Chapter 536: 342 Uncle Wu reminded? Old Huo, be gentle to girls (3 more updates)

Shen Shuci had just gotten out of the car upon returning home when she remembered her awkward ride with a member of the Huo Family. After someone interrupted their conversation, the entire car ride had been filled with an unspeakable awkwardness.

She genuinely contemplated: Should I just jump out of the car?

Her hand clenched around her phone as if it were a hot potato.

When she finally endured the ride to her front door, she thanked the driver, exited the car with movements as swift and hurried as if a flood or beast was chasing her.

As soon as she used the fingerprint lock to enter, she was startled to see Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang standing inside, turning pale with fright.

"Why are you two here?"

"I called you at noon wanting to pick you up, but you said it wasn’t necessary and told me to buy groceries first. Wasn’t that already arranged?" Tang Wan furrowed her brows. "What’s wrong with you? You look like you’ve seen a ghost."

The door was set up with a fingerprint system, and on the first day Shen Shuci moved in, Tang Wan had entered her fingerprint, making it convenient to come and go.

She was already busy in the kitchen, where soup was simmering, its fragrance filling the air.

"I’m fine." Shen Shuci had been startled too much that day, having forgotten about the arrangement with Tang Wan, "Do you need help with anything?" She put down her bag, took off her coat, and was about to enter the kitchen.

"The kitchen is too small, you’d better sit down." In a house of thirty-forty square meters that had everything compacted, having two people in the kitchen would make even turning around difficult, let alone having Shen Shuci in there?

Her presence, like a bomber, could be overwhelming!

"Commuting by taxi must be expensive, right?"

"It’s okay."

"With just an internship salary, commuting by taxi might eat up your entire monthly earnings..."

"I’ll change into something more comfortable first, just let me know if you need help." Wearing a body-hugging pencil skirt was truly uncomfortable. Shen Shuci went to the bathroom to change, and when she came out, she sat outside with Jiang Jinsang, waiting for dinner.

"How’s your hand?" Jiang Jinsang asked.

"It’s nothing serious."

"I went for a check-up at the hospital today and specifically asked Uncle Zhou to get some ointment for you. Apply it before bed; the results should be good." Jiang Jinsang passed her the ointment, observing her expression discreetly.
