Chapter 1274: Chapter 738: The Kindergarten Grudge, Fifth Master’s Underhanded Assist (2 Updates)

Pingjiang Wanbaohui Mall

Si Qingxiao was helping Jiang Chengsi pick out clothes. In this regard, she generally had quite picky taste. Many clothes that Jiang Chengsi thought were nice, she didn’t fancy at all.

The look in her eyes seemed to say:

[You actually think this kind of clothing looks good?]

But Si Qingxiao just laughed, said it was okay, and turned around to continue picking clothes, not sparing a glance at the clothes he chose.

Some guys’ sense of fashion is really quite scary.

Jiang Chengsi’s opinions were acknowledged by Si Qingxiao with a nod, but she didn’t accept them. Very soon, he just turned into a mannequin trying on clothes as needed.

Following behind her, helping carry things, he was the type of person who could always find fun for himself. Just then, the group chat was lively, so he chimed in a bit.

It all started when Qi Zeyan, after getting engaged, successfully drove a car and was showing off in the group.

Showering everyone with red envelopes.

For just driving a car, was all that necessary?

Jiang Chengsi sneered at this, but the chat was not focused on him; instead, it was about Huo Qinqi returning to Beijing soon since Shen Shuci’s due date was approaching.

The conversation was stirred up by Jiang Yanting. He asked Huo Qinqi if he preferred a boy or girl, and mentioned that Qi Zeyan was about to get married, suggesting whether the two families should arrange a child betrothal.

Qi Zeyan instantly got upset:

[No way, what era do you think this is, still talking about arranged child marriages?]

Huo Qinqi frowned and replied: [Your tone seems like you’re looking down on our family? Not satisfied with my child?]

Qi Zeyan was exasperated:

Damn, we’re chatting on WeChat using text, how did you even hear my tone?

[Old Huo, I didn’t mean that, it’s that our family isn’t good enough.]

Just thinking about becoming in-laws with Huo Qinqi made Qi Zeyan want to bang his head against a wall.

[Why isn’t your family good enough, are you saying your child isn’t excellent enough? No confidence in the child you’ve raised?] Huo Qinqi replied again.

Qi Zeyan took a deep breath, why did this guy pick such tricky angles to argue? If he had kids, he’d definitely think his own were the best in the world!

I just don’t want any damn in-laws relationship with you, can’t you see?

...

The two were "arguing" indefinitely in the group, while Jiang Yanting, who stirred the pot, was long gone.

Jiang Chengsi was just browsing through the chat history for amusement and casually chimed in:

[Old Huo, he just dislikes your family.]

Qi Zeyan: [Jiang Xiaosi, shut up, don’t stir things up.]

[How am I stirring things up?]

[Where are you in Pingjiang? Send me the address, and I’ll come find you if you dare.]

[I’m at Wanbaohui in the city center, come over.]

[Wanbaohui? How come there’s a Wanbaohui in Pingjiang?] Qi Zeyan frowned, and even though it was just text, you could sense his disdain.

This Wanbaohui is a chain mall under the Beijing Duan Family.

The Duan Family is a prestigious family in Beijing, and although they’re in Beijing, they’re friends with the Fu Family and Jing Family and aren’t in the same circle as them. Generally, they might encounter each other in major events, but it’s a situation of kings not meeting kings.

Especially that young master of the Duan Family—Duan Linbai; he and Qi Zeyan have been sworn enemies since kindergarten.

They’re already in their twenties and thirties, it’s not like they’d still be talking about kindergarten grudges when they meet, but their relationship isn’t good. There’s some business competition, and they’re generally like fire and water, known to everyone in the Beijing circle.

Whenever Qi Zeyan hears anything about the Duan Family’s businesses, he sneers.

Jiang Chengsi knew full well that Qi Zeyan didn’t like mentioning anything about the Duan Family, yet he still said in the group:

[I heard that Duan Linbai’s private life is also interesting, you two really are a match, even dating brings you together, maybe your future kids should be together too.]

Qi Zeyan exploded upon hearing this: [Jiang Xiaosi, are you asking for a fight!]

He was in a good mood originally, but this meddling sparked his anger.

That Duan Linbai, always such a wanderer, how could he raise decent kids, his WeChat name is even "The Little White Dragon Among the Waves."

These two even had each other’s WeChat but never chatted, not even exchanging likes, just like zombie accounts lying in the friends list.

Jiang Chengsi, seeing how agitated he got, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

This hornet’s nest, once poked, would definitely sting.

But later Jiang Jinsang showed up and asked Huo Qinqi what they were planning to name the child, and the topic was diverted.
