Chapter 930 - 557: Drive Parents Crazy Series, Surprises Ahead [Reward List]

Chapter 930: Chapter 557: Drive Parents Crazy Series, Surprises Ahead [Reward List]

Ever since Qi Zeyan, this little cousin, added Ruan Mengxi, apart from greeting each other when they first exchanged contact information, their interaction has remained at the level of liking each other’s posts on social media.

As for his declaration to pursue Ruan Mengxi, he didn’t take it seriously. He was stuck in the hospital, his legs inconvenient, and he was so bored that he felt like he was growing fur.

With nothing to do, he helped Jiang Chengsi search for houses. The Jiang brothers all have some peculiar preferences.

Jiang Xiaowu wants a big bathroom, with a huge bathtub. Are you planning to swim?

Another wants a big garage. Why not just buy a racing car track and live there?

It’s hard to find a suitable house in a short time. However, recently, Jiang Chengsi’s demand for a house doesn’t seem as urgent, likely because his brother hasn’t been home much.

...

Jiang Shiyi seems to be busy with some experiment and often doesn’t come home.

Once when he came home, he bumped into his brother packing a few clothes and carrying a small luggage bag, so he asked:

"Brother, are you moving out... to live with her?"

Although they hadn’t talked about the exposed tracking incident at the club, the brothers knew implicitly.

Seeing his brother actually packing to leave, Jiang Chengsi naturally had this thought.

But Jiang Shiyi only said, "I’ve been busy with work lately."

Jiang Chengsi raised an eyebrow and smiled, clearly not believing his story.

Jiang Shiyi glanced at him, his tone indifferent, "Men and women together can’t just be about work? Your thinking is quite filthy."

After saying that, he left, leaving Jiang Chengsi almost flipping the table in anger.

Who is shameless, quitting to chase after a girl, and claiming your thoughts are pure?

...

Speaking of Jiang Shiyi, he’s really busy lately. Regarding You Shenming’s situation, they’re only responsible for submitting live sample test results; other matters have nothing to do with them.

And Lin Luyou applied for a project this year, currently in a critical stage, and he certainly has to help, often sleeping in the lab.

With him never returning home, Jiang Chengsi’s chaotic life resumed, staying up all night without anyone to manage him, so the need for a house naturally isn’t as urgent anymore.

He spends every day visiting the club to check the renovation or goes to Tang Wan’s place to oversee the Cyan Feather screen’s production progress.

Every time he goes to Tang Wan’s studio, he shamelessly tags along to Tang Wan’s house to mooch a meal.

This worries Jiang Jinsang.

For Tang Wan’s pregnancy, ensuring enough nutrition, he specially consulted the elderly lady, Fan Mingyu, and even some nutritionists, preparing nutritious meals for his wife every day.

Tang Wan naturally has a small appetite, even during pregnancy; her appetite hasn’t significantly increased.

The end result is that all the food ends up in Jiang Chengsi’s stomach.

This person not only takes advantage by eating but also critiques the taste of the food ungratefully.

"You live in Hexi; if you want to mooch a meal, go to big brother’s place. Why do you keep coming to my house?" Jiang Jinsang frowned.

"If I go there, I’ll just be amusing the kids. Last time I took Jiangjiang and Taotao out to play, let them eat a little more ice cream, and Taotao ended up with a stomachache. Second brother gave me a look that wanted to swallow me whole." Jiang Chengsi clicked his tongue.

"Last Children’s Day, second brother didn’t want to go on stage and made me do it for him. Primarily because Taotao begged me, I couldn’t refuse. In the end, Taotao played Little Red Riding Hood, and I had to cross-dress as the Granny Wolf."

"Sister-in-law managed the costumes and props, which I understood. But you know what he said? He was responsible for story composition and plot planning. Can you believe that arrogance?"

"And then, there was a time when I accompanied Jiangjiang to play soccer, he didn’t want to play, saying he’s too old to run, so made me do it and my leg hurt for two days."

...

Jiang Chengsi complained about the scoundrel brother’s misdeeds, while Tang Wan sat beside and found it quite amusing.

Since the wrap party ended, everyone has become very busy, leaving just Tang Wan at home gestating, relatively idle, with no one needing her help in anything. When one has too much spare time, it’s easy to overthink.

