Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

The door was bolted from the inside, but after the patriarch let her in, she spoke softly, ”Grandpa, grandma, would you like to step outside for a bit?”

”Is it time for dinner? I’m not hungry yet.” Since everyone was back, indeed it was time to eat.

”Uncle Huo and Aunt Huo have arrived, and... Big Brother Huo wants to see you.”

The elders looked at each other, then at Shen Shuci.

The Shen head laughed, ”See them, why not? I want to see what their family wants to do.”

The old patriarch whisked past Tang Wan like a breeze as he stepped out the door, only to return, saying, ”No, I need to wash my face.”

He had been waiting in the living room all afternoon, until now, anxious and irritable, and various messages coming one after another took a toll on his appearance.

Now that he was going to meet that rascal, he certainly needed to present himself neatly, as he could not afford to lose in terms of face or momentum!

Afterward, the old patriarch even changed into a crisp Zhongshan suit before heading out the door.

When they left, the three members of the Shen family were dumbfounded yet again...

Was the Huo family moving in a marketplace?

Why did they buy so many things!

Neatly laid out, they filled a good part of the Jiang family’s living room.

The Shen patriarch glanced at Shen Shuci, ”Is this your ’ordinary friend?’”

Bringing so many things, the intention to please was too obvious; an ordinary family’s marriage proposal wouldn’t even match this display.

Shen Shuci was also stunned, ”...”

She knew the Huo couple went to the mall; she thought they’d casually buy some nutritional products, but she never expected it to be like this.

Following behind him, Shen Shuci dared not refute a single word, but Tang Wan elbowed her, ”Auntie, your ’ordinary colleague’ has arrived.”

Shen Shuci shot her a glare, frustrated that even she was teasing her.

”Who asked you to keep even me in the dark, constantly feeding me that ’ordinary colleague’ story? But I’m really curious, how did you tame Big Brother Huo? Do you two even talk when you’re together?” Tang Wan nearly burst with curiosity, ”I’d been worrying about you living alone all this time, but it turns out...”

”You actually brought him home, no wonder you didn’t want to move in with Xixi, because it wouldn’t be convenient for the two of you to be alone, right?”

”And you kept telling me, no love, no dating.”

Shen Shuci just wanted to cover her mouth.

”Wanwan.” Jiang Jinsang called Tang Wan over.

Then, Shen Shuci noticed that aside from Shen Zhixian, who might have taken the child back to rest, all the Jiang family members were present, including Qi Zeyan caught in the middle, all sitting neatly – Jiang Chengsi even prepared a fruit platter, ready for a spectacle.
