Chapter 213: 159 Devil Big Brother's Cunning Moves, Waiting for Her to Approach(2 More Updates) When Qi Zeyan and Ruan Mengxi arrived at the hospital, the patient's room was bustling with activity. Jiang Chengsi had brought Jiangjiang back from the aquarium and dropped by the hospital for a visit. Jiang Yanting also arrived a few minutes earlier, and with Jiang Jinsang there, the room felt crowded.

Ruan Mengxi was very tactful. Among the big shots in the room, she stayed in a corner, quiet as a mouse.

"Got a new assistant?" Jiang Chengsi sized up Ruan Mengxi and then glanced at Qi Zeyan.

"Is that any of your business?" Qi Zeyan instinctively stepped in front of Ruan Mengxi.

In his view, none of the Jiang brothers were good news, especially Jiang Chengsi.

After all, this guy didn't discriminate when it cto indulging his appetites. Ruan Mengxi was his employee, a decent woman, so he couldn't let her be "spoiled" by him.

"Just curious," he said. After all, Qi Zeyan never hired female assistants.

"This is my friend, she just works at his company and hitched a ride," Tang Wan said, pulling Ruan Mengxi to the side to chat.

As evening fell, old Mr. Tang urged everyone to head home. They rarely met, so they planned to gather later in the evening after taking Jiangjiang hfirst. Ruan Mengxi ended up staying a bit longer at the hospital.

Although she inwardly resented her morally questionable and cunning boss, when Mr. Tang asked how her job was going, Ruan Mengxi still smiled and said it was pretty good. Even if she complained in her heart, she wouldn't gossip behind anyone's back.

Jiang Jinsang was originally at the hospital accompanying Tang Wan. However, after Tang Yunxian arrived, he suggested they go out to relax. After dropping Ruan Mengxi home, Jiang Jinsang then asked if she wanted to join Qi Zeyan and others for the gathering.

"Where are they gathering?" Tang Wan asked.

"At Fourth Brother's club, they usually go there." "He runs a club?" "He owns bars, KTVs, and a racing car track too. It's quite profitable." Tang Wan raised an eyebrow. The Jiang family was a family business, and with Jiang Zhaolin's temperament, he would surely want him to join the firm. Why would he allow him to manage these kinds of establishments? "Do you find it strange?" Jiang Jinsang asked, tilting his head.

"He didn't join the company?" "From college to working life, he never followed the path laid out by the family. Uncle wanted him to learn business and join the company, but he went off to play rock music and even broke off relations with the family for a while. Uncle even threatened to disown him." Tang Wan pursed her lips. Cutting off relations was indeed something Jiang Zhaolin would do.

"What happened then?" "Uncle cut off all his financial resources, trying to force him to chome." "Did he comply?" Tang Wan was not familiar with Jiang Chengsi.

But from their few interactions, she could tell his spirit wasn't easily broken.

"Later, he got into racing, participated in competitions, and won quite a bit of prize money which helped him flourish. With that first pot of gold, he opened svenues in Beijing, all bars, clubs, and KTVs-the kind of stuff Uncle thinks is beneath contempt." "His father wouldn't have allowed this, right? Didn't he stop him?" Sconservative elders might have a biased view of bars and such.

"Before Uncle could act, he started using his dad's nto draw in customers. Business involves entertainment; whether it's at his place or someone else's, people might as well give a favor to Uncle." Tang Wan couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Your uncle must have been furious." Their sibling maneuvers... it's a wonder how Jiang Zhaolin hadn't been driven mad by them.

Failing to stop him, he still flaunted his father's nin his shady dealings? "Uncle cares about his reputation and would never publicly declare cutting off ties. What happens in the family stays in the family, so he just let him carry on." At the club, Jiang Chengsi dropped by to check on swork. In one of the private rooms, there were only Qi Zeyan and Jiang Yanting.

"Jiang Yanting, tellhonestly, did you contact Miss Shen from yesterday?" Qi Zeyan was desperate to know how things were progressing between them.

"No." "You don't like her? Why don't you take sinitiative? Aren't you afraid she'll go on other blind dates and get snatched up by someone else?" Blind dates were a continuous thing.

"No, I won't." Jiang Yanting had messaged her the previous night only to learn that he had been blocked, which actually calmed him down completely, and he didn't plan to reach out to her.

