Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot-Chapter 731 - 454 Auntie Crashes the Scene, Wuye Takes Charge (3 More Updates)
As things unfolded, Shen Shuci was merely a catalyst, the situation had evolved into a negotiation of power among several families. No one really cared about her; they were more concerned about how the Jiang Family would stir things up, so her appearance still came as a surprise.
And the event was almost over, she was scheduled to appear last.
White clothes, black suit pants, covered by a black trench coat, with a low neckline and cinched waist, her long hair loosely tied up—her white attire made her neck look even more slender and pale.
Pale as jade, stark as ink.
She was too thin, her waist was tightened, and the sudden breeze made her appear even sharper and more efficient, plain and simple. The effortless defiance around her was hard to ignore.
The Liang Family was on high alert, and the security guards around them were ready for action.
They had heard about how this lady had sent Master Liang to the hospital, and they were not taking her arrival lightly.
"Auntie," Tang Wan quickly got up from her seat, "why have you come so late?"
Shen Shuci had said she would come on her own, without asking for them to pick her up.
Tang Wan’s words seemed to indicate that she had decided to come all along.
"Darn it, Auntie was supposed to come, why didn’t you tell me!" Qi Zeyan leaned against Jiang Jinsang. He thought there was no drama to watch today.
"Why should I tell you?" Jiang Jinsang sneered lightly.
Qi Zeyan wanted to know what would happen between the Huo Family and Shen Shuci. He was dying to know.
Having bitten into a bitter melon, he couldn’t swallow or spit it out. With Huo Qinqi not around, he didn’t dare to go to the Huo Family to ask, and he originally wanted to discuss it with Jiang Shiyi.
He had made a call, but the other party said they were working and would return his call later, and then...
There was no "later"!
What a crappy buddy, utterly unreliable, no wonder Jiang Chengsi cursed him every day.
"It’s almost over, why have you arrived so late?" Tang Wan walked up to Shen Shuci, whispering.
"Just got off work."
Those who heard this comment were stunned: "..."
At this hour, aren’t you simply here to cause trouble? Do you even care about work?
Came after work?
What do you think you’re here for?
Such disregard for the Liang Family...
This later led to a popular saying in the Beijing circle when discussing this incident:
The Liang Family... was just something Shen Shuci dealt with casually after work.
...
"Every guest is welcomed, all here for the charity cause." Liang Wenzhong forced a smile, feeling somewhat apprehensive, yet thinking that with such a grand gathering and the Huo Family present, Shen Shuci would not dare to make a scene, after all...
None of the Jiang brothers dared to overstep.
But the next second, the words blurted out by Shen Shuci instantly changed his expression.
"I am not here for charity; I am here for your family."
The crowd was in an uproar:
People have seen troublemakers before, but never someone so direct!
Targeting the Liang Family? To put it differently:
I am here to cause trouble!
This was too...
brutal.
Qi Zeyan was still thinking the confrontation might start softly, warming up the scene, yet she kicked things off this assertively, and this melon he just bit into could choke someone to death.
The Huo couple, however, remained calm and did not take a stance.
Upon hearing this, the Liang Family was outrageously insolent; none of the Jiang brothers reacted, yet she dared to do this, signaling Tang Wan to move towards Jiang Jinsang’s side, while she walked directly forward, her destination:
The stage!
"Stop her, our Liang Family only welcomes those here for the charity, welcomes guests. If you are here to cause trouble, you are not welcome," Liang Wenzhong immediately stood up.
A security guard close to her, knowing she was formidable, reached instinctively for the baton at his waist when he approached her, "Miss, please cooperate with us."
His fingers had just touched her shoulder when she instinctively twisted his wrist.
With the security setup today, the Liang Family’s guards were not feeble, trained in some combat skills. Seeing her grappling maneuver, he immediately lifted his other hand that held the baton, aiming to subdue her. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
"Auntie!" Tang Wan watched in alarm. If the baton really hit her, that would be...
Everyone didn’t expect it to go physical so quickly, as they subconsciously held their breath. Compared to the burly guard, Shen Shuci looked particularly fragile, and people couldn’t help but worry for her.
"Hey, don’t..." Liang Wenzhong frowned, quickly intervening, especially since it was a charity event, fearing someone might genuinely get hurt.
But the next second...
Just as the baton was about to hit Shen Shuci’s shoulder, she suddenly reached out, grabbed it, using some clever technique.
Before anyone could react, they saw the baton held tightly in her hand, pressed firmly against the guard’s neck!
