She Is From The Countryside

Chapter 148



148 why didn’t you bring her back?

Of course, Jiang Rui was no match for Jiang Cheng in terms of strength. Moreover, if Jiang Rui really closed the door, Shi Yan and Jiang che, who were behind her, would not be able to leave either. When she realized that Shi Yan and Jiang che were still here, Jiang Rui’s action of closing the door was not as forceful as before.

jiang cheng was very surprised to see jiang che.

He knew that Shi Yan was here, but he had not expected Jiang che to be here as well.

“Fifth uncle,” he greeted jiang che first.

“miss shi, thank you for taking care of rui ‘er.” she looked at shi yan.

“you’re welcome,”

Shi Yan glanced at Jiang Cheng, who looked Haggard and unkempt, and then at Jiang Rui, who was biting her lip and holding back her tears. She paused and said to Jiang Rui,”Rui ‘er, we’ll wait for you at the Jiang family first.”

jiang rui’s gaze was fixed on jiang cheng, who had suddenly appeared. she looked at shi yan in a daze.”okay. yan, you didn’t sleep well last night. go back and have a good rest.”

shi yan nodded, then nodded slightly to jiang cheng in greeting. only then did she leave while holding jiang che’s hand.

jiang cheng’s gaze fell on the two of them holding hands naturally.

however, he quickly moved away.

his mind was not on this matter.

After the two left in the elevator, Jiang Cheng pushed open the door and entered the house, closing the door on the way.

Looking at Jiang Rui, who was standing in front of him, biting her lips tightly and not saying a word, her eyes still a little red, Jiang Cheng directly pulled her into his arms. ” rui ‘er, i’m sorry. i only came back now. ”

Jiang Rui, who hadn’t shed a single tear since the incident, began to cry. It was a suppressed cry.

Jiang Rui, who had grown up in the palm of his hand, had always cried and laughed whenever she wanted to. She had never suppressed her tears like now. Jiang Cheng’s heart was very uncomfortable.

He quickly let go of her and helped her wipe her tears. “I’m sorry, Rui ‘er. I should have come back earlier. don’t cry, i don’t feel good seeing you cry.”

the more he comforted her, the more jiang rui’s tears fell.

he pulled her into his arms again. ” rui ‘er, don’t cry. i’m back. no matter what happens, i’ll be here. just leave everything to me. i’ll handle it. ”

“How can it be the same?” jiang rui gently pushed him away.

she wiped her tears and looked up at him. ” brother, I don’t even feel as confident when I call you brother now. It’s different, it’s different.

“Then don’t call me brother. Just call me by my name. You can call me anything you want!” Jiang Zhi held her hand.

He saw that she was looking at him with her lips pursed and eyes red without saying a word. She did not break down and cry, nor did she ask him if what he said was true. Her expression seemed to be a little calm.

jiang cheng suddenly panicked.

He bent down to hug her and rested his chin on her shoulder. ” rui ‘er, i’ve been working overtime for almost half a month. i don’t sleep more than four hours a day, and i didn’t even get a wink of sleep last night. i’m a little tired. ”

he had always been domineering and rarely spoke in such a soft tone.

jiang rui recalled his appearance at the door just now.

his shirt and suit were crumpled, and he had an unkempt beard.

He had always been well-rested and had never been so unkempt.

jiang rui’s heart softened and she felt a little heartache.

“if you have something to do, deal with it first. why do you have to force yourself like this? Brother, I’ve grown up. I’m no longer a child who needs to rely on you for everything. I can handle things well. Although I may not be able to do it very well and the speed of handling things will be very slow, I will handle it well.”

“i know you can handle it, but i’m worried.”

he let go of her and held her face gently. Rui ‘er, you’re the person I’ve been protecting since you were young. I don’t want you to be hurt or wronged. I won’t feel at ease until I see you personally.

“i’ve been able to hold you in my hands for so many years, so i can hold you in my hands forever.”

Jiang Cheng was a quiet, cold, and calm person. Even if he spoke a little more in front of Jiang Rui, he had never revealed his emotions like this.

seeing him like this, jiang rui couldn’t help but tear up again. she bit her lip and said, ” ” so, so, brother, you actually knew that i wasn’t your biological sister, right? ”

“yes, i knew it long ago. i knew it when you were ten years old.”

Ten years old?

