Chapter 1349 - 772: Has Xiaosi Won Over His Future Father-in-Law? The So-Called Surprise (3 Updates)

Jiang Shiyi over here is basking in the spring breeze, completely forgetting that his younger brother is still in deep water and fiery flames.

Jiang Chengsi is currently sitting in the Si Family’s car. Si Qingxiao was arranged in another car, and sitting beside him now is Si Yushan, a mature man with a powerful aura.

Jiang Chengsi sits with his back straight, feeling anxious.

"What’s wrong? Afraid of me?" Si Yushan smiles at him. Jiang Chengsi is quite a likable person; after being annoyed all night, seeing him so nervous actually makes Si Yushan find him amusing.

"No."

"You didn’t act like this the previous times you saw me." Si Yushan looks at him.

"I..."

"Scoot over a bit." The car is spacious enough for three people in the back row without being crowded. Jiang Chengsi, though, wanted to maintain some distance between them.

Hearing his words, he slightly shifted over.

"How’s business at the club lately?"

"Not bad, holidays are busier, otherwise it’s alright."

"What’s the consumption level there? Do you have many repeat customers?"

"Also okay, a lot of people just seek novelty, after all, car racing is quite expensive."

Before speaking, Jiang Chengsi would internally filter what he wanted to say several times, and just then, his phone suddenly vibrated.

He quickly took it out for a look...

Group messages, several kept popping out.

[Handling the future father-in-law is easy: bluff him, flatter him, curry favor, stroke him the right way.]

[Mr. Si is famous in the business world for being difficult, you better be careful.]

[I think the best method is to win over Miss Si, then let her deal with him, guaranteed half the effort, twice the effect.]

...

The tone, at a glance, is definitely Qi Zeyan, that bastard, Jiang Chengsi instinctively glanced at the person beside him, only to find Si Yushan fixedly staring at his phone screen.

Jiang Chengsi thought he hadn’t seen it, hurriedly put the phone on silent and shoved it into his pocket.

Si Yushan turned his head to look out the window, wanting to see how this kid plans to handle him.

Arriving at the Si Family’s home, You Yunzhi, knowing he was coming, had personally gone to the kitchen to cook. Knowing Jiang Chengsi is her daughter’s boyfriend, she must be shocked, but the Jiang Family left such a good impression last night that she’s now quite friendly, warmly inviting him to sit down for tea.

"Xiaoxiao, go help your mom in the kitchen, I’ll take him to the yard to have a look around."

"Okay." Si Qingxiao knows her father wants to talk to him alone.

This was inevitable, so Si Qingxiao didn’t stop him.

Jiang Chengsi was nervous to death, following him all the way to the backyard, where there were very few people, he suddenly got the feeling this place was perfect for a murder to leave no traces.

"I heard you can throw some punches?" Si Yushan smiles at him.

"I learned from my... uncle, Huo Qinqi." Jiang Chengsi had never so obediently called Huo Qinqi his uncle.

"The Huo Family’s fighting skills surely aren’t bad, want to spar with me?"

"With you?"

Jiang Chengsi was stunned...

How is he supposed to handle this?

This isn’t like playing chess; winning a round may make Si Yushan uncomfortable, but sparring involves hands and feet, if he really hurts Si Yushan, he’s done for.

Escaped granny’s cane, didn’t escape future father-in-law’s beating.

Jiang Chengsi considered if hitting himself would let him vent his anger, making him treat him better, he’d accept it.

Jiang Chengsi nodded in agreement, took off his jacket, and slightly loosened up his muscles. He hadn’t moved for a long time, and the main reason for moving was also to relieve his tension, while Si Yushan was calm, took off his coat, and just stared at him.

The Si Family people are watching from far away.

Seeing both of them take off their jackets;

Seeing both of them engaged in combat;

Seeing their sir lift his leg to kick him, but Jiang Chengsi blocked it;

Seeing Jiang Chengsi step back repeatedly, in a passive position, just when everyone thought Fourth Master would get beaten, Si Yushan stopped, didn’t even take his coat, and went back with Jiang Chengsi...

Jiang Chengsi, equally baffled, quickly grabbed both jackets and chased after him.

"Uncle..." Why did you stop?

