Chapter 47: Could It Be That Jiang Cheng Is Not Capable?
It looks somewhat familiar.
Si Han was the first to recognize him, "It seems to be our little sister's suitor from university, Jiang Yu's older brother!"
Si Yan raised an eyebrow, "That Jiang Cheng from the Huaiyang Navy?"
He is certainly a capable man.
No one who has had contact with the Huaiyang Military Region is unfamiliar with the name Jiang Cheng.
He was once the youngest and most outstanding naval pilot in the entire Huaiyang Navy, having executed many high-difficulty missions and set many first-time records.
Now he has been promoted to Division Commander and has trained many excellent pilots under his command.
As a man himself, he naturally admires men with real ability.
But wanting to be his brother-in-law is not that simple.
In the past, it was their fault for having poor judgment, which allowed that animal Shen Lan to bully their little sister for so many years.
For their little sister's second marriage, their whole family must be cautious, cautious, and even more cautious!
"Hello, Big Brother!"
When Jiang Cheng saw them, he called out with a full, resonant voice.
Si Yan:...
Who gave him permission to call him Big Brother?
"Hello, Second Brother!" Jiang Cheng called out again.
Si Han:...
"Don't just stand there, sit inside!" Father Si looked Jiang Cheng over, then instructed Li Sao to serve tea.
At the same time, he signaled Mother Si to go and find out exactly what was going on with their daughter.
Although they wanted their daughter to find a reliable support, they couldn't let her be muddled about it.
After hearing her daughter's words, Mother Si was also somewhat speechless.
"Your big brother said you were in the same school before? Does he like you?"
Mother Si was very good at reading people; a person's eyes cannot lie.
This Jiang Cheng must really like her daughter.
But that doesn't prove anything; there were many men who liked her daughter, even that piece of trash Shen Lan liked her daughter back then, but didn't he still have children with other women outside?
Si Rong felt the same, "Probably."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have cut the line to go on a blind date with her.
"What is his family situation?"
Si Rong didn't know much either, "It seems he has a daughter, and a younger brother who was just promoted to County Magistrate of our Huaiyang this year."
"A daughter, huh," Mother Si mused, "A daughter isn't a problem, but we must find out clearly what the situation is with his ex-wife."
Seeing that he brought so many internal military region supplies on his first visit, those are good things that money can't even buy.
It shows that this Jiang Cheng is quite serious about her daughter.
Mother Si temporarily instructed the family's domestic helper to prepare dinner.
In the living room, Jiang Cheng sat there obediently, facing the joint interrogation of Si Yan and Si Han.
However, as they asked, the tone began to change.
The topics Jiang Cheng discussed were the national affairs that men love to talk about most.
Especially listening to Jiang Cheng tell some interesting anecdotes from his daily work.
There is no man who doesn't like fighter jets.
Soon, Si Han was won over.
"What's it like to fly a J-10?"
If he could fly a fighter jet and soar through the blue sky once in his life, it would be worth it.
"If Second Brother likes it, I can take you to the training camp to sit in a fighter jet flight simulator later."
"Great!"
Si Han was very excited.
Si Yan felt disdain in his heart; his second brother was truly useless, to be bought off so quickly.
What is so interesting about a fighter jet simulator?
He had already started calling him Second Brother.
He was not so easily swayed.
"Big Brother, try this," Jiang Cheng handed the internal military region cigarettes he brought to Big Brother Si Yan, "If you like them, I'll bring more later."
Si Yan, who had smoked for years, could tell at a glance that these two boxes of cigarettes were good stuff.
He had previously entrusted a good friend and only managed to get a tiny box.
He didn't expect Jiang Cheng to bring two cartons all at once.
But his expression still didn't soften.
It wasn't until Jiang Cheng successively brought out internal military region tea leaves and various rare items that money could hardly buy.
He finally tacitly accepted this "Big Brother" from Jiang Cheng.
