Chapter 1259: Chapter 732: Unusual CP Engagement, Xiaosi Gets Drunk and Is Kidnapped? (Part 2)
Although afterward Jiang Chengsi received a message from Si Qingxiao:
[He may be my uncle, but heās just my uncle.]
The words were quite artful, acknowledging the family relation, yet seemingly distancing herself from him. Since You Hongxian got kicked out, he clearly did something, and Si Qingxiao seems unwilling to associate with him.
The You Family is her maternal family, after all, and some things are not suitable to disclose too much to Jiang Chengsi.
So she kept her words brief, thinking Jiang Chengsi would understand.
She just overestimated Jiang Chengsiās intelligence; this silly fool has already plunged into the river of love, leaving no room for rationality.
He thought, what if You Hongxian, being so shameless, stirs up trouble at the Si Family?
Leading to Qi Zeyan and Ruan Mengxiās engagement day, someone was still frowning.
"Fourth Brother, today Xixi and Zeyan are getting engaged, can you at least look a bit happier?" Tang Wan was amused and exasperated. People are getting married, and here you are sulking, itās not appropriate.
"Alright." Jiang Chengsi squeezed out a faint smile from the corner of his mouth.
"So ugly, you might as well not smile." Jiang Jinsang said bluntly, "If you donāt want to attend the engagement party, just stay home."
"I came to Pingjiang just for the engagement party, why wouldnāt I go, I even prepared gifts for them."
The cult-like CP of Jiang Chengsi and Qi Zeyan has been enduring, even now, some people think he likes men. Heās trying to dispel this idea among people, plus Qi Zeyan is getting engaged, which genuinely makes him happy.
The gift prepared was exceptionally lavish, besides cash gifts, there was a pair of couple wristwatches, not cheap in price.
It could even be said itās the most expensive gift among all the guests.
But people are getting engaged, and you gift a watch?
It just feels odd.
Especially since itās a gift given by Jiang Chengsi, itās even more peculiar.
The main issue is, once he entered the banquet hall, he activated a cold and aloof mode, as if strangers shouldnāt approach, completely out of character.
Someone went over to greet him, and he did smile, but it felt fake, like a "fake smile" boy.
"Whatās up with Fourth Lord today? Seems not very happy."
"Qiās getting engaged, how could he be happy? Look at his face, like heās here to mess things up."
"Is there really some unknown past between him and Qi?"
"Look at his face, obvious heās displeased, yet here to congratulate at the engagement? Suddenly reminds one of the deeply affectionate yet reserved protagonist from novels."
...
This even reached Tang Wan.
Jiang Xiaowai was here, quite popular, and Ruan Mengxiās parents even gave him a small gift, seemingly prepared for New Yearās, never handed over.
Tang Wan was pulled into a conversation, talking and talking, someone suddenly asked her mysteriously, "Whatās the real relationship between Fourth Lord and Qi?"
"Fourth Brother?" Tang Wan was puzzled, "Just good brothers."
"Socialist brotherhood?"
Tang Wan didnāt understand what that meant, brotherhood is just brotherhood, why add a socialist prefix, she just nodded.
The girl exploded.
"I knew it, Iāve never supported the wrong CP."
"?"
Tang Wan watched her bouncing away, unclear of what was going on.
Later she checked her phone and understood the meaning, but when she tried to clarify, the girl didnāt seem to believe her, misunderstanding continued.
Looking at Jiang Chengsi hiding in a corner, indifferent with heavy heart, no wonder everyone misunderstood.
She went to give him a gentle reminder.
"Fourth Brother, itās their engagement today, can you be a bit happier?"
"I am quite happy." Jiang Chengsi probably didnāt know how much was going on emotionally on his face.
"Werenāt you and Zeyan before..." Tang Wan cleared her throat, "you keeping that face could easily cause misunderstandings. You know what I mean?"
Jiang Chengsi was dumbfounded.
The rumors between him and Qi Zeyan were always false, if they really had something, given their personalities, it would cause quite the stir, how come itās still believed?
"Who said this? Iāll have a good talk with them." Jiang Chengsi was furious.
What, doesnāt he have the right to wallow in self-pity?
He hadnāt done a thing, even gifted generously, yet still gets bashed.
Jiang Chengsi probably didnāt understand that some CP fans consider any two of them together as enough of a treat, and Jiang Chengsi always has been rather flamboyant and unrestrained in public.
