Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

With the situation being so sensationalized, the Huo Family had to take responsibility. Other than the Huo Family, it seemed no one else in the country would dare marry her. But they didn’t want to just hand over their daughter to the scoundrel for nothing. If it was a deliberate ploy, they also worried about potential complications, so the elders were indecisive in their hearts.

The Huo Family, clearly being in the know, prepared to take advantage of the current and cement the matter by taking her home with them first and talking later.

Jiang Jinsang really saw things crystal clear now...

No wonder the atmosphere between these two had always been so odd.

If they liked each other, they would have communicated their feelings by now and their interactions would have been different.

Although the Shen Family elders had met the Huo Family, they hadn’t expected them to come forward and set the terms of engagement. Logically, they should be happy given the initiative and sincerity shown by the male’s family, but their overwhelming enthusiasm made it somewhat hard for the Shen Family to cope with.

”Auntie, you’re really overthinking things,” Shen Shuci couldn’t help but speak up, ”I think in a few days, no one in Beijing will mention it again.”

Liang Yun couldn’t help laughing, ”Now the whole of Beijing knows you’re the bride-to-be recognized by our Huo Family. It’s only a matter of time before the engagement is fixed.”

”Just to get married, Qinqi needs to file a marriage report with his superiors, and it takes time for the process to be approved.”

”It gives us a bit of time to prepare well. Trust me, Auntie, you won’t be at a disadvantage.”

”That’s not what I mean, Mr. Huo and I aren’t at that stage yet...” Shen Shuci said she and Huo Qinqi weren’t in that kind of relationship, but probably no one would believe it now.

”Is it that he’s not good enough for you, so you’re unwilling?”

”No, it’s not like that, I...” Shen Shuci hadn’t progressed to that stage with him, and whether he was good or not was irrelevant, but before she could finish explaining, Liang Yun interrupted her with a laugh.

”Of course not, well then, this will be easy to handle. I’ll just discuss it with your parents. Don’t worry about it, you seem quite tired today. Sit at the side and rest for a while.” Liang Yun’s smile was warm, completely lacking her usual condescension.

Shen Shuci could only make eye signals to Huo Qinqi, hoping he would say something. He frowned slightly, as if trying to figure out what she wanted him to say.

To the Jiang Family, their interactions seemed like lovebirds exchanging flirtatious glances.

...

Jiang Chengsi clicked his tongue and turned to Qi Zeyan, ”I never would have thought that one day, old Huo would pull something like this?”

It certainly looked like a public display of affection.

Even if they didn’t admit it, their interactions were quite obvious, they must be very familiar with each other.

”Ha—He’s had too many tricky moves; you just haven’t seen them,” Qi Zeyan, already hit hard tonight, had no desire to be a spectator to this drama.

”Showing off with eyebrow signals right in front of everyone? Is there anything more outrageous than that? Really can’t tell,” Jiang Chengsi clicked his tongue.

”Your contributions might have played a part in this,” Jiang Shiyi whispered.

”My contribution? Bro, are you kidding me? I had no clue about their thing,” Jiang Chengsi replied while tossing a piece of sliced mango into his mouth.

”During second brother’s wedding, in the car, you taught him all sorts of flirting and courting techniques. You encouraged him to take the initiative, and I think he’s been following your advice.”

”Pfft—cough cough...” Jiang Chengsi was finally successfully choked.

Jiang Jinsang glanced at him, ”Fourth brother, you were involved too?”

”Bro, cough—” he hurriedly signaled Jiang Shiyi to pat him on the back.

Indeed, during second brother’s wedding, Jiang Chengsi had indeed filled Huo Qinqi’s head with all sorts of nonsense.

Huo Qinqi getting married and taking the little aunt as his bride?

From where would the little aunt marry off from? The Shen Family didn’t even have a house in Beijing, so if they were fetching the bride from a hotel, who would be responsible for stopping Huo Qinqi? Could it be...

Jiang Chengsi suddenly started to feel a headache coming on.

Eating popcorn until your own house collapses, now that’s something?

”I’ll help you!” Jiang Jinsang saw him choking and offered to help.
