Chapter 1716: Good Brothers Hand in Hand—Is Young Master Xiaowu Being Followed?

Jiang Mutang’s idea of "mutual fighting" left everyone dumbfounded, but besides this, they couldn’t think of a better solution.

After helping the unfamiliar girl with the scratch on her hand, Jiang Mutang called the twin brothers over to help them with their facial bruises.

"Though the way we met is a bit strange, it’s kind of fate. Can we exchange contact info?" Jiang Ruan spoke first.

"Sure." The girl had been looking down at her hand. When she got scratched, it didn’t hurt much, but now it turned bright red. With one hand injured, it was inconvenient to take out her phone, so she directly told Jiang Ruan her phone number.

"Your name?" Jiang Ruan asked while entering the contact info into her phone.

"Xu Ni, the ’ni’ from ’elegant and charming’. "

Jiang Ruan nodded, took a note from Jiang Mutang’s desk, and wrote down her contact information and name for her. Xu Ni took a look and said, "Jiang...Ruan?"

Probably after seeing her cool and impressive demeanor while racing, Xu Ni couldn’t help but feel that this name...

didn’t quite fit!

"My dad picked it, said he got it from the poem ’Wind soothes a river’s water, clouds clear nine peaks’, which contains my dad’s surname and my mom’s name."

"Your dad’s quite the romantic," Xu Ni said with a smile.

Everyone: "..."

However, when Jiang Chengsi named her, the old lady Jiang teased, "It’s the first time I felt you had some culture," upon hearing the meaning behind the name.

At that moment came the howls from the twin brothers.

"Bro, take it easy, murder!"

"I’m being gentle."

"You weren’t like this with the young lady just now."

"Are you a girl?"

"That’s gender discrimination, ow—"

"No loud noises in the hospital!"

"..."

...

Jiang Mutang originally was writing a surgical report, but was disturbed by them, lost interest, and, since it was getting late, decided to head back.

"Can you three get home by yourselves? Do you need me to give you a ride?" Jiang Mutang asked, seeing Jiang Ruan with two patients, as an older brother should show a bit more concern.

"We don’t need it, but..." Jiang Ruan looked at Xu Ni, "where do you live? Maybe my brother can give you a ride since it’s quite late."

It was nearly eleven, and it seemed inappropriate to let a girl go home alone.

Before Jiang Mutang could say anything, the girl hastily said, "No need, my house is nearby, just a few steps away..." She waved goodbye and rushed into the night, as if afraid of being chased.

"Bro, do you think she ran off because she heard I suggested you give her a ride?" Jiang Ruan teased.

"You three better figure out how to explain this to Mom and Dad when you get back."

Jiang Mutang said this, took out his car key, and walked straight to his car.

Scared off?

Am I that scary?

Si Family

By the time the three siblings got home, it was already close to midnight. They thought the elders were asleep and were prepared to sneak back to their rooms but were stopped before they could go upstairs.

Jiang Chengsi and Si Qingxiao were still up. Seeing their son with injuries, afraid of alarming Si Yushan and his wife’s, they called the three into the study for a little meeting.

"What’s going on?" Jiang Chengsi frowned, eyes fixed on the three of them.

Si Qingxiao carefully checked her son’s face. Seeing the injuries were not serious and had been treated, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad, it’s just after watching a movie, Xiaojiu and Lao Shi argued about it and got into a fight," Jiang Ruan said softly, as they had already rehearsed the story on their way home.

In the Jiang Family, the twins ranked seventh and eighth, but including relatives from the Si Family, they dropped to ninth and tenth.

The older brother took the father’s surname, named Jiang Dianjiu; 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

The younger brother took the mother’s surname, named Si Dianchen.

Together, it also had the meaning of "Thoughts (Si) of a Gentleman Nine ways."

The older brother had a more lively character, while the younger one was more stable. They were usually called Xiaojiu and Lao Shi.

"Getting into a fight over a movie?" Jiang Chengsi was stunned.

Honestly, it’s a rather bizarre reason, but with these two, it’s not entirely impossible...

When they were little, they often fought fiercely over toys after a brief disagreement. That was when they were very young. Ever since they started school, they mostly ganged up to bully others, usually with the brother acting first and the younger one supporting, almost undefeated, which caused Jiang Chengsi to frequently go to school to clean up their messes.

"You’re too old to be fighting like this. Don’t you find it embarrassing?" Jiang Chengsi, though exasperated, seemingly bought into their story.

However, Si Qingxiao was not so easily fooled.

She scrutinized the three siblings.

"Clearly it was Lao Shi who started it!" someone was still protesting.
