She Is From The Countryside

220 An old friend of the fifth Lord Jiang

Jiang Rui’s smile disappeared, and she slammed her chopsticks on the table.

“Miss Xuan, you’ve crossed the line!”

“even the jiang family can’t talk about my fifth uncle’s matters easily, but you’re very capable. What, do you think that our Sea city’s Jiang family is inferior to your capital’s Xuan family, and that you’ve casually violated our family’s taboo and tried to obtain information about our family?”

she was wondering why xuan siyun kept staring at yan. it turned out that it was because of fifth uncle!

however, judging from xuan siyun’s expression, she only suspected that there was someone with fifth uncle. she wasn’t sure if it was yan.

but even so, it was obvious that he was trying to sow discord between them by calling yan an old friend of his fifth uncle. before he was sure if yan and fifth uncle had anything to do with each other, he tried to stir up trouble!

This effort!

She even said that he was fifth uncle’s old friend. She had never heard of fifth uncle having any good friends of the opposite sex. she had never even heard of her fifth uncle having any friends of the same gender, let alone friends of the opposite sex.

“You even dare to ask about my fifth uncle, as expected of the eldest miss of house Xuan! i’ll tell my fifth uncle about this, and i hope that miss xuan is really an old friend of my fifth uncle. otherwise, if my fifth uncle finds out that miss xuan has secretly inquired about him, i’m afraid the xuan family will be in big trouble!”

when jiang rui slammed her chopsticks on the table, xuan siyun’s smile disappeared.

However, as the heir of the Xuan family, she was able to keep her composure.

He didn’t fly into a rage out of humiliation. He just sat there and listened to Jiang Rui’s words without any emotions.

shi yan saw it all.

it was impossible for shi yan not to feel anything when she heard xuan siyun say that she was jiang che’s old friend and in a very familiar tone.

Jiang che was her man.

however, she didn’t show it on her face and continued to smile.

Xuan Siyun also saw Shi Yan’s reaction.

he was puzzled.

could she have guessed wrong? according to the information she had gathered, it was very likely that there was a woman by the fifth lord’s side. the main reason was that the fifth lord, who rarely left his home all year round, had recently gone out quite frequently, which was very unusual.

it was very unlikely that the fifth master jiang was going out frequently for work. the only thing she could think of was that he had a woman by his side.

The woman that fifth master Jiang, who didn’t go out all year round, was most likely to come into contact with was the Savior of the Jiang family’s old lady, who had moved into the Jiang family’s old mansion.

it was the girl in front of him.

Could it be that she was thinking too much, and that the Jiang family’s fifth Lord didn’t have any women by his side?

did he go out frequently because his injuries had recovered and he had the intention to go back to seize power and deliberately disclose the news to the capital?

thinking about it this way, xuan siyun felt that this guess was more likely than the fifth lord having a woman by his side.

After all, the fifth Lord Jiang was such a noble and pure figure that even power and wealth were beneath his notice. He could give up wealth and power as he pleased. It was unlikely that he would have any worldly desires when leaving the capital empty-handed.

There shouldn’t be any woman who could arouse his interest, not to mention that he would go out frequently for a woman.

thinking of this, xuan siyun didn’t care about shi yan anymore.

He looked at Jiang Rui, frowning slightly with a calm expression. “Rui ‘er, don’t be so impatient.”

It was as if Jiang Rui was just an insensible child in her eyes.

“I naturally know that news of your fifth uncle can not be easily inquired about, and I did not inquire either. It’s just that recently, there have been many people in the capital spreading news of your fifth uncle, so I’ve heard a lot. Besides, I’m an old friend of your fifth uncle, and I even paid him a visit at the Jiang family in Sea city a few days ago. He wouldn’t vent his anger on me and the Xuan family for such a trivial matter.”

When Jiang Rui heard that she had gone to the Jiang family to visit Jiang che, she almost subconsciously went to see Shi Yan’s reaction. Fortunately, she resisted the urge and did not go to see Shi Yan.

“did miss xuan see my fifth uncle?” he asked xuan siyun.

” not really. your fifth uncle hasn’t seen many guests since the incident. you’ve lived with him in the jiang family’s old mansion, so you should know this. ”

“after the incident, he has been particularly unwilling to see people from the capital. i am naturally no exception.”

She clearly did not see him, but her expression was very natural. It even gave people the feeling that she did not see him not because she did not have a deep relationship with Jiang che, but because Jiang che did not often meet guests, especially people from the capital, including her, an old friend.

if not for the inappropriate occasion, jiang rui would have given her a thumbs up.

as expected of the heir of house xuan, he was indeed extraordinary!

if it were any other girl, she would probably be embarrassed by now.

alright, let’s not talk about this. Look at you. It’s just a small matter and you’re so angry that you don’t even want to call her cousin. Xuan Siyun spoke like an older sister.

jiang rui snorted in her heart, but the anger on her face had already disappeared.

no matter what, she was still a member of the xuan family. her biological mother might even return to the xuan family. although they didn’t have any feelings for each other, as a daughter, she couldn’t completely cut off her biological mother’s path.

if she offended xuan siyun, the heir of the xuan family, too much, it would be a lot of trouble when her biological mother returned to the xuan family in the future.

“Please forgive me, cousin. Fifth uncle’s matter is not only limited to the Jiang family. It is a taboo for many people. When I suddenly heard that cousin seemed to have inquired about fifth uncle’s news, I couldn’t help but have a big reaction.”

without waiting for xuan siyun to reply, jiang rui said,”but fortunately, cousin sister was talking about my fifth uncle in front of me. if she were to talk about it in front of my brother, father, or grandmother, i’m afraid today’s matter would not be so easily let go.”

only then did xuan siyun seriously size jiang rui up.

He had thought that she was just an arrogant little girl who had grown up being pampered.

The old lady of the Jiang family was really good at educating people. Jiang Rui’s courage was enough to make her a Big Shot in the capital.

Fortunately, she was born in Haicheng.

The Xuan family didn’t care about grandchildren, grandchildren, or grandchildren. They only looked at ability.

it was said that if her aunt hadn’t given up her inheritance and chased yu wushuang to sea city, she would have been the next head of the xuan family.

“It’s cousin’s mistake. This meal is on me. Consider it an apology.”

After watching an exciting show, ye Chengcheng finally spoke up to smooth things over. “Alright, alright, it’s the first time you two cousins are meeting. Why do you have to make the atmosphere so stiff? the waiter has brought the dishes. let’s eat first.”

Looking at Xuan Siyun, then at Jiang Rui and Shi Yan sitting across from her, ye Chengcheng’s heart was in turmoil.

she had thought that xuan siyun was interested in jiang sheng and was here to meet jiang rui’s love rival. she didn’t expect her to be interested in jiang rui’s fifth uncle!

isn’t that shi yan’s boyfriend?

that night, when she saw him in the private room, he was indeed a very good man.

listening to the conversation between xuan siyun and jiang rui, why did she feel that the fifth lord jiang’s identity was not simple?

Her friendship with Xuan Siyun wasn’t very deep. Since the fifth Lord of the Jiang family wasn’t simple and many people in the capital were afraid of him, she didn’t want to cause trouble for herself. the fact that shi yan was the fifth lord jiang’s girlfriend would have to wait for xuan siyun to discover it herself. she wouldn’t meddle in it.

After the two of them had a fight, everyone was very quiet during the meal.

Halfway through the meal, ye Chengcheng tried to ease the atmosphere and everyone raised their cups to drink tea. Shi Yan suddenly smiled and asked Xuan Siyun, ” “is miss xuan an old friend of the jiang family’s fifth master?”
