Chapter 363: 237 Qi Duidui would rather break than bend; the premature death of Jiang Family’s eldest grandson (3 more updates)_2 Ruan Mengxi and Assistant Xiaozhu had already arrived at the Qi Family’s place, ready to take him to the company, both quietly not uttering a word.

Having frequented the Qi Family gatherings, Ruan Mengxi came to recognize everyone there. She was beautiful, and even more so when she smiled, and her work was diligent, which left the Qi Family with a generally good impression of her.

”Zeyan,” the old man suddenly hesitated, which made Qi Zeyan quite surprised.

”Grandpa, what are you trying to say? Just say it.”

”You don’t like the blind dates I arrange for you, is it because you like men?”

”Cough—” Qi Zeyan choked on a bite of a bun he was eating, turning his face bright red.

Ruan Mengxi also felt a chill down her spine.

Could it be because Tang Xiaowan finally chose Xiaowu, who was also his good friend, causing the boss to be heartbroken to the point of distorting his sexual orientation?

”What are you getting excited about!” The old man helplessly passed him some water and patted his back.

”How can I not be excited? Can you stop talking nonsense? How did I just...” Qi Zeyan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

”You’re always with Jiang Chengsi; can I not worry? Outsiders may not know, but I clearly understand, that child...”

Jiang Chengsi once brought a man home, something others might not know, but since the Qi Family and the Jiang Family were close, it was impossible to hide.

”Don’t talk nonsense, he’s perfectly normal.” Qi Zeyan was frustrated. What kind of trouble was this? Simply being seen going out with a man seemed to be a problem in his eyes?

”I didn’t say he wasn’t normal, what’s wrong with liking men? I’m not an old fogey stuck in the past. If you...” the old man gave a soft cough, ”just tell me sooner.”

”I don’t!” Qi Zeyan was flustered.

”There, no need then. Look at your temper! No need to shout so loud; are you trying to scare me to death? I’m not deaf.”

”...”

Ruan Mengxi bit her lip. It was fortunate he didn’t like men. Otherwise...

Competing with another man for a man, honestly, with the way some guys flirt these days, she couldn’t even compete; it was terrifying!

On his way to the company, Qi Zeyan even called Jiang Chengsi to complain, ”Staying with you has made our old man think I like men. Has the old man gone mad!”

Jiang Chengsi was still sleeping at the time and was annoyed to be woken up, he just asked quietly, ”So, do you like it?”

”I... definitely not, I’d rather break than bend, don’t you get it!”

Qi Zeyan hadn’t even finished venting when the call was ruthlessly hung up.

...

After being woken up, Jiang Chengsi couldn’t go back to sleep, so he washed up and went downstairs. It was rare to see Jiang Zhaolin still at home at this time. Without greeting his father, he went straight to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water.

”Not even a greeting! Who taught you those manners!” Jiang Zhaolin’s eyes were sharp.

They looked at each other, none too pleased.

Whatever Jiang Chengsi did, his father disagreed with it.

”Look at what you’re wearing! Can’t you dress more appropriately? Did you see the news today? Going out drinking with Qi Zeyan? You’re not getting any younger, can’t you find something serious to do...”

”Using me as a vent for your bad mood?” Jiang Chengsi sneered, lifting his eyelids defiantly to look at his father, his demeanor somehow provocative, ”Are you nervous because you know Xiaowu is coming back tomorrow, and we’re going to eat there?”

”What do I have to be nervous about?” Jiang Zhaolin snorted softly.

”You know exactly what to be nervous about. Don’t think those things you do are flawless. Justice reveals the truth, retribution is certain—”

His words were mocking and even cursing his misfortune. Jiang Zhaolin, infuriated, picked up chopsticks and threw them at Jiang Chengsi, ”Jiang Chengsi!”

Chopsticks didn’t even touch the hem of his clothes, Jiang Chengsi just leaned against the kitchen door and smiled lightly at him, ”Why don’t you just kill me and be done with it? After all, in your eyes, a useless son might as well be dead, right...”

His words instantly struck a nerve, and Jiang Zhaolin slammed the table in anger, ”Get out—”

”What’s all this noise early in the morning?” Jiang Chengsi’s mother came out from the room, ”What’s with the throwing of chopsticks?”

”You ask him, ungrateful son!”