Jiang Rui recalled the past.

when she was ten years old, she accidentally fell down the stairs. at that time, the other adults were not at home, and it was her brother who sent her to the hospital.

After she returned from the hospital, her brother took over all her Affairs and let her live in his courtyard for a long time.

she thought that he was afraid that she would fall down the stairs like before, so he took her in and took care of her meticulously.

from the looks of it now, he must have realized that she was not his biological sister at that time. in order to prevent others from finding out, he took over her affairs and did not allow others to handle it.

“since you already knew then, why did you still treat me so well, yingluo?”

“i want to be good to you, can’t i?”

his voice was a little loud, more like he was shouting.

Jiang Rui looked at him in a daze and didn’t speak for a long time.

she was probably a little frightened by him.

He was cold and indifferent, but he had never spoken loudly to her.

This was the first time.

After a long while, she said, ” of course I can. But brother, I’m not your biological sister. Since you knew the truth, why didn’t you bring your biological sister back? ”

” brother, i’m very happy that you’re good to me. i’ve been very happy all these years, and i’ll be very happy when i think about it in the future. however, you know the truth but you didn’t bring your biological sister back. it makes me feel like a thief, stealing something that should have belonged to someone else. ”

“no, i didn’t,”

” you didn’t steal anything from anyone. ” jiang yao held her hand. ” there’s no conflict between being nice to you and being nice to your sister. ”

“even if there’s another girl in the family, you can still pamper her. so to the other people in the family, there’s no conflict between being good to you and being good to another girl. To me, there’s no conflict.”

It was impossible for Jiang Rui not to be touched by his words.

She knew that he was telling the truth.

grandmother was a smart, wise, and kind person. none of the people she raised had a bad character. even if she wasn’t the jiang family’s biological daughter, and even if they had brought their biological daughter home back then, the family would definitely not mistreat her at all.

This could be seen from the fact that Yan had been treated the same way as the young lady of the Jiang family when she moved into the Jiang family’s old mansion.

other than her mother, who was prejudiced against yan after hearing the rumors, no one else had a problem with her grandmother’s treatment of yan. even her mother, who was prejudiced against yan, had never said anything about the treatment yan received in the old mansion.

Of course, the family’s attitude toward Yan had a lot to do with the fact that she was grandma’s Savior. However, even if Yan didn’t save her grandmother, and was just a little girl that her grandmother liked, no one would say anything about her being treated like this.

because the jiang family didn’t lack money. they didn’t lack the money to support one more person.

As Jiang Rui was thinking, she saw the person in front of her looking at her and saying very seriously, ” “also, i’m good to you, but it doesn’t mean that you’ll be happy when you think about it in the future. I’m good to you, not only in the past, but in the future, I will be good to you forever.”

his gaze was a little threatening, and jiang rui was stunned by it.

She was also touched by his words.

In fact, Jiang Rui could not tell if she was touched or what.

She felt that she was happy, but also not very happy.

Anyway, it felt a little strange.

jiang rui didn’t reply to him, but asked, ” “since there’s no conflict, why didn’t you bring her back? Did you not find him? or are you afraid that i’ll feel uncomfortable because there’s one more person to fight for your favor after you bring her back? i was already ten years old by then, and i was almost set in my character. do you think i would be such a petty person?”

or are you afraid that I’ll leave after knowing that I’m not a member of the Jiang family? ”

“if that’s the case, then brother, you think too highly of me. if i had turned eighteen, i could have chosen to leave, but i was only ten at that time. the ten-year-old me didn’t have the ability to live alone. as long as my family doesn’t chase me away, i won’t leave.”

“no, these are not the reasons.”

Jiang Cheng saw that she cared more about these things than the fact that she was not her biological daughter. Seeing that she did not seem to be as agitated as he had imagined, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

it seemed that shi yan had put in a lot of effort while he was away on his business trip. Otherwise, with Rui ‘er’s personality, it would be impossible for her to be so calm after suddenly finding out about such a thing.

He held her hand and led her to the living room.

he sat on the sofa.

“I watched you grow up. How can I not know what kind of person you are?” he said. it’s none of your business that you didn’t bring her back, and it’s not because you couldn’t find her. ”

“Then why?”

“Because I can’t.” jiang cheng’s expression wasn’t dejected, but he was disappointed.

“Why can’t you bring her back?”
