Chapter 1428: Chapter 819: Recklessly Testing the Limits, Still Have to Accompany His Father-in-law?

Nanjiang

Jiang Chengsi had absolutely no mind to work that day. Mr. Yan knew about what had happened to him in Beijing. Although Yan was short on expression and an extremely quiet, taciturn man, he was all bark and no bite, soft-hearted underneath, and didn’t force Jiang to do anything.

Si Qingxiao was worried he’d lose his temper and storm straight back to Beijing, so she’d been staying with him the whole time.

Right now the two of them were driving along the seaside, out for a spin.

She watched a certain someone stare at his phone, his expression turn from cloudy to sunny, then use his phone to request a song from some radio station. Only then did he tell her what had happened. "Xiaoxiao, tell me, isn’t my brother just asking for trouble?!"

Si Qingxiao gave a muffled laugh. "Actually, Third Brother treats you pretty well. If he didn’t care about you even a little, he wouldn’t have rushed to the bar at all."

Jiang Chengsi almost laughed himself silly. "Just the maintenance on my cars as a set costs a fortune. With my brother’s little salary, he really is working hard for it."

Right then, after a short commercial break, the radio host started talking again with a smile:

"...This is FM... I don’t know if everyone still remembers that earlier there was a gentleman who didn’t want to reveal his name and requested a song for his older brother. Turns out his brother has already heard it, and just called in."

Jiang Chengsi frowned.

"This gentleman wants us to tell his younger brother that he’s received his good intentions."

"He’s now also requested a song for his little brother, and hopes that gentleman is still listening to my program right now. Next up, please listen to—"

"’Waiting for You to Come Home.’"

Jiang Chengsi almost choked on his own saliva.

What the hell?

At that moment his phone buzzed. It was a message from Jiang Shiyi: [Make sure you listen to the radio.]

Damn, his brother was definitely warning him.

Si Qingxiao sat in the passenger seat, trying hard not to laugh. Honestly, sometimes she really couldn’t figure out how Jiang Chengsi’s brain was wired.

It’s not like he’s never going home again in this lifetime, so why does he have to provoke his brother, crazily testing the limits on the edge of death?

Is it really just for that momentary thrill? He really is going to get himself killed one of these days.

The fact that he’s managed to grow up safe and sound till now is truly not easy.

Just then her phone started vibrating. Jiang Chengsi raised his hand and turned off the radio. She picked up. "Hello, Dad."

Jiang Chengsi immediately tensed up. The car went especially quiet; he could only catch bits and pieces of the conversation from the other side.

"We’re driving around outside. We’ll go to Uncle Yan’s for dinner a bit later."

"How’s that kid doing?" Today Si Yushan had gone to the Jiang Group, played two rounds of chess with Jiang Zhenhuan, and they actually had a bit of that Hero cherishing Hero, hate-to-meet-so-late feeling. They were planning to eat out, but he still didn’t forget to ask after Jiang Chengsi.

"He’s... fine, I guess." Her father had stood up for a certain someone today and even specially called to check in, clearly thinking Jiang Chengsi would be affected by this incident. If she told her dad that this person had already gone off to live it up...

Her dad would probably be furious enough to drop dead!

"You can’t get through life without a few setbacks. It’s really not a big deal. As long as he himself is clean, I believe that even if someone throws dirty water on him, he can still come out of the mud unsullied."

"I know, I’ll tell him." Si Qingxiao pressed her lips together.

"Your Uncle Yan and I have already talked it over. Things at work are not too busy recently. If you have time, stay with him a bit more and come back a few days later."

Si Qingxiao kept agreeing, and was already starting to get a headache...

Why would her dad think Jiang Chengsi was badly hit by this and needed comforting?

After this whole thing, Si Qingxiao felt she’d finally seen through it: this person’s self-adjustment ability was very strong. All that noisy gossip in Beijing didn’t affect him in the slightest. The only thing that dealt him any kind of psychological blow was Jiang Shiyi’s move to confiscate his cars.

She’d actually been quite worried about Jiang Chengsi at first, but in the end he told her:

"It’s not like I’ve been trafficking contraband. I myself am squeaky clean, I’m not afraid of an investigation."

"But people outside are saying really nasty things."

"I’ve heard every nasty word there is. Back when we had that mess at home, a bunch of people cursed me out for currying favor with my uncle’s family, said I didn’t even care about my biological parents and my own little sister, called me cold-blooded. Later, when there were rumors about me and Qi Zeyan, it got even nastier—they said I was twisted and perverted..."

Jiang Chengsi didn’t care at all about the rumors and gossip outside; he’d even joke about it with her, so...

Where exactly did her dad see any sign of fragility in him?

"What did Uncle say?" Jiang Chengsi asked with concern.

"He told me to comfort you."

"Huh?" Even Jiang Chengsi was stunned for a second.

As for Si Yushan’s thinking, he was finding it more and more impossible to figure out.

"Oh right, Mr. Yan said there’s no work tomorrow. Where do you want to go play?" Jiang Chengsi glanced over at the person in the passenger seat. He’d always felt a bit guilty toward Si Qingxiao—she’d come all the way to Nanjiang, and he himself hadn’t had time to properly keep her company.
