Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

Si Qingxiao was extremely picky about clothing, yet all the clothes Jiang Chengsi chose were her aesthetic blind spots.

Forget it, she couldn’t disappoint his good intentions, might as well wear them.

When Jiang Chengsi came back with food, Si Qingxiao specially asked him, ”Did you choose this outfit?”

”Yes.” Jiang Chengsi glanced at her, ”It looks pretty good.”

”...”

Si Qingxiao’s mouth twitched hard, elevating a straight man’s sense of aesthetics wasn’t an easy task.

As she sat down to eat, Jiang Chengsi said, ”After dinner, I’ll take you home.”

Only then did Si Qingxiao remember that she hadn’t returned home last night and forgot to inform her parents in advance.

”Don’t worry, I called Uncle and said you drank too much last night, slept in a bit, and would be home late.”

Si Qingxiao glanced at the time, it was already past three in the afternoon.

How much did she drink last night to be drunk until the afternoon? Her dad wasn’t going to be fooled.

Si Qingxiao could barely eat her meal, nervous inside; unwilling to go home but knowing she had to face it.

Si Yushan waited from sunrise to sunset before his daughter finally returned...

He initially held back a storm of anger, ready to scold that wild kid Jiang Chengsi, but as soon as they entered the living room, Si Yushan saw his daughter’s outfit and his eyelid twitched violently.

”What are you wearing?”

Si Yushan was always particular and had good taste; seeing his daughter’s outfit, his brows furrowed.

”My fourth brother chose it for me.” Si Qingxiao sounded rather aggrieved.

Jiang Chengsi pursed his lips:

Was there something wrong with the clothes he picked? Weren’t they pretty nice?

”Go upstairs and change your clothes quickly.” Si Yushan waved her off dismissively.

Si Qingxiao initially thought her father would be furious, but to her surprise, he just sent her away, feeling relieved like being pardoned, she hurried back to her room.

”Xiao... Xiaoxiao.” Jiang Chengsi was a bit bewildered.

You left, what about me!

Your boyfriend is still here, and you just abandoned him?

Si Yushan glanced at him deeply, ”Why are you standing there? Come over and play a couple of chess games with me.”

Jiang Chengsi shuffled over with small steps, sat opposite him, and helped set up the chess pieces, appearing obedient and humble throughout.

”How much did Xiaoxiao drink yesterday to sleep until the afternoon?” Si Yushan rubbed the chess piece in his hand, his words carrying deeper meaning.

”It was my fault, I didn’t keep my promise to send her back.”

Everyone understood what happened last night, but some things were best left unsaid.

Si Yushan didn’t say much, seemingly focused on the chessboard; however, Jiang Chengsi was distracted, his strategy repeatedly flawed, leading to a complete defeat.

”I lost.” Jiang Chengsi pressed his lips tightly, ”You’re still the better strategist, Uncle.”

”It’s not that I’m skilled, it’s that you’re not focused.” Si Yushan raised an eyebrow, ”By the way, do you remember the Yan Family from Nanjiang I mentioned before?”

”I remember, you said there’s a business with them.”

”They’re planning a jewelry exhibition for Qixi. I’ve always invested in their events.” Si Yushan raised a hand and reordered the chess pieces to their starting positions, ”I want to entrust this year’s event to you.”

”Entrust to me?” Jiang Chengsi was surprised; he’d always worked with either Jiang Jinsang or Si Yushan and hadn’t gone solo before.

And the Yan Family of Nanjiang!

It’s said the decision-maker of Yan’s Jewelry is extremely formidable!

”You’ve learned in Jiang’s company for quite a while, and now with me too, actually I think letting you out there to practice would help you grow faster than all I can teach.” Si Yushan spoke matter-of-factly.

Everyone understands the truth that theory without practice is shallow.

”Yan’s President Yan Wangchuan, is an old friend of mine, he’s quite nice, easy-going and friendly.”

Jiang Chengsi’s mouth twitched hard.

Are you joking with me? Do I look gullible to you? The Yan Family of Nanjiang, although not acquainted, hasn’t interacted, but this Mr. Yan is Fu Third Master’s father-in-law.

What kind of deity is Fu Third Master in Beijing, a fierce character even he must avoid, how can Jiang Chengsi dare to provoke him?

Letting him handle this big shot is practically a death sentence.

Easy-going and friendly, do you think I’m naive and simple?

This is deliberately throwing me into a crocodile pit.
