Chapter 1481: Chapter 852: She Went to Great Lengths to Seduce Him (Update 3)
Pingjiang is not like Beijing; when the weather gets hot and dry, and the temperature rises, it quickly ushers in the plum rain season with its humid and sticky climate, inevitably making everyone’s mood restless.
On the afternoon of the party, there was a sudden downpour, and the dense rain formed a curtain under the eaves of the Tang Family’s old residence.
If the rain continues into the evening, tonight’s gathering will surely be hard to execute.
Jiang Jinsang saw it quickly; tonight’s gathering was originally meant to accompany Tang Wan, but Jiang Chengsi kept sighing, trapped in the old residence due to consecutive rainy days.
The elderly didn’t mind, listening to the radio and playing mahjong at home while listening to commentary.
Those with children and wives naturally accompanied their families, but he was alone, relying only on Hua Mei for company.
He had been pecked by Hua Mei before and didn’t dare to get too close, only daring to probe casually outside the cage with a bird teasing stick.
Hua Mei initially flapped its wings to interact with him, but seeing that he only dared to stay on the perimeter, it gradually lost interest.
Qi Zeyan teased him:
"Jiang Chengsi, what’s up with you? Even the bird ignores you."
...
The rain came quickly and left just as fast, subsiding by evening.

Fuyou Bar
Due to the rain, the party originally scheduled for 6:30 was postponed to 7:00, but even so, many people had already arrived in the private room shortly after 6:00.
Qi Zeyan and Ruan Mengxi were the hosts and arrived earlier. After some pleasantries and formalities, everyone congratulated the newlyweds.
Although it was just a private gathering and didn’t require formal attire, knowing that Qi Zeyan and Jiang Jinsang would be present, those attending dressed themselves with care, if not in grand attire.
Qi Zeyan wore a casual suit, with a slightly slicked-back hairstyle. Perhaps it’s due to the happy occasion; he exuded an air of suave charm and the demeanor of a pampered young master.
Ruan Mengxi walked beside him, wearing a simple black long dress. Naturally enchanting, she carried the aura of an affluent family beauty.
People who hadn’t met Qi Zeyan before were somewhat nervous, but after chatting briefly, they found him approachable and not at all imposing. The atmosphere in the private room was very pleasant.
"Is Wanwan coming today?" A classmate checked the time; it was almost 7:00, and yet Tang Wan hadn’t arrived.
"She should be coming; her house is pretty far." Ruan Mengxi smiled.
"It’s been a while since we last saw Tang Wan. Time flies; she’s had a child, and I don’t even have a boyfriend yet." A group chatted in threes and fours.
"Just don’t get too glued to someone else’s husband."
"It’s not about getting glued; I’m just worried that after seeing someone else’s husband, finding a partner will be even harder. I’m hoping to attend Xixi’s wedding and soak up some good luck, aiming to bring someone home this year."
"I heard Yang Yiyi is coming tonight too?"
"Didn’t she find a wealthy boyfriend in Beijing? During the New Year reunion, it was like she had ’wealthy’ written on her face. Those truly married well are low-key; it’s the ones like her that don’t quite measure up."
...
While everyone was talking, Tang Wan and her party of three arrived, instantly drawing all eyes with Jiang Jinsang and Jiang Chengsi, two distinct types—one gentle, the other unruly—alongside her.
The three were quite modest. Tang Wan had many acquaintances, while Jiang Jinsang and Jiang Chengsi found a place to sit. Today, the focus was on Qi Zeyan and Ruan Mengxi; they weren’t going to steal the spotlight.
Greeting acquaintances as they came, they were all polite and courteous.
Exhibiting elegance.
"Is everyone here?" Ruan Mengxi looked around the private room. With too many people, she couldn’t remember everyone, but as the agreed time had arrived, "If there’s anyone not here yet, we won’t wait any longer; let’s all sit down for the meal."
The party’s flow was simple: eating, singing, and drinking.
After more courtesies, everyone settled in, and as all those arrived took their seats, Jiang Chengsi’s side still had an empty spot.
Many wanted to sit there, especially guys seeking an opportunity to get closer, but dared not, resulting in an empty seat next to him.
At this moment, the server was asking Ruan Mengxi if everyone was present and if they should start serving the food.
Past a quarter past seven, Ruan Mengxi figured if someone hadn’t come by now, they might not come at all. "You can go ahead and start serving."
As the server was about to serve the food, preparing to remove the extra chair and tableware, the private room door opened again.
"Sorry, it was hard to catch a cab from where I live because of the rain, so I’m late." Everyone turned to look at the voice from the doorway.
It was none other than—
Yang Yiyi.
Tang Wan had been chatting with classmates, turned at the sound, and her eyes dimmed immediately.
Yang Yiyi was wearing a bright red cheongsam, with a length just above the knee, and slit at the side, embroidered with a few plum blossom patterns. She walked in on high heels, clutching a high-end brand clutch.
With her hair intricately styled, she swayed gently as she entered the private room.
Everyone inside, both men and women, couldn’t help but take a few more glances. Tang Wan had to admit she was indeed well-dressed today.
Yet in such a setting, overly elaborate dressing unavoidably made others feel uncomfortable, feeling someone was trying to steal the show.
Jiang Jinsang leaned closer to Jiang Chengsi and whispered:
"Your peach blossom has arrived again. It’s obvious she’s tailor-made her appearance to appeal to your tastes and preferences, going to great lengths to entice you."
The encounter on the plane earlier was definitely not a coincidental meeting, and now she’s even specially dressed in a cheongsam, those familiar with Si Qingxiao could see who she was trying to imitate.