Especially, it’s summer vacation now, and there are many videos online teaching kids how to do homework.

The so-called "Driving Parents Crazy Series."

Watching the videos just for fun, but thinking about it afterward, Tang Wan worries that she might become one of those driven insane.

However, seeing Jiangjiang and Taotao, she feels kids are adorable.

Later she realized, the ones you find adorable are usually other people’s children.

As for your own, you just wish...

As it came time for Tang Wan’s prenatal check-up, Grandpa Shen also got out of the hospital.

Ever since "escaping" the hospital the night of the wrap party and getting caught by Zhou Zhongqing, who made things difficult for the head nurse, he cooperated actively with the treatment.

Probably hoping to escape Zhou Zhongqing’s "clutches," he was discharged earlier than expected. In contrast, Qi Zeyan, whose type of injuries requires prolonged rest, is still not a patient who can stay put.

It’s said he got too excited playing games, kicked something, causing his barely healed injuries to worsen.

The result is Grandpa Shen out of the hospital, while he’s still lying in there.

On the day Grandpa Shen was discharged, the elderly lady originally wanted to invite them to the Jiang Mansion for a meal, but the Huo Family sent an invite first.

Both Huo Zheng and his wife were transferred back to Beijing ahead of time, and even Huo Qinqi specially returned from his workplace, intending to host them for a meal.

Tang Yunxian had been in Beijing taking care of the old man, so naturally, the Huo Family invited him and Tang Wan.

Having stayed so long in Beijing, Tang Wan initially worried about her grandpa being alone at home and wanted Jiang Jinsang to bring him to live in Beijing.

But he complained about Beijing’s heat, dryness, and stubbornly refused to go north.

He even mentioned recently there’s a Tai Chi competition, and he’s team-building with some old folks in the small park, preparing to participate, and asked Tang Wan to buy two performance outfits online, living comfortably.

Tang Yunxian worried about him, phoned him every day, only to be reprimanded:

"For so many years, you haven’t been filial to the person next to them. Just take good care of them; don’t keep focusing on me."

"Calling me for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, aren’t you annoyed?"

"I’m very busy and have no time to deal with you."

"You might as well find yourself a sweetheart instead of worrying about me."

...

Tang Yunxian, rebuked by this, couldn’t randomly bother him anymore, especially since he was still urged to find a partner at his age.

However, whenever Tang Wan called, Grandpa Tang always had a soft tone, calling her beloved granddaughter, telling her to take care of her health and claiming he would visit Beijing once the Tai Chi competition finished.

The saying about affection skipping a generation seems true.

**

The day Grandpa Shen was discharged was still blazing hot. To go to the Huo Family for a meal, the old man dressed meticulously, changing several outfits, repeatedly asking Tang Wan if he looked good.

"I still think the first one looks best." Tang Wan said, resting her cheek in her hand, "Grandpa, it’s just a meal after all."

"Even for just a meal, one must dress sharply. We might discuss Shuci’s wedding, so one must dress with some authority."

Initially, the Huo Family intended to have the wedding before the year’s end, assuming Huo Zheng and his wife would return late upon the transfer order. Unexpectedly, the order came early, accelerating their plans.

So this meal might not only celebrate the old man’s discharge.

"Before when they got engaged, you claimed the timing was rushed, too hurried. Now they’re talking about marriage, and you’re more eager than anyone. Have you come to like Brother Huo?" Tang Wan teased.

"Who said I like that lad." Grandpa Shen snorted, "It’s just that Shuci likes him; what can I do."

Actually, Grandpa Shen always felt a bit guilty towards Huo Qinqi, causing him to shoulder the responsibility during the wrap party.

Thinking it through, apart from being cold and not speaking much, this lad has nothing much to pick faults with.

During his post-surgery recovery when movement was hard, Huo Qinqi even took care of him without despising this old man, quite commendable.

No one likes doing annoying things, it’s better to accept it joyfully.

The old man changed into an outfit, due to his head injury before, especially wore a hat to cover the sore spot, looking spirited and tidy.

On the discharge day, his face glowed, looking very lively.

Thinking about moving into a new home by evening, he wondered how to respond next if the Huo Family indeed proposed marriage arrangements.

Glancing at Tang Wan’s rounded belly, he felt lately there have been joy after joy.

Little did he know an even bigger surprise awaited him ahead.
