Chapter 581: 370 Is Uncle Wu overthinking? Aunt Flo’s active invitation (3 more updates)

Shen Shuci was almost harassed and found herself in trouble with provocateurs; both Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang

knew deep down Jiang Shiyi had definitely omitted sdetails. However, delving into those details would

amount to inflicting secondary harm on her, so Jiang Shiyi spoke vaguely, and neither pressed further.

However, they had left their meal midway and ended up grabbing another meal at the Huo Family.

"| said you guys went to the police station, but why did you then visit the Huo Family? So it was Auntie Huo

inviting you." Tang Wan originally found it odd.

"Heard about my horse riding scare, she kept apologizing, wanting to treatto a meal. They were rushing for

time, so didn’t wait for you." Shen Shuci spoke truthfully about this.

As the two women chatted, the three men at the table just focused on their food without speaking.

However, Shen Shuci received a call from her manager, telling her to not cto work these next few days and

to rest at hinstead.

"Manager, has this incident caused a bad impact? I'm sorry for the trouble." Shen Shuci felt apologetic as the

situation turned quite ugly, with many colleagues present, fearing she might even lose her job.

"It's not your fault. Her temper was bound to cause a scene sooner or later. I've reported everything truthfully to

the higher-ups; it won't affect you."

"| just feel it’s tough on you and wanted you to rest at hfor a couple of days. Don’t overthink it, just cto

work on tnext week."

"Thank you, Manager."

On hearing about Shen Shuci’s leave, Tang Wan invited her to stay at her place for a couple of days.

"lI won't, | might need to make a few more trips to the police station recently, and it’s too far from your place, not

very convenient."

Shen Shuci wasn’t clueless, she had just noticed a love bite on Tang Wan’s neck, realizing the two might be...

She definitely didn’t want to be a third wheel.

After dinner, naturally, Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang took Shen Shuci home. Chengsi returned from the racing

track; after picking up Jiang Shiyi from the Huo Family, they all went their separate ways.

"Brother, what happened to Miss Shen? Why even Old Huo got involved?" Chengsi was naturally curious.

"It's nothing serious."

"| feel like you're hiding something from me."

Jiang Shiyi looked at him with lifted eyelids, "There's a lot I'm keeping from you. What are you going to do about

it?"

Bored at night, Chengsi played a gonline with Qi Zeyan, and during their chat, he complained about the

situation.

"Shen Shuci got into trouble?" Qi Zeyan immediately sat up straight.

"Seems like she was harassed by a superior, and Old Huo happened to run into it and beat the guy up."

"Harassing Shen Shuci and even getting caught by Old Huo, that guy... has sguts."

"Today it seems like that man’s wife cto make a scene. Anyway, | don’t know the specifics. | asked my

brother, and he didn’t say," Chengsi mumbled.

Qi Zeyan, frustrated, slapped his thigh, Oh hell, | missed out on the gossip. What a pity!

After Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang had taken Shen Shuci hand stayed a while longer before leaving, Shen

Shuci repeatedly insisted that they mustn't tell the Shen Family elders about the incident.

"Don’t worry, | won't tell Grandpa about it; | still have that much sense." Tang Wan smiled, "If nothing comes up

tomorrow, I'll cover and keep you company."

"Go back and get srest early, you still have red veins under your eyes; didn’t sleep well last night, did you?"

Tang Wan couldn't possibly tell her...

That she hadn't slept at all.

Thinking about what happened last night, her ears turned faintly red. Shen Shuci, who had grown up abroad, was

somewhat more liberal in certain aspects. Tang Wan just glanced at Jiang Jinsang, "Everything in moderation, let

her rest more."

"I know." Jiang Jinsang nodded, aware deep down that it was Tang Wan’s first time, and what they did last night

was indeed a bit much, so tonight, he hadn’t planned to do anything.

Tang Wan blushed furiously, "Aunt Flo—"

"As the elder, what's wrong with showing sconcern?"

