Chapter 645: 407 Seizing the Opportunity for Revenge, Getting to Know a Quirky Family (2 Updates)

Having picked up the elderly Shen couple from the airport, Jiang Jinsang had already reserved a spot at Quanjude in Beijing.

On the drive there, Tang Wan sat in the passenger seat, with the three members of the Shen Family in the back. The old granny held Shen Shuci’s hand the entire time, eyeing her carefully, "You’ve gotten a bit skinny and look somewhat haggard. Haven’t you been resting well?"

"I was busy until late yesterday." Shen Shuci had no choice but to follow through with her lie.

"Don’t work so hard. If you’re short on cash, just tell me."

"I’m not." Her internship didn’t pay much, but her expenses were really modest. Plus, with the little savings she had accumulated over time, she was quite comfortable.

"Look at you, wearing so little. Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold..."

The old lady’s nagging was nothing more than the typical concerns any parent would repeatedly remind their child, and with her advancing age, it came even more frequently. Shen Shuci simply smiled and responded politely.

Arriving at Quanjude, the group sat down for a meal. Jiang Jinsang and the elder Mr. Shen were on one side, probably discussing national military and political matters of the day due to their seniority, while Tang Wan and Shen Shuci sat close by the old granny chatting about less significant matters.

The elders had come this time to attend Jiang Yanting’s wedding. Speaking of which, the old lady couldn’t help feeling emotional:

"Wanwan’s wedding is probably coming up soon. Shuci, the young man Master Xi introduced to you the other day, you didn’t like him?"

Xi Fangli had gone to Jinling for an exhibition tour and had been away for three or four days. It was unlikely he would attend Jiang Yanting’s wedding.

"He’s a nice person. We just might not click," Shen Shuci muttered with a slight cough.

"I know you’ve always been sensible and haven’t given me much to worry about. But at your age, marriage is something you should start seriously considering..."

Shen Shuci knew all too well the old lady’s good intentions and nodded in agreement. Midway through, she excused herself to go to the washroom, and the old lady took the opportunity to ask Tang Wan about the blind date.

"... I’ve told Master Xi, if there’s someone suitable, keep them in mind for your little aunt. You know her temper, she’s sensitive, stubborn, and obstinate. I worry she’ll get angry." The old lady was extremely gentle and was also concerned that Shen Shuci would resent these arrangements.

"It’s okay, little aunt understands. She didn’t react badly, you’re overthinking it."

"What kind of person was the young man Master Xi introduced? He should be good, why didn’t she like him?" The old lady sighed.

Tang Wan did meet Yu Wei once later, when they were saying goodbye to Xi Fangli...

On that day, Shen Shuci was also there. She felt that Yu Wei was excessively polite when speaking with Shen Shuci, to the point that Tang Wan even thought Yu Wei was a bit scared of her.

If it weren’t for the fact that both of them had returned from the Jiang Family’s backyard grove safe and sound, Tang Wan might have suspected that the little aunt had given him a thrashing.
