Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot-Chapter 951 - 567: Waiting for the Wifey’s Call? The Happiness of the Rest of Life_2
At this moment, inside the room, the person was looking at her phone, and as Jiang Chengsi spoke, she recognized him instantly.
Why is it him?
The Jiang Family has a house, and the Jiang Family members have always gotten along well, so there shouldn’t be any reason for them to harshly exclude him. Why would he go all the way across Beijing to look at houses?
It’s really strange.
A coincidence? Or deliberate? Or because of the previous issue with the You Family...
In a mere few seconds, her mind was racing, and at that moment, the phone vibrated again, and Jiang Chengsi sent several messages.
[I really like your house, I’ve been searching for a long time, and it’s rare to find something so suitable. The price and everything are negotiable. Even if we don’t modify the wardrobe, it’s fine.]
[In a vast sea of people, meeting is fate. I hope you consider it well, and I’ll wait for your reply.]
[If you have time, we can meet and discuss in detail.]
He even added a pleading emoji at the end.
Suddenly, she recalled the time in Pingjiang, when he was riding a women’s scooter, a "swift as the wind" scene, and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
...
After sending the messages, Jiang Chengsi entered the room and kept staring at his phone.
"...Fourth Brother." Jiang Jinsang’s voice.
"Huh?" Jiang Chengsi seemed to snap back to reality, "What’s up?"
It turned out that Huo Qinqi and Shen Shuci were toasting everyone, and everyone stood up, even Jiangjiang and Taotao stood up with drinks in hand, except for him, still sitting dazedly.
"Sorry, waiting for an important call." Jiang Chengsi picked up the wine glass in front of him.
After everyone drank and sat down, Jiang Jinsang looked at him with a smile, "You’re so absent-minded, what important call makes you so distracted?"
Jiang Chengsi is someone who can be described as carefree, rarely keeping people or things in mind, more casual.
The only things that truly concerned him were motorcycles and racing cars.
"It’s nothing."
Jiang Chengsi held the glass, took another sip of wine, yet his gaze remained on the phone.
He knew too well that apart from this house, there might be no other place in Beijing that suited him, and if this didn’t succeed, he didn’t understand how long it would take to escape from Hexi next time.
He really didn’t want to stay with this bunch of shady characters anymore. Distance creates beauty, it’s fine to meet occasionally, but living so close makes trouble too easy.
The main thing is, living on the East side is farther from the Jiang Mansion, so even if Grandma wants to push for marriage, she can’t reach him.
Achieving many goals in one go!
Jiang Jinsang squinted his eyes, noticing that his gaze never left the phone, even lighting up the screen to avoid missing any calls or messages.
"Fourth Brother..."
"Hmm?" Jiang Chengsi held the glass, sipping a bit of wine.
"You’re not in love, are you?"
Jiang Jinsang said it casually.
"Cough—" The strong liquor just reached his throat, and this statement startled him, directly choking his throat.
That burning sensation spread from his throat to his lungs, and his face turned red.
What nonsense is this guy spouting?
His true love in this life was only motorcycles, and the only rumored partner he ever had was a guy, where did he get the idea that he was in love?
Jiang Jinsang leaned back in his chair, eyes lazy, "Your face is red, shy?"
"It’s the liquor burning me, which eye of yours saw me being shy?"
"That’s true, you’re always so thick-skinned."
Jiang Chengsi almost wanted to splash the wine on his face, "Is this how you talk to your brother?"
"Your expression waiting for a call is like a young boy in love waiting for a call from his sweetheart."
"Stop talking nonsense, you!" Jiang Chengsi said, lighting up the phone screen again.
Still no reply...
This is bad, not replying to me.
Jiang Chengsi knew he had to ask for a favor, so he didn’t dare to send too many messages, as it would be impolite, so he just waited.

Until the dinner gathering ended, several Huo Family brothers shouted for another round and said they wanted to go sing.
But except for the pregnant women and children, people dispersed into several groups, some going home, some to karaoke, but Jiang Chengsi was still staring at his phone.
"What are you doing? The event’s over." Qi Zeyan nudged him, "I’m not going to sing, what are you planning to do?"
"I’m not going either, going home."
The Huo Family brothers were puzzled, what’s going on?
The two people who organized the gathering weren’t going? Jiang Chengsi was the first to suggest singing, but he’s leaving now?
...
Jiang Chengsi didn’t really feel like singing. Whether he could rent this house or not was related to his future happiness, so he was extra concerned.
Jiang Shiyi happened to return home today, and when he opened the door, he saw someone sitting on the couch, staring blankly.
Normally, he’d be playing mobile games with the TV on, but today, the phone was placed carefully on the table, and his eyes were fixed intently on it, not moving an inch.
"Who are you waiting for a call from?"
"No one." Jiang Chengsi smiled sheepishly. He didn’t dare to tell his brother he was planning to rent a place, "Why are you back today? Is the experiment over?"
"No, just coming home to sleep tonight and to grab some clothes." Jiang Shiyi glanced at him once more before heading to his room.
Feeling like he was acting weird today, like something was on his mind.
But the weather was too hot, so Jiang Shiyi thought of taking a shower first before asking what’s up with him?
Thinking he hadn’t checked on his younger brother in too long, he needed to have a chat with him.
But as soon as he finished showering and was about to go downstairs, he heard someone in the living room suddenly burst into hearty laughter.
"Haha...hahaha, finally, I’ve been waiting for this."
Jiang Shiyi raised an eyebrow, what’s this fool up to?
Laughing like this in the middle of the night, not afraid of the neighbors filing a complaint? 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
When he went downstairs to inquire, Jiang Chengsi said he had just asked someone to help him bid for a car and was waiting for news, his face hardly able to conceal his joy and excitement.
Jiang Shiyi thought, in this world, cars might be the only thing that could make him so happy. Recently exhausted, he didn’t think much of it, just returned to his room to rest.
Jiang Chengsi held his phone, overjoyed, with a message on it.
[Let’s meet to discuss the rental in detail if you have time on the weekend morning.]
...
Actually, the other party didn’t really understand why Jiang Chengsi would deliberately move so far from the west of Beijing, feeling that there was something strange about it.
If it was him, or if the Jiang Family wanted something, had an agenda...
Instead of being passive, perhaps he should invite him in and see what he’s really up to.

Guantang Villa
Tang Wan returned home, and after showering, saw Jiang Jinsang with a hand in hand, spacing out, "What’s up with you? It’s rare to see you like this."
"Fourth Brother was acting strange today."
"Isn’t he strange every day? Who knows what he’s thinking about." Tang Wan wiped her hair.
Jiang Chengsi was always on a motorcycle, running East to West, and if you didn’t make an appointment in advance, it was hard to catch him.
"I felt that today he was particularly unusual..."
"Stop focusing on others. Fourth Brother always acts unconventionally."
"I’m usually not concerned, but recently I invested in his club..." Jiang Jinsang stroked his chin, speaking seriously, "Do you think there’s a problem with the club? Is Fourth Brother planning to run away with the funds?"
This was the money he had set aside for raising his child.
Tang Wan burst into laughter, "What are you thinking? Running away? Where could he go?
Jiang Jinsang was just trying to lighten the mood, walking behind Tang Wan, taking the towel from her hand to dry her hair.
And at this moment, apart from his excitement, Jiang Chengsi went into the garage. His precious little treasures finally found a home, and as he caressed the motorcycle, excitement was evident in his eyes.
Since the other party wanted to meet to discuss in detail, it showed an inclination to rent the house.
With his glib tongue and likeable appearance, he was sure the house would be a done deal.
My precious, soon I’ll take you all away from this damned place.
