Si Yushan himself only has a daughter, so he has quite a fondness for girls. Taotao, looking cute and adorable, smiled as she lifted the teacup and took a sip. He asked if she was tired or if she had eaten enough at night.

”I’ve eaten enough, the food was especially delicious.”

”That’s good to hear. Are you currently in kindergarten?”

”I’ll be starting primary school soon.”

”So impressive, which primary school are you planning to attend?” Si Yushan looked over at the Jiang Family across from him.

”Just the one that’s closer to home, Hexi Primary School. The teaching staff and environment are quite good,” said Jiang Yanting.

”Yes, it’s an established primary school, indeed quite good.” Si Yushan nodded in agreement. The Jiang Family didn’t opt for a prestigious private school, which was a bit unexpected, but surely they have their reasons. A simpler environment is better for a child’s growth.

”Did you study in Beijing before, Miss Si? Which school did you attend?” Fan Mingyu took the opportunity of the topic to ask Si Qingxiao.

”You can call me Xiaoxiao. I attended both primary and middle school in Beijing, at...”

Taking advantage of the children, Jiang Chengsi managed to pass this stage rather peacefully, thanks to Jiangjiang and Taotao. With children present, how could Si Yushan possibly make things difficult for their fourth uncle in front of them?

Jiang Chengsi glanced at the group of advisors behind him.

Previously, they discussed some extreme scenarios, like what would happen if Si Yushan was completely unyielding or deliberately difficult!

Jiang Jinsang directly said, ”We have countermeasures, you don’t need to worry.”

Jiang Shiyi even said, ”Just prepare what you need to say later and handle your part well.”

Their so-called solutions actually rely on children to indirectly resolve the situation?

One must admit...

This group indeed thinks differently than he does because he couldn’t have thought of these things.

Si Qingxiao thought that tonight’s meeting with the parents might trigger an indescribable storm. In the end...

It turned into a tea party between the two families?

Fan Mingyu even exchanged contact details with You Yunzhi and made plans to attend a music concert together, while Jiangjiang was talking to Si Yushan about playing soccer and inviting him to watch his match.

Seeing such amicable interaction, Si Qingxiao was taken aback.

Looking over at the Jiang Family members across, her gaze met Tang Wan’s, who then stood up smoothly and led Si Qingxiao over to sit with the Jiang Family, ”I saw you were a bit tense when you came over earlier; are you worried too?”

Who isn’t worried about meeting the parents?

Si Qingxiao nodded.

”We’ll all help you, no need to worry.”

Si Qingxiao nodded in agreement, glanced towards Jiang Chengsi who was chatting with his parents, and then at the strong support group from the Jiang Family, thinking to herself—could it be that her fourth brother is the family favorite within the Jiang Family?

Even the Si Family members observing from a distance were stunned by this development.

Even if it’s not like two armies clashing fiercely, it shouldn’t be just a friendly tea party, right?

How did events unfold like this? It was completely different from what they had imagined.

Fan Mingyu whispered something to Tang Wan, who nodded and stood up to leave, prompting Jiang Jinsang to naturally ask where she was going.

”Mom said it’s getting late, and uncle and aunt haven’t had much to eat. Since today is aunt’s birthday, she asked me to go to the kitchen and see if we can make some noodles.”

”I’ll go with you.”

The Si Family members, continuing to observe, noticed Tang Wan approaching to inquire about the kitchen’s location.

”Are you hungry? What would you like us to prepare?” Though the kitchen is spotless, guests usually shouldn’t go inside.

”Just tell me where it is.”

The Si Family guided them there, most of the chefs had left, leaving only the manager behind. Noodles were prepared, as they were the main dish for the birthday, and quite a bit remained.

When Tang Wan asked about the noodles, the Si Family seemed to get the idea.

”I wonder, can the mister and miss handle this scheme from the Jiang Family?”

”Don’t mention the mister and miss; I reckon no one can withstand it. Ever since Jiangjiang sent the cake, I knew the Jiang Family was playing the emotional card.”

”But they do have a genuine approach; not everyone thinks this way.”

...

Cooking noodles didn’t take long, and Tang Wan made enough for everyone to have a taste.
