The dinner ended around 8 p.m., and although the car was already parked, the farewell greetings were not yet over.
Cheng Yanzhe walked beside Yu Landong and asked considerately, "Grandma, are you waiting until next spring to go back to Jiangcheng to recuperate?"
"yes."
"Then I will definitely bring Youli to Jiangcheng to see you next year."
"We've known each other for a long time, don't be so polite."
"You're being so kind. It's all the right thing to do."
...
After seeing the old lady off to her car, Jiang Zhuoli politely offered to see Cheng Yanzhe off as well. After all, he had put in a lot of effort to host this event tonight, but there had been no progress, which was not a good look on his face.
Cheng Yanzhe was not displeased by this and remained amicable, saying, "Old Jiang, there's no need to be so polite."
"What are you talking about? You're being all coy just because an old friend is seeing you off?"
With Jiang Zhuoli exchanging pleasantries ahead, along with his elder brother and sister-in-law, Jiang Siyan naturally didn't bother to go forward. Instead, he carried Jiang Tingxu and walked at the very back, leaning against the car where the old lady was sitting.
After playing around for a while, the little ball of flesh had exhausted its energy and was now obediently perched on Jiang Siyan's shoulder, blinking its big eyes and looking around.
Yu Landong stretched a hand out of the window to tease him, while jokingly saying to Jiang Siyan, "Siyan, your temper is much better now, you deserve praise."
Given his past personality, he would have definitely turned against his father for something that wasn't discussed with him beforehand. It's already rare that he was able to sit down and finish his meal today.
Jiang Siyan said in a nonchalant tone, "Grandma, how old am I? Would you like to give me a big red flower as a reward?"
"Okay," Yu Landong readily agreed, then smiled at him like a playful old man, "Why are you late today?"
Jiang Siyan laughed, "Little old lady, trying to trick me into telling you something."
"You're so disrespectful, why would I try to get information out of you?" Yu Landong waved her hand, seemingly extremely carefree, but a few seconds later, she coughed lightly and casually asked, "Is there anyone you want to introduce to Grandma?"
When Jiang Siyan entered the room earlier, his collar was open and he had a broad smile, giving him the air of a dashing rogue.
Anyone with eyes could see that he had a smile in his eyes, clearly indicating that he was in a good mood.
As for why...
"No, little old lady, don't think about these things all the time."
"Hey..." Yu Landong was about to slap him when she heard Jiang Zhuoli, a few steps away, angrily curse, "You brat!"
Jiang Siyan covered Jiang Tingxu's ears, lazily raised his eyes, and said without any panic, "Who has offended you? You were all smiles just now."
Seeing his unyielding attitude, Jiang Zhuoli became even more furious.
Just before Cheng Yanzhe got into the car, he held his hand and spoke frankly, meaning that if the two children didn't get along, the marriage would be off, and they would just be friends.
How could he not be angry?
But considering the presence of the old lady and her grandson, Jiang Zhuoli could only glare at Jiang Siyan and threaten, "Don't think I don't know where you're from. I think you've been bewitched by that actress! You should break up with this shady character as soon as possible! Otherwise, you'll make a scene that everyone will know about."
The meaning is quite clear: if he doesn't settle down, then he can't blame anyone for taking action.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Siyan's gaze grew even darker, but his face remained nonchalantly smiling. "Dad, try touching her."
"you!"
Jiang Xuanji interrupted the argument in time, "Dad, Tingxu and the old lady are still here."
Yu Landong's expression also turned solemn. She frowned and impatiently scolded her son: "Let Si Yan like whoever he wants. Don't try to make decisions for him."
"mom!"
"What? You want to lecture me with your low-class ideas?"
The old lady couldn't stand how these people were acting these days, always bringing up the so-called class differences.
The atmosphere was so tense that even the little one dozing off on Jiang Siyan's shoulder could feel it.
Jiang Tingxu stared blankly for a few seconds, mumbling incoherently, a sign that he was about to cry out.
This sound perfectly calmed the tense atmosphere.
Liang Xin reached out to take him, "Tingxu, come here, let Mommy hug you, let's go home."
Jiang Tingxu glanced at his mother for a few seconds, then hugged Jiang Siyan's neck tightly and shook his head repeatedly, "Uncle! I want it! I want it!"
In just a few words, he clearly expressed his thoughts.
"Uncle is going home." Liang Xin said, and tried to forcibly pick up the little guy.
It was quite strange, but after playing with the little guy for a few days, he was very willing to stay with Jiang Siyan.
Upon seeing this, Yu Landong had a sudden inspiration and said softly, "Xuanji, I heard from Xin'er that you're going to meet up with your friends later, right? It's not convenient to bring this little guy along. Why don't you let Yan Ge take care of him for the night? He's Tingxu's uncle, and he has a nanny at home. He can't be any worse than a nanny."
Jiang Siyan shielded the little guy's fidgeting back, chuckled helplessly, and didn't take his words seriously. "Grandma, what are you joking about now?"
Jiang Zhuoli was still angry, but seeing his unwilling expression, she took the opportunity to speak up, "The old lady is right. You held your nephew tightly all night. If you like him so much, take him home."
Jiang Siyan's face darkened. There was a little girl waiting for him at home. What kind of business was it to bring such a little kid back with him?
Just then, as if the little guy understood what they were saying, he kept bouncing around on him, shouting, "Go! Go!"
He gently patted the little guy's bottom and declined, saying, "I've never taken care of a child before, and I'm sure my brother and sister-in-law wouldn't feel comfortable with that."
After saying that, Jiang Xuanji waved his hand without any politeness, "Hey, your sister-in-law and I don't need to worry. Si Yan, we'll have to trouble you tonight. I'll have the driver put his diapers and bottles in your car."
He spoke so quickly that he didn't give Jiang Siyan a chance to refuse.
The little guy is adorable, but he's also mischievous. Who would refuse the opportunity to have their own time?
Jiang Siyan tried to refuse, "Big brother..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Xuanji put his arm around Liang Xin's waist and said goodbye to his son, "Xuxu, listen to your uncle. Siyan, I'll send you the instructions in a bit."
The old lady pressed her advantage, closing the window as she said, "Alright, alright, it's settled then. Time to get on the bus and go home."
The two cars drove away one after the other, leaving Jiang Siyan and the little one in his arms staring at each other.
Jiang Tingxu was very happy, and he tugged at Jiang Siyan's hair at the back of his head while calling out, "Uncle, Uncle."
Jiang Siyan was full of displeasure. He pinched Jiang Tingxu's cheek symbolically and said, "Behave yourself when you get back."
