Capítulo 598: 380 Public Discussion on Snatching the Bride? Assistance from an Accomplice (2nd Update)_2
That day, so of those responsible for the wedding gathered at Jiang Mansion to verify the proceedings.
“You guys don’t even know, thinking about Yanting’s wedding excites , this is the first ti I’ve been a groomsman.” Qi Zeyan combed his slicked-back hair, lounged on the sofa with his legs propped up, examining the wedding invitations.
“Hey, what do we need to do when picking up the bride?”
“It’s my first ti, I have no experience.”
Shen Zhixian chuckled, “It’s about picking up the bride.”
“I’ve heard they set up so obstacles to make things difficult for the groom and groomsn, what do we do if we get stumped?”
Xie Duo was there that day, raised his hand to adjust his rimless glasses:
Isn’t it quite normal to get stumped?
He was prepared, planning sothing like a triathlon or a quiz contest, because… if he missed the wedding day, he’d be under Jiang Yanting’s thumb for the rest of his life.
How could he miss such a golden opportunity to make things tough for him?
“I’m just worried about being stumped and delaying everything, what then?” It was Qi Zeyan’s first ti as a groomsman, and he had watched so related videos online, which showed all sorts of tricks making it not easy to pick up the bride.
“Getting stumped…” Huo Qinqi, sitting in a corner, slightly raised an eyebrow, “then we just barge through.”
“Old Huo, you think this is a bride kidnapping?” Jiang Chengsi laughed out loud.
“Any problem with that?” his expression stern, not seeming like a joke.
Qi Zeyan enjoyed watching the spectacle, “I think it’s feasible, kidnapping the bride is thrilling, hey, Yanting, we should bring more people with us then.”
…
Xie Duo sat on the side, his heart skipped a beat…
Hey—I’m a Xie, I’m family on the bride’s side, I’m still here, are you all discussing how to kidnap the bride right in front of ?
So brazen?
Openly planning a wedding heist?
But looking around, he found that everyone present was a friend or relative of Jiang Yanting, and he was helplessly isolated.
Jiang Jinsang slightly raised an eyebrow, “Mr. Xie is still here, is this appropriate?”
Huo Qinqi looked at Xie Duo, leaving him with another blood-boiling comnt, “Sorry, forgot you were still here.”
Xie Duo: “…”
The group chatted a little more before preparing to leave.
“Old Huo, although I don’t know if your uncle and aunt can make it, take their invite with you,” Jiang Yanting handed him the invitation, then turned to look at another corner to Jiang Shiyi, who had not spoken since he entered, “This invitation is… if they are willing, let them co.”
Jiang Yanting didn’t spell it out, but everyone in the room knew it was definitely for Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Zhaolin.
“Alright.” Jiang Shiyi took the invitation, and out of the corner of his eye caught sight of a few invitations beside Tang Wan, his lips slightly curving up, “Sister-in-law, are those for Mr. Tang and Miss Shen?”
“Mm-hm.” Tang Wan nodded.
Those were just handed to her by Shen Zhixian.
“Would you like to deliver Miss Shen’s for you?”
Jiang Chengsi raised his eyebrows slightly… what was his brother up to?
“Would that be convenient?” Shen Zhixian was about to get married and Tang Wan was preparing her wedding gift, still needing to finish the last bit and too busy to split herself in two.
“It’s in Hexi, what’s inconvenient about that, plus our company is close by, just a few minutes to give it to her during the lunch break.”
“Then I’ll trouble third uncle with this.” Tang Wan handed him Shen Shuci’s invitation.
Taking an invitation wasn’t a big deal, especially since their companies were indeed close by, so it was convenient.
However, Jiang Chengsi knew all too well what kind of person his devilish brother was—usually, if you asked him for a little help, he would act as if you were a big baby who couldn’t handle a simple task.
And yet here he was, offering to take care of the wedding invitation.
