Capítulo 807: Chapter 489: Plotting Against Fifth Master? Leave You in One Piece (Third Update)
Ever since then, Qi Zeyan often “accidentally” ran into Ruan ngxi and received “lunches with love” as a token of her gratitude.
Without any social engagents, he usually had lunch at the company, almost always from the sa few restaurants, which he had long tired of. Ruan ngxi’s customized lunches were rich and varied, never monotonous.
He initially refused, but Ruan ngxi said that a private lesson was expensive, and a al was no big deal.
Qi Zeyan reconsidered and thought, it’s mutual; it’s not like he owed her anything, so he accepted without any guilt…
Little did he know, soone’s “Hunt Qi Plan” was unfolding step by step, waiting for the prey to fall into the trap.
The plan was to make him gradually familiar with her presence not only in work but also in life. Over ti, he would surely beco reliant on her.
So the third step of the Hunt Qi Plan: “Integrate into his life.”
…
Occasionally, Ruan ngxi would discuss her plan’s progress with Tang Wan, who was busy with wedding preparations and only listened half-heartedly. Until the wedding date approached, Fan Mingyu had the house tidied up and added many festive items.
Even the trees outside were planned to be decorated with red lanterns to add to the festivities.
Only then did Tang Wan notice that the “little love tree” she and Jiang Jinsang planted together had grown crooked.
She stood in front of the tree, stunned for a long ti…
How did it grow like this?
She had envisioned telling her future child that this was the tree planted with their father, but now…
What if the child asks, “Why is this tree so crooked?”
How should she answer?
“Why is this tree crooked?” Jiang Jinsang was also surprised when he ca over.
“What should we do?”
“Replant it because it’s crooked?”
“I shook it earlier, and it’s deeply rooted. I’m afraid replanting might not survive,” Tang Wan, who wasn’t good with plants, dared not move it recklessly, although it was crooked but at least still alive.
“Then let’s leave it as it is.” Jiang Jinsang was preoccupied with the wedding and didn’t care how crooked the tree was.
“I feel like being this crooked, would it be particularly easy to fall?”
Jiang Jinsang raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
Later, facts proved that this tree, having endured blazing sun, typhoons, harsh winters, and heavy snow, still stood strong and thrived.
…
As the wedding approached, Jiang Jinsang personally went to Pingjiang to pick up the Tang and Shen family elders. Although the Shen elder had strong opinions about Huo Qinqi, he couldn’t resist asking.
Finally making the trip to Beijing, he still hoped to see him.
“Xiaowu, will that boy co to the wedding?”
“That boy?” Jiang Jinsang frowned, “Do you an Brother Huo?”
Jiang Jinsang’s private address for Huo Qinqi was inconsequential, but he had to act properly in front of the elders. It was not possible to address him as Uncle yet.
The Shen elder didn’t deny it.
“He might not co. Should I call and check again?”
“Whatever, it’s better if he doesn’t co to avoid any annoyance.” The elder snorted coldly.
But when Jiang Jinsang pulled out his phone to make a call, the elder kept staring at him…
The call connected while soone was resting in the dormitory, with a stack of books on the bedside that he had previously gifted to Jiang Jinsang. Base life was dull, so he brought them to study carefully.
This puzzled his subordinates quite a bit.
Having only read military and political books before, he suddenly started studying romance guides? What next, would he start chasing romance novels?
“…I applied for leave, but it hasn’t been approved yet.” Huo Qinqi wished to return to Beijing more than Jiang Jinsang.
He and Shen Shuci were at a sweet stage in their relationship, a perfect ti to advance further. Besides, the thing he didn’t complete last ti still lingered in his mind…
“I really hope you can co.”
“I’ll try.” Huo Qinqi couldn’t give a definite answer. “Why did you suddenly think of calling ?”
Huo Qinqi’s job was special, and without special reasons, they rarely contacted each other.
Especially after his relationship with Shen Shuci was exposed, if Jiang Jinsang sought him out, there was usually sothing up. Was it just to ask if he would attend the wedding?
The Shen elder was listening nearby, knowing he had no choice, and was feeling emotional that his daughter would have to endure a long-distance relationship’s hardship by being with him.
Then he heard Jiang Jinsang say, “Grandfather misses you.”
