Chapter 62: He already knew the truth
Translator: 549690339
When Jiang Cheng saw Shi Yan, he didn’t show any panic from being seen through. His expression was indifferent.
“miss shi, why are you here?” he stood up calmly.
it wasn’t that there were no signs. shi yan had already noticed something earlier, but she didn’t expect that the relationship between the two had already reached this stage.
seeing jiang cheng like this, it was probably not the first time he had stolen a kiss while jiang rui was asleep.
however, jiang cheng didn’t seem like someone who would mess around, especially when it came to his concern for jiang rui. anyone with eyes could see that if qianqian was the one who did it, she would definitely hurt jiang rui. jiang cheng probably wouldn’t do anything to hurt jiang rui, so there must be something she didn’t know about.
However, these were only her speculations. She still had to ask for the details.
She wasn’t a nosy person. In the past, she would pretend that she didn’t see anything when she encountered such a situation. However, this person was Jiang Rui, her only friend in so many years. She couldn’t just pretend that she didn’t see anything and leave.
He didn’t want to interfere, but at least he had to figure it out.
if jiang sheng was messing around and the matter was exposed in the future, jiang rui, the eldest daughter of the jiang family, would definitely be abandoned.
The young miss of the Jiang family, who had grown up pampered by many, had never suffered a single bit of hardship or grievance. Her status could almost be said to be the highest among the socialites of the aristocratic families in Haicheng.
He had a lively personality but wasn’t arrogant, he was smart but he didn’t act recklessly because of his cleverness and he knew his limits. Being born in a rich and powerful family, she knew how complicated this environment was, but she was never affected by it. She still maintained the innocence and kind heart of a young girl.
shi yan couldn’t bear to see jiang rui get hurt like this.
” sister zhao asked the kitchen to prepare some soup for me to sober up. i brought a bowl over for rui ‘er, but the doorbell seemed to be broken. i saw that the courtyard door was open and was worried about rui’ er, so i came in without permission. i’m sorry for being rude. ”
it’s alright. Miss Shi is just worried about Rui ‘er. Please come in.
after hesitating for two seconds, shi yan walked in.
jiang cheng took the soup from her and thanked her.
“Miss Shi, please have a seat.”
then, she brought the soup to wake jiang rui up.
Shi Yan took a look and sat down on the single-seater sofa.
jiang cheng patted jiang rui’s shoulder and said in a soft voice, ” “Rui ‘er, get up and drink some hangover soup before you sleep.”
jiang rui was woken up. she slapped his hand away without even opening her eyes and pouted.”i don’t want to drink.”
” be good and listen to me. get up and have a drink before you go to bed. miss shi specially sent this over for you. ”
“Yan? Is Yan here? Where is he?” She opened her eyes and looked around for Shi Yan, but she couldn’t see her even though she was sitting there.
One could see how drunk he was.
Jiang Cheng,”Yingluo.”
at the mention of miss shi, she was willing to wake up.
She was so heartless. He had raised her for so many years and she had never cared about him so much.
“drink the hangover soup first. miss shi brought it for you.”
“Drink, drink, quickly!”
After he finished speaking, he took the bowl and almost overturned the soup. Fortunately, Jiang Cheng reacted quickly.
He helped her sit up and slowly fed her in his arms. “drink slowly, no one’s snatching it from you.”
After finishing it in one gulp, Jiang Rui asked again,”where’s Yan?” where’s yan?”
After asking, she fell asleep again.
jiang cheng sighed helplessly and used his sleeve to wipe the corner of her lips. his actions were very light and gentle, and the way he looked at jiang rui was also very gentle.
He picked Jiang Rui up and said to Shi Yan,”ms. shi, please sit here for a moment. i’ll send rui ‘er back to her room first.”
shi yan nodded.
shi yan had seen how jiang sheng had treated jiang rui.
just as he had learned when he first arrived at the jiang family, the eldest young master of the jiang family, jiang cheng, was a cold and quiet person. he was the same not only to outsiders, but to the other members of the jiang family as well. he was only special to jiang rui.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Cheng came down from upstairs. He went into the kitchen to wash his hands and made a cup of tea for Shi Yan.
shi yan thanked him and took it.
shi yan sat on a single-seater sofa, and so did jiang cheng. the two of them sat opposite each other across a long coffee table. there was also a cup of tea in front of jiang cheng.
“since miss shi is still sitting here, she must have already considered rui ‘er as a friend.”
shi yan didn’t answer, tacitly agreeing.
“I’m very happy for Rui ‘er to have made a friend who truly loves her. don’t worry, miss shi. i’m the last person in the world who will hurt rui ‘er. i care about her more than anyone else.”
Shi Yan didn’t say much. She held the teacup and waited for him to continue.
Rui ‘er is not my biological sister. I knew it when she was ten years old.
Shi Yan had heard Jiang Rui mention it when they were chatting. She said that since she was ten years old, Jiang Cheng had taken over her Affairs. Her food, living, and studies were all taken care of by her brother. jiang rui also said that after she turned ten, the place she stayed the most was her courtyard and jiang cheng’s courtyard. it was also since she turned ten that her relationship with her brother, jiang cheng, became better and better.
“does rui ‘er know?” Shi Yan asked.
Even though she knew that she was asking for nothing.
“I don’t know. No one knows, including grandmother.”
“Rui ‘er and I have been close since we were young, and I accidentally found out that she wasn’t my biological sister. I was afraid that this matter would hurt her, so I took over her Affairs. From then on, the person who came into contact with her the most at home became me. With me personally watching, it won’t be easy for others to discover this matter.”
” it’s just that the development of things later was a little beyond my expectations. ”
he didn’t need to say it. shi yan knew that he was referring to the fact that he would have feelings for jiang rui.
since this is out of our expectations, young master Jiang should also understand that Rui ‘er’s background can not be hidden forever.
shi yan didn’t ask stupid questions like jiang sheng and jiang rui who was the child of the jiang family. it was obvious that jiang sheng was the biological son of the jiang family’s eldest master, jiang qing.
The father and son looked very similar.
I was planning to tell her the truth after Rui ‘er’s 20th birthday. That way, Rui’ er wouldn’t have to leave me for a day.
20 years old was the age where they could get married.
Jiang Cheng’s thoughts were clear, and he was very possessive of Jiang Rui.
“rui ‘er probably doesn’t know what young master jiang is thinking, right?”
If she had known that she was not a child of the Jiang family, Jiang Rui would not have been able to live so innocently. She would have been mentally tortured.
“she’ll know.”
“don’t worry, miss shi. no matter what i do in the future, i’ll get rui ‘er’s consent first and won’t force her to stay.” In Rui ‘er’s heart, no one is more important than me, her brother. She wouldn’t bear to let me be sad.”
shi yan,”yingluo.”
he was very confident.
however, as the young leader of the jiang family in sea city, he should have this confidence.
“Since no one knows about this, I’m sure that young master Jiang does have a younger sister. Where is this younger sister of yours now? It’s not appropriate for an outsider like me to ask too much about the Jiang family’s matters, but I’m afraid that someone will bully Rui ‘er in the future and scold her for taking over the Jiang family’s nest. So, even if it’s impolite, I still want to ask.”
“although i don’t know young master jiang well, i believe that young master jiang must be capable and cautious to be able to take over the family at such a young age. after knowing that rui ‘er is not your biological sister, you will definitely investigate it in detail. Now that nine years have passed, with young master Jiang’s ability, you should have already investigated everything that should be investigated.”
“Indeed, I’ve investigated everything that needs to be investigated.”
