Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot
Chapter 1308 - 754: Birthday Banquet, All the Top Beijing Circle Big Shots Arrived_3
Jiang Jinsang occasionally dealt with acquaintances from the mall but spent most of his time observing You Hongxian and the father and son from the Lou family.
You Hongxian had been having someone spy on Si Qingxiao for a long time and had a dispute with You Yunzhi some time ago. It always seemed like he was secretly scheming something.
The main thing was, these three were constantly whispering to each other.
Among them, the most unusual was this Lou Hao.
It wasn’t his first time attending such an event. Even though today’s attendees were all big shots, he shouldn’t be this nervous.
He kept checking his watch, looking around, and constantly glancing towards the direction of the backstage of the lounge, appearing extremely restless and uneasy.
Obviously, something was weighing on his mind.
"What are you looking at?" Tang Wan had been following Fan Mingyu, had met many ladies with her, and finally had a chance to return, only to see Jiang Jinsang staring intently in one direction.
"Nothing much, are you tired?" Jiang Jinsang smiled at her.
"I’m not really tired, just missing our son a bit."
"..."
Jiang Jinsang felt a bit helpless. It had only been about two hours since they left, and she was already missing him, yet she never seemed to worry this much about him.
That little guy is probably at home playing, thinking of him, but the kid might not necessarily be thinking of you.
At this point, You Hongxian suddenly walked over to the photographer’s area, said a few words to them, and then Lou Hao looked around and sneaked into the lounge like a thief.
The lounge was originally a place for guests to rest and chat, but since the birthday party was about to start, everyone was gradually moving to the living room.
What was he doing back there now?
Jiang Chengsi was still forcing himself to drink a lot of water!
He had faced many challenges before and had met her parents, so there was nothing to be nervous about.
Even so, despite constantly reassuring himself, he was still somewhat anxious.
"Fourth Brother." Jiang Jinsang walked over and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Jiang Xiaowu, what do you mean by that? Are you suggesting...?" Jiang Chengsi tightened his grip on the glass in his hand, "Are they crazy to do such a thing at an event like this?"
"I’m just speculating. Go and check it out."
"You’d better be overthinking, or else..." Jiang Chengsi put down the glass, and the slight nervousness on his face quickly disappeared, replaced by a very serious expression.
"I’ll make sure to deal with him."
Jiang Chengsi walked through the crowd and quickly headed towards the lounge.
Jiang Shiyi had been watching his younger brother closely, since he said he wanted to meet the parents tonight, Jiang Shiyi had been worried. Seeing Jiang Jinsang say a few words to him, someone’s expression changed dramatically.
"Xiaowu, what did you say to Chengsi? Where did he go?"
Jiang Jinsang was just guessing that something might happen tonight, so he let Jiang Chengsi go check it out.
If they were indeed planning something against Si Qingxiao, Jiang Chengsi’s presence could count as a hero saving the beauty, and it would be a plus when meeting the Si family as her boyfriend in the future. If there was nothing going on, all the better.
But this was only his guess, and he couldn’t possibly tell Jiang Shiyi the truth.
Besides, Jiang Shiyi didn’t even know at this point that his younger brother’s girlfriend was the legendary eldest daughter of the Si family...
Facing Jiang Shiyi’s inquiry, Jiang Jinsang just smiled slightly:
"Fourth Brother might have drunk too much water and went to find the bathroom." The bathroom and the lounge were in the same direction.
"..."
Jiang Shiyi tightly pursed his lips and glanced down at his watch.

Elsewhere
Si Qingxiao had just finished putting on her makeup and was about to change clothes when her phone vibrated, and she received a text message.
[I know you had a private meeting with someone in the bridal chamber. If you don’t want your parents or even more people to know about this, go to room 414 within ten minutes.]
An unmarried girl alone in a room with a man, one could imagine the kind of unsavory gossip that would spread, especially on an occasion like today.
The outside world believed that the Si family’s daughter was gentle and intelligent, and they were all waiting to see her today. If such a thing were to spread as soon as she appeared, it would definitely become the topic of conversation at everyone’s tables.
Si Qingxiao looked at the message again, rose, and pushed the door open to leave.