Qi Zeyan was taken aback and couldn’t help but glance at soone else:
What was Jiang Shiyi up to? He knew that Shen Shuci had been in trouble before, and Jiang Shiyi had helped out. Could it be that he had taken a fancy to her and wanted to undermine the Huo Family?
He looked so gentle and quiet. After entering the room, he kept mum and was actually capable of doing big things?
As people left one by one, Jiang Chengsi, who had ridden his beloved motorbike, and Jiang Shiyi, who drove at a snail’s pace and was a clean freak, did not leave together even though they lived in the sa house.
Qi Zeyan was mulling over whether or not to give Jiang Shiyi a heads-up to be more cautious?
He deliberately slowed down and kept a close eye on Jiang Shiyi, preparing to remind him, since he was Jiang Chengsi’s biological brother. Although they didn’t interact much and he was rather cold and detached, he thought he should still warn him…
Even if he crossed the Huo Family in the future and ended up “exposed in the wilderness,” at least his conscience would be clear.
I’ve warned you; if you dig your own grave, you can’t bla .
He paid extra attention to Jiang Shiyi’s every move, then saw him walk straight to the Huo Family’s car after stepping out, knock on the car door, and after the rear side window rolled down, passed sothing inside…
“When your sister-in-law handed Miss Shen’s wedding invitation to the young mistress earlier, I saw you staring intently,” Jiang Shiyi said, feeling that the man was being too reticent; he couldn’t stand it and took the initiative to speak, taking Shen Shuci’s wedding invitation.
“Thank you,” said Huo Qinqi, taking the invitation and thanking him before rolling up the window and driving away.
Qi Zeyan, who was further away, couldn’t hear what they were saying, but he wasn’t stupid and seed to guess sothing…
Jiang Shiyi watched the Huo Family’s car leave before taking out his car keys, ready to drive away, when from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Qi Zeyan and exchanged a look…
Without a word!
Yet they both confird each other’s identities.
It looked like they were all inford parties, and accomplices.
“Mr. Qi, I’ll be leaving first,” said Jiang Shiyi, then he opened the car door and drove off.
Seeing all this, Qi Zeyan was dumbfounded. Hell, is that how you play the ga?
Were all these Jiang Brothers devils or what? What sort of creature was Jiang Shiyi?
**
At that mont, the Huo Family’s people couldn’t help but praise Jiang Shiyi.
“Master, this Third Young Master Jiang is too sharp. It’s a good thing he’s on your side. If he sided with Xiaowu, things might not have been contained.”
“What do I have that needs him to cover for ?” the man asked, caressing the wedding invitation, an inscrutable look in his eyes.
The Huo Family’s people fell silent.
After a while, he finally said softly, “The elder generation is quite accurate in judging people.”
“What?” The Huo Family’s person was taken aback by his sudden, cryptic statent.
“Grandfather Jiang once said the smartest person in the Jiang Family, aside from Xiaowu, is… him.”
The Huo Family’s people nodded. Jiang Shiyi’s academic prowess was undeniable; he was definitely smart. Such a person should not be an enemy, even if he couldn’t beco a friend.
You could tell that he was no pushover just from the way he had sched against his biological father.
“Actually, he didn’t want to help …”
“It’s just that he had no choice but to make a decision at that ti, whether to choose or to choose Xiaowu, that’s why he did all this.”
“He purely wanted to watch the drama unfold.”
And indeed, that was exactly what Jiang Shiyi thought. After returning ho, Jiang Chengsi specifically asked why he had helped Shen Shuci get the wedding invitation. He didn’t respond, just washed his hands and disinfected before going straight into the laboratory.
He truly wanted to watch the drama play out, but soone was just too slow…
He had no choice but to give a tily assist.
He picked up a test tube and suddenly thought of Qi Zeyan. Was he an inford party too?
Huo Qinqi, why would he choose him as an accomplice? Intelligence aside, his big mouth… wasn’t he afraid of leaking secrets?
