Chapter 1298: Chapter 749: Did Jiang Xiaosi Set Up Xie Duo? Jiang Xiaowai vs the Little Accident (Part 2)

"Cough——" Jiang Chengsi choked on a piece of orange, nearly choking.

Brother, brother?

He’s almost thirty, waiting for the kid to grow up, he’ll be fifty, calling him brother?

He instantly felt displeased.

Just glanced at Xie Duo beside him, "Young Master Xie, if we talk about generations, this kid is a generation older than you."

Xie Duo is of the same generation as Jiangjiang, naturally of the same generation as the Demon Lord of Mayhem, but in terms of relationships, he still has to call this little brat uncle?

Seeing Xie Duo’s face darken, Jiang Chengsi felt a bit more comfortable inside.

At least he wasn’t the lowest.

Huo Qinqi saw Tang Wan coming over, got up to give her his seat. It had been hectic from last night until this morning, and he hadn’t had the chance to thank her. Now, having a moment, he thanked her.

"We are all family, there’s no need to be so polite, Uncle."

...

The little surprise from the Huo Family was originally asleep, but when Liang Yun carried Jiang Xiaowai over, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Their eyes met, Jiang Xiaowai kept observing him, probably because it was the first time meeting, feeling curious.

But soon Jiang Xiaowai felt something was off since he woke up, he instantly drew all the attention in the room away. Originally wherever he went, he was the center of attention, yet inexplicably he lost favor.

He smacked his mouth, seeing everyone gathered around him.

Later Jiang Xiaowai was placed beside him.

Jiang Xiaowai has been the focus wherever he went since birth, probably wanting to attract everyone’s attention, either playing with fingers or picking toes, amusing everyone.

"Time flies, in a blink, Mutang is already several months old."

"The two kids are just a few months apart; they can play together in the future, go to school together, as companions, uncle and nephew."

"Look at Mutang, still smiling nonstop." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

...

Jiang Xiaowai was naturally happy because everyone’s attention returned to him, he twisted his body, glanced at the person beside him.

The little surprise from the Huo Family was quite calm.

Originally causing a ruckus in Shen Shuci’s belly, everyone thought he’d surely be quite lively post-birth, a little Demon Lord of Mayhem.

Huo Qinqi directly said:

"Demon Lord of Mayhem? Our family can nurture such a wild child?"

The Huo Family doesn’t have strict rules, but they are upright and stern. Any crooked sprouts would be straightened from the root.

The crooked sprout Huo Ran was purely an unexpected case.

If Huo Qinqi were to raise the child himself, even if he were the reincarnation of Nezha, he wouldn’t stir up huge waves.

Since birth, he cried very little, quite calm.

Jiang Xiaowai tilted his head, curiously watching him, seemingly boasting about the attention he received.

But soon after, he heard a "Wah——."

The little surprise started crying...

Everyone was busy comforting him, and Jiang Xiaowai was completely ignored.

Jiang Xiaowai pouted, muttering:

I might as well continue playing with my toes.

The little surprise cried and then slept, Jiang Xiaowai probably also got tired and fell asleep beside him, conveying a sense of peace and tranquility.

Everyone joked that the two would certainly get along well in the future.

As it turned out, they did get along well indeed, causing trouble together. If caught by Huo Qinqi, Jiang Xiaowai was the first to run home, often causing mischief.

No one stayed long at the hospital, with the sky dimming slightly, Jiang Chengsi suggested that everyone go for a meal together, including Jiang Jinsang’s family of three and the Xie siblings, at a venue within Jiang Chengsi’s club.

Xie Duo felt puzzled, ready to return home after the meal, but Jiang Chengsi pulled him aside, saying he wanted to drink with him.

The two of them had almost never drunk together, the sudden hospitality felt strange to him.

Something seemed off.

He even directly asked Jiang Chengsi:

"Fourth Master, do you need my help with something?"

"I don’t need any help from you, no pressure, just having a drink, relax."

Previously at the hospital, upon first sight, he was quite cold to him, and now inexplicably pulling him to stay, what did he want?

Despite often socializing in business, Xie Duo had an average tolerance, coupled with Jiang Chengsi mixing various drinks for him, he soon felt slightly tipsy.

"Young Master Xie..."

"Hmm?" Xie Duo already felt like Jiang Chengsi’s face was double vision before him.

"Today at the hospital, we didn’t finish our topic, tell me about Mr. Si."

"Mr. Si, he is..." Xie Duo, usually candid with Jiang Chengsi, spoke freely after drinking.

"You’ve seen Miss Si, right?"

"Yes, we’ve had meals together."

"What do you think of her?"

"She’s nice."

"Do you like her?"

"Like?" Xie Duo, dizzy, seemed unable to follow his thoughts, "I just think she’s nice."

For someone excellent and beautiful, anyone would naturally take a few more looks; Xie Duo’s feelings for Si Qingxiao were mere admiration, far from affectionate attachment.

"Do you want to marry her?"

Xie Duo smirked, "I guess every man in Beijing wants to marry her."

Jiang Chengsi felt a bit displeased hearing this.

...

Xie Duo never thought Jiang Chengsi got him drunk to coax information out of him.

Having strategized and fought with Jiang Yanting for years, he knew everyone’s character in the Jiang Family, Jiang Jinsang was definitely not someone easy to deal with, and Jiang Shiyi as well, but only Jiang Chengsi...

Perhaps the only naive one in the Jiang Family.

Xie Duo had no guard against him, naturally didn’t expect cunningness.

From Xie Duo, Jiang Chengsi gathered plenty of information about Si Yushan’s preferences, feeling quite pleased inside.

Yet, he didn’t anticipate extracting words from Xie Duo would be so effortless.

Someone who could contend with his second brother for years surely had some prowess; how could he seem so naive?

Answering any question without defense, how could he navigate the business world for so long like this?

One thought the other was naive, the other thought the other was a big fool.

**

The birth of the Huo Family’s little surprise was a joyous event, widely discussed in Beijing.

Most discussions revolved around his lineage, he was born a life’s winner.

Except for You Hongxian, who didn’t stay at the hospital all night, yet sent people to constantly watch over, sleepless throughout.

Especially upon hearing how Shen Shuci labored all day, yet the child wasn’t born, he worried something might happen to the child, concerned the Huo Family would blame him.

He vividly recalled just pulling her a bit; such minor pulling surely couldn’t have triggered premature labor?

But if the Huo Family deliberately wanted a scapegoat, as only he and Shen Shuci were in the bathroom at that time, he’d be at her mercy.

Being villainous himself, naturally imagined others to be despicable.

Ridden with anxiety, You Hongxian received a call from his sister, inviting him to dine at the Si Family.

Since Qi Zeyan’s relationship turmoil, You Yunzhi rarely invited him to the Si Family. He thought perhaps with her birthday approaching, being her maternal relative wouldn’t change.

At the birthday banquet, as the maternal family, he should bolster her image, even buying plenty of things while visiting.

Encountering Jiang Chengsi at the Si Family, his heart sank, his face turned incredibly gloomy.

How could this kid be here?
