Chapter 1511: Chapter 870: Clashing with the Father-in-Law? A Complete Falling-Out, Left in Tears (Part 2)
Qi Zeyan suddenly remembered Jiang Chengsi asking him what kind of person Yun Hezhi was. Understanding dawned on him; if he were an ordinary man, no one would care this much.
Whether in words and deeds, or appearance and character, Yun Hezhi was excellent in every way. Otherwise, the lady of the Chuanbei Family wouldn’t have held him in such high regard.
They almost treated him as a successor, which shows how exceptional he was.
"Xiaoxiao—" You Hongxian spoke up, "I wanted you to come over to resolve the conflict, not to start an argument. Let’s all take a step back."
"Everyone’s angry right now, why say such hurtful things?"
You Hongxian was clearly trying to mediate, afraid that the situation wasn’t chaotic enough.
"I came here today with the intention of reconciling, but what did he say? He actually asked what my relationship with Mr. Yun was? I..." Si Qingxiao was both angry and annoyed.
The feeling of being misunderstood yet powerless to explain was played out vividly.
"What? Can’t explain it?" Jiang Chengsi smirked lightly.
When he puts on an act, he’s really infuriating.
"Jiang Chengsi, don’t go too far."
"Who’s the one going too far? You don’t trust me, do you? And what about you? When I’m being called a scumbag, what were you doing? Not a single call, but running off to give flowers to another man!"
Far away in the Peach Garden, Yun Hezhi sneezed out of the blue. Could it be a summer cold?
The thick costumes, the hot weather, putting them on and taking them off—hot and cold—it’s easy to catch a cold.
...
As Jiang Chengsi finished speaking, everyone was unsettled, and the Jiang family’s old lady sternly rebuked him, "If you don’t want to eat, get out! What nonsense are you spouting! In the Peach Garden, it’s normal for opera fans to give flowers!"
"After the incident, what did you do? Went drinking and got into a fight with Zeyan, and you think you’re capable?"
"And now you’re here spouting such rubbish. Hurry and apologize to Xiaoxiao!"
Given his temper and character, he was naturally unwilling, merely sneering without a word.
"I don’t think an apology is needed." Si Yushan suddenly spoke, "But continuing this meal is truly unnecessary."
"Brother-in-law." You Hongxian, seeing the situation, knew it was completely broken.
With Si Yushan’s personality, enduring humiliation is one thing, but Jiang Chengsi’s words were attacking Si Qingxiao, insinuating she had improper relations with others.
Such baseless slander, no girl can endure it, let alone her parents.
"Brother-in-law, don’t be angry..." You Hongxian was secretly pleased. He arranged the meeting hoping they’d fall out. Now that it had succeeded, he was naturally happy, yet he had to appear anxious and eager on the surface.
"How can I not be angry!" Si Yushan’s tone suddenly turned cold.
"I wouldn’t have come for this meal if it weren’t for Xiaoxiao’s pleas. Last time you called me, you promised to give us an explanation."
"So many days have passed, no explanation, yet you made the news for drinking and fighting. Now, you’re reversing the blame onto Xiaoxiao? Jiang Chengsi, who gave you the guts!"
Si Yushan’s loud rebuke drove the atmosphere in the room to an ice point.
"Mr. Si..." The old lady stood up, seemingly wanting to explain something.
"Madam Jiang, you needn’t say anything. I don’t wish to argue lest it harms our relationship." Si Yushan glanced at Jiang Chengsi, "Jiang Chengsi, I’m stating this today..."
"Our Si Family doesn’t want a son-in-law like you!"
"To think I took care of you, even taught you business, I even considered handing the company to you, and look at what you’ve done!"
Jiang Chengsi’s heart was in turmoil!
Oh my goodness—
How could he go against Si Yushan?
But as planned, they should have collaborated internally, surely the Si Family was just putting on a show.
Jiang Chengsi simply steeled his heart, "You taught me business? Wasn’t it deliberately torturing me? Sending me off to Nanjiang and specifically letting Mr. Yan handle me, don’t you know what kind of person he is?"
Some Mr. Yan in distant Nanjiang: "..."
"What do you mean by that? Are you saying I did it on purpose? If I really thought so little of you, I wouldn’t have let Xiaoxiao accompany you!" Si Yushan was so angry his beard bristled, "You ungrateful little wretch."
"What’s in your heart, I think you know better."
...
The two exchanged barbs, and even those who wanted to intervene found no opportunity to do so.
They could only watch the two battle it out online!
Jiang Chengsi had been a rebellious youth, once angering his father to the point of spitting blood, with an extraordinary ability to infuriate others!