Si Yushan, with a cold face, said nothing, went back indoors, still looking grim and directly returned to his room.

"What happened?" Si Qingxiao quickly came out of the kitchen.

"I don’t know." Jiang Chengsi was puzzled, still holding Si Yushan’s coat, not understanding.

"You two... got physical?" In the sudden chilly spring, it’s still somewhat cold, an outerwear is needed.

"Just started, went through a couple of moves, then he stopped suddenly and walked back without a word. I don’t know what’s happening? I really didn’t touch him, I was dodging him, it’s... quite sudden." Jiang Chengsi was completely clueless.

Si Qingxiao knocked on her father’s door, "Dad, are you okay?"

"I’m fine."

How could Si Yushan tell his daughter...

He hadn’t exercised for a long time, didn’t do any warm-ups, and sprained his waist slightly, not serious but causing a muscle to twitch painfully every so often.

Really embarrassing!

...

This also made Si Yushan keep a cold face throughout the meal.

You Yunzhi and Si Qingxiao couldn’t figure it out, and Jiang Chengsi was naturally doubly confused.

Si Yushan isn’t angry at Jiang Chengsi, but at himself:

This old physique, so useless.

Being mad at himself, he didn’t bother troubling Jiang Chengsi further, rather most of the conversation revolved around Jiang’s future plans.

"Right now, I just want to manage the shops I have well, then run the club properly."

"I know you’re managing bars and clubs..." Si Yushan states, "I don’t have any prejudice against these, nor dissatisfaction with your club management, I understand your love for cars and racing, but can you do this forever? Even professional racers have age limits."

"I hope you can make good life plans, like determining what to do at what stage, and even if you don’t race anymore, what else can you do?"

"Maybe it’s a bit far off right now, and not certain how far you and my daughter will get, but my advice is beneficial for you."

You have to admit, some professions really have strict age requirements.

"I understand what you mean." Jiang Chengsi nods.

"Are you interested in running a company?"

"..."

Si Qingxiao was slightly stunned.

"With your experience managing bars and clubs, commerce is quite similar, if you’re interested, I can guide you."

Jiang Chengsi was overwhelmed, thinking he was being accepted and just about to thank him, Si Yushan continued saying:

"Just as compensation for you saving my daughter, you’re just dating, we aren’t family, it’s better to clear account specifics."

Regardless of their relationship, the Si Family owes Jiang Chengsi twice over, and needs to repay him.

"Thank you, Uncle." Jiang Chengsi thanked him anyway.

Whether Si Yushan intends to repay favor or not, having the chance to approach him and build a good relationship is the priority.

So when Jiang Chengsi left the Si Family, he intentionally boasted in the group chat, saying Si Yushan was going to teach him business.

Jiang Xiaowu: [How desperate is Mr. Si to teach you business?]

Qiqi: [Are you going under? Xiaosi, you’re kidding me, right? With that intelligence, in the jaws of capital, not even bone scraps will be left.]

Second Brother: [Mr. Si personally guiding you? Seize the opportunity, following him, learn both business and his ways of life.]

...

Everyone thought Jiang Chengsi must be blessed with the luck of fools.

Qiqi: [Got any plans for tonight? Go sit at your club?]

Jiang Chengsi replies directly: [Not going, I have to go home and clean the garage. I can’t keep living in this house.]

[Not staying at the wedding house anymore?] Qi Zeyan recalls this matter and finds it quite absurd.

Yet Jiang Chengsi found a house, even asking for his help. In Beijing, houses with large enough garages are really scarce, some villas do have them, but who among the wealthy is ready to rent?

He actually moved into the wedding house prepared by the Si Family for Si Qingxiao, completely unaware, truly incredible!

Jiang Chengsi considered it, knowing it was a wedding house.

Continuing to live there felt inappropriate, better to move out first and discuss later.

Jiang Chengsi was in a good mood, so he wandered around the club, then went to the bar. He specifically took a bit of alcohol, bought some snacks, ready to go home and have a drink with his brother.

"My brother will definitely be surprised and happy to see me." Living alone, without anyone to drink and chat with, too many things happening lately, he just wanted a good chat with his brother.

Someone gleefully returns home, while the dear brother...

May not actually find it surprising or delightful.
