi Yan and Jiang Rui went out at around 10 o’clock.

When Jiang Rui learned that Shi Yan was going shopping to buy clothes, she was very excited. Before they reached the mall, she had already started fantasizing about how Shi Yan would look after she changed into beautiful clothes. She could not help but sigh that Shi Yan should have done this a long time ago. Otherwise, it would be a waste of her good figure and good looks.

Jiang Rui had come to pick out suitable clothes for Shi Yan. She had brought her to a luxury shopping mall. She felt that with Shi Yan’s temperament, ordinary clothes were not good enough for her. As for whether Shi Yan could afford it or not, it did not matter at all. She had no intention of letting Shi Yan spend money today.

“Xiao Yan, I often come to these shops. Let’s go in and take a look.”

Shi Yan did not have any objections and nodded with a smile.

Even if they were in a luxury shopping mall like this, Shi Yan’s simple outfit of a white T-shirt with a pair of black pants and white sneakers did not seem out of place at all.

With her reserved and elegant temperament, similar to that of a lady’s, even a rag would give off a noble and elegant aura when worn by her.

Anyway, that was what Jiang Rui thought.

As for Shi Yan coming to such a high-end shopping mall without showing any fear, Jiang Rui was already used to it. After all, she had served Shi Yan for a long time and had taken her to many places, so she already had a rough understanding of Shi Yan.

Not to mention standing in such a high-end shopping mall. Even standing in a solemn palace in ancient times, Jiang Rui also felt that Shi Yan would not have stage fright.

She was too indifferent. Things in the world seemed to be the same in her eyes, and she was not shocked at all.

Oh, she almost forgot. Fifth Uncle seemed to be an exception.

“Eh, Sister Shuang Shuang, do you see Jiang Rui over there?”

Not far away, two girls walked out of a shop and happened to see Jiang Rui and Shi Yan walking into the shop.

“I think so.”

“Who’s the girl next to her?”

“I’m not sure.”

“Could she be the guest from the Jiang family who came from the countryside and has a very good reputation in Sea City recently? I heard that Madame Jiang of the Jiang family arranged for Jiang Rui to receive her personally.”

“I’m not sure.”

“Then should we go over and greet her?”

“Since we’ve met, it’s only right to greet her. Let’s go.”
