the few of them entered the private room. there were five people sitting inside, and only one girl.

Without a doubt, their gazes fell on Shi Yan. This was because everyone in the pavilion was familiar, and Shi Yan was the only unfamiliar face.

Jiang Rui took Shi Yan’s hand. Let Me Introduce Her to you. This is Shi Yan, my grandmother’s Savior. She’s now an honored guest of the Jiang family in Haicheng and a good friend of mine.

“Yan, that’s Jing Xuan, the young master of family Jing.”

Sitting in a corner, he was dressed in a black shirt and was undoubtedly very good-looking. After hearing Jiang Rui’s introduction, he nodded slightly at Shi Yan. It was not warm, but it was not rude.

Shi Yan naturally smiled and nodded in response.

the one beside him is Jing Hailan, the third daughter of the Jing family.

She was a woman in a red dress with big wavy hair, looking very mature. After Jiang Rui’s introduction, she enthusiastically raised her glass of red wine to Shi Yan. Hello, since you’re Rui ‘er’s friend, we’re on the same side from now on. You look about the same age as Rui’ er, but I’m a little older than you. You can call me sister hai LAN. If you have any trouble, just come to me. I’m good at solving problems.

“Sister Hailan, Yan is a quiet girl. Don’t scare her.” jiang rui said with a smile.

Jing Hailan did not get angry. Instead, he looked at Shi Yan and agreed, ” ” i can tell that you’re a quiet little beauty. i like beautiful women the most. i’ll protect you in haicheng from now on. if you need anything, just tell me my name. ”

With this attitude, people who didn’t know would think that she was a gangster.

She was doing well in Sea city Base, though.

shi yan had never refused others ‘face, especially when they were being friendly. she smiled and said,”then i’ll have to trouble sister hailan to take care of me in the future.”

jing hailan didn’t say anything more. he raised his eyebrows and raised his glass to shi yan.

Jiang Rui then introduced the other three people to Shi Yan.

“yan, that’s li xiran, the young master of the li family, meng chengxu, and wang yinghao, the young master of the wang family.”

After greeting each other, the few of them sat down.

since jiang rui had specially introduced them to shi yan, they were definitely not random people. these people were all on good terms with jiang cheng and were almost all heirs of their families. jiang cheng often brought jiang rui with him, and over time, jiang rui became familiar with them.

jiang rui and jiang cheng had specially brought shi yan over to introduce her to them. even if some of them would occasionally be out of tune, they would not mess around in front of shi yan.

They were all very polite.

However, when they saw Shi Yan, they were not as calm as they looked.

What happened to the village girl?

This dignified and magnanimous appearance of not having stage fright was not at all like this.

He was also an extremely quiet person. Since he came in, other than simply greeting everyone, he had been sitting quietly. However, she didn’t give off the feeling that she was a loner when she sat there quietly.

Because when people looked at her, nine out of ten times, she would respond with a smile.

After Jiang Cheng sat down, he held a glass of red wine and chatted with Jing Xuan about business. Han di sat next to them and occasionally interrupted, but his eyes would always unconsciously glance in Shi Yan’s direction.

the pavilion was very elegant, and light music was playing. everyone sitting in the pavilion was smart and knew each other well. Han Di’s actions were so obvious that anyone could see what he was thinking.

however, no one pointed it out.

shi yan was introduced to everyone by jiang rui, and han di was obviously interested in shi yan. the boys naturally did not want to talk to her, so jing hailan was the only one left.

The three girls sat together, with Jiang Rui in the middle.

Jing Hailan’s gaze shifted between Shi Yan and han di. He put down his crossed legs with great interest and leaned forward slightly. He gently swirled the wine glass in one hand as he looked at Shi Yan and asked with a smile, ” “Yan, do you want to drink?”

after sitting down, jiang rui was so focused on tinkering with the local snacks for shi yan to try that she had forgotten to ask if she drank.

This was a winery, and the main selling point was the hidden wine. It would be a waste if one did not drink at the winery.

when she heard jing hailan’s question about shi yan, jiang rui suddenly remembered to ask, ” “Oh yeah, Yan, do you drink?”

“I will.”

Shi Yan answered Jiang Rui first, then smiled at Jing Hailan.”i do, but i don’t drink often.”

Not only did she not drink often, she had only drunk alcohol twice in her life.

One time, when her grandmother had passed away, she had found a bottle of red wine from someone’s collection in the cellar of the small farmyard she lived in. She had only taken a sip before the glass was snatched away by someone who said that she was underage and could not drink. the first time was during her 18th birthday ceremony. another bottle of red wine was found in the cellar. however, it was not her, but the owner of the red wine.

The two of them finished the entire bottle of red wine.

“Then shall we have a drink?”

Jing Hailan’s flamboyant smile matched her red gown.

“Sure.” Shi Yan smiled elegantly.

Jing Hailan poured two glasses and handed one to her and the other to Jiang Rui.

Shi Yan and Jiang Rui thanked him and took it.

“sister yan, although we just met, i’ve always made friends based on affinity. you’re a perfect match for me, so i’ll make you my friend.”

Shi Yan gently clinked her glass and said with a faint smile,”Thank you, sister hai LAN. I’ll be counting on you to take care of me in Haicheng from now on.”

it was clearly a very common formality. jing hailan had heard such formalities countless times, but she felt that shi yan’s words were very different from what others said. She couldn’t tell what exactly was different, but she felt that it was more comfortable to hear it from Shi Yan.

“You’re too polite.”

Jiang Rui also clinked her glass with Shi Yan. Looking at the glass of red wine in Shi Yan’s hand, she was a little worried.”Yan, you really know how to drink? If you don’t know, there’s no need to force it. There are no outsiders here.”

“I will, I just don’t drink it often.”

Seeing Jiang Rui’s worried face, as if she was an elder who was worried about the children at home, Shi Yan could not help but smile.”Don’t worry, I won’t drink too much, so I won’t get drunk.”

“alright, then don’t drink if you can’t drink anymore. don’t force yourself.”

shi yan smiled and nodded. jiang rui then clinked glasses with shi yan.

when the others saw this scene, they were more or less surprised.

They knew very well what kind of person Jiang Rui was. Although she was cheerful and lively, there were not many people she could really treat as friends. Even people like them wouldn’t have gotten so close to her if they weren’t on good terms with Jiang Cheng and had more opportunities to meet her.

It was the first time they had seen Jiang Rui care so much about a girl of the same age.

This was not something that Shi Yan could do just because she had saved Jiang Rui’s grandmother. It was enough to treat his Savior with hospitality, unlike how he treated his friends.

to be treated as a friend by jiang rui sincerely, it seemed that shi yan was not only attractive on the outside, but also on the inside.

He looked over and saw that she was sitting upright with her left hand gently placed on her lap and her right hand holding a glass of red wine.

drinking in such an environment, it gave people the feeling that she was in a quiet and elegant teahouse, carefully sipping tea.

That elegance was something that people couldn’t help but admire.

her dress couldn’t be any simpler, but it couldn’t hide her temperament. who would believe that she was an orphan from the countryside?
