Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

The room had certain soundproofing qualities, and Shen Zhixian’s words were inaudible, only the man’s voice, shouting as if he wanted everyone to know.

”...If you’re not afraid of losing face, let’s continue. You eat my food, wear my clothes, slap your bottom and run off abroad. How do we settle the money I’ve spent on you over these years?”

”I’ve already inquired, you’re set to inherit billions...”

The voices inside were intermittent, sounding like a dispute was unfolding, accompanied by the sound of a cup shattering.

”And you dare to threaten me, if I expose your dirty little secrets, let’s see if the Jiang Family would still want you, you wretched woman!”

After a roar, the door to the office suddenly burst open, and the man rushed out, hurrying so fast he almost collided with the old lady.

”You old hag, what are you looking at!” the man shouted at the old lady as he lost his temper, ”Move aside—”

Shen Zhixian, watching from the doorway, clenched her hands, her eyes reddening with shame and embarrassment.

”You...” Tang Wan gritted her teeth, how could there be such an ill-mannered person.

The old lady and Tang Wan were at the doorway, almost blocking the way out, yet the man in his hurry to leave actually stretched out his hand trying to push past them!

”Gr... Grandma.” Shen Zhixian’s pupils shrank, if the old lady got hurt from being pushed, she would have no way to explain to the Jiang Family.

Just as the man’s fingers touched the old lady, Tang Wan was about to take action when she saw a pair of thick, powerful hands reach from behind and twist his wrist.

A crisp sound of breaking bones followed by the man’s scream, his entire body was dragged to the side.

Tang Wan turned her head towards the person who intervened, it was actually the old lady’s driver...

This uncle, usually happy and chubby, surprisingly turned out to be a martial artist.

”...What the hell do you want?”

The man yelled in agony, his wrist dislocated, writhing on the ground in pain, glaring furiously at the driver.

”Nowadays in Beijing, no one dares to shout at me like that.” The old lady caressed her cane, ”You’ve got some nerve, huh?”

”Who... who are you?”

”What type of daughter-in-law our Jiang Family wants is not for you to decide.”

Tang Wan had already figured out that this man was the kind to bully others based on their looks, and sure enough, his expression changed at the mention of the Jiang Family.

”Wanwan, turn around. I’ll go to the Huo Family and get two security guards for your studio, so no cats or dogs can just wander in, disturbing your work.”

”Thank you, Grandma.” Tang Wan smiled in agreement.

”Zhong Xian, Zhong Xian—” the man looked towards Shen Zhixian inside the room, obviously trying to seek her help. Seeing her unmoved, he continued shouting, ”You’ll regret this, you will definitely regret this—”

”What are you staring at! Throw him out!” The old lady’s command was categorical, and the driver complied, pulling the man by the arm and dragging him out.

...

Everyone in the studio was stunned. Was she really that powerful?

”Grandma—” Shen Zhixian had not expected the old lady to get involved, her eyes downcast, unsure of what to say, ”I... that man is my foster...”

”Are you hurt?” The old lady entered the office, smiling as she took her hand, looking her over.

”I’m fine.”

”That’s good then, I’ve brought you up, and if you were hurt, Yanting that boy would blame me...” The old lady gripped her hand tightly.

”What he said just now, actually...” Shen Zhixian wanted to explain.

The old lady simply laughed, ”You don’t need to explain to me, I trust my own judgment and Yanting’s too. We don’t provoke trouble, and as long as we’ve done nothing wrong, we have nothing to fear.”

The man was thrown into the alley behind the studio building, cursing under his breath, but as he turned a corner, two men got out of a car and spoke briefly with him before he followed them into the vehicle...
