Chapter 1028: Chapter 608: Jiang Xiaosi Returns as the Relationship Expert: Why Care About Her? You Have No Right (Update 2)
Jiang Mansion
As night fell, the wind picked up. The little one was initially sleeping soundly, but the gusts rattled the windows, rustling the leaves outside, and he seemed restless, starting to whimper.
Jiang Jinsang was leaning against the headboard reading a book. Seeing him sleep unsteadily, he got up and cradled him for a while.
"Whatâs wrong with him?" After dinner, Tang Wan had taken a short nap. "Let me hold him."
Unexpectedly, when she held the little guy in her arms, he suddenly became uneasy and started crying loudly. In the end, it was Jiang Jinsang who had to soothe him.
This made Tang Wan feel deeply hurt. After carrying him for ten months and giving birth to him, he wasnât close to her?
She picked up her phone and glanced at it; Ruan Mengxi had sent her quite a few messages.
There were photos and voice messages.
She clicked to listen.
"Boss Yun recommended a pretty good Huaiyang restaurant. Once youâre out of confinement, Iâll treat you to a meal."
"He was the guest tonight when we went out to eat together. I really didnât expect to run into him here; you say isnât it fate that we live so close yet never bumped into each other?"
"Iâm also planning to invite him over for dinner this weekend, but he has two shows, so Iâm not sure if heâll be free."
...
Tang Wan fell asleep. Ruan Mengxi had sent seven or eight voice messages, and after listening to them all at once, she exchanged glances with Jiang Jinsang.
Obviously, neither had thought that not only did they have dinner together, but they also scheduled the next meeting.
Jiang Jinsang held his son, pacing around the room. It seemed that Zeyan would have a lot to deal with on his end.
"Does this Boss Yun like her now?" Jiang Jinsang looked at Tang Wan.
"Iâm not sure, I havenât seen him in a long time, but heâs matured a lot. He used to only know how to sing, but now he can at least communicate with people well, and our relationship is purely professional, without discussing personal matters."
Tang Wan leaned against the headboard. "I can see that Zeyan views Xixi differently now, so I gave a little reminder."
"As for how far the two of them will go, I canât manage that."
Besides, she was currently in confinement, unable to concern herself with it.
Jiang Jinsang nodded, glanced out the window at the swirling clouds. "It seems there will be heavy snow tomorrow or the day after."

Inside the club
Jiang Chengsi had escaped from the mansion, gone to a repair shop, tinkered and modified a new racing car, took two trial runs at the club track, and then went to inspect the club.
As soon as he arrived, the manager told him, "Young Master Qi is here."
"Heâs here?" Jiang Chengsi frowned. That guy had dinner at their mansion tonight, so why didnât he go home after dinner and came here instead?
Just because of his grandfatherâs words today, he was attacked by his grandma, feeling irritated inside, and now here comes this guy.
Jiang Chengsi took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, ready to settle scores, but upon entering, the room was dimly lit, and the TV on one side was playing some songs â
[Decency], [Heartbreak Frontline Alliance], [Lonely Fireworks]...
There were drinks on the table, but he hardly touched them, staring blankly while holding a glass.
Someone hiding in the corner, feeling lonely and emotional.
Jiang Chengsi was thinking about giving him a couple of slaps to vent his anger but seeing him like this, he sat down beside him. "Whatâs up?"
"I feel like Iâm about to have a breakup."
"Have you been in love?"
"..." Qi Zeyan glared at him.
"Didnât you just tell Grandpa Qi that you have a situation? Whatâs happened? Grandpa Qi doesnât like Xiaoruan and plans to break up the couple?" Jiang Chengsi grabbed a small plate of popcorn from the table, tossing kernels into his mouth with a crunch. He could think of nothing else but the Qi family disapproving.
"If you really like Xiaoruan, elope with her."
"Why make yourself so miserable?"
"Itâs nothing to do with my family." Qi Zeyan never felt any crisis before, even if Ruan Mengxi was not working at his company; she was still nearby, very close.
"Then whatâs up? Tell me, let me have a laugh."
"Get lost!" Qi Zeyan grabbed the popcorn and threw it at his face.
But Jiang Chengsi knew more about Qi Zeyan and Ruan Mengxiâs situation. He trusted him because he had previously analyzed emotional issues for him, so he briefly told him the situation.