"That confident?" Jiang Yanting took a sip of lemon water. "Don't worry, she'll contact me." Qi Zeyan frowned: What sneaky move was he planning now? "Your song is up, why stare atinstead of singing?" Jiang Yanting raised an eyebrow.

"I want to know, what are you up to? How can you be so sure she'll reach out to you?" "Actually, that blind date was orchestrated for her benefit. After all, Miss Xie doesn't need to go on blind dates; it was just a pretext for smoother proceedings." If Jiang Jinsang could see through that, so could Jiang Yanting.

"And then?" Qi Zeyan poured a drink, waiting for him to continue.

"This matchmaking was begged for by Elder Master Xie and my grandmother for a long time, so the Xie Family takes it very seriously." At the end of the day, Qi Zeyan and Miss Xie were just a smokescreen.

"So..." Qi Zeyan sipped his drink.

"I've already told my grandma that I'm quite satisfied with her. After the blind date, the two families will definitely discuss it. I'm satisfied here, what do you think they will do?" Qi Zeyan's fingers paused on his wine glass...

Since the marriage proposal was solicited by the other party, they must be especially satisfied with Jiang Yanting. Now that the Jiang Family feels that development can continue, it shows that these two still have a chance.

Even if Miss Shen didn't want to, they would definitely try to arrange more meetings for them.

Let the Xie Family take the initiative to help matchmake.

What a devilish manipulation, too sly! Too scary.

During the conversation, among the talking people, Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan also arrived.

Seeing these two, paired together, Qi Zeyan felt as if there was a needle poking at his heart, too tormenting. "Have a seat," Jiang Yanting invited them to sit down, "The fourth has gone out, he'll be back soon." But just as his words fell...

Jiang Chengsi had already pushed the door and entered the private room, holding a bottle of red wine, "Qiqi, this is a new red wine, I think you'll like it, I got one for you." Qi Zeyan twitched the corner of his mouth, “Qiqi? You..." Damn it! He couldn't help but want to smash the wine bottle on his forehead, but he held back because Tang Wan was there.

"Doesn't Auntie always call you that?" "That's my mom!" "When you were drunk before, didn't you hugand callmom?" "Get lost-" An 800-year-old incident, he still remembered, truly devilish. How could the Jiang Family produce such a thing! Tang Wan blinked, Qiqi? Jiang Jinsang whispered in her ear, "It's Zeyan's nickname." Tang Wan nodded, trying hard to hold back her laughter, Qiqi? How could he have such a cute nickname? But when children are young, their names are often cuter, which makes sense.

Qi Zeyan was quite frustrated. Not only did he not win the beauty, but now even his nicknwas known, thoroughly embarrassing.

** On the other side at Xie Family's study

Elder Master Xie held a brush, wrapping it in ink, writing big om characters, slightly raised his eyebrows, looking at the person standing opposite, "... this blind date, how do you feel?" "Just so-so." She couldn't directly say she disliked it because they would definitely ask her what dissatisfied her, and she couldn't say...

Jiang Yanting was her old lover! "Just so-so" meant it was somewhat evasive and polite.

"Just so-so?" Master Xie lowered his head, continued writing, "Does that mean, you feel neither good nor bad?" "They are all naturally fine, just not quite..." She pursed her lips, "and I think, they might not likeeither." "I talked over the phone with Granny Jiang last night, and Jiang Yanting quite likes you." She shuddered.

"Meeting for the first time, it's hard to tell anything; you need more contact. Yanting is a child I watched grow up, well, not exactly, but he's a good person. Considering all of Beijing, he's also outstanding. Although he has a child, if you really marry him, you won't lose out." "No, he and I..." "I'm not saying you should marry immediately. Just contact him, think of it as making a friend. It's good for you too. By the way, has he contacted you?" She pursed her lips; she had already blocked him on WeChat, how could he contact her? "He's quite busy with work. You should contact him more, leave an impression. How about going out with him tomorrow?" "Opportunities have to be created by yourself! If you don't invite him, I can help, but in the future, we can't always meddle in young people's affairs, right?" "I'll find a chance to ask him."

"That's right, given your situation, I if haven't even discussed it with the Jiang Family yet if you two can really develop something in the future, then we can bring it up..." After returning to her room, she found Jiang Yanting's WeChat and pulled him out of the block list...

Reach out to him? How should she contact him?
