334 This is my boyfriend
Shi Yan did not know what was happening inside. She was talking to Ren Kexin and Chang ru.
“Shi Yan, why did you suddenly acknowledge me as your master? It’s actually our Academy’s Vice Principal! Our Academy’s Vice Principal is a famous scholar. There are many people who want to become his disciples, but he has never accepted any.”
“We were all shocked when we received your invitation the other day. I thought you might be busy preparing for the apprenticeship banquet, so I held back from calling you to ask.”
as soon as they met, ren kexin started to talk.
“So, Shi Yan, after you apply for a master’s degree and PhD, you will be under professor Li’s guidance?” chang ru asked.
“yes.”
“Congratulations!” The two of them said sincerely.
He then handed the gift to her. Shi Yan thanked him and took it.
The three of them were talking when someone else came.
it was shi bochen.
there was another person beside shi bochen.
it was an old man with a walking stick.
seeing that shi yan was looking behind them, ren kexin and chang ru stopped talking and turned to follow shi yan’s line of sight.
When they saw Shi Bochen supporting an old man, their expressions changed slightly and they hurriedly went to see Shi Yan’s reaction.
They didn’t know what had happened to Shi Yan and her family, nor had they inquired about it.
however, they had seen shi yan, shi bochen, and shi pochen together. in addition, they had seen shi pochen’s excited look when he saw shi yan in the restaurant’s private room that day. it was not difficult to guess that shi yan had a conflict with her family.
The old man Shi Bochen was supporting was most likely an elder of Shi Yan’s family.
they were worried that shi yan would be affected by the other’s sudden appearance.
He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Shi Yan’s expression did not change.
“Sister Yan,” Shi pochen felt a little nervous when he met Shi Yan’s gaze.
he didn’t plan to bring his grandfather along because he was afraid that he would make sister yan unhappy if he brought his grandfather to see her.
However, his grandfather had asked him to bring him over, and he could not refuse.
Moreover, his grandfather had seen the contents of the invitation and knew the location of the banquet. Even if he didn’t bring his grandfather along, his grandfather would probably come by himself.
his grandfather was getting on in years, and he was worried about his grandfather going out alone.
Moreover, since grandfather had said that he wanted to see sister Yan, he must have come to apologize to her.
the third branch of the family really owed sister yan an apology.
He had to meet her.
“Y-Yanyan.” When the white-haired old man with a walking stick saw Shi Yan, his eyes trembled.
shi yan subconsciously tightened her grip on the gift that chang ru and the other person handed to her.
however, he quickly let go and his expression returned to normal.
“third grandpa.” she smiled and nodded.
Ren Kexin lowered her head and said, ” “shi yan, let’s go in first. it’s cold outside and you’re wearing very little. don’t stay outside for too long.”
After he finished speaking, he pulled Chang ru into the room.
shi jinlei had never expected to meet again in such a situation after nine years.
yanyan looked at him with no resentment, not even anger, only a calm indifference. it was as if he wasn’t a relative or an elder to her, just someone she knew but wasn’t too familiar with.
Shi Jinlei had mixed feelings about this.
“You, Yanyan, you’ve grown up.”
shi jinlei opened his mouth and only said this after a long while.
“It’s been nine years. It’s normal for him to grow up.” shi yan said with a smile.
“i didn’t know that third grandpa was in haicheng. i didn’t send you an invitation to the apprenticeship banquet today.”
She was polite and courteous.
But he was being too polite.
it didn’t seem like his attitude towards his family.
shi jinlei looked at her in a daze. his lips moved, but he could not say anything for a long time.
Yanyan, you … Don’t have to treat me like an outsider. I’m your third Grandpa. I’m your family and your elder.
shi yan didn’t answer him. she just smiled and said,”no matter what, it’s impolite to not send you an invitation.”
“third grandpa, please come in.”
