she is from the countryside

Meeting the Young Master of the Jiang Family

Shi Yan carried her suitcase upstairs.

The doors of the rooms were all open, so it was not difficult to tell which was her bedroom and which was the study.

The rooms were all arranged so that there was a sofa, a bed, a cloakroom, and a large balcony. The room was a simple color and light blue in style, which Shi Yan liked.

There was a suspended chair on the balcony, and a few potted plants were placed next to it.

Shi Yan opened the suitcase and began to hang her clothes in the cloakroom first.

When she opened the suitcase, half was clothes and half was books.

They were all old books, and it was obvious that she had looked through them often.

The clothes for this season didn’t take up much space, so even though most of her suitcases were filled with books, she actually had five sets of clothes, two sets of pajamas, and two pairs of shoes.

The style of the clothing was similar to what she was wearing now.

She opened the closet in the cloakroom and smelled a fragrant scent. One sniff and she knew that it was the fragrance bag that had been placed in the closet to remove any smell and prevent insects.

In the closet, other than the clothes rack that had been prepared, there were two sets of pajamas and two sets of relatively loose sportswear with no tags. It was probably because she did not know her figure that Old Madame Jiang had ordered people to only prepare these items.

The clothes were not gorgeous, all very low-key styles and not much different from her usual style of clothing.

Shi Yan smiled lightly.

Old Madame Jiang was a really meticulous person.

After hanging up the clothes, she closed the suitcase and dragged it to the study on the side.

Compared to the clothes she had brought, she treasured these books much more.

The study was very simple. In addition to a few bookshelves and desks, there was also a sofa. Beside the sofa was a small solid wood coffee table, and near the floor-to-ceiling window was a tatami. She usually did not want to sit at the desk and read, so she could sit there instead.

There was also a computer on the desk.

The study laid out a small carpet in the place of the tatami mat and the sofa according to the layout style.

There were green plants on the coffee table and a pot by the floor-to-ceiling window, making it look very warm.

There were three bookshelves, one of them full of books. They were all new books and had most likely been specially prepared for her. The other two bookshelves were empty, left for her to put her own books.

Shi Yan took out her books and placed them on the bookshelves, one by one.

By the time she was done, almost half an hour had passed.

It was not a lie when she told Xiao Zhao that she wanted to take a bath and rest.

To travel from her village to Haicheng, she took a three-hour bus to the city. Then she took a half-hour taxi from the city station to the airport and took a more than three-hour flight. After landing, she took a taxi for almost an hour to get to Jiang’s house.

She was indeed a little tired.

She went back to her room to put her suitcase away, took a set of pajamas that she had brought with her, then went to the bathroom to wash up.

The bathroom was fully equipped with many toiletries, in addition to a washing machine, which was exactly what Shi Yan wanted. Perhaps Old Madame Jiang had prepared the washing machine because she knew Shi Yan was not used to having others help her wash clothes in the countryside, which she always did herself.

She was very considerate.

After taking a shower and changing into her pajamas, then drying her hair, Shi Yan washed and dried the clothes she had changed into before she closed the curtains and lay on the bed.

There was a faint incense on the bed. It was not very strong, but Shi Yan could sense it.

She pulled up the quilt and took a look at her phone.

It was almost three o’clock in the afternoon.

According to the housekeeper, the young master of the Jiang family, Jiang Hai, had to return to the old house after work. It was her first day as a guest at the Jiang family, so she could not be rude. She had to get up and go to the main building around five o’clock.

No matter what, as a guest, she should greet the host.

This way, she could sleep for two hours.

Shi Yan set the alarm for five o’clock and slept very well.

Shi Yan had always had a good outlook. She had always been content with the situation. Living alone in the countryside, she rarely had insomnia, not to mention when she was lying on such a soft bed.

She got up, washed, then changed her clothes.

She was dressed in a white t-shirt, nine-cent black cloth pants, and white shoes once again.

