Chapter 1092: Chapter 643: The Most Scheming Jiang Xiaowu, Xiaosi Keeps Getting Set Up (Part 2)
He casually said:
"Grandma, this kind of thing is hard to say. Last time I saw Mrs. Si, she kept staring at Fourth Brother and even gave him food, being very friendly to him. Surely, the impression must be good."
Jiang Chengsi held a rattle in his hand, wishing he could throw it at his head.
What nonsense is he spouting!
"Is Xiaowu telling the truth?" Among the four grandsons of the Jiang family, the grandmother was most worried about Jiang Chengsi, and now her eyes were practically sparkling as she looked at him.
"Well... she just handed me some food, which only shows that Mrs. Si is kind-hearted. How does that mean she has designs on me?"
Jiang Chengsiâs head was spinning, wishing he could murder Jiang Xiaowu, the bastard!
Fan Mingyu looked at Jiang Chengsiâs exasperated and fiery state, and with a quiet laugh, glanced at the grandmother, "Mom, I heard the Si Family is looking for a live-in son-in-law, Chengsi he..."
The grandmother snorted lightly, "So whatâs wrong with a live-in son-in-law? As long as someone is willing, our family would even provide some dowry support."
Jiang Chengsi was speechless.
Meanwhile, Xiaowaiâs neck stuck out, tilting its head, chirping away, seemingly quite excited.
...
Later, the conversation shifted to Qi Zeyan and Ruan Mengxi, changing the subject, and Jiang Chengsi breathed a sigh of relief. Passing by Jiang Jinsang, he glared fiercely at him.
Why is this kid so evil!
Whatâs wrong with me being single? Iâm not eating your food or drinking your water, why always push me into the pit?
Iâm single and proud!
Second Brotherâs two kids, though old enough to stay quiet, need tutoring every day, and there are parent-child activities, which are quite busy. Jiang Xiaowuâs childcare is even tougher, and over there with Qi Zeyan... even the father-in-law is hard to deal with.
To sum it up:
Itâs better to be single!
One person is well-fed, the whole family is not hungry!
But the more he thought this, the more things went against his wishes, underestimating Jiang Jinsangâs deviousness.
After dinner, everyone was still chatting around the table. Jiang Chengsi was planning to leave, but Jiang Jinsang called him back.
"Fourth Brother, wait a minute, I have something to give you."
"Donât give me any food, I donât like eating those." When Jiang Xiaowai was born, it caused a big fuss, with almost daily delivery of things, food and drinks, all sorts. Not able to finish himself, when Jiang Chengsi visited, he would always have him take something home.
"Itâs not food."
Jiang Jinsang went upstairs, took about five or six minutes, and came down with something red like an envelope, handing it to her.
"Itâs an invitation to the Si Familyâs full moon banquet. You live on the east side, close by, and Mrs. Si thinks highly of you, so please deliver it."
Jiang Chengsi looked baffled, not realizing until the full moon invitation was shoved into his hand.
"No, Xiaowu..."
"I need to go coax the kids, Iâm counting on you, Fourth Brother."
Jiang Chengsi turned to look at everyone at the dining table, and they all seemed not to notice, completely ignoring him.
What the hell?
Why does it have to be him.
He doesnât even know this family, itâs so awkward.
...
When Jiang Jinsang went upstairs, Tang Wan asked quietly, "Why are you making things difficult for Fourth Brother?"
"Heâs too idle every day, giving him something to do."
"..."
"He doesnât know the Si Family, this..."
"I almost forgot, thereâs another invitation to give him."
Jiang Chengsi was still annoyed, having overheard them say that many came recently to curry favor with the Si Family, but they kept the doors shut, asking him to deliver something, deliberately sending him to hit a wall?
How to deliver this!
Or find a local courier? Seems impolite, given itâs an invitation.
He looked at the invitation in his hand, as if holding a hot potato.
Just as he was about to leave, Jiang Jinsang called him again.
"Fourth Brother, hold on!"
"What are you up to now!" Jiang Chengsi looked defensive. Inevitably, encountering him meant trouble.
Is this kid babysitting lately, becoming problematic and always targeting him?
"Hereâs another invitation for him."
"Whoâs this one for?"
"âMiss Xiao,â didnât we agree youâd help invite? This is her invitation."
"Who?" Jiang Chengsi was puzzled again, "âMiss Xiaoâ?"
"What âMiss Xiao,â which girl is this." The grandmother was clearly at a distance from them, yet somehow her ears became sharp suddenly.
Especially hearing that Jiang Chengsi had a new situation.
"Sheâs Wanwanâs customer, with some ties to Fourth Brother." Jiang Jinsang said.
"What ties! I barely know her." Jiang Chengsi was about to lose it, todayâs purpose was clearly to mess with him, "When did I agree to invite her?"
"I called you before, you promised emphatically."
"I donât remember."
"Are you playing dumb with me?"
"..." Jiang Chengsi truly didnât remember, "Are you tricking me?"
"I have a recording."
"..."
"Which girl is this?" The grandmother was getting anxious, "Do I know her? Have I met?"
Jiang Jinsang laughed, "You havenât met her."
"Wanwanâs customer, Iâve met her, the girl often came to Wanwan for custom work, frequently visited us, very polite, quite pretty." The old man spoke, "Speaks softly, is this girl also in Beijing? A nice young lady."
"Since Wanwanâs customer, how do you know her?" The grandmother scrutinized Jiang Chengsi, with a critical look.
"I..." Jiang Chengsi didnât know how to explain the relationship, "Anyway, weâre not familiar! Grandma, donât let your imagination run wild."
The grandmother frowned, looked at Jiang Jinsang, "Xiaowu, am I imagining things again?"
Jiang Jinsang chuckled, "Fourth Brother once asked Wanwan for her contact information. I donât know if theyâre familiar, but this invitation, is your promise to me, so itâs up to you."
Without any option, another invitation was handed to him.
One invitation was already enough for Jiang Chengsi to have headaches, two more?
He met the âMiss Xiaoâ for a meal once, hadnât contacted again, suddenly looking for her, would be awkward.
The grandmother brightened more hearing that Jiang Chengsi proactively asked for a contact.
That look clearly said:
You kid got it, finally have some understanding?
Jiang Chengsi was dizzy, knowing now, he wouldnât have come for the meal at all.
**
On the way home, he was furious, called Jiang Shiyi to complain.
"...Bro, donât you think Xiaowu is outrageous, I asked for contact to thank, yet turned into something entirely different in his mouth."
"If not for considering that my nephew is young, needs a dad, and sister-in-law is in bed rest, Iâd really beat this punk up."
Jiang Chengsi truly wanted to pin Jiang Jinsang to the ground and hammer him hard.
"I planned to go skiing soon, now stuck with two hot potatoes, I donât know what to do, point is, I donât remember agreeing to anything."
...
Jiang Chengsi muttered, complained thoroughly, while the person on the other end stayed silent.
"Bro? Are you still there?"
"I am." Jiang Shiyi was writing a report, "Are you done?"
"Finished."
"Youâre like a bitter woman, or an old nag."
"..."
"I have things to do, hanging up now."
Before Jiang Chengsi could say more, he heard busy signals, took a deep breath, and slammed the steering wheel.
Brother doesnât care, grandma doesnât love, plus a brother digging pits for him! Life is unbearable, might as well truly marry into a family.
