Chapter 1378: Chapter 790: An Invitation to Go Hiking from My Brother? Out All Night_2
Jiang Shiyi nodded in response and glanced at Jiang Chengsi before leaving, "I heard youâre on break recently. Letâs meet tomorrow morning."
"Bro, no, bro..." Jiang Chengsi was speechless.
Iâve finally gotten two days off, planned to sleep in, spend time with my girlfriend, whoâs gonna go climbing with you.
The main thing is, everyoneâs been in a bad mood lately, especially his brother. Back then, Jiang Shiyi was the first to find out their eldest brother had committed suicide and always felt that if he had noticed earlier, it might not have happened. Heâs always felt guilty.
He felt that going hiking with his brother at this time...
His brother might push him off a cliff!
"Third brother is really nice," Si Qingxiao drank someone elseâs water and naturally began sweet-talking about third brother.
"Haâthatâs because you havenât lived with him."
...
Jiang Shiyi had already walked to the elderly ladyâs side. Today, the Jiang Family outing was all couples except for Jiang Shiyi, who was alone. The elderly lady inevitably had to chide him a couple of times, urging him to hurry.
"Seeing your younger brother dating, donât you have any thoughts?" The elderly lady, leaning on a cane, was breathing heavily after climbing a few steps, being old.
Jiang Shiyi remained silent...
Itâs not like he doesnât have anyone, why would he need any thoughts.
"Shiyi, donât set your standards so high. Try out with a suitable girl, donât spend every day soaked in the lab."
"Do you really not have any hope with that group leader Lin? Sheâs actually quite nice."
The elderly lady nagged, giving Jiang Shiyi a long ideological lecture until they reached the place for the memorial, then stopped. Fresh flowers and fruit platters were already placed before the tombstone, obviously someone had been here.
Si Qingxiao glanced at the photo on the tombstone, seemed like a very gentle person, unlike the Jiang brothers, quite different.
**
After the memorial, Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang went to the Huo Family to pick up the children, staying for dinner in passing, while Si Qingxiao originally intended to leave but was forcibly kept for a meal by the elderly lady.
Later in the afternoon, she accompanied her to Peach Garden to watch opera, after all this hustle, it was already evening.
Every year on the anniversary, the Jiang brothers along with Qi Zeyan, Huo Qinqi, as long as theyâre in Beijing and available, they gather together, itâs become a customary tradition. Jiang Chengsi also wanted to take this opportunity to introduce her to his friends.
Huo Qinqi wasnât in Beijing, the main introduction was to Qi Zeyan.
Many in the Beijing circle knew this group would choose today for a small gathering, some were already waiting early at the club, hoping for an "accidental" meeting.
In the past, it was usually "accidentally meeting" Qi Zeyan or Jiang Yanting more, since theyâre in business, most people approached for collaboration and profit.
This year is different; almost everyone is coming for Jiang Chengsi.
Ever since his affair with Si Qingxiao was exposed, the Beijing circle was completely stirred up. Initially, some speculated that the Si Family wouldnât approve of him, but recently Si Yushan frequently took him to various events, everyone could smell something.
Lately, Beijing has been strictly cracking down on various entertainment venues, but the bar and club under Jiang Chengsiâs name suddenly saw a surge in revenue, everyone knew he occasionally visited, hoping for a chance encounter.
With confirmation that heâd be at the club today, even more came for an "accidental" meeting.
Yet Jiang Chengsi took Si Qingxiao through the back entrance directly into a private room, avoiding everyone.
When they arrived at the private room, Jiang Jinsang and others were already there, including Huo Ran joining the fun, except for Qi Zeyan and Ruan Mengxi being late.
When the two arrived, Jiang Chengsi was already shouting for them to drink three penalty shots.
"You have the nerve to make me drink penalties! If it werenât for you running off to do business and causing Xixi to work overtime till now, would I be this late?"
Jiang Chengsi glanced at Ruan Mengxi, "Did I make you work overtime?"
Ruan Mengxi grinned reluctantly, "It was my voluntary choice."
The boss went gallivanting at another company all to chase a wife, what could they, the employees, say?
"By the way, let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend..." Jiang Chengsi introduced Si Qingxiao to Qi Zeyan.
"Hello, Iâm Qi Zeyan." Considering it was the first private meeting with Si Qingxiao, Qi Zeyan still acted seriously.
Truth be told, the whole way here, he was discussing Si Qingxiao with Ruan Mengxi.
When they got engaged, Si Qingxiao didnât give a heads-up, just whisked Jiang Chengsi away, it seemed quite unreliable, extremely unmindful, yet at the birthday banquet, she shone brilliantly, planning meticulously, exceptionally shrewd.
They really couldnât see through the young lady in front of them.
