Chapter 548: The 350-year-old lady stressed: It’s best to eradicate bad thoughts completely, root and all.

In the Jiang family’s old mansion, the living room.

Amidst the rich aroma of tea, there sat an ebony tea table with two cups of white-glazed teacups. The elderly lady had been pruning branches, but when a guest arrived, she invited her to sit, went to wash her hands, and had just returned to pick up her cup when she heard the sound of an engine from outside.

"This heartless kid, still remembers to visit me?" Although the old lady grumbled, she nonetheless turned and directed the servant to bring out his favorite tea snacks.

"Grandma—"

Before seeing him, his voice was heard.

Everyone was drawn to the sound, and as they looked in its direction, they saw a dashing and handsome man stride in with a motorcycle jacket of black and red hues that highlighted his tall stature and long legs. He placed his helmet at the vestibule and casually ran his fingers through his hair...

Smiling towards the room, it was as if he brought in a sprig of spring, brightening the whole space.

"Making such a racket, we have guests." The old lady said with a smile.

Jiang Chengsi was never a rebellious or excessively arrogant person, but rather a sunny and carefree young man with a blatant exuberance that seemed ingrained in his very bones.

"I didn’t notice." Jiang Chengsi said, smiling.

"This is Miss You, Wanwan’s client, and also Xiaowu’s classmate."

"Fourth Master." The woman stood up, wearing a simple and elegant light-colored long dress, her makeup and hair arranged impeccably to the last detail. Jiang Chengsi usually wasn’t interested in matters unrelated to himself, but since Tang Wan had been in the news that morning, he had taken special note and thus recognized her.

He had even discussed the truth of the matter with Jiang Shiyi over breakfast.

After he talked for a long time, Jiang Shiyi threw out two words: "Fake."

Jiang Chengsi laughed, "How can you know the details of the collaboration are faux without knowing the truth?"

Jiang Shiyi gave him a penetrating look, "Chengsi, do you know why, from childhood to now, your academic achievements have never been good?"

"I’m just not interested in studying!"

"The brain is a wonderful thing."

...

Jiang Chengsi was immediately fuming; this was a discussion, not personal attacks.

"I may not know the ins and outs of the entertainment industry, but if there’re truly plans for collaboration, Tang Wan isn’t the type to engage in promotional stunts with this actress." If Tang Wan cared solely for fame and fortune, she could use the Tang family name in Pingjiang to make plenty of money.

"That’s true." Jiang Chengsi nodded.

"To release a joint jewelry line isn’t the same as a celebrity romance, there’s no need to test public opinion; no need for these deceiving acts. Probably the collaboration failed, and they want to ride on the wave of publicity to suck some blood, wouldn’t be surprised if they use public opinion to make Tang Wan reconsider."

Jiang Chengsi looked at the man opposite him, "Brother, I always thought Jiang Xiaowu was the odd one out in our family, but now I realize you share some similarities with him in certain aspects."

"Such as...?"

"Heartlessness."