"...I thought it was something serious, but thereâs just a guy, right? Youâre scared? Or do you think youâre not as good as him?"
"I definitely beat him, that guy looks like a woman, where do I lack masculinity?" Qi Zeyan wouldnât admit he was inferior.
"Then what are you afraid of?" Jiang Chengsi didnât get it.
"Theyâve known each other longer than me and seem very familiar and close."
The main issue is that Ruan Mengxi is now more affectionate to him than to himself.
"So what? When pursuing a girlfriend, everyone relies on their ability. Knowing earlier so what? He hasnât won her over, what are you worried about?"
"You donât understand." Qi Zeyan could clearly sense that this person was different from other men.
"Actually, worrying is useless. What right do you have to control her? Are your relationship official? What is she to you? Do you have the right to manage the men around her?"
Gosh ââ
A stab straight to the heart!
There was nothing harsher than this.
"Iâm telling you, when dealing with a rival in love, thatâs secondary. What matters most is who Xiaoruan likes. If she likes you, even if there are dozens of men pursuing her, none can compare to you; itâll break without a fight."
"If she doesnât like you, even if you drive all the men around her away, so what?"
"The root of the problem lies not with others but with Xiaoruan."
...
Jiang Chengsi was completely talking nonsense.
He was drawing an analogy because playing with cars operates similarly; car performance is one aspect, but the crucial factor is still the driverâs skill and control over the car.
When analyzing issues, you have to grasp the root cause.
Qi Zeyan, however, listened intently.
He made sense. He didnât have the right to manage rivals now; itâs more important to chase after her.
"Jiang Chengsi, I never expected you to have such insight into relationship issues." He had been depressed, but hearing those words brought a sudden enlightenment.
"Youâre just confused being involved. Theyâre not even dating, but you act like youâre heartbroken. Can you not be so down?"
"I understand."
Because Ruan Mengxi never had anyone like this around before. She always kept a certain distance from men. With this man, itâs noticeably different.
"By the way, whatâs this manâs name? Want me to help investigate a bit? Although the key lies with Xiaoruan, knowing the enemy is still better, understand your opponent and yourself."
"Heâs called..." Qi Zeyan was momentarily dazed, suddenly forgetting his name. "I think itâs called something Crane..."
"Something Crane?" Jiang Chengsi continued to munch on popcorn.
"Called Yun Zhonghe!"
"Coughâ" Jiang Chengsi was immediately choked by the popcorn, "Thereâs a flower-picking thief by the same name among the Four Evildoers in âThe Eight Trigrams.â"
Qi Zeyan snorted lightly, "I thought the name sounded familiar, knew that guy wasnât anything special. Unexpectedly, the nameâs not great either. Who gave him such a name?"
"Thatâs not your concern; you just need to confirm you like Xiaoruan and go for her. Once you win her over, it doesnât matter if itâs a Crane, Sparrow, or whatever."
"I know."
"Rest assured, with matters like this, as a brother, Iâm definitely supporting you. If you need help, just say it."
"Mm." Qi Zeyan felt considerably enlightened after talking with Jiang Chengsi.
...
Jiang Chengsi saw his expression relaxed greatly, patting his shoulder, "So donât worry about these things, listening to such soul-crushing songs. Iâll change the song for you, letâs switch up the mood."
"What kind of songs are these? No energy at all. Brother will play you something more lively."
"To lift your spirits."
Jiang Chengsi said and went to choose a song.
Qi Zeyan, after hearing his speech, became enlightened.
Right, I canât control her now; better to focus on Ruan Mengxi instead of watching other men.
Once he figured this out, he took a sip from his glass, and just then the TV screen abruptly switched.
Amidst the noisy drum beats, a clear female voice arose:
The first note nearly choked Qi Zeyan.
[Good Luck, I wish you good luck, good luck brings joy and love â]
"Pfft ââ" The drink choked him, flushing his face red.
He stared at Jiang Chengsi intensely, who surprisingly selected [Good Luck], smiling at him, "How about it, this song has a good meaning, can help you change your luck, boost your spirits, donât just stand there, get hyped up."
How can I get hyped? Do you want me to bounce along with the rhythm into a disco?
Qi Zeyan might sorely want to splash the drink onto his face.
Did Jiang Familyâs children really not get swapped at the Hospital back then?
