Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot-Chapter 722 - 449 Huo Chichi protects her master, having an affair so openly_2
"Ugh!" He grunted, immediately withdrew his hand, fingers trembling, as he looked at the back of his hand, "You..."
"My cat just got vaccinated; there shouldn’t be any rabies, but just to be safe, you should hurry to get a vaccine."
"What I was talking to you about..."
"Please leave!"
"Back in the day we took care of you, you..."
"I acknowledge that there was some kindness shown, so I won’t tell anyone about today’s matter, and I won’t report it to the police. I don’t need to spell out the consequences if outsiders found out, what it would mean for the prestigious Liang Family to let a witness lie."
"You..."
"Please leave." Shen Shuci opened the door.
Old Master Liang covered the back of his hand, stepped out the door, but still turned back to ask her, "Have you really thought it through? Won’t you regret today’s decision?"
Shen Shuci chuckled lightly, "I haven’t done anything atrocious or false, so why should I have any regrets!"
After saying that, she slammed the door shut with a "bang."
Old Master Liang looked at the tightly closed door and laughed to himself.
"Very well... very good."
...
After Old Master Liang left, Shen Shuci took out something the size of a lipstick from her pocket, pressed the stop button, and casually threw it onto the table.
Ever since Manager Fan’s incident, she had found recording to be...
Better safe than sorry!
"Meow meow—" Huo Chichi kept scratching at the cage.
Shen Shuci squatted down, smiling at it, "Little guy, when did you learn to scratch people? You know you aren’t allowed to do that, right?"
"Meow—"
"When you’re at home, didn’t your owner tell you not to scratch or bite? Why are you so wild!" Shen Shuci reached into the cage and poked its little head, "I wonder how your owner is doing. When is he coming back?"
She squatted in front of the cage talking to Huo Chichi for quite a while before she suddenly realized, she had been talking about Huo Qinqi all this time, and she slapped her face.
Was she actually thinking about him?
**
On the one hand, Old Master Liang left Left Bank Garden and went directly to a nearby hospital to get vaccinated. However, he didn’t know that there were two groups of people tracking him.
Although his hand was scratched, Huo Chichi was a house cat and probably didn’t have rabies, but you need to go to a disease prevention station or center for disease control in Beijing to get the vaccine. As it was already dark, it wasn’t convenient, so he just got the wound disinfected nearby for the time being.
Inside the Jiang Mansion
Tang Wan and Shen Zhixian were chasing a TV series in the living room, one overslept during the day, the other was jet-lagged.
Because of the incident with Tang Wan, Jiang Yanting’s family of four didn’t return to Hexi and stayed in the old mansion instead, together with Fan Mingyu and his wife. The old mansion wasn’t this lively in a long time.
Jiang Jiu hurriedly entered the house, politely greeted the two, and went to find Jiang Jinsang.
"So busy at this late hour?" Shen Zhixian tilted his head toward Jiang Jiu’s retreating figure, "You say Xiaowu doesn’t work usually, so why are his people so busy? They never seem to have a moment’s rest."
Tang Wan just smiled, "Don’t know, probably just bustling about without reason."
Wife’s snark truly hits the hardest!
When Jiang Jiu arrived in the study, he didn’t expect Jiang Yanting to be there, too. He was dealing with company affairs; leaving for so many days inevitably led to an accumulation of work. Seeing him there, Jiang Jiu hesitated, seemingly unsure whether to speak.
"Just speak up, my brother is not an outsider." Jiang Jinsang bowed his head, still reading about pregnancy and childcare.
"Old Master Liang went to see Miss Shen."
"I guessed as much."
This case was already being handled by the police and the judicial department. Even if the Jiang Family stepped back ten thousand steps and didn’t pursue the matter, this wasn’t an ordinary civil dispute where making amends meant no harm done. The police would definitely pursue responsibility, and he would never agree to resolve and forgive.
The only breakthrough was Shen Shuci...
"After that?"
"She stayed for over ten minutes. After elder Liang left, did she go straight to the hospital?"
"Did Aunt Shen hit someone again?" Jiang Jinsang raised an eyebrow.
