Chapter 1484: Chapter 855: No One Gets to Be Happy—Tailang Was Removed from the Group Chat (3 Updates)

On the way back to the Tang Family, Jiang Chengsi made a phone call to Si Qingxiao but didn’t mention anything about Yang Yiyi. To him, there was no need to tell her about such matters.

Besides, making a phone call between the two of them should be a happy and sweet thing, not needing to discuss insignificant people.

Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan sat in the driver’s and passenger’s seats. They already had a child and had tolerated someone all the way.

Forcibly being fed dog food.

After hanging up the phone, someone cheerfully hummed a little Pingtan tune.

"Your relationship with Miss Si is so stable, have you discussed when to get married?" Tang Wan turned to look at the person in the back.

"Let’s settle her father-in-law first."

"Third brother moves quite fast."

"How can I compare to him? Meeting the parents one day and having a child the next. If I did that, my uncle would probably hang me on his house’s wall to dry. Besides, isn’t a world of two people wonderful? I don’t understand why you people are in such a rush to have kids."

Jiang Chengsi liked kids, but that didn’t mean he liked having his own!

Playing with other people’s children for a couple of days, naturally, they’re cute. But serving these little ancestors every day wouldn’t be fun.

Jiang Jinsang sighed slightly at this. He hadn’t thought about having a child so early, but since the child was here, it was not something they could just ignore.

"I was planning to wait until my brother’s wedding was over and then go with Xiaoxiao to Europe to see the aurora, watch car races, or go on a self-driving tour of the East African savanna."

"..."

Someone talked about their plans, but there was no thought of getting married, registering, and having children.

Qi Zeyan and Ruan Mengxi were already preparing for pregnancy, so there would likely be results soon.

Since he was destined to be the last one, Jiang Chengsi just let things take their course.

Besides, isn’t a world of two people sweet? Why the rush to have children?

Tang Wan, hearing about his travel plans, was really tempted and turned her head to Jiang Jinsang, who was driving, "Fifth brother, when the child gets a bit older, should we take him out to play every year too?"

It’s better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books, Jiang Jinsang nodded in agreement.

When this couple discussed future travels with their child, Jiang Chengsi just stopped talking, bowed his head, and messaged Si Qingxiao. Before long, Si Qingxiao told him there were guests at home and that she would contact him later.

Jiang Chengsi didn’t ask much, speaking of travel, he opened his phone and looked at various itineraries.

**

At that moment, Si Qingxiao came downstairs, and apart from her parents, there was a familiar face in the living room.

A long-unseen uncle—

You Hongxian.

Beside him stood a sharp figure with a briefcase and glasses.

Compared to a few months ago, when he was full of spirit, he was much leaner now, but still in a suit. Seeing Si Qingxiao, he smiled and greeted, "Xiaoxiao."

Si Qingxiao had no expression on her face. She hadn’t quickly forgotten the incident where the Lou Family drugged her.

In these few months, the You Family had faced numerous issues too, first being You Shenming’s case, where he was sentenced to fifteen years in prison. Although the Lou Family matter had no direct link to You Hongxian, he still had to endure multiple police investigations.

Publicly breaking off with the Si Family, previously in Beijing, others regarded the Si Family’s face, and without the shelter of this big tree, their days in the capital were imaginable.

It’s said that the company could no longer continue, but with the accumulated wealth over the years, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, and there was no need to worry about money for a lifetime.

"What’s your business here?" Si Yushan didn’t put on a pleasant face for him either.

If it weren’t for him insisting he had something urgent and needed to see You Yunzhi, there’s no way he would’ve let him in.

You Hongxian knew he wasn’t welcome, smiling awkwardly:

"Actually, I’m here regarding the company. The company has applied for bankruptcy, but back when I was starting it, you all supported it, and part of the shares were under my sister’s name. Later, when Xiaoxiao was born, a portion was transferred to her name."

"This time I’m here to give that part of the shares to her. Although the company no longer exists and the shares aren’t worth much, they’ve been converted to cash... "

"Let it be Xiaoxiao’s dowry for when she marries."

"I specifically brought a lawyer this time, intending to settle all matters. Ideally, I should’ve come to you earlier, but I’ve been really occupied recently."

After all, the families were in-laws, and over the years, many matters were intertwined, making it impossible to clarify everything.

Si Yushan, having a substantial family business, didn’t care about this bit, but since they’re not planning to contact anymore, having everything accounted for is good.

As not to keep the names of his wife and daughter on You Family’s company shareholder list, only to invite troubles later.

Si Yushan said, "Tomorrow I’ll have a lawyer come to discuss with you, it’s getting late, and we’re planning to rest."

He directly issued an order to leave without showing any consideration.

The Lou Family’s issue wasn’t found linked to You Hongxian, but that didn’t mean he was innocent, and Si Yushan’s leniency was truly considering his wife’s feelings, not wanting her to face more embarrassment.

After all, making a scene between both families would eventually spotlight You Yunzhi.

