Actually, these people wanting to inquire about Shen Shuci didn’t bother him at all, but such news couldn’t flow out from him, after all...
As soone who had tasted the bitter fruit of knowledge!
Once sothing happened, he feared that he would be treated like a wooden stake, rcilessly hamred by a certain soone.
...
Qi Zeyan took a sip of champagne to calm his nerves, "Chengsi, don’t ddle in Shen Shuci’s affair," he kindly reminded.
"Why would I ddle in her business?" Although they both lived in Hexi, they had only t a few tis.
**
In Jiang Chengsi’s view, Shen Shuci was Tang Wan’s aunt, and given the layers of relations between them, his level of interest in her was less than that of a new helt...
But he didn’t know that among the few people who had just inquired about Shen Shuci, a daring one, holding a wine glass, had approached her.
First, he greeted Jiang Jinsang, Jiang Shiyi, and Tang Wan before finally clinking glasses with Shen Shuci.
"Miss Shen, I’ve heard a lot about you, I never thought I’d et you today, it’s an honor." Actually, everyone could guess the young man’s aning, his eyes glued on Shen Shuci, it was obvious even to a fool.
"Mm." Shen Shuci didn’t even know him and just responded politely.
Jiang Jinsang and the others were all watching, and the young man felt a bit embarrassed. In an effort to bridge the gap, he plucked up the courage and said:
"Oh, I’m a friend of Fourth Master."
Subtext...
Introduced by Jiang Chengsi.
Jiang Shiyi glanced at his own younger brother who was being chummy with Qi Zeyan nearby, narrowed his eyes:
This kid, such a naive buffoon.
How could he have such a foolish brother?
With alcohol in play, it really brought out all kinds of creatures; everyone and anyone was there.
"Hello." Shen Shuci politely greeted him, giving Jiang Chengsi face.
"Miss Shen, would it be okay to add you on WeChat?" the young man asked boldly.
"Sure."
The evening was lively, everyone’s spirits were high, and Shen Shuci didn’t want to leave anyone feeling uncomfortable. Besides, adding contact information didn’t necessarily an sothing would develop afterward.
Once one person successfully broke the ice, three or four more young n followed suit, asking for her contact information.
"I didn’t expect Auntie to be so popular," Tang Wan teased.
...
The event lasted until about ten o’clock when everyone gradually dispersed. Shen Zhixian had already confird that a friend couldn’t serve as bridesmaid, so Shen Shuci had to step in. She needed to get to the Xie Family early the next day.
Jiang Chengsi, having drunk too much, sat in Jiang Shiyi’s car, provoking his disdain.
"Brother, don’t worry, I won’t throw up." Jiang Chengsi knew he was a germaphobe and thought he was afraid of his car getting dirty.
"It’s not about throwing up. It’s that I’m afraid of being in a closed space with you and catching a virus."
"Huh? I’m very healthy, no virus."
"Idiot virus is also a kind of disease."
...
Jiang Chengsi had drunk too much and didn’t really hear what was said, just rembering that Jiang Shiyi called him a fool. The next day, when he woke up, he went to settle the account, "Bro, did you insult last night?"
"Insult you?"
"You called a fool."
"That wasn’t an insult, just stating a fact."
He actually didn’t deny it, how arrogant.
However, Jiang Chengsi didn’t have ti to argue with him; after a quick breakfast, he tidied up and headed to the Jiang Mansion...

The night before Jiang Yanting’s wedding, Fan Mingyu was too excited to sleep and got up before dawn to get ready, afraid that sothing might go wrong.
Tang Wan made so Cyan Feather accessories for Shen Zhixian and went early in the morning to keep an eye on the makeup artist. Shen Shuci, as bridesmaid, was also at the Xie Family early, changing clothes, applying makeup, doing her hair - the whole bedroom was a bustle of activity.
"Aunt, please have sothing to eat," Xie Tongtong brought so sweet porridge over.
"Let Wanwan and Shuci eat first, I’m not hungry." Shen Zhixian had been nervous since the night before and had barely eaten anything.
"Okay." Xie Tongtong nodded. "Oh, my brother asked to confirm with you, is the one coming to pick up the bride your uncle, Qi Zeyan?"
"It should be," Shen Zhixian nodded.
Tang Wan leaned on Shen Shuci’s arm, "Xie Gongzi must be worried about Brother Huo coming."
"What do you an?" Shen Shuci was adjusting her bridesmaid dress.
"If Brother Huo cos to pick up the bride, he might barge in; who could stop him? He might turn the bridal pickup into a bridal snatch."
Shen Shuci pursed her lips, a bridal snatch?
Thinking of that previous domineering kiss, she felt her ears warming. He probably wouldn’t hesitate to do anything.
...
As soon as Xie Tongtong went out, she imdiately told Xie Duo.
"Huo isn’t coming today?" Xie Duo had changed into a suit, adjusting his tie.
"He shouldn’t be."
"Alright, go and do what you need to. If your aunt needs anything, let know," Xie Duo said, feeling relieved that a certain person wasn’t serving as a groomsman.
**
Over at the Jiang Mansion, it was bustling with the preparation to head to the Xie Family to pick up the bride.
Jiang Jinsang and his brothers weren’t groomsn; going to the Xie Family was simply to add to the crowd and join in the fun. But it was rare for them to be so united outwardly; the grandmother looked at her grandsons with pride and comfort in her heart.
Many relatives and friends were praising the Jiang brothers, and the grandmother felt blessed.
Before leaving, looking at the four of them, she wanted to give so advice, but perhaps being too excited, she didn’t know what to say, eventually just cautioning:
"Chengsi, when you get to the Xie Family, be careful, and listen to your older brothers and Xiaowu."
Jiang Chengsi: "..."
What the hell did I do? I’ve dressed the part as you commanded, so why are you still so distrusting?
Could it be that in your eyes, I’m such an inconsiderate person?
Listening to his brothers, he understood, but why did he, being a fourth brother, still have to listen to Jiang Xiaowu, that brat?
"Alright, don’t delay; let’s set off," Fan Mingyu adjusted Jiang Yanting’s clothes a bit more.
"Is Old Huo really not able to make it back?" Qi Zeyan was surprised, "To miss such an important day, what a pity..."
They all knew that Xie Duo didn’t want Huo Qinqi to be a groomsman, but everyone was just looking forward to the show, wondering how Xie Duo would handle it if he really showed up...
Such a sha the main character wasn’t there!