Soon, the meal arranged by Mother Si was ready.
During the meal, the brothers Si Yan and Si Han took turns pouring alcohol for Jiang Cheng.
Seeing that a bottle of brandy was bottomed out, Mother Si finally began to ask Jiang Cheng about his previous marriage.
"Why did you and your ex-wife divorce?"
Jiang Cheng was not drunk, but he still answered obediently, "I do not have an ex-wife."
"Nonsense! If you don't have an ex-wife, where did your daughter come from?" Mother Si assumed he was lying.
"Ma'am, my current daughter is my sister's. After she divorced and remarried abroad, my niece has been raised in my home as my daughter," Jiang Cheng explained patiently, point by point.
Mother Si exchanged a look with her daughter.
"You're at such an age, have you really never been married?"
Could this man have some major defect?
Jiang Cheng shook his head, glanced at Si Rong, then looked away, "I've never met the right person."
If one has once admired the moon, it is very hard to convince oneself to settle for the stars.
He truly had never encountered the right person; in his earlier years, he was unwilling to settle, and later, he simply grew accustomed to being alone.
After the meal was finished, the Si Family had learned a fair bit about Jiang Cheng's situation.
Never married, a young and promising Division Commander, with a superior family background.
However, Mother Si still felt he had a defect.
"To be this age and never married, it's eight or nine times out of ten that there's a problem in that department."
Mother Si was not one to shy away from such topics; in any case, her daughter had already been married once.
Si Rong:...
"Think about it, how could a normal man go so many years without getting married?"
Si Rong, however, felt that if Jiang Cheng had a problem in that department, it would actually be quite good.
"Don't I also have a problem in that department?"
She cannot conceive.
A master of gynecology had personally diagnosed her back then.
Jiang Cheng is impotent, she is infertile.
It seems they are quite a match?
"Try seeing each other for a while! By the way, what did he say to you when he was leaving just now?"
Mother Si asked again.
When they were seeing Jiang Cheng off, Jiang Cheng had called her daughter to the side of the car and said a few words.
"He asked me to go see a movie with him tomorrow."
"Then go!" Mother Si felt that whether or not things worked out between her daughter and this Jiang Cheng, it was always good to keep busy.
It would save her from dwelling on the past.
The Jiang Family.
As a Founding General, Father Jiang had built up a substantial family fortune for the Jiang Family.
However, the Jiang Family had always been low-key.
The whole family still lived in the Junqu Dayuan.
Their only daughter had married far away abroad; of the two sons, one had joined the military just like him and was now a Division Commander, while the other had pursued a career in officialdom and was now a County Magistrate.
Father Jiang's only heartache was his eldest son's lifelong affair.
It was truly worrying!
He wondered if he would still be able to see his eldest son get married in his lifetime?
He was just practicing calligraphy when he saw his eldest son lift the curtain and walk in.
In truth, among the three children, the eldest son Jiang Cheng was the most like him; not just in personality, but even his striking looks were inherited one hundred percent.
It was truly a waste of his good genes.
What was the use of having a handsome face? He didn't do anything proper.
Seeing this son, Father Jiang snorted and turned his head away, not wanting to look at him.
"Old man, this character is written crookedly!" Jiang Cheng leaned in beside him as soon as he entered.
He was deliberately provoking him.
"It doesn't matter if the character is crooked, but if a person grows up crooked, then it's all over!"
Old Master Jiang turned his back on him in disdain.
Jiang Cheng smiled, his eyes curving slightly, "Old man, who are you saying grew up crooked?"
"I'm talking about those who are of a ripe old age and have no wife; if that's not crooked, then what is?"
"Who has no wife?" Jiang Cheng snatched the brush from the old man and, imitating the old man's handwriting, wrote a character, "Old man, you shouldn't underestimate people!"
"I'm just underestimating you!" Father Jiang snatched the brush back from his hand, "Can you bring me back a daughter-in-law?"
"I can!"
