“Uncle, you’re doing it wrong, you think it’s for the kids’ good, but we want to decide our own lives too, kids today have their own ideas, if you enforce your thoughts on them, they’ll definitely resist.”

“You don’t spend much time at home, to them, you don’t usually care, yet at major decisions like career choices, you want to step in, who are you to do that?”

“You have to be particular about the way you do it…”

In a blink, it turned into an educational seminar, with the big shots attentively listening to Jiang Chengsi’s “lecture,” especially focusing intently.

A novice teaching a group of experts, the scene was really…

Shen Shuci had a terrible headache, she could never have imagined two hours ago that things would turn out this way.

Finally, Huo Zheng stepped in to have the Huo Family escort everyone back to their rooms.

By this time, the Jiang Family had all left, so the Huo Family had to call Jiang Shiyi, asking if he was home, saying they needed to send Jiang Chengsi back…

The response from Jiang Shiyi was: “I’m not home.”

“Then what about Fourth Master?”

“You figure it out.”

“…”

Is that really something a good brother would say?

After hanging up the phone, the driver in front glanced back at the person seated behind him, “Sir, we’ve arrived at the destination.”

He had also drunk a bit tonight and had hired a driver.

“Thank you.” After paying, Jiang Shiyi leaned back in the seat, hand resting on his forehead, feeling dizzy.

As the driver got out, he took his folding bike from the trunk, looked around, puzzled why someone would ask to be driven to such a place.

A Testing Center!

It was already past nine at night, only two laboratories in the office building at a distance had their lights on, but such places always gave off a cold, impersonal vibe, with only some landscaping and no people around.

After the driver left on his bike, the world seemed to quiet down, Jiang Shiyi turned to look at the testing center, recalling the lively buzz during Huo Qinqi’s engagement today, and with everyone gone, his heart felt empty…

He wanted to see her.

Guantang Villa

Tonight, Ruan Mengxi stayed over at Tang Wan’s house, so Jiang Jinsang and Lord Wansui were both kicked out of the master bedroom, and they could occasionally hear the laughter of the two women next door, while Jiang Jinsang poked Lord Wansui’s shell with a small stick, feeling a vague sense of loss.

“…what exactly did you give Aunt?” Tang Wan lowered her voice.

“I just thought that both she and Lord Huo are those cool and aloof types, even if they drove, things wouldn’t be anything flashy,” Ruan Mengxi chuckled, “so I specifically went online to buy them some exciting goodies.”

“Always playing with the same few things, they’ll get bored.”

Tang Wan coughed slightly, presumably guessing something, “Do you think they’ll use those things?”

“It’s hard to say, some say the more aloof one’s exterior is, the more they are secretly enthusiastic, maybe they’ll enjoy it a lot,” Ruan Mengxi shrugged, snuggling closer to Tang Wan, “and I included instruction manuals.”

“I never knew that such things could be bought online, it’s really true that there’s nothing you can’t find on TaoBao.”

…

At this moment, Shen Shuci had returned to her room, Liang Yun had pulled her aside to talk about something, and Huo Qinqi, having drunk a lot, went back to the room early.

When she swiped the card and entered, she saw the bed full of stuff, while Huo Qinqi was holding some pages, with something like cat ears in his hand, seemingly studying how to use them…

Shen Shuci’s mind went blank!

She knew it, Ruan Mengxi definitely wouldn’t send anything conventional.
