Chapter 667: 417 Wedding video reveals clues? Troubleso honeymoon (2 updates)_3
Regardless of career or personality, and despite being older, he was mature and steady, knew how to cater to her by serving tea and pouring water, and had sharp eyesight. Listening to the tone of Grandma Jiang, it seed she knew him well; the guy was genuinely not bad.
…
But after Jiang Jinsang ca back from washing an apple, and with Shen Shuci also there, the old lady didn’t continue her questioning.
With Huo Qinqi and Jiang Jinsang around, tasks like ordering als, buying food, or fetching water naturally fell to them. When it was just mother and daughter in the sickroom, the old lady smiled and said,
“Shuci, you see, a man is still needed in this family, don’t you think?”
Shen Shuci smiled without comnt, another subtle push towards marriage.
“That Xiaohuo is quite a nice guy.”
Shen Shuci pursed her lips:
Nice? He’s forced a kiss on her before, and even in public…
“Shuci, do you think there’s a possibility between you two? I think the young man is not bad, although he’s a bit older, that shouldn’t really matter. n tend to mature later, you know? At his age, he’s starting to know how to cherish soone, understand?”
Shen Shuci felt a throbbing headache.

Shen Zhixian was already preparing to leave with the child when she noticed Jiang Yanting still in his clothes, lost in a daze, “Yanting? Is sothing wrong?”
Jiang Yanting was a very reserved and calm person, rarely displaying his emotions, and certainly not prone to spacing out repeatedly like now.
“Daddy, hurry and change, we’re going to play on the beach.” Jiangjiang was in his beach shorts and vest, ready to go out.
“I’ll be right there.”
But indeed, Jiang Yanting was preoccupied, and even once on the beach, his enthusiasm was lacking.
Shen Zhixian couldn’t quite figure out what was troubling him so much. It couldn’t be company matters that had him this distracted.
Huo Qinqi and the auntie…
The more Jiang Yanting thought, the more his head ached. When exactly had they started eyeing each other? From the footage captured unintentionally in the video, it certainly didn’t seem like a recent developnt.
Although Huo Qinqi was soone who hid things well, they knew each other too well. A single abnormal behavior from him, and Jiang Yanting could sense sothing. Moreover, there were just too many telltale scenes in the video!
He found it hard to deceive even himself!
Take the wedding day, for instance. Qi Zeyan was originally set up to be paired with Shen Shuci, but then he chose another bridesmaid. Also, that incident with the bridesmaid dress trial where he had almost fled. And that ti Qi Zeyan ca to his house for dinner, ntioning Shen Shuci’s odd behaviors… With one thing adding to another, the suspicions only mounted.
Qi Zeyan must be in the know!
Thinking this, he dialed a call to Qi Zeyan.
At the mont the other was in the gym exercising when his phone rang and he switched off the treadmill, “Hello—Yanting, you’re on your honeymoon and not too busy to call ?”
“How much do you know about Old Huo’s situation?”
Direct and to the point.
Qi Zeyan was stunned, “Old, Old Huo? What are you talking about?”
“I’ll talk to you in detail when I get back. Then you’ll understand what I an!”
“…”
Qi Zeyan hung up the call, utterly confused. What was going on?
He was abroad, where had this wind of rumor co from? How much did he know? Did Jiang Xiaowu know? Should he flee the country?
As soon as Jiang Yanting heard his hesitant response, he guessed the truth. Clever Qi Zeyan, and there he was brooding, his temper flaring, when suddenly his face was doused with water.
“Ha-ha, Daddy, why didn’t you dodge!” Jiangjiang was wielding a water gun, sprinkling him liberally, a chilling surprise, “You promised to teach surfing. You have to keep your word.”
Indeed, the plan for the beach trip was for Jiang Yanting to teach Jiangjiang how to surf, but with the sudden issue of Huo Qinqi, where would he find the mood for that?
“Alright, Jiangjiang, Daddy’s busy with sothing.” Shen Zhixian could tell that Jiang Yanting was distressed about sothing but if he was unwilling to elaborate, she naturally wouldn’t ask further.
“I’m not busy anymore, you want to learn to surf, right? Let’s go, I’ll take you!” Jiang Yanting wiped the seawater from his face, salty from the water gun’s dousing.
Then, holding a kids’ surfboard in one hand and his son in the other, he headed towards the sea.
Taotao, with a shovel in hand, was building sandcastles nearby and saw her big brother climb onto the board only to be knocked back into the water repeatedly, fluttering countless tis, swallowing gulp after gulp of seawater.
Shen Zhixian couldn’t watch anymore.
“Yanting, are you teaching him to surf?”
“Like learning to swim, isn’t it inevitable that you fall in the water, swallow a few mouthfuls, before getting it right? A few extra flounders in the water and he’ll learn.”
Jiangjiang knew that any sport required repetitive practice, just like soccer, so even when he fell off, he showed great perseverance in continuing.
It was only during a break that he began to think maybe his dad was getting back at him.
He bought his sister a cup of orange juice, but his dad got him a cup of carrot juice.
“Daddy?”
“You just said your legs were cramping. Surely it’s because you’re picky with food; you eat too few carrots, need to replenish your nutrients.”
Jiang Yanting hadn’t yet reprimanded him for the red packet incident at the Xie Family’s doorstep; the boy even dared to squirt water at him. He really was getting bold.
Jiangjiang, looking at the carrot juice, was close to tears and hastily sought rescue from his mom.
Shen Zhixian wasn’t the type to indulge her children in everything, “What your dad said makes sense, eating carrots indeed helps with leg cramps.”
Jiangjiang sipped the carrot juice with a frown while Shen Zhixian quietly asked Jiang Yanting, “Really, nothing’s wrong?”
“Just a minor issue at the company, it’s already taken care of.”
Jiang Yanting hardly knew how to explain the whole affair to her, mainly because he wasn’t in Beijing. If he told Jiang Jinsang, who knew what that guy would do given his temperant? And the true extent of that pair’s relationship was still uncertain. It wouldn’t be appropriate to act rashly.
If there was really nothing between them, or no chance of any developnt, causing a scene would make future etings awkward.
After much deliberation, he decided to keep the matter under wraps for now, until he returned to Beijing to assess the situation.
If this were to blow up, not just the Jiang Family, the whole of Beijing would be in an uproar.
The two were practically a generation apart in age, but Old Huo really had guts!
