Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

Tang Wan just accompanied him, not saying much as she didn’t want to dampen her grandfather’s good spirits.

After being warned by her last time, that person had behaved and stayed away.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen didn’t have omniscient or omnipresent vision; there were many things they weren’t aware of, and they just assumed Xiaoyuan was a friend of Tang Wan and Shen Shuci’s, a rather introverted girl. It was rare to meet someone from the same hometown, so their impression of her wasn’t particularly good or bad.

At this moment, You Shenming had also arrived at the hospital. His car was initially in front of Jiang Chengsi’s. After entering the hospital, he found that Jiang Chengsi was also there.

He knew that old Mrs. Shen was getting discharged today, so he guessed what Jiang was here for. He hesitated for a long time in the parking lot before entering the inpatient department.

A little inquiry revealed that Jiang Jinsang and Huo Qinqi were both around, making him rub his chest.

It was simply dreadful.

Coming here alone, was it necessary to mobilize an entire battalion to pick someone up? Did it need to be such a grand gesture?

”Young Master, Miss Shen is not in the ward.”

”Then I’ll go find her.”

”But Mr. Huo is by her side.”

”...” You Shenming hadn’t dealt with Huo Qinqi before, but he was aware that compared to Huo, the Jiang brothers were rather innocent. Huo Qinqi had a reputation as a fearsome figure in Beijing, so it wouldn’t be wise to cross him.

”Young Master, I think we don’t necessarily have to talk to Miss Shen.” His subordinate began to suggest unwise ideas.

”What do you mean?”

”If we could persuade those around her, like her parents, I heard she listens to her foster parents.”

”But I need to be able to meet her parents first.” You Shenming rubbed his chest, already cursing Jiang Shiyi a thousand times in his heart.

Damn it! He looked genteel...

Barely recovering, he kicked him so hard that it took him ages to catch his breath again. Now his chest was all bruised, and yet he couldn’t do anything about it.

What a misfortune!

There were no personal ties between the You Family and the Jiang Family. You Shenming had only seen Jiang Chengsi a few times at his club; he hadn’t met any of the other Jiang brothers, nor did he have the opportunity.

Recently, he had such bad luck constantly bumping into them!

Encounters with them never bode well.

”I heard the old lady went to see the doctor, accompanied by Mr. Huo, but Mr. Shen is only with Mrs. Jiang, and I just found out that they went to the logistics side.”

”Young Master, this might be the only chance.”

”When they get discharged, the old Shen couple is supposed to stay at Fifth Master’s house, which would then make any contact even harder.”

...

”I know! Then let’s head to logistics.” You Shenming rubbed his chest while cursing Jiang Shiyi under his breath.

Tang Wan had already reached the logistics side with the old Mr. Shen. They didn’t enter the office but called Xiang Xiaoyuan out alone, handed over some gifts, and exchanged a few words.

Xiang Xiaoyuan, having been warned by Tang Wan before, just thanked her repeatedly, wished the old lady well on her discharge, and didn’t say much else.

”...It’s rare to meet someone from the same hometown, and since you’re friends with Wanwan and the others, if I move to a new house, I’ll invite you over for a meal.” The old man laughed.

These were just polite words. Xiang Xiaoyuan cast a sideways glance at Tang Wan standing aside and agreed with a smile, surely she wouldn’t dare to go.

”We won’t disturb your work, we’ll be leaving.” Tang Wan said, supporting the old man’s arm, ”Grandpa, let’s head back.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan watched the two of them walk away, tightening her grip on the gifts in her hands — a box of pastries and chocolates, packaged festively. Her fingertips suddenly clenched, wishing she could crush the packaging bag.

When she was warned before, she didn’t have this demeanor and now could still casually give her things?

Who was she trying to irk? Such a pretentious act!
