542 Remind her to be on her guard

“thanks to yanyan’s blessing, i was personally diagnosed and given a prescription by the fifth lord jiang. my health is much better now, it’s not that exaggerated. if you’re busy, go ahead. i’ll stay with yanyan and the others to talk. i’ll take care of myself.” gu qingqing said before shi yan.

His tone was a little helpless.

“third brother, go do your work. i will take good care of sister qingqing.” shi yan also said.

shi yan could roughly guess what they were feeling at this time. staying here would only make them think more and make their hearts more uncomfortable. it was better to leave first.

she did not intend to hide jiang che’s proposal from her family. it was just that she had not found the right opportunity to speak about it. it would seem deliberate if she called to inform them. she was not the type to go around and make a fuss about everything. she wanted to let things take its course and talk about it when they met.

Today was the first time she had met them after Jiang Che’s proposal.

“big brother, did you bring any friends to haicheng this time?” Shi Yan asked Shi poran, who was getting up.

meeting shi poran’s gaze, she smiled,”if you’ve brought one, then ask him to come over and play with us. i’m surrounded by people who are easy to get along with.”

Shi Yan’s smiling eyes gave people a sense that she knew everything. In fact, she was indeed very smart, and very few things could escape her eyes.

shi poran didn’t try to be bashful and directly said, ” i’m not sure how long i’ll be staying in haicheng. i still have classes on monday and only have two days off on the weekend. i didn’t bring her along. ”

She was naturally referring to Song Yu.

shi yan’s high school classmate.

the last time shi poran went to crescent bay, shi yan had seen her bring song yu along. from that, shi yan could tell that song yu was different in shi poran’s eyes.

Bring who?

Shi boyu glanced at Shi Boran. Clearly, he didn’t know much about Shi Boran, but he didn’t seem to intend to ask more.

He only took a glance before retracting his gaze.

“I see. Next time then. Big brother, if you have such an opportunity next time, remember to bring her along.”

Shi Boran looked at her and replied with an ” mm ” before leaving with Shi boyu.

shi yan asked gu qingqing to sit down and introduced her to jiang rui and song meilian. the three of them greeted each other.

“yan, who were you guys talking about? your sister-in-law?” after shi boran and shi boyu left, jiang rui felt a lot more at ease. she asked as she ate her pastries without much care for her image.

“i don’t know much about it either.” Shi Yan smiled and raised her eyebrows. but according to what I saw, she should be my future sister-in-law if I’m not mistaken.

it seems like you really approve of you as your future sister-in-law. Since you’ve approved of her, she shouldn’t be a bad person. If there’s a chance, bring her to Haicheng to play and let everyone get to know each other.

“Alright,” he said.

Shi Yan responded and smiled at Gu Qingqing. ” sister qingqing, you’re taking your medicine. it’s not suitable for you to drink tea. i’ll go and heat up a cup of milk for you. ”

“no need to trouble yourself, i’m not thirsty.”

Gu Qingqing looked delicate, but her smile was very generous.”There are no outsiders here, so don’t be so formal with me. Actually, I came to find you because I have something to tell you.”

she was also smiling very gently.

it was probably because she was a few years older than shi yan and the others, so she automatically placed them in the ranks of younger sisters who needed her attention.

Jiang Rui and song Meilian looked at each other and were about to leave to give them some space, but Gu Qingqing, who had seen through their intentions, interrupted them.

“it’s not something you can’t let others know. you don’t have to leave.”

however, even though she had said so, jiang rui and song meilian were still not sure if they should stay. they looked at shi yan and waited for her to speak.

“since sister qingqing has already said so, then don’t torment yourself. if we’re just sitting here and talking, we should go to the front hall to take a look. this is sister hailan’s engagement party, and it’s not right for us to hide and not show our faces.”

“Sister Qingqing, what do you want to talk to me about?” Shi Yan asked Gu Qingqing with a smile.

