Chapter 377



377 chapter 377-having confidence is what you need

” with the orphanage’s resources, it’s not a problem to support my studies until i grow up. i’m confident that i can repay them when i grow up. ”

” i was living a good life there, and one day, someone suddenly claimed to be my grandfather and wanted to take me away. that person didn’t look like a good person. i’m not stupid enough to give up my carefree life. why would i suffer with him? ”

“it’s a pity that i was only five years old at that time. i was still a little kid. how could i fight against a madman like xie liu? so, i could only follow him.”

Shi Yan didn’t interrupt the whole time and listened to him quietly.

there wasn’t the slightest expression of surprise on his face, as if he was listening to something very normal.

Su chen felt helpless.

However, he knew that this was her personality. She was willing to listen to him and not use the sentence ” if you’re not curious about other people’s Affairs, don’t tell her ” to dismiss him. He couldn’t ask for too much.

she continued, ” i’m indeed xie liu’s biological grandson. xie liu thought that i was illiterate. he didn’t avoid me when someone handed him the document. i saw the paternity test. ”

but I saw the DNA test with Xie Liu’s son. I heard a lot of news while I was with Xie Liu.

including the fact that he knew about the existence of my mother and I, but he despised my mother’s poor background and poor health, so he never agreed to let my mother marry him. He even broke up the couple and locked my father, who I had never met, at home.

it was not until my mother passed away from illness that my father received the news and followed her every two years. He then thought of taking me out of the orphanage.

he didn’t bring me out of the orphanage because he wanted to build a relationship with me. He’s just too old and is afraid that he won’t be able to achieve his goals in his lifetime. He needs an heir to help him fulfill his last wish.

” i’ve never received any favors from him. you can even say that i have a grudge against him. i’m not stupid. i won’t stay to help him. ”

” i said i got lost, but i actually slipped away on my own. i saved some pocket money when i was with him, and while i was young and my obedient behavior made him let his guard down, i slipped near the train station and hid in someone else’s luggage. ”

In the early years, Qingcheng was even more chaotic. Places like train stations were even more chaotic. The security checks were not strict, so a five or six-year-old child could easily get through.

” that person just happened to be in the capital, so i followed his luggage to the capital. ”

“Speaking of which, after I went to the capital, I went to find the orphanage myself. After I woke up, I pretended to have lost my memory and was left in the orphanage until I met my master and was adopted by her. ”

su chen grinned at shi yan.

shi yan,”yingluo.”

” as expected of brother su chen, ” she said with a smile. ” you’re only five or six years old, but you dare to do such a bold thing. ”

he was only five or six years old, yet he had escaped from the hands of the former master of the original force and traveled to the capital from qingcheng alone.

su chen raised his chin and said, ” that’s right. i’m a genius. ” otherwise, master wouldn’t have chosen me out of all the people in the orphanage, right? i heard that master took many years to choose his successor.”

“On the other hand, Yu Wen and Xuanji were brought back by Xie Liu two days after each other. Yu Wen was brought back as my playmate, so naturally, he had to be by my side. We actually lived together for a period of time when we were young, and our friendship was quite good.”

when I sneaked away, I thought that he might be punished if he stayed, so I was ready to take him with me. But the news that I was sneaking away couldn’t be exposed, so I just tried to find out what he wanted. Every time I found out, he didn’t want to go back to the bridge and live a life of hunger, cold, and homeless, so I gave up the idea of taking him with me.

he had been so vigilant at such a young age, even guarding against his close playmates. now that he thought about it, su chen felt a little proud.

“now that i think about it, even if yu wen didn’t guess that i was planning to escape, as he grew older and more experienced, he should have realized it long ago. however, he never thought of leaving xie liu.”

“since you chose to stay, you should have accepted xie liu’s last wish and wanted me to replace him. what’s going on? i don’t owe xie liu anything. Did he think that by attacking Xie Heng and almost injuring Xie Heng, he would be able to return Xie Liu’s favor and leave without any burden?”

“fine, he can leave if he wants to. xie liu is dead, and no one can control him. why do you have to drag me down with you? I like my current life very much. I don’t have any debts, so I’m light. I don’t want my leisurely life to be disrupted!”

regarding yu wen’s attack on xie heng and the fact that xie heng had almost been killed, jiang che had briefly mentioned it to shi yan, so shi yan knew about it.

since Brother Su chen said that you can’t remember your childhood, let’s just keep this up. I won’t tell anyone about our conversation today.

yu wen wasn’t a cause for concern, but the xie family wasn’t.

it was hard to guarantee that the xie family would not have the thought of completely eliminating the hidden danger. it was best to hide su chen’s background forever.

su chen naturally knew what shi yan was worried about. he smiled and said, ” “Don’t worry, I know what to do. you don’t have to worry too much. i just feel that it’s a little troublesome to be targeted by the xie family, but it’s not that i can’t deal with it. even if it’s the xie family, it’s not that easy to take my life.”

Shi Yan smiled at him. Brother Su chen, you’ve been wandering outside for so many years. This is your first time making a mistake, isn’t it? ” she asked.