Since he asked, naturally, he missed him. Jiang Jinsang’s answer was flawless.
The Shen elder: “…”
Huo Qinqi was montarily stunned, “I understand.”
The Shen elder indeed wanted to see Huo Qinqi because of his relationship with Shen Shuci. The statent from Jiang Jinsang, although blunt, revealed the truth, inevitably causing so frustration.
Even after Jiang Jinsang brought the people to Beijing, the elder kept snorting, not saying a word to Jiang Jinsang.
“Grandfather? What’s wrong?” Tang Wan, naturally concerned, found it strange that such a happy occasion as her wedding would make him sullen.
The elder grumbled, “Ask your husband!”
Tang Wan privately asked Jiang Jinsang, “Did you upset grandfather? He looks so unhappy.”
“Perhaps I hit a nerve, and he’s being a bit stubborn.”
Tang Wan recalled the ti when he went to eat at the Huo family’s place and understood.
The elder was waiting for Jiang Jinsang to “apologize,” just wanting to give himself a step down after holding up for so long. However, Jiang Jinsang didn’t co, and Tang Wan didn’t bother with him…
**
Before the wedding, guests who could attend had mostly arrived, and Tang Wan moved into the hotel with the Tang family.
They had no house in Beijing, and it was out of the question for her to leave from the Jiang Family, so they chose the hotel. Besides, it’s said not to see each other before the wedding, leaving Jiang Jinsang waiting alone in an empty room every night before the wedding.
In the days leading up to the wedding, Jiang Yanting and his family of four also moved to the old house. Bored at night, Jiang Jinsang either teased Wansui or helped Jiangjiang with his howork.
Taotao was obedient and didn’t require much attention, but Jiangjiang was restless, always eager to play, which even troubled Shen Zhixian.
In the end, Jiang Jinsang resorted to the carrot warning.
Jiangjiang managed to finish his howork, thinking he could escape his mischievous uncle’s grasp.
“Finished your howork so easily, do you not want to spend ti with ?” Jiang Jinsang smiled at him; children are naturally playful.
“No, I really like Uncle.” Jiangjiang had a strong survival instinct.
“Your aunt isn’t around; since you like so much, why don’t I stay with you tonight?”
“…”
Jiang Jinsang naturally had to get his elder brother and sister-in-law’s permission to let him sleep over.
Jiang Yanting couldn’t wait for soone to manage this kid, so when Jiangjiang sent him a distress signal, he only said, “I’ll bathe him and then send him over to you.”
Jiangjiang gritted his teeth:
Father’s villainous side reappeared.
However, before the wedding, the Jiang family considered Tang Wan being an only daughter with so relatives. They t during the engagent in Pingjiang and were not a threat.
During the engagent, it seed like Tang Wan’s senior was in charge, who was not coming this ti. Everyone speculated that the wedding procession would be relatively smooth compared to Jiang Yanting’s, with only so bridesmaid trouble at worst.
“When it cos to wedding processions, as a brother, I should step up without hesitation. I’ll do it,” Qi Zeyan wanted to showcase the results of his fitness.
“Are you sure?” Jiang Jinsang looked at him.
“I can handle it alone; you just watch from the side,” soone confidently patted his chest, full of assurance.
“We’ll just watch then?” Jiang Yanting chuckled.
“Just wait and see.”
…
At this mont, Tang Wan had just received her master and so fellow disciples, gathered at a full table, creating quite a lively scene…
All were frank and straightforward, making it rare for everyone to co together. Having never seen Jiang Jinsang, they were ready to give this unassuming boy a hard ti for marrying their junior sister.
“Junior sister, you won’t tip him off, will you?” a few of them laughed.
“I won’t.” Tang Wan shook her head.
Wedding processions are about the fun. If everything is pre-planned, there’s no point.
The mastermind was Xi Fangli’s son, who was also Tang Wan’s senior brother. The whole family ca this ti, and his son, after a good al and drink, clung to Tang Wan and fell asleep.
“Senior brother, you should be cautious with the wedding procession too.”
“No worries, we’ll still leave him in one piece.”
“…”
While over on Jiang Jinsang’s side, with Qi Zeyan’s confident guarantee,
no wedding procession plans were made. If a big figure showed up, they’d just throw Qi Zeyan out to handle it.
