What type of girl do you like?
Jiang Chengsi really hadn’t seriously thought about this question before, he could only use the won he knew as a reference. Tang Wan was fierce beneath her gentle exterior, Shen Shuci didn’t look easy to deal with, and even his brother liked those who were...
Quite sassy.
There didn’t seem to be any gentle ones.
After pondering for a while, he simply said, "Kind, gentle, and filial."
This answer was quite official. She sat in the passenger seat, gently pursing her lips, without speaking.
"Do you have any criteria for choosing a partner?" Jiang Chengsi turned his head to look at her.
"Special, unique, one of a kind."
Jiang Chengsi suddenly turned his head to glance at her, smirking. Honestly, her criteria were sowhat unexpected to him. This girl seed quite well-behaved, he thought she might like soone similar—maybe soone within the system, a person with stable work and inco.
Unique?
Quite interesting.
It was only later that he realized that even the gentlest and most obedient people have a bit of wildness in their bones.
...
After the two arrived at the hotel, Jiang Chengsi took her directly to Tang Wan’s there to help organize Jiang Jinsang’s full moon banquet.
Tang Wan was naturally very happy to see familiar faces; she even made two suits of small clothes for Xiaowai the tree, though they might be a bit big to wear now, they were exquisitely made, unique and cute.
At this ti, the room was almost full of won, including so relatives from the Tang Family and Jiang Family’s aunts, all here to see the child.
Seeing the small clothes made by "Miss Xiao," they couldn’t stop praising them.
"What are you all chatting about so enthusiastically?" The old lady pushed the door open and ca in, wearing new purple-red clothes today, with the Cyan Feather brooch Tang Wan gave attached to the collar, exceptionally festive.
"The old lady is here..." Everyone stood up imdiately.
"We’re all family, no need to stand on ceremony, have a seat." The old lady smiled broadly, her peripheral vision catching sight of the young girl standing beside Tang Wan, her eyes brightened a bit.
Unfamiliar, never seen her before, but she looked particularly beautiful.
"Whose girl is this?" Those who ca early were basically close relatives and friends, she thought it was one of Tang Family’s relatives, "Why have I never seen her before?"
"She’s my friend," Tang Wan introduced, "when I got married before, it was her who gave the Xiuhe set."
When Tang Wan ntioned Xiuhe, the old lady imdiately understood, "You ca together with Chengsi, right?"
Jiang Jinsang’s arrangent system, the old lady knew.
"Yes, hello Grandma Jiang."
"Good, good." The old lady nodded with a smile, but still kept sizing her up. Later, they passed along the clothes she made, the old lady’s generation mostly had experience sewing clothes, so they could see her craftsmanship from the stitches.
The old lady thought, this girl is pretty and skillful, why are other people’s daughters so outstanding?
Tang Wan knew her well, upon seeing the old lady’s look, she pretty much guessed sothing. What she’s most concerned about right now must be the matter of her fourth brother, could the grandmother be...
The old lady didn’t show anything, she just chatted with the relatives for a while and said so thanks to "Miss Xiao" for coming, telling her not to feel restrained.
"Later when there are more people, I might not be able to entertain you, co to our house next ti." Who doesn’t love a pretty and well-behaved girl, the old lady was no exception.
Tang Wan noticed she kept staring at "Miss Xiao" and privately asked if she had any thoughts.
"I don’t have any thoughts, just felt she looks sowhat familiar."
The old lady, having seen many people throughout her life, felt a sense of familiarity with her brows and deanor, yet couldn’t recall who she reminded her of.
Later she attributed it to perhaps just looking pleasant.
The old lady left the room and specifically went to find Jiang Chengsi to inquire about the situation of this girl, but Jiang Chengsi was clueless, which baffled the old lady.
Having seen her a few tis, still didn’t know any basic information.
Such a lovely young cabbage right in front of him, even a pig should know to take a bite.
"I just want to ask, during the drive here, what did you two talk about?"
Jiang Chengsi definitely didn’t dare tell Grandma he wanted to date. Considering her temperant, she would definitely arrange blind dates for him day and night, so he just said: "We talked about cars."
"Talked about cars? You chatted about cars with a fresh young girl?" The old lady was so angry her face turned red with rage, wishing to knock him a few tis to vent.
Not that she must pair up "Miss Xiao" with her grandson, but his attitude towards girls made her frustrated.
"Used to say Qinqi had a clumsy mouth, turns out you’re even worse. All these years you’ve been doing business outside, yet still don’t know how to speak!"
...
While the old lady was frustrated, the Qi Family and Ruan Family were in completely different moods.
Both parties were aware that although today was for the full moon banquet, it was indeed both an informal eting of in-laws. Grandpa Qi even took out his suit, had his daughter-in-law dye his hair specially last night. The feast started at six which had him fussing around the house since three.
Xiaozhu ca as the driver, to take them to the hotel.
Seeing Grandpa carefully tidying up his hairstyle, it made clear where Qi Zeyan inherited his obsession with hair.
Certainly grew up under the influence of Grandpa.
The Qi parents also dressed particularly carefully.
Needed to be formal and decent but couldn’t overdo it, had to keep a balance.
Qi Zeyan watched the busy family while playing card gas on his phone, feeling a bit anxious inside.
As for the Ruan Family, it was even more so. Ruan ngxi had seen photos of Qi Zeyan’s parents at the company, they were promotional ones, and this was the first ti eting them in person, inevitably feeling nervous.
Ruan Daqiang, though he claid it was just a al without discussing marriage yet, knew fine well maintaining appearances was essential. Even though it’s not a formal eting, couldn’t let the other side look down on them, definitely wanted to save face secretly.
Specifically went to get himself a suit, though being broad-shouldered and wide-waisted, in a suit and sunglasses, he looked no different than a bodyguard.
His slightly bulging stomach was especially noticeable.
He’d looked up information about the Qi Family online. Qi Zeyan’s father had a dignified appearance; though around forty or fifty, he appeared gentlemanly in photos prompting Ruan Daqiang to compare himself subconsciously.
Ruan Daqiang still tried to suck in his gut:
123, inhale, tighten the belly, hold it!
Yet he was scorned by his wife, "Stop sucking it in, you have to eat and drink eventually. Your buttons are too tight, they’ll pop off if you force them!"
"..."
Both families were secretly nervous.
Those already at the hotel for the full moon banquet awaited these two families to et. Online rumors claid Qi Zeyan and Ruan ngxi either broke up or confird their relationship, but today would reveal the truth.
Especially upon arriving, realized Jiang Jinsang was stirring things up, putting the two families at the sa table.
