Chapter 1368: Chapter 784: Is the Fool Blessed with Dumb Luck? Even Heaven Is Helping Him? (3 Updates)
The old lady thought about it. This was Si Qingxiaoās first time coming to their house, her family was definitely waiting for her, and it really wasnāt appropriate for her to stay over.
Sheād originally only planned to let her rest a bit, drink some sobering tea and leave when she felt better. Looking at her like this, if she took a car home now, with even the slightest bump, sheād probably throw up.
No one in the Jiang Family had planned to make her drink, much less urge her to. It was just that later, during the round of toasts, this little girl was too honest. Almost every time she was toasted and toasted back, her cup was filled to the brim, and she drank a little too quickly, so she ended up getting herself drunk.
Si Qingxiao was indeed drunk. Her mind was actually clear, but it was like her body wasnāt under her control, everything felt floaty and woozy.
"Sobering tea." Tang Wan didnāt hand the tea to her, but gave it to Jiang Chengsi instead, afraid she couldnāt hold it steady.
"Xiaoxiao..." Jiang Chengsi sat beside her, his voice unusually gentle.
"Mm?"
"Sobering tea, drink a little."
Sobering tea mostly doesnāt smell that good. Si Qingxiao frowned, clearly not too willing to drink it.
"Be good, have two sips."
Everyone in the Jiang Family: "..."
They were all still here. Could he maybe mind the occasion a little?
This Jiang Chengsi, usually he was a rough guy, sometimes even impulsive and reckless. For him to suddenly be this delicate and gentleāhow could that not be shocking?
"People always say love changes you, makes you stupid. Seems itās not wrong." Tang Wan said with a smile.
Jiang Jinsang replied, "If you saw what heās like when heās working or studying, youād say love doesnāt just change a person, it mightāve swapped his brain out too."
Jiang Chengsi studied business, and picked it up extremely fast. If heād worked this hard back when he was in school, Grandma wouldāve never had to worry about his studies again.

After drinking half a cup of sobering tea, maybe the aftereffect of the green plum wine kicked in. Leaning against Jiang Chengsiās shoulder, Si Qingxiao grew drowsy, like she wanted to fall asleep.
The old lady was just about to have the driver take the two of them home when it started raining outsideānot a fine, drizzly rain, but a sudden downpour, sheets of rain dumping from the sky.
The forecast hadnāt said thereād be rain tonight, and it came so fast and so hard that the Jiang Family hurried to shut all the doors and windows.
Si Yushan stood by the window, watching the rain get heavier, and frowned slightly. He called Si Qingxiao again to ask where her car was and about what time sheād get home.
He hadnāt expected the one to pick up to be the Jiang Familyās old lady.
"Madam Jiang..." As a junior, Si Yushan kept his attitude fairly humble.
"Iām really sorry, Xiaoxiao is at our house. She had a bit to drink tonight. I had planned to let her drink some sobering tea and wait till she felt better before sending her back, but now itās started raining. Sheās fine though..." The old lady was a bit embarrassed too. "Iām so sorry for worrying you."
"Itās fine, itās fine, as long as sheās okay."
"The rainās too heavy, itās not safe to drive in weather like this. So I was thinking... why donāt we just let her stay the night at our place? Weāve got clean guest rooms, and Iāll take good care of her."
The rain was too heavy; the old lady was worried something might happen on the road.
"Donāt worry, however your daughter came to our house, Iāll definitely hand her back to you safe and sound." What she meant was to reassure Si Yushan that they wouldnāt take advantage of his daughter.
"Please donāt say that, Iām just afraid weāre troubling you too much." With things said this far, all Si Yushan could do was agree. "Then Iāll trouble you with her. Tomorrow morning Iāll send someone over to pick her up."
"No need to send someone, Iāll have Chengsi take her back."
Jiang Chengsi had gone to help close the doors and windows. As soon as he came back, the old lady informed him:
"Take her upstairs to rest."
"Upstairs?"
"Sheās staying at our place tonight, in the guest room. And you, brat, donāt you dare take her into your own room, and donāt you so much as lay a finger on her."
"..."
What did his grandma take him for, some kind of hooligan?
The old lady would love nothing more than for the two of them to give her a great-grandchild tonight, but this kind of thing couldnāt be rushed, and he couldnāt fool around just because the girl had a bit too much to drink.
Jiang Chengsi helped her into the room, with the old lady watching from the side.
Seeing him wring out a towel and wipe Si Qingxiaoās face, she frowned slightly:
"Can you be a little more gentle? And hey, donāt just wipe her face, wipe her hands too. With how youāre acting, you donāt even know how to take care of a wifeāwhat use are you?"
It wasnāt that Jiang Chengsi couldnāt take care of Si Qingxiao. It was just that having a Supervisor breathing down his neck like this felt terrible.
"Grandma, could you not stare at me?"
"If I donāt stare at you, what if you take advantage of her?"
The old lady wanted to "sell him off," but she couldnāt resort to shady tricks.
"Grandma, what do you take me for? Sheās my girlfriend, I respect her a lot. How could I possibly do anything to her while sheās drunk? You donāt trust my character?"
"You have something called character?"
"..."
Jiang Chengsi was fuming, but there was nothing he could do. After settling Si Qingxiao in, he was kicked out by his grandma and told to get lost to his own room to sleep.
**
Si Yushan started feeling uneasy, pacing around the living room. Barely twenty minutes later, this sudden downpour mysteriously stopped againā
But the Jiang Family had already called over ten minutes ago to say Si Qingxiao was resting, so he couldnāt very well go over now and demand they send her back.
What, even the heavens were helping that punk?