She was referring to how he had fallen into Yu Wen’s hands and been detained.

the corner of su chen’s mouth twitched, and his expression was a little unnatural.

Rubbing his nose, he said,”tsk, even horses make mistakes.” &Nbsp;

I was too careless this time. I didn’t expect that after so many years, Yu Wen would still be able to find my whereabouts. Not only did he find my whereabouts, he even brought a group of people to my patient’s house. I was all alone, so I fell for it.

“However, if he brought me back to the city of Qing, he would only be able to restrict my freedom, not take my life. you know, i’ve been out adventuring all year round, so i always have one or two life-saving means. if yu wen really wanted to take my life, even if we were in his territory, i would be able to make a last minute counterattack and drag him down with me. he wouldn’t dare to take the risk.”

alright, I’m done with my business. Now, let’s talk about your business.

“Me?”

“what’s the matter?” shi yan chuckled.

su chen glared at her,’you call this fine? What’s going on between you and Jiang che? Didn’t I tell you to stay away from him?”

” it’s not far. when brother su chen reminded me, i already had thoughts about him. ”

“you’re honest! however, yingluo ”

Su chen gave her a thumbs up. let’s not talk about other things. Yanyan, you were able to win over the famous fifth Lord Jiang. That’s really amazing!

“Thank you,” Shi Yan smiled.

Su Chen’s mouth twitched when he saw her not being humble at all.

As expected, feelings of shyness and the like would not appear on her face.

look at her, so calm.

The two of them being together was a foregone conclusion. Even if su chen was a little jealous, he would only be jealous in front of Jiang che and not Shi Yan.

He had mentioned the two of them again to divert Shi Yan’s attention and to prepare for the next topic.

“Yanyan, your third brother is here. Are you going to keep avoiding him?”

After saying this, Shi Yan’s elegant smile seemed to pause.

Su chen sighed in his heart.

As expected, she still cared.

it was impossible for him not to care. after all, the shi brothers were different from the elders of the shi family. the elders of the shi family had once let yanyan down, but the shi brothers had never done so.

and shi boran and shi boyu were different from shi boxun and shi bochen.

shi poxun had run away from home with her. shi pochen was the younger brother, younger and only a cousin. shi poran and shi poyu were different. the two of them were seven or eight-year-old older brothers, biological older brothers.

yanyan always treated them differently.

after a moment, shi yan’s smile returned.”i didn’t avoid it. i didn’t find a chance to speak just now.”

the more she acted like nothing had happened, the more upset su chen felt.

She really didn’t seem to know that a younger sister had the right to throw a tantrum in front of her brother. She could totally get angry and complain. She could throw a tantrum if she was unhappy.

unfortunately, she didn’t have any.

“Brother Su chen, don’t think too much. I don’t intend to avoid anyone. Let’s go back to the room, don’t let my third brother wait too long.”

he only said not to let shi boyu wait for too long, but he didn’t say not to let jiang xi wait for too long.

She didn’t say it on purpose, but it was completely out of her subconscious. in other words, in her subconscious, jiang che was one of her own and shi boyu was the guest.

Even though she still called Shi boyu ” my third brother.

su chen felt more sympathy for shi boyu.

On the way back, su chen suddenly remembered something and asked, ” “that’s right, yanyan, what’s up with that tong yan yanxia? To be more precise, what’s with the mist?”

“for a big family like the shi family, every member of the family will train a few trusted aides from a young age. Tong Yan was the person I chose before I left the Shi family. I didn’t have time to bring her back to the Shi family to show her face, so I left the Shi family. Later, before I left the capital, I asked fourth grandmother to help me find a few trustworthy teachers to train. No matter what, I am the one who brought her back, so I have to take responsibility.”

” but i didn’t care much about what happened after that. i only paid a little money. their achievements today are due to their own capabilities. it has little to do with me. ”

it’s just that they’re grateful for my kindness and have always treated themselves as my people. I happen to need their help with something right now, so I contacted them.

“In other words, Tong Yan is not the only one who is like this?”

Shi Yan nodded.

su chen looked at her suspiciously. ” you really let them grow up freely? other than money, you’re not even a shadow on their path? ”

“yes,” shi yan said with a smile.

su chen rolled his eyes.

I don’t believe you!

he felt a little proud.

he believed that she had let tong yan and the others grow up freely. after all, with her indifferent personality, she did not care about these things. However, he did not believe that she had no part in the growth of these people.

this was his sister. under the shi family’s supervision and his care, she could still do so many things so quietly!

The city of Qing’s forces, how could they be established by just anyone?

but before today, he, the shi family, and even shi boyu, who was in qingcheng, had not noticed it at all!

When she was training Tong Yan and the others, she might not have thought that she would need them one day. However, she had done her best to train them. Just like when she and her master had collaborated on investments, they might not have thought that they would need the money one day. She had also invested properly. The capital that she used was not the money that she had earned from the skills that she had learned from the Shi family.

Her mentality of preparing for a rainy day had never changed.

in other words, this was also a sign of her insecurity.

It didn’t matter if she used it or not, she had the confidence. This was probably what she thought.

perhaps she didn’t even realize this herself.
