Rarely shows any negative, pessimistic emotions.

It just so happens to be at Qi Zeyan’s engagement party, surely making people subconsciously associate.

Even the Qi Family noticed his odd behavior. Old Master Qi specifically asked Jiang Jinsang, ”What’s wrong with Chengsi today? Looking troubled and distressed?”

”I just went to talk to him, also felt his spirits aren’t high today?”

”Is it because your grandma is urging him to go on a blind date again recently, or threatened to sell his car?”

Old Master Qi had somewhat watched him grow up. Even during school exams when he was at the bottom, he didn’t care, always being optimistic and cheerful. How could he suddenly become depressed?

After all, it was an engagement party, and there were quite a few people around, curious about Jiang Chengsi’s unusual behavior today.

Jiang Jinsang simply smiled and said four words:

”Troubled by love.”

Old Master Qi frowned, thinking Jiang Jinsang was teasing him deliberately. The Jiang brothers often banter with each other, but when this kind of joke is heard by others, it sounds completely different.

Especially some people, they immediately inserted themselves into the notion that it was about him and Qi Zeyan’s relationship.

This misunderstanding broadened further.

Qi Zeyan and Ruan Mengxi’s engagement was quite traditional, hosted by the Ruan Family, with many relatives and friends present.

Ruan Mengxi dressed exceptionally beautifully today, while Qi Zeyan had his trademark parted slick hair, neatly tailored suit, and shiny polished shoes, looking quite the rich young gentleman.

Upon encountering joyful occasions, one’s face naturally radiates happiness, but when he caught sight of a self-pitying person with the corner of his eye, it was somewhat annoying and irritating.

What on earth is this guy here for!

Jiang Yanting and Huo Qinqi were busy, so Jiang Chengsi claimed he was representing them to support him, but ended up like this, looking heartbroken.

Were you thinking of crashing the party?

If it weren’t for the inappropriate occasion, he really wanted to throw him out.

It’s my engagement, did you come deliberately to cause trouble?

An engagement isn’t as intricate and grand as a wedding; after Ruan Daqiang and Old Master Qi spoke and thanked everyone for coming, there was a toast, followed by Qi Zeyan and Ruan Mengxi making rounds to toast at each table.

Ruan Mengxi privately asked Tang Wan, ”What’s going on with Xiaosi today? Did someone steal his car?”

Tang Wan laughed aloud, ”Don’t mind him, he’s been like this for the past couple of days.”

”Do tell me about it, he’s my boss. When I return to Beijing to work, if he’s still like this, I’ll have to be extra cautious while working, avoid stepping on his tail.”

”He offended his girlfriend’s uncle.”

”...”

Ruan Mengxi suddenly didn’t know what to say, she just toasted him with a glass of wine, saying it was to thank him for his workplace care and for attending her engagement party in Pingjiang, though she secretly thought:

Xiaosi indeed takes an unconventional path, the relationship isn’t even public yet he managed to offend someone’s uncle?

He truly lives up to being her boss, certainly unique.

Jiang Chengsi was already feeling down inside, typically at the Tang Family, no one drank with him, Old Master Tang used to sip a few drinks, but since Xiaowai’s arrival, worried that the smell of alcohol would bother his little great-grandchild, not only did he stop drinking, but he also stopped taking walks with birds.

He spent all day visiting with the kid, leaving the Hua Mei bird to him.

During the day, Jiang Chengsi either walked the bird or rode the scooter around, and at night, he’d go to the Tang Family, listen to storytelling with the old man, soak his feet, and drink goji berry tea.

Inner frustration with nowhere to release.

Just in time for Qi Zeyan’s engagement, there was wine to drink, so he indulged lavishly.

When Ruan Mengxi came over to toast at their table, he even directly said, ”Xiaoruan, the wine your family prepared is pretty nice.”

Ruan Daqiang only had one daughter, naturally everything from hosting the banquet to liquor selection was the best.

”If you like it, drink more.” Ruan Mengxi could only say that.

Somebody wasn’t shy and truly drank a lot...

From an outsider’s perspective, it was said he was heartbroken over Qi Zeyan’s engagement, drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

”Fourth brother, that’s quite enough.” Jiang Jinsang saw him drinking too much and gently advised.

”I’m just having a little drink.”
