Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot-Chapter 751 - 462 Hardcore operations fierce as a tiger, large-scale meeting the parents scene (3 more updates)
Inside the Jiang Mansion
Before the Shen Family arrived, Shen Zhixian had already greeted the Huo Family with her two children. At the moment, Jiangjiang was running around the second floor with a toy gun.
"Jiangjiang, it’s time for bed," Shen Zhixian said helplessly. The child was so lively that taking care of him was really exhausting.
"Why can’t I go downstairs?" Everyone is here.
"Because the adults have things to discuss. Just be good and don’t cause trouble."
"Then I’ll play on the second floor."
Saying this, Jiangjiang carried his plastic gun and ran about...
Meanwhile, downstairs, the two families had finally met. Huo Qinqi, who used to call the elder Shen’s ’grandpa’ and ’grandma’ due to their age, now switched to:
"Uncle, Aunt."
It was formal, serious, and the stance was properly set.
Before the Shen elders could respond, the sound "da da da, biubiubiu—" came from upstairs.
A burst of rampant gunfire...
Everyone: "..."
The atmosphere turned awkward for a moment.
Jiang Chengsi and Qi Zeyan couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter, probably thinking that the Shen elders might want to kill Huo Qinqi right now.
Shen Zhixian quickly snatched the gun from Jiangjiang, picked him up, and forcibly took him back to the room, "Mommy, your phone is ringing; it’s your big brother’s call."
She picked up the phone while silently signaling Jiangjiang not to go out anymore and called Xie Duo back.
It was just that today’s events were too sensational, and he was still out of town on an important project negotiation. Once the meeting ended, he immediately called Shen Zhixian for help.
"Little aunt, no way, the Huo Family and... you must know, is it true?"
"It’s true."
"This really is divine justice, retribution is refreshing, huh? Jiang Yanting just got me an extra uncle and three free uncles, and his own brother became my uncle too. Let’s see who heaven spares."
Although Shen Shuci had no real ties with Jiang Yanting, he was of the same generation as Jiang Jinsang, so naturally, he followed the same titles.
Seeing him so happy, Shen Zhixian muttered softly:
"His generation’s downgraded, yours is even lower, you’re already considered a grandson."
"... "
Xie Duo initially thought of celebrating with a good meal after finishing work and learning this "happy news," but now he had lost all appetite.
His relationship with Shen Shuci was quite distant. Normally, not seeing each other was fine, but they were both in Beijing, so avoiding each other might be unavoidable.
**
Inside the Jiang Family’s living room at the moment.
The Huo Family and Shen Family had already greeted each other under the Jiang Family’s watchful eyes, and Fan Mingyu was helping Tang Wan serve tea and water to everyone before quietly retreating to the side, waiting for the situation to unfold.
Qi Zeyan barely moved up to Jiang Chengsi and was about to snatch a slice of mango from the plate in front of him when he got glared at.
"I’ll just have one piece."
After all the busy chaos, it was already past nine in the evening, and he hadn’t eaten yet.
"There’s this fruit and you didn’t tell me. You still want to eat my food? Get lost."
"..." Qi Zeyan was baffled.
The other brothers of the Jiang Family were all cunning foxes; he didn’t dare get too close, especially now that Jiang Chengsi didn’t want him.
For the first time in his life... he felt such a pressing desire to go home.
Being watched by everyone, the Huo Family were completely composed, especially the Huo father and son, who were in sync, showing no emotion or expression.
Meanwhile, Shen Shuci awkwardly wished he could crawl into a crack in the floor tiles.
It was like pre-emptively meeting the parents.
Liang Yun cleared her throat, "Recent events have been regretful, as we couldn’t inform you in time. We needed to be thorough in our act, also worrying about being found out, which definitely caused you misunderstandings and troubles. I’m truly sorry."
The Huo Family’s matters were already clear to everyone, so there was no need for further explanation.
"Mrs. Huo, you’re too polite. We should be the ones thanking you, as it was all for Shuci’s sake..." Elder Mr. Shen was slightly prosperous looking, smiling kindly, exuding a dignified appearance.
But what followed was slightly alarming.
"You say we’re not related by blood or law, and it’s inconvenient to bother you, not to mention sending over so many things. I feel even more guilty."
The phrase "not related by blood or law" was clearly trying to set boundaries between the two families.
Liang Yun dismissively smiled, "Get to know each other better slowly. After all, Shuci and I are meant to be, not expecting there’s a connection with the Liang Family."
"Because of the incident at today’s charity event, which you must have heard about, so we’ve come over..."
"We want to discuss the matter of the two children."
Suddenly, Jiang Chengsi got excited...
Oh my goodness!
The Huo Family really never disappoints, straight to the point.