The style of her clothes seemed almost the same, but they were not. If one did not look closely, you would not be able to tell that she had changed her clothes.

However, Shi Yan did not care about these things. She was fine as long as she was comfortable in them.

It was definitely inappropriate to go to the main building alone. After all, she was in someone else’s house.

Shi Yan saw Little Zhao’s note on the coffee table in the living room on the first floor. Her number was written on it, so she called Little Zhao and asked her to bring her to the main building.

Little Zhao came very quickly.

“Miss Shi.”

Shi Yan stood up from the sofa and nodded slightly with a faint smile, “Sister Zhao, please bring me to the main building. I don’t know the way.”

She definitely knew the way. Her memory had always been very good. When she came over just now, Jiang Hai had pointed out the location of the main building to her, so she could roughly remember the way.

“Miss Shi, you’re too kind. You can just call me Little Zhao.”

Shi Yan smiled. She didn’t respond well, but neither did she respond badly.

Little Zhao continued, “Miss Shi, are you hungry? If you’re hungry and feel that it’s too far to go to the main building, I can bring your dinner here.”

“There’s no need to trouble yourself. I’ll go over and eat. It’s my first day as a guest at the Jiang family, so I can just say hello to your eldest young master.”

Seeing Little Zhao look at her in surprise, Shi Yan smiled and said, “It was Uncle Hai who told me that the others aren’t at the old residence, and it’s not convenient for your fifth master to disturb them. Only your eldest young master will come back after work. I thought that since it’s my first day as a guest at the Jiang family, I should say hello to the master, so I will only look for your eldest young master.”

When Uncle Hai brought her here, she heard Little Zhao call him that, so she followed suit.

“Is that so?” Little Zhao smiled and said, “Actually, before Old Madame Jiang left, she told me to tell you that if you don’t want to see anyone else, you don’t have to. Eldest young master is no exception. Old Madame Jiang also said that if you treat this place as your own home, you can be as free as you are in your own home. The Jiang family is her home, and you are her invited guest. No one will dare to say anything against you.”

“Grandma Jiang is thoughtful,” Shi Yan smiled faintly. “It’s just that I’m a guest at the Jiang family for the first time, so it’s only right for me to greet the host. I also want to go out and familiarize myself with the environment.”

Since she had already said so, Little Zhao naturally could not say anything.

She only hesitated for a moment before saying, “Then when you meet our eldest young master, if he is… Not very enthusiastic, please don’t take it to heart. Our eldest young master’s personality is relatively cold and cheerless, and it’s not just against you.”

Shi Yan was an honored guest of Old Madame Jiang. Additionally, Xiao Zhao had a good first impression of her. Otherwise, Xiao Zhao would not easily say these things in front of her.

It was a big taboo to say even small words about the main family in front of guests, although this was not considered small words.

“I know this. Uncle Hai mentioned it to me.”

“Then I’m relieved.”

Xiao Zhao led Shi Yan to the main building and walked for more than ten minutes.

When they reached the main hall on the first floor of the main building, it was already 5:40 pm, and there were maids and chefs working in the kitchen. After inviting Shi Yan to sit down, Xiao Zhao made her a cup of tea.

“If the eldest young master doesn’t have any social engagements, he will be back on time after work. He will be home around six o’clock. He didn’t call ahead to inform the kitchen that there was no need to prepare dinner, so he should be back in time. Please have a cup of tea and wait. I’ll be going back first, so if there’s anything you need, please give me a call.”

“Okay. Thank you, Sister Zhao.”

She didn’t change her words, and Little Zhao didn’t correct her either.

She smiled at her and left the main hall.

Shi Yan took her third sip of tea. When the clock on the wall pointed to 5:55, the sound of a car coming in from the outside rang out.

Soon after, a servant greeted her and called out, “Eldest young master.”

Someone came in through the main door, and Shi Yan looked up at the sound.
