No wonder Grandpa had that attitude towards Huo Qinqi, it seemed both his daughters were whisked away right under his nose.

”Right, I didn’t ask in detail about Shuci yesterday. The boyfriend she’s with, he is that very tall guy I’ve seen, the one who frequently visited you in the hospital, right?” Tang Yunxian hadn’t spoken much to Huo Qinqi, but his impression was of a...

Silent giant!

”Yes, that’s him.”

”How is he?”

”Pretty good.” Since he was a friend of his own, Tang Yunxian, not being foolish, wouldn’t step on him. If your friend is that terrible, why would you associate with him? He couldn’t afford to ruin a budding relationship.

”Shuci’s pretty secretive too.” Tang Yunxian tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, his smile ambiguous.

Indeed, Tang Yunxian had been snubbed by his father-in-law because of Huo Qinqi; he couldn’t have a good opinion of him.

...

At the hotel, everyone had finished packing up, just waiting for Jiang Jinsang to return so they could go to the Tang Family together.

Jiang Chengsi even teasingly said, ”Mr. Tang still has quite an animosity toward Xiaowu. I feel like this marriage proposal might be tricky for Xiaowu; it’s too bad Uncle Zhou couldn’t come. If both fathers-in-law were here, that’d really be lively.”

Fan Mingyu, seeing that he hadn’t returned for a while, made a call to hurry him along, only to be told he was with Tang Yunxian.

Zhou Zhongqing was in Beijing at the time, he had entrusted the task of giving Jiang Jinsang a hard time entirely to Tang Yunxian, expecting him to really give the young man a makeover...

But what they didn’t expect was that their relationship had warmed significantly due to the morning’s incident at the cemetery. The marriage proposal went smoothly, with congeniality all around.

Since it was a day for celebration, drinking was inevitable. Mr. Tang brought out his treasured vintage. Tang Yunxian was in high spirits today and intended to get Jiang Jinsang thoroughly drunk. However, Tang Wan suddenly felt unwell in her stomach, and Jiang Jinsang needed to take care of her, so he was hesitant to let him drink too much.

In the end, the task of drinking on his behalf inexplicably fell on Jiang Chengsi.

”Why me?” Jiang Chengsi was baffled.

There were two older brothers above him; why push him out?

At times like these, shouldn’t the older brothers take the lead? But in their family, everything seemed to change.

Jiang Yanting looked at him, ”Otherwise, what are you here for?”

”It’s time for you to play your part,” Jiang Shiyi said without mercy, pushing him forward.

In the end, Jiang Chengsi ended up drinking with Tang Yunxian until both were utterly inebriated. Having drunk too much to return to the hotel, he spent the night at the Tang family’s old house and nearly took a spill in the night due to unfamiliar surroundings.

The commotion disturbed the Hua Mei bird in the courtyard.

He didn’t know what nonsense he was thinking, actually staggering to the front courtyard, deep in the night, where he had an ”all-night long talk” with a bird. The next day, he was found sleeping in the yard.

Jiang Jinsang, because of Tang Wan’s baby, got out of a tough spot and even contemplated that this little one could be considered his lucky star.

But whether it was good fortune or a misfortune, only after the child was born would they know.
