She is From The Countryside

Was As Beautiful As A Painting

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

During that time, Shi Yan stayed in the Jiang family’s old mansion in Sea City. She either read books in the small courtyard where she lived eor went out for a walk. However, she didn’t go far. Occasionally, she would take a book to the small pavilion beside the lotus pond and read.

She didn’t go to the main building to eat again. It was Xiao Zhao who sent her to the small courtyard. Therefore, she didn’t see the young master of the Jiang family these last two days. She didn’t even see Jiang Hai very often. The person she saw the most was Xiao Zhao, who was in charge of taking care of her food and living.

It was evening, and a sunset filled the sky.

!!

Shi Yan sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the study, reading a book. She leaned against the tatami mat in front of the window, and because she was at home, her hair was not tied up. It was just hanging loosely.

Her soft, ink-black hair was tied up, and the ponytail reached her waist. It hung loosely, and when she sat on the floor again, it scattered all over the floor.

The door to the study was not closed, so as soon as Little Zhao arrived, she saw the scene in the study.

The girl was dressed in a simple white t-shirt with black pants. She leaned back against the sofa and sat on the carpet, her knees bent. As her black hair scattered, she held a book with both hands and focused all her attention on it. The sunset glow fell on her through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, the scene gentle and containing a soul-stirring beauty.

Little Zhao was completely rooted to the spot. She was deeply attracted by this scene and could not regain her senses for a long time. It was only when Shi Yan raised her eyes and looked over that she saw her.

“Sister Zhao, is there something you need from me?”

Xiao Zhao finally regained her senses.

Although Old Madame Jiang was suppressing them, very few people in the Jiang family’s old residence dared to privately discuss the guests that Old Madame Jiang personally invited over. Still, there were always people who could not help but gossip. They might not have any bad intentions; they just couldn’t help but secretly discuss it.

She had overheard it by accident.

They said that Miss Shi came from the countryside and was an orphan. She would not be used to coming to such a big family. In front of others, Miss Shi would be cautious and at a loss. If other guests came to visit and Miss Shi happened to be present, she might even embarrass Old Madame Jiang and the Jiang family.

To put it bluntly, some of them were saying that Miss Shi was not presentable.

How was this person in front of them, who could casually sit there like a beautiful painting, not presentable? How many people could compare with her looks and temperament?

Those who were discussing it in private had never seen Miss Shi with their own eyes. As soon as they saw her, they would definitely not have such thoughts.

Speaking of this, some people were even secretly guessing at Old Madame Jiang’s intention of bringing Miss Shi to the old house.

Miss Shi was Old Madame Jiang’s savior and was very much liked by her. Old Madame Jiang was not someone with a good family background, and Miss Shi was an orphan and a young girl. Old Madame Jiang had been urging the young master, who had been single for the past two years, to find a partner.

Forget about the others, even Little Zhao could not help but have this thought. However, unlike the others, who thought that Shi Yan was not worthy of the young master of the Jiang family, Little Zhao did not think so.
