Chapter 1098: Chapter 647: Fourth Master Holds Grudges—A So-Called “Old Spot” Date? (Second Update)Jiang Mansion

Tang Wan was painting a portrait of her son. She was very good at drawing jewelry, flowers, birds, insects, and fish, but her skills in portraits were a bit lacking. No matter how she tried, she could never capture the feeling she wanted.

Her phone buzzed with a message from Ruan Mengxi, which included a photo full of local specialties, all bought for her.

There were also some special small toys, which she said outright were for her godson.

[You still have time for shopping. It seems like Zeyan is getting along well with your uncle.] Tang Wan replied with a smile.

[Not just well, believe it or not, he has been playing cards with my parents for an hour now.]

[What happened?]

[How would I know? And he’s even wearing my dad’s clothes now.]

[...]

Tang Wan was dumbfounded, unable to understand how their relationship had developed to this point. Uncle Ruan should theoretically dislike Qi Zeyan.

Jiang Jinsang was discussing the one-month-old celebration with his family. He didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, but with the commotion caused by the little one’s birth, it was impossible to keep a low profile.

Throwing a grand banquet meant investing more manpower and resources. Recently, the entire Jiang family had been busy with this matter.

Around ten at night, Jiang Jinsang returned to the room to find Tang Wan still playing with her phone.

”Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

”Waiting for you.” During her confinement, apart from eating and drinking, Tang Wan mostly slept. After napping during the day, she had no desire to sleep at night. ”How’s the preparation for the one-month-old celebration going?”

”Pretty smoothly. I’m going to the hotel tomorrow to check things out. I’ll go with dad to taste the dishes and finalize the banquet’s menu and drinks.”

Lately, Jiang Jinsang’s relationship with Tang Yunxian had improved, possibly because of the birth of the child. Tang Yunxian’s attitude towards him was much better because of the little grandson.

”Stop playing with your phone and get some rest.”

”I’ll talk with Xixi for a bit, then go to sleep.”

”How are things between her and Zeyan?” Jiang Jinsang inquired.

”I honestly don’t know about the two of them, but it seems his relationship with uncle has improved a bit. They went out to have fun during the day and played cards at the hotel at night. I heard he even won over two hundred yuan from uncle.”

”...”

Jiang Jinsang smirked:

Their daughter hasn’t even married over yet, and he dares to win money from his father-in-law at cards? Truly, Qi Zeyan is something else.

...

Jiang Jinsang had two fathers-in-law and naturally tried to please them, although not everyone fell for that. Ruan Daqiang was straightforward; when it came to playing cards, you had to take it seriously. Always letting him win on purpose just wouldn’t be fun.

After a round of cards, he felt that Qi Zeyan seemed like a genuine person.

However, he had plenty of work to do and couldn’t stay long, so he booked a flight back to Beijing for the next morning.

This further increased Ruan Daqiang’s goodwill towards him.

For a father, it’s not enough just to see if a man likes his daughter and can cherish her. He also has to see if the man is responsible, capable, ambitious, and capable of managing a family.

Chasing love is important, but if all you have is a lover’s brain and neglect work, it just won’t do.

Qi Zeyan didn’t spend much time with Ruan Mengxi during this visit, but he did end up sharing a room with Ruan Daqiang for two nights.

On the next morning, it was Ruan Daqiang himself who drove him to the airport.

”Uncle, when you come to Beijing, I’ll pick you up,” Qi Zeyan was still quite polite in his dealings with him.

”Go on, get through security.”

Ruan Daqiang was the type who had a hard mouth but a soft heart, waving to bid him a hasty farewell.

As he was leaving, he couldn’t help but add a word of caution, ”Stay safe.”

Qi Zeyan beamed, ”Thank you, Uncle.”

After passing through security, Qi Zeyan called Ruan Mengxi. He thought that his own sweet romance was finally about to begin.

But after exchanging a few words, it seemed another call came in for Ruan Mengxi. ”Fourth Master is calling, I’ll hang up on you first.”

What the heck?

Cutting off his call just for Jiang Chengsi’s call?

What was that bastard Jiang Chengsi up to? Didn’t he have any sense!

Later, he confronted Jiang Chengsi to ask what he meant by it.
