Chapter 1811: Little Generation Side Story (62): Returning to the Capital, Unexpected Events, Blocking Third Master Fu

Jiang Ruan returning to Beijing brought the most joy to both the Jiang and Si Families. Jiang Mutang went to the old mansion to help her great-grandmother measure her blood pressure, and the old lady specially took out the tin box of pastries she had saved to let Jiang Mutang deliver to her.

These were brought by others to show filial respect to her, but the old lady only remembered that her little great-granddaughter liked them.

Among the younger generation of the Jiang Family, only Jiang Ruan was studying out of town and couldn’t be seen often, so the old lady missed her even more, saving all the good food for her.

When Jiang Mutang delivered the items to the Si Family, she happened to run into Jiang Chengsi going to the airport to pick someone up.

"Fourth Uncle."

Jiang Mutang looked him over; it was cold with a chance of snow, yet he was dressed so lightly.

In his memory, his father, because of his past health issues, was always coaxed by his mother into wearing many layers in winter, unlike this Fourth Uncle, who dressed fashionably unless going to work.

Especially today, since he was going to pick up his daughter, he was dressed in a brand new outfit, more stylish than young people.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Chengsi saw him carrying something and immediately understood, "Did you go to the old mansion?"

"Great-grandma asked me to bring them."

Jiang Chengsi looked a bit helpless, "I already told her I would take Ruan Ruan to see her tomorrow, this old lady really can’t wait a moment."

Jiang Mutang just smiled.

"Come in first, stay for dinner at our house today."

"No, I have other things to do."

Ever since witnessing Yan Chi’s antics, Jiang Mutang hasn’t wanted to visit the Si Family.

Especially with Jiang Ruan returning to Beijing, if he were caught by Fourth Uncle, he would definitely be implicated.

"Why are you being so formal with me? Your godmother’s family will also come later, all familiar faces." Jiang Chengsi was in a cheerful mood today, speaking louder than usual, as a happy event lifts one’s spirits, and he looked at Jiang Mutang with extra fondness.

"Alright, it’s settled then, your sister’s flight is almost here. I’ll head to the airport first, if you’re gone when I return, I’ll go to your house and drag you back."

Jiang Mutang: "..."

Jiang Chengsi really would do such a thing, so Jiang Mutang could only nod in agreement.

...

As for the airport

The flight announcement indicated the approach to Beijing, waking Jiang Ruan from her slumber. The plane was descending, and through the clouds, the outlines of rivers and land were visible below.

"Awake? We’re almost there." Yan Chi had been using his computer to look over some documents, as the end of the year kept him busy with work.

Jiang Ruan straightened her back and stretched, "Are we following the plan later?"

"Yes, I’ve spoken with my brother-in-law. He’ll pick me up, and we’ll discuss further."

Their plan was simple; having just returned to Beijing, they couldn’t head straight over. Jiang Ruan would spend tomorrow at the Jiang Mansion with the old lady, so Yan Chi planned to visit the Si Family with his sister and brother-in-law the day after tomorrow.

Until then, they didn’t plan to meet anyone.

"Let me know when you’re coming, so I can give my family a heads-up." Jiang Ruan felt a bit nervous inside.

But plans often can’t keep up with changes.

**

After disembarking and collecting their luggage, Jiang Ruan left ahead to avoid their relationship from being prematurely exposed.

At the exit, she not only saw her father but also saw the brother-in-law who came to pick up Yan Chi—

Fu Chen!

The two stood together, seemingly chatting about something.

Jiang Ruan’s pupils slightly contracted, how did these two meet?

He had agreed with Yan Chi to leave separately to avoid running into Jiang Chengsi.

Given his personality, he would definitely pull Yan Chi to the Si Family for dinner, and if she and Yan Chi continued to hide their relationship, the Si Family and Jiang Chengsi would feel deceived.

Moreover, Yan Chi needed to prepare gifts for the visit, having just deplaned, he was too travel-weary to visit the Si Family.

"Ruan Ruan." Jiang Chengsi, spotting his daughter, waved at her. Though puzzled, Jiang Ruan still smiled and walked over, "Dad."

"This is Mr. Fu San, if we follow the family hierarchy, you could call him Grandpa." Jiang Chengsi, thinking his daughter didn’t know Fu Chen, introduced them, "Mr. Fu, this is my daughter, Jiang Ruan."

"Hello, Mr. Fu." Jiang Ruan felt awkward calling him Grandpa, so she addressed him as Mr. Fu.

Looking at Fu Chen with wide eyes, she was deeply confused.

How did he end up with her father?

Fu Chen also couldn’t explain at that moment, feeling just as helpless.

About five or six minutes later, Yan Chi emerged, unaware and surprised to see the three of them together.

Originally, his nephew was to pick him up, but Fu Chen wanted to have a good chat with him, so he personally came. Yan Chi had told him not to leave the parking area, just to inform him of the parking spot so he could find him.
