Chapter 1497: Chapter 862: Brothers Coming to Blows? The Situation Worsens Again (Part 2)
A while ago, I heard that the two families were going to meet, and she knew how happy her boss was.
"I know, Chengsi isn’t that kind of person, but what’s the use if only I believe it? The key is Si Family..." the old lady sighed.
"Grandma, don’t worry, it’s all baseless. The Si Family won’t misunderstand." Ruan Mengxi didn’t know how to console her.
"Zeyan, you’re good friends with Chengsi, spend more time with him when you can. The Si Family canceling the meeting was a big blow to him." The old lady rubbed her cane, exhaustion evident in her expression.
"I will." Qi Zeyan nodded in agreement.
...
The two chatted with the old lady for a while before Ruan Mengxi made an excuse to check on the children and went to Tang Wan’s room, while Qi Zeyan went out to find Jiang Chengsi.
Now the whole of Beijing was watching him; if anything happened again and the reporters caught wind of it, his relationship with Si Qingxiao would definitely worsen.
The two had been friends for years, and Qi Zeyan knew all the places he frequented, eventually finding him at the bar.
"Young Master Qi, Fourth Young Master has already drunk a lot, please go and calm him down." The manager was sweating profusely with anxiety.
Qi Zeyan entered the room, and upon seeing the person drunk and oblivious, turned to the manager, "Why didn’t you try to stop him."
"We couldn’t persuade him, you know Fourth Young Master’s temper."
Qi Zeyan cursed under his breath, what the hell was going on?
The manager couldn’t persuade him, but where the hell were Jiang Xiaowu and the others during all this.
"Jiang Xiaosi." Qi Zeyan walked over and snatched the glass from his hand, "Stop drinking and come with me now."
"Qi... Qiqi! It’s you." Jiang Chengsi picked up another bottle from the table and offered it to him, "Come, let’s toast, happy wedding—"
Go to hell!
Someone started singing right after saying that.
"Happy wedding to you, happy marriage to you..." using the tune of the birthday song, made Qi Zeyan wish he could pour the drink all over his face.
"Stop freaking drinking. At this point, if you still care about drinking, you might as well drink yourself to death!" Qi Zeyan pulled the bottle from his hand, dragging him out.
"Let go, get your hands off me!" Jiang Chengsi, summoning some unknown strength, suddenly broke free from Qi Zeyan’s grip and prepared to drink straight from the bottle.
"Don’t you freaking want a wife."
"Whether I want one is none of your damn business."
"So me coming to find you is just me being nosy?"
"If you hadn’t gone to attend that stupid wedding, would I be like this?"
Though he said this, the entire affair wasn’t Qi Zeyan’s fault. When the temper flared up, he simply yanked the bottle from his hand and smashed it to the ground, "Are you now saying this is all my fault?"
"I’m telling you, with your current state, forget the Si Family, even I look down on you."
"You deserved it, and I’m an idiot for even worrying about you?"
Jiang Chengsi sneered, "It’s not you being an idiot, it’s me, I can’t live up to the Si Family."
"What love, mutual trust, it’s all bullshit, crumbles at the first sign of trouble."
"I tried to learn business, I went, I even tried pleasing her dad, but now, they don’t even answer my calls, heartless."
...
Qi Zeyan’s appearance at the bar had already drawn a lot of attention; a crowd had gathered outside the booth.
Watching as he spoke more incoherently, Qi Zeyan’s fury rose, "Stop talking, I’ll take you home first."
"Home?" Jiang Chengsi sneered, "What home? Do I even have a home?"
"Stop this drunken madness, just go." Knowing the discomfort in his heart, Qi Zeyan didn’t take his harsh words to heart.
But Jiang Chengsi insisted on staying to drink, unwilling to leave. If he got photographed like this by the reporters, there’d surely be another storm.
"Hurry up and go!" Qi Zeyan forcibly dragged him out.
"I damn well won’t leave." Jiang Chengsi said, picking up the bottle to continue drinking.
"Can you stop making a fuss?"
"If you can’t stand me, get lost, who the hell asked you to come."
