Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot-Chapter 1140 - 673: Racing Down Si Family’s Street? That Wild Kid Isn’t Half Bad (Part 2)
"Grandma, I’m really busy with the club things, so I came a bit late."
Tang Wan suddenly coughed fiercely as she heard this.
"...I’m preparing for the official opening and have to hire new employees. I’m really swamped."
"Cough cough—" Tang Wan coughed urgently twice.
"Sister-in-law? Is your throat not feeling well?" Jiang Chengsi acted still like the good brother.
"It’s not her throat that’s unwell; I think it’s you feeling itchy, coming so late and making everyone wait to eat. Now you’re even learning to lie. Today, Xixi came home and said you hadn’t been to the club for days, yet here you’re babbling nonsense. You brat, not a single truthful word out of your mouth!"
The old lady went straight up in flames, grabbed her cane beside her, and started smacking him.
"You can’t even date properly; you’re not keen on eating either. What can you even do?"
...
Jiang Chengsi was completely frazzled. Anyway, now grandma found him annoying in every way. Still, being her real grandson, the old lady didn’t hit him hard, just tapped his calf twice with the cane.
Massaging her shoulders and legs, he managed to appease the old lady, finally sitting down to eat a bit.
"What have you been doing lately? How did you get so thin?" The old lady stared at him closely.
"Messing around." Jiang Chengsi wouldn’t dare mention about modifying cars. Grandma never quite liked him fiddling with cars; it burns money, and it’s mainly dangerous.
"I heard you’re choosing a consort."
Jiang Chengsi nearly choked on a piece of chicken bone; how did such absurd rumors even reach her ears, "Don’t listen to their nonsense. I’m just looking for an assistant."
"Your matter is false, then tell me about your brother’s affairs."
"..." Jiang Chengsi felt like he couldn’t eat this meal. Sure enough, what has to come can’t be avoided, "Grandma, for my brother’s affairs, you really have to ask him."
"If I could find him, would I be asking you?" Jiang Shiyi’s experiments were reaching a critical phase. Even if you went to the lab, you might not necessarily see him.
"You... how am I supposed to say it." Jiang Chengsi fiddled with the chopsticks, continuously poking at the chicken wing in front of him.
"I remember when Wanwan gave birth to Mutang, I called you, and some people, I don’t know whether they pretended to hear my voice, or were really half asleep, but they hung up on me, and even gave me an attitude..." The old lady lowered her head, fiddling with the jade bracelet on her wrist, starting to bring up old accounts with Jiang Chengsi.
These matters had passed long ago, with Jiang Xiaowai already a month old, yet the old lady still remembered.
"Grandma, I really don’t know much about my brother’s matters..." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
"Tell me what you do know."
"It’s a long story."
"Then stay here tonight and tell me slowly."
"Grandma, it’s weekend tomorrow, I have plans."
"What serious plans could you possibly have?"
Jiang Chengsi knew grandma disliked him talking about cars. If she found out he arranged to teach a girl driving, she’d surely get upset.
"Let me tell you, Qi Family is inviting Xixi and her parents over for dinner tomorrow. Looks like their matters will be settled soon. You, look at you, not knowing what you’re busy with all day, not even in a hurry..."
Jiang Chengsi dared not retort at this point; he just nodded to whatever his grandma said in a low voice.
Qi Zeyan had already set up to invite the Ruan Family parents over for dinner. Tonight, he was finally free and happy, wanting to invite Jiang Chengsi for drinks, but ended up being declined.
Jiang Chengsi was stuck with grandma for the whole night, finally lasting until she was tired and went back to sleep, only to be constantly disturbed by the cries of Jiang Xiaowai’s little fluffy neck.
Why call him Jiang Xiaowai, might as well call him Jiang Suona, crying so long, aren’t you tired?
...
He became a night owl, recently tired from modifying cars, continually being interrupted by Jiang Xiaowai’s intermittently crying all night. The next day when Jiang Jinsang knocked on his room’s door, someone with a big morning temper nearly jumped up to smash his head.
"Jiang Xiaowu, are you deliberately provoking me?"
Jiang Jinsang was equally helpless, "Fourth brother, your alarm has been ringing for over an hour. It’s noisy."
"My alarm?" Jiang Chengsi had arranged to teach someone to ride today. He usually lived in East City so time wasn’t tight. Being just at the old house, driving home would take over an hour; he was afraid of oversleeping, which is why he set an alarm and turned the volume to the max.
The old house’s soundproofing was average; he didn’t wake up himself, but ended up riling up pretty much everyone else at the Jiang Family, giving them headaches.
"It’s been ringing for a long time, it’s already woken my son up. If you don’t open the door soon, I’m ready to call someone to bash it down."
The alarm sound was also intermittent. The little guy just fell asleep and was startled awake again, making Jiang Jinsang restless.
