Chapter 659: 414 The honest young man’s sudden tenderness (2 updates)_2
That feeling, their own wall had already been pushed over, and they only knew it! Old Master Shen was frustrated for a long time.
Being well-read and smart didn’t necessarily make someone a good person.
Therefore, the elder couple of the Shen Family really didn’t care for these highly educated intellectuals, treating Jiang Shiyi with an average attitude, just like any other junior.
Compared with him, they actually preferred the chatty and endearing Jiang Chengsi.
The siblings of the Jiang Family looked different from each other and had varying temperaments, but there was always one that you would particularly like.
...
At this moment, Qi Zeyan had just met a few acquaintances and joined Huo Qinqi, looking at the few Jiang brothers all gathered together, "Old Huo, let’s also go over and say hello."
Huo Qinqi didn’t say a word, and Qi Zeyan knew he wasn’t fond of social interactions, thinking he didn’t want to go, he even gave him an introduction.
"Sitting next to Xiaowu is Old Master Tang, and the other two elders are your sister-in-law’s grandparents, relatives of our own brothers, so they’re not outsiders. It wouldn’t be too much to go over and say hello." Qi Zeyan nudged his arm, "Aren’t those Miss Shen’s parents? Don’t you want to make your presence felt?"
Huo Qinqi, "Since you’ve put it this way, let’s go over then."
Qi Zeyan: "..."
**
When the two arrived, Jiang Shiyi and his brother had already left, only Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang were accompanying them.
"Grandpa Tang." Qi Zeyan, long immersed in the business world, naturally knew how to please elders, "It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, you really seem more vigorous and robust."
"It has been a while." Old Master Tang smiled.
"I’ll introduce you to..." Jiang Jinsang stood up, to the three elders, Huo Qinqi was probably a stranger, "This is Huo Qinqi, a friend of my brother and me, and also a groomsman this time."
Old Master Shen hadn’t expected that they had just been talking about him, and now he was there in person. Sitting in his chair, holding his teacup, he slightly looked up at him...
This guy was really tall!
"Since we all know each other, no need to stand on ceremony, please sit down." The old lady was quite happy, sneakily sizing up Huo Qinqi.
He was very impressive-looking.
...
But as the guests arrived one after another, Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang had to go out to help, Qi Zeyan knew too many people and was quickly pulled away to chat. Oddly enough, this corner was left with only the three elders and Huo Qinqi.
"Did Tang Wan’s grandparent’s family all come? Where are they?" There was no lack of people who had their eye on Shen Shuci, now not seeing her, they also wanted to go over and make an impression in front of her parents.
"They’re sitting with Old Master Tang, over there!"
The crowd looked over and noticed a big shot sitting next to the elderly couple: "Is that... Lord Huo?"
"Who else? A lot of people wanted to go say hello, but with Lord Huo there, who the hell dares to approach."
"We’ll just have to wait until we toast during the banquet to familiarize ourselves with his face."
...
Too many people wanted to approach, but they were all scared off by Huo Qinqi.
Old Madam Shen kept examining Huo Qinqi, whose professional demeanor meant he sat with a straight back, even when sitting. Seeing her teacup was empty, he took the initiative to refill her water.
"I can do it myself." The old lady said with a smile.
"As a junior, it’s my duty." Huo Qinqi lifted his hand and touched the teapot, "The water’s gone cold, I’ll get a new pot."
"No need, no need..."
He was always one for action; the old lady hadn’t finished speaking, and he was already off to change the water.
The old lady watched his retreating figure, a face full of satisfaction, "This young man really is good, despite his cold appearance, he’s very attentive."
"Ha—" old Master Shen snorted.

Shen Shuci had changed her evening gown and stayed in the changing room for a while before entering the banquet hall. After looking around for a bit, she headed straight for her parents.
After greeting them, the old lady pulled her to sit down, "Isn’t that a dress, aren’t you cold wearing that today?"
"I’m not cold, the hall has air conditioning." And Shen Shuci was wearing a coat. She was thirsty and looked at the table which had cups but no teapot, "No water?"
"No, the water was cold, a young man went to get us hot water." The old lady held her hand, "You’ve been running with the bride all day, are you tired?"
"I’m fine, most of the tasks were done by the other bridesmaids, I was just there to make up numbers."
"Shuci, let me tell you, I think there’s a young man who’s very good..." the old lady said with a smile.
"Don’t listen to your mother’s nonsense, he just changed a pot of water for her, and she’s all wooed and dizzy now, thinking everything about him is good." Old Master Shen light snorted, "That young man speaks too little."
"It’s good that he speaks little, much better than some who smear honey on their lips, who can only say sweet nothings, yet can’t do anything. The kind that don’t talk much but get things done, that’s being reliable. Someone like that, that’s who you can marry. Are you going to rely on a few sweet words to enchant you, to get through a lifetime?"
