Chapter 1483: Chapter 854: Fluctuating Intelligence, Imitation Only Produces Counterfeits (Second Update)

Jiang Chengsi kicked away some green tea beside him, and Yang Yiyi, despite her bitterness, could only smile and thank him, "Thank you, Fourth Master, you’re always so considerate."

"You’re welcome."

Jiang Chengsi said as he brushed past her, directly sitting at his own seat, and winked at Jiang Jinsang.

Clearly saying:

Aren’t I smart? Hurry up and praise me!

Jiang Jinsang just smiled. Yang Yiyi was that kind of scheming person, clearly aware she had ulterior motives, even wearing a qipao similar to Si Qingxiao’s. But this dress wasn’t exclusive to Si Qingxiao, and some things are inconvenient to point out directly.

She sneakily caused trouble...

Jiang Chengsi, on the other hand, publicly humiliated her.

This was also indirectly telling everyone:

We’re not that close.

...

Very quickly, everyone started eating, chatting, and drinking. As the hosts, Qi Zeyan and Ruan Mengxi could only do so much and couldn’t accompany everyone, so Jiang Chengsi eagerly mingled with everyone.

Someone previously mentioned that he was reticent and not talkative?

That’s a blatant lie!

He talked more than Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan combined, and could even be described as sociable and good at interaction.

Such a contrast further indicated that his earlier actions were not merely about moving her aside but rather not wanting to talk to her at all.

Others could see it clearly, and Yang Yiyi was even more aware, dealing with some male classmates around her while keeping her attention on Jiang Chengsi.

Her gaze landed on her wine glass, and a new plan formed in her mind.

She intentionally filled the wine glass, holding it up, and swayed her way toward Jiang Chengsi.

Her target wasn’t Jiang Chengsi, but his clothes...

During a meal, spilling drink on clothes is common, but she could use it as an excuse to get a bit closer to him, as the clothes were wet by her, wiping or compensating for the clothes, anything goes.

If Jiang Chengsi went to the washroom to clean up, she might find a chance to be alone with him.

All sorts of scenarios flashed through her mind rapidly.

This trick is often seen on TV and rarely fails, few men don’t take the bait.

But she forgot that Jiang Chengsi was no ordinary man—

At this moment, everyone was toasting and walking around the tables, so Yang Yiyi’s action didn’t draw much attention, but next, someone became the focus of the entire crowd.

When she swayed her way to Jiang Chengsi’s side, deliberately lowering her voice to call him...

Jiang Chengsi sensed someone approaching, and even without seeing them, he already caught a whiff of her scent. In this setting, with no elders present, when someone comes to toast, it’s only natural to stand up. But his movement was a bit bigger.

He stood up abruptly, moving the chair back, and it directly hit Yang Yiyi’s calf, making her grunt as her fingers trembled, the full glass of wine overflowing instantly, soaking her clothes along her arm.

Wearing high heels today, her body faltered when her calf was hit, almost causing her to fall.

The wine spilled completely, not a drop left, all soaking onto her garments.

"Miss Yang?" Jiang Chengsi turned his head, looking innocent, "Are you okay?"

"N-no problem—"

Yang Yiyi was utterly annoyed, her plan failed, her calf got hit, and even her clothes got dirty. This qipao was one she had specially tailored!

"Glad you’re fine, you could’ve at least made a sound when you were coming, moving so quietly, if it weren’t at the dinner table, normally I’d think it was a thief behind me and grab you on the spot."

"..."

Jiang Chengsi had always been audacious, whatever he said seemed normal.

The main thing was, Yang Yiyi was the one who got her calf bumped and clothes dirtied, yet Jiang Chengsi’s implication was:

You deserved it.

Yang Yiyi forced a smile, quickly reaching out to wipe the wine stains on her clothes, "It’s, it’s nothing, it was my carelessness."

"As long as you’re fine." Jiang Chengsi said and truly stopped acknowledging her.

Jiang Jinsang chuckled softly, lowering his voice, "Fourth Brother, just leaving it like that?"

"She said it’s fine, why should I bother so much? I’m not her boyfriend, plus, she admitted it was her carelessness."

The tone was downright justified.

Jiang Jinsang merely smiled, "Her tactics are somewhat low-level."

