Jiang Jinsang saw that his face was colored with anger and felt a bit of a headache, "Fourth Brother..."
"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 so things, because previously, Jiang Chengsi and that picky custor 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 confinent 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 scamr, her family conditions should be very good, considering her own conditions, speaking of that...
If she really wanted to find so 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, soone had sent them so lanterns, and Mr. Si was having people hang the lanterns on trees to add so festive atmosphere.
"Miss, let us do it." The Si Family mbers saw their Miss actually put in handiwork herself, hurried over, ready to take the lantern from her.
"I’m just hanging so lower ones, if a ladder is needed, you do it." She’s thinking about eting Jiang Chengsi in the afternoon.
Excited yet a little nervous.
Because today she would tell Jiang Chengsi who she is, what her na is, where she lives.
She’s unsure how Jiang Chengsi would react after knowing, whether he’d be angry or sothing, with so anxiety and restlessness in her heart, unable to stay sitting in the house, looking at people hanging lanterns in the yard, she ca out to find sothing 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 so 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 ho were constant, it isn’t sothing new.
By this ti, the sound of cars had already been heard outside, soone 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 esteed guests today, look how anxious you are." The lanterns are all wired up, they’ll light up at night when powered.
At this mont, the lantern’s top in her hands, the entire string was tangled, she was attempting to make sense of it.
Her father also ca 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 eting the guests.
...
Jiang Family’s car stopped at the Si Family’s door, soone imdiately ca to greet them.
Tang Wan was visiting the Si Family for the first ti, 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 ti, very imposing.
They got out of the car, opened the trunk to take out the gifts they brought, Si Family mbers imdiately stepped up to assist.
"Give the car keys, I’ll park it for you." Si Family mbers 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 mont of goodwill, but unfortunately, soone 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 mbers also ca out.
"Uncle, Auntie." Tang Wan followed Jiang Jinsang and Jiang Chengsi’s lead in addressing, she was eting the Si Family for the first ti.
Mrs. Si dressed very simply, graceful and poised, her deanor calm, but you must admit, bloodlines can never be completely hidden, You Shenming resembled her sowhat, albeit she was elegant in her conduct, exuding gentleness and kindness.
On the other hand, Mr. Si...
In a simple black outfit, ca out to greet guests in a long garnt.
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 seed to be extrely friendly and sophisticated.
"No standing at the door, co 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 t, it seed inappropriate to ask, ntioning 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 , 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 seed like he’d transford.
Especially with the red buttons on his clothes, sowhat 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 , sending a bouquet."
"It’s nothing..."
anwhile, soone was still hanging lanterns in the yard, hearing voices approaching, the lantern was yet hung when mother comnted, "You’re still here, guests have arrived..."
She looked over, t Tang Wan’s gaze, barely processing it when laughter ca from behind, and Jiang Chengsi appeared.
Eyes t, 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.
