Chapter 751: Chapter 741: Liking Xixi and Xixi’s Partner

The Xiyuan Guesthouse has welcomed new guests.

On their way back, Shen Yunqing notified Xia Zhi that two elders would be coming to stay for a while, so by the time they returned, the guesthouse had already been efficiently tidied up.

The car stopped at the entrance of the guesthouse, Jiang Cisheng helped his wife out of the car and looked at the brightly lit yard before them, then heard his wife say, "It’s really beautiful!"

Indeed, it’s really beautiful.

He nodded in silent agreement.

At the dinner table previously, even though he had already guessed that his low-key and inconspicuous grandnephew-in-law was probably not ordinary, he truly did not expect him to be this extraordinary.

To own such a large estate in the Imperial City, where every inch of land is worth gold, even if it’s in a remote area, is not something that an average person could own, nor build such an elegantly styled garden.

It’s well known that the more retro the garden’s construction, the higher the costs.

Moreover, he finally understood how spacious the place was as his grandniece had claimed before deciding to move in.

It’s really spacious!

In front, there’s even a lake surrounded by a circle of beautiful fairy lights.

Plus, there are surveillance cameras and bodyguards.

This way, Yinyin doesn’t have to stay cooped up in a room less than a hundred square meters, doing what little she can, or simply waiting at the foyer for him to come home.

She can completely walk around from the room under surveillance or with a bodyguard in tow.

Jiang Lingxi also heard the small aunt blurt out "really beautiful", "As long as small aunt is satisfied," and then saw the other covering her mouth to stifle a yawn, "It’s getting late, both small uncle and small aunt have been on the road all day, better go in and rest first. Everything’s prepared in the room, it doesn’t matter if the luggage is unpacked tomorrow."

"Mm, thank you, Xixi."

Jiang Cisheng watched their two juniors leave and holding his wife’s hand, stepped into the guesthouse.

The luggage they brought was already deftly taken in by Xia Zhi.

"Yinyin likes Xixi a lot?"

Others might not notice, but having lived with his wife for over a decade, he could sense her mood changes.

Plus, his Yinyin is quite sensitive!

"She likes them all."

"And also likes Xixi’s partner?"

"Mm-hmm."

Jiang Cisheng: "..."

This is their first meeting!

Although he knew his wife’s affection for the grandnephew-in-law was just purely fondness for a junior, similar to her affection for the grandniece, he still felt a bit sour!

Jiang Lingxi, after washing up, leaned against the headboard and insisted on finishing reading the remaining part of the script before lying down.

She turned and looked at Shen Yunqing, who also put down the book almost simultaneously.

"In two days, it will be the Lantern Festival, and now that small uncle and small aunt are living here, why not get everyone together to celebrate the Lantern Festival?"

She had to admit the excitement from New Year’s Eve hadn’t dissipated yet.

Plus, after the Lantern Festival, those who work would resume, and those who attend school would start classes. The holiday season would be completely over, and gathering everyone again might not happen until the end of the year.

"We could make lanterns, cook tangyuan, and have a meal together; afterwards, each of us gets busy, what do you think?"

"Does Your Majesty know how to make lanterns?"

"I can learn if I don’t know."

"Then I’ll be waiting for the lanterns made by Your Majesty."

The Lantern Festival’s festivities in Imperial City are abundant with lantern fairs, but considering their current fame, it’s better not to venture out for fear of being recognized and causing any incidents.

Luckily, the house is spacious, so hosting a small lantern fair for a bit of amusement is feasible.

The next morning, as they went to accompany the two elders in the guesthouse for breakfast, Jiang Lingxi brought up the impromptu idea at the dinner table.

"Gather here to celebrate the Lantern Festival?" Jiang Cisheng looked at the grandniece who suggested it, then at his wife whose eyes shone brightly, almost nodding immediately, "Will the people from both families come?"

Jiang Lingxi glanced at Shen Yunqing, "On my side, it’s just my parents and Xiaoxu; on Yunqing’s side, the elders probably don’t have time, but I plan to invite a few cousins over to hang out, and a sister I acknowledge along with her grandmother, they should be able to come."

"It seems like a lot of people," Jiang Cisheng smiled and nodded, "It’ll be bustling for sure."

During the Lantern Festivals in Mao City, he took his wife a couple of times, but in such crowded settings, most of his attention was guarding his wife, not fully enjoying himself.

Regardless of whether he likes it or not, Yinyin enjoys the hustle and bustle, so she will likely be happy.

After breakfast, Jiang Lingxi sent out the proposal to gather on Lantern Festival day to several family group chats.

Shen Qingzhou was the first to respond, also asking if he could bring his fiancée along, to which Jiang Lingxi replied with a welcoming emoji.

Within a few minutes, others also responded one after another, indicating they weren’t busy at the moment.

But the four people who finished breakfast together were already off to their respective tasks.

Shen Yunqing was busy between Yinhe Palace Museum and the company.

Jiang Lingxi went to the neighboring courtyard to memorize her script; she was determined to secure the role, knowing she had to memorize it eventually.

After organizing the luggage they would use for the upcoming period, Jiang Cisheng, not busy with other things, asked Xia Zhi to show him and his wife around the guesthouse area to get familiar with the surroundings. This way, when he starts focusing on the company in a couple of days, Yinyin could stroll around for a change of pace.

On Jiang Wenjia’s side, however, things were hectic.

Not to mention preparing for the Lantern Festival and eating tangyuan, she even wanted to pause time!

Before the issue of her substituting inferior materials in procurement could explode, Yue Sheng’s finances went wrong first.

Since the financial department came under scrutiny, Jiang Peng had been on tenterhooks.

The financial department indeed had shady dealings!

Even Jiang Wenjia, who was in charge of procurement, knew there were discrepancies in the company’s accounts, so much so that she felt it in her heart.

He spent days pleading and trying every method, but this time, the officials were exceptionally impartial, rendering all efforts useless.

Thus, before any cash influx could come after the new year, Yue Sheng received a hefty fine, bringing the already precarious company to the brink.

When he heard of resignations and escapes in various departments, even his longtime assistant was quietly preparing a resume, Jiang Peng had a fit and was rushed to the hospital.

This time, Jiang Wenjia couldn’t keep hiding, so she braced herself to visit her just-awakened father in the hospital.

She didn’t even have time to say any filial words before Jiang Peng, lying in the hospital bed, instructed her, "Quickly call your sister. I can’t believe that with your father on his deathbed, she wouldn’t have the heart to come and see me!"

Jiang Wenjia: "..."

She believed it!

Jiang Wenhu could truly be that heartless!
