Chapter 1526: Chapter 881: Heart-to-Heart with the Father-in-Law in the Grove, Such a Rascal~
The sunlight was intense, the scorching summer heat relentless. Outside the Jiang Mansion, a group of journalists still hadn’t dispersed, squatting in threes and twos under the shade of trees, as a flood of news swarmed the internet.
Particularly, the journalists squatting at the police station’s door noticed that the girl who followed the Fourth Master into the precinct hadn’t come out since she went in.
So...
That had to be the Yang woman the police report mentioned.
Beijing is only so big, and this person got entangled in the Geng Dong case. Her surname is Yang, and soon some media dug up her background thoroughly. Then it was revealed that she was once Geng Dong’s lover, along with numerous photos with other men.
After Geng Dong was taken in, he set his sights on Jiang Chengsi. At a glance, this woman seemed to be one of those who fish for wealthy men.
Due to Yang Yiyi’s arrest, there were many details in the bar drugging incident that needed to be asked of Geng Dong, leading him to realize that while he was spending money on Yang Yiyi, she was not only preparing her backup plans but was also being flirty with other men.
He was tricked by a woman, tricked until he was livid, almost dying of anger.
As for You Hongxian, the police report has already indicated it was a scheme of self-sacrificial deception and framing.
"To gamble with one’s life — that’s a ruthless person."
"The Fourth Master is truly unfortunate, targeted by a wicked woman and calculated against by such a ruthless person."
"To achieve their aims, they’d stop at nothing. Luckily, the plot was discovered early; if it succeeded, the Jiang Family and the Si Family would definitely clash and fight until both suffered."
"I’m just curious, how are the Fourth Master and Miss Si?"
...
Meanwhile, inside the Jiang Mansion...
The two families sat to have lunch together. Regarding the events that had occurred, everyone understood silently, and no one brought them up.
Previously at the gathering, everyone was just putting on an act, causing quite a ’displeasure.’ So they were particularly courteous to each other. When the Si Family came over, they even brought a pile of gifts. The two families meeting was like seeing long-lost relatives reunited.
The atmosphere made Jiangjiang and Taotao almost believe it was time for the New Year!
Jiang Chengsi clicked his tongue in helplessness:
They’re all such actors!
During the meal, no one mentioned recent events; they just chatted casually. After lunch, the old lady invited You Yunzhi to go watch an opera and then turned to Si Qingxiao, "Xiaoxiao, will you join us? Haven’t you often gone to the Peach Garden lately?"
"I think I’ll pass..." Si Qingxiao glanced at Jiang Chengsi, clearly hinting that the couple wanted some alone time.
The old lady smiled without saying anything. However, after they left, Si Qingxiao said she wanted to see Jiang Xiaowai, and followed Tang Wan upstairs, leaving Jiang Chengsi to deal with Si Yushan alone.
Jiang Chengsi was quite nervous inside.
Someone who has always been fearless now suddenly became timid, causing the other members of the Jiang Family to suppress their laughter.
Si Yushan cleared his throat, and a certain bootlicker, Xiaosi, enthusiastically served tea, "Uncle, have some tea."
"This is my first time at the Jiang Family mansion; the area is quite large, isn’t it?" Si Yushan said, taking two sips of tea while surveying the house.
"Yes, it’s pretty big."
"What’s behind this place?"
"Just a forest."
"Let’s go for a walk to digest the meal." Si Yushan said, getting up.
Obviously, he wanted to talk to Jiang Chengsi alone. Although Jiang Jinsang and others were in the living room, they certainly wouldn’t join in and watched as Jiang Chengsi followed Si Yushan out, humbly and obsequiously.
"Uncle, walk this way, watch your step." Jiang Chengsi walked diagonally behind him, secretly messaging in the group, seeking help.
[Brothers, what should I do? Can someone teach me, please? Online waiting, very urgent.]
Qiqi: [To be honest, I really can’t teach you. You want to marry their daughter and still managed to offend and insult your father-in-law. First one in history, haha—]
A cheeky emoji followed, enraging Jiang Chengsi. He knew he couldn’t rely on Qi Zeyan, that bastard.
Jiang Yanting: [Just admit your mistake obediently.]
Jiang Shiyi: [Stand there and take it.]
Jiang Xiaowu: [If it really doesn’t work, just cry, make a fuss, and pretend to hang yourself, lie on the ground throwing a tantrum.]
...
Huo Qinqi quietly chimed in: [What happened?]
The matters concerning Jiang Chengsi were handled by his Jiang family brothers, and if they needed help, they’d surely seek him. So, he didn’t worry himself about it. Therefore, he was unaware of Jiang Chengsi offending his father-in-law, until Qi Zeyan vividly recounted it for him.
Jiang Chengsi: [Old Huo, give me some advice, what’s a good solution?]
This group isn’t reliable! Although Huo Qinqi was a man of few words, he was a pragmatic person. Jiang Chengsi still anticipated his suggestions, yet the result...