I spent the new year in the capital. I’ve been in the capital all this time. I only returned to Haicheng with your third brother yesterday. Gu Qing Qing’s voice was gentle and soft, giving off a sense of leisure, not making people feel that she was in a hurry.

It was comfortable to hear her speak.

knowing that she didn’t want to talk to her about how she had been this year, shi yan didn’t respond to her and quietly waited for her to continue.

“after the new year, i went to see my nephew. of course, yanyan, you helped arrange this, so you naturally know about it. Speaking of this, I still owe you a thank you.”

“It’s not a big deal. Sister Qingqing, you don’t have to be so polite,”

“That’s true, but I still have to thank you. yanyan, thank you for letting me see him. My nephew Zhenzhen’s parents may have left him early, and he suffered some hardships in his early years. He looks a little crooked and doesn’t have much sense of right and wrong, but he’s not bad in nature.”

I’m not trying to absolve him of his guilt. I’m just expressing my opinion on him as an elder. Just listen to me and don’t take it to heart.

Shi Yan smiled and said she wouldn’t.

Not to mention that Gu Qingqing was now one of her own, even if she was facing an outsider, she would not mind such a small matter.

“We’re going off topic, so let’s get back to the main topic. I didn’t plan to stay in the capital for so long, but Yingluo, your third brother had something to do in the capital and my nephew was there, so I simply stayed.”

“i personally went to pick up my nephew a few days ago and handed him over to gu zi.”

“yes, i know that.” Shi Yan said.

She said she would keep him as a “guest” for a month, and she meant it. She wouldn’t keep him for even a day longer.

Since they had made a deal, the half-dead Gu Yu had to be returned to the Gu family. gu yi was the head of the gu family. since he was trapped in the capital, the gu family had naturally sent people to keep watch. During the handover, Gu Qingqing accompanied the Gu family.

“he made such a big mistake. if this matter fell on someone else’s head, i’m afraid that they would not be able to survive under the hands of the fifth lord. i’m very grateful that you’ve spared his life.”

” this is a deal between fifth lord jiang and the gu family. the gu family paid a price to save the life of the head of the gu family. it has nothing to do with sister qingqing. ”

shi yan said it directly because she didn’t want gu qingqing to insist on counting this favor on her.

gu qingqing naturally understood what she meant, and smiled gently. I know. I don’t have anything to do with the Gu family anymore. I’m just thanking you verbally. In fact, I’ve forgotten about it after the incident.

“my nephew contacted me once after he returned to the gu family. he was a lot more obedient and closed his door to recuperate after he returned. This time’s incident can be considered as a lesson for him, but I’m worried that with his personality, it’ll be difficult for him to be so well-behaved and he’ll still be angry.”

“yanyan, you and fifth lord jiang should keep an eye on him. don’t let this incident happen again. this time, he still had some rationality and didn’t really do anything rash, but it was hard to say next time. I’m not worried about you and fifth Lord Jiang. I’m just worried that my nephew’s brain will go haywire and directly attack the people around you.”

This was Gu Qingqing’s purpose for looking for Shi Yan today.

“thank you for your reminder, sister qingqing. i’ll keep an eye out.”

shi yan’s gentle and smiling eyes hid an imperceptible ruthlessness.

it was a flash, and no one saw it.

if there was a next time, she wouldn’t be so easy to talk to. At that time, she would no longer care about the Gu family.

however, there were some things that couldn’t be prevented by defense, and not everyone around her had the ability to protect themselves. Perhaps, she could do something while the Gu family’s vitality was greatly damaged so that Gu Yi would not have any extra thoughts to do anything else.

The head of such a large family urged Gu Yu to do something like this without considering the family’s interests if he was not a little crazy.

This time, Gu Yu had caused the Gu family to suffer heavy losses. There would definitely be people in the Gu family to denounce him. Gu Yu would probably have a headache for a while. In that case, there was no rush to find some trouble for him.
