Chapter 580: 369 Wuyes vs Huoyes, no will to survive (2 more)_2

“Um.”

“Do you not feel scared living alone as a young woman?”

“It’s okay, the neighborhood security is quite good.”

“You're so beautiful, do you have a boyfriend?” After all, she didn’t know much about her personal information.

“No.” Shen Shuci always felt a peculiar gaze from her and was inexplicably uneasy at heart.

“Didn’t you date anyone abroad either?”

“I don't like foreigners. In our area, the chances of meeting someone from the shometown are also slim, and

my parents hope | can find a boy from our country.”

Shen Shuci didn’t want to date anyone, but faced with an elder, she couldn't just say she didn’t want to date

anyone. Saying she didn’t want to talk about it and hadn’t planned on it didn’t sound right, so she made up an

excuse to brush it off.

“What kind of person do you like, what are your criteria?”

“If I like someone, the criteria don’t really matter. Having chemistry is more important.”

Liang Yun nodded her head, quite satisfied with her answer. She could tell she was not the pretentious type.

“If you find a boyfriend in the future, but you often live separately, would you accept that?”

“Hm?” Shen Shuci was twisting open the faucet to wash the freshly picked vegetables and didn’t hear her

clearly.

“Never mind.” Liang Yun felt she was being too hasty.

How could she not be in a hurry? She was about to leave and wished in the remaining time, Shen Shuci could

immediately marry into their family and have children with her son.

She also worried that being too hurried might scare the young girl, given she’s still so young.

Meanwhile, Jiang Shiyi was alone in the living room, facing Huo Family's father and son pair and was somewhat

getting a headache. Was it necessary for them to stare at him just because he had a casual chat with Shen

Shuci?

ok

But the Huo Family parents were also truly pressed for time. Originally, they chjust to have a meal with

their son, but ended up at Shen Shuci’s company, then got delayed at the police station. The food was ready, but

Tang Wan and the others hadn't arrived yet. They ate hurriedly and then left.

Parents always have words of advice, personal matters naturally don’t want outsiders to hear, Shen Shuci and

Jiang Shiyi only saw them out of the living room, not to the main door.

Liang Yun stepped forward and adjusted her son’s clothes, “Your dad and | will leave first. I've seen the young

lady, but there's not much I can do to help you...”

Huo Zheng nodded, “It’s my own matter, I'll handle it.”

“I know.”

Shen Shuci stood not far away watching the departure of Huo Family’s car. He stood there for a long while.

Suddenly she thought that maybe, ever since childhood, he had watched his parents leave like this, alone in

such a big house...

How had he managed all alone?

“People only see how much glory the Huo Family has, but who knows how much they have sacrificed, it’s not

easy.” Jiang Shiyi smiled.

Shen Shuci nodded, watching his retreating figure, and for the first time, felt...

He might be very lonely.

A faint sourness stirred in her heart.

“I heard he was in several missions where he almost didn’t make it back, once he was transferred to a hospital in

Beijing, it was Doctor Zhou who saved him, he was nearly gone, and his parents didn’t have tto visit. After

being discharged, he even stayed at his grandmother's house for a while. He also lived with the Jiang Family for

a period during his school days...”

“So whenever Uncle and Auntie cback to Beijing, they always visit our home.”

“Auntie surely feels she owes him a lot, but she can’t help it.”

Jiang Shiyi didn’t say these to set them up, but rather to subtly make Shen Shuci understand that marrying him

wouldn't be like marrying an ordinary man; there would be many heartaches involved.

It was also a sort of tacit warning.

Shen Shuci listened attentively, looking at the figure at the doorway, thoughtful...

She always thought this man was strong and formidable, seemingly indestructible.

Now she thought, who is born looking like this?

After all, no matter how cold and ruthless, he’s also a living person, how could he truly lack emotions and

desires? Perhaps it’s just that he hides them well and isn’t good at expressing them openly.

But what Shen Shuci didn’t realize was when a woman begins to feel sympathy for a man, to the point of aching

for him, it was a terrifying thing.

As the parents’ car disappeared from sight, he finally turned and entered the house, but accidentally met Shen

Shuci’s gaze. Their eyes collided, and she pursed her lips and smiled.

Her smile blossomed like pear blossoms on the water, exceptionally beautiful. His steps faltered slightly, her look

at him was completely different than before.

Glancing over at Jiang Shiyi, had he said something?

Jiang Shiyi, on the other hand, was staring at swooden stakes in the yard, completely ignoring him.

Soon, Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang arrived at the Huo Family.

One person was taciturn, and Shen Shuci didn’t know how to start explaining the whole affair, so Jiang Shiyi took

on the task.

He simplified the situation involving a mad woman causing trouble, the general state of affairs, and the fact that

Huo Family members were present. He didn’t lie or hide anything; Jiang Jinsang could easily find out with an

inquiry.

The only thing that needed to be hidden was something about someone holding Shen Shuci...

“Old Huo? How did you happen to be there?”

“I just happened to be nearby, saw the message you sent, and pretty much guessed it,” He spoke with an

extremely cold demeanor, his voice calm, giving no indication of lying from any aspect.

“What were you doing nearby?” Jiang Jinsang pressed.

“Is that any of your business? Are you interrogating me?”

“I'm just curious, is it inconvenient to disclose?”

“Inconvenient.”

Jiang Jinsang raised an eyebrow, thinking it involved his work, and did not ask further.

Shen Shuci touched her forehead with a hand. She had been worried that he would mention picking her up which

would lead to them uncovering her lying with Tang Wan, making it impossible to clear things up.

Unexpectedly, he hadn't said a word.

Meanwhile, Jiang Shiyi, standing to the side, was stunned by the response.

Honestly, sneaking around behind

So forceful?

No wonder Jiang Chengsi always said, never provoke him.

Jiang Jinsang laughed, “Just curious, and considering what happened earlier, you didn’t even tellor Wanwan.”

Shen Shuci spoke up, “It waswho asked him to keep it from you, to save you the worry.”

And the person spoke even more directly, “I've already handled the issue, what help could you have offered if |

informed you?”

In simple terms:

What's the point of telling you if you couldn't have been of help anyway! It's better not to speak!

Jiang Shiyi sat there, completely humbled.

Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan had

You should understand the principle of loving all related things.

Judging from his current performance, his will to please was zero; how could anyone believe he had feelings for

Shen Shuci!

No wonder Jiang Jinsang hadn't suspected anything for so long.

“But regardless, | must thank Brother Huo for the help,” Tang Wan said with a smile.

“This matter was initially handled by

That tone, utterly devoid of emotion, made even Tang Wan touch her nose and nudge Jiang Jinsang, unsure of

what to say next.

Honestly, the person’s expression made it really hard to continue any conversation.

“I send you a message, and you react so quickly, really...” Jiang Jinsang chuckled.

“Are you questioning my ability to act?”

“I just didn’t expect you to be faster than the third cousin.” Jiang Shiyi should have been the quickest.

“I hear from Chengsi that he’s a bit of a germophobe and has sOCD; probably too meticulous, which makes

him slower.”

Jiang Shiyi: “...”

He seriously suspected the person was attacking him personally.