Shen Shuci wasn’t old, but she quite knew how to act elder indeed.

"Um... | want to talk to Wanwan alone for a bit."

"I'll wait for you downstairs." Jiang Jinsang always had a knack for sensing the situation.

Once he headed downstairs, Shen Shuci pulled Tang Wan aside, "When did you two get involved?"

"Yesterday afternoon."

"Is his body alright? Recovered well?" It's said it takes a hundred days to recover from bone and muscle injuries,

not to mention Jiang Jinsang was born with this condition.

"It should be fine."

If anyone dared call him fragile or useless in the future, Tang Wan really wanted to beat them up, Jiang Jinsang

was simply...

"Did you two take precautions?"

"No."

"Planning to have a kid?"

"He said if we get pregnant, we'll keep it, so..."

"Don’t indulge him too much. | just saw you today and I felt your complexion didn’t look very good. Anything in

excess isn't good; you know what | mean."

Frustrated, Tang Wan reflected, honestly, that Shen Shuci was younger than her yet so "affectionate" to discuss

such matters with her, which left her feeling indescribable.

Shen Shuci felt that since Tang Wan’s mother had passed away early and the Shen Family had treated her so

well, it was somewhat like transferring the love meant for their own daughter to her. Therefore, she always felt

that she owed Tang Wan a duty and obligation.

Tang Wan exited the apartment building, and the cool night breeze seemed to disperse sof the heat from

her face.

"What did your aunt talk to you about?" Jiang Jinsang asked, noticing her embarrassed expression.

"Nothing much." Tang Wan was too embarrassed to repeat the exact words.

"Don’t you think today’s incident was a bit strange?"

Jiang Jinsang sat in the car, idly reflecting on the day’s events again. If today’s incidents hadn't occurred, he

might never have known about the things Shen Shuci and the Huo Family were involved in that he was unaware

of.

But the two of them seemed normal...

Mainly, two specific people did not at all seem like they were having an affair.

Jiang Shiyi, not close with any of them, should have been more objective. Nothing he said was particularly

suspicious.

"It's fine if your aunt is okay." Tang Wan also realized many details were unclear but felt it improper to press

further, "Alright, let’s not think too much about it."

"| feel you often overthink things, turning simple matters into complex ones."

"You should rest well instead. With this free time, maybe help elder brother with the wedding details."

Jiang Jinsang nodded; he and Zhou Zhongging’s affair was clearly just overthinking. He and Tang Wan had indeed

cclose yesterday...

And he was perfectly healthy!

He wasn't foolish; thinking it through,

he realized he'd been duped by Zhou

The truth proved that sometimes overthinking wasn’t beneficial.

Meanwhile, at the Huo Family's side, their car had left Beijing long ago, and during a rest stop, they made a call

home.

"You didn’t escort her home?" Liang Yun frowned slightly by the car.

"Xiaowu and his wife came."

"So what if they came? You should have taken her home." Liang Yun had a severe headache.

Ridiculous teammates, what to do when you can’t count on them to handle things?

Creating opportunities without knowing how to seize them.

"I'm telling you, there aren’t that many coincidences in this world. If opportunity doesn’t knock, you have to

learn to create it. Driving her to and from work daily, who knows if she’ll just consider you a driver."

"lI am not a driver."

"Then shut up, I'm hanging up."

Huo Zheng had just gone to the service area to get shot water and handed it to his wife, "What's with him

again?"

"You knew to helpwith food and

hot water back in our day. This kid is

Only verifying a few things and signing sdocuments, it took less than an hour.

Recalling his mother’s words, before Shen Shuci could speak, he took the initiative, "I'll take you back."

"Mm." Shen Shuci nodded.

Still silent on the way, they reached her apartment building. Seeing it was just past nine in the morning, and that

she didn’t have work or any plans, she hesitantly asked, "Mr. Huo, would you like to cup for a bit?"

The Huo family, hearing this, thought it was promising!

Elated internally, yet they strove to remain calm.
