Chapter 876: Chapter 529: Reunion of Old Friends, Fifth Master’s Dazzling Moves (Part 3)”That’s quite a coincidence,” Tang Wan said with a smile.

It’s not that she thought the worst of people, but in this world, how many true coincidences could there be? Too many coincidences are things you see in novels and TV shows; in reality, coincidences are more often than not...

Orchestrated with long-standing intent.

”Running into someone you know, you don’t seem very excited.” Tang Wan looked at Shen Shuci.

She simply smiled, ”Back then, we were very young; there’s a lot I can’t remember clearly. I remember her name and have an impression of her. We were all just kids; to say we had deep feelings for each other wouldn’t be accurate.”

Tang Wan nodded.

...

Meanwhile, inside the hospital room, a few people surrounded Jiang Jinsang, subjecting him to a ”severe interrogation.” ”Jiang Xiaowu, what’s going on with you? Where on earth did you go?”

”Exactly, why did you have to use my name?” Jiang Chengsi lowered his voice, ”Lying to my sister-in-law, it makes me feel like a thief.”

”You don’t know how scared I was,” Qi Zeyan frowned.

Jiang Jinsang looked at the two curiously, ”What exactly did you two do?”

”We were covering for you, weren’t we? Back in school, didn’t we often do that?” Qi Zeyan lied instinctively, feeling the need to protect his buddy.

”I didn’t need you to cover for me.”

Jiang Jinsang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, wondering where he got to know this bunch of idiots.

”You don’t need us to cover for you, but if you’re out sneaking around, don’t use our names as a front.” Qi Zeyan was exasperated, feeling his good intentions weren’t appreciated, ”From now on, don’t ask me to cover for you.”

”Back in school, wasn’t it you who sneaked off to the game arcade or internet café, using the excuse of visiting me in the hospital and asked me to cover for you?” A blow straight to the heart.

Qi Zeyan was so mad he nearly kicked him, ”Old Huo, did you hear that? Is he even speaking like a human being?”

Huo Qinqi glanced at the three of them and said simply:

”Not quite human, but it’s the truth.”

”...”

The two elders of the Shen Family sat not far away, watching the group bicker, without joining in.

If Jiang Jinsang really had a guilty conscience, he wouldn’t be so open about it, but the two were curious about what he had been up to.

At this moment, Qi Zeyan’s phone rang. He answered it in frustration, listened for half a minute, and then looked at Jiang Jinsang with a perplexed expression.

”You went out to look at houses?”

The Shen Family elders suddenly realized, remembering that they had asked Jiang Jinsang to help look for a house. They had forgotten about it since the old lady was hospitalized just after they returned to Beijing.

Looking at houses?

Jiang Chengsi was also surprised, considering this guy already had so many properties—why buy more?

”Buying a house is nothing to hide; are you planning to keep a mistress in a golden house!”

Just as Qi Zeyan finished speaking, the door opened, and Tang Wan and Shen Shuci returned, clearly having heard what he said.

Tang Wan looked at Jiang Jinsang with surprise, as they had no plans of buying a house anytime soon.

Jiang Jinsang looked up at the not-far-away Shen Family elders.

The Shen Family elders, who were previously just there for the spectacle, curious about what the boy was up to with his secret activities and deliberate fibs, suddenly found themselves at the center of attention...

It turned out they were the culprits. Shen Lao cleared his throat, seemingly not wanting Jiang Jinsang to reveal their plan to settle in Beijing.

Receiving the signal, Jiang Jinsang curved his lips slightly and changed his tune, ”I’m buying it as a wedding house for the kid, is that not allowed?”

Everyone: ”...”

Xiaowai tree: ...

Your kid isn’t even born yet, and you’re already planning a wedding house?

Tang Wan, however, had another thought sprouting in her mind:

For the child? Why prepare something like that so early? What is Fifth Brother planning? Is something wrong with his health...