Jiang Yanting actually set aside his work and listened attentively, "Again? Is she that violent?"
"First, she sent Liang Han to the hospital, and now his grandfather?" Jiang Jinsang snickered.
Jiang Jiu shook his head, "Elder Liang went to the hospital, and I asked the nurse. She said he had scratch wounds. As for how he got them, elder Liang didn’t say, and the nurse wasn’t sure either."
"Scratch wounds?" Jiang Jinsang twirled his fingers, "Even if Aunt Shen had a conflict with him, she wouldn’t scratch him, right?"
"There are no cats or dogs at Aunt Shen’s house. Could she have scratched someone in a fit of anger?"
Jiang Jinsang stroked his chin, pondering.
Jiang Yanting, however, clenched his fist and put it to his mouth, coughing twice loudly.
The matter between Shen Shuci and Huo Qinqi, though not explicitly stated, he had roughly guessed some of it, so when he heard about the scratch wounds, he immediately reacted.
He knew about Huo Qinqi keeping a cat because both Jiangjiang and Taotao had complained to him after coming home.
One was heartbroken for being refused to take Huo Qinqi’s cat home for a couple of days.
The other was upset about being refused to name the cat "Orange."
Both the little ones also wanted to keep a cat together and had pleaded with him for a long time, but he hadn’t agreed.
So even though Jiang Yanting had never seen the cat in person, he had heard plenty of rumors about it.
Shen Shuci was not a three-year-old child, nor the kind to only scratch people’s hair and use her nails during a fight. How could she possibly scratch elder Liang? It must be Huo’s cat that was kept at her place...
A friend of many years, his son wanted to bring the cat home for a couple of days but wasn’t allowed, but it ended up being kept by Shen Shuci?
He never realized before that Huo Qinqi was such a domineering hypocrite.
"Why dwell on the scratch wounds, what did elder Liang do afterward?" Jiang Yanting decided to pull Jiang Jinsang back from his thoughts.
"He just went back home, but it seemed like his meeting with Miss Shen didn’t end on a good note."
Jiang Yanting looked at Jiang Jinsang, "Even elder Liang stepped in and got no respect, if the Liang Family really wants to protect Liang Han, they may resort to dirty tricks."
Jinsang snickered, bowing his head as he continued to flip through the book in his hands, "Liang Han is the only heir to their family, they are unlikely to give up on him until the last moment. We’ve seriously crossed them today, and if the Liang Family isn’t eliminated, they’ll be a threat sooner or later..."
Even if the Liang Family stays unresponsive now, Liang Han deserves his punishment, but how could they not bear a grudge against the Jiang Family, so it’s only a matter of time before the relationship sours.
"I’m just afraid that if they don’t make a move, no matter if it’s an open strategy or a dirty trick, anything would do, because..."
"If they don’t act, where will I get the reason to take them down, right, bro?"
Jiang Jinsang suddenly smiled at Jiang Yanting.
Jiang Yanting just slightly curled his lips, but at this moment, his thoughts were not on the Liang Family, but rather on the Huo side...
"By the way, I heard Uncle Huo and Aunt Huo returned to Beijing? When did they come back?"
"They were planning to leave Beijing the same day as grandpa and grandma, what’s up?" Jiang Jinsang turned his head to look at him, wondering why he suddenly asked about the Huo Family.
"I was just thinking, they didn’t attend our wedding but sent over a lot of gifts beforehand, I want to invite them for a meal," Jiang Yanting said flawlessly.
The Shen elders returned to Beijing on the same day that the "scandal" between Shen Shuci and Liang Wenzhong broke out, what a coincidence in timing.
Jiang Yanting pinched the bridge of his nose. Could it be that the Huo Family was already aware of everything?
He originally thought it was an affair that nobody knew about, but it turns out that even the family was aware?
Truly as expected of Huo Qinqi, even conducting an affair so publicly!
If the Liang Family made a move, they might truly aim for Shen Shuci. Given the Huo Family’s domineering and protective nature, plus his own brother, this situation could stir up a mess in Beijing...
