Chapter 1815: Chapter 64: Shock, Double Standards, Our Own House Has Collapsed

In an instant, the atmosphere at the dining table became strange.

Only Fu Chen smiled, "Actually, Xiaochi and I were planning to formally visit a couple of days later, but we unexpectedly ran into each other at the airport, and Fourth Master was so enthusiastic that I really couldn’t refuse."

Jiang Chengsi’s brain short-circuited!

In fact, he had a reason for inviting Fu Chen and Yan Chi. Firstly, Fu Chen had given him a project, and Yan Chi had gifted him a helmet and a signed shirt. More importantly, in business, having more friends is never a bad thing.

And... he was also hoping to get closer to Yan Chi so he could take care of his daughter more in Nanjiang!

And now, what’s this?

Was he unknowingly inviting a wolf into his home?

Fu Chen continued, "Originally, I was worried that abruptly showing up and revealing the relationship between the two might be awkward if you didn’t like Yan Chi, which would put me, as the brother-in-law, in a difficult position."

"But since you all have such a good impression of him, I feel relieved."

Jiang Chengsi felt dizzy after hearing that.

Where did he get the impression that I thought highly of him? This Third Master Fu is really full of nonsense.

It turns out he had been luring him into praising Yan Chi as a trap, waiting for him here.

"Actually, I came specifically to visit this time. I am sincere about Ruanyuan and hope for your support in our relationship," Yan Chi said honestly.

But as things evolved to this point, everyone was surprised.

The twin brothers were dumbfounded...

This person is going to be their brother-in-law?

Can they refuse?

And the four members of the Qi Family, except Qi Lie, were also stunned. They were just there to have a meal and didn’t expect to witness such a drama.

Yan Chi looked at Jiang Chengsi, "And you were right, you said when you meet someone you like, you should hold onto them. I definitely will hold tight to Ruanyuan."

Jiang Chengsi only wanted to give him two words:

Get lost!

But given the current situation, he couldn’t delve into too many details. Having just praised Yan Chi, it wouldn’t be appropriate to show him a cold face. He could only bite the bullet and pull a slight smile from the corner of his mouth, "Pretty good..."

"Especially good!"

It had a taste of gritting his teeth.

**

Now that everything had been revealed, there was no direct explosion from Jiang Ruan’s father, which she had anticipated.

Jiang Chengsi was shocked and upset inside, but couldn’t show it in front of outsiders. After that, the atmosphere at the dining table became odd. Everyone exchanged polite conversations, and Jiang Chengsi remained as warmly hospitable as usual, though his smile was obviously fake.

Everyone was well-mannered, so they politely saw off Yan Chi and Fu Chen and his wife.

It seemed calm on the surface, but everyone could feel the undercurrents beneath that calm fa?ade.

"Mom and Dad, let’s go too." Qi Lie looked at his parents.

Fourth Uncle Jiang clearly needed to close the door and handle family matters. It wasn’t appropriate for them to stick around.

Qi Zeyan wanted to watch the drama unfold but also knew it wasn’t suitable given the current situation, so he prepared to leave.

Even Jiang Mutang stood up to leave.

Jiang Ruan knew she would eventually have to face her family and thoroughly clarify things herself because Yan Chi, after all, was an outsider and couldn’t handle everything for her.

But she didn’t expect her cousin and Qi Lie to be so quick to run off. Couldn’t they at least stay to speak up for her or give her some moral support?

"If you’re leaving, I won’t see you off then."

After Yan Chi’s group left, Jiang Chengsi couldn’t smile any longer.

"It’s so cold outside, you better not see us off." Jiang Mutang wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

But before he could leave, he was stopped by Jiang Ruan, "Brother—"

Jiang Mutang froze.

"Don’t look at your brother; he can’t help you with this, and don’t expect him to bring any reinforcements." Jiang Chengsi stated bluntly, just wanting to know how she and Yan Chi ended up together, "No one coming today would help."

"Brother—" Jiang Ruan still looked pitifully at Jiang Mutang.

"Mutang, hurry up and go, text me when you get home." Jiang Chengsi had already issued an eviction order.

"Brother." Jiang Ruan spoke again, "Qi Lie—"

Qi Lie felt like going crazy...

Could they leave him out of this, please?

"Can Qi Lie even help you? Don’t delay your Uncle Qi and his family from going home." Jiang Chengsi thought his daughter was just "struggling in vain," "You’re quite the sneaky one, keeping things so airtight."

"Not completely airtight." Jiang Ruan bit her lip.

"What did you say?" Jiang Chengsi frowned.

"Brother and Qi Lie both know."