However, Shi Jinlei did not enter immediately. Instead, he stood a few steps away from her and looked at her with a complicated expression. He stared at her for a long time before saying with self-blame and regret, ” “Yanyan, I’m sorry for what happened back then.”
shi yan tightened her grip on the gift box.
A hand wrapped around her waist from behind, and a familiar clear breath approached.
It was Jiang che.
shi yan relaxed. almost instinctively, her body weight leaned towards jiang che.
Her face was filled with her usual elegant and calm smile.”third grandpa, you don’t have to apologize to me. no one was wrong in what happened back then. we just had our own standpoints.”
“i don’t blame anyone. third grandpa, you don’t have to feel burdened.”
shi jinlei could tell that she really did not blame him.
this made him feel worse than blaming him.
she did not even have the time to care about jiang che, who had suddenly appeared and held her in his arms. shi jinlei just looked at her like that, as if he wanted to say something but did not know what to say.
“Why is third Grandpa here?”
It was Shi Bozhen’s voice that broke the somewhat depressing atmosphere.
As he walked closer, Shi boxiao took off his mask and sunglasses, revealing his slightly evil and unruly face.
Shi Jinlei also looked at him.
He didn’t have as much of an emotional fluctuation as Shi Yan did, but he wasn’t calm either.
“it’s bo di.”
Shi Bozhen’s lips curled into a smile, looking even more unruly.”It’s me, third Grandpa.”
His attitude towards the old man was still considered good. If it was the elders of the second branch that appeared here, he might have said a few words to them. But it was the third branch that came, so he did not say anything.
she looked at shi bochen and asked,’bochen, why didn’t you tell me that your grandfather was coming to haicheng? There’s no such thing as an elder meeting a junior. It should be us, the juniors, who should meet him.”
shi bochen was to blame for bringing her over without any prior notice.
naturally, shi bochen could tell.
he felt bitter in his heart.
He couldn’t stop his grandfather from coming to see sister Yan.
he wanted to call sister yan to inform her in advance, but he was afraid that it would affect her mood. today was her apprenticeship banquet, and she was so serious in preparing for it. she should be happy.
Then let her be happy for as long as she could.
That’s why he didn’t call her in advance to inform her.
but in the end, he was still in the wrong.
it was only right for second brother to be angry.
If it was possible, he hoped that sister Yan would be angry with him, but she didn’t.
“i came here on my own when i found out that yanyan has an apprenticeship banquet. you’ll have to see him eventually. it doesn’t make a difference whether i come to see you or you come to see me. ” Shi Jinlei said.
she then looked at shi yan and said seriously and self-reproachfully,”No matter what, Yanyan, I’m going to apologize to you personally, even if you don’t care.”
“I won’t be going to your apprenticeship banquet. I don’t want my presence to affect your good mood. i’m here just to see you and apologize to you in person. also, i want to tell you to go home. the shi family will always be your home.”
jiang che’s peach blossom eyes flashed with a cold light.
If not for the fact that this was a knot in miss Shi’s heart and that avoiding it was not a solution, he would have interrupted Shi Jinlei to stop him from saying these words.
to the others, miss shi looked normal and her emotions did not seem to be affected. but he knew that was not the case.
She was just good at hiding her emotions.
With her back against Jiang che, Shi Yan smiled at Shi Jinlei.”third grandpa, you don’t have to be so concerned about it. what happened in the past has long passed. it’s still the same sentence, everyone has their own stand, i don’t blame you. as for going back to the shi family, i’ll go back when i’m free in the future. you don’t have to worry.”
” you’re in haicheng, and it’s already very rude of me not to send you an invitation. there’s no reason for me to ask you to leave without entering. if third grandpa isn’t in a hurry, why don’t you go in and have a cup of tea? ”
as he spoke, he held the gift box with one hand and held jiang che’s hand with his free hand. he stood beside her and introduced her with a smile, ” by the way, third Grandpa, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Jiang che.
