573 the purpose of eting her
shi yan walked straight over and sat opposite the man.
seeing that she sat down calmly and didn’t show any surprise after seeing her, the man raised his eyebrows and said, ” “you don’t seem surprised to see .”
shi yan didn’t answer her and just looked up at her indifferently.
it was a familiar face, mu xingxing.
mu xing’s good friend was xie xingran herself. to be honest, shi yan was not surprised at all.
it was partly because of her indifferent nature, but also because of other reasons.
she didn’t have any evidence to prove that there was sothing wrong with mu xing, but her intuition had always been accurate. from the beginning, she had felt that there was sothing strange about mu xing. since mu xing was xie xingran, all the strange things could be explained.
It was hard for Xie xingran to get close to her by using a fake identity from Jupiter.
eting her gaze, Xie xingran smiled and said, ” “Let formally introduce myself. I’m Xie xingran.”
...
Without waiting for Shi Yan’s reply, he continued,”I was being superfluous. Since you ca to et , I’m sure you’re already clear about my identity,”
He wasn’t sure before, but now he was.
As one of the parties involved in the incident that led her to the capital, Shi Yan wanted to tell everyone that Jiang che was already taken. How could she not get to know this young miss Xie?
Xie xingran, born from a branch of the Xie family, was adopted by the second branch of the Xie family, who was Xie Heng’s second uncle. To the public, her identity was the eldest young lady of the Xie family. She had been studying abroad all these years, and the number of people who had seen her in the capital could be counted on one’s fingers.
It was no wonder that she had never heard of the Xie family having a young lady.
“may i know why eldest miss xie asked to co?”
she was too calm. any girl her age would not react like her in the face of the rumors of an upcoming marriage with her boyfriend.
The more she acted like this, the more he couldn’t understand her. the more he couldn’t figure it out, the more uneasy he felt.
regardless of whether he was guilty or not, he would still feel uneasy.
this was the invisible pressure that shi yan gave off.
“i thought we were still friends,” xie xingran sighed and said with a smile.
...
Shi Yan looked at her indifferently.
alright, ” Xie xingran sighed and smiled. the person you’re friends with is mu Xingxing, not Xie xingran.
“you’re wrong.” shi yan said, ” i’m not considered a friend of mu xingxing. ”
how could she be sincere to soone who approached her with a purpose?
“It’s so tragic.” Xie xingran smiled.
She didn’t seem to mind at all, or perhaps she had already expected this to happen.
“i’m quite regretful that i can’t be friends with you. you might not believe it, but i really want to be friends with you.”
Shi Yan didn’t answer her.
However, he did not interrupt.
of course, I didn’t think that way at first. Before I t you, I was actually scheming, but after seeing you, I was scared.
Xie xingran looked at her and smiled. Shi Yan, you may not know this. There’s a kind of magic in you. I can’t tell what it is. It just makes people feel comfortable and at ease when they get along with you. I don’t have any true friends, so I’m really envious of how you get along with your friends.”
...
“Look at , I’m being pretentious. It’s clear that he was trying to sche against you, and now he’s saying such things. Not to ntion you, even I feel that I’m being pretentious.”
“to be honest, i was tempted when the old master of the jiang family found . there’s no way i wouldn’t be moved by a person like the fifth lord jiang, hehe.”
“but i’m a person who knows my own limits. i know that i can’t match up to the fifth master jiang, let alone the pearl in the palm of the shi family.”
what she ant was that she had already known shi yan’s true identity before she had gone to sea city to see her with a fake identity.
” so, when elder jiang ca to find , i hesitated for a day and a night before i was ready to reject him. however, my second brother sohow found out that elder jiang was looking for . ”
Xie xingran seed to smile bitterly.
Shi Yan saw this but said nothing.
She wasn’t a saint-like person, and she didn’t have the ti to ddle in other people’s business. moreover, regardless of whether she had her own reasons, xie xingran had really offended her this ti.
It was even more impossible for her to feel sympathy for soone who had offended her.
They were all adults, and they had to be responsible for what they did.
Xie xingran continued, ” I’m just adopted. I look good on the surface, but I’m just living under soone else’s roof. Second brother asked to agree to elder Jiang’s request to cooperate with him, so how could I refuse? I still have to rely on my second brother, the son of my adoptive parents, to make a living.”
...
” then i thought that if i cooperated, so be it. maybe i really did manage to get on fifth lord jiang’s good side. with fifth lord jiang as my backing, i wouldn’t have to rely on others for a living anymore. ”
When she t Shi Yan’s gaze, Xie xingran laughed. ” it’s a pity that my dream was a good one. but when i saw you and the fifth lord of the jiang family in sea city, i knew that i had no chance at all. ”
” let’s not talk about whether i can compare with you or not. just the fact that fifth lord jiang only has eyes for you, i don’t stand a chance at all. ”
“i’ve tried to hit on your boyfriend, and i’ve let you down. However, Shi Yan, I won’t say sorry to you.”
“i don’t think i’ve done anything wrong. even if i don’t target a figure like fifth lord jiang, there will be others. I haven’t had much contact with you, but I know that you’re not a person who would do sothing useless. Since you chose to co to the capital at this ti, you can’t possibly do nothing.”
“i don’t know what you’re trying to do, but i’m guessing you’re just trying to let people know that fifth lord jiang is taken and that they shouldn’t think about him anymore. in this regard, i feel that i have helped. after all, i was the one who led you to the capital.”
after hearing her words, shi yan didn’t feel any sympathy for her. she just said, so, what’s miss Xie’s intention in inviting out and saying this? ”
“What’s the intention?”
Xie xingran smiled. you can understand it as I don’t want to offend you and the fifth Lord Jiang in this already difficult survival environnt. I don’t want to make my already bad situation worse.
She looked at Shi Yan and seed to be more serious. you can also understand it as wanting you to know that I an you no harm and want to leave you a good impression.
Without waiting for Shi Yan’s reaction, she suddenly changed the topic.”Alright, it’s actually none of those. It was my big brother who found out about this. I hid for a few days but he still found . Compared to being punished by big brother, I’d rather co to you and seek your forgiveness, so I took the initiative to co and see you.”
...
“look, my big brother is watching over there.”
following her line of sight, shi yan did see xie heng sitting in the corner.
She only took one look at Shi Yan before looking away.
He looked at Xie xingran.
She didn’t show any emotions on her face, so Xie xingran couldn’t tell if she believed her or not.
but it didn’t seem important anymore.
“i’m not afraid of you laughing at , but if it wasn’t for my big brother, i wouldn’t even dare to co and see you. Taking the initiative to ask for your forgiveness is not sothing my second brother would allow.”
