Chapter 1226: Chapter 716: Shocking Encounter! A Thunderclap Stuns Everyone (Part 2)

Jiang Jinsang saw that his face was colored with anger and felt a bit of a headache, "Fourth Brother..." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Even if I’m tricked into being left with nothing but underpants, it’s my choice, stay away from us." Jiang Chengsi snorted coldly.

Early in the morning, his rare good mood was completely ruined by this kid.

"Ah ah—" Xiaowai kept waving his little arms at him from the tree.

...

Tang Wan watched the two brothers going back and forth, and was stunned, but she vaguely guessed some things, because previously, Jiang Chengsi and that picky customer of hers already had a subtle connection.

Moreover, Jiang Jinsang said he didn’t know who she was, so she mouthed "Xiao" towards Jiang Jinsang.

He nodded.

Tang Wan chuckled in a muffled voice, what’s going on? She only gave birth, did her confinement month, celebrated New Year, and yet these two ended up together.

However, she’s known "Miss Xiao" for many years, she certainly wouldn’t be any scammer, her family conditions should be very good, considering her own conditions, speaking of that...

If she really wanted to find some rich husband, there are plenty of rich second generations in Beijing easy to catch, targeting Fourth Brother, this peculiar one, doing so in high difficulty would be beyond worth.

At the Si Family in Guandong

It was already Lantern Festival, someone had sent them some lanterns, and Mr. Si was having people hang the lanterns on trees to add some festive atmosphere.

"Miss, let us do it." The Si Family members saw their Miss actually put in handiwork herself, hurried over, ready to take the lantern from her.

"I’m just hanging some lower ones, if a ladder is needed, you do it." She’s thinking about meeting Jiang Chengsi in the afternoon.

Excited yet a little nervous.

Because today she would tell Jiang Chengsi who she is, what her name is, where she lives.

She’s unsure how Jiang Chengsi would react after knowing, whether he’d be angry or something, with some anxiety and restlessness in her heart, unable to stay sitting in the house, looking at people hanging lanterns in the yard, she came out to find something to do, divert her attention.

"People are arriving, why aren’t the pastries ready yet?" You Yunzhi’s voice echoed from inside the house, "Later some kids are coming, don’t spray anything scented in the living room, move this incense burner inside..."

"Clean the carpet again."

"Don’t place these flowers there."

...

She herself was preoccupied, cared little for the guests coming to the house, mostly thinking they are probably father’s business partners or unfamiliar distant relatives.

During the New Year, guests at home were constant, it isn’t something new.

By this time, the sound of cars had already been heard outside, someone rushed past her, "Sir, Ma’am, they’re here."

"Are they?" With heating in the house, You Yunzhi hurriedly put on her coat and went out, noticing she was still standing in the yard, slightly frowned, "Stop fussing, go wash your hands, tidy up a bit, guests are here."

"What’s there to tidy up, who are the esteemed guests today, look how anxious you are." The lanterns are all wired up, they’ll light up at night when powered.

At this moment, the lantern’s top in her hands, the entire string was tangled, she was attempting to make sense of it.

Her father also came out of the house, reminded her to stop, she pursed her lips, planned to untangle the last bit of string, hang up this lantern, then wash her hands and tidy up before meeting the guests.

...

Jiang Family’s car stopped at the Si Family’s door, someone immediately came to greet them.

Tang Wan was visiting the Si Family for the first time, the recently renovated house, rustic and grandiose, surrounded by lush pine and bamboo, even in winter, full of life.

At the grand entrance, painted red and gold, two large lanterns hung high, at the door, two enormous stone lions guarding the house, proudly fierce amidst the chilly wind.

The Tang Family’s old residence in Pingjiang is a standalone courtyard with three sections, where many families use stone lions too; such large lions she was seeing for the first time, very imposing.

They got out of the car, opened the trunk to take out the gifts they brought, Si Family members immediately stepped up to assist.

"Give me the car keys, I’ll park it for you." Si Family members treated Jiang Cuo with extra courtesy.

"Fourth Brother..." Jiang Jinsang couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Chengsi again, "I..."

"I told you already, my business is not your concern, why are you so idle, pestering again and again, what do you want?"

"..."

Jiang Jinsang, not inherently a warm-hearted person, happened to have a rare moment of goodwill, but unfortunately, someone didn’t appreciate it.

Kindness treated like donkey’s liver, Jiang Jinsang didn’t want to make himself look foolish, hence remained silent.

"You’ve arrived—" At this point, Si Family members also came out.

"Uncle, Auntie." Tang Wan followed Jiang Jinsang and Jiang Chengsi’s lead in addressing, she was meeting the Si Family for the first time.

Mrs. Si dressed very simply, graceful and poised, her demeanor calm, but you must admit, bloodlines can never be completely hidden, You Shenming resembled her somewhat, albeit she was elegant in her conduct, exuding gentleness and kindness.

On the other hand, Mr. Si...

In a simple black outfit, came out to greet guests in a long garment.

Mild-mannered features, but exuded the aura of a superior naturally, gracefully dignified down to the bones, even simplest attire couldn’t hide it.

This man is rumored to be the current head of the Si Family, addressed as Mr. Si by outsiders—

Si Yushan.

From surface appearance, this couple seemed to be extremely friendly and sophisticated.

"No standing at the door, come in quickly, don’t let the child catch cold." You Yunzhi glanced at the little one in Tang Wan’s arms, couldn’t take her eyes off.

Jiang Xiaowai laying on his mother, encountering strangers, showed no fear, stared back at her.

"Such a good-looking kid." You Yunzhi wanted to hold him, but just met, it seemed inappropriate to ask, mentioning they’re too courteous for bringing so many things, while beckoning them to enter, "I had lots of food prepared, don’t leave for lunch today, dine at our house."

"Auntie, today at lunch..." Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang originally planned to eat at Jiang Chengsi’s place.

This was a task given by the old lady, letting Tang Wan see Jiang Chengsi’s living condition, check if he lived sloppily in his "doghouse".

"Don’t say more, listen to me, okay?" You Yunzhi smiled.

You Yunzhi and Tang Wan walked ahead, Jiang Jinsang, Jiang Chengsi, and Si Yushan followed behind, casually exchanging pleasantries.

"Heard your club is doing quite well?"

Si Yushan glanced at Jiang Chengsi, examined his outfit, also noticed his general disposition, overall felt different from last year.

The entire vibe seemed like he’d transformed.

Especially with the red buttons on his clothes, somewhat flamboyant and showy.

He certainly couldn’t wear such clothes at his age, but they suited Jiang Chengsi, naturally assertive and free, young people look good in anything.

Jiang Chengsi just smiled, "Thanks to your blessing, didn’t expect you and Auntie to still think of me, sending me a bouquet."

"It’s nothing..."

Meanwhile, someone was still hanging lanterns in the yard, hearing voices approaching, the lantern was yet hung when mother commented, "You’re still here, guests have arrived..."

She looked over, met Tang Wan’s gaze, barely processing it when laughter came from behind, and Jiang Chengsi appeared.

Eyes met, she felt a tremor through her body mysteriously, fingers shook, the lantern rolled off from between her fingers.

Mute with her voice, she couldn’t utter a single word.

Suddenly feeling...

Tranquil waters stirred, thunder in a clear sky.

During the auspicious Lantern Festival, a shocking thunderstroke cracked within Si Family.
