Chapter 1813: Side Story – Juniors (63): Confession, Gone Mad, He’s My Boyfriend
Guandong Si Family
Yan Chi and Fu Chen came together, and aside from You Yunzhi and Si Qingxiao busy in the kitchen, everyone else went out to greet them. Seeing them carrying a pile of gifts, there was a round of pleasantries before they finally entered the house.
"...How come you brought so many things, it’s really unnecessary. We just prepared a simple meal, hope you don’t mind." Si Yushan said with a smile.
"Not at all, we’re the ones intruding." Fu Chen was very polite.
"I was the one who forcefully brought you over at the last minute. Didn’t expect to make you spend." Jiang Chengsi led them inside, introducing his nephew Jiang Mutang and Qi Zeyan’s family of four.
Even though they were all in Beijing and knew each other, Jiang Mutang and Qi Lie were unfamiliar faces to the younger generation.
They all sat down in a lively group.
The sudden change in plans was a bit unexpected, and it was more distressing for Fu Chen to find that there were outsiders at the Si household.
"How did you guys meet?" Qi Zeyan asked curiously, "Ran into each other at the arrival hall?"
Fu Chen was curious too, how did Jiang Chengsi find his car so accurately?
"In the parking lot." Jiang Chengsi explained, "His car stands out, plus the license plate makes it hard not to notice."
Fu Chen never thought it would be his license plate that gave him away.
**
The group chatted casually, and soon took their seats at the table.
Jiang Ruan and Yan Chi sat opposite each other, exchanging glances, while Jiang Ruan looked at the crowded table, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
Even when Qi Zhiyi spoke to her, her mind was elsewhere, unaware of what was being said.
Qi Zeyan had worked on a project with Jiang Jinsang earlier, facilitated somewhat by Fu Chen, leaving a good impression on Qi Zeyan, who toasted him several times after they sat down.
"Never thought I’d have the chance to drink with you at the same table, here’s to you both."
"Qi, you’re too kind."
Fu Chen wasn’t flamboyant or arrogant by nature; he was gentle, harmless, and a believer of Buddhism. Today, with no airs, he gave off a very kind aura.
In business, having more friends is always good, and Fu Chen’s attitude today clearly conveyed goodwill. Hence, Jiang Chengsi was very enthusiastic, even breaking his sobriety because of the joy.
Having not drunk for so long, and drinking quickly, a few glasses in and his throat and lungs felt like they were burning.
Even felt a bit lightheaded.
"Drink slower." Si Qingxiao reminded.
With Yan Chi and Fu Chen as rare guests, Si Qingxiao didn’t stop him from drinking.
"It’s fine, I’m happy today." Jiang Chengsi smiled, raising his glass towards Fu Chen and his wife, "Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu, let me toast to you again."
Song Fengwan was so focused on the Si family’s twins that she didn’t realize Jiang Chengsi was toasting, luckily Fu Chen reminded her.
"Sorry, just amazed at how alike these two kids are. If it weren’t for the mole near the older one’s eye, it’d be hard to tell them apart, I was completely drawn in." Song Fengwan laughed.
"You get to tell them apart naturally after spending more time with them; their personalities are different." Si Qingxiao explained.
"I have a friend who has fraternal twins, a brother and sister, who look nothing alike at all — in looks, temperament, personality. If it hadn’t been mentioned, no one would think they were born together." Song Fengwan was referring to the Duan siblings.
Just aware of the "conflict" between the Duan and Qi families, so kept quiet.
Qi Zhiyi lowered her head while eating, indeed the Duan siblings were vastly different...
Thinking of Duan Yiyang, she buried her head further, anxiously hoping parents or elders wouldn’t notice anything unusual.
"The kids are really good-looking." Song Fengwan smiled.
"Boys are always cheeky, not as considerate as girls." Si Qingxiao said, "You have a boy and a girl, that’s great. Daughter’s in high school, right? Which school?"
When talking about children, there’s always endless chatter.
From children’s education, the conversation shifted to marriages and family...
"As parents, even after the kids get married, you still can’t stop worrying," Si Yushan remarked, looking at Yan Chi, "Xiaochi."
"Hmm?" Yan Chi pondered how to get started, yet Si Yushan brought him up first.
"Already working, so are you dating anyone? You should prioritize this matter of marriage."
Jiang Ruan gripped her chopsticks tightly, but the most tense ones weren’t her, rather...
Jiang Mutang and Qi Lie!
Having tested Yan Chi’s audacity, Jiang Ruan and Yan Chi hadn’t notified in advance about revealing their plans, hence they worried he might blurt out something that would drag them down.
