Chapter 645: 407 Seizing the Opportunity for Revenge, Getting to Know a Quirky Family (2 Updates)

Having picked up the elderly Shen couple from the airport, Jiang Jinsang had already reserved a spot at Quanjude

in Beijing.

On the drive there, Tang Wan sat in the passenger seat, with the three members of the Shen Family in the back.

The old granny held Shen Shuci’s hand the entire time, eyeing her carefully, "You've gotten a bit skinny and look

somewhat haggard. Haven't you been resting well?"

"I was busy until late yesterday." Shen Shuci had no choice but to follow through with her lie.

"Don’t work so hard. If you're short on cash, just tell me."

"I'm not." Her internship didn’t pay much, but her expenses were really modest. Plus, with the little savings she

had accumulated over time, she was quite comfortable.

"Look at you, wearing so little. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold..."

The old lady's nagging was nothing more than the typical concerns any parent would repeatedly remind their

child, and with her advancing age, it ceven more frequently. Shen Shuci simply smiled and responded

politely.

Arriving at Quanjude, the group sat down for a meal. Jiang Jinsang and the elder Mr. Shen were on one side,

probably discussing national military and political matters of the day due to their seniority, while Tang Wan and

Shen Shuci sat close by the old granny chatting about less significant matters.

The elders had cthis tto attend Jiang Yanting’s wedding. Speaking of which, the old lady couldn't help

feeling emotional:

"Wanwan’s wedding is probably coming up soon. Shuci, the young man Master Xi introduced to you the other

day, you didn’t like him?"

Xi Fangli had gone to Jinling for an exhibition tour and had been away for three or four days. It was unlikely he

would attend Jiang Yanting’s wedding.

"He's a nice person. We just might not click," Shen Shuci muttered with a slight cough.

"I know you've always been sensible and haven't givenmuch to worry about. But at your age, marriage is

something you should start seriously considering..."

Shen Shuci knew all too well the old lady’s good intentions and nodded in agreement. Midway through, she

excused herself to go to the washroom, and the old lady took the opportunity to ask Tang Wan about the blind

date.

"... I've told Master Xi, if there's someone suitable, keep them in mind for your little aunt. You know her temper,

she’s sensitive, stubborn, and obstinate. | worry she’ll get angry." The old lady was extremely gentle and was

also concerned that Shen Shuci would resent these arrangements.

"It's okay, little aunt understands. She didn’t react badly, you're overthinking it."

"What kind of person was the young man Master Xi introduced? He should be good, why didn’t she like him?"

The old lady sighed.

Tang Wan did meet Yu Wei once later, when they were saying goodbye to Xi Fangli...

On that day, Shen Shuci was also there. She felt that Yu Wei was excessively polite when speaking with Shen

Shuci, to the point that Tang Wan even thought Yu Wei was a bit scared of her.

If it weren't for the fact that both of them had returned from the Jiang Family's backyard grove safe and sound,

Tang Wan might have suspected that the little aunt had given him a thrashing.

After the meal, they took the elders to see a couple of sights before sending them back to their hotel, leaving

Shen Shuci alone to keep them company.

On the way back to the old mansion, Tang Wan stretched her neck and leaned back in the seat, entirely lax and

even her speech carried a hint of laziness.

"Have you been too tired lately?" Jiang Jinsang glanced her way from the corner of his eye.

"I'm not sure, | just always feel sleepy, and my body is particularly weary."

With the joyous occasion in the Jiang Family, how could Tang Wan not lend a hand? Coupled with work at the

stuand the surge in orders after You Congrong’s incident, she had even specially hired a few more staff

members but still found herself incredibly busy.

"Take a bath when you get back and rest well."

Ever since Tang Wan mentioned she was on her period, Jiang Jinsang hadn't touched her and, given her recent

exhaustion, he wasn’t the type of man who only thought with his lower body; he felt sorry for her.

"Will Brother Huo make it back for the wedding?" Tang Wan turned to look at the person beside her.

"I don’t know."

"If he can’t make it, Mr. Xie will probably be the happiest." Because of the wedding arrangements, Xie Duo and

his sister Xie Tongtong were often coming to the Jiang house, and to facilitate communication, everyone created

a group chat, gradually becoming more familiar with each other.

Jiang Jinsang chuckled softly, "Xie Duo is just waiting to give my brother a hard tduring the wedding door

games. If Old Huo is there, the Xie Family's relatives and friends might all be a bit intimidated, so he’s been

keeping Huo’s departure from Beijing a secret from Xie Duo..."

Xie Duo was indeed close to going mad recently!

The old Mr. Xie and Xie Yonggi meant to really challenge Jiang Yanting, but as they wouldn't take the lead, Xie

Duo couldn't be unaware of the schemes they were playing.

