In the banquet hall, the lights were still shining brilliantly, and the argunt between You Hongxian and Lou Xingyu grew increasingly fierce, with everyone whispering and murmuring.
Though the Lou Family had no evidence, everyone had their own judgnt.
"This matter definitely involves the You Family. I simply don’t believe the Lou father and son would have the guts without so incitent."
"You Hongxian has indeed been acting strange, siding with the Lou Family from the start. Fortunately, Fourth Master fears nothing, and Miss Si is very resourceful; otherwise, Miss Si might have suffered a silent loss."
"Fourth Master has saved Miss Si twice already. Don’t you truly think they could be a match? They look compatible."
"Can we seriously discuss the issue instead of shipping a couple?"
...
The crowd murmured, while Si Qingxiao quietly observed Jiang Chengsi.
What’s going on?
So unhappy? Is he frightened by my tactics?
Qi Zeyan placed his hand on Jiang Chengsi’s shoulder, "Sisi, don’t be upset. The adult world is always full of challenges and thorns. You couldn’t even et the family tonight. How about we grab a drink after the banquet?"
"I’m telling you, stumbling in love is completely normal."
"Breakups aren’t scary; luckily, you haven’t lost your chastity."
Jiang Chengsi took a deep breath, "I haven’t even broken up yet!"
"Well, it’s close enough. Have you ever visited her bridal chamber?"
"I..." Jiang Chengsi was so mad he could strangle him.
Jiang Jinsang watched the two bickering, feeling quite helpless. To be honest, there aren’t many who take relationships as seriously as his Fourth Brother.
Staying in the bridal chamber, not knowing her identity, even foolishly climbing over the wall—he’s unique.
Jiang Chengsi was so angry he wanted to kick Qi Zeyan, couldn’t he see how hurt and distressed he was right now? Why provoke him further?

anwhile, the argunt between You Hongxian and Lou Xingyu had reached the peak...
Lou Xingyu, driven to desperation, blurted out:
"Your son deserves to rot in prison, your You Family will soon be eradicated!"
Hearing this, You Yunzhi’s heart skipped a beat.
You Hongxian, thoroughly infuriated, felt his son You Shenming’s situation was like a thorn in his side. Even a touch would cause pain, and that scoundrel dared to tear open his wound in front of so many people.
He charged forward, intending to strike him, but Si Yushan swiftly stepped between them.
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing? You wouldn’t believe his words, would you?"
"If what he says is false, why are you so agitated?"
"He slanders and fras . How could I not be agitated? He’s deliberately trying to wreck our relationship."
"Whether it’s slander, I’ll have soone investigate. If you’re innocent, our relationship won’t change."
...
Si Yushan said as much, but his attitude clearly showed suspicion of You Hongxian.
Lou Xingyu felt his words had an effect, and a thought flashed in his mind:
"We did have sothing to do with drugging Miss Si, we wanted shortcuts. But today is Madam Si’s birthday; we didn’t plan to escalate things. If the matter goes public, it affects Miss Si’s reputation."
"It was his idea to invite the press and fully expose the issue; he said if we don’t, you might suppress it in secret."
"You can investigate these photographers, journalists. Fourth Master just said those people barged into the room at a rather coincidental ti."
The focus shifted back to Jiang Chengsi.
A certain foolish person only nodded slightly.
His heart was still troubled by the bridal chamber and the wild man issue. Truthfully, he wasn’t very interested in the mutual tearing of these two scumbags.
But concerning Si Qingxiao, he also wanted to know the exact truth.
If it was really as her uncle claid, having such a predatory beast near her, he truly couldn’t be assured.
Jiang Chengsi kept pondering which was more important to her, him or that wild man, and whether he was really being played.
Though these thoughts were significant, they paled in comparison to Si Qingxiao’s safety.
He wished for her peace and happiness above all.
Suddenly, he was struck by a thought!
Damnit?
Did I take on the role of the devoted male lead?
...
In the face of Lou Xingyu’s accusations, You Hongxian would never admit anything.
"You say I instigated, I commanded, where’s your evidence? Show it to ." He firmly insisted Lou Xingyu had no evidence, accusing him of slandering.
"Sis, Brother-in-law, Xiaoxiao, don’t listen to his nonsense. He’s desperate, randomly accusing and dragging innocent people down to divert attention, to absolve his son."
