Chapter 583: 372 Bringing the wolf into the house: It is very easy for me to have ill intentions towards you.Jiang Jinsang was still pondering the oddities of the whole affair when the sound of a car approached from outside. He walked to the window to take a look, ”It’s a workday, Zeyan isn’t at the office, how does he have the time to come over?”

”Let’s go see and we’ll know,” Jiang Yanting said as he got up and walked outside.

Before leaving, he specifically reminded him again, ”Xiaowu, whatever Old Huo does, he definitely has his reasons. He has always been very measured in his actions, he wouldn’t act rashly. Even if there’s something that seems illogical, there must be his reasons behind it.”

”Don’t get involved, you’re not alone now. If you get mixed up in something bad, it could implicate your younger siblings.”

Jiansang smiled, ”I know.”

If he hadn’t considered this, he would have had people watching the Huo Family last night.

As the two descended the stairs, Qi Zeyan was presenting several wax-sealed invitation letters to the old lady, ”...There’s an upcoming touring exhibition. This master has shown in China before, but it’s his first time in Beijing. I thought you might like it, so I specially got a few invitations.”

The old lady looked at the invitation letter for a few moments, ”It’s thoughtful of you to remember me, much appreciated.”

”Sister-in-law should be even more interested. If you’re free that day, you could go together with Xiaowu,” Qi Zeyan said with a smile, looking towards Tang Wan.

Tang Wan took an invitation letter and glanced at it, ”Thank you. Are you the organizer? I heard the tickets are almost sold out, where did you get so many?”

”The organizers have a partnership with me. The tickets sold out online, but actually, there are still some left, they kept them to give away. I’m not really interested in these sorts of things. Besides, I probably won’t have time when the time comes. I’m just ’offering someone else’s flowers.’”

Qi Zeyan glanced at Jiang Jinsang and the others coming down and raised his hand to greet them.

”I went to listen to an opera a few days ago and heard about this exhibition. I didn’t expect you to bring the invitation to me. You’ve always been considerate since you were a child,” the old lady praised him for a while, then went to tend to her plants...

When only Jiang Jinsang and the others remained in the living room, Qi Zeyan appeared to ask casually, ”Sister-in-law, I heard Miss Shen had an accident yesterday?”

”A little mishap, how did you hear about it?” Tang Wan folded the invitation letter neatly and placed it back in the envelope.

”Beijing is only so big, there’s no wall without cracks. I’ve heard even Old Huo was involved, what exactly happened?”

Qi Zeyan pretended to be indifferent, but his heart was throbbing with excitement...

Before Tang Wan could speak, Jiang Jinsang laughed and said, ”You didn’t come today just to deliver the invitation, did you?”

Beijing has art exhibitions and concerts every now and then, it’s not unusual. The intent of the person coming over today is obviously not just about the wine.

”What do you mean by that?” Qi Zeyan took a sip of tea.

Does this kid have to be so sharp?

He just wanted to munch on some juicy gossip, but he couldn’t inquire about this matter from the Huo Family. He wasn’t familiar with Jiang Shiyi, so he could only come here to ask.

”Last time at my eldest brother’s place for dinner, I felt that you showed an extraordinary enthusiasm for Auntie’s matter.” Jiang Jinsang narrowed his eyes, ”Zeyan, are you hiding some secret?”

”Ha—” Qi Zeyan let out a light scoff, ”What secret could I possibly have? I was just casually asking.”

”Auntie is fine, Old Huo is fine too. You can rest easy.”

”...”

Qi Zeyan left the Jiang Family with a face full of indignation. Jiang Jinsang twisted his fingers, the doubt at the bottom of his heart magnifying.

Jiang Yanting then patted his shoulder and only said three words:

”Don’t get killed.”

Tang Wan looked puzzled, What happened again?

Meanwhile, at Left Bank Garden,

Shen Shuci was holding a tube of ointment in her hands, all brand new, never used. She bent her head to unwrap the packaging, her peripheral vision caught him taking off his wristwatch—this wasn’t like going to bathe, so why did he need to strip off his clothes so thoroughly?
