Chapter 1182 - 695: Admiring and Liking Doesn’t Mean He Can Be a Son-in-Law (Second Update)

Ruan Daqiang walked to the bank, but when about to withdraw money, he faced a dilemma. He didn’t know how much to give Qi Zeyan in a red envelope. Too little would make him seem stingy, too much... it just didn’t sit right with him.

Meanwhile, Qi Zeyan had already driven Ruan Mengxi to the Tang Family’s home.

Having announced their visit in advance, Old Tang was in the courtyard, basking in the sun and walking his bird. Seeing the two arrive, he was overjoyed and insisted they stay for lunch.

After delivering gifts, it was natural to inform Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan. Qi Zeyan stood under the porch in the sun, holding a bird stick, still seducing Hua Mei.

"...The things have been delivered, Grandpa Tang is in great health, and Xixi is teaching him how to use the blood pressure monitor." The couple prepared practical gifts for the elder; the old monitor was outdated, so they bought the latest model.

"Thank you."

"It’s rare to hear you say thank you. What are you busy with?"

"Looking at company reports."

"..." Qi Zeyan paused his fingers. Reports? This guy usually likes to stir the pot; is he planning to cause trouble in the business circle now?

Just as Jiang Jinsang finished speaking, he heard a shriek from the other end of the phone, "Ow—hiss."

"What’s wrong with you?" Jiang Jinsang raised an eyebrow.

"Nothing." Qi Zeyan jabbed the stick at Hua Mei a few times.

That stupid bird actually attacked him?

Jiang Zhenhuan had long planned to retire from the main responsibilities. Jiang Jinsang used to have health issues but is fine now, hoping both brothers could help.

Rumors about Jiang Jinsang entering the company have been circulating, with some even imagining a dramatic brotherly feud.

However, Jiang Yanting seemed eager for his help, and if it weren’t for being new to financial business, he’d probably hand over all his tasks.

Reading financial books can’t compare to practice; Jiang Yanting gave him some previous company reports for learning. Jiang Jinsang needs to support his wife and earn money for baby formula and can’t be idle.

"Xiaowu, are you really going to join the company?"

Just thinking about encountering Jiang Jinsang not only in life but also at work made Qi Zeyan’s head ache.

"I’m not going to your company; why are you overreacting?"

"Your brothers are such a handful; luckily, Third Brother is in the lab, Jiang Chengsi just loves tinkering with cars. If I had to face you guys every day, I’d go mad."

"Haven’t you always gotten along well with Fourth Brother?"

"I’ve already broken ties with him. Don’t mention him to me."

...

Qi Zeyan and Ruan Mengxi freeloaded lunch at the Tang Family’s place, and Ruan Daqiang thought they ought to be back by now.

Ruan Mengxi called, saying she wanted to take Qi Zeyan for a ride.

Driving his car, taking his daughter for a date? How daring, that little scoundrel.

"Zeyan is quite nice, you know; he helped me clean up this morning. Imagine someone managing such a big company doing this; it’s not easy." Ever since discovering that Qi Zeyan can cook, Ruan’s mother’s fondness for him has been skyrocketing.

"That’s because he wants to marry our daughter?"

"Quite normal, isn’t it? Otherwise, with your grim face, who would willingly put up with you?"

"You..."

Ruan Daqiang was very frustrated, tossing and turning in bed, unable to nap properly.

Over in Beijing

The elderly lady was instructing the three who were about to visit the Si Family, mainly telling them to be polite, especially mentioning Jiang Yanting, who was accustomed to his stern face, to set a good example for his younger brother.

After the three set off, they were in the same car, with Jiang Chengsi relegated to driving duty.

He was especially sleepy hearing the two in the back discussing work.

With the New Year approaching, these two were discussing work.

"Can’t you talk about something normal? Work stuff should be discussed in the office." He was already feeling sleepy with the car heater on.

Back in school, he didn’t like reading books. The two were discussing basic finance, very sleep-inducing.

"Listening more could be beneficial to you. Maybe you can use it for your bar business." Jiang Yanting pointed out.

"Forget it. My bars are just tiny, don’t need such advanced theories; the market’s too complex for me. I’ll just manage the club well. By the way, where are you and sister-in-law planning to take the kids for New Year?"

"Do you want to go out with us?"

Jiang Chengsi chuckled wryly; he wasn’t stupid!

Going out with them would mean babysitting.

"When we get to the Si Family, be careful not to say anything inappropriate." Jiang Yanting said, worried that Jiang Chengsi might show attitude to the Si Family.
