Chapter 1438: Chapter 825: Jiang Family Meeting: Getting Married? Got the Girl Pregnant? (3)
Jiang Zhenhuan cleared his throat; he was a straightforward person who spoke without beating around the bush.
Without any warning, when everyone was completely unprepared, he blurted out:
"Shiyi is getting married."
"Pfftââ" The old ladyâs fingertips trembled, and the hot tea in her hand almost spilled.
The other members of the Jiang Family were relatively composed, surprised but not overly obvious about it. However, Jiang Chengsi, eating seeds until his mouth was dry, had just picked up his coffee for a sip when he choked directly, splattering his phone screen with coffee stains, and hurriedly raised his hand to wipe it, accidentally severing the video call.
"What the hell!" Jiang Chengsi frowned.
Whatâs going on!
He had been thinking that his brother hadnât even brought a girlfriend home to meet everyone, let alone marriage, which was just a vague possibility.
Now, whatâs this about?
Directly skipping to marriage without meeting the parents or an engagement!
His brother sure was something, sharp-tongued and unyielding, with such an unusual style, never following the conventional path.
...
And on the Jiang Familyâs side, everyoneâs reactions were equally spectacular, especially the old lady, who put down her cup and asked Jiang Zhenhuan with a trembling voice, "Zhenhuan, youâre not joking with me, are you?"
"No."
"Whose daughter? How come... getting married?" The old lady did want Jiang Shiyi to be in a relationship, but this was too sudden.
"Donât know, he didnât say."
"You..." Frustrated, the old lady directly picked up the landline phone on the side and dialed Jiang Shiyi.
Jiang Shiyi glanced at the caller ID, then at the three Lin Family members, "Aunt and Uncle, itâs a call from home, Iâll take it." He said as he headed towards the Lin Familyâs balcony.
The Lin Family parents also hurriedly pulled their daughter into the bedroom, similarly having things to ask her.
...
As soon as Jiang Shiyi answered the phone, he heard the old ladyâs slightly anxious voice, "Shiyi, whatâs going on?"
"Did Uncle not tell you?" Compared to the old ladyâs bewilderment, a certain party involved seemed exceedingly calm.
"You know what kind of person your uncle is, right? He doesnât say much normally, and about things like this, even more so."
The Jiang Family was very concerned about Jiang Shiyiâs affairs, and when the old lady made the call, it was on speaker.
Jiang Zhenhuan: "..."
If you want to talk, why attack people?
Jiang Shiyi spoke directly: "I plan to get married, but this needs both familiesâ elders to sit down and discuss."
"I know that, but why so suddenly? Without warning. Where are you now, come home, and explain it to me face-to-face." Itâs hard to clarify things over the phone.
"I might not be able to come back now." Jiang Shiyi pressed his lips tightly.
"Why not come back? You..." The old lady frowned, "Are you with her?"
"Iâm at her house, given the current situation, I might not be able to return conveniently." Jiang Shiyi didnât clarify things, his first time "acting suspiciously," caught by Lin Luyouâs father, he couldnât possibly explain this to his family.
Since Jiang Shiyi didnât speak, the Jiang Family started speculating.
Especially the old lady, itâs early morning, six or seven oâclock, at a young girlâs house, suddenly mentioning marriage, unable to come back...
Jiang Chengsiâs video call had been cut off earlier, but had finally reconnected, just catching his breath, wanting to ask where the family meeting was happening but hadnât spoken yet, when he heard Grandma tentatively say:
"Shiyi, they wonât let you leave, wanting you to be responsible, hence needing to marry urgently..." Grandmaâs voice was hesitant, "Did you..."
"Get the young girl pregnant?"
Everyone in the Jiang Family: "..."
Jiang Chengsi almost vomited blood, what the hell? Has it escalated to this alarming point already?
He had only left for a few minutes, how had this progressed to even having a child?
