Chapter 961: Chapter 573: Offering Myself? Caught Up in the ss Myself (Part 2)
After the two entered a room, Tang Yunxian tightly pressed his lips together, watching him without speaking for a long ti. His usually refined face had a rare hint of seriousness, making Jiang Jinsang even more nervous.
He repeatedly reviewed the recent events in his mind, thinking he shouldn’t have offended him.
“Xiaowu…” He spoke with a low and serious tone.
Jiang Jinsang nodded in response, but his heart grew more uneasy, not understanding what was going on with him.
“Actually, there’s sothing I want to ask you to do.”
“Ask ?” Jiang Jinsang raised an eyebrow, “We’re family. Just say what you need, no need to be so formal.”
“I’ve discussed it with your grandfather; after all, this isn’t Pingjiang, and we don’t have many relatives here. It’s hard to say how many will show up. The Huo Family will certainly take this seriously, so we can’t look shabby on our side either.”
Tang Yunxian cleared his throat, “We’re unfamiliar with Beijing, and although the Huo Family promised to handle everything, we can’t let them do all the work by themselves…”
“There will probably be a lot of things later that will need your help.”
Jiang Jinsang was smart enough to guess what he ant after the first sentence, “I understand, if I can help, I surely will.”
“But you still have to take care of Wanwan, and you might have a tough few months ahead.”
Tang Yunxian had no choice. He originally thought, since Shen Shuci and Huo Qinqi had already notified the elders after getting married and registered, Jiang Jinsang slyly managed to get his daughter onto their household registration quietly.
He had been holding a grudge recently, not wanting to deal with this brat at all.
But Old Shen asked him to talk to Jiang Jinsang about the follow-up tasks that needed his help, and even though the person in front of him was his son-in-law, he had to speak politely since he needed a favor.
He felt utterly frustrated inside.
Tang Yunxian had to visit the Huo Family, so he didn’t stay long, spoke a few words to Tang Wan, and after he left, Jiang Chengsi jokingly said, “Jiang Xiaowu, got into trouble with your father-in-law? Did you do sothing to offend people again recently?”
In his mind, Jiang Jinsang was always in need of so discipline.
“What did my dad say to you?” Tang Wan was curious too.
“Not much, just hoped that I could help more when little aunt is preparing for her wedding.”
“What should we do? Can we handle the door?” Jiang Chengsi got excited at this, not behaving like a patient at all.
“Should be okay.”
Jiang Jinsang rubbed his fingers; he suddenly thought of his own wedding when everyone was waiting for her, only for soone to “betray and join the enemy camp.”
Truly, what goes around cos around.
…
Jiang Chengsi took his dicine, and as drowsiness set in, he snuggled into the guest room to rest. He even sent a ssage to Qi Zeyan about Shen Shuci’s wedding.
[I’ve been eager for this for a long ti, I just hope they get married soon.] Qi Zeyan had long been anticipating the drama.
But Jiang Chengsi’s words were often unreliable, so Qi Zeyan specially ssaged Jiang Jinsang to verify the truth.
After receiving a confird response, he hadn’t been happy for more than a few minutes when that devil asked a piercing question:
[What if Old Huo invites you to be a groomsman at his wedding? Can you refuse?]
As Huo Qinqi had few friends in Beijing, and the Jiang brothers couldn’t be the groomsn, Qi Zeyan seed to be the first choice.
After all, the role of the groomsman is to help the groom solve problems.
So wouldn’t that an he’d have to face this notorious Jiang Family crew too?
Damn!
He suddenly felt like he was eating popcorn only for his own house to collapse.
[Can I refuse him? I’ve heard that being a groomsman too many tis might prevent you from getting married.]
[You likely wouldn’t get married anyway.]
[Get lost——]
…
Ruan ngxi was sitting nearby, watching her boss holding his phone. Initially, he was quite happy, but within a few minutes, he seed as wilted as a frost-bitten eggplant, his head drooping in dejection.
Jiang Jinsang glared at his phone for a few seconds and couldn’t help but smile.
Thinking you can just watch the drama from the sidelines – as if such a good thing could happen.
As expected, what you’re afraid of cos to you. anwhile, at the Huo Family, they were already discussing the wedding. They act swiftly, and Liang Yun was already asking Huo Qinqi about how many groomsn to invite so that Shen Shuci could prepare early.
Huo Qinqi had quite a few friends, but many were tied up at the base and couldn’t attend. In Beijing, the Jiang brothers were unreliable, leaving only Qi Zeyan.
Qi Zeyan was feeling disheartened when he received a call from Huo Qinqi, feeling on the verge of a breakdown.
“Hey, Old Huo——” He tried to keep smiling, “Calling suddenly, is there sothing?”
“Yes.” Huo Qinqi was direct as always.
“I’m not mobile right now, so if you need anything, please ask soone else.”
“Only you will do.”
“I’m a bit tied up myself. I’ll just…”
“I’m getting married, and you’re the groomsman.”
“I might not have the ti, you see, I’m usually quite busy.”
“You’re okay being the groomsman for Yanting and Xiaowu, but not for , is that it?”
…
“I overestimated our friendship, then.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Zeyan frowned, why did this man sound so pitiful?
“It’s not like that, Old Huo, I don’t an that…”
“So will you attend my wedding?”
“Of course, what kind of friendship do we have? Even if my legs don’t work, I’ll crawl there.”
“Since you’ll be there, you’ll be my groomsman.”
“Why must it be ?”
“I consider you a brother, naturally hoping you witness my happiest mont.”
Witness your happiness? What about my happiness?
He hung up after speaking, leaving Qi Zeyan dumbfounded. So forceful and dominant? Did I agree to this?
While he had eagerly anticipated their wedding, he now felt dumbfounded – What does this have to do with ? Why drag into this? Knowing Huo Qinqi’s ways, if sothing happens, he’d throw under the bus for sure.
He even searched soone to vent to, only to be told that the only way to avoid being a groomsman is to get married and have a bride before Huo Qinqi’s wedding.
Qi Zeyan felt dizzy – where could he find a bride willing to marry him on such short notice?

Speaking of over at Guantang Villa,
Jiang Chengsi lay in bed, pondering how to apologize to “Miss Xiao”. Accidentally grabbing her would be forgivable, but holding her hand for over ten minutes, he needed to give her an explanation.
He carefully chose his words, hesitating for a long ti, before editing a ssage on his phone.
[Miss Xiao, this is Jiang Chengsi, sorry for bothering you, I wanted to apologize for today’s incident. I was sick at the ti, a bit disoriented, and mistook you for my brother. I’m really sorry. If it’s convenient, I’d like to treat you to a al as an apology. I would feel really guilty otherwise, and hope you’ll graciously accept.]
He spoke sincerely, even double-checking the punctuation before sending it out.
Yet there was no reply for a long ti, and the dicine took effect, causing him to drift off to sleep.
In his dreams, he found himself holding a girl’s hand again, refusing to let go.
“Let go——”
“No.”
“You’re such a rascal.”
“I’m being one, so what!”
Until he nearly brought the girl to tears, then sohow, the scene shifted to him running, being chased by a group proclaiming to catch the rascal. He charged into a room that was quite empty, only for “Miss Xiao” to reappear…
“Why are you here?”
She looked equally puzzled, “This is my ho.”
Her ho? Jiang Chengsi wanted to escape the way he ca, only to find out the doors and windows were sealed shut, leaving no escape route.
