After the old lady finished speaking, the Jiang Family’s living room was instantly engulfed in silence, with only Jiang Xiaowai staying in Fan Mingyu’s arms, babbling and waving her little hands.

Jiang Chengsi was completely stunned; in just a few minutes, it seems his brother had taken off like a rocket.

”Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh”—he even managed to have a kid.

Not to mention him, even Jiang Shiyi on the phone was stunned for several seconds.

It’s hardly surprising that the old lady was overly concerned; marriage is a major life event, and Jiang Shiyi should come home and discuss the matter in detail, at least he should explain the situation about his marriage partner.

So suddenly, without any preparation, anyone would be caught off guard.

Luckily, the Jiang Family remained composed; otherwise, in any other home, it would have been a scene of chaos and turmoil.

Knowing nothing, just announcing a marriage, and so early in the morning when he called, it was around six or seven, what was he doing at someone else’s home at that time? Did he get up before the rooster crowed?

When Jiang Chengsi wasn’t dating, if he suddenly called home, whether for marriage or coming out, the old lady wouldn’t be surprised; after all, this boy behaved eccentrically since childhood.

But when it comes to Jiang Shiyi, the situation is unclear. He has always been composed, and wouldn’t suddenly do something like this unless something significant happened.

The old lady’s mind was also in turmoil, naturally thinking about shotgun weddings.

On the phone, the person remained silent, and the old lady squinted slightly, ”Shiyi, be honest with Grandma, what’s really going on? Did you actually do something outrageous?”

”Are you being held by them? Did the girl’s family stop you from leaving?”

”Explain clearly, we can figure it out together. Even if there’s a child, that’s okay, everything is negotiable. Hopefully, that’s not the case. How many months?”

...

Jiang Shiyi pinched the bridge of his nose, ”Grandma, you’re overthinking, that’s not it.”

”Then tell me, why the sudden rush to get married? Even if you don’t bring the girl home, you should come back and explain things to us, otherwise... how is this marriage supposed to happen.”

So sudden, knowing nothing, makes even discussing the marriage difficult.

”I understand, this matter still requires thorough discussion.” Jiang Shiyi cherishes Lin Luyou deeply and doesn’t want to rush into marriage and getting a certificate; he surely wants to do his best to ensure the best for her.

”Since there’s no pregnancy, why did you go to someone else’s house so early in the morning?” The old lady frowned.

Jiang Shiyi remained silent for a long time, but it was Jiang Jinsang who suddenly spoke, ”Grandma, don’t ask anymore. It’s likely that Third Brother didn’t go there early in the morning...”

”Last night, while drinking with Uncle Si, he seemed distracted, frequently checking his phone, appearing restless.”

”Probably he didn’t go home at all last night, and early today, got caught and mistaken for a lecher.” Jiang Jinsang fiddled with his fingers, ”I guess her family doesn’t know, if they knew about your relationship and allowed you to stay at their place, you wouldn’t have called back so early.”

”If he got caught last night, he would’ve contacted us in the middle of the night.”

”Clearly, it seems you were caught trying to sneak away this morning.”

Jiang Shiyi took a deep breath; truthfully, the Lin Family parents aren’t as hard to handle as Jiang Xiaowu, who speaks as if he had firsthand experience.

Jiang Jinsang’s thorough analysis was impressively logical; even Jiang Chengsi, watching through the screen, almost couldn’t hold back from applauding him.

His analysis was clear and logical, making it hard to refute; if not for an extreme unexpected situation, based on his brother’s character, he wouldn’t act like this.

He could only ponder why he wasn’t as sharp despite them being from the same family.

Jiang Shiyi frowned, ”Jiang Xiaowu, speak with evidence, don’t make wild guesses.”

”Then tell us the real reason for this sudden decision to marry?”

”I have my reasons.”

Jiang Jinsang chuckled, ”You say you want to get married, informing us naturally means hoping both sides sit down and resolve things smoothly. But you’re being so secretive, saying nothing; even if we want to help, we don’t know how to proceed.”

”What to say in a meeting? Any taboos we can’t mention, you haven’t said a thing.”