"I shouldn’t have come back to Beijing." After receiving the news, Qi Zeyan rushed back at once, only to be confronted with a barrage of insults without a kind word in return; he was also a person with temper.
Realizing his foul mood, he tolerated it, but didn’t expect this guy to still push his limits.
Everyone was worrying about him, and yet this guy was here wallowing in drinks, throwing tantrums. Damn, I’m being too kind. Qi Zeyan took a deep breath, then swung his arm and punched him.
He didn’t hold back.
Jiang Chengsi was caught off guard and fell directly onto the sofa, completely bewildered.
"You, you..."
"Young Master Qi!" The manager had been in the private room all along and quickly went over to stop Qi Zeyan, afraid the situation would escalate further.
"Are you sober?" Qi Zeyan glared at him.
Jiang Chengsi was utterly confounded...
"If you’re sober, come with me!" Qi Zeyan gestured for the manager to step aside and dragged him out through the bar’s back door, leaving swiftly.
However, the bar was crowded and eyes were everywhere, and the story of Jiang Chengsi drowning his sorrows in alcohol and getting into a fight with Qi Zeyan had already spread rapidly, sparking considerable discussion online.
"I have a friend who was there in the bar; initially, it was just an argument, but later I heard they really started fighting."
"Young Master Qi has always had a good temperament; just how bad must things have gotten this time."
"How did things get to this point."
"The Jiang Family has had no reaction, have they given up on him? But this incident has a big impact on their reputation; if it’s true, it would be normal for them not to care."
...
Amidst the online discussions, Qi Zeyan didn’t take Jiang Chengsi back to the Jiang Mansion but rather dragged him directly to the Huo Family.
"Why are you bringing him to our place?" Huo Qinqi frowned.
"Looking at him like this, if I took him to the mansion, Grandma Jiang would be even more worried. Third Brother went to see his wife, and there’s no one at his own home. I can’t have him stay alone; in his current state, I even think he might strip down and run outside naked."
Huo Qinqi: "..."
"Anyway, you keep an eye on him, and if he tries to run or cause trouble outside..."
"Then what should I do!"
"Beat him to death, don’t hold back."
"..."
The key point is, sending him to the Huo Family means no reporters would dare to come snooping; it’s the safest place. Qi Zeyan looked at the drunken man, infuriated.
When Shen Shuci came out holding their child, she immediately noticed the wound on Jiang Chengsi’s lip, "What happened to him?"
"He drank, obviously." Qi Zeyan was trying to calm himself down.
"I meant on his face."
"Oh," Qi Zeyan glanced at Jiang Chengsi, "Probably fell over himself after drinking."
Jiang Chengsi:
Go to hell.
You blatant liar.
**
After leaving the Huo’s residence, Qi Zeyan immediately phoned Jiang Jinsang, asking where he was so they could talk seriously.
When he drove to the Jiang Mansion, he discovered Jiang Jinsang was in a room doing woodworking.
Holding a grinding tool, he was smoothing out a piece of wood, seemingly making a toy for his son.
"Xiaowu, do you know what’s happening outside?"
"I know." Jiang Jinsang carefully inspected the wood in front of him, afraid there might still be splinters.
"And you’re still in the mood to do woodworking here? Aren’t the brothers of the Jiang Family supposed to have great feelings for each other? Now Chengsi is in that state, and none of you care about him."
"He’s in a bad mood; isn’t it normal to drown your sorrows in alcohol?"
"Does that even sound human?"
"If it’s not human, then what is it?"
Qi Zeyan couldn’t stand it, "You all aren’t even worried, I’m really wasting my concern; plainly someone has set him up to frame him, aren’t you supposed to be smart? Hurry and catch the person behind it, you’re usually very capable, but you shrink now at the crucial moment?"
"Or do you mean you can’t do anything, couldn’t catch the person behind it, so you’re just like that dumb turtle you raise..."
"Hiding in its shell when facing trouble."
Lord Wansui: "..."
Jiang Jinsang glanced at him from the corner of his eye, "You can speak about me, but why attack the turtle I raise? It’s innocent."
"..."
