Chapter 298
298 he had his own plans
qu boxin and shi bochen naturally did not have any objections to the visit to the jiang family. they had already planned to make a trip.
in the end, they decided to visit the jiang family the next day. shi yan did not mention that jiang che wanted to treat them to a meal alone.
Shi Yan had heard that most of the scenes for qu Bocheng’s new drama would be shot in Haicheng, so he would probably be in Haicheng for a long time.
If they stayed in Sea city Base, they would have a lot of chances to meet each other in the future.
They could eat at any time, so there was no rush. Shi Yan wanted to bring Jiang che here to show her face so that qu Boxin would not be unaware of their relationship and have a conflict when they met in the future.
The reason why qu Boyan didn’t know about this was because he had just come out of seclusion and didn’t know much about the recent events. in a few days, even if shi yan didn’t say anything, qu pocheng would know.
after coming out of the restaurant, shi yan didn’t ask them to send her back. she went back to her apartment.
Qu Boyan and Shi Bochen did not leave immediately. Shi Bochen suggested that they find a nearby cafe to sit for a while, and qu Boyan did not reject his suggestion.
“does anyone else know that you’re in sea city?” qu boxiao asked shi bochen, who was sitting opposite him.
no one knew at first, but I guess everyone who should know now knows. Shi Bochen’s tone wasn’t good.
ever since shi yan left home, the younger generation of the shi family had become more and more distant from the older generation.
although the others did not run away from home as decisively as qu bomin, they were very cold to the elders of the shi family.
all these years, they either lived on campus or lived alone outside. as long as they could avoid going back to the shi family, they would not.
now that they had grown up, they returned to the shi family even less.
shi boyu and shi bochen hadn’t returned to the shi family for at least half a year. since shi boran had taken over the family’s power, he had returned more often.
“How long will you stay in Haicheng?”
the exchange program has been going on for three months, but almost a month has passed.
Qu Boyan nodded and stirred his coffee. He paused and asked, ” “You’ve been in contact with your sister more recently. Do you know where she’s been living all these years?”
With the Shi family’s obstruction, qu Boyan still could not find any traces of Shi Yan all these years.
Shi Bochen shook his head and fell into a long silence.
after a long while, shi bochen felt that the atmosphere was too depressing and changed the topic. ” “second brother, you’ve ignored me all these years, so are you also blaming me?”
The moment he spoke, the atmosphere eased up a lot. When he thought about what he said, qu poxiao’s face darkened, ” “He’s just a little brat, what’s there to complain about?”
“Since I’m going to run away from home, I’ll do it cleanly. What’s the point of running away from home by keeping in contact with you? then what’s the point of me running away from home?”
Yes, qu pocheng’s running away from home was actually a scheme.
Even if he was angry and remorseful at first and didn’t want to stay in that house, he had a new plan after calming down.
it was impossible for the children of the shi family to not return home for their entire lives.
Even if he didn’t return, he didn’t want Shi Yan to stay away from home for the rest of her life.
The second branch had a small family. His father was pregnant in his generation, and he was also the only son.
The second branch of the family had forced Shi Yan the most back then. Qu Bochen wanted to atone for his sins and also hoped that his family would realize their mistakes by running away from home.
Only when they realized their mistakes and stopped making things difficult for Shi Yan, would Shi Yan be able to return to the Shi family one day and no one would force her.
This was qu Boyan’s plan.
It turned out to be very effective.
he knew very well that shi yan would not take the initiative to go back, and the elders of the shi family would not admit their mistakes, so they would not take the initiative to look for shi yan.
how could this be?
He wanted them to take the initiative to admit their mistakes in front of Shi Yan and invite Shi Yan home. Otherwise, he would not step into the Shi family’s house again.
shi bochen understood what he meant without further explanation.
Didn’t shi Bochen have the same thoughts?
Although their methods were different, their goals were the same.
the best proof of this was that he did not return to the shi family often these years. when he did, he would only visit his grandfather.
“what do i need to prepare for the visit to the jiang family tomorrow?” shi bochen asked.
“You don’t have to worry about this, I’ll prepare it. As a younger brother, you should act like one. With your brother here, what do you need to worry about?”
although shi bochen was a little annoyed by his words, he did not say anything.
*
shi yan and jiang che returned to the jiang family’s residence that day.
When su Yunzhi brought the two brothers, su mu and qu Boyan, to visit, it was almost ten in the morning. Shi Yan and Jiang che were playing chess in the living room of Bamboo Garden.
it was the butler.
“shall we continue after meeting the guests?” Jiang che asked Shi Yan as he held the chess piece in his hand.
“Alright,” he said.
jiang che stood up and handed shi yan the coat that she had hung at the side.
shi yan was wearing a long dress today, which matched her coat perfectly.
Jiang che was still wearing his usual black suit pants and white shirt, but he had also put on a coat before leaving.
just like that, they headed to the living room of the jiang family’s main building, hand in hand.
Turning back time to half an hour ago.
there were two cars that entered the jiang family’s old house. they were su mu’s and qu pomin’s.
su yunzhi had already informed the jiang family of her visit, so their visit was not too sudden.
The Jiang family of three was not present.
jiang fan and fang xiaoyu were doing research in the laboratory. jiang heng was in his third year of high school and did not have a break on weekends.
jiang qing and kong xiangxiang were there, as were jiang rui and jiang cheng. in addition, after old madam jiang had breakfast in the main building’s dining room, she didn’t go back and waited in the main building.
Hence, when they arrived, they were all sitting in the living room.
Aunt Wan and Xiao Zhao came forward to take their gifts. Jiang hai went to the bamboo garden to inform the guests about the visit.
when they walked in, the old lady’s gaze fell on qu bochen and shi bochen.
he couldn’t help but be amazed.
the shi family was indeed a talented family. yan’s brother looked about the same age as jiang heng. he was in his third year of college and had been admitted to the capital university. he had a calmness that was unlike boys his age.
no wonder yan was so mature three years ago when she was only 16 years old.
they were indeed a family.
“old madam jiang.” Su Yunzhi was the first to greet him.
The others stood up, including the old lady.
“yunzhi, i’ve watched you grow up. if you’re free, just come over. what’s the point of making such a big scene?”
Don’t Call Me Madam Jiang all the time. Call me Auntie like you did when you were young.
Today, as Shi Yan’s elder, su Yunzhi did not wear a professional suit. Instead, she wore a simple and elegant long dress, which made her look less domineering than usual.
“auntie,” he said with a smile.
“Usually, that’s usually the case. If I come to the Jiang family, I’ll definitely be very casual. It’s different this time. I’m here as Yanyan’s elder to thank Auntie and the Jiang family for taking care of her. ”
“you guys are too polite. i see yan as a junior in my family. in my heart, she’s one of us.”
“let’s sit down and talk,”
“Please sit.”
after they sat down, the old lady looked at qu bocheng and shi bochen. ” “These two must be Yan’s brother and brother, right?”
