Chapter One
Right at this moment, Jiang Cheng is your typical spoilt rich brat. Glaring at servants left and right an sighing like there's no tomorrow.
He has been dragging his feet around the Jiang Mansion with a perpetual thunder cloud over his head for the past week, and the storm just grew more and more severe the closer they got to the dreaded day™. The first day of their joint vacation with the Jin family. (Or well, the legitimate members of the Jin family anyway, God knew Jin Guangshan had AT LEAST ten other kids who even he himself probably didn't know about.)
The ONE legitimate heir he did have though, was, for all his good looks and talent, an absolute dick and a bonafied jerk . One of the most arrogant, pigheaded annoyingly beautiful fuckers Jiang Cheng had ever met and that was saying something. He also happened to be the guy that both his mother and Madam Jin hoped and prayed would marry his shijie. The mere thought of his beloved shijie having to spend the rest of her life with a jerk who didn't appreciate her AT ALL never mind as much as she deserved, only served to darken his mood.
Of course, HE couldn't afford to pick fights with the peacock over how he treated his Shijie, his mother would skin him alive. His adoptive brother Wei Wuxian however, had been missing a fear gland for the entire time Jiang Cheng had known him. That and his father Jiang Fengmian would never allow for Wei Wuxian to be thrown out or be punished too harshly. This, and the very fact that Wei Wuxian had even been adopted into the Jiang family, was one of the main things his parents argued about. One of the main things they WOULD be arguing about for the next month while on Vacation in god knows where, when Wei Wuxian decides to act like an idiot.
Jiang Cheng groans. He really doesn't want to go on this trip.
"Don't frown so much A-Cheng, your face will end up stuck like that," Jiang Yanli comments, laughter in her voice and a teasing glint in her gentle eyes. Jiang Cheng feels his frown melt in the presence of his sister.
-Only to go right back up again when he feels and annoying weight latch onto his back.
"Get off me you utter nuisance" Jiang Cheng scolds, trying in vain to shrug off his adoptive brother. Wei Ying makes a clicking sound in the back of his throat. "Tsk. Shijie's right A-Cheng! You don't want your face to be stuck with a scowl now so you? No girls gonna want to marry you then!" ' That's more than fine by me' Jiang Cheng thinks as he FINALLY managed to detached the annoying parasite off of his back. "I'm not five anymore, like I'm going to fall for that crap" he says rolling his eyes and making a show of dusting imaginary dust off his cloths.
Wei Ying sticks his tounge out. Typical.
Jiang Cheng had no doubt that his idiot brother was going to cuase him no end of trouble, where ever in the world they were going.
Seeing that her brother was once again going into emo mode, Jiang Yanli patted his head, "Don't worry so much about this trip A-Cheng. It will be fun. We'll all get to relax and spend time togeather, and we don't always have to be around mother and father so when they do start fighting we might not even be there. It'll be fun, trust shijie!" Her smile is sincere and both Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng wonder how such a gentle person could like the peacock Madam Yu and Madam Jin wished for her to marry.
But maybe she was right, with both his family and the JIN family of all fucking people coming in this trip, no expense would be spared and there would undoubtedly be plenty of things to do. Jiang Cheng could maybe start to like this vacation. Maybe.
