Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot-Chapter 699 - 438 Huo Family vs Shen Family’s Two Elders, Awkward Laughter and Staring?

Hexi, holiday resort

Jiang Jinsang raised his hand to test the water in Tang Wan’s cup. "I’ll get you a hotter one."

"I don’t need it; I don’t really want to drink." Tang Wan was listening to Shen Shuci recount her feud with the Liang Family, her brows slightly furrowed, and even the elders of the Shen Family had solemn expressions.

Jiang Jinsang got up, just about to replace the elders’ water with hot ones, when he heard Elder Shen shout angrily, "They are simply bullying us! They have a reputation in Beijing, how can they act like such people!"

"Old man, calm down." The old lady was always very kind and, coupled with her poor health, could only bear it even when she was annoyed and indignant.

"After what they did to you, his family still dared to approach you?" Tang Wan turned her head to look at Shen Shuci.

"I heard they are negotiating a partnership with the Jiangs and want to use me to make connections..." Now that it was out in the open, Shen Shuci saw no need to hide anything from them.

"They once approached me about a project I was managing, brought me a necklace, and when it was photographed, I just wanted to return the necklace to him; I didn’t expect it to cause such a misunderstanding."

"Absolutely shameless!" The grandfather trembled with anger, slammed the table, and stood up, "I’m going right now to the Liang Family to settle this."

"Dad." "Grandpa."

Tang Wan and Shen Shuci spent a good while persuading the old man, who finally sat down huffily.

It was also the first time Jiang Jinsang had heard about this matter; he had never imagined there was such a feud between them. At that moment, the old lady called, "Hello, grandma..."

The issue of Shen Shuci "being the other woman" was no longer the focus of everyone’s attention, as if there really was such an affair, Lord Jiang wouldn’t have intervened personally; it must be a misunderstanding.

Someone deliberately spread rumors to upset the Liang Family, but it ended up being scrambled by Liang Han.

Everyone was only concerned with how the Liang Family would proceed having offended the Jiang Family.

Since everyone knew which hotel the Shen Family elders were staying at, it was no longer safe there due to the inevitable harassment from reporters, so the old lady had the elders temporarily move to the Jiang Mansion to stay with her.

The Shen Family elders felt awkward imposing, but Shen Shuci’s apartment rental was just a single, unable to accommodate three people, so in the end, Fan Mingyu personally came to take them, and they thanked him as they moved to the mansion.

"I’m really sorry, we didn’t expect to come and bother you," the elders said upon arriving at the Jiang Mansion, still feeling too apologetic.

The old lady smiled, "My son and daughter-in-law don’t live here; it’s usually just me, Xiaowu, and Wanwan. It’s nice having you here to keep me company; please, don’t worry about it, we’re all family."

"Thank you." Shen Shuci was worried about how to arrange a safer place for the elders, and fortunately, the Jiang Family resolved her urgent matter.

"I just learned a few Pingjiang cuisine dishes the other day. Now that you’re here, you can try my cooking skills and see if it’s authentic," Fan Mingyu smiled as she entered the kitchen, "If it’s not good, you can still give me some tips."

The Jiang Family didn’t mention the incidents of the morning at all, and had already thoughtfully arranged the rooms.

Tang Wan followed Fan Mingyu into the kitchen, "When did you start learning to cook Pingjiang cuisine?"

"You’ve always recommended a restaurant that serves very authentic Pingjiang cuisine. Since moving so far to marry into our family, do you miss home?" Fan Mingyu smiled at her.

Since her mother passed away, Tang Wan hadn’t felt motherly love, so hearing her words made her heart ache.

"If you miss home, just tell Xiaowu to take you to Pingjiang to stay for a while; after all, that mischievous boy always stirs up trouble in Beijing and gives me headaches just looking at him."

Tang Wan nodded in agreement.

What Fan Mingyu didn’t know was that soon, a certain mischievous boy would stir up a big trouble again.

...

The Shen Family elders had settled into the mansion, and the old lady was delighted, taking them to Peach Garden to enjoy opera in the afternoon. Knowing her parents were safe, Shen Shuci returned to the office as the scandal had blown up too much and needed some explanation.

Tang Wan had arrived in the studio and was having a meeting with Chen Zhi and other staff members.

Everyone was a bit confused; they always had meetings on Mondays, but why was Jiang Jinsang here?

Jiang Jinsang brought Tang Wan a cup of hot milk, "Drink it while it’s hot."

"Um." Tang Wan coughed twice, "Well, you..."

"Just mind your own business; don’t mind me," Jiang Jinsang said, then casually found a spot to sit down behind Tang Wan.

Chen Zhi nudged Tang Wan’s arm and whispered, "Hey, what’s going on? Are you two already this inseparable? Just coming for a meeting, and he can’t leave your side?"

"Uncle Chen." Faced with his teasing, Tang Wan also felt helpless.
