<h4>Chapter 434: 279 Big Brother Was Tackled: A Lover’s Kiss, Rtives Two Lines of Tears</h4>


    The happenings between Jiang Yanting and Shen Zhixian caused quite a stir in the Beijing circle.


    "I can’t believe the cold and aloof Second Master Jiang, of all people, would fall into such a trap. I thought no woman could catch his eye, being the leading figure of the younger generation."


    "Tell me, which family’s daughter in Beijing has more money than that Xie Family’s Miss? If it were me, I’d chase after her too!"


    "I just don’t understand if the Miss is willing to be the stepmother to the Jiang Family’s little tyrant."


    "Poor Mr. Xie, he and Second Master Jiang were equals before. I wonder how he feels about this now."


    ...


    Online and in gossip circles, the issue remained a hot topic.


    Even some relentless reporters followed by car, but once they entered Hexi territory, they dared not proceed further...


    "Why have we stopped? If we don’t keep up, we won’t even see their tail lights."


    "We’ve reached Hexi."


    "What?"


    "In Hexi, not a grain of sand can pass those watchful eyes. On his turf, if we’re discovered..." The Huo Family of Beijing is inherently revered, and by unspoken agreement, no one dares to act rashly or engage in sneaky activities like tailing or secretly taking photos.


    "What do we do then? Stop following?"


    "They say the Second Master and that person have a good rtionship. I don’t have the guts, maybe you want to drive?"


    ...


    With looks exchanged, no one dared take the lead, so they had to turn their car around.

    After the meeting, it was already veryte when Wanwan and Ruan Mengxi ate lunch together and returned to the Jiang Family. The elderlydy grabbed her and inquired in detail about the situation.


    Jiang Jinsang listened from the side, twirling his fingers:


    "Big brother took his sister-inw away in style, leaving his wife right there?"


    "Yanting did well this time, arriving just in time," the elderlydy was very pleased.


    Since Xie’s annual meeting where kin were recognized, and because of the potential huge inheritance Shen Zhixian could receive, the Beijing circle had been watching her closely; now that she’s tagged with their Jiang Family’sbel, she was curious to see who still dared topete with their family for people.


    Thendline suddenly rang; it was Mr. Xie’s call, "Hello—Old Xie."


    The elderlydy’s voice revealed her happiness.


    "Yanting handled things well today. I wasn’t wrong about him."


    "It’s to be expected, and besides, that ’pretty boy’ spoke the truth; it was him. If he didn’te forward, allowing Zhixian to be criticized, I’d break his legs if he returned."


    "I think the two kids get along quite well."


    "Yes, yes."


    ...


    The elderlydy had just hung up when she caught a glimpse of Jiang Chengsiing downstairs.


    "The Xie Family is quite satisfied with Yanting; it seems good news is on the horizon. Chengsi, when will I worry less about you?"


    Jiang Chengsi responded dryly, "Because sister-inw brought a child, the Xie Family approached the second brother, thinking their simr situations would make them empathetic to each other, relying on each other. If they knew it was the second brother who impregnated sister-inw, imagine what Mr. Xie would think..."


    "I heard at Xie’s annual meeting, Mr. Xie didn’t spare Xie Jing at all. He would probably be even harsher if he learned about this."


    "My brother’s legs wouldn’t be broken by your hands but by his cane."


    The elderlydy yfully raised her hand as if to strike him, "You scoundrel, you can’t speak without spitting garbage, get out of my sight."


    "Alright, I’m leaving right away!"


    Jiang Chengsi, waiting for these words, grabbed his car keys, hopped on his beloved scooter, and zipped away.


    "That boy..." The elderlydy, in good spirits today, chose not to let it upset her.


    At this moment, Fan Mingyu came out of the house, "Wanwan, why don’t you rest today, and we’ll go out another day."


    They were supposed to visit Jiang Jinsang’s grandfather at the Fan Family home today but were dyed due to Shen Zhixian’s sudden incident.


    "No need to change the schedule, I’ll just change my clothes and freshen up." She had already promised the elderly man and didn’t want to disappoint him.


    "I’ll wait for you downstairs with Xiaowu."

    Jiang Yanting and Shen Zhixian had returned home, it was nearly two in the afternoon, and they hadn’t yet eaten. Shen Zhixian quickly boiled some dumplings, and they sat facing each other, her peripheral vision catching sight of the red wine previously given by Jiang Jinsang.


    "Drinking at this hour?" Jiang Yanting raised his eyebrows at her.


    "Can I have a little?"


    "Sure."


    Shen Zhixian fetched the wine and sses, pouring herself a drink, "...do you know? Since I was born, I’ve been unwee; they said it was because I was there that my mom refused to remarry, working herself to death to raise me."


    "Mother passed away, and I was fostered in rtives’ homes."


    "When the Xie Family found me, it all felt so unreal, just like a melodramatic TV show, just when I thought heaven was finally being kind to me, the child had an ident...
