She Is From The Countryside

Fate

Even Jiang Rui was suspicious, let alone Han Shuang Shuang and Su Mi, who had just met Shi Yan.

They stood at the side and watched Shi Yan calmly hand over her bank card, settle the bill, then calmly put the card back into her bag. She had spent more than 80,000 yuan in one go, but she did not even blink.

She was not like them, who were not worried about money. She was an orphan from the countryside, and her family had no source of income!

Jiang Rui saw their reactions. Of course, Shi Yan also saw them.

However, Shi Yan did not seem to see them. She did not give them an extra look. Jiang Rui only looked at them and did not explain much. She did not ask Shi Yan about this matter to help them understand.

So what if they did not understand? So what if they were curious? After all, she did not spend someone else’s money.

“Then, Little Yan, let’s go take a walk around the side. I see that you usually prefer a casual style. There’s a shop nearby that you should like.”

Shi Yan naturally didn’t refuse. Since she had decided to buy clothes, she might as well buy them all at once. It just so happened that she had already bought the autumn clothes, in case the weather turned cold and she had to come back again.

Seeing Shi Yan nod with a smile, Jiang Rui was very happy. She nodded at Han Shuang and Han Shuang. “Sister Shuang Shuang, you two take your time. We’ll be leaving first.”

Unexpectedly, Han Shuang Shuang said, “Since we’ve met, why don’t we go together? We can use some help.”

Her smile was gentle, and her eyes were full of kindness.

However, Jiang Rui was still a little unhappy.

Usually, under such circumstances, others would say, “We’ll be leaving first.”

It was not like they had a good relationship. Those who were more tactful would not follow them. Normally, Han Shuangshuang was not such an untactful person.

However, since Han Shuangshuang had already said so, Jiang Rui could not refuse.

Han Shuangshuang’s reason was also very reasonable.

She needed someone to help her with her shopping.

“Sure.”

Jiang Rui did not look unhappy at all.

People from big families like them would not reveal their true feelings in front of outsiders.

Then, they went to a few more shops. Only Shi Yan was buying. However, Shi Yan did not try it again. She took a size that was suitable for her and asked the shopping guide to put it on.

She bought a lot of casual sportswear and autumn coats. She also bought a few sets of pajamas and undergarments. Naturally, she also bought a lot of shoes. Some of them were picked out by Shi Yan herself, and some of them were based on Jiang Rui’s suggestion. Additionally, she also bought three small shoulder bags under Jiang Rui’s suggestion. One of them looked like it matched the qipao that Shi Yan had just bought.

After buying everything, she spent nearly 200,000 yuan.

Shi Yan paid for it herself, and even after spending so much money, her expression did not change at all.

Seeing this, the others started to grow numb from their initial shock and curiosity.

Spending nearly 300,000 yuan just to go shopping… This was definitely not something that an ordinary orphan girl from a farm could afford!

Han Shuang Shuang had accompanied them for so long. Regardless of whether they needed company or not, they should be able to afford it. Therefore, Jiang Rui suggested that they find a coffee shop to sit down and treat them to coffee.

As soon as they sat down, Su Mi could not help but ask, “Miss Shi, I heard that your family background is not very good. I also heard that you live alone and don’t have much money. So, about your expenses today…”

She seemed to be asking politely, but in reality, she was very direct.

She had a look of contempt on her face.

Jiang Rui, who was sitting across from her, frowned in displeasure.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Shi Yan say, “The elders in the family have some savings.”

Su Mi raised her head and met Shi Yan’s eyes, which had a faint smile in them. There was no anger in her eyes, no displeasure, and even… No emotion.

Yes, there was no emotion. Even if she was smiling, what she revealed was not joy.

How could that be?

How could a person be expressionless and emotionless? She was not an old man who had seen the hustle and bustle of the world and returned to seclusion.

This Shi Yan was hard to see through!

Su Mi had this feeling, as did Han Shuangshuang.

It would be too much to ask how Shi Yan’s family had the savings. Su Mi could only smile and say, “I see.”

“Miss Shi, please don’t take offense. Mi’er has always been like this. She can’t hide anything, and she’s always straightforward with her questions. She doesn’t have any other intentions.”

Shi Yan smiled and glanced at Han Shuang Shuang, “I understand.”

“It’s been hard on you two to accompany me shopping today. Order whatever you like. It’s my treat,” Shi Yan said with a smile.

Jiang Rui turned to look at her, but she met Shi Yan’s smiling eyes and took back the earlier agreement that she would treat them all.

Fine. After today’s shopping trip, even though she could not tell how much money Xiao Yan had, she knew that she had the money to treat her.

“Miss Shi, you’re too kind. We originally wanted to shop by ourselves, but we didn’t see anything good, so we left empty-handed. Miss Shi, you’ve wasted your time . Next time, we’ll treat you to a meal,” Han Shuang Shuang said.

It was flawless.

No one would take such polite words seriously.

“Okay,” Shi Yan replied with a faint smile.

After another half a minute of silence, Han Shuangshuang elegantly picked up the coffee and took a sip. She asked Shi Yan, “How long will Miss Shi stay in Sea City?”

The outside world only said that a guest had come to the Jiang family. It was an orphan from the countryside, a young girl about the same age as Jiang Rui. She was also Old Madame Jiang’s savior in her early years, and now she was living in the Jiang family’s mansion. Old Madame Jiang seemed to be trying to set her up with the young master of the Jiang family. Other than that, there were no other rumors about her.

There were only a few people who knew Shi Yan’s name. They had only heard that there was such a person.

Of course, the Jiang family was a big, aristocratic family in Sea City. The rumors about their family were only spread in certain circles, and not everyone in Sea City knew about it.

Seeing Shi Yan look up at her, Han Shuang Shuang smiled and said, “Didn’t I say that I was going to treat Miss Shi to a meal? I want to know how long Miss Shi will stay in sea city so that I can make arrangements.”

“There’s no rush. It’s not too late to make another appointment. In a few days, I’ll go to Sea City University to register. I should be staying in Sea City for the next four years.”

Shi Yan gently stirred her coffee and looked at Han Shuang Shuang.

After Shi Yan said this, the smile on Han Shuang Shuang’s face seemed to be a little stiff. Although she recovered very quickly, it still did not escape Shi Yan’s eyes.

It seemed that this Miss Han did not really want her to stay in sea city.

This was the first time they met, and she had a lot of hostility toward her.

“So Miss Shi is a freshman at Sea City University? I’m a sophomore at Sea City University, so I can be considered your senior. Since we’ll be going to the same school in the future, there’s really no need to rush things. We have plenty of time to make plans.”

Shi Yan smiled, “Yes, we have plenty of time to make plans.”

Han Shuang Shuang asked again, “May I know what Miss Shi’s major is?”

“History.”

“You’re also a history major?” Su Mi asked.

It was not hard to tell that she was also a history major.

Shi Yan only smiled and nodded. There was no surprise in her eyes. It was not that she knew about it, but she did not care about Su Mi’s major.

“So, in that case, we’ll still be classmates from the same school and have the same major in the future.”

Su Mi’s tone was slightly exaggerated, and it looked like she was pleasantly surprised.

“If Miss Su is also a freshman at Sea City University, I think so.”

“Then we really are fated.”

Shi Yan smiled faintly and didn’t say anything.

“Then, will Miss Shi still stay in the Jiang family after school starts?”

Before asking this question, Su Mi glanced at Han Shuang Shuang.
