Capítulo 768: 470 Complaining about the old men being good at flirting? Their nest has been busted (2nd update)

The huge inertia from being dragged by the dog caused the red-haired young man to fail to stop his feet in time, and it was lucky that Huo Qinqi raised his hand to pull him back.

“Thanks, bro.”

He steadied himself, instinctively adjusted his clothes, and ran his fingers through his hair before smiling warmly at Shen Shuci. He was completely different from Huo Qinqi, with a beauty that could almost be described as pretty, and when he smiled, his two rows of bright white teeth shone.

His skin was pale like a scallion, delicate and clean, only his hair was in a wild disarray because of the wind. After scratching at it for a good while, there was still a tuft of red hair flamboyantly flicking in the wind.

Who wouldn’t like a sunny and cheerful young man who was also quite handsome?

He was not one for trivial propriety, wiped his hands on his clothes, and stretched out a hand to Shen Shuci, “Sister-in-law, hello, my name is Huo Ran.”

“Hello.” Shen Shuci was just about to extend her hand when someone’s hand was slapped away by Huo Qinqi.

“Bro?”

“Dirty, go wash your hands.”

“Sister-in-law, then I’ll see you later.” Huo Ran was obviously used to being “bullied” and didn’t talk back or resist; he obediently went inside the house.

Shen Shuci had seen him once before, just a brief glimpse, and didn’t know that the Huo Family had such an amusing person. She had thought all of Huo Qinqi’s cousins were similar in temperament to him.

“His name is Huo Ran? What Ran?” Shen Shuci asked while watching Huo Qinqi, who had already squatted down to pet the dog.

“The Ran from ‘what comes next’. His parents originally wanted two kids to make up the phrase ‘refreshingly open and bright’, but it didn’t pan out,” replied Huo Qinqi.

Shen Shuci nodded.

Later, the Huo Family members came over and led the dog away.

“Why did he suddenly want to walk the dog today?” Huo Qinqi looked at the person beside him. Huo Ran was the type who would rather sprawl on the bed, idle away his life, and barely bothers to move an inch.

Moreover, he had recently been groaning about being crippled by him and wished the whole world would treat him like a precious prince.

“He wants to post on his social media circle. Maybe it was to show off the dog and his friends, so…” after all, the Huo Family’s dog was no ordinary dog.

Huo Qinqi took a deep breath; that kid really was…

Always up to no good, never a moment of peace.

Shen Shuci seldom saw him this helpless, but then the meal started, and she didn’t get the chance to ask her questions.

Jiang Mansion

Tang Wan had been closely following the situation between Shen Shuci and Huo Qinqi, knowing that her grandfather had a prejudice against him, and given his reticence, she was a bit worried that something might go awry.

“Grandpa even came to me yesterday,” said Jiang Jinsang directly.

“What did he want with you?”

“To ask about the Huo Family’s situation.”

“You…” Tang Wan frowned, looking at him suspiciously, “You didn’t backstab him, did you? Saying bad things about Big Brother Huo in front of grandpa?”

“Am I really that bad a person in your eyes?” Jiang Jinsang was a bit miffed.

His own wife actually thought so poorly of him.

Tang Wan merely smiled, “Have you ever thought of yourself as a good person?”

Standing nearby, Jiang Cuo couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Their… Jinsang had never really been a good person, not since childhood.

Ever since Jiang Jinsang was discharged from the hospital, they had been living in the mansion. Tang Wan had heard plenty from the old lady about Jinsang’s childhood antics, which were truly exasperating.

She subconsciously touched her stomach, hoping the child wouldn’t inherit from him; otherwise…

“Although I wanted to stab him in the back, I’m not as bad as you think. I just told the truth. Some things, even if I beautify them for him, grandpa will find out sooner or later,” Jinsang was just being realistic, not intentionally exaggerating or distorting the facts to defame Huo Qinqi.

Deliberately defaming him, as a friend, might make Old Shen suspect his character.

Jinsang was very shrewd and wouldn’t do anything that might cost him his image.

“You were quite supportive of your aunt dating when we talked about it before, weren’t you?”

“But I never thought the person who would become my uncle-in-law would be my brother.”
