She is From The Countryside

Miss Shi Who Cooks

“Miss Shi, why do you keep staring at this box? Is there a problem?”

It had been a day and two nights since Shi Yan had finished eating the pastries in the box. When she woke up this morning and had breakfast, Xiao Zhao saw Shi Yan sitting in the living room staring at the pastry box on the coffee table in front of her. He couldn’t help but ask in confusion.

Shi Yan heard this and her eyes moved away from the pastry box. She smiled and shook her head.

Then, she continued to stare at the pastry box.

Although Xiao Zhao had doubts in her heart, she did not ask further and changed the topic.

“Yesterday, Miss went out to meet a friend. I don’t think she will go today. Are you and miss still going out to play today?”

Jiang Rui had an appointment yesterday, but Shi Yan did not go out. She spent the whole day either reading in the study or sitting in the living room staring at the cleaned pastry box in a daze.

“I don’t think so.”

Jiang Rui had taken her to almost all the places in sea city that she could play at.

Of course, Jiang Rui hadn’t taken her to more normal places, such as bars and clubs, which were messy places. Jiang Rui felt that they didn’t match Shi Yan’s temperament, so she had never taken her there.

Naturally, Shi Yan didn’t like to go to those places, either.

“What are your plans for today?”

“I don’t have any plans for the time being. Sister Zhao, you don’t have to worry about me. If there’s anything, just go and get busy. If there’s anything I need, I’ll give you a call.”

Hearing her say this, Little Zhao smiled in embarrassment.

“Actually, I do have something to do today. My brother in the hospital, so I plan to go to the hospital to see him. “It’s just that my father has to go to work, and my mother has also stayed in the hospital for a few days. She needs to go back and rest. I’m afraid that I’ll only be able to come back at night.”

“Sister Zhao, just go. I’m already a grown-up. I can take care of myself.”

In fact, she had only needed help in the Jiang family at the beginning. When she was not very familiar with the Jiang family, it was more convenient to have someone by her side. Now that she had stayed in the Jiang family for some time, she had already familiarized herself with everything that needed to be familiar with. Moreover, Grandma Jiang and Jiang Rui were both there. She actually did not need someone to take care of her at all times.

She had mentioned this matter to Little Zhao and told her to focus on her own work. However, Little Zhao insisted that her job was to take care of her, so Shi Yan did not insist any further.

“Then I’ll go to the hospital first. Miss Shi, remember to call me if you need something. If there’s anything urgent, go to Madame Jiang’s Courtyard to look for her. Madame Jiang is at home.”

Shi Yan smiled and nodded.

After Little Zhao left, Shi Yan was the only person left in the courtyard.

She had thought that Jiang Rui would come to look for her, but not long after, she received a call from Jiang Rui. She said that her mother’s friend had organized a tea party and asked her to accompany her. She asked Shi Yan if she wanted to come along, but Shi Yan refused.

Jiang Rui would attend such small gatherings of the daughters of the upper-class ladies almost every few days, and it was often held by different people. The two ladies of the Jiang family and the eldest daughter, Jiang Rui, had also held a few gatherings on the third floor of the main building of the Jiang family’s old mansion.