Si Yushan was a refined and principled man; arguing with him, he finally spat out a harsh sentence in anger:
"You and my daughter, never in this lifetime! Don’t expect to take another step into our Si Family!"
He got up and headed for the door after speaking.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law—" You Hongxian hastily chased after him.
You Yunzhi and Si Qingxiao quickly followed suite.
Before leaving, Si Qingxiao specifically glanced at Jiang Chengsi.
The two exchanged a glance.
Si Qingxiao seemed to have a lot in her eyes, which Jiang Chengsi thought was telling him:
"Great performance, nicely done!"
"Jiang Chengsi!" The old lady, furious, took her cane and aimed fiercely at his calf, but in her anger her hand shook and hit the side of a chair instead, producing a crisp sound.
"Grandma!" Jiang Shiyi, who had been silent, immediately stepped in to block her.
"You brat didn’t stop him earlier, and now you’re here protecting him. Move aside. Today, I must beat him to death. Finally got a wife, and he infuriated her away. Even pulled Boss Yun into it. What did Boss Yun do?"
The more the old lady thought about it, the angrier she got, her whole body shaking.
"Grandma——" Jiang Jinsang also walked over, holding her hand, and Tang Wan quickly helped her pour a glass of water, "Grandma, calm down, have some water."
Although the old lady was angry, she couldn’t vent it on Tang Wan, so she reached out to take the glass and drank a few sips, suddenly realizing that all her grandsons were standing with Jiang Chengsi.
The old lady was so furious earlier, she hadn’t realized it. Now she felt that something was off.
Under normal circumstances, not to mention others, Jiang Yanting as the eldest brother wouldn’t be indifferent.
She took a deep breath, looked at everyone present, and then started piecing things together.
Could it be that they staged a group play for her?
As for the Si Family over there...
Si Qingxiao is a very steady person, evident from her invitation to the Peach Garden to watch plays.
The old lady was both angry and helpless, took her cane, and poked Jiang Chengsi in the leg twice, "You brat, one day I’ll be driven to death by you!"
Everyone in the booth knew that today’s event was merely a play.
Except for the person who set the trap, still in the dark, probably never imagined that there were so many actors in the play.
**
The old lady "berated" Jiang Chengsi as they left the hotel, many witnessed it.
The news about the Jiang Family and the Si Family meeting unhappily spread quickly, Jiang Chengsi was "furiously" leaving everyone behind, driving away alone, speeding off, even angering the old lady to the point of "clenching her chest," calling him an unfilial son.
The gathering was meant to be after dark, and now the night had deepened.
Jiang Chengsi was driving aimlessly in the night, his phone vibrated, unsurprisingly, another fish was hooked.
"Fourth Master, I heard about today’s events, I’m truly sorry for causing you so much trouble."
"It’s not your fault; our relationship has issues, it has nothing to do with you."
"Previously, Mrs. Jiang also told me a lot, I think I really made mistakes, I’m planning to leave Beijing, can we meet? I have something to say in person."
"What’s there to say that can’t be said over the phone?"
"It’s inconvenient on the phone."
"Alright then."
...
Jiang Chengsi immediately informed Jiang Jinsang about the fish getting hooked.
They initially planned to close the net during the gathering, but since there are two fish, catching one might alert the other and allow it to escape. Since they continue scheming, it’s better to go along with it and let things flow naturally.
Make the final catch.
Jiang Chengsi wasn’t good at thinking these things through, wasn’t it better to just cut to the chase?
Jiang Jinsang told him the timing wasn’t right!
Now if they must act, it has to be a fatal hit.
Otherwise, it’ll be like You Hongxian, spring winds blow wild grasses, it’ll happen again next year.
Jiang Chengsi thought it made sense and agreed with the plan, but then followed with a chilling statement:
"I used to dig holes for others to jump into, but this time they’re digging their own holes to jump into. When they find out the truth, their expressions should be quite spectacular!"
Digging their own pit to jump into?
Jiang Chengsi clicked his tongue:
His brother must be a psychopath!
"Hey, Xiaowu, how did I perform today? The Oscars owe me a statuette." Jiang Chengsi felt today’s performance was flawless.
"You’re really bold, daring to go head-to-head with Mr. Si."
"It’s all just playacting."
"It’s Si Miss who was playacting, as for Mr. Si... he might not be aware."
"..."
Jiang Chengsi was utterly deflated; so, he truly did cross his future father-in-law? Wasn’t it supposed to be playacting? That’s not how the script went.
How will this be resolved later?
