Chapter 1531: Chapter 884: Jiang Xiaowai Who Loves to Scare People, Wedding Odds and Ends

In Beijing, it seems like there’s always endless gossip and juicy stories, but the main thing is, the melon between the Jiang Family and the Si Family, everyone hasn’t even seen the peel before it seemed to have quietly ended.

Originally, everyone thought Jiang Chengsi "cheated," was a "scumbag," with many insiders fanning the flames. Now, every day reporters catch these two coming and going together.

Everyone thought that once these two broke up, their sons and grandsons would have a chance to marry into the Si Family, only to find out they were rejoicing in vain.

Someone even caught Jiang Chengsi entering the Si Family’s place and not coming out that night.

Reporters camped in corners, sat through the night, feeding mosquitoes all night...

The next day, just as the rooster crowed, they saw Jiang Chengsi and Si Yushan taking a walk together, getting along exceptionally well.

Anyone with a keen eye could tell that these two probably had something going on. With nothing juicy from spying and sneaking photos, they pivoted to focus on Qi Zeyan’s wedding.

...

And then they really stumbled upon some hot gossip, saying they saw Ruan Mengxi driving a young guy to her apartment, buying him food and drinks, and even helping him with clothes.

Some gossip reporters, catching wind and jumping to conclusions, without verification, claimed:

[Qi Family’s daughter-in-law cohabiting with a mysterious man.]

The news even exaggerated, describing their relationship as a kept affair, saying she secretly kept a wolf cub, cheating on Qi Zeyan.

But the next day’s twist came, Qi Zeyan took decisive action, through his legal team, releasing a statement at nine in the morning, suing several media outlets and online accounts spreading such rumors.

The online gossip stopped in an instant, but discussions about Ruan Mengxi continued, with some people even blocking the club entrance, likely not daring to trouble Qi Zeyan, going after Ruan Mengxi instead.

And they happened to step right into Jiang Chengsi’s path, and someone actually asked his opinion on the matter.

"Opinion? It’s her own apartment, letting her cousin stay, buying him stuff, what’s the problem? You guys clearly have too much free time."

Cousin?

Later verification showed Ruan Mengxi indeed has a cousin studying at a university in Beijing.

The whole misunderstanding left Ruan Mengxi at a loss, and she turned to complain to Tang Wan.

"That’s how these reporters are, don’t take it to heart." Tang Wan laughed, "What about your cousin? Was there any impact on him?"

The one caught in the photos was indeed Ruan Mengxi’s younger cousin studying at the public security university, schools like this have very strict requirements for students.

"The reporters put a blur over his face in the photos. The school probably doesn’t know, but this kid actually called me very excitedly, saying he made the news. I just..." Ruan Mengxi had never noticed her cousin had an interest in this kind of thing.

Tang Wan burst out laughing, "As long as it didn’t affect him, how is your wedding planning going?"

"Quite smoothly, it’s my second time getting married, not as nervous as before, Zeyan already went to Pingjiang to get my parents." Ruan Mengxi looked at Tang Wan, "Wanwan, are you okay lately? You seem a bit weary."

"Isn’t it because of the few business deals Yun boss brought my way." Tang Wan had just received a custom request from Si Qingxiao a couple of days ago, almost triggering a headache, "If it were someone else, I definitely wouldn’t take this job. But since it’s sister-in-law, what can I do?"

Ruan Mengxi stifled her laughter, "You can’t really blame Yun boss for that, he’s just trying to help you get some more business."

"I know he means well." Which is why Tang Wan was even more exasperated.

"Do you know how his house hunt is going?"

"What house hunt?"

"We talked about it during dinner last time, your memory really went downhill after having the baby." Ruan Mengxi teased, "He mentioned wanting to move to a place in the suburbs with a yard, somewhere quieter, convenient for practicing his vocals."

"So did he find one?"

"I’ll send him a message and ask."

Ruan Mengxi quickly got a reply saying he had found a place. She congratulated him on the move and offered to help celebrate, but Yun Hezhi politely declined, saying rehearsals were busy, he was just moving, not buying a house, no need for all that.

"Does Yun boss have something going on?" Tang Wan recalled last time she met him, she was too focused on Si Qingxiao’s custom order to inquire further.

"Probably not. To him, the stage is more important than anything. Dating and stuff, in front of his career, barely worth mentioning."
