Chapter 793: 483 Tang Xiaodao goes online, Siye collapses [Prize Quiz]
About two or three days later, Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang packed their belongings and prepared to return to Beijing.
Mr. Tang urged the couple to return, mentioning it was inappropriate to stay at her parentsâ home too long without having a wedding ceremony, as they had already registered their marriage. Moreover, Tang Wan was pregnant, and the Jiang family was also concerned about her, but when they were truly ready to leave, everyone felt deeply saddened and reluctant.
They feared that Tang Wan would not eat or sleep well, so they prepared a heap of Pingjiang specialties for her.
Wishing they could pack up everything for her.
Shen Shuci and Huo Qinqi also returned to Beijing with them, along with a pile of food gathered by the elderly Shen couple, which occupied half of their luggage.
When Jiang Chengsi arrived, he brought only a few clothes; when leaving, he still had the fate of a laborerânot his belongings, but he still had to help carry them.
On the day they returned to Beijing, it was drizzling, and Tang Wan did not let her family see them off, considering the slippery roads due to the rain, leaving only Tang Yunxian who insisted on taking them to the airport...
Long after they had left, Mr. Tang still sat under the porch, staring blankly at the door.
From the radio nearby, narratives from storytelling kept tuning in with highs and lows, featuring his favorite storytellings, yet he had no interest in listening.
"Wanwan and the others should have reached the airport; stop looking. Itâs raining outside, donât catch a cold," Mrs. Shen urged him to come inside.
"Iâm just playing with the birds." The old man pretended to amuse Hua Mei.
"If you fall ill, the kids will definitely worry. Come inside now," Mrs. Shenâs words seemed to take effect.
Thatâs right, at their age, the best they could do for their children was to give them less to worry about; they couldnât afford to be sick. He walked inside, leaning on his cane, inevitably heaving sighs...
"I think that young man from the Huo family is quite good, though not much of a talker, he gets along well with Shuci. I guess youâre about to have a joyful event soon, and are you guys also planning to go abroad?" Mr. Tang looked over to the Shenâs elder.
"Iâve been considering this matter lately; in the past, we went out for medical purposes, but now that healthcare at home has developed well and Iâm old, home feels best. Itâs just that there are affairs abroad that also need handling."
The Shenâs assets had mostly been transferred abroad, and over the years, their investments had become quite substantial.
"If youâre thinking of coming back to the country, let Yunxian handle the matters abroad," Mr. Tang naturally hoped they would stay in the country longer.
"I plan to liquidate some investments abroad and prepare a dowry for Shuci. It canât be too shabby for a wedding when she marries."
The Huo family wasnât an ordinary family, they probably wouldnât mind, but with the Liang familyâs issue causing a stir, countless eyes were watching; surely the elders wanted their daughterâs wedding to be splendid.
"Have you discussed with Shuci about selling the assets and staying in the country?" Mr. Tang was pleased to hear they also planned to stay.
"Why tell her? That would just cause her unnecessary worries," laughed the old lady.
...
Shen Shuci was naturally unaware of the eldersâ plans. She had just boarded the plane and was chatting with Tang Wan.
This was initially Jiang Jinsangâs seat, which she had ousted him from, causing him to sit beside Huo Qinqi insteadâtwo grown men together, what could they possibly talk about, leaving them lost in an awkward silence.

Jiang Mansion
It was raining in Pingjiang, but a sunny day in Beijing. Knowing Jiang Jinsang was returning today, Jiangjiang was most delighted as his snacks were coming back, and the elderly lady was also very happy, instructing people to tidy up the house once again.
Shen Shuci initially wanted to go directly home, but out of respect for the old ladyâs hospitality, she and Huo Qinqi first went to the Jiang Family to have dinner before leaving.
Upon arriving at the mansion, everyone from the Jiang family had gathered except Jiang Shiyi.
"Iâll take the luggage upstairs; you distribute the gifts," Jiang Jinsang looked toward Tang Wan, pointing at the gifts already placed at the entryway, "Also, the sample photos from our wedding shoot are here, you could show them to grandma and others first."
Tang Wan, being pregnant, had rested for several days after the photo shoot, and most of these gifts were bought by Jiang Jinsang. Letting her distribute them was his way of ensuring she made a good impression in front of the Jiang family...
By personally handing out gifts, whether to the grandmother or Jiang Zhenhuan and his wife, they would surely keep her kindness in mind. Spreading the word that they were from the daughter-in-law would naturally feel different.
Jiang Jinsang was indeed very considerate and well-mannered.
Huo Qinqi sat aside, simply watching quietly, earnestly learning...
"Jiangjiang, Taotao, these are your gifts, and some other snacks as well, packaged up for you to take home and enjoy."
"Thank you, Auntie," the happiness of a child could be as simple as a lollipop, easily obtained.
During the intervals of distributing gifts, Jiang Shiyi had already arrived...
"Third Cousin, this is your gift."
