Capítulo 888: Chapter 537: Jiang Xiaosi’s “Crooked Seedling” Theory and Recruiting a Live-in Son-in-law (3rd Update)
The Shen Family elders returned to the country to settle down, and the business of buying a house was exposed. They didn’t do it secretly and had Jiang Jinsang help them contact a lawyer. They planned to discuss property division with the lawyer once the old lady was discharged from the hospital.
This matter has generated countless rumors in the hospital, and even Jiang Chengsi has heard quite a bit.
He went to Tang Wan’s studio to look at the screens and specifically brought up this matter with her.
“…I heard you had a fight with your aunt over this?”
“How could it be? Don’t listen to their nonsense.” Tang Wan led Jiang Chengsi to a workroom where he had ordered four custom screens, already in the production process.
He was just too picky. Tang Wan was worried that once they were done, he might be too fussy and dissatisfied.
Rather than redoing it later, she simply called him over during production to resolve any issues quickly.
Jiang Chengsi leaned on the screen and examined it carefully, “Is this colored with goose feathers, Cyan Feather? How can the colors be blended so elegantly?”
“If there’s a problem, just say it promptly.”
After observing for quite a while, he finally smiled and said, “It’s pretty good.”
Tang Wan breathed a sigh of relief, “Co to my office for a cup of tea before you go.”
Being family, Jiang Chengsi was not uncomfortable with her and entered her office. Seeing her with a pregnant belly, he took tea leaves from the cabinet and imdiately reached out to help her.
“You sit down. I can make the tea myself. If Grandma finds out you’re serving tea, she’s sure to break my legs.”
“You do it yourself then.” Tang Wan didn’t stand on ceremony with him.
While Jiang Chengsi was preparing the tea, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a design draft for a screen on her desk. He leaned over to take a closer look, “Is this…”
“It’s a custom order from a client. I’m revising the design.”
“It’s quite beautiful. Your client has good taste, comparable to mine.”
Tang Wan pursed her lips:
It’s not just their taste that’s comparable; their pickiness is also equally matched.
“You’ve t this client in Pingjiang, with the surna ‘Xiao.’ Do you rember? We even had a al together.”
Jiang Chengsi nodded, the one with a great figure and good looks, wearing a qipao with a lot of style.
But wearing such clothes ans having to maintain proper posture and deanor. Otherwise, it ruins the outfit, completely different from his carefree manner, where even wearing a suit feels constraining.
“Are you making a screen for her too?” Jiang Chengsi inquired.
“No, she’s not in a hurry for it. I’m just drawing sketches to pass the ti.”
Jiang Chengsi handed her the prepared tea. They sat down and casually chatted. Since Jiang Chengsi ran a bar club, he was well-inford and practically knew all the gossip in Beijing.
He even knew if soone’s dog bit a person.
When Jiang Jinsang ca to the studio to pick up Tang Wan from work, he discovered soone animatedly sharing the latest gossip with his wife…
“…He deserved it. With how wild he’s been, sothing was bound to happen eventually. Now, look, a girl is accusing him of rape, constantly hosting parties with a bunch of young models and influencers, and engaging in group activities. Finally, sothing happened.”
Jiang Chengsi’s tone was disdainful, clearly looking down on the other party.
“How co I haven’t heard about this? I haven’t seen anything online.” Tang Wan said while sipping tea and grabbing snacks from a drawer, listening with interest.
“The news just broke out and was quickly suppressed. Now the whole You Family is going crazy.”
“What about the girl? What’s the situation now?”
“She went to the police, so she’s under their protection. There shouldn’t be any issues, but so ti has passed since this happened, and it seems the evidence she provided wasn’t sufficient. You Shenming even claid he didn’t know her.” Jiang Chengsi clicked his tongue.
“The You Family has already bought off quite a few people, all claiming the girl and You Shenming didn’t know each other at all, calling it slander.”
“Anyway, this whole thing is causing quite a stir in the circle.”
Tang Wan nibbled on a strawberry candy, “Why did the girl only co forward now after all this ti?”
“Rumor has it You Shenming just wanted to have fun with her. The girl took it seriously and wanted to marry into the You Family. Anyway, after things fell apart, she bit back at him. The You Family now wants to resolve this with money, but apparently, the girl asked for too much, so they couldn’t agree on a price.”
“Now the You Family doesn’t want to settle privately but plans to spend a little money to appease those in the know and then sue her for slander.”
“They’re not good people on either side. We’re just here to enjoy the show.”
…
Ordinarily, Jiang Chengsi wouldn’t pay attention to such trivial matters. It was just that You Shenming caused trouble in his club before, so he paid extra attention to matters concerning him.
Unexpectedly, after their last encounter at the hospital where he ntioned You Shenming was due for trouble, karma ca quicker than expected.
