Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot-Chapter 759 - 466 Huo Family’s Invitation, the Inner Thoughts of the Fifth Master

Ruan Mengxi was talking nonstop in front of Tang Wan and Shen Shuci; she was just short of driving onto the highway...

"Xixi, I’m pregnant, you should watch what you say, for the baby’s education." Tang Wan reached up to touch her forehead, "Don’t lead my child astray, alright?"

"Even if your child turns out crooked, it definitely won’t be because of my few words," she said and began to fill Shen Shuci’s head with all sorts of nonsensical stuff, "...actually, when it comes to relationships between men and women, interaction is essential. Do you know what interaction means?"

Shen Shuci didn’t even want to answer her anymore; who doesn’t understand interaction?

"It means both people have to make a move, he moves, you have to move too!"

Tang Wan was sure, this girl was definitely flirting.

Her kind, the type who doesn’t wear seatbelts, just recklessly charging ahead, was bound to get into an accident sooner or later.

"Think about it, if someone has no obligations towards you, why should they be good to you? It’s because they like you. After chasing you for so long without any response, they might just give up. You can’t blame them for not having perseverance, why should they keep chasing after you, right..."

"So, if you like someone, you should let them know."

"Start moving, both of you, get moving! Do you understand?"

"Knock knock—" At that moment, someone knocked on the door, "Wanwan? May I come in?"

It was Jiang Jinsang.

"Come in," Tang Wan had barely spoken when Ruan Mengxi had already straightened up, sitting politely like a stellar student in school, who would have thought she was just wildly running her mouth off a moment ago.

Jiang Jinsang turned the knob, but did not enter, just standing at the doorway, "Auntie Huo called to invite big brother and sister-in-law to dinner at their place, and they have included us too, along with..."

"Aunt Flo."

It was indeed true that the Huo couple wanted to invite Jiang Yanting and his wife to dinner, but their true intentions weren’t merely about the alcohol.

"Today?" Tang Wan asked.

"Yep, this noon."

"Then Xixi..." Tang Wan rarely invited Ruan Mengxi over.

"Don’t mind me, I have to stop by the office later, then go to the set. Even if you keep me here for lunch, I won’t have the time," Ruan Mengxi said with a smile, she really was busy these days.

"When your drama wraps up, I’ll treat you to a meal," Tang Wan smiled.

"That’s a promise."

...

It was well-known what the Huo family intended, and the Shen family elders didn’t object to Shen Shuci attending; the grandmother even specifically asked her to change into a skirt.

"You girl, you always don’t know how to dress up, how can this be okay?"

"Mom..." She was always nervous about the elders’ attitude, especially since the event was so sudden and nobody was prepared.

"Change your clothes, what are you spacing out for."

Actually, just like Shen Shuci, she was nervous, and so were the Shen family elders. Even though they treated her like their own daughter, they knew she was sensitive and considerate inside, and they took that into account in their interactions.

Shen Shuci changed her clothes, and the grandmother raised her hand to adjust her collar, "Our Shuci really has grown up."

"Your dad and I hope you will be happy. We can’t be with you for a lifetime. I’ve asked Mrs. Jiang about it, and the Huo family is reliable..."

"If you like it, let’s give it a try."

"Dad, he..." Shen Shuci knew the old man was recently irritable.

"Never mind him, he just wants you to get married but also can’t bear to let you go. Let me tell you, he was on the phone with your brother-in-law last night and ended up scolding that young Huo..." The grandmother stifled a laugh, "You know what happened then?"

"Did he talk to my brother-in-law about it?" Shen Shuci frowned.

Her grandfather was clearly holding some grudges and probably wanted a place to vent. The only one who would listen to his rant without talking back was Tang Yunxian.

"Then your brother-in-law, going along with him, talked a bit about that young Huo, but your dad then says, the kid didn’t say anything that terrible about you, and you don’t even know each other, what nonsense are you spouting? And that really frustrated your brother-in-law."

Shen Shuci couldn’t help but laugh.

Tang Yunxian was genuinely at a loss that day; he was just going along with his father-in-law’s words, and yet he got countered, unable to understand whether the old man liked or disliked that young Huo from the Huo family.

Actually, Shen Shuci’s grandfather was also very conflicted; Huo Qinqi was naturally beyond reproach in many aspects, but he couldn’t accept that his cherished daughter was being pursued, yet if anyone spoke ill of Huo Qinqi, since his daughter was fond of him, he seemed not that unacceptable, there was no way he could say that his daughter had poor taste in men, right? It was agonizing for him.

Hexi Huo Family

The Jiang couple traveled to the Huo household with Shen Shuci, while Jiang Yanting and his wife went to pick up their child from kindergarten, arriving a bit later.