Clearing up all matters, with no further involvement, is obviously the best.

As for You Yunzhi, who sat aside without saying much, it couldn’t be easy having such a brother on her maternal side.

...

After Si Yushan finished speaking, You Hongxian had no face to stay longer at the Si Family. Staying any further would truly be asking for embarrassment.

He originally thought that after so much time, no matter what, they were relatives, and he was coming to give money proactively. But upon entering, he didn’t even get a cup of hot tea.

It seems reverting to their former relationship is entirely impossible now.

Thinking about the recent glory of the Jiang Family, wasn’t it the same for the Tang Family before? The wheel of fortune turns, and now I’ve almost reached a point that can be described as a broken family.

In Beijing, it’s not that everyone’s after me, but nobody’s willing to become close friends.

Those who used to flatter me ran away the fastest after my incident, as if I carried a plague and even speaking to me could infect them.

My wife passed away early, my son is in prison, the company collapsed, what do I have left...

After experiencing boundless glory, who could endure such a miserable and desolate situation now.

Anyway, I have nothing left, and there’s no prospect left in life, so why should others have it better.

**

After You Hongxian left, You Yunzhi sighed, claiming fatigue and returned to her room to rest early.

Humans are not plants, seeing her brother in such a state, how could she feel nothing at all? She just knows too well that once certain actions are taken, the relationship is cracked and becomes hard to mend.

After the You Family incident, Si Yushan said nothing, nor did he have any conflict with her; instead, he was even more considerate than before. Remembering the goodness of her husband and daughter, it’s impossible to hurt the closest person’s heart for him, even though she feels bad inside.

"Dad, do you want to go see mom?" Si Qingxiao said.

"Your mother isn’t that fragile, give her some alone time." Si Yushan didn’t think it was the best time to accompany her, "How are things between you and that guy lately?"

"Pretty good." Si Qingxiao said with a laugh.

"That’s good. If you think he’s nice, get along well. Your mother and I ultimately want you to be happy."

Si Yushan felt very sentimental tonight. Although he hadn’t brought up the You Family’s matter at home, how could he not feel upset inside? The brother-in-law he took care of and supported stabbed him in the back.

He shared many personal thoughts with Si Qingxiao, and as long as someone had interacted with those from the Jiang Family, they’d know they’re very good—whether in the business circle or in private, their reputation is excellent.

Si Yushan urged her to seize her happiness.

Si Qingxiao listened intently, knowing her father had already eased up regarding her and Jiang Chengsi.

"Talk to that guy, after he returns from Pingjiang, you two discuss and set a time for our families to meet. Come to think of it, our families have never had a meal together."

"Dad, are you serious?" Si Qingxiao said with delight.

"Do you think I would joke about this?"

"Thank you, Dad."

Tang Family old residence

Deep in the night, everyone was gradually falling asleep, even Jiang Xiaowai and the little accident were sound asleep, when suddenly a voice enthusiastically arose from a courtyard.

Startled, Hua Mei exclaimed, causing even the child to be woken up.

Tang Wan had just fallen asleep, heard the noise, and immediately opened her eyes. Jiang Jinsang was still working on his computer, "What happened just now? Someone’s shouting?"

"Most likely some lunatic, it’s nothing, just go back to sleep."

And this certain lunatic was in his room dancing, finally waiting for the clouds to part after all this effort.

Jiang Jinsang recalled the day’s event compared to the crazy shouting of someone late at night, feeling a headache forming.

His fourth brother really could switch freely between being proper and improper, sane and insane.

In the dead of night, he’s simply disturbing the peace.

Soon, his phone vibrated; Jiang Chengsi had sent a red packet in the group chat:

[Brothers, I’m happy today, spreading the wealth. Here’s all the money in my WeChat account, everyone grab a packet, enjoy yourselves.]

Qiqi: [In the middle of the night, you okay?]

Huo Qinqi: [This person has gone mad, crying and howling in the middle of the night.]

Jiang Chengsi: [Can’t you speak properly? That was a shout of excitement.]

[You scared my son to tears.]

[...]

When someone sends a red packet, everyone naturally opened it.

Jiang Jinsang opened it, his head starting to hurt, as he grabbed [one yuan and fifty], and was even notified that he was the [Luck King].

The so-called entire WeChat fortune of someone totaled just over two yuan.

Qi Zeyan: [You’re really stingy, aren’t you embarrassed to send such a small amount?]

Grabbing red packets is just for fun, but the few of them together in the middle of the night, grabbing such a petty amount, is indeed excessive.

Jiang Chengsi: [Just for some fun.]

[Jiang Xiaowu, you’re lucky, managed to grab the biggest one.]

[@Jiang Yanting Second Brother, how come you only got two cents, bit tragic.]

Someone in the group show off...

As he prepared to send another message, the system immediately notified him:

[You have been removed from the group by "Jiang Yanting."]

The group was laughing like crazy, why would he provoke the group owner in the middle of the night?