"When I opened the bar, I saw all sorts of people, this little trick she flaunts around."

Jiang Chengsi took a sip from his tea cup, "Such tricks, might work on other men, but daring to use it on me."

"I’m serious, if it weren’t for Xiaoruan organizing a class reunion today, I wouldn’t have given her face. I hope my actions haven’t disrupted your schemes of fishing out snakes?"

Judging by methods and minds, Jiang Chengsi wasn’t deficient, since she came slyly, he returned the courtesy duly.

And openly so.

Leaving Yang Yiyi speechless, quickly going to the washroom to clean up, but she wasn’t planning to give up on Jiang Chengsi, for that person was usually like this, if he suddenly became gentle with her, that anomaly would be concerning.

Some people, the more unattainable, the more challenging they seem.

**

After the gathering ended, everyone shifted to a private room for karaoke and drinks, Tang Wan was thinking about her son and bid farewell to her classmates, planning to leave for another meeting.

Jiang Chengsi initially wanted to stay longer, but with a green tea around, it was likely she’d pull some stunts later, and with his temper, he feared he wouldn’t hold back his anger, disregarding the occasion or who was present, surely going to deal with her.

He also decided to leave.

"I’ll take you guys." Qi Zeyan plainly said.

"No need, you have so many people to entertain, we don’t have to be so courteous." Jiang Chengsi said with a smile, patting his shoulder, and followed behind Jiang Jinsang and his wife, the three of them preparing to leave Fuyou Bar.

Yang Yiyi was initially prepared to approach Jiang Chengsi at this moment, unexpectedly, she hadn’t succeeded even once, nor spoken to him much.

Seeing them leaving, her phone vibrated, someone sent her a message, prompting her to hastily chase after them.

She called out to Jiang Chengsi in the parking lot.

"Miss Yang, do you still need something?" Jiang Chengsi’s patience was limited.

"It’s just that you helped me on the plane, I wanted to thank you."

Jiang Chengsi gave her a meaningful look, directly opened the car door, got in, without leaving her a word. Yang Yiyi watched the car drive away from her side, not showing any displeasure on her face.

...

And the little matter between Jiang Chengsi and Yang Yiyi soon reached the Si Family.

It even amused Si Qingxiao into a smile.

"Fourth Master is truly something, directly moved her chair away, said he wouldn’t disturb her from catching up with classmates, and pointed out the matter of being on the same plane, by saying it outright, he instead avoided gossip."

Jiang Chengsi managed the situation quite adeptly, not making things difficult for Ruan Mengxi and them, since the two are getting married soon, gathering for a meeting, there’s no need to create an unpleasant scene.

So his actions, without tearing directly, indeed offered her no face.

Very subtly clarified the situation, the main thing being, not giving her a chance to get close.

"Miss, what do you think about Fourth Master’s intelligence level..." The Si Family member frowned.

"What do you mean?"

"It feels fluctuating."

Sometimes it seems he lacks intelligence and emotional intelligence, other times it seems he’s a savvy person.

Si Qingxiao raised an eyebrow at him, "Are you saying my judgment is poor?"

"That’s not what I mean."

The Si Family member lowered his head, can’t even speak the truth? Is their young lady too protective?

"But Miss..."

"What else?"

"She specifically dressed in a qipao today, seems a bit deliberate..."

Si Qingxiao’s eyes narrowed slightly, appears? This is clearly intentional, she communicates daily with Jiang Chengsi, and knew Pingjiang recently had a rain.

In such weather, it’s inconvenient to walk outdoors in a dress, let alone a qipao, usually paired with high heels. This was clearly a carefully dressed appearance for the gathering.

"She seems to deliberately imitate your dressing style." The Si Family member candidly said, "This outfit is newly bought, having followed her for quite a while, it’s the first time seeing her dressed like this, unlike her usual fashion sense."

Si Qingxiao couldn’t help but smile...

A qipao!

She just wore one on her mother’s birthday party, and if not close acquaintances, it’s impossible to infer her preferences based on one day’s attire.

Yang Yiyi absolutely lacked the ability to know her usual love for qipaos.

Yet, what she imitates can only remain a counterfeit.

This matter has indeed become more amusing.
