Chapter 981: Chapter 585: Jiang Xiaosi vs. Qi Duidui, Using His Money to Support Another Man? (Second Update)

Tang Wan entered the room, hung up the phone, and started a video call with Ruan Mengxi on the tablet.

"Have you lost weight recently?" Ruan Mengxi set up the computer and looked Tang Wan over carefully. "Isn’t Fifth Lord taking care of you? You need nutrition right now, don’t go on a diet."

"No, I’ve been eating quite a bit lately, but you seem to have gained weight."

Ruan Mengxi has always been prone to gaining weight. In the past, she was so busy at work that she barely had time to eat, making it hard to gain weight.

After just a few days at home, eating and playing around, she easily put on five or six pounds.

"Then I’ll start dieting tomorrow. If I can’t fit into the bridesmaid dress, that’ll be too embarrassing." Ruan Mengxi pinched the soft flesh at her waist.

"Did you visit my grandpa today? How is he?" Tang Wan thought about how her father’s career was based in Pingjiang, making it tough to move to Beijing, but she always wanted to bring her grandpa over, worried that he’d be lonely and cold by himself.

But the old man just wouldn’t agree.

"He’s doing great, practicing tai chi and participating in some sort of sunset activities with a bunch of other grandparents. I heard they’re planning to go hiking together this weekend." Ruan Mengxi kept pinching her cheeks in the camera, feeling chubby all over.

"What about you? How have you been lately?"

"I’ve been good," Ruan Mengxi smiled. "I’m heading back to Beijing next week. If there’s anything you want, let me know in advance, and I’ll bring it back for you."

...

Tang Wan saw that her expression was normal, so she didn’t ask much else and ended the video call. When she went out, the three people at the table were still drinking.

"Stop drinking," Tang Wan collected the remaining half bottle of liquor. "Eat something."

Drinking was mainly for fun, and they weren’t that addicted.

The three didn’t say much, but Jiang Chengsi only asked her after sipping his last bit of drink, "Sister-in-law, can I ask you something?"

"You’re not going to ask me to make a screen again, are you?"

"No way, your belly is so big now. If I dared to ask you again, Xiaowu wouldn’t need to step in; Grandma would scold me to death."

Tang Wan thought, as long as it wasn’t about making something, anything was negotiable. "Besides that, what else do you want to ask me?"

Qi Zeyan was about to finish his last sip of wine when he caught someone across the table saying:

"Your friend, Xiaoruan’s assistant, does she have a boyfriend?"

The liquor burned, scorching from the throat all the way to the heart, making Qi Zeyan feel uncomfortable in his organs.

"Why are you asking?" Tang Wan sat down next to Jiang Jinsang.

"Just remembered I had a friend who asked about her situation and I forgot. Suddenly remembered today, but don’t worry. I’m not setting up a blind date, just want to make friends."

Tang Wan said directly, "She doesn’t have one."

"How old is she again?"

"..."

The two chatted on and off, but Jiang Jinsang suddenly glanced at Qi Zeyan.

Qi Zeyan merely glanced back faintly, as if saying:

Why are you looking at me?

Unexpectedly, he spoke up: "Fourth Brother, she’s Zeyan’s assistant. He probably knows quite a bit about her, why not ask him?"

"That makes sense. Zeyan, you’ve worked with her for so long, day in and day out. What do you think of her?"

"Who’s with her day in and day out? We’re just in a working relationship." It was as if someone suddenly poked him, and his voice rose a bit.

This made Jiang Chengsi a little displeased.

What’s his problem!

Who is he getting mad at?

"I never said you two have any other relationship. Why are you getting so excited?"

"I..." Qi Zeyan was frustrated, trying to take a drink only to find his glass empty, so he could only angrily take a bite of food.

Jiang Chengsi frowned, "I just mentioned that Xiaoruan’s assistant is cute, and I sensed something off with your tone. What’s the deal, your company doesn’t allow employees to date?"

"I just think Xiaoruan’s assistant is quite nice. It’s tough for a young girl to be an assistant, running around with you all the time. She even had to be a caregiver when you were in the hospital and didn’t complain. My club is short on staff, so if you’re not happy with her, just fire her and I’ll take her."

"I’m not introducing you to a girlfriend, so why are you getting all worked up?"

...

Qi Zeyan couldn’t believe that one sentence from him led Jiang Chengsi to go on a rant.

Jiang Chengsi looked at him, "Qi Zeyan, I’ve been finding you annoying for a while. What’s wrong with you lately? You’re always distracted and not focused on anything. No wonder Grandpa Qi won’t let you return to the company. There’s something off with you."

"I feel like I need to scold you a bit..."

"Are you awake now? How does it feel?"

Tang Wan sat on the side and couldn’t help but laugh.

In fact, compared to the other brothers of the Jiang Family, Jiang Chengsi might appear a bit naive but he’s quite shrewd.