They were too senior to tease Jiang Yanting, and they didn’t want to ruin the image they had in his mind, so the

unpleasant task fell to him.

And the reasons they gave sounded particularly good.

Old Mr. Xie: "You and Yanting have been rivals since childhood, with no clear winner. After the wedding, he’ll be

your legitimate uncle by marriage, and you'll have to respect him. Opportunities to challenge him won't come

often, we're entrusting you with the door games as a sign of our trust and as an opportunity for revenge.”

Xie Yonggqi: "Prepare earnestly and seize the moment well."

Old Mr. Xie: "I know you've always wanted to challenge him, and this is a legitimate opportunity for you to rough

him up."

Xie Yonggi: "I have faith in you."

Even Xie Tongtong was holding back laughter at the edge, because they all knew that Huo Qingi was already

booked as the best man for the welcoming procession, and they didn’t know if Jiang Jinsang would cto join

in on the fun, but Jiang Chengsi and Qi Zeyan were probably going to be there.

It was bound to be very lively.

On the way there, Tang Wan chatted with Jiang Jinsang and soon they arrived at the old house. As the car

entered the courtyard, they saw a car parked inside that neither belonged to the Jiang Family nor looked familiar.

Jiang Yanting’s wedding was imminent, and recently quite a few people had cdirectly to the old house to

offer their congratulations.

They were simply afraid that the wedding would be too crowded, and the Jiang Family wouldn't be able to attend

to them, nor would they have the chance to show their faces in front of everyone; those who cin private to

offer their congratulations usually brought quite generous gifts.

In the past few days, the old house had never been quiet, but on such a joyous occasion, the old lady was happy,

and they warmly welcomed all visitors as guests.

Jiang Cuo and Jiang Jiu hadn't followed Jiang Jinsang that day, and upon seeing his return, they went to greet him

to give him a forewarning.

"Master, today’s visitors are from the Liang Family."

"Mhm." Jiang Jinsang nodded.

Jiang Cuo was simply giving them a heads-up. As Jiang Jinsang led Tang Wan into the house, Tang Wan asked in a

low voice, "The Liang’s? Who are they?"

She just wanted to get a bit of a background, since they were about to meet them anyway.

"I don’t know them either, they might be acquaintances of Grandmother." There were many people in Beijing,

and not just one family with the surnLiang, but it seemed there were none with that surnwho were

particularly close to the Jiang Family.

After the two entered the house, there were four people sitting in the living room: an elderly gentleman, a

middle-aged couple, and a young man in his early twenties.

"Back already, cover here," the old lady called out with a smile.

"Xiaowu, this is your elder brother and his wife, these two kids are really good-looking," said the old gentleman

sitting next to the old lady, offering polite compliments.

"This is your Grandfather Liang, as well as Uncle Liang, Auntie, and the younger brother of the Liang Family," the

old lady introduced them briefly.

After greetings were exchanged in turn, they sat down and chatted for a while, and it was only then Tang Wan

was surprised to realize that she knew this Mrs. Liang...

She actually recognized her.

Exchanging looks with Jiang Jinsang, it seemed that both had remembered her.

She was urging her son to be more sociable, telling him to call Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan ’brother’ and ’sister-

in-law.”

But the boy was somewhat rebellious and didn’t want to listen to his mother, reluctantly heeding her with a call.

Afterwards, Jiang Jinsang even went so far as to have people check but found no connection with Shen Shuci, so

they didn’t think much of it.

They hadn't expected to encounter her here, although the Liang Family didn’t stay at the Jiang Family for long.

After sending them off, Tang Wan massaged the old lady’s neck and tentatively asked, "Grandmother, are they

your friends?"

"The Liang Family used to be well-known in Beijing, but now it’s really..."

"Flowers don’t stay fresh for a hundred days."

Jiang Jinsang listened without saying anything at the side.

"Is that kid, 20 yet?" Jiang Jinsang twiddled his fingers.

"19," answered the old lady.

"That Uncle Liang looks about the sage as Father, and he has such a young son? An only child?"

"That's their only Miaomiao." The old lady patted Tang Wan’s hand, "Alright, stop now, take a rest."

Pulling her to sit beside herself, the old lady inquired about the Shen Family elders coming to Beijing, expressing

a desire to invite them over for a meal the next day.

Tang Wan nodded in agreement, and after returning to her room, she called the Shen Family elders, as well as

Shen Shuci.

She felt something was off about Mrs. Liang, yet couldn't put her finger on it. Could it be that she inquired about

her Aunt last tto find a match for her son?

Yet her son seemed too young for that.

To be looking for a match for him now seemed a bit too hasty.
