The unexpected incident in the Huo Family came suddenly, but it troubled Shen Shuci for the entire day, and the Huo Family was turned upside down, with Huo Qinqi returning to Beijing overnight. So, the news of Huo Qinqi’s son’s birth quickly spread throughout the Beijing circle.

Those who had some connection with the Huo Family wanted to visit the hospital, but were all stopped by Liang Yun under the pretext that Shen Shuci needed rest. Only close and long-time friends were allowed to enter the ward.

After the child was born, Jiang Jinsang brought Tang Wan back home at noon. She hadn’t rested well when she stayed over at the Huo Family, and then she watched outside the delivery room all night. Feeling exhausted, she went home to rest before heading to the hospital with her son in the evening.

When she arrived at the ward, Shen Shuci was already awake. Huo Qinqi was sitting by her bed, and the two seemed to be talking about something personal.

Besides Liang Yun and the two elders of the Shen Family, Jiang Chengsi was also there, along with the Xie siblings.

Xie Tongtong was leaning against the small bed, staring at the baby, while Jiang Chengsi and Xie Duo were sitting on the sofa not far away, the atmosphere quite unusual.

Actually, Xie Duo was quite puzzled as his encounters with Jiang Chengsi weren’t many, but they could usually exchange words and jokes.

When he arrived today, Jiang Chengsi was already there. He greeted the Huo Family members, offered congratulations, presented gifts, and naturally sat beside him.

"Oh, Fourth Master is here." Xie Duo greeted him proactively.

Jiang Chengsi nodded in response, his expression rather aloof.

Xie Duo pursed his lips, "How’s your club doing recently? I heard someone invested again."

"It’s okay." Jiang Chengsi was peeling an orange, "It’s all small-time business, can’t compare to the Xie Family’s dealings. I heard the collaboration with the Si Family is going well, and Mr. Si values you highly."

"Mr. Si is just mentoring the younger generation, not really prioritizing me."

"Is that so?"

Xie Duo found it hard to understand, feeling Jiang Chengsi’s tone was odd today, as if he was deliberately targeting him.

But he believed he hadn’t offended him, their personal relationship was still average, with no business interactions. Was Fourth Master upset somewhere and venting on him?

However, Jiang Chengsi being called an oddity had some truth, as his temper was unpredictable, so Xie Duo didn’t mind.

"Mr. Xie, can I ask you something?"

"Go ahead."

"Everyone is curious about the Si Family, feeling they’re mysterious and hard to approach. Since you interact with them the most, what’s your impression of them?"

"Rumors are just rumors, not to be believed. Mr. Si is nice, and he takes care of juniors like me."

"Are you aware of his preferences?"

"Preferences?" Xie Duo frowned, wondering why they were suddenly enquiring about Si Yushan’s likes?

"I just want to know how Mr. Si differs from ordinary people like us." Jiang Chengsi said while eating the orange, feigning nonchalance.

"There’s not much difference, he enjoys tea and playing chess..." Xie Duo didn’t think much and shared what he knew.

During this period, many have sought information about the Si Family from him, including their preferences, mostly intending to approach the Si Family, so Xie Duo kept his mouth tight.

Only when Jiang Chengsi asked, did he share openly.

The main reason being, if Jiang Chengsi had the intent to climb upwards by building alliances, he would have entered the Jiang Group long ago. He didn’t desire power or profit, so even if he knew what Si Yushan liked, he wouldn’t go to the Si Family to curry favor.

Jiang Chengsi wasn’t one to deliberately flatter someone to gain their liking.

Talking to him, Xie Duo had no apprehensions.

Jiang Chengsi listened intently while eating the orange.

Until Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan entered, Xie Duo got up to greet them before stopping the conversation.

...

"Wanwan is here, come and sit." Liang Yun was quite grateful to Tang Wan, as she was the one who stayed and comforted Shen Shuci during her labor pains.

If it were left to Huo Ran, it would have been hopeless!

Thinking of Huo Ran, Liang Yun was still amused yet speechless.

After the child was born, whether excited or nervous, he got teary-eyed, nearly cried, and started stuttering, scared into a trembling mess.

"Come, let me hold the baby." Liang Yun took Jiang Xiaowai from her arms, "Let’s go, I’ll take you to see your little brother, he’s just born, still very small..."

"Not a little brother." The elderly lady Shen quickly corrected her, "He’s an uncle."

"Yes, an uncle." Liang Yun smiled, "I’ll take you to see your uncle, Chengsi was just saying he’s become an uncle, Chengsi, you’re not an uncle, you’re a brother."