When Jiang Chengsi’s deadly glare shot over, Jiang Mutang and Qi Lie knew they couldn’t leave today, and it turned out neither could Qi Zeyan’s family.

**

A group of people sat in the living room, interrogating Jiang Ruan.

"Great, just great." Jiang Chengsi had a bit to drink, his face was already red, and with the blood rushing, he looked quite alarming.

Drinking made people too excited, and it was easy to cause problems, so Si Qingxiao specially made him a cup of chrysanthemum tea.

"Have some tea to cool down."

"How do you expect me to cool down? I hosted Yan Chi, hoping he could take good care of Ruan Ruan in Nanjiang. Now look, he took care of her straight to his own home, how thorough and considerate," Jiang Chengsi said as he took the tea, but even a sip of chrysanthemum tea couldn’t calm his anger.

"No wonder he came several times during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, with all sorts of gifts; I found it odd then. Didn’t expect..."

"Uncle, since you found it odd, why didn’t you look into it deeply?" Jiang Mutang questioned openly.

"You kid, don’t talk! I’ll have a word with you later."

Jiang Mutang: "I did remind you."

"..."

Jiang Chengsi gritted his teeth, was this kid’s sharp tongue inherited from his own brother Jiang Shiyi?

In retrospect, all the signs were there, but Jiang Chengsi, burdened with work, was never someone meticulous in life matters.

"Jiang Ruan, just tell us, when did this start?" Jiang Chengsi asked bluntly.

"During the National Day holiday," Jiang Ruan decided not to hide anything at this time.

"Weren’t you staying at Taotao’s then? Did she know about you two?" Jiang Chengsi thought of this possibility and felt as if he was betrayed by the whole world.

"Sis didn’t know." Jiang Ruan shook her head, "She had some urgent work."

"What are you thinking? You’re still a student, and there’s so much uncertainty between you two. Do you really like him so much to bring him to meet us?" Si Qingxiao’s tone remained gentle.

The kids haven’t done anything outrageous, there’s no need to get everyone all tense.

"I like him, and after discussing it with my senior, we didn’t want to hide it from you," Jiang Ruan said, "Whether we can make it to the end, it’s hard to say. No one can guarantee the future, we just felt that with family, we should be honest and sincere, and besides..."

"Don’t you all like and appreciate him too?"

Jiang Chengsi watched his daughter speaking cautiously, feeling both anxious and angry, "Liking and appreciating doesn’t mean he can be my son-in-law."

"Then, tell me, what’s wrong with him?"

"He..."

Jiang Chengsi really couldn’t find any faults with Yan Chi, and couldn’t just lie blatantly, so he stammered out, "That kid is too tall, I find it displeasing to look at."

Everyone: "..."

This awkward nitpicking really took the cake.

At this moment, Jiang Mutang also deeply realized why his father and uncle, along with other relatives, always teased him.

Sometimes this Uncle really made people find him both amusing and pitiful.

"Also, are you aware that Yan Chi is your uncle! With you two like this, when I meet his dad in the future, what should I call him?" Jiang Chengsi seemed to have finally found a point of attack.

Jiang Ruan pursed her lips, "You’ve never been willing to call Huo Qinqi ’Uncle,’ saying that Aunt and the younger aunt aren’t really blood relatives, so there’s no need to pay attention to seniority. True kinship isn’t your concern, so why are you so particular with the Yan family?"

Jiang Chengsi had always called Huo Qinqi "Old Huo," refusing to change, not expecting this to become a point for his daughter to "attack" him.

What’s this called...

What goes around, comes around.

"Our relationship with the Huo family is different from the Yan family!" Jiang Chengsi was stubborn.

Jiang Ruan nodded, "Dad, your behavior is a typical case of double standards."

"Jiang Ruan, you’re now siding with outsiders. Now I’m interrogating you, and you’re planning to reprimand me?" Jiang Chengsi snorted.

"No, I just hope you’ll be fair to my senior and view it from a more objective standpoint."

"He dug his way into my house, how do you expect me to be objective?"

"..."

While Jiang Chengsi continued "interrogating" Jiang Ruan, the news about her relationship with Yan Chi had already spread.

Zeyan was the one who leaked it.

How could he not share such hot news with his good friends and brothers?

Everyone thought they must be seeing things, Jiang Shiyi noticed Zeyan’s excitement in his words, and since it concerned his niece, he couldn’t help but ask: [Yan Chi, who is this? Do you all know him?]

How come no one else seems to react at all.

Deep in academic experiments, he found the name familiar but couldn’t recall who it was.

[Fu San’s brother-in-law, you know him now.]

Jiang Shiyi remained silent.

At this moment, everyone knew that Jiang Chengsi’s house...

had collapsed!
