Chapter 648: 408 Before the wedding, do gods, demons, and monsters all reveal themselves? (3 updates)_3
Actually, these people wanting to inquire about Shen Shuci didnât bother him at all, but such news couldnât flow out from him, after all...
As someone who had tasted the bitter fruit of knowledge!
Once something happened, he feared that he would be treated like a wooden stake, mercilessly hammered by a certain someone.
...
Qi Zeyan took a sip of champagne to calm his nerves, "Chengsi, donât meddle in Shen Shuciâs affair," he kindly reminded.
"Why would I meddle in her business?" Although they both lived in Hexi, they had only met a few times.
**
In Jiang Chengsiâs view, Shen Shuci was Tang Wanâs aunt, and given the layers of relations between them, his level of interest in her was less than that of a new helmet...
But he didnât know that among the few people who had just inquired about Shen Shuci, a daring one, holding a wine glass, had approached her.
First, he greeted Jiang Jinsang, Jiang Shiyi, and Tang Wan before finally clinking glasses with Shen Shuci.
"Miss Shen, Iâve heard a lot about you, I never thought Iâd meet you today, itâs an honor." Actually, everyone could guess the young manâs meaning, his eyes glued on Shen Shuci, it was obvious even to a fool.
"Mm." Shen Shuci didnât even know him and just responded politely.
Jiang Jinsang and the others were all watching, and the young man felt a bit embarrassed. In an effort to bridge the gap, he plucked up the courage and said:
"Oh, Iâm a friend of Fourth Master."
Subtext...
Introduced by Jiang Chengsi.
Jiang Shiyi glanced at his own younger brother who was being chummy with Qi Zeyan nearby, narrowed his eyes:
This kid, such a naive buffoon.
How could he have such a foolish brother?
With alcohol in play, it really brought out all kinds of creatures; everyone and anyone was there.
"Hello." Shen Shuci politely greeted him, giving Jiang Chengsi face.
"Miss Shen, would it be okay to add you on WeChat?" the young man asked boldly.
"Sure."
The evening was lively, everyoneâs spirits were high, and Shen Shuci didnât want to leave anyone feeling uncomfortable. Besides, adding contact information didnât necessarily mean something would develop afterward.
Once one person successfully broke the ice, three or four more young men followed suit, asking for her contact information.
"I didnât expect Auntie to be so popular," Tang Wan teased.
...
The event lasted until about ten oâclock when everyone gradually dispersed. Shen Zhixian had already confirmed that a friend couldnât serve as bridesmaid, so Shen Shuci had to step in. She needed to get to the Xie Family early the next day.
Jiang Chengsi, having drunk too much, sat in Jiang Shiyiâs car, provoking his disdain.
"Brother, donât worry, I wonât throw up." Jiang Chengsi knew he was a germaphobe and thought he was afraid of his car getting dirty.
"Itâs not about throwing up. Itâs that Iâm afraid of being in a closed space with you and catching a virus."
"Huh? Iâm very healthy, no virus."
"Idiot virus is also a kind of disease."
...
Jiang Chengsi had drunk too much and didnât really hear what was said, just remembering that Jiang Shiyi called him a fool. The next day, when he woke up, he went to settle the account, "Bro, did you insult me last night?"
"Insult you?"
"You called me a fool."
"That wasnât an insult, just stating a fact."
He actually didnât deny it, how arrogant.
However, Jiang Chengsi didnât have time to argue with him; after a quick breakfast, he tidied up and headed to the Jiang Mansion...
**
The night before Jiang Yantingâs wedding, Fan Mingyu was too excited to sleep and got up before dawn to get ready, afraid that something might go wrong.
Tang Wan made some Cyan Feather accessories for Shen Zhixian and went early in the morning to keep an eye on the makeup artist. Shen Shuci, as bridesmaid, was also at the Xie Family early, changing clothes, applying makeup, doing her hair - the whole bedroom was a bustle of activity.
"Aunt, please have something to eat," Xie Tongtong brought some sweet porridge over.
"Let Wanwan and Shuci eat first, Iâm not hungry." Shen Zhixian had been nervous since the night before and had barely eaten anything.
"Okay." Xie Tongtong nodded. "Oh, my brother asked me to confirm with you, is the one coming to pick up the bride your uncle, Qi Zeyan?"
"It should be," Shen Zhixian nodded.
Tang Wan leaned on Shen Shuciâs arm, "Xie Gongzi must be worried about Brother Huo coming."
"What do you mean?" Shen Shuci was adjusting her bridesmaid dress.
"If Brother Huo comes to pick up the bride, he might barge in; who could stop him? He might turn the bridal pickup into a bridal snatch."
Shen Shuci pursed her lips, a bridal snatch?
Thinking of that previous domineering kiss, she felt her ears warming. He probably wouldnât hesitate to do anything.
...
As soon as Xie Tongtong went out, she immediately told Xie Duo.
"Huo isnât coming today?" Xie Duo had changed into a suit, adjusting his tie.
"He shouldnât be."
"Alright, go and do what you need to. If your aunt needs anything, let me know," Xie Duo said, feeling relieved that a certain person wasnât serving as a groomsman.
**
Over at the Jiang Mansion, it was bustling with the preparation to head to the Xie Family to pick up the bride.
Jiang Jinsang and his brothers werenât groomsmen; going to the Xie Family was simply to add to the crowd and join in the fun. But it was rare for them to be so united outwardly; the grandmother looked at her grandsons with pride and comfort in her heart.
Many relatives and friends were praising the Jiang brothers, and the grandmother felt blessed.
Before leaving, looking at the four of them, she wanted to give some advice, but perhaps being too excited, she didnât know what to say, eventually just cautioning:
"Chengsi, when you get to the Xie Family, be careful, and listen to your older brothers and Xiaowu."
Jiang Chengsi: "..."
What the hell did I do? Iâve dressed the part as you commanded, so why are you still so distrusting?
Could it be that in your eyes, Iâm such an inconsiderate person?
Listening to his brothers, he understood, but why did he, being a fourth brother, still have to listen to Jiang Xiaowu, that brat?
"Alright, donât delay; letâs set off," Fan Mingyu adjusted Jiang Yantingâs clothes a bit more.
"Is Old Huo really not able to make it back?" Qi Zeyan was surprised, "To miss such an important day, what a pity..."
They all knew that Xie Duo didnât want Huo Qinqi to be a groomsman, but everyone was just looking forward to the show, wondering how Xie Duo would handle it if he really showed up...
Such a shame the main character wasnât there!
